“Khaleesi and Tyreika are getting to know each other, and their friendship is off to a promising start! 🐾 On their first walk together, Khaleesi took her time getting comfortable, but she enjoyed exploring and spending time with her new walking buddy. We’ll be sharing updates as this new friendship continues to grow. ❤️🐶”

About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.

“Eric was on time, professional, and my dog adored him. For 30 minutes each day, he walked him and even got on the ground and played with him. I will certainly ask Eric to help out in the future when I need a walker again.”

About: Hey I’m Dayana! I’ve always loved animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have a 6-year-old Pit Bull of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. I’ve also done basic training with my own dog, so I’m familiar with reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach based on each dog’s needs. I do work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my availability to fit your needs. I also have access to Fort Bragg, so I’m available to care for pets both on and off post. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I do work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my availability to fit your needs.

About: I have horses, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am very detailed oriented and very good with following any and all directions you may have for your animals. My famiky has a small hobby farm so we have seen a lot. I am homeschooled and have a flexible schedule. I am very responsible and will make sure that everything is done the way you want. My animals are my babies and I understand yours are too. I have great recommendations and am very detailed oriented. I understand the risks with all animals and will make sure that your animal is properly cared for.

About: I've been a proud dog parent for the past 6 years to a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky, two of the most energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds out there! I've trained both of my dogs myself, and I've also helped train other dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to big ones. That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read an animal's body language and needs. I've also cared for cats for 5 years, so whether your cat is playful and social or prefers their quiet space, I know how to give them what they need. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy and balanced. Shedding season, zoomies, and stubborn streaks don't faze me one bit! When I care for your pet, I treat them like family, sticking to their routine, reinforcing good habits, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I work from home full time, so I'm available for drop-in visits and house sitting whenever you need, including last-minute bookings! While I'm caring for your fur babies, I'm happy to keep up with their usual routine, whether that's daily walks, trips to the dog park, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the same respect I'd give my own. I follow your pet's routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure so no one slips out. I keep dogs leashed on walks, supervise any time outside, and make sure fresh water is always available. If your pet stays with me, I start with a meet and greet so everyone can get comfortable before the stay. My German Shepherd and Siberian Husky are very friendly with other dogs, and I introduce new pups slowly and supervise all playtime to keep things safe and relaxed. I also have a fully fenced yard where pets can run and play safely. Your pet will get the same attention, structure, and love that my own dogs do. Either way, I'll send regular updates with photos so you can see how your fur babies are doing while you're away. If anything unexpected comes up, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency and vet instructions.

About: As long as I can remember I have been surronded by animals. From childhood to now I have worked in many animal environments including pet grooming facilities and even dog walking and boarding on my own. My experience doesn’t just stop there though. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! My husband is active duty and I am here to hold down the fort. With that being said, I have plenty of free time. My days are usually spent at home and the company of furry friends makes home much more lively. I believe that owning a pet is like having a child and we all have different wants and needs for our pets. I plan to follow guidelines that are set up for me to have the most success with your pets. This includes: feeding and feeding times, crating or free roaming, lots of activities or just lazy day. I want the best for both the pet and the pet parent.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.

About: I have been trusted a magnitude of time to support families on trips watching their pets daily. I sent pictures and updates when I am there watching pets. Being in the military, I have days where I can come home early and I am there to support my pets needs and I most of the time give my dog a full of attention I make sure that their pets feel loved that they go on multiple walks a day to get out of the house and stretch out. I also make sure that they are well fed and hydrated.

“She really helped me out of a bind when I had no one to let my 6 month old puppy out of her kennel for a pee and water break during the day while I worked my 12 hour shifts for 2 days. I could tell by the second day that Ellie recognized Colleen, and not only that was excited to see her again! Colleen really took care of my puppy, was patient while she sniffed everything and anything on their walk, made sure she pottied and had a drink before putting her back in her kennel for the rest of my shift. Great experience! Both for me, and for Ellie too. 10/10 would recommend, and would book again :)”

About: I’ve always had animals in the home growing and and being on my own. I love all animals and I’m very reliable and respectful of all animals and homes! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have open availability to help you give your fur babies the best care and companionship! I have a 1 year old husky at home so I’m used to big energetic dogs! And I have a cat fur baby I’ve had for years.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats throughout their lifecycle, from nursing kittens to sending old pups to doggy heaven. I know what it takes to give animals attention and make them feel cared for. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I can work with any schedule and care commitments. I also walk often, so taking dogs out for some healthy exercise is right up my alley. I have two cats (both female) and two dogs. I have owned both all my life, so I have every kind of experience (good and bad!) and can handle it all!

About: I have experience with dog sitting for 10+ years. I will go out of my way to make sure they are healthy, safe, and loved under my care. I am detail oriented and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while your pet is under my care. I also have base access! I have 10 years of owning and training puppies basic commands while at home. I would love to help you out as well if needed. Basic commands consist of come, sit, stay, down, paw, roll over, spot, center, heel, and leave it. I am currently in school full time but online, so I can easily work around your schedule. Being a college student online gives me extreme flexibility through the week. I am so excited to meet your furbabies! I currently live in an apartment. I normally crate my puppy when I’m not home. I can do the same for you if needed. Anything that is needed I will be willing to do my best to accommodate to that.

About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. I have experience with washing, walking, feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. Currently, my occupation is a dog groomer. Before this job I was a vet assistant at an Animal Hospital. I work part-time right now so I have plenty of time to watch after your pets. I’m available everyday including weekends. I have a flexible schedule. On days I have to work, I feed my dog and cat twice a day. My dog gets let outside before I go to work then when I get home. He gets baths on a regular basis.

About: Other than being able to have base access availability. I’ve cared for many pets over the years and have had my own since I was 11. I grew up with cats and guinea pigs, and I’ve also pet-sat for dogs, bunnies, and more. I love all animals and am happy to help with bathing and light grooming too. I'm currently a student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets as needed! I'm flexible on all times of the day. I always prioritize safety by following your pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep hazardous items out of reach, and monitor your pet’s behavior for signs of stress or illness. I’m also comfortable giving baths or medication if needed. I will always recommend and require, a meet and greet to ensure that all safety measures are in place.

“Tiffany is amazing! She answered our request promptly and communicated before, during, and after walking my Ellie May. She was flexible and so sweet!! We will definitely be using her again ? thanks Tiffany!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, reliability, and genuine care I bring to every dog I work with. I always treat each pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, quick to pick up on each dog’s personality, and always communicate clearly with updates, photos, and check-ins. I also have hands-on experience working with puppies—helping with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and keeping their schedules consistent. For senior dogs, I’m very gentle and understanding of their needs, from slower walks to medication reminders and extra comfort. No matter the age, size, or energy level, I tailor my care to fit exactly what your dog needs. Overall, I bring professionalism, compassion, and a calm, dependable presence that helps your pet feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Friday from 8–5, but I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and playtime, and I’m always available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure pets get the attention, structure, and consistency they need, so even with a full schedule, I’m always able to provide reliable and loving care. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine exactly the way the owner prefers. I keep things familiar for the pet—feeding at their normal times, sticking to their usual walk schedule, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If a pet requires special care—like medication, crate routines, puppy training, or senior support—I make sure those needs are handled consistently and gently. My goal is to keep pets relaxed, happy, and safe by making their day-to-day life feel as normal as possible, whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying longer.
