“Arden is the best! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with my schedule. Pups were happy and seemed to warm up to her immediately. We are from a different state so we didn’t get the chance to meet beforehand but I was confident she’d be a great fit and was correct! Anytime we are in town she will be our go to ☺️”

“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”


“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”

“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”

“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 !”

“We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs. I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my building’s fenced in private dog walk and playing fetch! I have a large dog crate if that is better for sitting/boarding but only if that is part of their normal routine. Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “cat proofing” the apartment and my unit has a good layout to separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog walk at my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc. I also have plenty of dog toys.
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!
“Re’Anna was so kind and understanding. She was able to accept my last minute booking for doggy day care. Rambo had such a good time. Her kids were really good with him too! Definitely will be booking with her when I’m in the area again!!!”


“Karissa and her kids were amazing with my Brinkley! Super sweet and communicative. Followed instructions and administered meds my pup needed. Will definitely be my go-to sitter in Raleigh!!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember—they’ve always been part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to more laid-back or shy dogs. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, and everyday care, and I really enjoy spending time with them. Friends and family trust me to look after their pets because they know I’m reliable and genuinely care. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or just keeping them company and making sure they’re not alone. I live in a pet-friendly 2 bed, 2 bath apartment with a spacious and bright living area where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. There’s a greenway right downstairs and Dix Park nearby, which makes it very convenient for safe and enjoyable walks. I always keep a clean, calm environment and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Julie was so sweet and caring to not only Lily but me as well. She’s really great with communication, sending multiple updates throughout the day and answering very quickly. I know Lily was well taken care of. Thank you Julie :)”

“Absolutely amazing caregivers!!! My little angel had a blast with Yamy and Alfonso. They are completely understanding and gentle to my little fur baby. 110% booking again!!”

“Natalie and her pup Otis are the best!! My pup can be nervous in new situations and she was wonderful with him. Otis is sweet and playful and happily welcomed my pup into his home. I got lots of pics and updates! Will be booking with Natalie again!😊”

“I’m so glad I found Daniela! You can tell that she is very kind, good natured and really cares for dogs. It was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but it worked out perfectly! She was very reassuring and communicated with me throughout Priss’ stay.”

As always, Gus loves going to Julie’s! He’s so comfortable there and whines with excitement when we pull in her driveway. We had a special circumstance today and Julie was kind and flexible with a fluctuating pickup time. We appreciate Julie and the care she gives Gus every time 💕

Fraggle made himself right at home during his meet & greet six weeks before and again upon arrival at his first day of daycare! It speaks volumes to see your dog instantly comfortable in a new space, with new people. Isabel and Drew demonstrate a genuine love of dogs and an interest in understanding their needs and normal schedule. Fraggle has an upcoming longer stay already booked, and I know he’ll be in good hands!

My dog came home exhausted in the best way possible! Dee took such great care of my little goofball and kept me updated with pictures! I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely compassionate toward animals. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Sloane is absolutely amazing! Finding someone you trust with your dogs can be tough, but she has completely restored my faith in pet sitters. Bear and Hamilton always come home happily exhausted and clearly well-loved. I feel so at ease leaving them in her hands. Absolutely recommend. Thank you Sloane

Ollie had a great time with Karissa and Robert (and family)! They kept him going and engaged with play as well as working on some training. They also communicated well and shared lots of pictures of their adventures. We will definitely be booking with them again!

Austin and Morgan are the best!!! Their home is safe and reliable, I am lucky to have them whenever I need to travel to Raleigh with my pup. My dog recognizes their neighborhood and cries out with excitement when we turn up their street. I’m so grateful for them

Your doggie will be in wonderful hands. It’s clear that Mara loves animals and it shows in how she’s taken care of our pup. Mara is communicative, punctual, thoughtful, and updates us with great photos/videos throughout the day. And for Winnie - she lives her best life with Mara! She always comes home tired after a big day of walks, play time, and parks. We are so lucky we found Mara.
