“Clayton cared for my 2 dogs for a week & it was amazing being able to enjoy a holiday not worrying about my babies. He’s well educated & very responsive. We unexpectedly had to add an additional day to our board because of travel delays & he was very accommodating & reassuring. One of my pups is a border collie, could be hard to love if not your own but Clayton gave him amazing care & also when asked to give training advice was completely willing to help in any way necessary. Recently moving to NC it’s very comforting to have found a boarder that I feel 100% comfortable using again. 10/10 recommend.”


“As always, Macho LOVES staying at his home away from home. One month is the longest amount of time we had to be gone from him and it made it so much easier knowing he was with Ashley, Jon and their family. We appreciate knowing he is loved and cared for when we can't be with him!”


“Miranda watched our dog Jax for 10 days and provided excellent care. She was extremely communicative and sent frequent update videos of our dog. She is very friendly as well. Highly recommended for dog sitting !”


“Larissa was amazing! She took in my dogs last minute for a trip. She provided frequent updates, photos, and videos. She is very kind and knowledgable about dog behavior and correction. The most important part is my dogs were happy and enjoyed their stay. I will be using her services in the future and highly recommend her.”


“Amanda was awesome! And super flexible to last minute changes in our schedule. Hank had a great time and was well cared for, she was super patient with him and his recent pickiness with his food. We look forward to Amanda babysitting our pupper again.”


“Chastity watched our pup with short notice and did such a fantastic job. She’s very professional and introduces her own dogs one at a time. Willow was so tired after a few days of playing at her house and we were so grateful for it! Thank you so much!”


“Wonderful people with a friendly and beautiful dog. Really helped us out in a pinch and left me with a good piece of mind after drop off. Would absolutely recommend.”


“Talia was great she kept me updated on everything and was very quick to respond to messages. She took great care of my dogs while I was gone!”


“Cheryl is a great dog sitter, I highly recommend her! She responds promptly, treats your dog like family, and her house is spacious with a large fenced in backyard! She’s very nice and accommodating to whatever your dog needs! My dog Biggie had a great time there😊”


“Edwina was great with our epileptic dog and seemed experienced with every scenario she faced with him. Her and her husband ensured that he got his meds every morning and night and even stayed up with him on his first night there when he couldn’t sleep. I would absolutely recommend her services and will seek out her help if/when it’s needed again!”


“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“I had a great experience with Lanette! She took excellent care of my boy Winnie while I was out of town. She kept me updated with photos and even gave him a bath when he got dirty! Above and beyond what I expected. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you”


About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.

“Our cat had an excellent experience while boarding with Alexis! She provided regular updates with photos and videos, and we felt assured that our cat was in loving and capable hands. We returned to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Highly recommended!”


“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”


“Fantastic dog sitter! I will definitely use her again. Ginger was not stressed at all when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend KenLynn to anyone that wants to take a trip and not have to worry about their fur baby! You can tell from talking to KenLynn that she treats your fur baby like her own!”


“Deznae was awesome with Duke @ Ellie. Both of them went on plenty of walks. Both of them was extremely happy and they love Deznae. She me in the loop along with pictures that made my day. Yes I will rebook w/ Deznae again as well.”
