“Lizzy is great! She took great care of our kitties again while we were on vacation. I appreciated her thoughtful updates daily letting me know how our cats were doing. She even noticed a small scratch near my cats eye and monitored it daily to make sure it didn’t get worse. She is very attentive and reliable.”

“Jessica was great with my 3 dogs. Was on-time with showing up and took plenty of photos. I will definitely be using Jessica in the future and would highly recommend.”

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. I started caring for animals in high school when I would watch our family dog who was a large Akita mix, and other local pets in the neighborhood. I later adopted my cat Abby who has since traveled the United States with me. I love all animals and am happy to help out with any pet care needs you have for your furry friends! I recently moved to NC and also work at a couple local bars, I'm available for walks most days and house sitting depends on my work schedule - I'll always communicate with all requests regarding my availability! I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.

“Absolutely amazing sitter! Professional, kind, and my two cats LOVED her. Each visit she’d write a great update, with photos of the scooped litter boxes, cats being fed, and automatic feeder/water fountain plugged in. We had absolute peace of mind knowing our cats were well taken care of. Will 100% book again in the future!”

“Holly took great care of our dogs while we were out of town! She was very friendly and respectful of our house, and our dogs loved her. Would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”

“Luckaia is great, very friendly and caring, communication is great, and I am very grateful for that! Now I feel much more comfortable being away from my dog, knowing that our furry girl is in good, loving hands. Thanks a lot, Luckaia!”

About: Over the years I've taken care of every pet known to man. From ball pythons to tiny gold finiches, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. From the time I could walk my family has had a dog (we had five when I was 6) and I've cared for everyone of them. I've pet sat, dog walked, and even done some puppy training, though Im no expert, for friends and family. From feeding blind senior dogs with no teeth to cleaning up puppy poops I've done it. Walks, playtime, food time and bathroom times I can do it all. Just give me intructions and I'll be able to get it done. I currently work on Sundays at a local church so I can work with your schedule and your time constraints week days, weekends or just a few hours. I can be as flexible as you need. I do have a personal policy of no same day bookings because of how busy my schedule can be. If I'm dog sitting I'll need a list of what you'd like me to do for and with your dog be that taking him/her on a walk, potty breaks, food time, or just providing company and comfort. I'll need to know any medications, food requirements, allergies or medical issues that your dog may have. I have a very big and very friendly golden retriever named Troy and a very sassy tabby cat named Bas who both love new friends. Troy especially loves new playmates. It's whatever you need me to do to make sure that your fur baby is as safe and as comfortable as possible.
“Bre was so perfect to watch our cats! She came by ahead of time to met them and understand their routine and care expectations. I also loved the cute photos she uploaded of our babies while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Leah was incredibly helpful when I had to leave town for a few days. She came over to meet the pups the day prior and I could tell she really cared about their well being. She sent pictures with updates which made my trip that much easier not having to worry about the creatures. Will use her again if I ever have to fly out of town.”

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve regularly helped friends and family by feeding, walking, playing with, and providing daily care for their dogs, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also grown up with dogs my entire life, having my own since I was 5 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and individual personalities. I am currently a student at NC State University. When I am home for weekends and breaks, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I am dedicated to keeping your dog’s routine feel as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether this is through walks, playtime, feeding, and any other special instruction
About: I’ve had family dogs since I was born, and I can’t live without them! I’ve grown very passionate about training my dogs since 2020, and highly value promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle- especially involving physical/mental exercise, socialization, and healthy foods. As a full time nurse, I regularly practice patience, compassion, and consistent routines. I currently work as a full-time night shift RN. However I fit pet care into most of my day whenever I’m home: including morning and evening walks, mental stimulation, monthly vet visits to keep up with medications, socializing my dog at the park multiple times a week I currently live in an apartment with a large dog park to run off-leash. However I love long walks around neighborhoods as well and always try to find public dog parks. I also have a very loving and affectionate 1 year old pup who loves to play and keep others company
“Julia was fantastic! This was the first time I’ve had to leave my furbabies for a week and the trip was unplanned and I was so nervous. Julia sent pictures, updates, and dealt with me being a helicopter dog mom!”

About: My name is Megan and I would love to hang out with your dog! I live in an apartment in Surf City with a very active, friendly dog, so we get outside to exercise a LOT! We'd be so excited to have another dog to hang out with and go on adventures with! I work in the animal care field and have ample experience caring for a variety of dogs. I am happy to cater to whatever your pet needs, and any preferences you have for their care. I do work during the day but I am able to come home during the day to let dogs out, if need be. Your pet would need to be comfortable being alone (with my dog) for about 4 hours at a time. I'm happy to crate your dog, or separate the dogs into different rooms if needed. I work full time in Surf City, but I can run home during the work day to let out dogs, if needed. After work (about 4pm), I'll be home and can prioritize your dog and any attention they need. As an animal lover and someone who cares for animals as their full time job, I understand how important it is to keep your pet mentally stimulated, happy, comfortable, and healthy. I always listen closely to the owner to make sure I understand what is best for each individual pet before you entrust me with their care. I always make sure to communicate during the stay to keep you up to date with any issues or changes to the plan.
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds over the years, from small to big furry friends and can’t wait to meet your babies! I offer in home stays with weekday and weekend availability. I am flexible so just feel free to reach out and I will be more than happy to try and help you where you need it. I am more than happy to take your animals on walks, feed them, play with them or whatever they love to do. I am there for you and them so if there are specific request, just let me know!
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.
