Karen was very communicative and took great care of our pups. Ours dogs were calm and well when we came to pick them up, which is always a good sign that they were feeling comfortable. I am sure they also enjoyed tremendously her beautiful fenced backyard, lots of sniffing opportunities!

Vince and Karen took wonderful care of Mojito while we were abroad. They were clearly experienced, caring, and made him feel right at home. Their house and fenced backyard provide a great environment for dogs, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent while we were away. They were also incredibly flexible when our return flight was delayed and we had to pick Mojito up later than planned. Mojito seemed genuinely happy, formed a great bond with both Vince and Karen, and came home relaxed and content. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving dog sitters.

Karen and Vincent were amazing with our dogs. We felt very comfortable, safe, and happy to have Peggy and Chip stay with them. They were communicative when something was needed and treated them like their own. Our dogs loved them and their big yard to play in. We are happily going to be using them again!

Karen and Vincent are a caring and thoughtful couple that were wonderful pet parents for our sweet pup while we were out of town! He's just over a year old and this was his first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous how he would react being away from us. We were able to schedule a two day mini-stay before our bigger trip, and our pup quickly became comfortable with them at their home. I really appreciated getting to see the space and the large (and very secure) fenced in yard where he would spend a few weeks. Our pup still has a ton of energy and loves to play, and both Karen and Vincent indulged him and his exercise needs to help wear him out each day! I believe they truly loved on him as if he was their own fur baby. They wanted to know all the details of his regular life / routine, and were communicative and responsive throughout the stay. Thank you so much for your dedication and for making it a stress-free experience for us and our pup!

We have a large fenced-in yard that is kept up, and we keep supervision on the pets when they're in the back yard. We can play with the pets while in the back yard as well as in the household. We live in South Raleigh near Sauls Rd and Hwy 42.

A typical day for your pet includes loads of attention. We would let the dog out to use the bathroom upon waking, followed by a treat. Then later a walk or playing in the back yard for some fun and exercise. Plenty of attention throughout the day.
