“This was my first time having Rebecca care for my dog, Molly. Both Molly and I were very happy with the experience. Rebecca was very good communicator and sent pictures multiple times during the day. Molly was happy and a little reluctant to leave. We will definitely use Rebecca again when the need arises.”

About: We’re an active, dog-loving couple who miss having a furry friend around - so we put all that energy into the pups we host. We raised a golden retriever for over 12 years, through eight different homes, which taught us how to stay flexible and make any space feel like home for a dog. We’ve also cared for the fur-babies of our friends and family over the years, so medium and large breeds are totally our comfort zone. Carleigh works from home every day, and John is home four days a week, meaning your dog gets tons of attention, playtime, and company. We’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, but we love having short-term four-legged guests to spoil. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because one of us is almost always home, so your dog will get tons of attention, supervision, and company throughout each day. We love taking breaks to go on walks, play outside, or just hang out with a furry friend while we work. Since we’re already active and outside often, adding a dog to our routine is fun and effortless. We treat every dog like a temporary member of the family. Our home is clean, calm, and set up to be dog-friendly, especially for medium and large breeds. We pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any quirks or preferences your dog has. We’re big on communication - you’ll get updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s play time, relaxing, or sticking to their normal schedule, we make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive.

About: First things, first. Why the long gap? I've been fostering dogs for 11 years and the last 3ish years has had some ups and down, including two very good bois being returned, and both needing some special care - one with anxiety, requiring patience and creativity; and one with reactivity. The last few years I have not taken new clients, focusing on my fosters, my animals, and friends dogs. I am happy to announce the pups are doing well in their respective homes, with the second being adopted in February. Woohoo. After the last adoption, I took some time to get my dog, Monti settled in to the new routine, and then decided to throw a kitten into the mix. Life finally seems settled, my last foster dog is doing amazing in his new home, and I am ready to take on a new client or two. I grew up around dogs, and continued my love of them into adulthood. I have had dobermans, and handled other working breads. I currently have a 3yo female Ridgeback who gets along with all dogs, even the grumpy ones. She is very calm with a goofy side, and seems to know what each dog needs from her. She will play if provoked but is fine with laying around as well. I also have a cat that has zero fear of dogs and likes to say hi and be part of the fun. He is definitely not dog savvy, and could get some dogs excited. I have room to seperate him if needed. As I stated above, I foster, and while energy is always different from one dog to the next, if they are dog friendly, I make sure to introduce them to new dogs slowly and properly. About the home: I have plenty of crate options in the home, as well as toys, dog beds, leashes, and other walking tools, so there will be limited supplies needed to be packed up for your pooch. I respect rules and training of owners. But I am also extremely good at spoiling them. While I am gone, I have an 11x9 'den' that is gated and houses the crates, but looks into the family room, and has a pet camera for viewing while I am gone. This space is a perfect dog space and used just for them. Beds, blankets, crates and toys are in the room providing a wonderful space for them to relax in while I am gone. About my yard Large lot with 5' fence. I am very active and would keep your dogs exercised, assuming they are active as well. I have easy access to Umstead if hikes/walks are allowed. Experience administering medication Yes - My dobie was on meds for 3.5 years - I know most tricks to get them to eat the meds. While I can handle shots, I'd rather not have to administer any to dogs that I am not familiar with, so a free drop in visit and discussion with owner would be required first. I am comfortable with eye drops, basic bandaging, etc. I have the resources to board multiple clients dogs at one time in my home, and reservations overlap. I will take the time to properly introduce all dogs to each other and monitor their interactions. I work from home and I spoil the dogs throughout the day. Lots of yard time and couch naps while I am working and then walks and adventures in the evenings. I have dog gates up throughout the house, use crates while I am gone, and set boundaries for new dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and properly. I feed dogs separately. And I keep an eye on energy levels ensuring dogs are in a comfortable state.

“Sally took great care of our pet dog. He was very happy with her and bonded well. Our requirements were odd in the sense that we had to drop and pick up our pet multiple times in the day/night and Sally accommodated us well. Thank you Sally.”

“Brittany was so wonderful! She made me feel at ease leaving my relatively new rescue pup, Callie, in her care. She updated me during the day with lots of photos as well. Callie pass right out not long after we got home. She can’t wait to go back! We will definitely use her services again.”

“Still in recovery from an attack by a large dog, our little seven pound puppy Maui needed extra TLC. Martine and Ron were as loving and caring as we could ever had hoped for. I recommend them most highly and without reservation!”

“My dog had a great time socializing with other dogs and exploring the great outdoor area. He came home completely tuckered each day and didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back!”

“Niko had so much fun with Zainab, and she was graciously able to watch him last minute. Always a good day! Love seeing him having a good time.”

Cathy H.

“What a nice experience! My very nervous pup was well taken care of. Hoping to bring her back soon!”

“From the moment we all came in to Lauren’s home, our dogs felt right at home. Lauren loved on them and they loved her. We left them with her the entire day and they had a great day: napping, playing in her back yard, and what else: I’m not sure. But they were happy when we came to pick them up. We are from out of town, and finding someone that could take in two super senior dogs was very important to us. Lauren was very sensitive to their needs and made sure that they had a good safe day. When we are back in town, I hope Lauren will take them again when we need a dog sitter. Thank you, Lauren!!”
