About: I currently foster dogs and teach basic training for puppies/young dogs. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs. I have worked at with dogs at boarding kennels and a dog rescue in which I have handled a variety of different dogs breeds with many different personalities and needs. I take dogs to wildlife areas and the beaches to run on and off leash if client is confident with their dog listening. I currently work from home, and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work Monday’s to Friday’s and most weekends. I will keep my schedule updated through the app. I have a fenced in yard and monitor dogs when outside. I monitor pets with toys and spend time playing with dogs. If requested, I will provided basic training lessons, but price will vary. I am trained in e-collar training. I also, use a method that is a mix positive reinforcement/treats with repercussions. Method of training or handling the dog is discussed with the client and what training shall be focused on. I am trained in animal behavior and can notice if dogs become aggressive with people or other animals if requested for dogs to engage with other dogs. I always encourage clients to have their dogs engage in activities outside the home to get the dog more comfortable around people, other dogs, and people. Also to be handled walking on a leash and practice good behavior. Unless the dog is extremely aggressive and not good around other people or animals, I believe it is crucial for young dogs to practice socializing. Please be honest and inform me of any medical issues, aggression, other behavioral issues, and what toys they are allowed to have.

About: Passionate about dogs with 10+ years of experience in walking, feeding, and providing TLC to furry friends. I've also grown up with labs and currently own a sweet little pug. I currently work remotely, so I have flexibility during the week to play with your pups! I'm available any time on weekdays and Saturdays, and any time after 12 on Sundays to care for your pets. I make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable in their own home or mine, sticking to their routine and making them happy! I treat all dogs I care for as if they are my own.

“Andrea is amazing! She watched my doggies all day while I was at work. She was very accommodating and responsive. I know they were very well taken care of. She even trimmed their nails!!!”

About: Understanding dogs is so important to me. I have experience in puppy training and senior care. Every single visit will be tailored to your dog’s personality, age, and any needs. What sets me apart is my communication with owners. You will receive updates, photos, and any other notes to keep you in the loop on how your dog is doing. Your pup will be family! I am a stay at home mom with three small children who LOVE dogs. I am home all week and can board and take care of pets any day/time. Pets become like part of the family when in my home. I have a small fenced in backyard for your pup to run around, and a huge neighborhood with lots of great walking paths for good walks. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their comfort and structure.

“I don’t have enough words for how amazing our experience has been with Karen. She is very experienced and it shows in how well her dog is trained and how she takes care of ours. We set up a initial meet & greet with Karen to see how well our dogs would get along. I was a little nervous because our pup is smaller but Karen’s dog harmony is so well trained and gentle with him my worries were quickly relieved. Karen is amazing with our 4.5 month old pup he loves going to daycare she keeps him on a routine with multiple walks, playtime, naps, food breaks, and potty breaks. He came home a very happy pup. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“Craig and Lisa were very responsive, and hosted Molly for daycare on a holiday (Labor Day), which I unfortunately had to work. They have a nice, clean house, and a great yard which dogs would love. They kept me updated and my dog seemed to have a great time, as she came home and completely crashed. Keep up the good work and we'll see you again soon!”

About: Based in Wilmington, NC, I love giving local pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved every moment you’re away. 🐕💛 “Because your pets deserve the same love you give them.” Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s truly part of who I am. I love planning my days around wagging tails and happy paws, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, a playful midday walk, or winding down with evening snuggles. Since my schedule is flexible, I can easily adjust to whatever your pet needs — from multiple check-ins a day to longer stays or regular walks. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day, and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first — always. My home in Wilmington is pet-friendly, secure, and designed for both play and relaxation. 🌿 Fenced Yard: A spacious, fully fenced yard provides plenty of room for safe outdoor fun and exercise. Whether we’re playing fetch or just lounging in the sunshine, I always supervise outdoor time. 🛋️ Comfortable Indoors: Inside, pets can enjoy cozy spots to nap, climate-controlled comfort, and a calm environment that feels like home. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure everyone gets plenty of attention and care. 🚪 Safety Measures: I keep gates locked, leashes secured, and routines consistent. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and I follow all care instructions you provide — from feeding schedules to medication routines. 🐾 Experience You Can Trust: With 15+ years of pet care experience and three dogs of my own (Domino, Gracie, and November), I understand how to keep pets safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I was raised with dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own as well as a two cats. I also have multiple fish tanks. I know all about loving them like your own. I work from home so I know I’ll be able to give your fur babies enough attention, and love they need while you were gone. Whatever you need I will be able to do for you to assure you while you’re away that your fur baby is taken care of. PLEASE READ FOR HOUSE SITTING… I will house sit but I cannot spend the night. I will be there as late as you want and as much as you want just can’t spend the night. I am normally there from 7am and officially leave around 11pm and stay for several hours at a time. I will also send lots of photos and updates. No matter what you need I’ll be there to help! Whether that is lots of walking, playing, or cuddles! I’ll make sure they get the proper amount of attention while you’re gone. I treat all my fur babies like my own children and will do the same to yours! I want to make this experience as enjoyable for them as it for you!

“Gabrielle was wonderful with Sunnie! She was available last minute and we really appreciate that! Sunnie seemed very comfortable with her and she was well cared for. We will definitely leave Sunnie with Gabrielle again. She updated us and provided photos during Sunnie’s stay :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family relied on me to watch, walk and feed their pets. As a fitness enthusiast I enjoy daily walks and runs, especially when I can bring a furry friend along! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can take breaks as needed to go for walks, feeding and play time any day, all day. I have an apartment home that is pet friendly with a friendly cat of my own! I can easily separate my cat from your fur baby as needed. There is a gated dog area within walking distance from my home!

“Brian and his family were very kind and understanding while taking care of our high energy pup-in-training. They thankfully have a young pup of their own to do the heavy lifting, but I really appreciated being able to trust that our dog had a comfortable and engaging place to be while we have a day out.”

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

“My dog Lola spent the day with Julie while we were out exploring downtown Wilmington. Julie was really good at keeping me updated on how Lola was doing. Julie was very friendly and communicated very well throughout the whole process. When I’m back in Eilmington, I’ll make sure to book with Julie again!”

Annabel G.

“Evelyn was so great with Mazikeen! I ended up needing someone to watch Mazikeen while I was at work. She was extremely flexible and asked all the right questions. If I'm ever in town again, I'll happily book her again!”
