“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.”
“Rose is the absolute best! Andrew loved his private suite, being able to run and play around the farm. Her farm is amazing. The facility is in pristine condition and you can tell she is an awesome animal lover. Definitely will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend Rose.”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job with our pup! We received picture and message updates throughout the week which was really nice! Our pup and Elizabeth’s dog Sprinkles became good friends which was so sweet! We would definitely use Elizabeth again and would recommend her to others as well!”
“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.”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“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.”
About: I have grown up living with animals my whole life with not only dogs and cats I had to care for or should I say privilege to care for birds as well! I work at hang glide school in winter so my schedule depends on weather and if people are sign up it little to none in the winter that is why I am doing this to pick up the hours I won’t get teaching hang gliding I have lesson at 9-11 and 1-4 but most days either there is one or none so I’m super flexible! It’s just me living in a house no Roomates no other dogs the house is surrounded by fences and there is a substantial yard. Great trails nearby for walking as well!
“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.”
“Erin was phenomenal. She was very communicative and flexible - we wanted to pick our dog up every so often and bring her to the beach to play, and she was so great about it. She has an incredible yard and gave our dog so much playtime - we got videos of her playing with the kids in the backyard, swimming in the pool, couldn’t have been happier. Can’t wait to come back next year!”
About: I’ve been taking care of puppies/dogs of all sizes since I was 5! Spending time with animals brings me so much joy and if it helps you out, it’s even better! I have a very flexible schedule and I am not committed to anything else other than watching and taking care of your lil fur babies! I live in an apartment complex but there are many areas around to walk your furry friends and all other animals around are on leashes!
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.
