“Lucia is fantastic. She kept my young energetic dog and my old sensitive nervous couch potato! When I picked them up they were both happy and content. I received frequent photos and texts throughout the day along with an end of day report. Will definitely return and also use for overnight boarding.”


“My girl Rizzo LOVES hanging at Alexandria’s house and I enjoy working with her! She sends great pictures and updates, Rizzo gets so excited to go over there so I know she is being well cared for.”


“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”


“Jeannette was very attentive to my dog’s needs. She was updating me throughout the day and were able to recognize Mia’s behaviors. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy day care. And her puppy is incredibly friendly and adorable, too. Makes for an amazing companion for your pet.”


“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”



“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”


“Jayme was an absolute lifesaver! I reached out to her last minute, and she kindly took in my 18-month-old Lab puppy on a Sunday. He’s playful and full of energy, but Jayme handled him with care and confidence. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her, and I’ll definitely be using her services again!”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and I miss having dogs! I openly welcome any opportunity to hang out with them. As a cat mom I don’t just drop in, I make sure kitties get some stimulation and of course many, many pets! I’m currently taking a break from work so I’m very available any day of the week and any time (with exception of the occasional holiday where I might be out of town :P) We have a large, fenced backyard that our kitties absolutely love. Any attempt to escape has been squashed and all possible escape routes have been covered. We don’t have any kids so we have space inside for any pets to snuggle inside comfortably.

About: You go away? Pet needs to stay? I’m here to play! I have always loved dogs and cats and lived with one or both almost every day of my life. Once I see an animal I love and care for them as if they were my own. When you leave your animal with me, they will miss you, but they will still feel very loved while you’re gone. I have experience with administering medication and I am comfortable cleaning up typical or atypical messes or accidents. Petsitting is my passion. I love dogs and cats so much but there’s only so many I can keep in my home, so when you hire me, I guarantee your pet will feel loved when you are gone. Work-wise, pet sitting is my #1 priority. If I sit in your home, I will “live” there, as much as is comfortable to you. I have 2 friendly cats, a private, quiet and spacious backyard to run and play with a 6ft fence surrounding the house and garage, with a motion detected flood light. I live with my boyfriend who recently completed his rabies shots after trying to rescue a cat that he witnessed being hit by a car but could not leave it to suffer. We both grew up caring for animals of our own and fully believe that animals deserve every good thing we can give them. We have a baby gate that allows our cats to get to their food and litter boxes and will prevent the dogs from getting to the cat spaces. We have a kitchen, dining room, living room and a bedroom for dogs to spend time with me or have alone time in their crate (at least in their own space if they’d prefer). If I pet sit in your home, I will care for your animals and home as if they were my own. I will try to keep their lives as normal as possible, play with their favorite toys, talk and sing to them.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have an affinity for animals. I have raised two dogs since puppyhood. I love them and look forward to providing care for families in the area. I work from home and am available during the day to care for dogs in my home. I can provide feeds, walks, and plenty of exercise as we have a huge yard ready for play! I have a fully fenced yard and two dogs at home who are ready to play! We also have a large home with plenty of space.


“We were on vacation from Louisiana during the fourth of July weekend and needed one day to ourselves with out Sara. Katie did wonderful. She constantly was sending pictures and updates. Sara was just exhausted when we got home, and slept like a beauty on the 8 hour drive home the next day. If I lived in the area I would defiantly be a repeat customer!”


“Duke enjoyed his stay with Abriana and we enjoyed being able to relax and not worry about what's going on with Duke. We received pictures and updates on him during his visit that helped put us at ease. It was wonderful.”



“first time in doggy day care and it worked out perfect per Danielle . she is a great person and if needed i deffently would bring my girl back because she seemed to have a good time. thank you Danielle”


About: No special skills...just love animals...willing to help you with your family pets because life gets busy...military brat and wife all my life ...retired and have land and building our home here... Right now I have two huge inside boy kitties..and a long hard Chihuahua and a Chihuahua terrier mix and a lab shephard mix they are all neutered and older gentlemen...I have had pigs, goats, cattle, horses, sheep, rabbits, hamsters, fish, chickens still, cats, dogs and a iguana on weekends in 8th grade LOL...I can walk your babies hold them spoil them and take care of any special needs they might have but I'm not medically trained . My availability is open most all the time and time is what I have right now...Looking forward to hearing from you....

About: Since the age of 23, I have independently cared for three dogs entrusted to me by my mother. This ongoing responsibility has required daily attention to their feeding, grooming, and exercise routines, strengthening my time management, reliability, and caregiving skills. Since I stay at home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets and easily work it into my daily schedule . When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment with regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and stay in touch with owners with updates and photos.

About: I've had dogs all of my life aging from newborn puppies to 13 years old. I have trained multiple puppies basic commands like sit, come, speak, and lay down. I can also work on potty training or just play and love your dog. I currently stay at home with my 8 month old baby and the sweetest fur baby. I sometimes have to go to our chicken houses but I can crate your dog for at most an hour or they can venture out with me! I live back off the road on a chicken farm. We have a very long driveway I can take your dog for a walk on. Also, we have a big yard so they will have plenty of room to run and play. I do have the ability to crate your dog if need be.

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds. It started when I was a little girl and I was constantly bringing animals home with me! During my husband's time in the USAF, we moved around for 26 years and in our final tour, we were stationed near a dog grooming school. I decided to go to school while grooming my own dogs at home! I was disappointed one afternoon after spending 8 hours grooming my dogs that I didn't have more to groom! Once my husband retired from the Air Force we were able to build my shop. I have owned the Grooming Gazebo for 9 years now and have decided to expand my business! I have added the Getaway for dogs to be able to stay while their parents are on vacation! I absolutely love dogs and especially love taking care of them! We have a 70 acre farm and your pup could enjoy long walks and a completely fenced in yard with a nice porch to sit on just in case they decide to hang out! If you would like to come check us out, please give us a call!
