“Arden is the best! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with my schedule. Pups were happy and seemed to warm up to her immediately. We are from a different state so we didn’t get the chance to meet beforehand but I was confident she’d be a great fit and was correct! Anytime we are in town she will be our go to ☺️”

“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”


“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”

“We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”

“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”

“Natalie and her pup Otis are the best!! My pup can be nervous in new situations and she was wonderful with him. Otis is sweet and playful and happily welcomed my pup into his home. I got lots of pics and updates! Will be booking with Natalie again!😊”


“Karisa is amazing! We sent our little fur baby with her for 3 days of doggie day care and he had a blast! He spent all day playing, snuggling and would come back ready to go to bed after a long day of play! Karisa is very knowledgeable and incredibly responsive! She sent us pictures and videos during Everest’s stay and we were happy we felt at ease knowing he was in her care! Will def book again and I recommend her to anyone who wants a great sitter for their fur baby!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember—they’ve always been part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to more laid-back or shy dogs. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, and everyday care, and I really enjoy spending time with them. Friends and family trust me to look after their pets because they know I’m reliable and genuinely care. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or just keeping them company and making sure they’re not alone. I live in a pet-friendly 2 bed, 2 bath apartment with a spacious and bright living area where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. There’s a greenway right downstairs and Dix Park nearby, which makes it very convenient for safe and enjoyable walks. I always keep a clean, calm environment and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Daniela is awesome! Oakley loves her, and she takes great care of him. He’s super excited to get dropped off for the day. She sends updates throughout the day and I would highly recommend her!!”

“Re’Anna was so kind and understanding. She was able to accept my last minute booking for doggy day care. Rambo had such a good time. Her kids were really good with him too! Definitely will be booking with her when I’m in the area again!!!”


About: Now booking for May and Beyond! Hi! I’m Garrett — I provide a safe, clean, and fun home for your dog while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I love staying active with walks and playtime, but I also make sure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed like they’re at home. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing 😊 I can host multiple friendly dogs at a time, so your pup can enjoy some social time if they’re comfortable around others. I also offer baths before pickup if you’d like your dog going home clean! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to take care of your dog! I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I always try to keep a consistent routine so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
“I can not express how much I appreciate the help I got with Aggie. Flexible and even gave some great local recommendations. Our trip would not be complete if we didn’t come back and visit your family next time! Thank you.”

About: I have years of experience dealing with pets. I owned four pit bulls until their passing. Then, I owned four more for 2 years. I have pet sat for friends and family for 5 years. I had the luxury of pet sitting a raccoon and opossums. I currently own a 4-month-old toy poodle. I am in school, so I am available full-time because school is online right now. I prefer overnight appointments but anytime works. I'm usually home all day. IMPORTANT: For my safety, pick-ups and drop-offs should be before 6 pm. Pick-ups after 6 pm will incur a $20 fee. There is a big backyard for playing. I bring my poodle to the park for a jog in the mornings. I live by a big park for dogs as well.
About: I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs. I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my building’s fenced in private dog walk and playing fetch! I have a large dog crate if that is better for sitting/boarding but only if that is part of their normal routine. Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “cat proofing” the apartment and my unit has a good layout to separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog walk at my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc. I also have plenty of dog toys.
“Julie was so sweet and caring to not only Lily but me as well. She’s really great with communication, sending multiple updates throughout the day and answering very quickly. I know Lily was well taken care of. Thank you Julie :)”

“Emily took care of my dog tater like she was her own. I work long shifts at the hospital and would feel so secure knowing Emily had my baby! Every time I got to my phone throughout the day there were such adorable pictures waiting for me. Tater is still a puppy and can be a good amount to handle but Emily did such an amazing job with her. I could not have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend Emily for anyone looking to leave their fur baby with a responsible and loving person!”
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since I was 19. I absolutely love dogs, taking them on walks (or runs if needed!), and just giving them all my love. I’m working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to help out anywhere from once to probably three times a day if you want! I live in a two bedroom townhome with my 8 year old heeler. My dog is very sweet and likes to hang and walk with most dogs but can be shy when meeting a new friend. She is less excited about hyper furry friends but am happy to always do a meet and greet before booking.
“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”

This was our first visit with Jordy, our black lab, and he really enjoyed the stay. Dawn was great at communicating with us before and during Jordy's all day stay. She sent us pictures of him playing with Rice, napping and just hanging out. We will certainly choose Dawn again.

My dog came home exhausted in the best way possible! Dee took such great care of my little goofball and kept me updated with pictures! I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely compassionate toward animals. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Sloane is absolutely amazing! Finding someone you trust with your dogs can be tough, but she has completely restored my faith in pet sitters. Bear and Hamilton always come home happily exhausted and clearly well-loved. I feel so at ease leaving them in her hands. Absolutely recommend. Thank you Sloane

Ollie had a great time with Karissa and Robert (and family)! They kept him going and engaged with play as well as working on some training. They also communicated well and shared lots of pictures of their adventures. We will definitely be booking with them again!

We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!

Austin and Morgan are the best!!! Their home is safe and reliable, I am lucky to have them whenever I need to travel to Raleigh with my pup. My dog recognizes their neighborhood and cries out with excitement when we turn up their street. I’m so grateful for them

Your doggie will be in wonderful hands. It’s clear that Mara loves animals and it shows in how she’s taken care of our pup. Mara is communicative, punctual, thoughtful, and updates us with great photos/videos throughout the day. And for Winnie - she lives her best life with Mara! She always comes home tired after a big day of walks, play time, and parks. We are so lucky we found Mara.
