About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have almost always had a dog in my home, and was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and loving on my animals. I’m an active volunteer at the Wake County Animal Center, where I routinely walk dogs of all backgrounds and sizes. I do have a black lab at home who is a big sweetheart and is great with other animals. I just quit my full time job to pursue a startup business that will occupy a lot of my hours but will be fully at home. I have a dog at home who I walk 2-5 miles each day in between meetings to refresh myself and give her stimulation and fun! I have a fenced in yard with lots of great smells, as we are surrounded by trees. We have a black lab named Dixie who is always excited to show her new friends her backyard toys. I also am a big walker and enjoy taking dogs walking in my neighborhood for a mile or two at a time. I do not walk multiple dogs together, as I want to give each dog what they need from their outside time. We are very social people and routinely have friends come by the house. My dog loves extra love but we are happy to accommodate the needs of your fur baby while they are with us!
“I just picked Delilah up last night from an almost 10 day stay with Julie. This is only Delilah's second time ever staying with a stranger, and she came home in a great mood and seems to enjoy her stay with Julie which was a relief to my husband and I. While Delilah is an easy dog, she is a retired service dog and isn't used to staying with other people so the fact that she enjoyed her stay and came home happy meant the world to us. We would for sure use Julie again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such good care of Delilah!”
“Bailey can be apprehensive of others but was comfortable with Hiroko at first sight! She was very communicative, sharing photos and videos during his stay. He always looked happy! I definitely had a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.”
“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”
“Andrea is great! She is so compassionate and accommodating to the specific needs of my dog. She kept me updated the entire time and sent photos throughout. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Amanda was great! My dog is a timid and anxious boy and she took great care of him and his quirks! He loved the backyard to run around in. Amanda sent plenty of picture and video updates as well! Would definitely recommend!”
“Martine did such a great job with my boy. She is very responsive and gave me pictures and updates on how he was doing which definitely helps to put your mind at ease when leaving your dog somewhere new. Thank you!”
“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”
“Nickole took great care of my little guy. Prior to his stay she inquired about his food/medicine. I received daily updates including photos. I will be using her again in the future when overnight needs arise.”
“Cara and Stefan’s family were wonderful and attentive caretakers for our 5 month old puppy Daisy, a rambunctious Wheaten. We received daily photos on our weeklong trip. Daisy received plenty of attention including walks, playtime, and snuggles and had such a great time!”
“Rebecca was great, she was communicative, friendly on time and I truly felt like Poppy was being cared for while I was away. I would absolutely trust her to care for Poppy again.”
“Lauren is seriously the best!! We have utilized her multiple times, and I feel so comfortable when the dogs are with her. She is super sweet, very welcoming, has an awesome backyard, and sends picture updates every day. Our one pup is pretty big and high energy and she handles him very well! Our pups always come home happy and tired. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Bailey was fantastic! She was very accommodating to our last minute need for boarding. She was very communicative and sent many pictures! She kept our dog busy and happy. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. Growing up in the city I’ve always loved walking and dog sitting for my neighbors and family dogs. Also, a fur baby mom many times myself of small dogs like Maltipoos and Chihuahuas. I’m currently retired and I’m available during the week and weekends. So, I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of shade. There’s plenty of space inside as well. The den area has a comfortable couch to lay on.
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Genevieve took such good care of my puppy! He’s never stayed away from home so I was nervous but she was responsive and put my mind at ease. He loved playing with her sweet dog!”
“Such an awesome experience overall! This was our first time leaving our 9 month old puppy and we left him for over a week. Krissy put us right at ease and sent pictures and videos updating us on how he was doing. Highly recommend and will be using again in the future :)”
“Margaret had a blast during her stay with Vanessa! Vanessa kept me updated with great pictures and descriptions of their days together. Additionally, very flexible with pick up time changes, alleviating a good deal of travel stress. 10 out of 10, will book again :)”

Angela (and her pup) were fantastic watching my senior dog for 10 days. She sent daily updates with a couple pictures each time and even accommodated for my time change so I can see them during the day. I could tell my pup had a great time with them as he was going back to Angela for pets before leaving. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone
This is the third time Rebecca has taken care of Olaf and Pinky, and they absolutely love her. They are always happy and well cared for, and we have complete peace of mind when they're with her. Great communication, reliable care, and a wonderful experience every time. Highly recommended!
Cannot recommend Nickole enough! We ended up having to extend our trip due to a sickness and she was so understanding and helpful. It alleviated so much stress to know our dog was in good hands and we are very thankful for her willingness to keep her longer than originally planned! She was great about sending pictures and our dog loved her stay with them!
Cristina was wonderful. She is clearly knowledgeable about dogs, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and sweet videos, and even got our shy pup to warm up to her quickly. She also checked in before doing anything new that we hadn’t previously discussed, which we really appreciated. On top of that, she is warm and kind. Thank you again!
Makyla is amazing! She went above and beyond to tend and take care of me dog!! Constantly keeping me updated and making my dog feel safe and comfortable!! She is very patient and understanding as well! If you're in the triangle area 10/10 recommended to book with her!
