“Outstanding! Truffles was spoiled by Rose on her beautiful farm! Rose was very responsive with her communication and was flexible with our needs. Highly recommend if you need a dog sitter in the OBX area!!”


About: Our family loves dogs! Currently, we have a Bloodhound and two smaller beagle mixes. My children have grown up around dogs their entire lives and we all truly enjoy snuggling, loving, and exercising with our canine friends. Enjoy a worry free vacation, and give your dog a vacation too! I’m a public educator, so I’m at home afternoons and evenings, on weekends, holidays, and all summer. I have a 26 year old college student who is home when I am not. During the week, we can provide care with a combination of adults and kids coming in and out at various times of the day, and there is almost always 100% supervision available. We have a fenced yard, four energetic canine playmates, two energetic human female (11 & 14) playmates, and a whole lot of extra time and love for our potential guests! We do have crates if preferred at night, but our dogs sleep where they choose. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and plenty of snuggles. We have a large fenced in back yard. Out doggy visitors usually sleep on the carpeted floor in the room of the hooman of their choosing. We find our guests usually bond with and adopt a specific person for their stay. It is always fun finding out who it will be for each one. An adult is present in our home at all times. I work in public education, and I am home afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We have a college student in residence. My two girls are homeschooled, and are also present and thrilled to spend time with our guests. We have a large fenced in yard and plenty of living space. Our dogs have the run of the home and are allowed on the furniture.

“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”


“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”


“Rachael and her family were life savers for a last-minute booking! Our dog has little “quirks” that make him not the easiest dog of the bunch but they were so patient and understanding! We could tell Reddy was very comfortable. They’re super friendly to chat with as well! Hope to see them again!”
