“Kristien did amazing with my boys!! I re river many photos of my happy boys! Could not have been more grateful as I moved into my new house without having to worry about the dogs.”


“She really took care of my baby like he was hers. I could tell he was comfortable and loved the whole time he was with her. I was nervous at first because that’s my heart, but the way she treated him and kept me updated gave me so much peace. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and that’s all I could ever ask for. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”



About: **Please note, I cannot accept super high energy or anxious dogs and like to keep a playful, but stress free environment for all the pups :) Dogs must be fully potty trained in other peoples homes and be dog friendly to other dogs. I have been pet-sitting, dog training and volunteering for various animal organizations for over 25 years allowing me to be very “In tune” with dogs and their needs. Your pup will have full-time one-on-one care and we provide a safe and fun place for your pups while you are at work or on vacation . I send photos and updates daily so you can know exactly how they are doing. I take as many walks as the pups need and do not watch more than 2 dogs (That makes 3 with my girl) so your dog will always have personal care in a fun and stress-free environment! Feel free to contact me for a meet and greet! =) ********IMPORTANT NOTES!!*********** **Due to proximity of neighbors and that I have client calls, we cannot have dogs that continuously bark out of respect for my neighbors. I work from home and your dog will have lots of full time care and cuddles. I do not take more than 2 dogs at once so your dog will have lots of personal attention. Drop off and pick up times are from 7:00 am - 9pm. We have a fenced in back yard and also live waking distance to a quiet greenway entrance for lots of sunny walks in nature for exercise if needed.


“Karisa was responsive and eager to take our last minute booking. We were so appreciative and our puppy Gracie seemed to have enjoyed herself. Will definitely re-book soon!”


“Lyna always enjoys her stay with Meghan and Wesley. She looks forward to it when we pull into the driveway, and seems to have had a great time when we pick her up. We are fairly picky Rover users and will definitely continue using Meghan’s services!”


“Sloane was great with spade . This was our first time leaving him with someone and I feel we picked the right person for the job . Times changed last minute and she was able to accommodate with no problem . Will definitely use her again !!”


About: I have cared for dogs for the past 9 years from all walks of life. From dogs that are at the end of their life stage and need a little extra TLC to young bloods that need to be taken out for nice long walks to be tuckered out. I have cared for fish, guinea pigs, chicks and fully grown chickens I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of spare free time to give each pet that care they deserve! I have reliable transportation so that will also not be an issue I can care for pets in my home or the owners home. There are parks near where I live and I have a back yard that would allow the dogs to feel at home. I can also care in their own respective location with walks around the neighborhood, feeding, checking to ensure the water bowl is full and picking up after the pet.

“This was Twix's first time being left without his family. He is people shy but Austin and Morgan were wonderful. They asked great questions to get to know him and they let him take his time exploring the house to get comfortable. He warmed up quickly and loved playing with their pup. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to future stays. Thanks!”


“Adrian was so great! I needed a last-minute sitter for a couple days and she was able to take care of my boy no problem. I got a lot of updates and pictures on what ghibli was up to, and he got tons of exercise and got along well with her dog. She even accommodated me when I was running a little behind and had to pick Ghibli up a little later than usual. Highly recommended !”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly something I love. From dogs and puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight stays and medication management. I currently have a young Doberman, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s routine, energy levels, and emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I bring a responsible, loving approach to every animal I care for. I have a flexible schedule and a comfortable home in Raleigh where pets can feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I work from home, so I’m available almost around the clock to care for your pet’s needs. Your dog will also enjoy supervised playtime in my fenced backyard, giving them a safe and fun space to get their energy out! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home in Raleigh with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. My home is fully dog-proofed, and I supervise all pets closely especially during feedings, playtime, and outdoor breaks.

Whether it’s giving extra attention to shy dogs or ensuring high-energy pups get the exercise they need, I’m committed to making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands at all times.

About: Our love of dogs goes back as far as we can remember! Between the two of us, we have decades of experience working with, fostering, and caring for pups of all kinds. Kara’s first job at 15 was at a boarding facility, and over the years she has developed a passion for dog training as a hobby, enjoying the process of teaching new skills and building trust with every pup she works with. Jake grew up surrounded by animals and has spent years caring for friends, family, and clients’ pets—he’s also an avid runner who loves taking a four-legged buddy along for extra exercise and adventure. Together, we have fostered and placed over 50 dogs in loving homes. As a team, we offer the perfect balance of attention, structure, and affection that every dog deserves. Whether your dog is young or old, perfectly trained or a little rough around the edges, we know how to make them feel comfortable and part of our pack. We both work remotely, so there’s always someone home to keep your pup company during the day. Dogs are welcome to hang out by our sides while we work and snuggle up at night. Our schedules are flexible, making it easy to accommodate most routines and requests. We make sure every dog gets a proper, stress-free welcome. New arrivals are given time to sniff around and settle in at their own pace before meeting our dogs in a controlled and safe way. Our home has a large fenced yard for playing fetch and getting out extra energy, plus comfy dog beds and crates for rest time. Walks happen twice a day, and to ensure safety, we always feed our dogs separately from guest dogs. With both of us caring for your pup, they’ll get extra love, attention, and playtime! SCHEDULE We both work remotely, which means there’s almost always someone home to give your pup plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Our schedules are flexible, allowing us to accommodate most routines. Boarding is available on weekends and weekdays, and we’re happy to discuss any special timing needs to make sure everything works smoothly for you and your pet. SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large fenced yard where pups can safely play and explore, along with two friendly resident dogs to keep them company. We use gates throughout our home to create separate spaces when needed, giving dogs the option for alone time or a calm environment. If crating is part of your pup’s routine, we can easily accommodate that as well. All introductions are done slowly and safely to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone.

“Chloe did an excellent job taking care of my pet! She was very attentive to all the details, from feeding instructions to daily routines, and made sure everything was handled perfectly. She kept me updated with clear communication and photos, which I really appreciated. It’s clear she takes her role seriously and truly cares about doing a great job. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented sitter.”


“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”


“Nickie was a delight and our pup took right to her. She always greeted us with a smile and was great about sending us pics and even took him to the dog park on multiple occassions. Highly recommended.”


About: I have years of experience dealing with pets. I owned four pit bulls until their passing. Then, I owned four more for 2 years. I have pet sat for friends and family for 5 years. I had the luxury of pet sitting a raccoon and opossums. I currently own a 4-month-old toy poodle. I am in school, so I am available full-time because school is online right now. I prefer overnight appointments but anytime works. I'm usually home all day. IMPORTANT: For my safety, pick-ups and drop-offs should be before 6 pm. Pick-ups after 6 pm will incur a $20 fee. There is a big backyard for playing. I bring my poodle to the park for a jog in the mornings. I live by a big park for dogs as well.

About: Once a dog owner, now there are just niece and nephew pups in the family. I rather talk to dogs then people 🤷🏾♀️ sorry folks. I'm currently working on building my business remotely from home. I do tend to leave in and out during the early parts of the day, accommodating my children's schedule my evenings are spent at home. I can easily crate your furry friend. My children love animals. Food and water is always supplied. We will visit dog parks enjoy exploring outdoor activity
