About: Surrounded by the delightful chaos of wagging tails and gentle purrs, I've been a lifelong animal lover. Our home is a vibrant mix of the playful antics of cats and the loyal companionship of dogs. My husband and I are proud parents to Stanley, our beloved Boston Terrier who's been with us since he was a pup—now nearly 13 years old! Adding to the joyful mayhem, we welcomed Beau, a 70lb Black and Tan Coonhound Mix, into our family last year through adoption. Recognizing the profound role our furry friends play in our lives, I've extended my passion for pets by frequently dog-sitting for friends when they travel. I'm no stranger to the energy and love that our four-legged family members bring into our lives. With daily 2-mile walks with Beau, I ensure our pets stay active and happy. My active lifestyle extends to playtime too, and with two small children, there's never a shortage of energy and enthusiasm in our home. I'm excited to share this love and care with your furry friends, ensuring they feel right at home and receive the attention they deserve. As a devoted pet owner, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I prioritize scheduled feeding times, ensuring my furry friends receive nutritious meals. Regular exercise is a fundamental part of our routine, whether it's daily walks, playtime sessions, or interactive activities that keep them mentally stimulated. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. For in-home pet care, I maintain a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, play sessions, and walks to cater to their physical and mental needs. In my own home, I provide a secure and pet-friendly environment, ensuring they have designated spaces for relaxation and play. I incorporate their routines seamlessly into my daily schedule, creating a sense of familiarity and stability. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I adapt to their unique environment and routines. This includes following specific feeding schedules, maintaining cleanliness, and providing companionship to alleviate any stress or anxiety. I strive to create a seamless transition for the pets, maintaining their established habits and surroundings. Whether in my home or a client's, my approach is centered on personalized attention, love, and a commitment to ensuring the pets feel safe, happy, and cherished throughout their time under my care.

“Breanna was so kind and watched our dog on short notice while we were in town for a few hours. Cali had a great time with her!”
9. Abby H.
“Abby has been a close friend of mine for almost three years now and to this day the first thing I think of when I think of her is animals. Abby is who she is because of animals and every animal she comes into contact with, leaves her better than how they came. Needless to say, anyone’s pets would be in the best of hands with Abby’s care and passion for their wellbeing.”

About: I have done childcare for over 20 years, and now I want to focus on homeschooling my kids. Pet care is a natural fit for our family as we have had a dog and a cat for 15 + years. I will offer daily and weekend (Thursday to Sunday)overnight stays, and will make sure your dog gets enough exercise. Meals will be in the morning (at about 8am), and evening (at about 5pm). We live on a large tract of land, over 8 acres, with a large outdoor kennel (10ft x 25ft). It has a portion of artificial turf, and is in the shade. We can brush your dog if you would like. A synopsis of your dogs likes and dislikes is helpful, as well their daily routine. Open communication is our specialty and we will daily send you photos and updates of your pet, to keep you connected. We own a labrador, and love him to bits!! We moved from MN to NC in August 2022, and have a large piece of land for exercise, close to the beach (mins by car) and parks for walks. **If you need a longer stay it can be arranged** I homeschool my kids. One is older and needs guidance only, the other two are 10 and 13. Pet care is perfect, as homeschooling is flexible, and my kids love animals too. I am caring, loving and firm. I am great with scheduling, having run a childcare from my home for 18 years. I love to be outside and walk, so will enjoy taking my dog and yours, for walks. I am also an excellent communicator and would appreciate plenty of communication, if I left my furbaby with a sitter. :) Looking forward to being a home away from home for your furbabies.
11. Destyn S.
“I cannot recommend Destyn enough for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring petsitter and dog walker. Destyn has been taking care of my 66 lb. pitbull, Gordon, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic! Her love for animals, especially dogs, is truly remarkable. There isn't an animal she doesn't like, and it's evident in the way she interacts with furry friends. Gordon, my pitbull, instantly connected with her, and I attribute this to Destyn's genuine passion for the well-being of animals. What sets Destyn apart is not just her love for dogs, but also her exceptional communication skills, kindness, and responsibility. She keeps me updated on Gordon's activities and well-being, providing me with not only pictures, but also peace of mind knowing he's in good hands. Her commitment to the job goes beyond expectations, and she truly goes the extra mile to ensure both the owner and the dog are happy. I have to mention the delightful dynamic between Gordon and Destyn's own dogs, Kit and Petrie. It's heartwarming to see how well they get along, creating a positive and playful environment for all the pups involved. In addition to being a fantastic dogsitter, Destyn's dog walking skills are top-notch. She not only walks them, but also plays with them and gives them plenty of treats and praise, making the whole process enjoyable for both her and the pup! Her dedication to providing the best care for dogs is truly commendable. If you're looking for someone who is not only good with animals but also communicative, kind, and goes above and beyond in their role, Destyn is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly trust Destyn with Gordon and recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and loving dogsitter and dog walker. Thanks a million, Destyn, for being Gordon's second-best friend!”

“Haley is a loving person and friend, making her an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter. My dog has separation anxiety but Haley’s calm demeanor and loving personality make him feel comfortable and less stressed when I have to leave town without him. She also takes wonderful care of my kitties and no one is lacking cuddles while I’m gone. She always leaves the house tidy which makes a difference when you come home from traveling. I’m thankful to have her to call on when I need someone to keep my babies. She’s the best!”
