“Amy was wonderful. I left her with 2 dogs that are senior citizens and they came back every day very happy, very energetic still, they had an amazing time by the smiles on their faces. So i'm ecstatic about that! It was easy to get to her property. She provided check ins throughout their stay and the communication was great”


“James did a great job with our dog. It was last minute, and he was able to accommodate. When we dropped her off, she just walked into the place like she owned it. I figure if my dog is comfortable doing that, then I should be comfortable leaving her there. Will definitely reach out to James again next time we're in the area.”


“Rosie & James have a dream yard for dogs to play in. We are so thankful they were able to board our fur babies at a last minutes notice on a Sunday. Cooper & Cody we’re very happy when we left them and appeared very happy & comfortable in the picture updates we received while they were taken care of at this loving families home. Would definitely book through them again should we be in the area. Thanks again Rosie & James. Take care and hope to see you all soon in the near future ?❤️?”

About: I have a decade of experience with animal care, both in pet sitting and animal rescue. Please reach out for dog day camp or boarding needs. I am available from early morning until 10 PM, allowing me to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. For pups that come to day camp or board with us, we start our mornings going for walks, followed by breakfast and a little relaxation time out doors. Then we head out for a hike in the woods to burn off energy and get plenty of time to explore and socialize with the pack. I arrange a meet and greet with the pet and owner to understand the pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I am Pet CPR and Safety certifiied and make your pet's safety and security a top priority.

“Emily was AMAZING!! Very friendly and accomodating, and frequently kept me updated. Athena was even immediately comfortable with Emily's husband, which *never* happens because she is wary of men. We used the same sitter in Asheville for almost two years, and Athena rarely acknowledged her husband. Emily and her husband made a great team watching after Athena, making sure she was well-exercised and cared for, and even sweet Kitana got involved :) I can't say enough positive things about this family and our experience. We used them for an entire week and will book again soon!”


“Lisa was wonderful with my dog! She was able to watch her for daycare after I booked last minute. Great communication and sent me photos throughout the day! Would definitely trust her with my dog again :)”


“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”

“Christal was great! My pup, who is often initially sad when we leave her with a sitter, loved Christal immediately and had a great time. She went above and beyond, taking my dog on a long walk at Forest Park. Wish I was a local so I could re-book!”
