“I just want to say thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy. This was my first time ever doing something like this, (my baby is 10yrs old) leaving him with a stranger was very hard with to do. But Klairi after meeting you, I will book again! Thank you for making him feel like he was on vacation for the week. ESPECIALLY during the holidays was a true blessing! All the photos and great communication was a huge part in easing my mind throughout the time he was there. A message to everyone looking for a sitter I really recommend Klairi for your future booking. Thank you again!”
“She was amazing! definitely made me feel super comfortable about leaving my fur baby with her. She gave me a tour of where he would be staying and he was so excited. I only have him stay with my parents but didn’t want to drive 4 hours for that and she was just the best, can’t say enough great things. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Larissa and her family were amazing with Denver and Blu! They always looked so happy in the pictures and videos she would send and I love that she has a dog of her own that is super friendly! Already booked with her again! (:”
“Joseph and Destiny plus their pups were awesome! Friendly and took extra special care of our, not always perfectly behaved, fur baby! I will definitely be asking them to care for our pet again.”
“This was our second time booking with Aanchal, and it was a great experience again. She sent lots of pictures and videos. Biscuit came home happy and healthy. Thanks again, hope go see you again soon!”
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”
“Marcia is such an amazing dog sitter! She gives constant and continual updates during our sweet boy's stay with her. Both photos and videos! When youre away for a while, even in vacation, you think of your pets but whenever my mind would drift back home to Apollo I'd see Marcia sent me new photos of him playing with other dogs or lounging about with her. It was such a comfort. She truly loves what she does and she will be out go-to dog sitter from here on out!”
“Caitlin made me feel so safe leaving my Boston terrier for the day. She sent lots of pictures, took her on walks, and let her lay outside to get her daily sun bathing in:) couldn’t recommend someone better!”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years now and have gotten a good amount of experience. I am capable of handling all ages and have experience with special need cats and dogs. I also have experience with large aggressive dogs, dogs with excessive energy, and dogs that are very strong minded. I am not afraid of a challenge! I currently go to school, however I am free all of the rest of the day to spend time with your pet! this includes all day weekends and holidays I am very familiar with both cats and dogs as I have owned many in my life. I can work with both animals in early and late stages of life quite well. I have experience working with aggressive large dogs, and am not afraid of a strong willed pup.
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”
“Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.”
“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”

“Christina is great! ❤️ So happy my kitties give her lots of love when she comes for their visits. She sends lots of pictures to show me they are doing good and I can see that they are happy so I don't have to worry about them! 😻”
“Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”
“Sandy was absolutely fantastic with our cats! They were well cared for. She kept us updated and sent pictures. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing that our cats were safe and happy!”
“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Tabitha was very timely and attentive to our cat "Chi". We appreciated the daily check-ins and the pics posted on-line with Rover.com. Tabitha also took the the time for a "meet'n'greet" with Chi prior to the booking. Thank you!”
“Kaylie was awesome with Asher and Sadie. She had patiences with them as it was storming and they were hesitant to go out. But she took them out a few times after the rain let up a little and they finally did their business. She was on time and provided details and asked lots of questions.”
“We are repeat customers of Lexi and cannot imagine having anyone else watch our fur babies! One of our dogs had a tough time this stay and Lexi is exactly who you want to love and care for your dog in their time of need when you cannot be there. Incredibly communicative and very personable, Lexi loves our fur babies the way she does her own and we love her for it!”
“Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for cats and find great joy from accompanying them! Previously working at a pet resort educated myself on how to accommodate each unique cat with all their special needs.
About: Hello! I am Adeline! I am a local so I know there area pretty well! I’ve been working in the animal world for nearly 4 years and am Vet assistant certified. I have since left the field but want to stay in close contact with furry faces! If I do not have availability for the time you need I can refer Zoey Robinette who is also a reliable pet sitter and has sat my babies many times, please reach out to her right here on Rover should you need services I am currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday and have most availability on weekends if overnights are needed. Although I am flexible and do still offer overnight stays during the week depending on distance! I have a few hours in the morning to be able to accomplish any care the fur babies will need in the morning but afternoon drop offs do work the best during the week! I also am not limited to just pets when drop offs are needed! My own fur babies at home are always very well taken care of, happy and healthy. I would treat your furry family with the most respect, care and compassion as I would my own!
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion who respects their space, I'm happy to provide the care they need while you're away. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, so caring for animals is both my profession and my passion. My veterinary training allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, and I'm comfortable caring for senior cats, kittens, and those with special medical needs. My goal is to keep your cat's routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

You can expect: 🐈 Calm, patient care tailored to your cat's personality 📸 Plenty of photos and updates after every visit 💊 Comfortable administering most oral medications and other routine care 🧶 Playtime, brushing, or simply quiet companionship ❤️ Respect for your cat's routine and home environment I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else's care. I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure you can relax knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I can't wait to meet you and your feline family!

“My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!”
“Highly recommend Kylie for doggie daycare. I sent my little Bean there as he didn’t have much experience with other dogs. And she has worked with him to get him more comfy. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving my baby under her care.”
About: I been around animals my whole life. I work from home and can be available for all your pet needs. I have a large fenced in back yard! I work from home and hardly ever leave the house during the day. I take breaks throughout my work day to play in the yard with my dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I like play time in the back yard and walks around the neighborhood with the dogs.

I will definitely be using her for all of my dogs daycare services.i will definitely be recommending others to try her services. Plus the photos she took of my dog was so wonderful I had to get it printed for the house.”
“Addison did a fantastic job with Scout. She provided top-notch care, communicated well, and sent plenty of updates throughout the stay. It’s obvious that she makes visiting pets feel safe and comfortable. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her hands and will definitely use her services again!”
“Jasper came home from Michelle’s daycare clean, happy and exhausted. Michelle kept me updated with all the details and was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend Michelle’s service to all dog parents out there, she always has a tastefully designed home that is also dog friendly.”
“Meg was very sweet to us and my doggie. We appreciate she was able to accommodate us while we were in town. She sent really cute pics and kept us updated. Her dogs were great dogs, too. We recommend!”
About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Kali. I’ve grown up around animals and have dogs of my own, so I understand how much love and care pets need. I’ve also taken care of cats and dogs for friends and families in their homes. Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, or quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to treat every pet like my own! 🐶🐱❤️ Free for overnight stays or whatever needs you have. I live in Fairfield Harbor and am willing to travel into New Bern if needed. I hope to give you peace of mind ! I love caring for pets and always make safety my top priority. I double-check leashes, gates, and routines so your pets stay happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. ❤️
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.
About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).
About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.

“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”
“Amazing! 😻. Early walk made it work for both of our schedules. Belle and Moose love her! She walked them almost two miles this morning at 5:30 am. Woo hoo! Great way to start the weekend!!”
“Very responsive and super friendly! Suzanne saved us while on vacation to walk our dog while we were exploring the area. Our dog was very grateful for the break out of the house. Would definitely use her again when we come back.”
About: I am currently a vet assistant and in school to earn my degree in Veterinary Technology! I have a black lab and a DMH cat. I have a lot of experience working with animals and would love to get to know yours! I currently work full time as a vet assistant! I am off every Saturday and Sunday and available after 12 on Mondays! If you need me after 5 during the week days, I can make that work as well! I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home, but I will be happy to follow any instruction that you have for your animal in your home. I have experience with puppies as well so I don't mind cleaning any mess that may occur.
About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12! I also have 3 of my own fur babies! I enjoy meeting new pets and family’s! Pet care fits into my life perfectly. I have three of my own dogs that I help care for as well as a dog in my nanny family! I do well with putting dogs in their kennels, short walks and the occasional afternoon hang out! With my mini years of pet experience, I feel inclined to help every family!
About: Ive taken care of and loved dogs since I was very young. I’ve fostered dogs and helped train them as well as taken good care of senior dogs. If you will have me take care of your dog expect lots of funny pictures of your furry friend. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog and am willing to stay overnight as well if needed. I will walk your dog and take them to the beach or on other fun adventures with me. I will make sure that they enjoy their time with me.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.
“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.
About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.

Our goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were our own and provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.
About: Pets, specifically dogs, have been a part of my family since I was born. Love all animals and care for them deeply. Currently, I have 2 dogs and a cat. All my children! Even have tattoos of them to honor each one! In late 2022, I helped my 1st dog, Pearl, cross the Rainbow Bridge after 16 and a half years together. Want to honor her by helping others❤️🐕🐈 Currently looking to make this my primary means of income. I want to make animals my priority! Willing to play, walk, feed, yes...even BATHE your dog (not cat...ha ha) if needed! Potty breaks can be 5 minutes or an hour! Playtime, walks, cuddles, lunch/dinner, naps can all be included! Willing to make your pet MY priority!
About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.
About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.

“I just want to say thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy. This was my first time ever doing something like this, (my baby is 10yrs old) leaving him with a stranger was very hard with to do. But Klairi after meeting you, I will book again! Thank you for making him feel like he was on vacation for the week. ESPECIALLY during the holidays was a true blessing! All the photos and great communication was a huge part in easing my mind throughout the time he was there. A message to everyone looking for a sitter I really recommend Klairi for your future booking. Thank you again!”
“Larissa and her family were amazing with Denver and Blu! They always looked so happy in the pictures and videos she would send and I love that she has a dog of her own that is super friendly! Already booked with her again! (:”
“Joseph and Destiny plus their pups were awesome! Friendly and took extra special care of our, not always perfectly behaved, fur baby! I will definitely be asking them to care for our pet again.”
“This was our second time booking with Aanchal, and it was a great experience again. She sent lots of pictures and videos. Biscuit came home happy and healthy. Thanks again, hope go see you again soon!”
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”
“Marcia is such an amazing dog sitter! She gives constant and continual updates during our sweet boy's stay with her. Both photos and videos! When youre away for a while, even in vacation, you think of your pets but whenever my mind would drift back home to Apollo I'd see Marcia sent me new photos of him playing with other dogs or lounging about with her. It was such a comfort. She truly loves what she does and she will be out go-to dog sitter from here on out!”
“Caitlin made me feel so safe leaving my Boston terrier for the day. She sent lots of pictures, took her on walks, and let her lay outside to get her daily sun bathing in:) couldn’t recommend someone better!”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years now and have gotten a good amount of experience. I am capable of handling all ages and have experience with special need cats and dogs. I also have experience with large aggressive dogs, dogs with excessive energy, and dogs that are very strong minded. I am not afraid of a challenge! I currently go to school, however I am free all of the rest of the day to spend time with your pet! this includes all day weekends and holidays I am very familiar with both cats and dogs as I have owned many in my life. I can work with both animals in early and late stages of life quite well. I have experience working with aggressive large dogs, and am not afraid of a strong willed pup.
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”
“Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.”
“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.”
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
About: With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’m here to give your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. I started pet sitting and dog walking back in middle school and never stopped—it’s truly a passion of mine! I’m patient, active, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My dog, who passed away a few years back, was a trained service animal and the sweetest boy. Whether your pet is shy or full of energy, I’m here to meet them where they are and make them feel right at home. I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule so I have time to dedicate to your pups and kitties! I can typically accommodate last minute bookings. As stated prior, my dog (who has now passed) was a service dog and went through safety training. I learned a lot throughout that course about pet handling and care. I am active and fit and can work with with animals from the smallest of kittens to the largest of pups!
