“Suzanne and her husband took great care of our pup, even as he became ill. How much she cares is truly uncommon and so appreciated. I want to note how she even took care of our home, cleaning up after the sick pup. Maury looks forward to the next time Suzanne is coming over for a walk!”

About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!

I have cared for my own dog as well as neighbors’ dogs. I am currently living at home and overall have a wide open schedule, leaving lots of time for dog walks and play-time with any pets. I will always do my best to follow any specific rules or guidelines that a client may have for their dog and be respectful of their home environment.

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience volunteering at my local animal shelter two to three times a week. I regularly walk dogs, foster animals in my home, and transport animals to meet rescue organizations. Through volunteering and fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 *Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) course taken with Appalachian State University* I’m available on weekdays and some weekends.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have more than 15 years of experience caring for dogs through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering in shelters, and caring for other people’s pets. I currently have two Chihuahuas of my own, Tinky and Teddy, so I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has their own routine, temperament, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and happy to follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, medications, crate time, and sleeping arrangements. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates while in my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel confident that your baby is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I work remotely, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, including many evenings and weekends. Because I have two dogs of my own, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to adjust that routine based on your dog’s normal schedule and individual needs. I also enjoy taking relaxed neighborhood walks and spending plenty of time snuggling at home. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment in Surf City with my two small dogs. Visiting pets are always supervised, kept leashed outside, and given a calm space where they can settle in and feel comfortable. I can keep pets separated when needed for meals, rest, or a slower introduction. Before boarding, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, triggers, medical needs, and how they typically interact with other dogs. A meet-and-greet is always welcome so we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.
