“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
“Emma was extremely pleasant upon first meeting her and was very accommodating to my dog. While away, my dog suffered a medical emergency and because of Emma’s attention to detail, understanding of canine behavior and quick decision making, my dog survived a very dire situation. Although this is never how I would want any pet sitting experience to go, this has given me the utmost and complete trust and faith in Emma to watch my pet(s) and she will always be my first and preferred choice. Emma was very attentive to all of my dog’s needs during their time together and has even followed up during his recovery to check in on him. She is truly a kind, caring, and compassionate pet sitter and I would give her 10/5 stars if I could.”

We got several picture updates while she was sitting for him, responded to our questions immediately, and made us and Samson feel at ease as soon as we met. She took him for multiple walks in the hours she was with him and went the mile extra mile to care for us and our nerves, too. I would recommend Nicole to every pet parent in or visiting the area and she will be our first contact if the needed in the future. We are so thankful for Nicole!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.
About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.
“She did a great job with 3 difficult dogs. She gained their trust and stayed to comfort them. It was our first time leaving them. We recommend her and will use her again if she's available. She's so easy going!”
