“Jennie was wonderful with my elderly, blind dog Rand. They had a great walk, she's very patient with him as he moves really slow. She sent pictures and stayed at least the full half hour. I will certainly re book!”

“You guys were awesome! Thank you!!”
4. Alexis P.
“Alexis is always fantastic with my German Shepherd. They have lots of fun walks and playtime together. I could not imagine a better person to take care of her!!!”
5. Craig K.
“Craig was fantastic with Dugan. He was able to walk him 3 days in a row with almost no notice. He responded right away and stayed in communication the entire time, sending multiple pictures every walk. Dugan is a Great Dane and pulls hard when other dogs walk by. Craig was able to calm him down and even prevent him from pulling! I will for sure ask Craig to walk dugan again and would recommend him to anyone.”

“Ambre is the very, very best dog walker and extremely reliable. She responded to my request within the hour and came over for a meet and greet to learn all about Caly and my needs. She kept in touch with information about their walks and was always on time. (She even walked in the rain). You will never go wrong when using Ambre for all your pet needs. She is very loving and willing to do whatever your animal needs. I will continue to use Ambre whenever I can to take care of Caly dog.”

14. Cael C.
About: I love to be outside and to experience life and your dog could be my new adventure buddy! I’ll bring them back happy and ready for a good nap. I am currently a student at UNC. I have a few classes during the day but will be able to care for your pets frequently with the largest gap being a few hours. I would love to play with, walk, or hang out with your furry friends. I can get their energy out or just provide them some loving!
15. Maria L.
“Now let me tell you, Maria pulled off the impossible! She somehow got my feisty cat Bootsie to peacefully coexist with their little Frenchie during her Boarding stay. Bootsie, is my only pet and she loves it that way, so I was really hesitant to leave Bootsie in a place with other pets, but I had some family obligations that required me to travel. Maria reassured me that she had plenty of experience with helping pets socialize and become integrated in a home with other pets, so I took a chance and booked Bootsie’s stay with Maria for 3 weeks. During her stay, I received plenty of photos and videos of Bootsie lounging about and claiming their place as her own. When I picked Boostsie up, she looked so healthy, well-groomed and at peace with her surroundings. I’ll definitely book Bootsie to Board with Maria again whenever I have to travel in the future.”
16. Maddy N.
“I loved her she was very friendly. My dog loved her very much. She was very kind in general. I will be using her again.”
17. Ryan S.
“It’s very obvious how dedicated Ryan is to animal welfare, and Boudreaux immediately responded to her loving heart! Owning a senior dog, I deeply appreciate Ryan’s veterinary knowledge and background. No worries about his getting over-exercised or of any potential health issues sneaking up! Highly recommend!”
18. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer has been my go-to pet sitter for about 15 years. I trust her to give my 2 dogs and 3 cats the love and attention they want. The one occasion that one of the pups got sick, Jen cleaned and pampered and kept a great attitude the entire time. And let’s face it, nobody loves cleaning up after a sick pup. I 100% trust Jen with my fur babies.”
19. Alyssa B.
About: My name is Alyssa and I'm opening my home and schedule to your pets! I have always been an animal lover with three cats, two jumping spiders, and a dog currently of my own; but have grown up with a variety of animals from birds, turtles, fish, chickens, cows, to little kittens! Along with being a true advocate for animals, I run a local pet group on Facebook that you may be familiar with called WNC Pet Connect. Daily I help people rehome their sweet babies due to unforeseen circumstances, find missing ones, and reunite lost ones. Helping animals is something I do every day! I am willing to watch in my home or do drop ins at your home with potential flexibility to stay in your home if it’s a weekend booking. I am open to majority of animals that need care. I have a 9 year old son and 4 year old son that are both used to being around animals, so animals that are also good with children is a must! Please keep in mind that I have pets of my own, so your fur baby must get along with them. If you would like to consider me as your animal caretaker, do not hesitate to reach out! 💚 Thank you! I work full time Monday-Friday from 9:30 AM-3 PM so will be gone during those hours, but also have the ability to work from home if needed. I am free most weekends. I have companion pets to keep your babies occupied and a wonderful neighborhood for walks. We LOVE going hiking so there’s also a chance that we may do that too 😊 If your dog needs a crate I can place it in a special comfy place in the home to accommodate.

“Gigi was very receptive to my wishes for my dogs. Both my dogs suffer from a range of reactivity issues and Gigi handled them so wonderfully. She showed such love and compassion toward them. They are looking forward to their weekly walks with her!”
