“Kim was absolutely AWESOME with my poodle puppy! She is so kind, generous, and attentive…the kind of person you would want to look after a member of your family. She treated my fur baby like one of her own, and I know he had a blast with her kiddos and other dogs. Thank you for being amazing, Kim!”

About: I would love to care for your dog while you are away. I offer a large house with a quiet atmosphere for a loving and peaceful experience; 3 large yards for sniffing and walks; lots of attention; top-notch care; and a promise to treat them like they are my own. Your dog will not see or hear any drama in my house. I love dogs! I work from home, so your pet will not be left by themselves for long periods of time. Convenient location on Cardinal Drive in Wilson. I stay at home. A typical day for your pet would be them seeing me at my desk and being able to interact with me for most of the day. We have plenty of space for separation of pets, if needed. (5 bedrooms, large garage and 3 living rooms.) We do not have a fenced in yard, but hope to have one soon.

“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. The kids and I were apprehensive, but after meeting Mitzi, seeing her home, the kids and the other doggies,,,we felt at ease. Mitzi kept communicating with us about our beloved Ro’ & she sent us pics and vids of Ro’s adventures at her home. So glad that Ro had a great experience at Mitzi’s home😊.”

They took excellent care of my dog, proving lot of playtime and attention.I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back for future stays.”

15. Ben & Julie C.

“I had a great experience boarding my dog Lola with Ben and Julie. They sent pictures each day and took excellent care of her which really made me feel at ease while I was away. They were flexible when we experienced delays getting back and they communicated well throughout Lola’s stay with them. Lola had a great time and I know she enjoyed playing with her toys in the yard and going on walks during her stay. I am so glad to have found Ben and Julie and to know that they will care for Lola just as I would whenever I can’t be there with her.”

18. Michael G.
“Michael has spent a lot of time, as I'm a family friend, in my home. I have both cats and dogs, and they have just innately been attracted to him. He's always loved getting down on their level and interacting with them, whether it's affection or playing, I've been impressed with how he seems to naturally connect with them. He's also overall just a responsible human who is able to pay attention to the details of situation. I would absolutely trust him to care for my animals.”
