We will definitely be using them again in the future.”

About: I speak dog. I am a natural born doggie mom. Dogs like me and I like them. We just get each other. I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by dogs. Twenty years ago I started up a pet care company on a fluke, just for fun, and it took off like gangbusters and grew to be the second largest pet care company in that town. Then I sold it to a single mom who had been working with me when I moved out of the area. I have started businesses from scratch and grown them using processes, systems and technology to stay organized and professional. I limit the number of dogs I care for so that they all get individualized attention. I also make sure that any dogs that join the pack are screened to make sure they are healthy and friendly with all the other dogs so everyone gets along. I have a huge doggie apartment in my home for everyone to hang out in and a large fenced in yard for them to all play in. I work from home and love being surrouned by dogs. We provide constant supervision while your dog is visiting. Someone will always be with the pack except for brief breaks to run an errand of take a potty break. I work remotely from home as a business and career coach. So, I am home all day and I have a housemate who is my assistant pack pal to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and well taken care of during their entire visit with us. Dogs in our care are never left unattended for longer than a few minutes to an hour at most. Safety and socialization are our priorities. We have designated drop off and pick up times of 7:30 am - 9am drop offs and 4 - 6 pm pick ups. We provide a large clean, safe, comfortable indoor space for dogs to play, lounge, and get lots of tummy rubs. There is also a large covered patio area and fenced in yard for pups that like to play outside and get their zoomies on. We will feed dogs according to their routine and ownders' requests. We will give approved treats to visiting pack pals on owner's approval. We provide a balanced environment and routine for pups to play or rest and relax, and make friends to supervised socialization that empowers them and builds their confidence. We welcome new pack pals into our home as if they were one of our furry family members. We don't use crates of kennels. Everyone is treated like an honored guest and given space to roam and relax in a cozy home environment. I have a whole area of my home in the basement that is designated as the pack pals play pen with a huge fenced in yard for them to play in. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please. The entire doggy den is supplied with lots of comfortable dog beds and a doggy couch for dogs to nap and sleep. We don't use crates of kennels, unless a doggy parent has crate trained their dog and prefers that we crate their dog at night to sleep. Dogs are given a nice balance of a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor space to play and sleep over, as well as a fenced in dog yard and covered patio for potty breaks and play time in the sunshine. We also subscribe to a pooper scooper service that comes mutliple times per week to keep the yard clean and healthy.

We have booked with Wynne before & we are always grateful when she is available! Kind, flexible & so good at communicating while we are away! The daily updates & pictures make me feel at ease. She has always treated our dog with excellent care- we highly recommend her to anyone who is obsessed with their dog & wants the best!

Felix had an absolutely wonderful time with Megan! She gave him so many special activities and attention just for him. We mentioned that he because of his diet he can’t have treats, but he loves ice and they went straight to pick up ice for him, took him to the on walks and to a dog park an even had a special movie night just for Felix! And on top of all that she kept us updated with these wonderful descriptions of what their activities were an absolutely amazing pictures of him 😍 I couldn’t recommend a sitter any better than I can for Megan especially since she was willing to accommodate taking care of Felix at a very last minute request absolutely wonderful lady

KaLynn was absolutely wonderful in every way. We felt so comfortable leaving our fur babies with her and had total confidence that they would be well cared for and she did not disappoint! She sent us pictures and videos (which we loved getting) every day and I could tell that both of our pups were happy and comfortable. My husband's daily schedule can be a little unpredictable and KaLynn was flexible and accommodating for our dropoff and pickup times. We were thrilled with the level of care our pups received and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Swathi took excellent care of my dog! She followed all my instructions and sent regular updates. I definitely recommend booking with her!

Heather never fails to give our pup all the love, attention and care that he needs. I doubt that he notices we are away! We highly recommend your pet to her care.

Carie did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our dog, Obie, while we were in Florida. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates with thoughtful messages, adorable pictures, and even a video, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Obie clearly loved spending time with her, and it was obvious he was in excellent hands. She also did a wonderful job socializing him, helping him make a few new friends, and ensuring he stuck to his scheduled diet. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention she gave him, it truly felt like she treated him as her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated to watching your pet, Carie is absolutely the best choice. Highly recommend her!

Tiffany and Ryan took such good care of our girls - during the hurricane no less! They went above and beyond to keep us informed and even helped direct us with our drive from Charlotte to AVL. We are so grateful to them for caring for our girls like family and are so grateful that Tiffany, Ryan and Maggie made it through the storm safely. Thanks again for everything!
