“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
“Natalie and her pup Otis are the best!! My pup can be nervous in new situations and she was wonderful with him. Otis is sweet and playful and happily welcomed my pup into his home. I got lots of pics and updates! Will be booking with Natalie again!😊”
“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”
“My dog Reese is so happy to spend the day with Arden! By our second and third visits, Reese had learned what it means when I say “you’re going to see your friend Arden today,” and she happy whines in the car when we get close to her house! Very grateful to have her as a backup parent for when I need a break.”
“We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether they need a nice long walk, some time playing fetch, casual company, or some pets. I'm your guy. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs who need special care or administering medication. I'm currently working from home so I am free for dog walks throughout the day and even boarding on weeknights or weekends. Feel free to book with me and even set up a recurring visit. I currently live in an apartment with my cat, Squeak. I work from home so I'm free to take your pet on walks throughout the day as they need and I'll treat them like one of my own. I can crate them as-needed or let them relax in my home if they're house trained.
“Karisa was amazing with our 5 month old lab. He adjusted perfectly fine and she sent updates and pictures. Will absolutely be coming to Karisa again in the near future. Thank you!!”
“My boys seemed very happy there, which makes my heart happy!! They love running and very much enjoyed Austin and Morgan’s beautiful backyard and the time outside. They came home content and also tuckered out. Very happy dog mom here :) Austin and Morgan were very responsive and kind during our communication pre and during daycare. We look forward to using them for an overnight this week and in the future.”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
About: Now booking for May and Beyond! Hi! I’m Garrett — I provide a safe, clean, and fun home for your dog while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I love staying active with walks and playtime, but I also make sure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed like they’re at home. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing 😊 I can host multiple friendly dogs at a time, so your pup can enjoy some social time if they’re comfortable around others. I also offer baths before pickup if you’d like your dog going home clean! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to take care of your dog! I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I always try to keep a consistent routine so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
“I’m so glad I found Daniela! You can tell that she is very kind, good natured and really cares for dogs. It was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but it worked out perfectly! She was very reassuring and communicated with me throughout Priss’ stay.”
“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”
“Julie was so sweet and caring to not only Lily but me as well. She’s really great with communication, sending multiple updates throughout the day and answering very quickly. I know Lily was well taken care of. Thank you Julie :)”
“Re’Anna was so kind and understanding. She was able to accept my last minute booking for doggy day care. Rambo had such a good time. Her kids were really good with him too! Definitely will be booking with her when I’m in the area again!!!”
About: I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs. I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my building’s fenced in private dog walk and playing fetch! I have a large dog crate if that is better for sitting/boarding but only if that is part of their normal routine. Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “cat proofing” the apartment and my unit has a good layout to separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog walk at my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc. I also have plenty of dog toys.
About: I have years of experience dealing with pets. I owned four pit bulls until their passing. Then, I owned four more for 2 years. I have pet sat for friends and family for 5 years. I had the luxury of pet sitting a raccoon and opossums. I currently own a 4-month-old toy poodle. I am in school, so I am available full-time because school is online right now. I prefer overnight appointments but anytime works. I'm usually home all day. IMPORTANT: For my safety, pick-ups and drop-offs should be before 6 pm. Pick-ups after 6 pm will incur a $20 fee. There is a big backyard for playing. I bring my poodle to the park for a jog in the mornings. I live by a big park for dogs as well.
About: I have over 5 years of pet care experience, with a strong focus on dogs of different sizes and personalities. Neighbors and friends often trust me to care for their dogs when they travel or are away for work. I regularly help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining routines, and I also have experience hosting dogs overnight in my home. I’ve additionally cared for cats and small pets, but dogs are my primary passion. I’m patient, responsible, and always prioritize safety and comfort. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog care. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays, and I can provide overnight boarding and extended care on weekends. I plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention so they never feel rushed or ignored. I focus strongly on safety, routine, and clear communication. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions. I always supervise interactions, keep doors and leashes secure, and make sure dogs feel calm and comfortable. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every dog with patience and care, just like my own.
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since I was 19. I absolutely love dogs, taking them on walks (or runs if needed!), and just giving them all my love. I’m working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to help out anywhere from once to probably three times a day if you want! I live in a two bedroom townhome with my 8 year old heeler. My dog is very sweet and likes to hang and walk with most dogs but can be shy when meeting a new friend. She is less excited about hyper furry friends but am happy to always do a meet and greet before booking.

This was our first visit with Jordy, our black lab, and he really enjoyed the stay. Dawn was great at communicating with us before and during Jordy's all day stay. She sent us pictures of him playing with Rice, napping and just hanging out. We will certainly choose Dawn again.
My dog came home exhausted in the best way possible! Dee took such great care of my little goofball and kept me updated with pictures! I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely compassionate toward animals. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Sloane is absolutely amazing! Finding someone you trust with your dogs can be tough, but she has completely restored my faith in pet sitters. Bear and Hamilton always come home happily exhausted and clearly well-loved. I feel so at ease leaving them in her hands. Absolutely recommend. Thank you Sloane
Ollie had a great time with Karissa and Robert (and family)! They kept him going and engaged with play as well as working on some training. They also communicated well and shared lots of pictures of their adventures. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Lauren did an excellent job looking after Koda. We felt very comfortable leaving Koda with her and I am sure that Koda got lots of attention and had a great time. We were visiting Raleigh for the weekend, when we visit again we hope she will be available to take care of Koda again. Thanks Lauren!
We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!
Austin and Morgan are the best!!! Their home is safe and reliable, I am lucky to have them whenever I need to travel to Raleigh with my pup. My dog recognizes their neighborhood and cries out with excitement when we turn up their street. I’m so grateful for them
Your doggie will be in wonderful hands. It’s clear that Mara loves animals and it shows in how she’s taken care of our pup. Mara is communicative, punctual, thoughtful, and updates us with great photos/videos throughout the day. And for Winnie - she lives her best life with Mara! She always comes home tired after a big day of walks, play time, and parks. We are so lucky we found Mara.
