About: I have always had a great love for animals. Since I was a child with my first rabbit, I have helped care for family, friends and neighbors pets. Through the years I have had several dogs and cats. I currently own a farm with donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens. Here at the daycare, I have my own dogs, guiena pigs, hedgehogs, chinchilla and a turtle. I left the world of people. After caring for animals as a passion, I decided that I wanted to make a career out of it. I left the world of customer service so that I could focus on spending all of my time doing daycare and Boarding. My facility is open Monday thru Friday from 7am to 6pm. During those hours we operate daycare, intake and release for boarding and grooming. After hours we are here for feeding, walking, playing. I own and operate a boarding and daycare center for pets. I can care for and board any size animal from a goldfish to a horse. I live on site so your pets are looked after 24 hours a day. We have common areas where pets can interact if you wish, as well as private kennels. All pets are walked atleast 5 times per day in our fenced in back yard on or off leash. They have plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather permits. All areas of the building, including kennels are climate controlled. We also provide grooming services if you are intrested in having your et groomed during their stay. We provide food but you may also bring your own as well. We will feed on your schedule.

Best Rover ever. Lauren is AWESOME! If you don't book with her, you'll be missing out. Our 3-year old lab, Auggie, was well cared for and thrived while staying with Lauren. Lauren communicated with us regularly during Auggie's stay, so we knew exactly how Auggie was doing. If we vacation in the Outer Banks in the future, Lauren will be our first call.

Dutch's behavior is not any different than what it was prior to the visit. I would definitely be looking forward to requesting Latraykelles services again !

Very highly recommended! Chantal and her husband were great caretakers for our two dogs for a week’s time — even more than we could have expected. They have a beautiful, spacious, safe place — both indoors and for when they had to go outside. My husband and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them there while we were away. From the beginning during our meet-and-greet through pick-up at the end of our trip, we saw just how kind and calm they were, treating our dogs just like their own dog and providing lots of interaction and play. Also, Chantal was extremely accommodating of our 7 month old puppy’s “puppy behavior” and attentive to the need to go outside more frequently. She provided updates every day (and was very responsive to other questions) and we could see just how relaxed our pups were, as if they were staying with family. We are definitely planning on using Chantal’s services the next time we need to go out of town.

About: I grew up on a working farm, so I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. My family and I bred, raised, and sold labrador puppies for many years. Neighbors and friends have also relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit their pets. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible allowing me to cater to your timeline. I prefer a week in advance notice, but if you're in need of last-minute care please reach out, I'd love to try and help. I live in a very rural area, perfect for walks and outdoor play with your pet! I have a fenced yard, pet-friendly indoor space, and crates for your fur baby if needed. *Please note* I do have a toddler, so if your pet is not child-friendly, please notify me in advance.

Nicole was so wonderful! If there were more stars, I would definitely give them. She was so communicative and kind. And I could tell she took care of my pups just like how I would. She sent tons of photos and quickly responded. I’m always a little anxious to leave my babies, but she eased all the worries. I hope to board with her again.

About: I was raised around animals of all kinds. I have experience with puppies, kittens, adult cats and dogs, as well as, senior pets. I have spent time working in a professional dog boarding/daycare facility, and I have gained experiences in dog behaviors, interactions, and care. I can administer medication and follow any special meal requirements including special diets or any special feeding routines or habits. I am comfortable with cats of all sociability and dogs of all kinds. No one is too big or too small! I am at home full time caring for my nieces and nephew ages 2, 10, and 14. I do prefer that any guests are friendly with children, cats, and dogs, but I do have space to separate if needed. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around yours! I am also available early mornings and late nights to help you provide your pet the best care. Ensuring the safety of your pet is my top priority. I will follow any instructions exactly. I will take extra care with reactive dogs and make sure that I am aware of all triggers and rules that you may have for your pet. I will follow rules you have for your pets how I would want someone to follow mine.

About: Hi! My name is Shakira I have been working with many different types of animals for years! I have experience with basic medicine, medication administration, and many other important concepts of animal care! I am passionate about my job and would love to help you care for your pet! I have pet sitting experience with many clients from past veterinary clinics, but I am looking to expand these services to more locals! I have worked with many species, including farm and exotic animals. I specialize in dogs, including utilizing low stress techniques for aggressive or anxious dog breeds. Please contact me for any information regarding booking or if you have any more questions or concerns. I’m excited to hear about you and your pet! I currently work from home. Other than small errands, I am home throughout the day and can provide frequent supervision and potty breaks when needed. I currently have no pets in my home, so if selecting to board, your animal would have my full attention. I do require that animals are comfortable with young children. If selecting day care, I am experienced with accessing homes for walks and pick up/drop off.

About: I have been a dog owner for as long as I can remember and a cat owner since 2008. I strive to care for any pet just like they were my own. I plan to utilize all of my pet care giving knowledge to ensure that each pet under my care receives the best of my services. If one has a pet that has special needs, such as deafness, then I have experience with caring for special needs pets. I also cared for uncommon pets, such as snakes and cockatiels, and am willing to house sit or pet sit for anyone who are owners of these types of pets. In regards to house sitting, I will be sure to keep each room clean and organized and care for any pets in the house. I work as a dog groomer Tuesday through Saturday, but I am able to take Hamilton with me to work. On the days I'm off, Hamilton and I play fetch, tug, and watch TV. I have a spare crate for any dog to be boarded at my place, and Hamilton loves to play with any dog, cat, or person.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of pets, my own, for 17 years. I grew up with cats that were my responsibility, and am now a dog owner. I have fostered puppies and currently care for a (near) senior dog. I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and with advanced notice, I can usually meet most requests made. I do take time to travel with my dog on weekends, so I may not be available for weekend boarding. I have a room dedicated as a dog space in my home, and I have the ability to crate dogs as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a tie out cord and leash for dogs that need more attention outdoors.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

Shakira saved my dog’s life!! When I went out of town, she noticed that my dog, Jenny, was acting strange. With my permission, she took him to the vet right away, moments before he had a seizure! It was her help that allows us to diagnose Jenny’s diabetes and she has cared for her ever since! She helped us find the best way to give Jenny her shots, since she is so timid and scared of needles (understandable). She also gives her injections when we’re out of town! We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our Jenny. Great job Shakira!!!!!!

In regards to house sitting, I will be sure to keep each room clean and organized and care for any pets in the house. I work as a dog groomer Tuesday through Saturday, but I am able to take Hamilton with me to work. On the days I'm off, Hamilton and I play fetch, tug, and watch TV. I have a spare crate for any dog to be boarded at my place, and Hamilton loves to play with any dog, cat, or person.

I have known Aikiera for about 5 years. We met specifically because I was having health issues and needed help with my dog. She was excellent and my dog got so excited to see her coming. We only agreed on walks, but I’d often look outside and see them playing in the yard.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

To Whom It May Concern: Toni Martin is a loving, caring pet sitter for every "fur baby"!. I believe Toni is very professional, trustworthy, generous with her time and most importantly, compassionate and loving to her own pup, and my kitty cats. I know you can remain at ease and secure knowing that Toni is watching over pets. She is responsible and accommodating. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving animal care giver.
