Karisa is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for someone to watch your pup, do not hesitate to book her! We were in Raleigh for a military ball and at the last minute (1 hour before needing to be at the event) was told our hotel did not accept pets. I contacted Karisa and she responded immediately! She has a great, clean, home and was so kind to my pup! Thank you again Karisa! Next time we are in the area we will definitely rebook!

I’ll definitely send him again when needed, and have already recommended them to friends. Could not have have been better! Thank you so much 💕

I always get nervous when I leave our baby with someone new but Vanessa made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She pays attention to details and even let us do a meet and greet before hand at her home. She took amazing care of Sadie and sent me daily updates with pictures that made being away from her so much easier. Thank you Vanessa!

About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!

Sloan did an outstanding job caring for both my dogs Teddy and Tootsie! I received detailed updates and frequent pictures of the both of them. She made sure to ask good questions to prepare caring for them and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I could tell when my dogs came back home that they had a great time with her!

Bo is a 16-year-old dog who has anxiety and doesn’t really like change so I was very nervous to leave him for five days. Carlita was so patient with Bo. She also helped ease my worry by sending daily updates with pictures/video! The first and last time we boarded Bo at a facility he looked depressed in the cameras; with Carlita he looked happy and was smiling!! I will certainly be reaching out to Carlita in the future! Thank you Carlita for taking such wonderful care of our Bo!!

We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!
