“John did a great job with our pup. He was great about sending updates and pictures each day. Quick and easy communication. There is plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space. We will use John again when we need someone near the OBX.”
“Christianna and Cheddar were excellent hosts! After a bad Rover experience several years ago and waiting till the last min to board our fur baby, Christianna let us come over to see where Leila would be kept and introduce the dogs prior to leaving her there for a week. She has a huge fenced in yard, sent me lots of pictures and kept in touch daily to let us know how Leila was doing. She has reaffirmed my faith in dog watching strangers and Rover. Will definitely use her again.”
“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“Fantastic sitter! She accepted a last-minute booking and provided excellent communication throughout. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures, which made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely book again!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
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.
“Chloe Freedom had a great stay with Courtney. She was wonderful and took great care of them. She sent us plenty of pictures during their stay. Thanks again Courtney we will definitely be using you again.”
“Ricardo is one of our go to sitters for our senior disabled pug and 1 yr large high energy puppy! He does a great job managing.The needs of two completely different animals. He treats them with love and his mom loves on our senior girl as if she were her own.”
“Amy is the best!!! She took my reservation request super last minute and my dogs were well taken care of. We received pictures to let us know how they were doing with her. Will definitely use her again! Thank you Amy!!”
“Kristin, James, & Hannah were amazing! They took such great care of Theo and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. They were incredibly kind to both Theo and I. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”
“Jon has been a great sitter for Jinger, we're glad we found him. Our trips are better knowing she's being care for well. We truly appreciate Jon and 100% recommen him for your pet care. Thank you so much Jon!!!!”
“She was incredible with both my labs. Very responsive. Sent updates of them playing. I felt totally comfortable with them in her care. She even exercised them on a treadmill on a rainy day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care in the area.”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
“We had a great experience boarding our dog with Rose! Her facility is awesome and we felt very confident leaving our pup in her care! We loved the security measures she takes to ensure our babies safety and that dogs are kept separate during their stay! Overall very friendly person and great boarding option! Highly recommend Rose and we will for sure book again next time we are visiting the area!”
About: I had two labs growing up that I was always around feeding bathing and walking and I currently have a girl pit mix who I’ve had since she was a puppy. I currently work part time so I have a lot of free time and am available anytime Sunday and Monday and anytime everyday after 4:30! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around and I also have a friendly pit mix female dog she just turned one and loves having friends to play with!
“This was our first time using rover and we will definitely be using it again and going back to this family! They were great and sent tons of pictures during our pups stay! Thank you Melissa & Zachary!”
About: I have experience working with animals of all breeds/species. I used to work for a boarding/daycare/grooming facility that was also connected to a vets office. I’m familiar with farm animals, dogs, cats, most small pets, and reptiles. I had my own horse for 17 years. Currently I have two German Shepherds who are both 4 years old- so I’m very familiar with working breeds! *I have experience with administering medications and animal first aid* I’m currently a stay at home mom and have full availability. More than likely my son will be with me for drop in visits- but for house sitting, arrangements can be made if necessary! With my two being a working breed we go on a lot of walks, and play a lot of fetch. But they also know how to be couch potatoes! Either way I can follow the lifestyle your pet is used to whether it be cuddles and lounging or going outside to play. I’m all about communication so pictures and daily check ins are something I like to provide!
