About: Hi! I am 32 years old and I have been a groomer for 14 years. I owned my own grooming salon and sold the business to return back to college. I am Fear Free and AKC SAFE groomer certified which means I know how to handle animals safely and trained in animal behavior. I would love the opportunity to take care of your babies promising you they will be safe and loved! ❤️I also still groom small dogs under 40 lbs. If you are interested in a groom message me (: I attend college online at ECU so I am available any day or time. I do need a few hours a day to spend doing my school work, which won’t affect drop ins or walks, but if I’m house sitting I would do this work from your home (: I understand that every dog is different so I am very flexible on what kind of care you need for your pet. If you want a stroller walk for senior pets or a run for an active dog or if you simply just want me to play fetch in the house. You know what your babies need the best!

“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”

“Teddy & Mini had a blast! They had so much fun that they were sleeping on the drive home. Thank you Michelle for taking care of my babies like they were your own! Definitely recommend this sitter & will be booking again if we are ever in the area again!”

About: Lifelong Pet Lover & Dedicated Caregiver Pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently share my home with two cats, one dog, and pet turtles, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone they can trust while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your fur babies. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. From energetic puppies to independent cats—and even shelled friends—I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all kinds and making sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I am available for evenings, weekends, and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your pets when you need it most. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. My home has a fenced-in backyard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and supervised activities. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, communication, and making sure every pet feels happy and secure while in my care. I also send frequent pictures of your fur baby if desired.

About: I am dog CPR certified; I have experience working with an amazing dog day care. I can provide the name of the day care and references upon request. I am lucky to have an immense amount of experience with dogs. Growing up with two dogs as part of our family definitely enhanced my love for all dogs. Dog day cares require you to work with a wide range of dog personalities, and I feel equipped to work with all kinds of dogs. I work part time currently; therefore I have more open availability in my schedule to work with dogs. My schedule is flexible and governed by me. I love walking dogs and taking them to local parks. Learning about the owner's comfort level with their dog interacting with other dogs is always taken into account while walking their dog!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 20+ years. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I am pretty fit and walk a lot so I would be able to walk your furry friend around! I look forward to meeting you soon! Pet care and home care fits in with me and my daily routine perfectly I have been housesitting and pet sitting and love doing it. I work from home and would be able to take care of your home and your pets on short notice. I have a big yard and live in a very nice neighborhood where I can walk your dogs. I’m also very responsible and can come to your home as well.

“Great stay, very attentive and communicative”
