“Our doggo loves the social environment Kara provides - he comes home happy and tired, and we love the pictures of him with his pack of the moment! Thanks Kara for keeping Gamble happy and safe while we were gone.”


“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”


About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!

“Heather and James really know what they are doing! They are both dog trainers and my dogs felt comfortable and safe. I felt secure in knowing that they knew a lot about rescues, and I appreciated that they kept my two dachshunds separated from the larger dogs. Communication was excellent as was response time.”

About: I have a dog myself (4 years old) and I understand how hard it is to find someone to take care of your dogs while you’re away. I would absolutely love if you trust me to watch your babies and I will send you lots of pictures and updates if you’re comfortable with that. I’m a graduate student at Appalachian State and live super close to campus so I’m at my apartment most of the day when I’m not in class. I am quite flexible, I do live in an apartment so a lot of what I’ll do with be out and about or playing with my dog if they’re good together. I am available to watch them often and I’m the only one on the home so you don’t have to worry about them running away for any reason.

About: I have many yrs experience with Dogs and many other exotic animals care and well being. I have an education in training and experience in medical assessment of you furry friends. My goal is not just keeping your pet safe but also be engaging and fun for them I am currently in the long process of new certification classes that are set by my own scheduling. So I can customize my schedule for my customers. Personalized one on one care. I can only house dogs that are friendly with other dogs, I stive to provide custom care that fits your needs and your pets. I have a background in emergency medical care and animal health assessment(so if any issues do arise I am highly qualified to deal with them) also I have lots of room outdoors for exercise and enrichment. My w9rk partner Alfie is cordial and a great companion for some good positive Socialization.


“We are so thankful to Kitty for looking after our little pup! She gave Lana a wonderful vacation week and we would highly recommend her. It was the first time leaving Lana overnight and Kitty made the whole process really smooth for us. Arriving at her home with the beautiful fenced in yard and peaceful surroundings gave us a great feeling straight away. She gave us time to get Lana settled and listened to our preferences for some house rules during the time there. She went over and above to give us not only updates and photo check ins but she also shared really valuable tips she had noticed in terms of our pup's development and maturing and was actively invested in working on them while Lana was with her. Thank you again!”
