Dog Sitting Winterville

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: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.

“Alexis did a fantastic job with Violet! She sent us updates throughout the visit and took her for a walk and played with her :)”

“Thank you Riley for taking great care of our kittens while we were away. Riley showed up when she needed to, made sure our cats had food and water and kept their littler box clean. She spent time with them and gave them love and attention which made us feel better about leaving them home. I would book with Riley again and just ask her to be mindful of unnecessary lighting gets turned off. Our boys were taken care of with lots of love and we really appreciate that.”

About: Hi! Im Gina! I have grown up with all sorts of animals big and small my whole life! I volunteer on a farm with all sorts of furry, and scaly friends! I absolutely love animals, they are my biggest passion. Id definitely say I am more of a pet person than a people person. I have worked with all sorts of animals. I am open to all and would love to get to meet your pets! I am a current college student who’s scheduled is mostly online and in the morning or at night. My free time is usually between 9am-7pm. Weekly, I plan for longer walks, grooming, cleaning pet areas, and monitoring supplies like food and medications to ensure everything stays on track. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment by keeping spaces clean, hazard-free, and well-supervised. I follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions closely. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress. 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: I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our household always had four or more animals, and today I have two dogs and a cat of my own. From energetic puppies to older pets, I've experienced every stage of a pet's life and understand what they need. As a competitive post collegiate distance runner, I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, runs, or plenty of playtime. At the same time, I know that not every pet has the same energy level, so I'm happy to match each pet's routine (I do enjoy some couch time too!) I've cared for a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including labs, hounds, pit mixes, shepherd mixes, mixed breeds, orange tabby cats, and tuxedo cats. I've also cared for senior pets, administered basic medications and preventative treatments, and I'm comfortable following any care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. One thing that sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian. While I'm not a veterinarian myself, I've grown up learning about animal health, behavior, and responsible pet care, giving me a stronger understanding of dogs and cats than the average pet owner. Above all, I'll treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide dependable care. While my afternoons and evenings are generally the most open, I'm happy to accommodate morning visits or other requested times whenever possible. I understand that every owner has different scheduling needs, so I'm always open to communicating and finding a time that works best for both you and your pet. Because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to give pets the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. Whether it's a walk, play session, feeding, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure your pet receives the care and affection they need while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care that fits into both your routine and your pet's. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or yours, I treat them like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable while following your care instructions closely. When caring for pets in your home, I also understand the importance of respecting your space. I'll keep your home clean and exactly as you left it while providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I provide dependable, attentive pet care with genuine compassion. I treat every pet like family, prioritize safety and comfort, and make sure owners feel confident and updated while away. I have walked/ stayed with many of my neighbors and family friends dogs all the time and have experience with taking care of their dogs as well as all 4 of my dogs I am free over the summer whenever anyone would need me for any type of care for their animals I am open too all types 7-days a week and open to however much time you want me too spend time with your pet/pets!

About: I absolutely adore pets and always have since I was young! Had several dogs all throughout my childhood and am currently in search for one of my own! I enjoy walking outside so if your dog loves to go for walks, we'd be the perfect match! I have also pet sat dogs of all ages many times before for neighbors and friends, so I would love to be able to pet sit for anyone in need whether that be for feeding time, walks, overnight care or just to be there so they aren't lonely!

About: Hi there! My name is Avi, and I would be more than happy to take care of your animal friends! I have always loved animals, dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it! I am a college graduate with a Bachelors in Biology, and I want to get a career working with animals full time. I have experience working with all types of pets. The dogs I have experience caring for are majority large dogs, including senior dogs, puppies, and reactive dogs. I have also cared for cats, including senior cats for multiple years. I have even taken care of bearded dragons! In addition, I am able to do drop-ins and will be able to board any of your rodents or reptiles! I have four dogs currently, the oldest one is a rescue who has had a lot of training as he is leash-reactive. I have had him for over nine years. The other two are siblings over three years of age, which I have cared for since they were one month old, along with having cared for two of their other siblings for about two years. I can work full time! I am available any day of the week. I will not be able to board your pets in my home as I have a reactive dog, but I can come to your home and feed, play with, care for, and walk your furry babies! I live in a house with a huge yard in which I constantly take my dogs out to play. One of my dogs doesn't interact well with the two younger, so I would not have my house available for boarding. However, I am more than happy to do drop-ins!

“Katherine was very sweet. We had a phone conversation before she came over and she made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”
