“Larissa was and is absolutely AMAZING! She watched our 3 month old puppy for a week and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She was on top of everything and never forgot to send updates and pictures! She was extremely kind and her and her family treated our pup like family! Her home and property is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place for dogs to run around and have fun! If you need a sitter, she is your go to! I am beyond thankful for all she did for me and my family while being out of town!”
“Chasity was amazing with my dog! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the day. My pup came home happy and relaxed. I’d definitely trust her to watch him again!”
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”
“I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you”
“So grateful they could watch Cove last minute! They were really sweet with him and sent me pics and updates the whole time, which made me feel so much better about leaving him. I’d definitely recommend!”
“Teddy had a great time with Beth! He went to the dog park and for walks. He was happy when we picked him up and went back to Beth to give her hugs before we left! We got lots of pictures and communication, and felt very comfortable that we chose Beth as our sitter. Will definitely use her again!”
“We are so glad we chose Kelly and Ryan to watch our pup Marley! They were very accommodating and accepted our last minute request to watch Marley. He was loved and taken good care of! We received photos and updates daily. I would definitely recommend Kelly and Ryan and will keep them in mind for future care :)”
“Meg was absolutely amazing. She was wonderful with our little guy, Simon. Wrigley, Meg's dog, thought she had a new little brother. They were terrific together. They played, they walked, and they curled up and cuddled and Meg took pictures of all of it! I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind but it was comforting to know that he was being cared for and loved by someone who obviously has loved many dogs in her lifetime.”
“She was very communicative the entire time my cats stayed with her and made sure to update me with pictures. She even dealt with my very hectic schedule due to moving. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — from Shipoos to Labs, Cane Corsos, Great Danes, and Blue Heelers. Growing up on a farm nurtured my love for animals, and I’d love the chance to make sure your dog has a happy, enjoyable time. I can do pet care in the morning anytime till 7 AM and also in the afternoons after 5 o’clock & Fridays anytime after 2. I am free anytime on the weekends. I live in a camper. We have a dog park and if anything happens with your dog, I am able to crate them whenever it is needed. Water is available at all times so is loving attention!
“Michelle was great. She shared updates while I was out-of-town and when I picked my dog up, I could tell that my dog was well cared for. I will definitely ask Michelle to watch my dog during my next trip.”
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats throughout my whole childhood. I’m currently a stay at home wife and pet mom of 2 dogs on a military base! I’m walking distance away from 3 different spacious dog parks and have a massive yard your dogs can walk and play in. I also live on base with a veterinary clinic. I’ve always had a love for animals and treat them all just like family! I currently do not work anywhere and I’m a full stay at home wife on a military base in Havelock, NC. I am looking for another part time job, definitely somewhere close to my house so I’m never too far away from the pets! We have a spacious yard, perfect for long walks and play time on a retractable leash! We also have a covered dog pen for rainy days and dogs who don’t want to get their paws wet. I usually feed my animals once in the morning but can cater to any dogs needs and normal schedules! Water is always available along with toys, a comfy couch, and dog beds! I also have experience in medication if your dog takes pills I can give them those if/when needed.
“Gabby, Hunter, & Rocky are great! They took excellent care of our dog, Zoi, with short notice due to a family emergency. They allowed me to extend Zoi’s stay! They are very loving dog people who took excellent care of my dog. You could not ask for any better people and dog (Rocky) I recommend Gabby and her team without reservation, and I will certainly utilize them in the future. Thank you, Gabby and Hunter!”
“Briana was great! We contacted her last minute and she was very willing to accommodate our needs and make sure to meet our pups before we needed her! She had great communication with us and we would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler. I love dogs and have cared for puppies and older dogs. I am energetic and love to play . I'm currently finding my niche after working in customer service for years. Dogs have been a part of my life and I am currently looking for my match dog. I have a fenced in yard and your dog can play with me there. I love to walk, so we will be walking a lot. I would snuggle too.
