About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away

“I needed a sitter for Sophie Grace at the last minute for a very long event, and Christianna came through without hesitation. As a devoted dog mom, leaving Sophie is never easy. In fact, I was so emotional that I cried when I dropped her off. Christianna immediately reassured me that Sophie would be well cared for, and she was absolutely right. Throughout the day, she sent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Sophie was receiving plenty of love and attention. The true testament came at pickup. Sophie was excited to see me, but then turned around and went back to give Christianna more kisses through the window! That spoke volumes. Knowing that my baby felt safe, comfortable, and loved meant everything to me. I am beyond grateful for the care Christianna provided and would not hesitate to trust her with Sophie again. Highly recommend!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
“This family was great with my pomchi! They showed my puppy nothing but love and she loved them in return! I had to book with them last minute and they were okay with it and very flexible with their time and availability. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”

About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.

Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit. I service the local area (Camden, Shiloh, Elizabeth City, Currituck) with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work in Elizabeth City M-F from 5-1. For this reason I would recommend only sending a request if your animal is also used to being on a working schedule (left 8+ hours). I will supply visits before and after my working hours. We can discuss specifics based on your location. I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.
About: I currently have two young Lab pups who needs all the attention. I understand the needs of puppies but also of senior dogs. My parents had many dogs while I was growing up and I’ve learned how to fit every dogs needs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom so I will have plenty of time to care for all your animals needs! I am available during the week days, anytime. Your pet will be in very good hands. I think animals deserve nothing but love and attention from anyone who is looking after them. I have a black lab puppy myself and he is spoiled rotten to say the least.
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I am highly attentive to pets' needs. Am extremely patient and nurturing. I can adapt to various pet personalities. Experience with dogs, cats, and some exotic animals. I'm currently enrolled in online school part-time, so i'll have plenty of time to care for your pups. I'm available on weekends and weekdays with flexible times. I live in a safe, newly built community with plenty of walking paths and room to run around. I can easily take your pup on walks and dedicate hours of playtime or lounging on the couch with belly rubs.
About: I've taken care of animals wether they're mine or someone else's for as long as I can remember. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I communicate everything to make sure your pets are safe and happy! 🥰 My schedule is very flexible and I know our pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and low-stress experience in your home. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep litter areas clean, clean up accidents in case your pets get anxious when your away, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and happy. I treat every pet and animal like my own and respect their individual personalities, space and routine. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or independent, I provide patient care, attention, fresh food and water, litter maintenance, and updates/photos while you’re away. Between dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and even the little guys like hamsters and fish.
About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am usually available most week days and weekends ( except the ones marked off my calendar), for house sitting and drop in visits. I can walk your dogs and keep the house and yard picked up during my stays. I will spoil your pets with lots of love and attention Safety is always my first priority. I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
