“Tara was an outstanding pet sitter for our Juniper. We actually booked her as a house sitter as well and she took care of our other animals and random things that came up. Very responsible and I could tell Juniper was being looked after and loved. Thank you so much. Would book her again anytime!”
About: Hi there! I’m Shelley — a seasoned and trustworthy sitter offering in-home pet care across the Outer Banks. I specialize in keeping your pets safe, happy, and right on schedule while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily drop-in, a neighborhood walk, or staying overnight at your home, I bring consistency and genuine care to every visit. Based in KDH, I serve the surrounding Outer Banks communities within a 30-mile radius. Flexible, dependable, and always communicative, I’m here to make travel less stressful for both you and your furbabies. I care for both dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and needs and always treat your home with the same respect I give your pets.
About: I pay attention to detail and makes your pets feel like you never left home. You’ll come home to them knowing they were loved and cared for. I have an infant so I have a very fluid schedule throughout my week. My main priority is to be with my son. We both love animals and would love to take on this opportunity to help others. I follow the rules you request and make sure your pets are safe and cared for just like you would at home. My goal is to go beyond the bar that’s set so ensure quality care.
“Dagmara was amazing!! We went out of town kind of last minute and she was so quick to reply and take on our reservation. Phoenix was well loved while we were gone and Dagmara always texted me updates and pics daily. Thanks so much & we will definitely reach out again when needed 💓”
“Heather was incredible to work with — her process was clear, thoughtful, and it’s obvious she takes great pride in the care she provides. Our dogs warmed up to her right away, and she was attentive, thorough, and reassuring from the start. After not needing to vet a new sitter in years, we felt completely at ease both before and during her stay. Highly recommend!”
“It has been a huge relief to find someone we trust that our animals love as well. We first met Kayla before the holidays and since then she’s house sat for us multiple times. Kayla is proffessional, caring, great with animals, and quick to respond! We highly recommend if you need a pet sitter to give her a try :)”
About: Furry friends have always been a part of my family, starting with my first big brother, a fluffy cat named Spike! With over 13 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, hedgehogs, and more, I'd love to help your pet feel loved while you're away. I've helped raise three litters of puppies (ask me for pictures!) and taken care of my aging black lab and calico kitty as they passed over the rainbow bridge. Nervous or shy pets are welcome! Whether you need a sitter while on vacation or a reliable doggy day walker, I’m here to help 💕 I work remotely, so I am available throughout the day whenever your pet needs a walk, play time, or a solid snuggle. While I'm with your pet, I'm on their schedule! I have experience with crate training, medication administration, and know how important it is to keep pets stimulated, especially when their family is away! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to roam. I also try to avoid walking on pavement for too long between 11 and 3, as the sidewalks are too hot for paws. I'd be happy to take your friend on beach walks or strolls through the Nags Head woods.
“Carmen helped us out in a time of need on short notice. My dog would take walks with her, even though she isn’t always willing to with females. It seemed like she was grateful for the job and bonded with and spoiled my dog while we were away. I would recommend her!”
About: I have nine cats of my own and work as a cat care technician, so I’m experienced with all types of cats. I know how to administer shots and medication, including caring for my own diabetic cat. I also had two cats who lived to be 17 and 16 years old, which taught me a lot about long-term care and commitment. I work from 8 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM on weekdays, with rotating weekends. On weekends, my shift ends at 2 PM. I would visit the cat’s home to feed them, clean their litter box, socialize with them, and take care of any other necessary tasks. To make sure they’re comfortable and well kept! I would visit the dogs home, feed them, let them go potty, and help them burn off some energy.
