About: Hi there everyone! Please scroll to the bottom and read our policy before booking! But before you go let us tell you about ourselves! My family and I have always owned dogs. I grew up with them and trained them all my life. My step mother even owns a rescue. So what better way to use the land of our family’s farm to also take care of other peoples dogs! We are located here in the northern part of Alamance County. Here we have 98 acres of land with several walking trails next to a flowing creek, a clean and swimmable pond with a shallow area for the small dogs, a gated outside area with 4 separate runners for the cool days with a nice breeze, and inside luxury crates equipped with barn doors and beds inside of them for all of our furry visitors to relax and feel right at home! From dog training to now dog boarding here at The Retreat we want your pet to have their own get away while you have your own get away! Currently I am a Realtor and own my Real estate business so I’m usually always working from home unless I’m running to show a home. While I’m out I have my wife and the rest of my family to cover my spot until a I return so your pet should always have someone there to care for them! Here your pet will always have someone to care for them so you can trust your pup to be in the best of hands. We also offer clip on air tags for your dogs collar while they stay here for extra safety and surveillance, separated luxury crates to sleep and eat in so they feel safe and secure at any time, and nothing but a stimulated environment where they can run and play as much as they want all within in 98 acres of fenced in land.

“Essence was wonderful to my golden girl! She provided me with information about her visit and was patient with honey when she had an accident after getting excited. Definitely will book for future needs!”


“Mariel is an excellent communicator and I highly recommend her. She took great care of our cats while we were away. When we arrived home, our cats were all happy and I could tell they had been given lots of attention and care while we were away.”


“Gemma did a great job taking care of our three cats for the weekend! I'll definitely book her again when we are out of town. She even got check in pictures of our one notoriously shy cat who doesn't like strangers as much. I was impressed!”


“Erika was fantastic with both of our dogs.”


“Lindsay is amazing. She took great care of my 7 week tiny puppy. She even suggested to break up visits since she was so small. My Lexi had bad separation anxiety. She would get sick. She suggested a stuffie pup and it worked great! She even washed some dishes! She instantly made me feel comfortable leaving my little Lexi ❤️”


About: ***ASK ME HOW YOU CAN SAVE $20 OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING!!*** I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. My mother was a dog sitter when I was younger so that has made me comfortable around most if not all breeds. I would help her with the feeding while she took them out. Now that I’m older I have two huskies and a cat. My goal is to eventually have farm animals, mainly as pets 😂. So, my love for animals is quite enormous. Right now I’m in school, online mainly at the moment. I also deliver food for people to their homes or jobs. Majority of the time I’m at home. I have a huge yard, 2 acres worth. About 1/2 an acre is fenced in for the dogs. I have 2 spunky huskies well one tends to be more lazy than anything and I have a cat that loves our dogs.

“Sommer did a fantastic job with our cat. She was prompt, kept us informed, and took the time to play and brush Brody, which he loves. Very dependable with a great demeanor. Would definitely recommend for your pets.”


About: I’ve had dogs for 10 years. Dogs are not just pets, they’re family. I have experience giving medications if needed from experience with my own dogs. I’d be honored to be trusted with the care of your furry family member. I do have a part time job but I am flexible with my availability. If you need regular/ consistent care I am open to make my availability work. I regularly take my own dogs on long walks. I am very thorough and make sure to spend as much time as I can to make your baby happy and tail wagging. I have experience giving medications to my own pups and I’m open to offering that service as well. I’d be more than happy to send pictures as well so that you have peace of mind.

“I can’t thank Kristi enough for the love and care she gave my pup while I was away. From regular updates and adorable photos to thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and routine, I truly felt at ease the whole time. Highly recommend to any pet parent looking for peace of mind and genuine care!”


“Draven was a wonderful pet sitter for us during our trip! I'm super appreciative of the consistent updates and pictures that she sent throughout the stay :)”


“An absolutely amazing sitter. Above and beyond because this is what brings her joy. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!”


About: I am an animal person, but dogs are my favorite! I am available to walk your dog, feed them, show them love when you aren't around. I know that animals are like family and intend to make them feel your love while you are away. My children are animal lovers too! I have been dog sitting, dog walking, and loving on fur babies for about 10 years. I am new to Rover and can't wait to meet more sweet fur babies. You can ensure that your animals and home are in good care while you are away. I will love them like I would want mine loved on when I am away. I work full time but work several days remote. I am able to come to your home before work, on my lunch break, and after work to check in, give potty breaks, or take for a walk. Weekends are wide open. I can occasionally stay overnight with them. I know animals are family too and I intend to treat them that way. You can feel comfortable while you are away, and they are in my care.

“Maeve offered to come meet Ruby ahead of time, then came exactly when we needed her to on the day we were away. Would definitely recommend her!”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from loyal German Shepherds and playful pit bulls to energetic labs, cuddly chihuahuas, and high-energy doodles. My experience also extends to caring for cats, ducks, and even fish, making me a versatile and trustworthy companion for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am a teacher during most of the year, but I love working with animals. I am trying to build my summer with pet sitting, dog walking, etc to keep myself active and busy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. However, in your home I will keep the schedule/routines you use and ensure your pet gets plenty of cuddles and care.
