Cat Sitting in Topsail Beach

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have some vet experience, and have house sat for many friends. I am very patient with dogs and cats. I treat any animal as my own and have personal training experience with my dog as well. I am currently working part time and have a lot of time during the week and weekends to play with your fur babies to give you a piece of mind! Unfortunately I have 3 animals at home so I am not able to have animals at home :( I love dogs and cats and want to help anyone who may not have as much time to get out with their fur babies or for those that just need a breather!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.

“Maddie is great! She did drop-in visits with our 12yo pup and made sure to send photos each day. We appreciated her flexibility to do a meet and greet prior to the booking as well. 5 stars!”

About: Hi everyone! I’m Andrea, a responsible and compassionate animal lover who truly treats every pet like family. Since a young age I have worked at local animal shelters, worked with nonprofit organizations, and pet-sitted/boarded all over the country. I have experience caring for dogs (and cats!) of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m especially attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’ve also got an extremely friendly australian shepherd myself if anyone ever needs another fur buddy to help run off some energy. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same care and attention I give my own ◡̈ My schedule is wide open at the moment! I stay at home with my own pup and would love to help out with yours ◡̈ I will give your pet all the love in the world as if they were my own and create a safe and trusted space for them!

“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: I’ve been taking care of not only my pets but my neighbors pets since I was around 9 or 10. I love being able to play with them no matter how big or small. I also love giving dogs baths because who doesn’t like a clean smelling dog. Currently I am in college so I can’t work Monday's or Wednesday’s but I am available at most times these days excluding Tuesday and Thursday mornings though I am free after 12:30. I am willing to do almost any service that is wanted whether that’s playing with the pet, bathing it, walking it, or even just spending time with it.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, fostered puppies, and love helping others by providing attentive, caring pet sitting filled with cuddles, playtime, and long walks. I As a part-time interpreter and mom, I’ve built a schedule that’s both flexible and dependable, perfect for providing consistent, attentive pet care. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities with care and precision, and I bring that same level of dedication to every pet I look after. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, or walks, you can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I treat every pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll visit at the agreed-upon times to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment while giving them lots of companionship. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications or special care needs. During each visit, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Grace did a great job with Piper. Even when I dropped the ball on communication, she was patient and flexible with me. Would definitely recommend her!”

“We absolutely are very satisfied with Makayla! She leaves notes for us as well as pics of Tucker! She really gets the whole missing our puppy during the day. Tucker is happy with her too!”

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was little. Friends and family have also asked me to check in on their dogs for food/water, walks, and other general needs, when out of town. I have full time availability to take care of all your pet or house sitting needs. I’m available 7 days a week for sitting, walks, and more, just reach out! Your pets safety is my number one priority. I always ensure pets are supervised at all times, as well as proper safety when out on walks and more.

About: I am filled with patience, love and care. One of my joys is working with any fur baby to make sure they’re safe and happy when there owner is away, making sure they stay on their normal routine as best to my ability and what is required of me. I currently don’t have a job and I love any fur baby so I have full time to help with yours and make sure they’re safe and taken care of. I have a fenced backyard, training with dog sitting, flexible hours and can follow instructions. I will make sure they are fed, exercised, and meet the client’s needs.

“Always very reliable, she takes good care of our pets and I know they will be happy and healthy when I return from any trips.”

“Leah was absolutely amazing! She spent 45 mins getting to know our 3 pups and myself during our meet and greet and I instantly knew that she was going to give them so much love. We have 2,4,and 8 yr old dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention and checked in frequently with us. The pictures were some of the cutest we’ve seen of them. The updates were extra detailed and she even helped out with our trash bins which we’d forgotten when leaving out of town. We will definitely rebook Leah any time we head out of town!”

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

“Great sitter! Very professional. My cat loved her. Madison kept me up to date on him while I was traveling. Super friendly and easy to work with. Thanks!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born! I have cared for many neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s pets. I hope to help you with yours! I’m currently working full time Tuesday through Friday until 3pm as a dental hygienist. I am available for care after work and on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and any holidays. I have a house with a yard that is not fenced in yet, but I have plans to get a fence in the future. There is still plenty of yard for your pup to run around outside.

“Susan was AWESOME! My pups had such a good time playing and they were so happy! They got lots of treats and love. Susan was right on time every time and my pups love her. We'll definitely call her when we need a drop-in caregiver! ??”
