“Katelyn is an answer to prayer for a dependable Dogsitter who works well with our shy, anxious dog. Yancy warmed up to her quickly and is happy when we greet her after being cared for by Katelyn. When we were between homes for a day, Katelyn graciously cared for Yancy, giving us peace of mind. We trust her to watch our pet anytime and highly recommend her!”

“Atina did a great job taking care of our pooch for Labor Day weekend. She sent several pictures and kept us updated as to what was going on. Will use her again when the need arises!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Hazel’s 8-day stay! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in caring, capable hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and was treated like part of the family rather than just another dog. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire stay, and every interaction was professional, friendly, and reassuring. Knowing we can leave Hazel with someone we completely trust is invaluable. We would recommend John without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. Hazel is already looking forward to her next visit, and we’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl!”

“If I had more than five stars I would gladly give Melissa more! This was our first time using Rover and our Lizzy’s first time overnight for a whole week with a stranger. Melissa was amazing from the start. Made sure Lizzy (and we) were comfortable there. She provided me with regular updates and pictures all week. She has a few sweet little dogs of her own and they became fast friends with Lizzy. She gave Lizzy free rein of her home, took her for walks and gave her lots and lots and lots of love!! I would hire Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Maria was so helpful and made us feel so welcome. Rocky and Hannah had a blast and it showed the next when we took them home and they slept all day.”

“Maddie and Granger were awesome! Chessie had such a good time and was exhausted when she got home—a good sign, for her! She even ate for Maddie, which is astonishing—she is sooo finicky! We got pictures and video and could definitely tell she was having fun. When she got home she curled up on the sofa and crashed. We can’t wait for her to go back!”
“My experience with Alicia & Van was amazing! They made Louie & me feel so welcome in their home, much like family. Louie will usually not eat much when I’m away but he was so comfortable that ate all of his food at each meal. Alicia & Van shared many many pictures and kept me informed at all times. When we experienced a delay in getting home due to traffic & weather, they were very understanding and even offered to keep Louie an extra night if needed. A truly wonderful experience and I will surely book with them again!!!”
“Bennett’s stay with Amanda was more than we expected. We are absolutely thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience with her as Bennett’s sitter. Bennett has never stayed with anyone other than family members, but that usually hasn’t gone as smoothly. She remained in contact with us through updates which was great and helped us worry less. She even managed to take some of the best holiday photos of Bennett next to her Christmas tree which we were amazed by. Amanda’s care was exceptional and loving. We look forward to using her again.”

“Shawna is absolutely amazing! I had a sitter suddenly be unavailable over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend when I was out of town. Shawna immediately offered her care for my diabetic senior kitty, Margo! She did an excellent job administering insulin. Especially with Margo having behavioral issues due to a severe arthritis flare-up, as I discovered upon taking her to the vet today. Margo was angry because she was in a lot of pain, upset I was gone, and wasn’t eating. Shawna worked with my brother to bring her comfort and get her the care she needed. I am very pleased with the quality of care Shawna provided!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Calabash
“Atina and Sean were very patient with our boys, our older one is very anxious and doesn't like to leave Mom too much. Atina made sure to reach out to me and let me know that Finnegan is adapting well and doing a great job settling in for the day! We would recommend them again to anyone.”
About: I have been a Yorkie, schnauzer or spaniel owner for years and just love the little furry family members. Currently Maggie May (my sweet rescue) and I love the opportunity to walk, keep and cuddle your "family member". I even make dog biscuits for the cutie pies if their owners give the okay. The safety and happiness of your dog is my primary concern. They will get a lot of love and the best possible care. Bottom line, I am an animal lover! I have been the go to person for my friends for years when they need a dog sitter or walker. I love having four legged friends as guests in my home. I work from home so am always available for the fur babies. Generally most of our furry friends love sitting in my office with me and checking out what is going on outside from the double window on the front wall. I have a fenced backyard and enjoy walking my Maggie May everyday. We enjoy playing together and just sitting ourside on the patio in the sunshine.
“Our pup had an incredible time today, all thanks to Arianna! She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and an amazing ability to connect with them. Our dog, Sandy, came home happy, tired, and clearly well-cared for. Arianna is a true gem, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner looking for top-notch care and a fun, safe environment. Five stars!”
“Kelly was wonderful! I made a last-minute daycare request just one day before drop-off, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She was kind, communicative, and took great care of my pup throughout the day. I especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Kelly again if I’m back in the Calabash area and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and accommodating sitter.”
“I was nervous about leaving Velma with a sitter for the first time, but it turned out great! Jennifer sent several updates throughout the day which put me at ease. Velma was happy and worn out when we got home.”
About: I treat my dogs like my children. My dogs are living with my ex husband and I want to share my love for dogs with yours. My biggest fear was a dog sitter would not recognize if my dog got sick while I was away. My vet does not believe in kennels and we have followed his advice. It makes me much happier knowing they are not in a concrete cage all day. I had been looking into opening a dog day care but this is more rewarding. I will treat your pet like my own. I am pretty much available 24/7 in my home. Your pet will have the run of my house. Your pet will be part of my one person family. It will be just me and your pet. No other dogs will be in the house. I only take in one dog at a time and have great references. I do Rover at my home in New Hampshire over the winter and CT over the summer and you can see my great reviews. Your pet will have the run of my house, and will cuddle on the couch with me and/or sleep on my bed. I will walk your pet personally.

About: What Sets Me Apart Your pet won’t just be “watched” here—they’ll be truly cared for like family. Because I work from home, your pet will have consistent, all-day attention, plenty of interaction, and lots of love. They’ll never feel alone or overlooked. I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs—from playful pups to more timid or senior pets who need a gentler touch. My home offers a large yard for safe play and fresh air, giving pets the space to run, explore, and enjoy themselves while staying in a secure, supervised environment. Most importantly, I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you’re away. You can expect regular updates, lots of affection, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in a calm, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I run a small in-home business, which means I’m home the majority of the day. Having furry friends here is truly a bonus to my routine—I love the extra company and all the snuggle time they bring! Throughout the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection, rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it’s relaxing nearby while I work, playing outside in the yard, or curling up for naps, your pet will be included in a calm, loving environment. Because I’m already home and active, your pet becomes a natural part of my day—not an afterthought. They’ll get plenty of interaction, supervision, and love. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your pet can relax and feel right at home. I’m currently in the process of having my yard fully fenced, and in the meantime, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Pets in my care enjoy a balance of playtime, rest, and affection throughout the day. I provide fun activities like outdoor play and even water play on warmer days for pets who enjoy it. Inside, there are plenty of cozy spots to nap, relax, and feel secure. With your approval, I love to offer treats and positive reinforcement to help pets feel happy and comfortable. I also include gentle pet massage and extra snuggle time, which many dogs absolutely love—it helps them relax and feel at ease while they’re away from home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe, cared for, and truly part of the family during their stay.

So if you don’t want them around other animals I can do this too.

“Amanda was GREAT!!! First time doing doggy daycare and I was highly satisfied. As I pulled into the driveway both her and her daughter was outside waiting on Luna.

About: I’ve owned large dogs my whole life and this struck a passion in me earlier on to get into the hobby of dog training. I got so good that people even began to ask me to help train their new puppies. Additionally, I also ran my own dog walking business throughout the last 4 years and now that I am graduated I would love to continue working with dogs while I save money for college! Currently, I am free all day every day until I start college in the spring. This leaves me with a completely open availability to help care for your beloved pets! I will follow the instructions given to me by each pet owner exactly as they would like. I treat each pup and kitty with kindness and patience always. With my dogs they are spoiled with lots of walks, treats, and lots of fetch to help them get out their energy and if your pup has some extra energy i’d love to play with them until they are content and tired out! I always make sure to message each pet owner when I arrive and when I leave to make sure they know their fur baby is in good hands!

About: Experienced, compassionate pet care based in Sunset Beach. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I have cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), and even farm animals. No pet is too big or too small—I genuinely love them all! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on pet care experience and currently work as a veterinary technician. I am experienced working with dogs of all sizes—from tiny puppies to 100+ lb adults and seniors—and I am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special medical needs. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and attention I give my own. What You Can Expect: - A knowledgeable, trustworthy sitter with veterinary experience - Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and needs - Dog walks & drop-in visits: photo/video updates, mail and package collection, and plant watering upon request - Pet & house sitting: mail/packages brought in, plants watered, and light household tasks if requested (additional fees may apply), ensuring you return to a happy pet and a well-kept home For the best experience, I prefer a meet-and-greet prior to bookings so I can meet you and your pets and learn their routine. This is required for pets that may be timid with strangers. Availability: I work full-time as a veterinary technician but am available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional midday visits possible within 6–7 miles of my workplace during my lunch break. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable, and professional pet care, I would love to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! This is my only job at the moment, so I have a very flexible schedule to help you out with your babies, big or small! *NO AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS* I will not look after any animal who may bite, and/or has bitten in the past. That is for my own safety, as well as keeping the animal out of stressful situations. This is also why I HIGHLY suggest a meeting before the service begins; for the pet(s) to meet me, and see if it will be a good match for everyone involved. I do not have any breed restrictions! All breeds are welcome! (Snakes/reptiles do not count towards this policy; I can take care of snakes/reptiles, knowing the possibility of a bite. I have had 3 snakes of my own, as well as plenty of experience taking care of & handling them when working at pet stores for over 5 years.)
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I have three cats of my own, including one with special needs, so I'm experienced with providing extra patience and medical care when needed. I also fostered for a dog rescue, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to senior dogs, anxious pups to confident companions, and those with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and always strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to planning my days around the needs of my own three cats, including one who requires extra attention, and I love creating a routine where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, meals, or extra cuddles, I enjoy making time for each pet’s individual needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s a part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is simple: keep them happy, comfortable, and feeling loved. I follow their normal routines, from meals and medications to walks, playtime, and cuddle time. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from confident pups to shy cats, energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience. Every pet gets personalized care, because they’re family, not just a booking.

They have given me so much love and affection over the years. Not to mention caring for them in the end which is the most difficult. I'm currently retired and having recently relocated to the area. I would be a great fit to care for your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My schedule is flexible and ready to be a pet giver to your fur baby.

“Drop off and pick up easy and flexible. Enjoyed photos and video of my fur babies. The babies seemed happy and healthy. They were exhausted which is always a good sign. I'd definitely use Danielle again.”
“Laura took great care of our high energy pup! He got along well with her pet and got in some great walks too. Great communication as well. We hope to use them again in the future. 5 stars!!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“If I had more than five stars I would gladly give Melissa more! This was our first time using Rover and our Lizzy’s first time overnight for a whole week with a stranger. Melissa was amazing from the start. Made sure Lizzy (and we) were comfortable there. She provided me with regular updates and pictures all week. She has a few sweet little dogs of her own and they became fast friends with Lizzy. She gave Lizzy free rein of her home, took her for walks and gave her lots and lots and lots of love!! I would hire Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
“Maddie and Granger were awesome! Chessie had such a good time and was exhausted when she got home—a good sign, for her! She even ate for Maddie, which is astonishing—she is sooo finicky! We got pictures and video and could definitely tell she was having fun. When she got home she curled up on the sofa and crashed. We can’t wait for her to go back!”
“Bennett’s stay with Amanda was more than we expected. We are absolutely thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience with her as Bennett’s sitter. Bennett has never stayed with anyone other than family members, but that usually hasn’t gone as smoothly. She remained in contact with us through updates which was great and helped us worry less. She even managed to take some of the best holiday photos of Bennett next to her Christmas tree which we were amazed by. Amanda’s care was exceptional and loving. We look forward to using her again.”

“Excellent!!! Very accomadating for any special needs of the customer and your pet. Oliver was well taken care of and given lots of love and attention. We will definitely have Oliver stay with this couple again when the need arrives.”
“Trina took wonderful care of our dog, Blossom! She sent lots of photos and updates and was very responsive. Her dogs also welcomed mine and they seemed to be good friends by the end of the stay. Blossom got walked daily, played in the fenced in back yard, and got lots of scratches and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home for their dog to stay!”
“Our dog, Cleo, spent 5 days and nights with Ilana and family and seems to have had a great time. She was able to maintain her usual habits (sleeping in bed with humans :-), lounging on furniture as she pleases, and sharing treats and food with anyone nearby) with an added bonus of a walk or two a day plus daily dog park visits! Who could ask for anything more! We received updates several times a day with pics and notes, and Ilana responded immediately any time i contacted her before or during. Ilana, her husband and dog seem to care very much about dogs and making guests' stays as fun and comfortable as possible! Happy to have found Ilana !”
“Amy was a wonderful dog sitter! I was so sad dropping the dogs off because we don’t normally leave them, but she kept us regularly updated and they seemed to have had a great time!”
“Craig was great!!! Quick responses, easy drop off and pick up, and sent us regular pupdates while we were on vacation 😊 Thank you so much again, and we'll be in touch next time we're going out of town!!”
“I just can’t say enough great things about Janice. Her daily posts about Archie and knowing that she sees and understands his personality makes leaving him a little easier. You can see him smile when she posts photos of him. She genuinely cares for him and he loves it there. Highly recommend Janice.”
