“Martine was a great sitter for my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates while he was with her and I appreciated the communication. I will book with her and her husband again!”


“My dog, Milo, spent a long weekend with Valerie. She was quick to respond to my check ins and sent pictures of Milo enjoying his time with her dogs. She took great care of him and he came home happy.”


“Jessica and Shayne did a phenomenal job with little Britain this past week! They were exceptionally patient while she settled in and expertly accommodated her every need. We also received some beautiful photos that would be comparable to the work of a professional pet photographer! We would gladly leave her with them again in the future.”


“Vanessa and her fam took great care of Percy! He was so comfortable there and her sweet senior pups were good companions during the stay. Vanessa was very attuned to any of Percy’s particular needs or habits and treated him like part of the family.”


“Isabel was the perfect pup sitter!! Our dog takes medicine and has separation anxiety; isabel gave him so much love and attention to cure that anxiety! We loved receiving so many amazing photos of our pup while he stayed with her seeing he was having such a great time. Highly recommend!”


“Sloane was super responsive to my messages both before and during Oliver’s stay. She sent lots of feedback and photos and just made our little guy feel at home. He was reluctant to stay initially but immediately got comfortable after she showed him the toy box. She even supplied a potty pad in her bathroom so he could get up during the night like he does at home. She spent lots of time taking home outside for potty breaks and even a sunrise walk. We would happily have Oliver stay with Sloane again.”


“Our dog Maxy loves staying with Deanna! She has a blast and Deanna sends frequent updates to let us know how she’s doing. Will definitely ask Deanna to watch Maxy again!”


“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”

“Grace was the best dog sitter I could have asked for!! She’s going to be the only person I ask to watch Freddie in Raleigh from now on. He is fairly anxious and it seemed like he had a great time going on walks (or being carried…) and playing with Grace’s two dogs. She was also super flexible when my flight got delayed coming home and sent plenty of pics while I was gone.”



“Brittany was great! Responsive and gave updates with pictures along the way. My pup loves playing with other dogs and hers was a great companion for mine. Highly recommend. Will be booking again for sure!”

“Kayla is kind, responsive, and was great with Keke. She updated me daily with some photos, was accommodating, and resourceful. When my dog got sick she communicated with me & followed my instructions to help her recover. She was very patient during this time. Bentley & Keke had a good time together.”
