About: As a Family I’ve been taking care of pets for over 40 years. We took in bunnies, parakeets, dogs, cats. Especially close to my heart are senior pets. I am retired but help out with school drop off and pick up for my grandkids and watch them when they are out of school. They are all pet lovers and respectful of pets. I have a fenced in backyard and an elderly dog who loves spending time with other dogs I also go to friends and relatives houses to take care of their pets.

About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.

“Second time bringing my dog back to Jenna, she is awesome. Always sends updates on how he is doing with pictures and he loves going to stay with her. 100% will be going back to for her to watch my dog for a third time.”

About: When your dog stays with us, they are not simply being watched. They are being cared for by a professional training team with 17 years of hands-on experience behind every decision we make. We are not pet sitters. We are credentialed dog trainers who have worked with severe aggression cases, fearful rescues, feral dogs requiring full rehabilitation, sport and competition dogs, working breeds, and restricted breeds. We hold an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator certification, are Pet CPR certified, and carry multiple professional accreditations earned across nearly two decades in this field. We volunteer regularly with local shelters and are frequently called in for dogs that require serious structure and specialized handling. Puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, large breeds, and dogs with behavioral challenges are our everyday work, not a weekend hobby. Your dog's stay will not look like a typical boarding experience. Every single day includes a structured walk, focused basic obedience work, and daily photo updates sent directly to you. Our home has a dedicated trainer on property the majority of the day, with no more than a one to two hour window where dogs may be unsupervised. Evenings include an additional hands-on family member who is active with the dogs. Dogs board in a true home environment with free roam of the house, access to three twin dog beds, multiple elevated cots, rugs throughout, and a doggy door. Our yard is just over half an acre, fully enclosed with a six-foot fence on all sides, double lined on most sides with a buffer between. We have three designated outdoor spaces: an AstroTurf yard, a dedicated potty area, and a large open yard for running and play. Our six resident dogs are spayed, neutered, fully vaccinated, and current on all preventatives. They have lived alongside boarding guests for years and are social, settled, and genuinely enjoy new company. We accept a maximum of four boarding dogs at one time so every guest receives real attention, real structure, and real care. If you want your dog to come home having had a genuinely enriching experience in the hands of professional trainers, you are in the right place. We are not just pet sitters.

“Tianna was amazing and so sweet to our pup. She sent pictures and updates daily which helped me a lot throughout this whole process. Will definitely ask her again to watch our pupper! She's super patient and flexible which was great for our hectic schedule.”

Heather S.

“Such a lovely couple who took good care of my babies. Photos were sent for updating. Glad to know their cats were a good fit for one pup in particular! Would use again and highly recommend!”

Erin C.

“Cynthia and her lovely family will forever be the only people I trust with my boys in the Wilmington/Jacksonville area. So blessed to have found her!”

Bristyl D.

“Karleigh was fantastic!! This was my first time using Rover and was quite nervous. Karleigh took such great care of him and sent my photos and updates so I could see how much fun he was having!! She even gave him a report card to take home to show how good he did!! Karleigh truly took care of my little guy like he was her own!!!”

Sara C.

“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”

Laura C.

“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Mya took super amazing care of Aries while I was away fr 5 days. Her communication was prompt and provided tons of pictures and daily updates as i requested. Her home was very clean and Aries came home smelling great after her grooming service as well!! Aries looked loved, cared for, and super tired from all the play time! I will definitely use her again for boarding”

Oliver M.

“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”

Denise T.

“Zenita was amazing. Flexible drop off and pick up. Very informative, sending updates and pictures daily. I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks again for a great stay!!”
