Pet Sitting in Southern Shores

“Trent was great, he was able to help us out on short notice while we were staying in Duck and took Riley out for a walk, played with her and gave her lunch while we were gone. Would recommend Trent for your stays in OBX!”

“Kayla took care of our two kitties doing drop in visits while we were away for 6 days and she did a great job. One of our cats is very scared and not a people person, but she loved Kayla so much she would come out for her everyday and get loves and pets. We’ve actually never had a pet sitter be able to do that, they usually think she doesn’t exist 🤣 Kayla was also great about sending photos and leaving comments so we would know exactly how our babies were doing and didn’t have to worry. She was reliable and very pleasant. Would definitely recommend Kayla!”

“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”

“Teresa was great. Very conscientious and always on time. The cats were well cared for.”

“OB loves his visits! Thanks for always taking such great care of him!”

“Kelli was fantastic, had out of town emergency and Kelli stepped up for us . Cats were super happy, got great updates with photos. When available she is our go to house sitter”

“Kristen has helped me with my children, my elderly parents, and my dogs! Her heart is enormous and she wants nothing but the best for all of Gods creatures. I trust her with my life”

About: Foster mom of 1! Most of my free time is spent walking dogs at the shelter so I have lots of experience with every type of dog! My parents run a pet care business and I often help them with daily walks as well as overnight stays. I live on a horse farm and have extensive experience caring for livestock as well as household pets. I work at one of our local mountains Saturday- Tuesday. I’m happy to drop in after work if your pup needs, but I’m also available all day Wednesday-Friday! My pup is a recent foster who prefers some space when he’s outside so I often let him out first thing in the morning, then we do a 20-30 minute walk before having breakfast and often lounging around the house until we go outside to get some exercise in the early afternoon.

“Haley checked on our 2 cats for us while we were away on vacation. She was very punctual and sent us updates/photos the entire time. We would definitely love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Kelsey. I can assure you that your pet will be loved & cared for as if they were my own❤️ I grew up with dogs my whole life and I often volunteer at animal shelters. Making your animal feel loved and cared for is my number one priority. I grew up with a lab, golden retriever, and an Alaskan Malamute in my house. I have the maturity, energy levels and personality to provide the absolute best possible care for your beloved while you’re away. I also have references for you if you’d be interested. As I mentioned, I do school from home so I have plenty of time to give your pet exactly what it needs. For the most part, they will rarely be left alone since I’m currently a full time student. They will have plenty of walks, exercise, affection, cuddles and belly rubs etc while you’re away! I can accomadate your dog’s usual walk schedule and also furniture, food, exercise, play, affection and temperament needs. I will also communicate and send pictures and videos to reassure you, unless you don’t want to get them frequently just let me know! I’m very present and affectionate with the dogs who stay with me. They can cuddle and sleep on my bed with me or the couch if that’s what they’re used to at home with you. There’s plenty of room for their doggy bed and toys.❤️ Lastly, I will only have other dogs at the same time as yours if it’s with prior permission. I am currently doing college online which means I have a lot of free time during the day so I would definitely be walking and playing with your dog plenty!❤️ Let me know if you have any special requests for your pet and I will be more than happy to accommodate! Also I have a fenced in yard so they can run around as much as they would like.

“Laura has been so reliable and a wonderful sitter for my sweet cat. I’m grateful for her check-ins, and to work with such a trusted caretaker 🤍”

“Macey has walked both my dogs & let me tell you, they are challenging! A 100lb lab who pulls like he is at the Iditarod & my 14 lbs Cairn Terrier who is extremely bossy. Macey is kind, patient, & reliable. She is excellent at communicating, letting me know she will be there & on time, then letting me know when she is on her way. Extremely good with my difficult dogs. Can't say enough good things about Macey.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Itzel! From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely cares about Charlie. Charlie, absolutely adores her and looks forward to their visits with tail wagging excitement. She is always punctual, reliable, and goes the extra mile to ensure Charlie is happy, exercised, and safe. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Charlie is in caring hands when I’m not home. I highly recommend Itzel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet walker.”

“Once again, we could count on Lauren to care for our cats. She fed them and played with them when I couldn’t be there. Totally dependable.Thanks so much!!!”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur family while we were out of town! I will definitely book with you again!!”

About: I have two English labradors with my older, one being a therapy dog. My younger one is in training. At this time, I can provide in-home visits and dog walking with the possibility of boarding in the near future. I work full-time during the week however I do work from home so I have some flexibility as to how I schedule my day of course depending on mandatory meetings. I will treat your home just as I treat mine with my two dogs. With respect, keeping things clean and tidy, having fun and ensuring safety.

“Kayla is a stand up dog sitter. She spent a lot of time with our dog Thor. She was always on time and sent pictures and updates. We will be booking her again. We are so happy she was available for Thor. 💙🐾”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!

About: I’ll love your dogs like they’re my own 🫶🏼 I have a Shiba/Border Collie mix at home and I grew up with Labs, German Shepards, Dachshunds, & Yorkies. I’m currently unemployed. I was laid off from my corporate job due to government budget cuts. I am actively looking for a summer job & I love dogs. I have a fenced in yard at home. My dog LOVES playing frisbee! We also go for long walks around the neighborhood and on the beach.

“I had no problems with Lauren as she watched my cat Jimi. She did what she was asked to do. I would hire her again, if needed. I appreciated the updates with pictures. Thanks again, Lauren.”
