Pet 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!

“So thankful that Hillary takes such good care of my two dogs. Always enjoy her report about the service and the pictures are reassuring that they are i. good hands!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience! Suzanne and rick they took such great care of our two dogs and treated them like their own. Every day we received pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos how happy and comfortable our dogs were. They were reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”

“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: 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.

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!

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.

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.”

About: Hi, I’m Silje! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, my family always had a bunch of animals, so taking care of them just feels natural to me. I’m pretty active and love going for walks or runs, and I’d be happy to bring your pup along for some fun and exercise. There’s a big dog park right in my apartment complex where lots of friendly dogs love to play, so your dog will have plenty of chances to socialize if that’s something they enjoy. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently working on my personal trainer certification online, so I’m home most of the day. The only time I might step out is to hit the gym for an hour or run a quick errand, but otherwise I’ll be around! I have a spacious apartment where your dog is welcome to cuddle up on the couch or hang out wherever they feel comfortable. If your fur baby isn’t into other dogs, no worries, I’m happy to stick to peaceful walks around the neighborhood or nearby trails. I’ll always do what’s best for your dog to make sure they feel safe and loved!!
