“Lara was great!! Moxie seemed to warm right up to her and her family. She kept me updated with pics and video. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for any doggy sleepover needs!!! Thanks again Lara!!!!”

“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!”

“Very loving and caring of my 2 fur babies! Great feedback and pictures of my dogs daily! I highly recommend Danielle and as a matter of fact, I have booked another boarding date!”

“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”

“I loved the stay with Yueqian. She sent me plenty of cute daily pictures, which helped a lot with my anxiety since this was my first stay for my dog. Kitty was healthy and happy when returned home. I cannot wait to continue booking with Yueqian.”

“Our dogs were well cared for and we felt so safe leaving them on our trip. Aunna was consistently communicating and sending photos of the pups. She is a wonderful sitter and we are grateful we found her.”

“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!”

“Laura and Elijah couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating with our last-minute booking and pretty high maintenance brand new, 11-week old puppy! They loved her and cared for her as if she was their own pup! We received many photos of walks on the beach and couch snuggles. We could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely rebook with this lovely active, animal-loving couple!”


“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!”

“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”

“Stephanie and Jared were wonderful with our 12 year old Yorkie Bichon! They sent updates often with pictures of Sunnie on walks and adventures and relaxing at their home. Sunnie looked comfortable and happy! We were away for 5 days across the country for our daughter’s wedding and never had to worry that Sunnie was being well-cared for! Sunnie had a sore paw that we noticed when I dropped her off and Stephanie kept me updated as it improved and soon Sunnie was back to taking long walks with them. I highly recommend Stephanie and Jared! They took excellent care of our “baby”. I will not hesitate to leave her with them again the next time we need care for Sunnie.”

“I could tell how much Aspen (Mini Aussie, 4) really enjoyed his 2 night stay with Robert. Aspen was immediately comfortable around Robert and his very well behaved King Charles dogs. The yard was fantastic as it allowed for him to play 10/10”

“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!”

“Harlie knows the minute she pulls into the neighborhood where she is and the excitement begins! She LOVES staying with Kaylah and her family and all the pictures that I receive during the stay show it! Thank you so much for carrying for our puppy girl the way you do!!”


“Taylor was a great sitter for our little girl Dottie! His whole family made her feel welcome and she fit right in. We will use him again when we need a sitter. I would not hesitate to put any dog with him and his family. We were a little afraid of putting Dottie (she can be a little aggressive sometimes) with their dog Charlie, but they got along great! Thanks Taylor, for a great experience!!”

“Kayla was great with our cat Gilbert who is normally very shy and hides. She spent the time and was able to get him to come out and made him feel more comfortable. We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter.”
“So lucky to have Dace! She checked on my fur baby everyday and made her feel so special! Thank you, Dace, you are great and I look forward to having you for more visits.”

“Cassie did a great job of keeping us updated on our pets while we were away! She provided a thorough update on their moods, health, and appetites, and took the best pictures! She even took the time to meet them beforehand and ensured we felt comfortable with her. If something looked off in the house, she advised us of that as well.

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.
“Arianna was amazing with our Winston! We were able to enjoy Ocean Isle without a worry about our boy.

“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.”
“Kayla is an amazing care giver. Such care and detailed updates. Complete with pictures. We had her watch Ivar, Saxon, and Peta. Very different dogs with very different needs. We are so thankful that we could go enjoy downtown Wilmington without a second thought of concern. We hope to visit again!”

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.
“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'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.
About: Hello I’m Rylie! I love all animals especially dogs! I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money. As your dog sitter I promise to take care of your furry kid like it was my own, I’m very open to learning new routines, and I have a very flexible schedule. Also, I happen to have six dogs of my own and am very passionate about my job as a dog sitter. I strongly believe that animals aren’t just a pet they are part of the family. I love going on runs around the neighborhood, playing in the back yard and going to the local park with the dogs I sit. I look forward to meeting you and you’re beautiful family! Thank you. Rylie

About: I have four cats and a german shepherd. I grew up having dogs and cats my whole life. I have raised kittens and bottle fed them and have experience with small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work full time monday- friday. I am available early mornings, I have an hour lunch break, and I am available after 3pm most days! I am free all day on the weekends. I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!
About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because my schedule is open and flexible. I can provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and playtime whenever needed. I care for pets like family. At my home, they enjoy my fenced in yard, playtime and attention. In clients homes, I follow rountines, give exercise and provide loving care.
About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.
About: I have always had dogs through my whole life and find that I naturally bond with them. All of my dogs through my life have been adopted. I have taken care of senior dogs with food allergies (gluten, and grain), hip dysplasia, and blindness. I have trained and have helped trained many puppies. I currently have two dogs as I always do, my youngest is 2 lily my ball of energy adopted at 1 year, and my Enzo he has Addison's and is on a daily medication, and monthly injection to stabilize his Addison's Disease. Enzo is 9 but a puppy at heart, he doesn't let his illness slow him down he was a beach dog I fell in love with while on vacation in the Barbados, he was estimated to be 4 at the time, I had a vet on the island quarantine and vet him (shots/neutering) and one month later I was back to get my love. We have been diagnosed and dealing with the Addison's for two years now and he couldn't be happier or healthier. I have boarded dogs in the past for about 10 years now, I also foster dogs in need of homes on occasion. I have no problem with puppy training, or senior care, I have dealt with food restrictions, medication administration, and physical limitations. No dog is to big, to small, to young, or to old for me. I am a stay at home mom, of one son whose 3 my dogs and I walk the trails behind my home daily, and a few times a week take an evening stroll on the beach. Aside from the grocery store or occasional errand I am home and with them all day. I have a very large back yard with three separate runners put out, for the dogs to hang out together, and go potty. We take daily walks for exercise, and no dog is ever left unattended outside. I have a big comfy sectional for there relaxation. I have no problem with separating to feed if your baby is more comfortable that way, I personally don't crate my dogs but have no problem if your dog is more comfortable crated at night, or while running an errand. I don't mind bathing, brushing or clipping nails at your request.

“Our dogs were well cared for and we felt so safe leaving them on our trip. Aunna was consistently communicating and sending photos of the pups. She is a wonderful sitter and we are grateful we found her.”

“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!”

“Laura and Elijah couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating with our last-minute booking and pretty high maintenance brand new, 11-week old puppy! They loved her and cared for her as if she was their own pup! We received many photos of walks on the beach and couch snuggles. We could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely rebook with this lovely active, animal-loving couple!”


“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!”

“Stephanie and Jared were wonderful with our 12 year old Yorkie Bichon! They sent updates often with pictures of Sunnie on walks and adventures and relaxing at their home. Sunnie looked comfortable and happy! We were away for 5 days across the country for our daughter’s wedding and never had to worry that Sunnie was being well-cared for! Sunnie had a sore paw that we noticed when I dropped her off and Stephanie kept me updated as it improved and soon Sunnie was back to taking long walks with them. I highly recommend Stephanie and Jared! They took excellent care of our “baby”. I will not hesitate to leave her with them again the next time we need care for Sunnie.”
