Dog Sitting Wrightsville Beach

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently left our two cats, Moose and Olive, for over a week—the longest we’ve ever been away from them—and couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She made the time away feel so much more comfortable by staying in constant communication and sending us daily updates with photos. When Moose had a little tummy trouble, she immediately let us know and kept an eye on him, following up to ensure he was back to normal. One of the most thoughtful touches? We ran low on litter, and she went out of her way to restock and make sure the litter boxes were clean and healthy for our cats. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our fur babies gave us complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Moose and Olive!”

About: I have grown up with four dogs, I have foster dog experience, and I volunteer at the local humane society. I am good at following directions about pet care and I have some knowledge on basic training techniques. I am a college student with an easy going schedule which makes it easy to spend a lot of time off campus taking dogs for walks, giving them love, and keeping them company. I will follow specific feeding and potty break directions as well as spend ample time giving attention and helping to burn some energy. I have so much love to give these animals!

“Hilary was very sweet and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us out when we went out of town. Polly was very happy to see her when she came over too!”

About: I had two rambunctious but precious dogs growing up, so I'm not put off by a tough exterior. I know a mean bark does not equal a mean soul. I have experience dogsitting/cat sitting for clients, friends and professors, and most recently I've been volunteering at Addie Catz Sanctuary, so I'm well accustomed to cleaning messes, navigating reactive animals, and loving on pets. I'm more than happy to answer any questions :) I currently have classes from 9am-1pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and from 9am-12pm, then 3pm-5pm Tuesday/Thursday (so I can check on pets in between those classes). I love to do early morning walks to make up for time I can't be with them during the day! I'll be asking a lot of questions to ensure my care is tailored to your pet's needs, and to build your trust in my capabilities. I'm more than happy to learn the kennels, feeding systems, and "flow" of animal care in your own home to avoid the unnecessary stress and change for pets that comes with boarding.

About: ⸻ I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and more. I’ve successfully managed households with multiple pets—such as four dogs and a bird at once—and specialize in providing attentive, hands-on care for senior pets and those with medical needs. I offer in-home pet sitting to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience for your pets while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully committed to the well-being of every animal in my care. I’m currently transitioning out of my previous role, which means I’m available full-time for pet care. I’m excited to dedicate my time and energy to caring for your pets with the attention and reliability they deserve! I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and consistency right in the comfort of their home. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved—because when I’m your sitter, your pet gets the best.

About: Hi! My name is Katherine! I’m an animal lover and a dog mom to a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some good company while you’re away, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with all kinds of pets and tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates (with pictures!) so you know your pet is in great hands. Thank you for considering me! I am a student at UNCW, I do not currently work. So i’m available pretty much all the time to help out whenever you need! Caring for the safety of the pets I watch is always my top priority. I start with a meet-and-greet to learn each pet’s routine, behavior, medical needs, and any triggers or anxieties they may have. I make sure to follow their schedule closely—sticking to regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to keep them comfortable and secure. I always double-check that all doors, gates, and fences are closed and locked to prevent escapes, and I never leave pets unattended outside, even in a fenced yard. I use properly fitted collars or harnesses for walks and never let pets off-leash unless it’s in a fully secured, owner-approved area. I also keep a close eye on their health, watching for any signs of illness or injury, and I always have emergency contact info and the nearest vet’s location on hand. Safety includes creating a calm, hazard-free environment, keeping human food, small objects, and toxic items well out of reach. Most importantly, I keep open communication with pet owners, providing updates, photos, and reaching out if anything seems off. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 25+ years, and connecting with them has always come naturally to me. I’m especially attuned to pets who are sensitive, shy, or need a calm and steady presence. Whether I’m walking dogs, checking in on cats, or supporting small animals, I focus on helping them feel safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all ages and temperaments • Cats who range from independent to highly social • Small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, etc.) • Horses and farm animals (currently expanding my formal training) My approach is simple: meet each animal exactly where they are that day. Some need play and structure, some need quiet companionship, and some need a very gentle introduction. I pay close attention to cues, routines, and emotional needs so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can work to fit you and your pet’s need. It’s possible I’m available if the fly but to be safe, 48 hours is best. Your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, and I follow your routines exactly to help your pet stay grounded while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from me: • Attentive, consistent care I stay fully present with your pet — no distractions, no rushing. I observe behavior, energy levels, and anything unusual, and I always communicate clearly with you. • Secure, mindful handling I double-check gates, doors, and leashes before and after every visit. I do not do off-leash walks unless we are in a secure, fully fenced area. • Respect for your home I leave things exactly as I found them and ensure everything is locked and safe when I leave. • Comfort-focused care I follow your pet’s preferred routines, walking styles, feeding instructions, and any sensitivities they have. For shy or anxious animals, I move slowly, speak softly, and let them set the pace. • Transparent communication You’ll receive honest updates, photos, and notes from each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your animals — and your home — are in safe, steady, trustworthy hands.

About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!
