“JeBecca absolutely LOVED her stay with Cheyanne and her family. Cheyanne sent several pictures everyday showing JeBecca playing with her other dogs/puppy. I am so thrilled that I have found such a loving family to watch over my fur baby when I have to go out of town. 10 out of 10, the BEST!”


“They really treated Sasha like family & kept me well informed with videos & pictures. We will definitely use them again. Once again, thank you for making Sasha’s stay comfortable for her & making us feel comfortable leaving her with you!!????”


“Nicole was so wonderful! If there were more stars, I would definitely give them. She was so communicative and kind. And I could tell she took care of my pups just like how I would. She sent tons of photos and quickly responded. I’m always a little anxious to leave my babies, but she eased all the worries. I hope to board with her again.”


About: I have always had a great love for animals. Since I was a child with my first rabbit, I have helped care for family, friends and neighbors pets. Through the years I have had several dogs and cats. I currently own a farm with donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens. Here at the daycare, I have my own dogs, guiena pigs, hedgehogs, chinchilla and a turtle. I left the world of people. After caring for animals as a passion, I decided that I wanted to make a career out of it. I left the world of customer service so that I could focus on spending all of my time doing daycare and Boarding. My facility is open Monday thru Friday from 7am to 6pm. During those hours we operate daycare, intake and release for boarding and grooming. After hours we are here for feeding, walking, playing. I own and operate a boarding and daycare center for pets. I can care for and board any size animal from a goldfish to a horse. I live on site so your pets are looked after 24 hours a day. We have common areas where pets can interact if you wish, as well as private kennels. All pets are walked atleast 5 times per day in our fenced in back yard on or off leash. They have plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather permits. All areas of the building, including kennels are climate controlled. We also provide grooming services if you are intrested in having your et groomed during their stay. We provide food but you may also bring your own as well. We will feed on your schedule.

“Best Rover ever. Lauren is AWESOME! If you don't book with her, you'll be missing out. Our 3-year old lab, Auggie, was well cared for and thrived while staying with Lauren. Lauren communicated with us regularly during Auggie's stay, so we knew exactly how Auggie was doing. If we vacation in the Outer Banks in the future, Lauren will be our first call.”


About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with large dogs and indoor cats. Currently on the farm, I have 3 dogs, 2 horses, chickens, ducks, and a barn cat! Our pets are family and yours will be too! I am available for drop in visits daily. I can do boarding at my home anytime. There is always someone home to care for the animals. I have an 8 acre property with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Dogs can be leashed if needed, but will be watched 24/7 when outside. Dogs will be in the comfort of the home hanging out freely when not outside.

About: Hi! My name is Shakira I have been working with many different types of animals for years! I have experience with basic medicine, medication administration, and many other important concepts of animal care! I am passionate about my job and would love to help you care for your pet! I have pet sitting experience with many clients from past veterinary clinics, but I am looking to expand these services to more locals! I have worked with many species, including farm and exotic animals. I specialize in dogs, including utilizing low stress techniques for aggressive or anxious dog breeds. Please contact me for any information regarding booking or if you have any more questions or concerns. I’m excited to hear about you and your pet! I currently work from home. Other than small errands, I am home throughout the day and can provide frequent supervision and potty breaks when needed. I currently have no pets in my home, so if selecting to board, your animal would have my full attention. I do require that animals are comfortable with young children. If selecting day care, I am experienced with accessing homes for walks and pick up/drop off.

“Olivia is an outstanding pet sitter. I boarded my puppy with her and she was very attentive, and professional. Also-my puppy had fun with her other dogs as well. I certainly would recommend her and utilize her services in the future. Thank you Olivia for taking care of Blondie while I was away- you did a great job of making him feel at home and welcomed.”


“This boarding was exceptional!! Everyone welcomed my Roxie into the family! She came back home happy and tired!! Shelli sent a report every day with a picture - they were always doing something. Roxie also loved her new friend, Luna. My dog was busy, happy, well-cared for, and loved! It doesn't get any better than that.”


About: I was raised around animals of all kinds. I have experience with puppies, kittens, adult cats and dogs, as well as, senior pets.

In regards to house sitting, I will be sure to keep each room clean and organized and care for any pets in the house. I work as a dog groomer Tuesday through Saturday, but I am able to take Hamilton with me to work. On the days I'm off, Hamilton and I play fetch, tug, and watch TV.

I do require that visiting dogs come with their crate in the event that they are not suited to be left free roaming the house during the day or evening.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of pets, my own, for 17 years. I grew up with cats that were my responsibility, and am now a dog owner. I have fostered puppies and currently care for a (near) senior dog. I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and with advanced notice, I can usually meet most requests made. I do take time to travel with my dog on weekends, so I may not be available for weekend boarding. I have a room dedicated as a dog space in my home, and I have the ability to crate dogs as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a tie out cord and leash for dogs that need more attention outdoors.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

Kristen & Samuel J.

“Great experience! My dogs were very well taken care of and was really happy about the big fenced in yard they were able to enjoy .”


Shakira H.

“Shakira saved my dog’s life!! When I went out of town, she noticed that my dog, Jenny, was acting strange. With my permission, she took him to the vet right away, moments before he had a seizure! It was her help that allows us to diagnose Jenny’s diabetes and she has cared for her ever since! She helped us find the best way to give Jenny her shots, since she is so timid and scared of needles (understandable). She also gives her injections when we’re out of town! We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our Jenny. Great job Shakira!!!!!!”
