“I cannot begin to say enough about the care which Lacie provided for our Emma. She is a 16 year-old Havanese and has issues such as being blind and deaf. She also has some severe arthritis. Lacie took excellent care of her needs, took her outside multitudes daily to enjoy the sun and provided us with daily photos of how well she got along.Lacie provided excellent care and Emma and seem to be so happy. I know it was a lot of extra work because of her special needs, but Lacey was fantastic. I highly recommend Lacie!!!”


“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.”


“Sharon was so great with our two dogs! She sent pictures while we were away which always helps ease my mind and I’m always very appreciative for them. Her entire house is fenced in making it a dog paradise- plenty of room to run and play! She is very clearly a dog lover and makes sure they feel loved and comfortable!”

“Laura is exactly who we have been looking for. She reassured us and asked if there was anything she could do to make us comfortable with leaving our puppy- what a relief after a having a bad experience with a different Rover Sitter. Ginny had so much fun with her dog Matilda, and came home tired. Laura was the one easy part of our bad day. We will be back!”


“Ryan took time before the booking to make sure my dog, Jack, would be comfortable with her other animals. She was prompt with all of her responses and my dog came back happy and tired!”

“I know Callie enjoyed her stay with Laura & William as she has been napping most of the day today! She was happy when we picked her up and no signs of anxiety or stress which is a big relief! Out chasing the squirrels & telling them about her stay in the city! Will definitely board her there again! Time to plan another short getaway for us & her!”


“There are not enough good things I could say about Alyssa and Lola’s stay with her! She was constantly communicative, treated Lola like a family member, and even took her camping (after checking if I was okay with it at first, of course)! I honestly almost regret moving for my new job because it means I won’t be able to use her as a dog sitter going forward. No need to look elsewhere: Alyssa is THE BEST!”
