Personalized care for your dog or cat - Winterville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Winterville
“So glad we found Juli she quickly responded to our last minute request to board our little Maven when we traveled from out of town and our hotel did not accept dogs. Juli had a nice fenced in yard and sent us pictures and that made us comfortable leaving him overnight. She took great care of our puppy and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Heather was amazing with Milo! She provided regular updates with photos, and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. She was very responsive leading up to dropping him off, and was kind throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate Heather watching my pup and would recommend her to any dog parent! ☺️”
“She was great with zazu, and accommodated drop off for him which was so helpful. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely reach out to book again. We go lots of pictures and positive feedback. :)”
“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.”
“Madison took such great care of Indy. They went to the park and took several rides in the car!! Madison sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Indy had such a fun time with Madison and her pup Benji!!”
“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.
“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!!!!”
“Shelby is awesome! I was worried about leaving my little guy for the first time. But I felt very at ease with how well Shelby kept updating me and sending me photos throughout his stay. He even got to go to the beach for the first time! He was very well taken care of and I could tell when I picked him up how relaxed he was. Will definitely be choosing her again!”
“LOVED the care that Flora gave to my Yorkie - she provided excellent care, plenty of photos/videos to keep me updated, and I loved meeting her family as well. Will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Maria did a great job keeping our 8 month old dog. This was first time leaving our pet, but she cared well, kept him happy and healthy. She sent pictures and videos every day which were a big relief. Recommend this dog lover to all.”
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.
“Margaret is wonderful and always makes us feel so comfortable boarding our dog with her! She communicates with us every day sending us photos and something silly from the day. We really appreciate the level of communication and it’s clear our pup has so much fun every time he stays here!”

“I feel at ease when I'm away from my cats when I know Laura will be there to watch them. You can tell she truly cares for them. Couldn't ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Sabrin watched my cat over Christmas and she was fantastic. She responded very quickly and was more than happy to take a last minute client; she was very patient and friendly setting up a meet and greet. I highly recommend her to watch any pets!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for friends, neighbors, and family for since I was very young. I love cats and have one of my own! I love giving them all the attention they deserve! I love making sure your pets feel loved while you’re away, so that you can focus on relaxing on vacation, grinding on work, or anything else!
“Jessica was awesome with our cat Bella during our out of town weekend. Always on time, updating us on everything and taking excellent care of our Bella. I would not hesitate to use for services again and very grateful for her help and care.”
“Riley is so fantastic sitter. She always sent me updates on my babies. Even though my cats are timid they came out to her which made feel better! I would definitely book her again!!”
“She was phenomenal with my cats! Gave headsup before starting each checkin, followed their schedules and kept them separate while still spending individual time with them. My super shy cat immediately warmed up to her too, which was an instant relief! 10/10”
“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!”
“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.”
About: My lifelong love of cats began with my mom’s senior calico cat, Patches. She was far more patient than I deserved and rode around in that babydoll stroller like a queen. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to adopt and foster some of the sweetest, quirkiest felines. As a foster, my specialty is anxious personalities who need extra support to come out of their shells. I have experience caring for kittens, seniors, multiples, disabilities, and personalities big and small. Being away from furry family members is hard and I understand the excitement of that first scoop and snuggle when you’re back home. My goal is to prioritize your cat’s individual needs in thoughtful, consistent ways while maintaining as much normalcy as possible until they’re back in your arms. Thank you for your consideration (and your love of cats!)
About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets, including three dogs and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also have experience being around my roommate’s dog, which has helped me adapt to different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with an active dog or providing calm companionship for a more relaxed pet. I will be work Monday through Thursday from 9–5 starting May 18th, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and in the evenings after 5pm. I’m fully available all day on Fridays and weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for boarding, extended visits, or extra playtime. I’m committed to making sure your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care, even with my part-time schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with plenty of room for pets to relax and play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, needs, and personality, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Winterville
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!”
“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!”
“Excellent doggy day care! Our little dog Royal was so well taken care of and we didn’t need to worry about him being safe or having a great time with Juli! We look forward to our pup playing with her again in the future!”
“Rachel is so wonderful. My puppy was happy when I picked her after daycare and slept really well from all of the playtime she had despite spending some time in the crate at my request. Rachel was very accommodating and helpful in keeping our routine and rules and was flexible when I needed to add an extra day last minute. I will most definitely book with her again and would trust her with my puppy any time without any reservation.”
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 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. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.
About: I currently foster two senior hospice pups with a rescue and have always had a passion for caring for pets of all ages and breeds — from birds and fish to pigs and hamsters. I truly believe pets are an important part of any family, and my love for them is not just a job, but a genuine passion. With 30 years of service at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, caring for others has always been my calling. That dedication extends to animals, too. Now retired, I’m able to devote my full time and attention to providing exceptional care for your pets. II provide personalized care based on each pet’s preferences, whether that means walks, playtime with toys, gentle affection, or quiet companionship. I make sure your pet stays engaged, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. My home is clean and pet-safe, free of harmful plants or chemicals, and equipped with cameras for added security. I always follow each owner’s rules and routines, keeping your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority.
“Summer was great! This was my 1st time using Rover and the process was seamless. My fur baby Denali had a great time and was exhausted when I picked her up. I appreciated the update with pics and would definitely use Summer again when needed.”

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.

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 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.

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.

About: Hi! I'm Daryana, an experienced pet sitter specializing in dogs and exotic pets. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic pups to reptiles, so I'm comfortable with all types of animals. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make sure they get the care, attention, and routine they're used to while you're away. super flexible with last-minute bookings and schedule changes—I'm here to make pet care as stress-free as possible for you. Your pets will be safe, happy, and loved like they're my own! I balance school with my love for pets, making sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and care each day. On school days, I plan around classes to give pets feeding, playtime, and companionship, and on days off I have extra time for longer walks, training, or overnight care. Pets are always a part of my daily routine, and I make their happiness and comfort a priority. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at theirs. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and give extra attention to anxious or special-needs pets. I make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure at all times, and I communicate with owners to keep them updated on their furry family members.
“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: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!
“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”

I use positive reinforcement, monitor behavior for any concerns, and keep open communication with owners through updates and photos to build trust and reassurance.
About: Animals truly are a man’s best friend. They offer a kind of companionship and loyalty that’s hard to match—even with people.

I am currently a student-athlete at Hollins University. Between class, workouts, and other extra-curricular activities, I am looking for something flexible. I miss having my dogs with me and I figured pet care would be perfect! It gives me the flexibility I need while also allowing me to take care of someone’s furry friend! My dogs are always fed, played with, and happy! I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to make sure your furry friend is taken care of!
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.
“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: Currently working as a Veterinary Receptionist in Kinston, NC— attending Pitt Community College for a General Business Degree🐶. I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 13 years old, growing a passion to continue working with pets through the years. I am knowledgeable on proper animal care & procedure, so feel free to contact me for all pet needs! 🤍 Im working full-time during the week from 7:15-5:30pm at an animal hospital located in Kinston! But my weekends are fully available whenever you need me, and certain days during the week🐶 I care for the pets according to the needs of which my Clients will share with me. I always make sure to fit animal needs, no matter what! 🐾
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 experience training dogs at Top dog training academy as well as day sitting experience. Have means of transportation to be able to transport animals in case of emergency, and own a black lab. I have handled all types of dog breeds and sizes and do not have any fear of aggressive animals. I am working towards a career with K-9s in the law enforcement field I am willing to work my schedule as much as I can into my daily and weekly routine to accommodate my clientele however seen fit.

I walk with a leash at all times and ensure that pets are fed at their normal times that their owners feed them so that no break in routine can be established.

“So glad we found Juli she quickly responded to our last minute request to board our little Maven when we traveled from out of town and our hotel did not accept dogs. Juli had a nice fenced in yard and sent us pictures and that made us comfortable leaving him overnight. She took great care of our puppy and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Heather was amazing with Milo! She provided regular updates with photos, and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. She was very responsive leading up to dropping him off, and was kind throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate Heather watching my pup and would recommend her to any dog parent! ☺️”
“She was great with zazu, and accommodated drop off for him which was so helpful. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely reach out to book again. We go lots of pictures and positive feedback. :)”
“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.”
“Madison took such great care of Indy. They went to the park and took several rides in the car!! Madison sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Indy had such a fun time with Madison and her pup Benji!!”
“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.
“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!!!!”
“Shelby is awesome! I was worried about leaving my little guy for the first time. But I felt very at ease with how well Shelby kept updating me and sending me photos throughout his stay. He even got to go to the beach for the first time! He was very well taken care of and I could tell when I picked him up how relaxed he was. Will definitely be choosing her again!”
“LOVED the care that Flora gave to my Yorkie - she provided excellent care, plenty of photos/videos to keep me updated, and I loved meeting her family as well. Will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Margaret is wonderful and always makes us feel so comfortable boarding our dog with her! She communicates with us every day sending us photos and something silly from the day. We really appreciate the level of communication and it’s clear our pup has so much fun every time he stays here!”
About: I require a copy of vaccines from your vet and your animal to be on flea tick and heart worm medicine to stay. ✨ Why choose me? • I treat every dog like family—snuggles, belly rubs, and playtime are guaranteed. • Safety first: I keep a close eye on all dogs and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. • Reliable communication: You’ll always get photo & video updates so you know your pup is in great hands. ✨ About me: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers cozy naps and gentle attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. ✨ What your dog can expect: • Daily walks, potty breaks, and fresh water • Playtime tailored to their energy level • Lots of love and attention • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment ✨ Extra touches: I’m patient, reliable, and truly love what I do. 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.
“Thomas and Margaret were absolutely wonderful with our wild rescue and elderly lab. We were worried more about our wild man getting along but she took him right in and assured us he would be fine. Our old girl had an accident we were immediately notified and received updates in case she could have been declining. I know there was cleanup involved and our Zoey was clean as she could be when we picked her up. We received daily check-ins with pictures. Wonderful experience, will re-book!”
“We brought our golden doodle with us to Snow hill and left her with Lisa while we attended Baseball games. Lisa has a fantastic yard and she took her for walks daily. Maddie seemed so happy and almost sad to leave. If we ever land in Snow Hill again, we will ask Lisa to watch out fur baby.”
