Personalized care for your dog or cat - Manteo
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Manteo
“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”
“She was awesome and super last minuite booking. My previous sitter back home bailed so i brought him to the beach, the house we stayed at wasnt super dog friendly so i reached out to gloria and she was willing to keep him for 3 days and the best part is he came back tired.”
“Michelle took great care of our pup! We have a 16-month old lab-mix with medium/high energy, and she kept her safe, active, and entertained. She was also flexible with our travel schedule which was massively helpful. Much more reasonable/affordable rates compared to other Rovers in the area. No idea how people justify $75 - $100+ nightly rates; seems outrageous, IMO. Anyways, not much more you can ask for or expect! Great experience all around. Will not hesitate to book with her again if/when the need arises.”
“Sara provided awesome care for Josie, our Moyen Poodle! She took her into her own home and together with Sara's two dogs they all got along very well. Josie got a lttle anxious one day and gnawed a little bit of door casing, Sara was very understanding and more concerned about Josie than the gnaw marks. We would recommend Sara for anyone looking for a caring, compassionate person to look after the dog they love! Respectfully, Gordon & Janet Galligan”
“Rose took really good care of our 3 year old beagle. She has a clean, well done place filled with animals and live. The dogs all get their own space and the ac kept the dogs really comfortable and cool. We will definitely use Rose for pet care again!!”
“Flannery is phenomenal! Rodi, my one year old Yorkie, wants attention and to play all day long. Flannery kept Rodi occupied with new experiences throughout Flannery’s daytime and evening activities. I’m grateful the dog was not left alone. The biggest compliment I can give Flannery is that when I picked the dog up, I barely got a greeting. This behavior tells me the dog had a wonderful time - without me! I highly recommend Flannery and if I need doggie daycare in the future I will certainly contact her. Thank you Flannery!”
“Sam was an excellent sitter for my dachshund. I received lots of updates (even from a creek!), and he seems to have had a lot of fun. I can tell he enjoyed staying with Sam and I will definitely bring him back :) 5 stars all around”

Cat caregivers near you - Manteo
About: I grew up in a home full of pets, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have years of hands-on experience walking dogs, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on making their time with me fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I am currently interning part-time in Manteo, so I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, and my schedule is open during all other days of the week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while always prioritizing their safety. I’m careful with leashes, aware of their surroundings, and attentive to each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with respect—keeping areas clean, refreshing food and water, and making sure pets are happy and relaxed before I leave. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Above all, I focus on patience, kindness, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
“Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of our kitties and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day, which we truly appreciated as self-proclaimed crazy cat parents! Knowing they were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also had a last-minute schedule change and Hannah was incredibly accommodating and so kind throughout the process. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah! 💖”
About: I’ve had cats growing up since I was a kid. I currently have 2. A young siamese and a senior tabby/ calico mix with 2 very different energy levels therefore giving me experience with both.
“Renee is great! My first time seeking a sitter as I went out of town and I will most definitely trust her to do it all over again in the future. She is reliable, respectful, communicative, trustworthy and most of all she is great with our dogs! 100/10 would recommend!”
“We came to vacation in Nags Head and needed a sitter for our young (and recently adopted) dog while we went to dinner. Meagan did a great job keeping her calm, took her out a few times and got her to eat (which we had also been struggling with). Would book again!”
“Michael was great! Rocco my pit bloodhound mixis a 51-pound 10 month old puppy with a lot of energy and a traumatic past and he does not warm up to everyone quickly. Michael helped him feel at ease with patience and confidence. He was, friendly, professional, on time, and communicated with me constantly with each visit. I work several times a year in the area. I will always contact him moving forward.”
“Ann took great care of my babies with a.m. and p.m. visits! When I returned from being away 10 days both cats appeared very happy and well taken care of. My home was in perfect order. I have a senior with medical needs (oral liquid) and Ann was up for the challenge. Ann sent pictures and updates for me daily which was a comfort to know and see that they were doing fine. Thank you, Ann! ♥ ? -Kim”
“Lauren is amazing! She took care of our two cats - Raja & Carmela - and house sat for a week while we were on a trip. She provided thorough updates throughout the day, and we are so grateful for the love and care she provided to our two cats. Thank You so much Lauren!”

“100 stars to Brandi for always taking such good care of my babies. I have hired her multiple times at this point, which I am grateful I was able to because she is in such high demand. I have a retired ex-racing greyhound who needs special care and a very sweet but very needy cat. I only feel comfortable leaving them with the best sitters and Brandi is really the best. She is responsible, loving, dependable, and very responsive. Also she takes the best pictures! Thank you again Brandi and I look forward to seeing you in the future!”

About: I currently have three cats! They are all very young and crazy. But I make it my priority to ensure they are happy, and healthy! I think too many cat parents take their pets for granted because of how independent cats can be, but I make sure everyday to let these idiots know that I love them very much. And my heart goes out to all of yours, too!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Manteo
“Nicole took fantastic care of Wilbur! We felt like he was in great hands beginning to end. He was the same happy little guy when we picked him up, and Nicole took some really cute pics of him looking happy and cozy in her care.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, we had labrador retrievers, where I helped with the day-to-day care, training, and even helped raise liters of puppies. I have volunteer at the local SPCA. In 2019, I adopted my dog, Gus. With Gus, I learned patience from having adopted a rescue. I continually work to make sure his life is better everyday, and will ensure I do the same for your fur baby. I regularily help dog sit for families & friends and would love to extend to others in the area. I work from home so can spend plenty of quality, 1:1 time with your dog. I am flexbile with walk & potty schedules. Available any day of the week. I live in a dog friendly apartment. There are multiple large grass areas in the complex that are great for potty breaks. The apartment is away from the main road. I have no roommates so your dog will have plenty of space to spread out all toys & beds.
About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
“Elizabeth was great and I am so thankful she kept my Delilah for the day, she kept me updated and sent tons of pictures throughout the day! I would book with her again anytime?”
“Mindy was so helpful with a last minute request! Our dog had so much fun playing with other dogs + an extra walk. Videos & pictures helped us feel super comfortable that he was having a good time.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“Outstanding! Truffles was spoiled by Rose on her beautiful farm! Rose was very responsive with her communication and was flexible with our needs. Highly recommend if you need a dog sitter in the OBX area!!”
About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

I had never used a dog care service like Rover but am glad the need came up. It was a positive experience. I will use again the future if the need arises.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!
About: Hi there! I have experience with pet-sitting a variety of animals that range from lizards to frogs, cats, fish, and dogs! I have been in situations of pet-sitting young and older dogs and am comfortable adapting to what they need. I believe animals bring us joy and it’s a gift to have them in our life so I am very loving! Please feel free to reach out and let me know what works for you as I am very flexible this school year. Have a wonderful day!! Thank you so much! Working part-time (12-5) and studying so I have a lot flexibility! Feel free to reach out and let me know what dates and times work for you! I make sure the animals and I get along together first and know all of their quirks. I respect whatever the animal needs and comfort them! Also love cuddling and giving them treats!

About: I walk my own 12 year old dog 3x a day and have walked dogs on work days for their owners as needed - I’d be happy to give your pooch a lunch time walk! I’m available for anyone who needs their dog to have a half hour lunchtime walk while they’re at their own 9 - 5, weekday job! I will keep your dog safe and secure, having them always on a leash and at the center of my attention when we are out for a walk!
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Once I was able to take care of one myself I got a yellow lab named Finn. I have experience with all dog breeds, including “bully breeds”. I do have a job, but I work mostly nights, and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can do drop-ins, walks, or stays in your home as my sweet boy is not dog friendly. As mentioned it will not be in my home, as my doggo isn’t dog friendly, but I am more than happy to follow any guidelines you wish me to adhere to.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and I love them so much. I truly believe each one is born a sweetheart, and each of them deserve the happiest life we can give them! Currently unemployed, so I am very flexible with my availability! I would be happy to come watch your pets for a couple hours/days, take them for walks, or just play and get their all of their energy out! Each pet has their unique personalities and needs and learning these are important when taking care of any animal! If your pet is a more independent soul, like my oldest cat, then it is good for me to know, so I don't upset them by getting in their personal space! Or if your pet has specific health issues and medicines, like my dog did, then I want to make sure I'm aware of it and can get them the help they need!
