“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea updated me everyday about my pup and did an awesome just exercising him and letting him have fun! She was very flexible when I had a few last minute drop off/pick up time and date changes which greatly eased my stress. I will definitely book with her again next time I need a sitter in the New Bern area!”
“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! (:”
“I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!”

“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!”

“Jordan was easy to work with in coordinating pick-up times and she did a great job taking care of Baxter. He's pretty much a one-on-one little guy and generally misses me a lot when I'm gone and is excessively happy and hyper for a bit upon my return. Baxter was happy when I returned, and much calmer and relaxed than usual. He obviously bonded with Jordan in a good way and it was noticeable that he missed her for a few days. I highly recommend Jordan.”
“Catrina took excellent care of my medically complex pup for an extended period of time. I couldn't be more grateful for the care, love, and attention she provided my dog while juggling her own family of pets! She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️”

“Serena was amazing with Chanel this weekend! The updates and photos were fantastic, and I never had to wonder how things were going while we were away. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she watches. She made sure Chanel got plenty of attention and even spent time loving on my cats too. Coming home to happy pets is the best feeling, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Hailey did a great job taking care of my cat. It was my first time leaving her. Hailey kept me updated on how the drop in visits were going and sent pictures daily. Would highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was very pleasant to work with. She was very personable with my 2 cats, especially with my younger male adopted as a stray. He is very timid and runs from strangers, but he let her pet as shown by the many pictures she posted. I will definitely book her again.”
“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.”

“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!”
“When my AC broke in the middle of the night, I had to find last-minute daycare for my dog. I sent Clayton a message at 4 in the morning for a 730 drop off, and he replied and accepted my request within 5 mins. My dog is almost 13 and has been nervous around other dogs ever since he was attacked a few years ago. I was really hesitant about leaving him somewhere new, but Clayton’s reviews gave me confidence. And when we arrived, my dog walked in calmly and didn’t seem scared at all even with other dogs around. Clayton’s own dogs were so gentle and sweet, and mine quickly made a new best friend. Clayton stayed in touch throughout the day and sent lots of photos. My dog looked relaxed, happy, and like he was truly having fun. You can tell Clayton genuinely cares and treats your pets like his own. I won’t trust anyone else with my dog from now on.”
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've volunteered for colonial capital humane society, I have taken a Veterinary Technician class, and did my clinical hours at Jill's pet resort. So overall I have plenty of experience with animals because I also have lived with them. I am off all day Monday through Wednesday. Wednesday is up until 9 pm. And the rest of the week I'm off for the daytime till 9 pm. I will mostly try to take care of pets outside of my home. Such as walking or pet sitting for other people. Because there are enough animals in the house I live in
About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!
About: Growing up we always had lots of dogs, cats, and even livestock. For many years we had over 7 dogs to which i cared for at one time. including a recent puppy that we purchased and have since potty-trained and trained to do things like retrieving I currently am enrolled at a local community college so my schedule is pretty open on days except Mondays and Wednesdays which are pretty much free after 3pm. I love to play with dogs and cats. Especially taking them out to get exercise wether that be walking, throwing the ball, or even just playing with toys as I am a very active person myself. So very many "potty breaks" will be taken to ensure your home stays clean!
About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. My focus is always on creating a stress- free experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home so, my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning walks, evening visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pets routine exactly as you outline - from feeding, walks, household rules - so we all feel comfortable and secure. If caring for your pets in my home, they’ll have a family of two cats and a dog plus my animal whisperer husband (and my step daughter july-august) to love on them. Clear communication is important to me so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.

Can’t wait to meet your pup(s) and form a relationship to make them feel comfortable while you’re gone! My lifestyle being an SAHM and a military spouse gives me the flexibility to meet your drop in needs. 6am-5pm my son will be with me (who loves dogs!) and anytime after 5pm it will be just me.

I adjust my sitting based on their behavior, I can be sweet if they need love, and I can be stern if they need structure.

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!”
“Andrea updated me everyday about my pup and did an awesome just exercising him and letting him have fun! She was very flexible when I had a few last minute drop off/pick up time and date changes which greatly eased my stress. I will definitely book with her again next time I need a sitter in the New Bern area!”
“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! (:”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Jordan was easy to work with in coordinating pick-up times and she did a great job taking care of Baxter. He's pretty much a one-on-one little guy and generally misses me a lot when I'm gone and is excessively happy and hyper for a bit upon my return. Baxter was happy when I returned, and much calmer and relaxed than usual. He obviously bonded with Jordan in a good way and it was noticeable that he missed her for a few days. I highly recommend Jordan.”
“Catrina took excellent care of my medically complex pup for an extended period of time. I couldn't be more grateful for the care, love, and attention she provided my dog while juggling her own family of pets! She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me photos and videos regularly throughout her stay. Catrina was a godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future! ❤️”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
