Loved By a Family, For a Family

If you're looking for a loving and dependable family to take care of your dog, look no further! Dogs have been a part of our lives since we were kids, and we've had experience with all sorts of breeds and sizes. My husband is a certified dog trainer, so our kids have learned how to respect and play with dogs of all kinds. We have a sweet 3-year-old American Bully named Solo who's part of our family too. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted us over the years to walk, feed, and care for their dogs. Your furry friend will get plenty of attention and be treated like one of our own! Whether your dog needs a good long walk, a bath, or just some cuddles while you're away, we're happy to give them the love and care they deserve. We're also comfortable giving basic medications if needed. Rest assured, your dog will be safe and well looked after with us. We offer boarding at our home, doggy daycare, and daily check-ins to fit your needs. Contact us today to schedule your dog's next pet-sitting visit and let our family spoil your pet with love and attention while you're gone!

Doggy Day Care • May 17, 2026

Ollie had a great time with Karissa and Robert (and family)! They kept him going and engaged with play as well as working on some training. They also communicated well and shared lots of pictures of their adventures. We will definitely be booking with them again!

We will definitely board with Karissa and Rob again! Our first interaction put us all at ease, Karissa was so patient and loving with our slightly nervous pup. Throughout the stay, communication was excellent. We received several updates on how our Puddles was getting along, including a picture where she had the biggest smile on her face. We could tell just how much our pup was enjoying her stay with this sweet family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our gal and making her feel at home in your home.

They were absolutely amazing! Sent so many updated photos and videos of Kylo . Even trained with him on some things like sitting . The communication was amazing even before we dropped him off and I felt so welcomed when we dropped him off so I know Kylo did as well. Thank you so much for taking good care of our boy 🤍

The best experience! Karissa and Robert are awesome to work with - they are communicative, kind, and our pup had the best time with their family! They sent plenty of pictures and Robert gave us lots of feedback on ways we can implement training for our puppy at home. Our puppy, Lucy, got a ton of socialization with their family and playtime with other dogs at the house. Could not recommend them enough!

Schedule

Your dog(s) will fit right into our daily routine. Mornings start early in our household, with our dogs having time to roam outside (weather permitting) before breakfast. Afterward, we typically take a neighborhood stroll or enjoy playtime in the backyard. Since both my husband and I work from home, your dog will enjoy plenty of cuddles, play sessions, and relaxation throughout the day. Dinner is served at 7 PM, followed by another opportunity for outdoor activities. We are flexible and can adjust our schedule to accommodate your dog's specific needs upon request.

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm pet sitting for you, I take care of your home like it's my own. Making sure your pets feel safe and comfy is a top priority for me. I stick to their routines, keep their spaces tidy, and make sure everything's secure, just like you'd want. Your place gets treated with a lot of care, so your pets and property are in good hands while you're away. At our place, dogs are like family—they have the run of our dog-friendly house. Your dog(s) will get the same love and attention that we give our own dog. Plus, we've got a fenced yard where they can play and explore safely.

A typical day

We love inviting your dog into our home as part of our family, ensuring they receive both physical and mental stimulation. Inside, we engage them with games, exploration, and lots of affectionate pets and snuggles. During neighborhood walks, we explore new scents and sights together. In our backyard, we enjoy playing fetch, navigating our dog agility course, or having a game of soccer to keep them engaged and entertained. For hot North Carolina days, we even have an outdoor dog pool where they can cool off and have fun.

Before we finalize our dog sitting plans, we'd love to get to know your pup(s) a bit better to ensure we can provide them with the best care possible. Could you tell us about their personality? Are they full of energy or more laid-back? How do they get along with other animals and people? Knowing these details helps us create a positive environment where they'll feel comfortable and happy. Also, it would be helpful to know about any special dietary preferences or restrictions they have, and their feeding schedule. And of course, if there are any medical conditions or medications they need, we want to be prepared to give them the attention they require for their health and safety while they're with us. Lastly, what's their typical daily routine like? What activities do they enjoy the most? Understanding their routine and favorite things to do will help us keep their time with us as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
