“Jessica took such great care of our doodle. I hope to use her again if the need arises. She provided daily updates and videos of our Bailey and it was easy to see she was happy and comfortable with Jessica and her pets. She was super to communicate with and responded quickly. It was such a relief to know Bailey was in good hands while we were away. You can tell Jessica enjoys caring for your furry loved ones. So glad we found her!”
“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Amelia and Grant were absolutely awesome! From the moment I dropped off my dog Anna, I could tell she was in great hands. They were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Anna looked so happy and comfortable in every update they sent, and she came home relaxed and well cared for. It's such a relief to know she's in such loving hands when I'm away. Highly recommend Amelia and Grant – we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Excellent 7 day boarding experience. Frances was friendly, highly communicative, and professional and Blaze returned happy, healthy, and well taken care of. We highly recommend her service and will definitely use it again.”
“Biggie and our pack just moved cross-country and needed a last-minute sitter for him while we viewed some homes. Jennifer and Matthew were fantastic, and so kind. They promised to take care introducing him to their kids and another dog, kept communication open, and sent photos that showed how happy he was running and playing. As much as I missed him, I can tell he had a blast with them. We look forward to the next visit, thank you both for making our first Rover experience in NC such a good one.”
“Lauren has watched our dog twice now and been amazing both times! Our dog looked to be treated like family and having a great time in the many pictures and videos we got while gone. We would definitely happily have her watch our dog in the future!”
“We’re so glad we found Nancy! This was her first time watching our senior dog, who has a few special needs, and she took such great care of her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly has a big heart for animals. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Pet sitting in my home has been a dream come true! I have countless years experience caring for dogs and communicating with their owners. I met my husband while managing a boarding kennel in the mountains. I have professional training administering all basic (and not so basic) needs and structure to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while in my care. I welcome puppies and am happy to work on potty training while in my care! I am also an approved foster for several local dog rescues and I usually host puppies - so far they have all left for their new homes potty and crate trained. Your pets will be treated like our own dogs - family! I also provide a clean environment with regular yard waste pick ups throughout the day. No poopy paws here! I am available for drop offs and pick ups 7 days a week between the hours of 8am and 8pm. Earlier drops offs can be arranged beforehand if needed for traveling purposes. For the safety of my family (and your own), I do prefer Meet and Greets before boarding. As well as, current shot records for Bordetella, Distemper and Rabies. I am a stay at home mom and pet care is literally my daily life - our two dogs have their daily routines that naturally fit into my life as a mom. My children (ages 4, 7 and 9) also know how to both love and respect dogs in our care. We spend most of our time in our 3 acre yard playing and exploring our woods. I have a 4' fenced in backyard and live on a dead end road - a very safe neighborhood for kids and dogs alike! I am home 24/7 other than the occasional errand. Pets will always be securely separated when not being supervised.
“Florence took great care of our dog Rowdy while we were away for 3 days. It was his first time being boarded, but he felt right at home with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Had a great experience with Aquisha as my dog sitter! She was super communicative, sending plenty of pictures and videos to keep me updated. She made sure my dog stayed active and happy the whole time. Definitely planning to rebook with her in the future!”
“Brad sent me lots of pictures of my pups having fun with Brad, his wife, and their two pups. I think they were having more fun than I was having while I was out of town. I recommend Brad and would definitely use him again!”
“My dogs stayed with Daisy for 8 days and had a great time. Daisy kept them safe and entertained. She also sent me lots of pictures and updates while she cared for them, so I was able to relax and not worry about them while I was away.”
“Mathias is the absolute best! He takes incredible care of Kaiser. So much so, Kaiser starts to get excited whenever we‘re close. By the end of his stays, Kaiser returns as a happy, playful pup :)”
“Danielle was very loving and attentive with remy. she kept me updated and sent pictures to reassure me remy was having a great time. communication was top notch. clean home, great yard and neighborhood for pups. i will definitely book again!”

“Ruby always has a great time at Nicholas & Sara’s house! Plenty of space to roam and they’re always great with getting her lots of exercise. We fully trust them with Ruby and are our #1 go to dog sitters!”
“Christina was great! She was very communicative and kept me in the loop about what was going on with Max the whole time. I’d definitely trust her with my little buddy again.”

This was my first timing booking with Piper and I’ll definitely be using her again! I always get nervous leaving my pups with someone new but Piper made me feel super comfortable by letting me meet her sweet pup Stella and sending me pictures during their stay. They were well taken care of and had the best time with their new friends!
