“Susan is a lifesaver! I could tell the love for dogs she has within an instant of meeting her. Extremely accommodating, maintains the pup’s daily schedule and routines, and is very communicative. I highly recommend!”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“Mindy was very personable, attentive, caring and flexible with our mini schnauzer. She met all his needs and some more! We definitely recommend her for any family vacationing in Outer Banks. Our pup loved his overnight stay!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our girl with her. She kept up updated with pictures and information throughout the day. We would 100% book with her again in the future.”
“Had the best experience with Rose! Gave daily updates and pics, I truly feel that our dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and loved while I was out of town for a few days. Will return and recommend!”
“I’d give more stars if I could! Olivia was the perfect fit for my pup Teddy. I was nervous about boarding him for the first time since he is prone to getting anxious, but he was in great hands. She treated him as her own, was attentive to how he was doing, and went the extra mile to take him on walks and such. She was great with communication, sent me daily updates on how Teddy was doing, and even let me stop in to see him. If you want your pup to feel at home, Olivia is your girl!”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“Christianna was willing to keep our black lab Tazz over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were pleased that Christianna helped us out at the last minute and was flexible about the drop off and pick-up of our pet. The backyard is very large and has a 6' high wooden fence. Tazz seemed happy in all the photos shared over the seven day period. She was happy and healthy when we returned to pick her up. We have discovered that dropping Tazz off in Elizabeth City as we head north to Washington DC adds only 15 minutes one way to the drive. I would definitely leave Tazz with Christianna again.”
“Five Stars plus more. My in laws rented a beach house in the Outer Banks that dogs where not allowed. My fur baby, Penny, has never been away from us and I wasn't very happy about not being able to bring her. From the moment we dropped Penny off with Theresa I knew Penny would be fine ( we still missed her very much). Thersea has a huge fenced back yard for Penny and her new dog friends(Thersea's furbabys) to run and play. Thersea went above and beyond, every night with Facetime so we could say goodnight to Penny. Also, she made sure Penny had her nightly belly rubs. Thank you for giving Penny a fun vacation at your house. I won't hesitant to use Theresa again.”
“An amazing lady my dogs felt at home with her. I will have her set my dogs again if she has an opening. Dana is very friendly and is great with my pets.”
“Kimberly was so awesome! She was very responsive and great with my dog skippy. I was super nervous about leaving him for the first time but skippy loved his stay especially with her little hulk. She surely treated him as if he was her own. I will 10/10 use her as a sitter again.”
“Rocky had a great visit. He’s very happy and playful.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my girl while I was on vacation. I was able to go get her or just visit with her during the day and coordinating was super easy. Would absolutely use Mary again to watch my pup!”
