About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am very experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care for going up stairs, I can stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary. Being on the furniture or bed is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous during a thunderstorm or other loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.

“Lauren did a great job and made friends with my cats! My cats never let anyone besides me pet them and they did let her. I honestly thought she wouldn't even see them at all but they trusted her. She is a cat whisperer apparently. I would use her again!”

About: I have always loved and been around animals my whole life. My grandparents had a mini farm and I would take care of my brother's dog when he would have to work. This care included walking, feeding, and bathing his dog. I also use to work part-time at Adams Farm Animal Hospital in Greensboro NC as a Kennel Attendant and Veterinary Assistant. I'm currently a full-time college student so I'll have time to take care of your pup whenever I don't have classes. I also work as a Dental Assistant Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. I’m still available during the week but I’m available all day all weekend. Though I stay in an apartment there are a lot of areas for your dog and me to go on long walks. My apartment complex also has a dog park. I can also crate your dog if you would like.

“Vanessa is reliable, personable, and takes great care of Millie. I am always confident that Millie is in good hands when Vanesssa visits her.”

“Andrea was a great dog sitter for our poodle, Kaiser! She has such a good energy when it comes to dogs. Kaiser took to her instantly during our meet and greet. Andrea sent us photos and videos which was very comforting while we were on vacation. We were fortunate enough to find Andrea on short notice and for a short period of time, and will utilize her services in the future!”

“We just moved here to NC and know no one. We were planning a trip to CT and could not find a cat friendly hotel. I found Laila on here and was a little iffy. NOT about her just me. I never trusted anyone watching my babies (cats). I am so happy I took a chance. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED her. She took great care of my babies. She spent time with them, played with them, and most of all treated them like they were her own. They LOVED her! I told my cats that she wasn’t coming today and they were very sad and moped all day. I would absolutely ask her again & recommend her to everyone.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets all my life. I have had pets from fish, frogs and snakes to bunnies, cats, and dogs. I often watch friends and families beloved pets and always treat them as I would want someone to treat mine! I am currently working from home part time, which gives me plenty of free time to be able to play with and walk your fur babies. I can walk or simply let out and play with your dog and am able to crate if necessary. I also can give medication if needed as my own dog takes medicine everyday.

About: At Central Canines, pet care is more than just a service — it’s a personalized experience built on trust, structure, and love. With years of hands-on experience in both dog training and boarding, I go beyond basic care to truly understand each dog’s personality, needs, and behavior. Whether your pup is staying overnight or working on new skills, they’ll receive consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and one-on-one attention in a safe, home-style environment — not a crowded kennel. What sets me apart is the calm, confident energy I bring to every interaction, my commitment to helping dogs thrive both mentally and physically, and the genuine relationships I build with each pet and their family. Here, every dog is treated like one of my own. Pet care is my full-time lifestyle — not just part of my day. As a professional dog trainer and full-time pet care provider, my entire routine is centered around the well-being, structure, and happiness of the dogs in my care. From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time in a secure yard, personalized enrichment activities, and rest periods throughout the day to prevent overstimulation. For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

About: I personally have or have had dogs of all ages from birth to senior dogs. And have experience with rescue dogs as well and the many challenges that can bring when not knowing their background. I've had experience caring for all kinds of animals from birds, rabbits, cats, dogs and also farm animals like goats and cows. And can provide care for other small pets in your home while you're away. My schedule is very flexible as I don't have a regular job and work from home and make my own hours so it makes for a flexible schedule. When I am boarding your fur baby at my home I don't have a fence so they are leashed at all times as I'm currently in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard. They do allow all pets here and everyone is super friendly and so are their dogs. I also have 3 small dogs of my own. I do have a long lead for bigger dogs so we are able to still play around outside with ease and they not be stuck right next to me.

“Took very good care of our fur babies!! Always took the cutest pictures and no matter the weather made sure they were okay!! Would recommend to anyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 8. Specifically dogs since about 10. My family has owned a dog since about then, but I’ve always been asked to help with the neighbors dog , my friends dog etc. Most dogs naturally take to me instantly. I have a deep love for all animals, but a special place in my heart for the puppies. I will love your special friend as if they were my own. I am home full time. I do work gig work so sometimes I will be out running deliveries such as Instacart and grubhub. However that is flexible, so being able to do walks and schedule play time is never an issue. Your special friend will always come first. My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to work with you. Just let me know what you need I have a fenced back yard and there is a neighbor with a sidewalk just a short car ride away for a nice long walk. I have 3 teenagers who love and respect furry friends who are always around to give lots of love.

About: I've had a wide array of pets my entire life - dogs, birds, bunnies, hamsters and cats. I'm extremely understanding of their needs, while gentle and fun. My whole life i've made myself knowledgeable about animals, and continue to educate myself about different types of animals/dog breeds. Their traits and strong senses are fascinating. I'm always thinking about the wants of each type of breed. And, I have a private garden for my apartment, for private, safe and healthy dog-walking. My communication is excellent, and I will send fun photos of your pet while on the job, reminding you they are in safe and fun hands! I'm extremely punctual, organized and responsible - for every dog walking schedule and short-term boarding I will be there for your pet(s).
