Loving home & large fenced yard!

Hey there! We are Jesse and Diana and we live in the heart of Cary with our teenage daughter, 9 year old black lab mix Delta, 5 year old whippet Skadi, and 4 year old chihuahua Pepita. We also have two cats, Steve and Max who are 12 and 8 and are great with all dogs. Sometimes I think Max is more of a dog than a cat! Our dogs are good girls (spayed) and absolutely love to play! We have about a half acre fenced back yard that they can run freely in to get out all their zoomies. Both of our dogs are fully vaccinated and on flea & tick medication. We have had dogs all our lives and they have always been an important part of our family. We have experience with training certified therapy dogs as well. Our golden retriever, Molly was actively involved in working with Alzheimer's and dementia patients as a certified therapy dog. She passed away last year at 14 years old. She was a good girl. We understand all dogs have different needs and we will be extremely accommodating. Additionally, we work from home so your dog would never have to be alone. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions!

In our area there are dozens of commercial buildings with teams of people ready to care for your pet. I'm sure many are very successful businesses. However, when one needs to find someone passionate about animals to care for their beloved pet, this website is the best place. Diana and Jesse are clearly animal lovers. They have multiple pets and they have designed their home around their pets and pets they care for, including a large, fenced back yard. Spend five minutes with them and their passion and love for animals is obvious. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Diana and Jesse. While with Diana and Jesse, our dog had a great time. He was well cared for and returned home happy and healthy. Diana and Jesse, respond quickly to messages, share pictures on a regular basis and adapted to our pet's needs. Their pets are very accommodating of new animals as well. Our dog will be back under the care of Diana and Jesse the next time we travel. I suggest you go meet Diana and Jesse as well.

We had such a great experience! We received lots of updates, photos, and messages throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that Berber was well cared for and getting plenty of attention and love. When we picked him up, he came back happy, healthy, and pleasantly tired from all the fun he had. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust them with Berber again. Highly recommend!

Remi and I went to Diana and Jesse’s for a meet and greet. (I’m one of those crazy overprotective dog moms). After 10 minutes of being there I knew this was a good place for Remi. He felt calm and at home at their house. When it was time for his stay Diana made sure to find out what his normal routine was so he would feel more at home there. Throughout Remi’s stay Diana would send me updates and pictures. Remi looked so happy hanging out with their dogs and playing in the backyard. So much so that I was worried Remi wouldn’t want to come home with me when it was time to pick him up. Thankful he did. lol Diane and Jesse are wonderful I could have not asked for a better place for Remi to stay when I was away.

Diana and Jesse and family were great and provided a wonderful home for Porter for almost 3 weeks. We got good communication and pictures from them. They were very flexible when we got stranded in Canada in an early snowstorm and needed to extend our reservation. We even got a picture of Porter drawn by their daughter.

Awesome stay! I had been invited to a wedding out of town and needed someone to watch my dog. I’d never left her with anyone and she’s 3, so who I’d trust is very slim. From the beginning Diana and Jesse were very responsive and kind. We did a short meet and greet and I felt content leaving Leilani behind on this trip. Throughout the trip I received photos and updates about how things were going. We just got home, settled in, I’ve been unpacking and Leilani has been asleep the whole time. She loved her stay and is completely worn out ☺️ I’d definitely recommend Diana and Jesse to anyone! They keep your dogs routine, treat them as you would and make leaving your dog behind way easier!

Comfort items if your pup needs them (bed, blanket and toys) *We only crate your dog if that is something that is normally done in your home or if requested. We like to try and keep things consistent with how things are done in your home. *After an overnight stay, if pickup is after 12:00pm, we charge a daycare rate for that day.
