Michelle was a wonderful sitter for AJ! She was kind, thoughtful, and communicated with me throughout the visit. AJ loved her, and enjoyed all the walks and outdoor time. She treated AJ like her own and we are grateful we did not have to worry for his care while we were away.

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.

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.

Flannery was wonderful! She was able to take my pup pretty last minute and was very communicative while I was away. Titan was very well cared for and I received photo updates frequently. Will definitely trust her with my fur baby any time!

I never have to worry when I go out of town when she is taking care of my cat emily. She is an excellent caregiver. She has no problem giving oral medication. Emily loves to talk to her. She absolutely adores her pet sitter/boarder when her mommy is out of town. I really really appreciate her taking great great care of my baby girl.

Kimberly was very patience and nice with my Bella. I know Bella can be very challenging and often a hand full. She did an awesome job. Thanks, again Kimberley. Job well done. I will recommend her to everyone I know.

Theresa did a great job taking care of Asher. He got to hang with 3 other fellow canines & got to be a guest at her dog Maggie's birthday party 🥳🥳. She played ball & Frisbee with him & gave him much love. Got great updates & I felt very assured he was well taken care of She has a wonderful fenced in back yard the dogs can run to their hearts content.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

Teresa was wonderful to our dog, and they became good buddies. She was very reliable and sent us updates and photos. She helped us at the last minute when our original sitter had to cancel. We are very grateful to her and would have her again if we have to be away.
