“Debbie was great with our pups while we were gone. She gave prompt updates and even cleaned up after one of our dogs upset tummies (sorry Debbie! ?). We hope to book with her again in the future. ❤️”


“Stephanie was great with Buster!! Always on time and attentive to keep his normal schedule while we were out of town! She even made Buster little pup treats! Highly recommend!”


“Kendall was amazing with our 2 dogs! It’s my first time using the drop ins as we normally board the girls. She made us feel at ease by sending us photos of our babies she even put our packages inside the house. Thank you so much for helping us with the girls!”

About: I have 2 cats of my own, Shark and Finley. I grew up with pets and I am super excited to take care of some new furry friends! I work from home Monday through Friday. I will have time during the day to stop in to take care of all your pets needs. I am also off on the weekends. Having 2 cats of my own I understand how important routine is for your pets and making sure they feel comfortable while you are away. Making sure they trust me and I understand them is very important.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets for many years. From neighbors to families I have babysat for, I’ve always enjoyed caring and spending time with animals and want to provide the best care! I currently have a very open schedule as I recently moved to the area and am taking a break from working. In the next coming months I’ll have complete open availability. I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats and am able to take care of them as needed. Catering to different needs and situations.

“Jordan was so wonderful and caring with our crew. I have an older pup who she was so special with. She sat and loved on everyone. I would highly recommend her.”


About: Hi, I'm Ryan! I’m a passionate pet lover with a genuine desire to make sure your furry friends are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits where I can provide playtime, feedings, and bathroom breaks for your pets. Having two sweet (but crazy) pups of my own, I know how hard it is to pick out care for your animals when you can’t be there! Whether it’s a quick check-in or a fun, interactive play session, you can count on me to give your pets the attention they deserve! Looking forward to meeting your pets soon! I work full time as an interior designer, so I am busy M-F 9-5 but I am available for drop ins after work and anytime on the weekends! With two dogs of my own, I know how important good care can be for your animals! Whether it’s as easy as making sure there’s water in the bowl and some cuddles or if they are a runner and outside time needs to be watched carefully - I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own!

About: I have personally taken care of dogs and cats my whole life but for the past 3 years I have been doing it in a more professional manner. For the past 3 years I have worked at a local cage free boarding facility and doggie daycare. I have also been doing in home dog/house sitting for the past year. I am very familiar with pet first aid and have no issues giving medications (to cats or dogs). I enjoy giving people the comfort that their pets are going to be spoiled with snuggles and love while in my care. I currently work full time from home so I have the flexibility to bring my work with me or take breaks during the day to accommodate the needs of my fur friends and their humans. I live in a house with an unfenced yard but has a large dog park if in care in my home is needed. Care in your home can be customized to your needs!

“Georgia was great. My little pup loved playing with her. Georgia was available on short notice and was prompt and sent great pictures. I will definitely rebook Georgia again.”


“Lauryn is great! She spent time with Cleo and sent pictures daily. It definitely made me happy to know she was in good hands while I was away.”


“I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have had Sarah pet sit my cats. She followed all the instructions I gave her and every day she sent me pictures in the morning and pictures in the evening. Sarah was outstanding and I would definitely use her again. She is very responsible and competent. I had complete peace of mind on my vacation because I knew my cats were being very well taken care of . Thank you so much Sarah!”


“Kayla was able to help out last minute, was easy to communicate with and was even able to help coordinate so an exterminator could come while we were gone. Very kind and I think the animals agree - will definitely call again!”


About: Whether your pet likes to laze around on the couch or needs to run five miles a day, I will be there to make sure your baby is well taken care of while you’re away. My family has had cats and dogs since I was a kid, so the love was always there, but I didn’t get my own cat until I was 10. She taught me a lot of hard work. Digging out litter boxes, clipping nails, and watching open doors like a hawk. She made me fall in love with taking care of animals. I’ve been pet sitting professionally since I was 13. I’ve taken care of great danes big enough to jump over me and spiky spitfire cats who wanted to be pet but attacked when you weren’t looking. Every animal has a unique personality and way that they need to be loved and cared for. Let me take care of your pets so you can rest easy knowing they’re taken care of in the way they need. My schedule is super flexible! I currently work part time, so I have lots of time during the week to spend playing with and taking care of your pets. Safety is of the upmost importance to me— pets are like family. You can rest assured that doors stay closed and locked, dogs are supervised in the yard, and all pet-specific precautions are being followed to a T.

About: UPDATE: unfortunately due to a large number of bookings showing up hours & hours late we now have to add a $20 late fee if you are more than 30 minutes late dropping off your dog or 30 minutes late picking up your dog. This is because we run a tight schedule throughout our days, running meet and greets and so on. Due to the respect of our time and yours we would like to have a consistent schedule where we have adequate time for drop offs, pick ups and meet and greets. I.e if you are 30 minutes late picking up your dog, we may have scheduled a meet and greet for that time and then suddenly the house is too busy and chaotic. We hope you understand. UPDATE ON MEET AND GREETS: we now have to limit these to 10 minutes, if you would like longer we ask you book in for a 30minute drop in visit. We are beginning to book out fairly far in advance. If you are an existing client and the date shows as unavailable please go ahead and send a request through anyway as we may have the dates booked out for existing clients. We can't guarantee we will accept new clients. We have trained and worked with dogs for over 20 years. We currently own a Dutch Shepard and a Chihuahua mix. We have previously worked with and/or owned Beagles, Miniature Chihuahuas, Dachunds, German Shepards, Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Boykin Spaniels, Retrievers, Shih Tzus, Bichon Frisés, Jack Russels, Huskies and Chows. We are always excited to meet and love on new pets and get to know and enjoy their unique personalities. We are both self employed with Bonnie working from home and Matt working very flexible hours locally. We have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pups!! It’s always an easy task when you enjoy what you do! Our home is very pet friendly, we have a large fenced in backyard with a very high fence (raised so our Dutchy could no longer jump it) where we can keep your pups safe whilst we play. We have ample time each day for drop in visits and walks.

“Gina took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She was always on time for the drop ins and spent lots of time playing with the cats and giving them extra attention when I couldn’t. It was great to know they were in good hands! She was absolutely wonderful and went above in beyond in caring for my cats. Would recommend in a heart beat!”


About: My husband and I both work home-based on a flexible schedule. We go way above and beyond what your dog normally would get in most in-home boardings …lots of outdoor playtime in our spacious lot, walks if requested, hangouts and snuggles when indoors, and a complete at home feeling, And, regarding in-home checkins and dog walking, I am the one who typically does it (Paul is my backup). We both are involved with the boarding in our home, mainly because my husband loves engaging with dogs as much as I do! ;) I've cared for dogs for most of my life and, as an adult, have always owned a dog (or two!). I've owned a Bichon, Lab, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, St. Bernard and an English Cocker Spaniel (as well as a cat and birds). I can supply references upon request. I love dogs and other house pets and will shower lots of affection on yours as well. I definitely don't think you'll regret trying me out...your pet will be well taken care of! Please keep me in mind if you desire someone to walk your dog(s), play with them, check in on them here and there, or for boarding in our home (1/2 acre fenced lot just three miles from Wrightsville Beach if you're here for vacation!) We work home-based so we will have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur baby during boarding. :) I also am flexible during the day to do check-ins or walks/playtime. We have a 1/2 acre yard surrounded by an eight-foot-tall fence. We also have a friendly English Cocker Spaniel named George! He loves to play with other dogs but, if your pup prefers less playful contact, we can keep George more separate. ;)

“She was very attentive and communicative. Friendly and clearly an animal person. Very reliable, helpful, and flexible with scheduling. I appreciated the update she sent with photos when she visited my dog.”


About: I have 2 dogs of my own! I always watch my friend’s pets when they go out of town and have so much love for animals of all kinds! I am out of school for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! My top priority is caring for your pups with plenty of time, attention and love! I have a car with a clean driving record so I can reliably get to your home on time. I prioritize safety, trust and a loving environment!

About: I have been comfortable around animals at home my entire life. I have taken care of animals for friends & neighbors since the age of 10 - dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, horses… you name it… I work full time with the ability to adjust my meetings during the day with enough notice. Also available most evenings for walks and drop-ins. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, and breeds. If the owner would like for me to come meet their pet prior to me caring for them to ensure that they’re comfortable - I am more than happy to make that work!

About: I can walk and feed the animals as well as playing with them. I’m a dog person and I volunteered at the Rockingham County animal shelter so I have experience with a wide range of animals! I enjoy spending time with animals and I make sure to be kind and gentle with animals so they are comfortable with me. I will make sure to keep a close eye on all the animals I care for. I also enjoy taking dogs on fun car rides as well as going to the park! I am a very reliable person and if I am available and agree to watch your animals I will be there! I am very knowledgeable when it comes to animals because I have had dogs and cared for them most of my life. I hope you choose me as your pets sitter!

Matt J.Star Sitter
“Matt & Lou boarded Max for 4 nights. Max is a high energy dog and I liked that they had a fenced in yard at their home as well as lots of grass in their neighborhood. I received a morning and evening written update daily as well as lots of photos. I knew as soon as I met Matt & Lou that Max would love it there and that Lacey and Max would be able to play as they are similar in size. Matt & Lou are clearly dog lovers and treat their dogs and yours as family and their love really shows through their updates and the photos they send. I will be recommending Matt & Lou to friends and family, I wish I had found them sooner.”
