About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for my a self proclaimed, Dog Dad! I have a one spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 2x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all kind of trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special need please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I’ve also grown up around lots of dogs and have one of my own! I currently am enrolled in ECU so I do have a class schedule and I work at a local restaurant a few times a week but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have a fenced in yard for my dog to be able to run around. When taking dogs outside I like to use a leash or make sure the area is fenced in when taking dogs out.

9. Tyler C.
“Tyler is great! He was very professional and took Brewer on a long walk that drained all his energy. My puppy was much calmer that night as he got plenty of playtime in the afternoon. Due to work it can be difficult for me to spend a proper lunch break with my dog, so Tyler really helped in that regard. You can tell he loves animals and can connect with them on their level. I’d recommend others to book Tyler as well.”

20. Mary Ann D.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. When my parents brought me home from the hospital as a newborn, I was greeted by a basset hound. Since then, I have spent everyday with a basset! However, I have experience with dogs all ages and sizes. I love to walk and be outside but also enjoy some snuggle time! I work remotely so I am relatively flexible. I usually take a lunch break (sometime between 11 and 1) so that would be a perfect time to play with your pet! I am also available mornings (6-8:30am) and evenings (4:30-9pm) after typical working hours. I am more flexible on weekends with no major commitments. We have a fenced in yard and grass for dogs to play on. We allow dogs on the first floor of our home in any room. Our dog sleeps in a mudroom not in a crate but we do have a crate.
