“Lacie is 5 stars as well as A++!!!! She takes remarkable care of our special needs Havanese , Emma. I can’t recommend her enough!! We love Lacie and would trust her with anything we own. Thank you Lacie.”


“Rosie and James communicate throughout the stay with pictures of our pet, and they are always ready when I pick up and drop off, which is nice. Would definitely recommend and use them again!”


“Megan & Nicole werd very easy to witk with for my schedule and my aging doxies needs. I made the reservation pre-Helene and then all hell broke loose. I knew they lived nesr the French Briad River and called to see if they were ok. Their house, along with many others in their neighborhoid experience serioys damage from waters that rise from the ground. They were draying in another tien ehile their first floor was being taken apart. That didnt stop them and they were still ready to have Sadie for a couple if days while i had outpatient durgery at Duke in Rsleigh.”


“Cara was great with our pup Smokey. She has dogs of her own which meant Smokey had plenty friends to play with. Cara was communicative and attentive. I would gladly use Cara again.”


“My Bandit was spoiled & loved by Lauren and all her visitors and guests. It just warms my heart to know my boy was well looked after and ❤️! Will definitely be using her services again-thanks again-- " one happy dog mom "”


“Michelle was amazing! She took great care of our Van. Sent us daily updates and photos and even made homemade treats. I would definitely recommend anyone to use her”


“Sharon provided a YUGE safe space for the pups to play - having a privacy fence surrounding her entire property! My pups loved it there and were safe, well cared for and, when I arrived were in the good company of a few other well behaved dogs. Drop off and pick up was easy and Sharon is a really nice person. Next trip to the area I'll surely engage Sharon to keep my doggos. Kudos to Sharon AND I fully recommend her to anyone wishing their pups a non-stressful stay while traveling.”


“If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”


“Kharen is wonderful! We had a last minute cancellation where we used to board our dogs and fortunately Kharen had room for Ozzy and Milly. We felt good about leaving them with someone who truly cares about dogs and enjoyed getting photos of our pups. We found a new place with Kharen to board our dogs!”



“Laura was so wonderful to our Theo. The updates and photos we received from her gave us the piece of mind we needed to be able to relax on our vacation. I don’t think I could have chosen a more loving home for him to be in. We will definitely be rebooking with her again.”


“Calvin is outstanding!! He is loving and caring and took exceptional care of my Lexie!! Highly, highly recommend him!! I will use him every time I’m in NC!!”


“Terry & Kristal took great care of my pet. Ace was very content and enjoyed the ability to get outdoors and explore. We received daily updates along with photos. I felt so at ease leaving Ace in their hands. You can see their love for dogs. I’ve used them twice now and will have no problems going back.”


“Ann is one of the nicest Rover sitters we have ever used. Our senior dog has some anxiety, and Ann was so wonderful, and patient, with him. She reached out with updates and questions to ensure she was able to do all she could to make him comfortable and feel more at home with her and her family. We are grateful for all of her help and support and highly recommend Ann.”


“Maria is a natural with animals. Her calm demeanor puts you and your pets at ease. My dog doesn't take to strangers well but he felt right at home with her.”



“Elizabeth was amazing with Luna! She sent us updates on our dog and was a great little stay for our babygirl while we were on our mtb ride in Dupont! Thanks again so much Elizabeth!”



“Sergio had a pleasure experience, nice grounds. She has 2 other friendly dogs which was nice. Jennifer is pleasant and animal loving, which is great! Would use again! Thank You”


“Many many thanks to Kassie! I could not imagine the better caregiver for my dog than her. She is very attentive to pets and gives them all her love.”


“Stacey was amazing. Our dog had a great time. She communicated so well with us and sent regular photos. We vacation some in the area and would gladly have Stacey keep our dog another time. Thanks, Stacey!”


About: Hi!! I’m Sky, an adventure seeker, an outdoors enthusiast and the most passionate dog person this side of the Mississippi 😆 I’m new to the area and settling into my new home. I have the PERFECT set up at home for pets (giant fenced-in yard, access to many hiking trails/dog parks, etc.) More importantly, I am extremely passionate about animals and giving them the love they deserve. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been called on to dog sit for family & friends. Your pet will be safe, snuggled, and loved in my care! I typically have 3-4 days off in a row, every week. This makes it easy for me to give your pet the attention he/she deserves. My average work day is 6-8 hours, so if pet setting falls on a work day for me, this is the longest stretch of time your pet would be without care. I have no other pets (yet) 😆. So your dog will get my undivided attention! My home offers a large yard, many dog walking opportunities in the area, pet-friendly furniture, and an indoor camera for the kennel or dog room, so you and I can keep an eye on your dog while I’m away at work!

Skylar T.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough great things about the amazing care our dog, Chance, received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in the best hands. She was incredibly kind, responsible, and truly treated Chance like one of her own. She kept us updated with adorable photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Chance came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s obvious she has a natural connection with animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and comfortable. I would 100% trust her to watch Chance again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly fabulous, look no further. She’s the best!”
