1. John B.
“John was awesome. Our dog Jake had a blast playing with the other dogs. And, John keeps t us posted with pics and videos and was extremely quick to respond whenever we reached out to him. His house/yard is set up great for hosting dogs. Large yard. Highly recommend him and we will be using him again”
2. Eric C.
“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
3. Courtney & Kailee B.
“Courtney was awesome with our dog. Very nice and was in touch with us to update us on how our dog was in the new environment. She has a great setup for dogs, and had some great tips for helping our dog leash train! Thank you!”
4. Ricardo M.
“Mabel had so much fun staying with Ricardo while we went on vacation. She enjoyed making new friends. This was the first time she stayed with someone she wasn't familiar with so she had a little anxiety at first but Ricardo was able to comfort her and she warmed right up making herself at home. Ricardo kept us updated daily on how our girl was doing and sent pictures which made us more comfortable leaving her. We will definitely be using Ricardo again!”
5. Cheyenne W.
“We absolutely love having Cheyenne dog sit our energetic senior pup named Chief. She is commutative, flexible, understanding, and provides Chief with the same love and care he gets at home. Our pup enjoys playing with her pup and always feels right at home. I would highly recommend you utilize her dog sitting services! Thank you Cheyenne for your kindness and compassion. We appreciate you.”
6. Amy M.
“Amy is the best!!! She took my reservation request super last minute and my dogs were well taken care of. We received pictures to let us know how they were doing with her. Will definitely use her again! Thank you Amy!!”
7. Kimberly G.
“Kimberly watched my German Shepherd Terrier, Stevie, over the weekend and we couldn't have had a better experience! She was very responsive and accommodating from the very first message I sent until we picked Stevie up. She sent me pictures of Stevie throughout the weekend and I could see how much fun they were having and was not worried or anxious at all. We could see how happy (and tired!) Stevie was when we picked her up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to watch your pup!”
8. Destiny P.
“Destiny was great and so accommodating! She sent numerous pictures of Copper everyday and kept me updated on how he was doing. He seemed to love being there!! Will definitely use again.”
9. Theresa F.
“Theresa and her family took wonderful care of our English Bulldog, Gary. He was worn out when he returned home and we had peace of mind that he was being loved on and made to feel at home with them! Thank you!!”
10. Hailey B.
“Hailey was great ! She spent lots of time with Crowley and I can tell he was comfortable with her! Definitely would re book!”
11. Jon M.
“Jon has been a great sitter for Jinger, we're glad we found him. Our trips are better knowing she's being care for well. We truly appreciate Jon and 100% recommen him for your pet care. Thank you so much Jon!!!!”
12. Tracy H.
“Our maltese/poodle mix Banjo had a wonderful vacation with Tracy and her "brood". She kept us up to date with daily photos and notes. We would highly recommend Stacy to watch your little guy.”
13. Mindy S.
“Mindy was THE BEST. We have two dogs that are used to a lot of interaction- and they were more than happy with her in her lovely home. We received lots of photos and videos which made us feel able to enjoy our stay in the OBX. Highly recommend.”
14. Rose N.
“We were very pleased with Rose's care of Louis and Sassy. We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family so this was a first. Rose has lots of room for dogs to run around which was great since Louis especially is young and needs a lot of exercise. Rose showed us around and explained everything at her disposal for boarding. They were happy when we dropped them off and that made us feel at ease. We were able to enjoy the Labor Day weekend knowing our pups were in good hands! We will be sure to use Rose next time we head to Outer Banks and need to board our dogs.”
15. Barbara G.
“Barbara was by far the best dog sitter I have ever had. When we dropped him off, she already had me at ease explaining how she introduced the newest dogs one at a time and fed them separately. She has a great property, fenced in back yard with a pool for the dogs to play in. She sent pictures and videos daily and our dog was completely worn out when we picked him up! He ran back to her door and did not want to get in the car. Any animal is in great hands with Barbara.”
16. Flannery S.
“There’s no one else that I would trust with my pets like Flannery! She is so knowledgeable and caring, a true animal lover. I have three dogs and a cat, two old senior dogs and one young pup and cat. She’s so gentle with my older dogs, but can still give the young ones the right amount of attention and exercise! I was also impressed to learn she’s not only good with dogs and cats, but animals of all sorts! She’s lived on a ranch and worked with horses her whole life. HIGHLY recommend!!”
17. Carl C.
“Carl has always been an animal lover. He has a soft passionate side for all animals. He especially loves chocolate labs as he recently lost his best friend of twelve years, Toffee, to lung cancer and got Pippin shortly after whom he adores. When he was younger he had a tuxedo cat who would walk past everyone in his house and would meow “Carulll”. Animals love him. Hands down I would recommend him for this position. Your pets will also love him as he is fabulous with all of his interactions with all animals.”
18. Kelsi S.
“Kelsi goes above and beyond for the animals she cares for. She’s watched my animals (1 cat 1 dog) for 3 years now. She connects quickly with them. Is good about keeping up to date and sending pictures of pups as well. My dog, Bronx, has special needs and I had no worries leaving her in the care of Kelsi. Will definitely rebook!”
19. Kristin O.
“Kristin was amazing at watching our sweet boy! She sent us constant updates with photos and videos. Her passion for animals made it really easy for us to choose her as our sitter. I would recommend her to all of my friends!”
20. Laura H.
About: My name is Laura and I am come from a long background in animal care in zoos and aquariums and have animal training experience using positive reinforcement (operant conditioning). I would be happy to help train your pet/animal or take them on long walks. I love being outside and have had dogs my whole life. I currently have two dogs of my own, a pit/lab mix and an Australian cattle dog. I currently work Monday-Friday, but am available on weekends anytime (Saturday and Sunday) and some evenings (6-8pm) on weekdays. I would be happy to come by your place several times throughout the day/evening to care for your pet. Safety is my number one priority. When I take animals for walks we are safe around other animals and people. I have two friendly dogs that love to play that and would be happy to socialize your dog with mine as long as they get along with other animals.
