“Amy was great and got us in with a last minute need for doggie day care! We got plenty of picture updates and they had a great time!”

Mike R.

“Thank you so much for an amazing day! Pork chop has missed being around others, and I can tell he really enjoyed being a part of your pack (both human and canine)! We will definitely book with you again!”

“Jimena took good care of our dog while we went to explore Grandfather Mountain and they only allow dogs in the nature discover center if one has a service dog. Next time we return to Boone, we will definitely reach out to Jimena especially when we plan to explore areas that do not allow fur babies. She created a lovely space for dogs to run and or relax. Thanks Jimena.”

“Emma is very kind and was accommodating to my two senior dogs. I felt like they were in safe hands for the day which allowed me to enjoy my visit. I hope to use her again. Thank you Emma!”

“Mrs.Kara is absolutely awesome. I have never felt more comfortable leaving Lola with someone. Lola walks into Mrs.Kara's home like she belongs there and comes home so sleepy from playing all day. Mrs Kara communicates so well and takes so many pictures! I will always choose Mrs.Kara!!”

Emma W.

“Karen took excellent care of our 1 year 2 months old golden retriever. We are highly satisfied with her service and would consider her for future.”

Anil S.

“Wonderful carers—very happy with the concern shown for my dogs. Location a bit off the beaten (e.g. paved) path.”

About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!

“Carola was an awesome host. We met her the day before and she put our minds at ease as this was the first time we left Penny at a daycare. Penny had a wonderful day with Carola and some other dogs. Thank you!”

“Melissa was great. We were traveling with our dog and wanted to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. Melissa's house was about 20 min from the bike rental shop in Damascus, and it worked out perfectly to drop off our dog for a few hours while we biked. She has a big fenced in the back yard.”

“We’re expecting our first child so it was so important to find the right sitter to watch our fur baby! He had a great time I loved receiving the pictures. I can’t thank Jill and her family enough!!!”

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs & cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, chickens, lizards, and a chinchilla. My love for animals is limitless & my goal is to improve the life of every animal I can reach. I am currently taking courses online to sharpen my skills pertaining to grooming, learning different breeds, training, diet & health. I have acquired many different brushes, supplements, flea combs, scissors and other supplies to keep your pet clean & tidy. I keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind. There is nothing I won't do to ensure the safety & happiness of your pet. Frivolous is not in my vocabulary 🫡 I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”

Emily M.

“10/10 experience, definitely would recommend! Makia was attentive, friendly, thoughtful, and she made our dog feel right at home for the day! She really went above and beyond. Definitely someone you can feel safe leaving your pets with.”

“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”

Christina C.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”

About: I have 20+ years of canine experience, providing expert care for dogs of all ages. I have experience working with both young puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met with care and attention. I am skilled in training and handling, and providing safe transportation. I have managed, owned and operated doggy daycares, ensuring daily play, socialization, and individualized attention. Every dog in my care receives loving, professional, and reliable care. As a dog mom myself, pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I pride myself on owning happy animals by providing constant care and attention. In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

About: I have taken care of pets of friends and family members for many years and had pets as a kid. I now have my own golden retriever who loves to have other animals to play with. I am currently available to be home during the day on both weekends and weekdays to provide lots of play time and attention to your pet. I am a full time student but am currently on break. I have a very spacious house with plenty of room for the pets to run around and play. I have a membership at the local dog park to take them there to play as well. They will always have a buddy to play with as I have a one year old golden retriever who is very friendly to all.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and I love them with all my heart. I’m chronically ill with fibromyalgia and I’m home most of the time. I would give adequate attention and smooches to the dogs. 🖤 I’ve also had puppies and had senior dogs. I currently doordash part-time but my fibromyalgia kicks my butt most days. I’m usually home with plenty of free time and affection for the doggies 🖤 I live in an apartment that is two stories. It will have adequate room inside for most dogs and there is a small yard that they can potty on. Inside a client’s home I would make sure everything is safe and sound for the dog
