“Daisy's stay with Elizabeth was a short visit (we had a wedding in town). Daisy was completely at ease upon meeting Elizabeth - went for two walks and probably snuggled in for a long nap. Elizabeth sent pictures of Daisy (much appreciated) and communication from booking several months out, to day of visit was great.”
“Mindy was so helpful with a last minute request! Our dog had so much fun playing with other dogs + an extra walk. Videos & pictures helped us feel super comfortable that he was having a good time.”
“My dog spent 9 months going to Eric’s a couple days a weeks. They were always accommodating with my changing schedules and always treated my dog like their own. This has been her favorite daycare so far and I can not recommend them enough.”
“Buddy had a great time with Susan and her pups! She took some one-on-one time to get aquatinted before introducing him to the pack. She provided updates throughout the day and sent some photos! We really appreciated having my someone to watch our guy while we were at the waterpark for the day. Thanks Susan, I would highly recommend her if in need of pet care while you are in the OBX!”
“Olivia is the best! We were in town and needed a list minute sitter for Stax, our dog, who has a lot of separation anxiety. Over two days Olivia gave her lots of walks and Stax came home so happy each day. Give this kind human your business!”
“Outstanding! Truffles was spoiled by Rose on her beautiful farm! Rose was very responsive with her communication and was flexible with our needs. Highly recommend if you need a dog sitter in the OBX area!!”
About: Furry friends have always been a part of my family, starting with my first big brother, a fluffy cat named Spike! With over 13 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, hedgehogs, and more, I'd love to help your pet feel loved while you're away. I've helped raise three litters of puppies (ask me for pictures!) and taken care of my aging black lab and calico kitty as they passed over the rainbow bridge. Nervous or shy pets are welcome! Whether you need a sitter while on vacation or a reliable doggy day walker, I’m here to help 💕 I work remotely, so I am available throughout the day whenever your pet needs a walk, play time, or a solid snuggle. While I'm with your pet, I'm on their schedule! I have experience with crate training, medication administration, and know how important it is to keep pets stimulated, especially when their family is away! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to roam. I also try to avoid walking on pavement for too long between 11 and 3, as the sidewalks are too hot for paws. I'd be happy to take your friend on beach walks or strolls through the Nags Head woods.
“Christianna is wonderful! They are great with Copper, and she is usually always available late notice! I always receive pictures during the stay, and updates on food and potty breaks. Copper is always very excited when we arrive at Christianna's house, and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I would definitely recommend Christianna!!”
“This was the first time we left our dog Mickey in anyone else’s care. Mickey took to Erin immediately. Erin sent pictures reassuring us Mickey was safe and happy and enjoying the company of other dogs which he never really had before. The second day Mickey happily went with Erin to go see his new friends again. Erin provides a safe and happy environment for anyone considering her care. We highly recommend Erin to care for your dog while you enjoy your time on the Outer Banks instead of leaving him alone in a strange place. Mike & Jean”

About: My name is Haley, I am 25 years old. I am a stay at home mom and fur mom. I am currently going to school online to become a Veterinary Technician, and I hope to become a certified service dog trainer one day soon. I have had dogs my entire life, they are my passion. I have three pups of my own, one being a rescue that I believe rescued me. I would love to use my spare time doing what I love and taking care of some more dogs. I have taken care of every size dog, from a 5 pound Yorkie to a 150 pound Rottweiler. Leave your dogs in the hands of someone you can trust and someone who is going to give them the love and respect the deserve. I am a stay at home mom or two, but both of my kids are in school during the day. I want to use my free time to spend it with animals and helping others with their fur babies I have a large fenced in back yard and I also have multiple crates if they are needed. I make sure to keep water available at all time and give lots of exercise/playtime
