“Mindy was very personable, attentive, caring and flexible with our mini schnauzer. She met all his needs and some more! We definitely recommend her for any family vacationing in Outer Banks. Our pup loved his overnight stay!”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“Susan is a lifesaver! I could tell the love for dogs she has within an instant of meeting her. Extremely accommodating, maintains the pup’s daily schedule and routines, and is very communicative. I highly recommend!”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“Olivia is every dog’s dream home away from home. This was our pups first time away from us and she was patient as he adjusted and treated him like part of her family! She was quick to respond and communicate with. She sent pictures along the way. Cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again when back in the area!”
“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”
“What an exceptional find! Rose is always so upbeat and cheerful, she clearly loves what she does living on her farm with all her animals and her boarders. The grounds are amazing and all her animals are clearly in excellent health. Otter was fascinated by the horses and had a grand adventure. I am delighted to have discovered this option, our go to now for sure.”
“Mary was wonderful during my little guys stay! She was easy to work with and very accommodating/flexible. Bryar loved having a friend during his stay as well, Tucker, who seemed to do great with his energy. Mary communicated throughout the day with updates and pictures which eased my mind. Bry was such a happy guy during his stay!”
