“Lily walked my two dogs on time for exactly how long we scheduled her for. We got our photo updates which was great when you are missing the dogs when you are away. I heard from mom that the dogs got super excited to see her each time. Go with Lily if you want it done right.”
About: I am an experienced dog sitter, walker and owner. I moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts in January and miss my family dog terribly!

I’d also love to get my daily serotonin boost from spending time with your best canine friend! Whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company during the day, or extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! Here is my availability: Sunday: I'm available in the morning until 1:30PM and then I'm available after 5PM Monday: All Day Tuesday: I'm available until 3:30 PM and then I'm available after 6:30 PM Wednesday: I'm available until 4PM Thursday: I'm available until 3:30 PM and then I'm available after 6:30 PM Friday: All Day Saturday: All Day My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“My fur babies love going on walks with Taryn and I enjoy receiving their reports and pictures from their walk excursions. She is very friendly and punctual and I am grateful to have found her since I am currently recovering from surgery so unable to give them their daily walks. I would recommend Taryn for any future service for your fur babies 🐶. Thank you”
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have been caring for animals my entire life. I have two Goldendoodles and a German Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know a dog breeder and have helped care for puppies before they go to their forever homes, so I’m familiar with their routines and special needs. I’ve even cared for up to 20 animals at once in my home, which has taught me how to manage feeding schedules, daily routines, and the individual needs of multiple animals. Now that I’m living away from home, I miss my own furry friends more than ever! I would love the opportunity to give your pets all the love, attention, and care I give my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or a little extra TLC, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands! I am available for drop-ins and walks whenever on the weekends and on weekdays I have classes. This means I am available Monday and Friday anytime after 9am, before 8am and after 1:45pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9am-4pm on Wednesdays. When caring for your pets in your home or taking them on walks, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll adjust my care to make sure they get the attention they deserve. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and sniffing time they need while keeping their safety my top priority. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or taking their time exploring, I’ll happily accommodate them! When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide plenty of cuddles, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I know how much pets mean to their families because I have several of my own, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I would give my own!
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while now. I mainly take care of my own pets and I am wanting to get into pet sitting. I have a dog and two cats back home. I promise your pets are in good hands!! I am a student at UNCW in need of a part time job! If we work together I can show you my class schedule - I am very flexible! Furry friends are so important to me. I absolutely love them and put so much love and care into them. I will walk them, love on them, feed them, and do whatever else they need:)
“Very sweet girl, has tons of experience with large and small dogs. She showed my baby love and patience (my dog is very energetic), will be booking her again next time!”
“Sadie S was the best walker Gizmo has ever had. She was very reliable, patient, honest and kind. She was so good with my not so always people friendly Chiweenie. He loved his walks with her. I noted honest because when she contacted me, she explained that s she could only walk gizmo for two weeks because she was relocating and she understood you know if I wanted to go with somebody else and I appreciated that honesty. Very sorry to see her go.”
“5+ Stars for Allie and her son, who were amazingly flexible with fitting my furbaby into their schedule on a last-minute emergent need that I had. They showed up every day on time and followed my worried-mama intructions to the letter, LOL! Koda was very happy with their care, and I would use them again without a doubt.”
About: I've always grown up with dogs. I dont currently have any pets but have done pet sitting for friends and family for ages. I love all animals and am a very active person looking to spend time with more animals. I currently work full time from home and my schedule is flexible. I can accommodate early mornings, evenings and lunch time drop ins and walks. I have reliable transportation and am very active. I look forward to adding a companion to one of my favorite activities- walking! I also have flexibility for day time drop ins.
About: Aside from having animals my entire life, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I care for every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I intentionally spend quality time with each animal — whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to help reinforce training for puppies as well. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind too 🐾 I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule where I can work anywhere and take many breaks. I can take same day/emergency request as well. I give lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s play, cuddles, enrichment activities, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s personality — some love constant interaction, while others prefer a more relaxed and quieter environment, and I adjust accordingly.

About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a student at UNCW and am looking to pet sit during my free time. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about animals, and I would love the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.
