“We were very happy that Julie could take good care of Pumpkin. Julie sent us a picture while we were away for the weekend and she provided a thorough report when we picked Pumpkin up. We would call on Julie again.”
“Took great care of my dog, and sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing! Felt super comfortable leaving her there even tho we didn’t get a chance to meet before we dropped daisy off.”
“Thank you, James, for taking care of my precious Oreo at the last minute. He kept sending me pictures of my dog. I had no problem leaving her with him, and I hope to use James's services again in the future. He has a great environment for pet care and a large yard for them to play and run around in.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Heather was amazing! I don’t use a pet sitter often so I was a little nervous but Heather was excellent with communicating during the stay and made me feel at ease. Liberty loved playing with Gherkin and Gunnar (heather’s dogs) and did not want to leave! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent lots of videos and pictures and text updates during the stay.”
“We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!”
About: My late dog Casey (d. May 2026) was dog-reactive, and I found out firsthand how hard it is to find a dogsitter without any personal pets or other clients in the home for dogs like her when I travel. I always had at least one dog and cat in the home growing up, but Casey taught me how to set animals up for success by accepting them as they are and adjusting to their needs-- medical, emotional, and physical. For dog boarding, I would like to use my house and fenced-in yard to give other pets a quiet respite when their owners need to travel-- walks, naps, and play included-- and give owners the peace of mind that their pet is somewhere comfortable and safe when they are away. I sanitize and clean my house thoroughly after each pet's visit and pick up the dog poops from my yard to reduce any illness spread between dogs. For housesitting, I would treat your pet and house as I would want my own to be treated if a sitter stayed-- as it was left if not cleaner. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention. Any errand outside of the house I need to run is less than an hour. I will take cues from your pet and your directions on how to occupy your pet's day. On weekdays, I work a 8-to-4 job with flexibility. I typically wake at 6:30AM, return around noon to check on pets + give attention/walk, and stay home after work. Depending on your pet's needs, we can burn off energy or unwind together before I ensure that your pet is settled in for the night with my bedroom door open for nighttime access. As someone whose late dog who had medical and social needs, I will follow your care instructions for your pet in activities, mealtimes, and other concerns, along with medicine administration if needed. I will not be leaving your pet alone in the yard; your pet will be kept indoor in A/C with access to the living room and kitchen during weekdays. Please plan to bring some of your pet's comfort items (toys and treats) along with their necessities to ensure they have something from home for boarding. For new clients boarding in my home, I would ask that you are present for at least fifteen minutes when dropping off your pet to allow acclimation to the space and association with me as someone positive while you and I review care instructions for your pet. If meeting in the home is not possible for boarding, a time for your pet to meet me in a Meet & Greet is essential ahead of time. I want your pet's initial time with me to be as stress-free as possible.
“This is our second time using Flora. Lots of pictures and videos. The dogs were so loved while they were there! She is a great communicator and was flexible with a change in plans. We are hoping we get to use her one more time while we are in the area!”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“Maria was excellent with my puppy Coco. Coco seemed to had a lot of fun playing with her and didn't miss me at all. She regularly sent me pics and videos of coco playing which was very assuring. I would definitely recommend her to my friends too if they are going away and need someone to take care of their dogs. Thanks Maria for taking such good care of Coco :)”
About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.

“Sydney was amazing with communication, and I could tell my cat enjoyed spending time with her. If anything she spoiled my cat she did such a good job. Will be booking again if needed.”
“Katie was able to accommodate our boy Salem on short notice. Gave us an update on how he was doing and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Our cat doesn’t get along well with other cats and she was able to accommodate that for him. Thanks again for watching Salem!”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand cats thrive on routine and feel most comfortable in their own environment. I provide an attentive care including feeding, freshwater, litter, box cleaning, playtime, and lots of cuddles (on their own terms!). I’m patient, respectful of shy kitties, and always take the time to build trust. Whether your cat is social and playful or quiet and independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe happy and we cared for while you’re away.
About: I've always wanted a cat, but my parents are allergic, so I never had one growing up. Now that I'm on my own, I adopted a 2 month old kitten I found as a stray. She is now almost one year old and the most energetic thing in my life. This past year has been nothing but learning about how to best entertain a young cat. I'm very attentive to her, and take everything as a lesson. I hope I can learn from your cat too!
“Karen took such great care of our cat, Jack! Even from the meet and greet, she was patient and respectful of his boundaries as he’s hesitant to warm up to new people. She checked in before the drop in visits started and was super communicative. We loved looking at all the photos she'd take each visit and reading the detailed notes. We knew Jack was in excellent hands and won’t hesitate to have Karen care for Jack again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.
“Stephen did a great job at keeping us informed everyday. All seemed to go well. Unfortunately, my boys are not social at all and hid from Steve every time he came over. So Steve never got to bond with my boys. They were fed and the litter box was cleaned. My house was in order when we got home. Steve is my new go to sitter!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I work part-time at Dunkin as my main source of income. Unfortunately, my schedule for work is often given to me with short notice so it is hard to know what days I do/don’t work. I do generally work 7:00am to 12:00-12:30pm as a general frame of reference. While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).
About: I have been bringing home and taking in animals ever since 2010 when I was in 5th grade. I have always put a lot of time, patience, love, sweat and money into my own animals. I try to give my babies the best quality of life that I can provide and I intend to do the same while yours are in my care! I have a tremendous amount of love & respect for all animals. I also have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds because I've had numerous dogs, a cat & a leopard gecko. Some duties I can help assist with include potty training, walking, teaching training commands & any senior/special needs care. If needed I can administer oral liquid medications, as well as pills and I can change diapers too. I am a stay at home dog mommy and I run a small business as well. So I generally have a lot of time, love & space to offer at my house throughout the week for guests. I'd love to take care of your babies or walk them to help you out with your busy schedule! !!!NEW DAYCARE INQUIRIES PLEASE READ!!! :) DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS IVE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DAYCARE HOURS THEY ARE NOW FROM 8AM-8PM. **My base rate of $35/day ensures your baby with up to 12 hours per day in my care!

I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, needs, and personality, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Anna has been nothing short of incredible. We are travel nurses and work long days so we needed somebody to play with and walk our black lab and golden doodle. Anna never missed an appointment and always worked with us when we gave her short notice and the dogs were always tired when we got home and happy in the photos. When we would go out of town Anna was responsive and always with our dogs and sent photos of them. Not only were they well cared for but so was our house. Anna would go above and beyond and clean her sheets and towels and even sweep in the house so we would come home to a clean home. If we ever come back to Greenville Anna would be our first call for the dogs and she should be yours too.”

“This was my first time using Rover, I am so glad I found Britney! She went above and beyond to make sure my home and 3 cats were well taken care of while I was gone on a trip. I received lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and my cats loved her, even the shy ones were loving on her!”
About: I’ve always taken care of animals from a very young age. Whether it be pets of my own, relatives, or friends I will treat your baby as they are one of mine :) I’ve cared for dogs both big and small and also those of the feline persuasion.

“Juli is great, and there’s no other person I’d trust more with my dog! Although pippin gets anxious when I leave, she always gets excited when we pull up to Juli’s house!”
“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I require that they are in a crate or in a kennel at night.
“Sadie hasn’t been to daycare (or boarded) for about 2 1/2 years, but Alexandria put us both at ease. Her pups are adorable and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself! We’ll be back!”

About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.
About: I know how to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is the trust I build not only with pets but with their people. I provide daily updates, adorable photos, and peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering some extra love and belly rubs, I treat every pet like my own. This isn’t just a job, it's a loving passion! Pet care fits into my week really naturally. I'm in school with an easy schedule, so I’ve got the time that makes it easy to fit in morning walks, afternoon visits, or whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s dropping in to feed and play, going for a walk, or just keeping them company, I plan my day around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Honestly, spending time with animals is the best part of my day—it never feels like a chore!! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my home, I keep things calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to their normal routines as much as I can—meals, walks, and bedtime, so it feels familiar to them. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure their pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any instructions closely and always leave the place just as I found it, if not better!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles.

About: I have a passion for animals and have been working with them for many years. Growing up on a large farm in upstate New York, I was exposed to a wide range of pets and farm animals. After years of working on the farm and caring for various animals, I realized that my passion was in providing care and love for pets. I decided to start my own petsitting business to offer the best possible care for your furry family members while you are away. I offer a variety of services, including housesitting, drop-ins, and walks. Whether you need someone to stay with your pets overnight or just check in on them during the day, I am happy to accommodate your needs. I understand that each pet has its unique personality and needs, and I tailor my services to meet those needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and reliable petsitter. You can rest assured that your pets will be in good hands with me. I take pride in providing high-quality care for each pet that I look after. Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Petsitting is what I do on a daily basis. I take priority into providing my services, and I am very flexible with making sure I can do so 🙂 When I care for your animals in your home, I treat your home, and your animals like my own. I go about it the same as I would with my animals in my home. Potty breaks or walks every 2 hours (or 1 hour for puppies and senoirs). Clean up any accidents right away, and follow the feeding schedule you provide.

“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”
About: I have worked with animals all my life with all kinds of animals. I love to be around them. I am also going to nc state studying in animal science.

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
About: I have been bringing home and taking in animals ever since 2010 when I was in 5th grade. I have always put a lot of time, patience, love, sweat and money into my own animals. I try to give my babies the best quality of life that I can provide and I intend to do the same while yours are in my care! I have a tremendous amount of love & respect for all animals. I also have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds because I've had numerous dogs, a cat & a leopard gecko. Some duties I can help assist with include potty training, walking, teaching training commands & any senior/special needs care. If needed I can administer oral liquid medications, as well as pills and I can change diapers too. I am a stay at home dog mommy and I run a small business as well. So I generally have a lot of time, love & space to offer at my house throughout the week for guests. I'd love to take care of your babies or walk them to help you out with your busy schedule! !!!NEW DAYCARE INQUIRIES PLEASE READ!!! :) DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS IVE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DAYCARE HOURS THEY ARE NOW FROM 8AM-8PM. **My base rate of $35/day ensures your baby with up to 12 hours per day in my care!

“She’s great!! She came and met my dog before the walk date for free and was so sweet. My very nervous/ skittish dog loved her immediately. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job. 10/10 recommend”
About: I have two fur babies who are my whole world. I’ve dealt with extensive health issues with my girls that have equipped me to handle any range of crisis with care and compassion. I love animals with my whole heart. Trusting me with your babies means they will be loved and taken care of until they get to reunite with you! I’m currently a student so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry friends! My animals are my world and I know that if you’re reaching out to me, yours are your world also! This means they will receive the same attention and prioritization that my own girls get in daily life. I want to work with you to determine how to take care of your babies. Each dog is unique so I take a specialized approach to make sure that yours gets the attention they deserve! I have a reactive dog at home, as well as experience with a wide range of medical issues, so I’m equipped for special circumstances with dogs.
“Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!”
About: Pets are the absolute best. I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs, watched my neighbors dogs and have 2 dogs of my own. As a school teacher, I'm off for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your beloved pet. I'll always treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own. I'll follow your pet's feeding, walking, medication, and potty routines, and I'll send photo updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’m always grateful when family and friends rely on me to watch their pets. It’s wonderful to be able to be there for them. My day tends to rely on what my two dogs need at home. Pet care tends to plan my day for me. I’m home from college and am not working so I am almost always available for anything your pets may need! The pets I watch always have my full attention and are given anything they may need. I make an effort to prioritize their needs and wants.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Labs and a Cocker Spaniel, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've also stayed at multiple families' homes to care for their dogs while they were away, so I'm experienced with keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. My Cocker Spaniel takes daily medication for stomach issues, so I'm confident giving medications and following care routines. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping your dog company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently home from college for the summer and only work 1–2 days a week as a lifeguard, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work around their routine! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're fed on schedule, taken outside regularly, and get one or two walks a day if that's part of their routine. If your dog sleeps in a crate, I'll make sure they're comfortably settled in at bedtime, or I'll leave them out if that's what they're used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I work part-time at Dunkin as my main source of income. Unfortunately, my schedule for work is often given to me with short notice so it is hard to know what days I do/don’t work. I do generally work 7:00am to 12:00-12:30pm as a general frame of reference. While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every visit. As a nursing and public health college student, I’m attentive, dependable, and trained to notice changes in behavior, energy, or routine which is especially important for puppies and senior pets. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppy potty schedules, basic leash manners, and giving extra patience and attention to older pets who may need slower walks or more frequent check-ins. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I balance classes and two part-time jobs, my schedule is very flexible, and my classes are only a small portion of my day. This allows me plenty of time to plan walks and drop-in visits without rushing. I’m able to give dogs of all ages the attentive, reliable care they deserve, whether that’s an energetic walk or a calm check-in for senior pets. I follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention while respecting your home. I adjust care based on your pet’s age, energy level, and needs, and I always make sure they’re safe and happy.
About: In my 5 years of watching animals, I have found a passion in taking the best care of them and making them feel comfortable in their own homes. I have dealt with stressful dogs all the way to the outgoing kinds and know how to comfort them in anyways I can. I also have experience with training puppies and keeping up with them! Along with watching the animals, I am also there for you so if you have any plants that need watered or trash taken out I will happily do that for you! I am a Sophomore at East Carolina University and I do have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! I only have 1-2 classes a day that are not longer than an hour! My top priority is making sure they are comfortable and not stressed with their owners being gone. I ask the owners if they have any ways of calming them down and what their daily routine is. I mold my schedule to what the animals are used to so they aren’t dealing with a big change.
About: Hi!! I am a rising sophomore at ECU and my family and I just moved to Garner from New York. I am looking for dog care jobs over my summer break so I am available all day every day until I go back to school. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
About: I am knowledgeable with expressing anal glands on your dog when they become clogged and uncomfortable for your four legged friend. No dog breed or size is too much for me to handle. I am currently a graduate student at ECU with breaks between classes to ensure that your dog gets the bathroom break and exercise they deserve. I prefer to use a two leash system when walking a dog, a practice I picked up from my days as a volunteer dog walker at a no-kill shelter. This way, I can ensure your dog never leaves my side if they manage to slip out of their collar.

My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog the best care possible. I work full time 8-5, thirty minutes away from my address and have family 5 minutes away if anything come up while I’m at work, I have cameras inside and outside of my home so I can monitor animals when I’m not home. I am also available on weekends if you need an overnight sitter, and can stop in and check on your animals as many times as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard and would require a lease and harness for them to be taken out. This would make me feel better as nothing would happen to them. I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.

“We were very happy that Julie could take good care of Pumpkin. Julie sent us a picture while we were away for the weekend and she provided a thorough report when we picked Pumpkin up. We would call on Julie again.”
“Took great care of my dog, and sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing! Felt super comfortable leaving her there even tho we didn’t get a chance to meet before we dropped daisy off.”
“Thank you, James, for taking care of my precious Oreo at the last minute. He kept sending me pictures of my dog. I had no problem leaving her with him, and I hope to use James's services again in the future. He has a great environment for pet care and a large yard for them to play and run around in.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Heather was amazing! I don’t use a pet sitter often so I was a little nervous but Heather was excellent with communicating during the stay and made me feel at ease. Liberty loved playing with Gherkin and Gunnar (heather’s dogs) and did not want to leave! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent lots of videos and pictures and text updates during the stay.”
“We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!”
About: My late dog Casey (d. May 2026) was dog-reactive, and I found out firsthand how hard it is to find a dogsitter without any personal pets or other clients in the home for dogs like her when I travel. I always had at least one dog and cat in the home growing up, but Casey taught me how to set animals up for success by accepting them as they are and adjusting to their needs-- medical, emotional, and physical. For dog boarding, I would like to use my house and fenced-in yard to give other pets a quiet respite when their owners need to travel-- walks, naps, and play included-- and give owners the peace of mind that their pet is somewhere comfortable and safe when they are away. I sanitize and clean my house thoroughly after each pet's visit and pick up the dog poops from my yard to reduce any illness spread between dogs. For housesitting, I would treat your pet and house as I would want my own to be treated if a sitter stayed-- as it was left if not cleaner. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention. Any errand outside of the house I need to run is less than an hour. I will take cues from your pet and your directions on how to occupy your pet's day. On weekdays, I work a 8-to-4 job with flexibility. I typically wake at 6:30AM, return around noon to check on pets + give attention/walk, and stay home after work. Depending on your pet's needs, we can burn off energy or unwind together before I ensure that your pet is settled in for the night with my bedroom door open for nighttime access. As someone whose late dog who had medical and social needs, I will follow your care instructions for your pet in activities, mealtimes, and other concerns, along with medicine administration if needed. I will not be leaving your pet alone in the yard; your pet will be kept indoor in A/C with access to the living room and kitchen during weekdays. Please plan to bring some of your pet's comfort items (toys and treats) along with their necessities to ensure they have something from home for boarding. For new clients boarding in my home, I would ask that you are present for at least fifteen minutes when dropping off your pet to allow acclimation to the space and association with me as someone positive while you and I review care instructions for your pet. If meeting in the home is not possible for boarding, a time for your pet to meet me in a Meet & Greet is essential ahead of time. I want your pet's initial time with me to be as stress-free as possible.
“This is our second time using Flora. Lots of pictures and videos. The dogs were so loved while they were there! She is a great communicator and was flexible with a change in plans. We are hoping we get to use her one more time while we are in the area!”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
