About: We are an animal loving family who happens to not have any pets right now, so we are ready love on yours! We lost our Golden Retriever, Jack, when he was 12 years old a couple of years ago and the loss was so hard on our kids that we haven’t been able to jump back in fully, but we figure caring for other fur babies will be perfect in the meantime. We regularly care for relatives cats, dogs, and even chickens and reptiles. We are open to helping anyone and anything! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. Animals can hang with me while I do my work on my computer, or they are welcome to roam the home if they are able and prefer, whatever is best for them. My flexible schedule usually allows for as many potty breaks and walks as needed. My yard is not currently fully fenced, but I do have a 25 foot cable leash hookup in the ground in the backyard. We have no other pets in the home.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the past 5 years, we recently just added another dog to our family! I work a full-time remote job and have flexibility to be able to help you and your dog(s) out during the day. I do travel for work for a few weeks in the winter and I always have my availability up to date! I’ve also watched the dogs of my friends & family since I was in college - a little over 7 of experience! Don’t hesitate to book! I have a ton of flexibility with my remote job to be able to visit or walk your dog! I do well with time management. Pet care is part of my daily routine since my husband leaves the house for work. I’m mindful of keeping things that an be harmful to dogs off of floors/easy to reach spaces. I never leave our dogs outside for too long, especially in this heat! I will always leave your space as I found it and with your dog taken care of.

About: I’m a devoted dog mom and lifelong animal lover excited to start caring for pets in the Holly Ridge, Topsail, Hampstead, and Wilmington areas. I previously cared for dogs in the Washington, DC area, and I’m thrilled to bring that experience and passion to my new community. I provide personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, daily walks, energetic playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding routines, and even helping with basic training and reinforcing good behaviors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pup like my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I am therefore very flexible especially for boarding and pet sitting. I can also be flexible for walks and drop in's, although I do have a few meetings throughout the week I cannot miss. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 5 year old dog who is used to having other dogs in his home. We also have a dedicated dog room with a bed, light, fan, and water/food bowls. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for zoomies and live close to nice walking trails and the beach.


“We are so thankful for Holly and her help with Percy this week. She was super easy to communicate with and took lots of really great pictures! We will definitely be booking her again! Trusting people in your house and with your pets can be scary, but we trust Holly!”


About: With my experience of caring for my family’s small yorkies for the past 14 years, I say that my skills are mostly surrounded in the area of caring for older animals. Although in more recent years I have only had smaller pets, bigger pets are not out of range for me since I often care for my neighbors golden retrievers. I am a full time undergrad student who also works part time at a local brewery, although that may mean that my hours are limited, I often see pet sitting as luxury to help me connect with nature and take time out of my typical homework schedule. I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment for the pets whenever I am caring for them. This can include daily walks, regular feeding schedules, and ample playtime. I also prioritize cleanliness and do not mind brushing and bathing the animals to keep them clean and healthy

“I have already left one review but wanted to leave one more. Kasey helps us out (sometimes last minute) when I'm not feeling the best. This is the best Rover sitter around and highly recommend her! Happy we found her!”


About: I love all dogs and have mostly worked with medium to large breeds. I have six+ years of dog watching experience! My early experience was staying in-home with the dog for up to two weeks. I now provide mainly drop ins and dog walking. I am comfortable with watching up to three dogs at a time and can also help out with any additional pets you may have. I have experience with cats, rabbits, and rats. I try to maintain your schedule as much as possible to keep your dog’s routine in order! I am looking forward to meeting your dog and giving them just as much attention as you would if you were there! I recently moved back to the area and am available most weekdays and weekends. I’d love to help watch/walk your dog as needed! Please check my calendar for the most up to date information! I enjoy walking around neighborhoods and will give your dog plenty of time to take in the smells! I will reinforce any training you may be working on with your pup.

“Maddie is great! She walks Kirby and Rocco every week and is prompt, professional and very trustworthy. She always sends the rover card and pics and the pups love their walks with Maddie!”

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.
