“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!”

“John did a great job with our pup. He was great about sending updates and pictures each day. Quick and easy communication. There is plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space. We will use John again when we need someone near the OBX.”

“Christianna was so great to my babies. Took them at the last minute and handled unsure/fearful cat with love and care. Will 100% use her services again if I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again Christianna!”

“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”

“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”

“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”

“Courtney is AMAZING! We have 2 very high energy dogs and I was very hesitant to leave them with anyone; Courtney kept us very updated and treated our babies like her own! We will be using her whenever we go out of town!! :)”

“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”

“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”


“Took very good care of my fur baby!! He even had to think twice about leaving and coming home with me! I was almost offended but so glad he felt safe, loved and comfortable! She even went out her way to buy him a new bone when he finished all of his! Already booking her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

“I can’t even begin to express how amazing Rose is and was to my panda for the week we were at the beach. Last minute I had to find petcare for our fur child. I came across Rose, she replied promptly, professionally, and reassured me with all the things I needed to hear to feel comfortable leaving our dog. We received pics everyday of panda !! Her farm and space for the dogs is incredible. We were convinced Panda was going to turn Into a farm pup and for sure had more fun there than with us at the beach haha! The world needs more humans like Rose. We can’t wait to visit next year when we are in town again :) thank you for loving our fur baby like your own it means the world to us !”

“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!!!!”


“Theresa & Phil we’re so great with my dog Kailo! We were on a weekend getaway in the outer banks and they were quick to say yes when we requested a booking! They welcomed us into their home to make sure all of the dogs got along well and took Kailo in as one of their own! They have a huge backyard and three wonderful dogs. Theresa sent pictures and updates all weekend. Kailo was having trouble eating and she gave him some of her own dog food to eat. They even sent us home with some extra food and treats! I would 100% recommend sending your fur baby to them to take care of! They were amazing ?”
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”

“Sabrina was awesome. When our dog Poppy had bad separation anxiety she gave her special attention and per our recommendation hand fed her a little chicken. This got Poppy calmed down and cooperative. Thank you for the extra effort Sabrina. You are the best.”

“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”


“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”

“This is our pups 2nd stay with Kristin, they love her and we're excited when we got to her house. They got lots of long walks and play time. Kristin was even able to trim their nails which is very difficult for our Shepard whom usually requires full sedation for pedicures. She's a dog whisperer for sure!”

About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. Can host only NON-SHEDDING BREEDS, due to family allergies. Must be house broken/trained (to potty outside), with the exception of puppies. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care stairs, I will ensure stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary unless that is your preference. Being on the furniture or bed in our home is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous for any reason such as thunderstorms, loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.
