“This lady is awesome. She took great care of my boys and my other pets as well (sugar gliders and turtle). She was responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. I also had so much appreciation for her because on our way back from our trip, our flight was canceled, and she was able to still pop in on the crew and make sure they were ok and fed, we couldn’t have been more thankful for her. She will be at the top of our list should we have to go away again and I would highly recommend her if you need someone to looks after your fur babies. Thank you Katie!!”
2. Emily W.
“Emily was a great pet sitter for our two large puppy dogs, a 1.5 yo husky mix and a 8 mo GSD. She clearly has a lot of experience and love for animals. Emily was very attentive to my instructions and our dogs warmed right up to her! She was prompt to respond to my texts and sent pictures of the dogs playing. We are all looking forward to having Emily pet sit again soon.”

About: I have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family for years. I enjoy caring for them and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently work remotely for work one day a week. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can work closely with the schedule your pet maintains at their home. Though I work full time, I am allowed breaks and conduct visits or walks before or after work, and also during my lunch break. Weekends my availability is open and I can accommodate more easily. I have a back patio but the door does not close. I live beside the greenway trail and live a couple of feet away from the dog park if your furry pups would like some play mates. I am very open to instruction, and will treat them like my own within your household.

“Rachel was amazing! The dogs seemed very calm and well cared for upon our return. The house was just as clean as when we left and we felt she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Rachel was wonderful about sending updates and took some beautiful photos of our kiddos. I can’t recommend her enough.”

About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for by an experienced Dog Dad! I have a spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 1x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. Bh default, booked Pups do not leave the home during their stay unless I have an exclusive conversation with pet parents. If you want your pup to go to the dog park with Mac, you have to ask, otherwise for safety they will be bound to the living quarters of my home. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special needs please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

“I want to recommend Marlon for any dog and cat caretaking role. Having personally seen their remarkable skills and deep affection for animals, I can confidently say they are an outstanding candidate. Marlon has so much experience, having lovingly owned a spirited husky and four beloved cats. Their knowledge of different breeds, coupled with their ability to cater to each pet's unique needs, sets them apart. Whether it’s managing a husky’s boundless energy or attending to the diverse personalities of multiple cats, Marlon demonstrates exceptional care and commitment. Their genuine love for animals and meticulous attention to their well-being make them an invaluable asset to any pet care team.”

15. Charlton T.
“Recently my husband and I planned a trip to the mountains for the weekend and were in need for someone to care for our German Shepherd at home. We also have many cats that live at the house that would need to be fed at the same time. We contacted Charles T and he met us promptly, and we discussed how we feed our animals, where we kept the food and medication and how we interacted with each of them. During our trip, we both text each other and he would give us updates on our animals, which was imported to us in order to have an enjoyable trip knowing our animals at home we’re happy and content with us away from them. Charles T would spend time walking our dog around the property, chilling with the cats on the porch and talking to them as we always do. We believe the small details and care made a difference with our animals and an enjoyable trip not having to worry about our fur babies back home. We would highly recommend Charles T. for your pet needs. He listens and understands what you expect from him, and you will not be disappointed in his service.”
16. Harley H.
“Harley would be an amazing caregiver for your fur babies. Not only having the experience of caring for her 3 adorable dogs, she worked many years at the shelter for homeless animals - feeding, walking, nail trims, medical needs etc. Harley was there. My 2 dogs love Harley, especially when I go on vacation because they get all her attention. Harley has great work ethic and very detail oriented. You won't have to worry about your animals when they are in her care.”

About: Hi! I l would love to pet sit for you! Growing up, I have always had animals. Right now, I have three dogs and four cats who I love very much. I also have my own cat who I decided to get to keep me some company at college. She is one of the best decisions I have made. I am attending at ECU with a Business major in hope to work on my Real Estate license this Christmas. I will be graduating early around 2026. I have always said that If I wasn’t a business major, I would be a vet because of the huge amount of love I have for all animals. My schedule changes a lot being I attend at ECU. However, I am open all the way for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Definitely more open when I have Holidays. If not, we can work together to look at my schedule. Summer I am open too!!! My pets have always been well taken care of and are definitely spoiled. I love to take them riding in the jeep and walks on the beach is their all time favorite!
18. Michaela M.
“Michaela is amazing and was the absolute best with my pup! My dog loved her from the second they met, they were instant besties. Michaela is a great communicator, made sure to keep me updated with photos and videos while I was out of town, and was super respectful of my home. 10/10 would recommend; I will definitely rebook her in the future!”
