About: I have experience in the boarding kennel field for almost 10 years now and grooming for about 4 years. I can administer medicines and I’m not afraid to clean up messes after your fur babies. I have worked with big breed and small breeds and everything in between! No pup has ever scared me away from this field of work! I have 4 dogs of my own, from a Cane Corso to a small Lab mix with two Pitbulls in between. I love going on walks probably just as much as your fur baby. I can spend time with your pups Thursday - Friday 8:30 am to 2 pm and Friday to Sunday 8:30 to whenever you need. Every other day during the week I am spending time with my daughter while she’s out of school and my husband when he is home from work! If my schedule is conflicting with the times you pick, we can try and work around it. So hopefully we can work something out. I am flexible with whatever you or your fur baby will need. Even if its a belly rub... (For the pup haha) I cant wait to meet you and your pups! I sadly do not have the space for boarding your fur babies at my own home as I already have 4 fur babies myself and a toddler. But in your own home, I will follow every rule or instruction you provide and give them my full attention!
About: I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
“Tori is the absolute best! Know that she is taking care of our fur baby, gives us just the best peace of mind!! Kodi loves her. We love her, best of both worlds!”

About: I have owned and fostered dogs for years. As a stay at home mom, dogs will get plenty of love and attention and a big fenced yard to play in. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dogs. I stay at home during the day and can be available most any time to provide care. I have a large fenced in yard with two playful pups of my own. Both are fixed, one is small and one is medium sized. I also have 2 children, one toddler and one 9 year old who understand animal respect and love to play.
“Somyr did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs will bark your head off and I was a little nervous. After a few treats she told me he was fine and that was amazing to hear and let me know he was comfortable with her. I received the cutest pictures and will be booking again!”

“Seymour and Abe love Lucia. She’s prompt, dependable, and has always responded to texts/emails quickly. She keeps me updated on the walks. I don’t worry at all when they have a booking with Lucia.”

“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”


“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was a little girl and have taken special care of all kinds of animals for well over 10 years including friends, family and my own as well! With my daughter in school now and currently working a part time job as a front desk assistant, I will have plenty of time to play and care for the needs of your fur babies! I will come to the clients home at your convenience. I also enjoy going on walks if allowed and making sure your animals get the care they need!
“I am so grateful for Kris! She is so kind and accommodating. Our dogs are a little high maintenance (one has some behavioral issues and the other has special needs) and she was more than happy to take care of them. In the past when we’ve had a poor experience with other walkers my dogs are stressed when I get home. Every time Kris has taken care of my dogs they seem so calm and content! She leaves detailed notes about the visit and sends lots of pictures, which I appreciate. She also stopped by to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. I would 100% recommend her services and will continue to book with her!”
About: In addition to owning dogs my whole life, I watched my friends dog for 8 weeks, kept up her training, took her on walks, and made sure anything the owners normally do I also did. I am currently in Southern Pines and more than willing to watch your pets and have all the time for them! I can bring them out every hour, we have a fenced in backyard , and I truly can do anything needed for your pet! I love animals more than people! I make sure that whatever you normally do with your pet I will too whether it’s certain walk times, needing medication, keeping up on their training or just hanging with them!
About: As an animal science major and currently working in the animal nutrition industry- my days revolve around making sure animals are happy and healthy! I have almost a decade of experience in pet-sitting and multiple years working in small animal veterinary clinics under my belt. I am comfortable taking care of senior animals with special needs or requiring medication. I can be very active for keeping high energy or puppies content <3 I look forward to loving your animals as my own! I work a very flexible job with some work-from-home days or intermittent work hours- usually, no more than 3 hours gone at one time! Weekends will be spent with your animals! I have no dogs at home, so your pup will have my full and undivided attention! I have access to a fenced-in dog park just steps from my front door and love love love to go on walks with a four-legged friend. I am only able to host hypoallergenic dogs stay in my home but would love to care for all kinds in their own home. I do have one cat of my own at home, so they will need to be able to cohabit.

We are new to the area and have gained some freedom now that we have found Gail who can walk our dogs and stay with them overnight. During our meet and greet we introduced my 3 dogs with her one so we know that they will get along if they are together. Gail shows up on time, can handle walking all 3 dogs at one time and was even able to coax our shy/aggressive one into her leash. We are fortunate to have found Gail.
