“Everything went well. It was a last minute request, and and they were very accommodating and flexible. Thanks again to Robert, Gigi, and Peanut.”

About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.

“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”

“Lejune and Michael were beyond awesome! This was my first leaving my doggie with someone other than family, and it was the best experience. I loved getting pictures of my fur baby. I would def recommend booking with them!”

“Jesse helped us out with a very last minute request to watch our dog for the day and we’re so glad we found her! Our dog had a great time at doggie day care with Jesse and her family. They provided her with lots of exercise and play, as well as lots of love. I showed up to one happy dog at the end of the day. Jesse is a good communicator and provided updates and pics from the day. We would recommend Jesse for any dog sitting needs!”

“Ridge just finished his 2nd stay with Charlie and had a ball. He loves his new friends and Charlie is so good and patient with him! As a lab puppy Ridge was CRAVING socialization and Charlie offers the perfect set up and outlet for him - fields to run and friends to run with - all while we know he's well supervised and getting great care!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet! As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, whether that means playtime and enrichment for younger pets or providing a calm, nurturing environment for older companions! I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and compassionate care. I love getting to know each pet’s individual needs, favorite activities, and little quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering extra TLC to anxious pets, or making sure your furry friend gets plenty of cuddles and playtime, I always go the extra mile!! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine! I currently have plenty of availability, allowing me to give each pet the time, love, and attention they deserve! In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owners! Pets in my care receive plenty of attention, affection, enrichment, and supervision. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I make sure they feel right at home and are treated like part of the family! In Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand how important it is to maintain consistency and respect their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and household routines to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and cared for in the comfort of their own home!!

About: I am currently doing Rover part-time, I’m also working 2 other part-time jobs, however, for one of them I get to choose my own schedule. If given enough notice (usually a week) I can take off the days you’d need from one of my jobs, and then just schedule my other around it! I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and caring for them! Ive taken 2 pre-vet classes and would love to have a job working with animals full-time, no matter the job! As of now, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work Thurs-Sun, never more than 8 hours + my other job I can pick my own schedule! I am free all other weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I prefer having the option to crate in case I need to go out for a bit, but I have taken care of pets who didn’t need one! Your pets are treated as my own when they are here, we take long walks around my apartment complex, I have treats for both cats and dogs, and many toys! Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible

“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”

Benjamin P.

“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”

About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own. Your fur babies will have a large space indoors to play and snuggle. They will have an even larger outdoor, fenced-in space to run and play as they wish. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home, so I am available all day to care for your pets, walk them and be there for them. They will feel right at home! I like to follow the schedule that the client has set for their pets at home so that pets can feel a sense of continuity in their new environment. I customize my care depending on each pet and their unique needs.

“Sandra is amazing with the doggers. Very attentive and her place gives them plenty of run/play room. She is always making sure all the dogs get along with each other and gives them all a fair chance to play with each other. Very accommodating day and time wise and very affordable too. She is always willing to make suggestions and answer questions concerning care and behavior dilemmas I may have with my pup. If he could talk he would say “I love going to Ms. Sandra’s for play dates” and gets very excited when I ask him if he wants to go see her. Give her a try you will keep going back.”

“Nadia took great care of my boy - he played lots with her dog and came home tired!! Got lots of photos all day which made me still feel a part of his day.”

“We are new with Renee, Kuro has been consistently going in for day care for the past 3 weeks and I must say he has a blast. He is happy to go there, gets to play with other pups. Renee is patient and very attentive. She accommodates requests and also goes that extra mile to care for our pup. Thank you Renee.”

About: Hello I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have rescued 2 little ones of my own when I moved into my own house. We have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and area to play! My in laws live on an island in the Caribbean and whenever we visit we care for the many stray animals that are on the island! I work from home daily so my schedule is really flexible and can accommodate last minute bookers! Taking breaks throughout the day is easy to do with such flexibility! Pets will be supervised and any instructions/rules will be followed that is given by the client. Pets are treated with the same love and care as humans.

About: I have three of my own dogs and have cared for animals for clients for years, I genuinely enjoy fur babies! I want to give your pet the same love and care that I give my babies, furry ones and human ones! I only work outside the home two days a week, so five days of all day play and love! On those two work days they will only be alone for 5 hours :) I have three fur babies, that would love to keep your babes company! I have partially fenced yard, and tons of room to run and play. Can also crate if necessary!

About: Hey! I have worked with animals for over 10 years. From sitting to fostering. I currently live on 2+ acres with a fenced in area and an non fenced area for unlimited play and run time. I am a full time student that is home all day, my schedule is very flexible. I am also available around holidays as well to help out when needed. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, a part of my family. I have multiple places within my home and outside of my home to create a safe place for your pet if they need down time, play or love.

“Erika was great. Quick to respond, asked questions about care for Lucy, and friendly! I’d definitely use her again in the future. Lucy loved her!”

About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.

“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
