We felt comfortable with her from the very beginning, Leah allowed us to enjoy our vacation, she’s a great communicator and sent us pictures of our fur baby every morning and night which we really appreciated, and she even left us a cute gift at the end of her stay. Can’t recommend her enough and we will definitely continue to use her services when needed!”

I had complete peace of mind knowing she was looking after him. Thank you, Evelyn, for your outstanding care, we’ll definitely be booking with you again in the future!”
About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest, I will be there too. I'm currently working a few hours in the early morning so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special pet! I'm available for boarding on weekends starting Thursday night and ending Sunday night. I do not have other animals or children in my home, only an occasional g-child, so I can accommodate a pet with high needs. I also have room to crate a dog if needed.
“Molly got along good with Cisco and she spent some time with him which we really appreciated. She also followed instructions and took good care of our buddy Cisco. I'm sure we will use her services in the future. She is a quality person that cares about animals.”

About: I have been caring for other people’s pets and my own since I was a child. I own my home in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in back yard. I have tons of room to accommodate your pets needs. I work full time M-F in Downtown Raleigh with a little bit of flexibility . I can usually do drop in visits and walks in the evenings that I work even if my calendar shows that I am unavailable I will try to work with you. I can board or house sit (or any other service) weekends. My 7 year old fur baby’s name is Bailey and she loves other pets. If your pet is staying at my home and you, for any reason, would like for your pet to be separated from Bailey that is completely fine I have the space to do that. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!!! I work full time so I am more available to give your pet the attention they deserve for boarding or house sitting during the weekends. I can do pop in visits or walks in the evening during the week. I have a fenced in yard and my friendly Beagle that would love to help keep your pet company. If you would prefer a crate I have one for your pet to use. If your pet is chewy, I would prefer to use the crate.
About: I have had pets around me my whole life: dogs, cats, fish..the usual. I have a love of fur babies. Animals usually seem to gravitate to me and I love it. Have watched and taken care of the pets of friends and family for years. My goal in caring for your pets is to make sure that even though they miss you when you're gone, it won't seem like you're gone long to them due to the love and care I will provide them. I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to devote to your precious family members. My house is small so I will only be able to come to you. I am available to devote as much time as you and your little ones need. I live in a small home with 2 others. I have my baby Willow who is 2 years old and a Boxer/Sheppard/Pit mix. We don't have a fully fenced in yard but there is a dog park nearby that I love taking her to.
“I had last minute travel for the Labor Day weekend, but Patty was super flexible. I actually connected with her as she was heading out to the beach for a few days, but she altered her plans and swung by for a meet & greet with the furry kids. Great communication every day, I'll definitely be a repeat client - Highest recommendation!!”
