“My dog loved staying at Caryn’s. Her dogs are very sweet and they went out of their way to help him feel as part of the family. The large fenced yard was a big plus!”


“She is wonderful! I got multiple pictures and videos a day. The babies had so much fun and I knew they were in good hands. I will be using Natalie again whenever we go out of town.”



“First time using this site and I had to find a sitter for my big goofy xl American bully that has a history of separation anxiety last minute. with the hurricane turning western north Carolina upsidedown my plan to get my fur baby boarded at a more commercial esque option wasn't on the table and I had anxiety leaving him with a total stranger but I felt totally at ease with my pup in her hands! she was extremely responsive at time and great about communicating what she needed me to bring, what not to bring and seeing the environment in her yard which looked like a training and agility course, it was obvious she works with dogs and has a lot of experience with them. I was a bit worried my dogs breed and size would potentially overwhelm her and worry her about having him around other dogs and her children but she wasn't phased at all and immediately juju became a 6”


“Brittany and her husband were great with our dogs! She always sent updates with pictures and videos, and kept us informed to make sure everything was okay. We messed up the scheduling, but she was very nice and accommodating so we could still pick them up. Highly recommend! Definitely would book her again.”


“Holly is great with my dog! She’s been walking her and my dog just had her first overnight stay with Holly. I trust her and she cares for my dog as she would her own. I Highly recommended her!”

“Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.”


“Very nice, professional, & good communication. Felt very confident leaving our 2-year-old dog in their care. He loved playing with their dog as well as a few others that she watched over the week. They have a fantastic setup for dogs to have freedom and play time. I would board with them again.”


“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”

“Came thru on short notice and was the perfect spot for my little guy. Her fenced in yard and limit of one Rover meant Porkchop had plenty of attention. Will definitely be a repeat customer.. ?????.. 5Paws up!”

“My Odie seemed very happy when I picked him up. Heaven communicated with me everyday and kept me updated. I would definitely request her services again!”


About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

“I was very worried about having to board my dog with somebody I didn’t know, but Valerie made me feel like my dog was being left in good hands. She would give updates and send photos showing how much my dog was being spoiled! You can tell she cares a lot about dogs, I definitely recommend her!”


About: Hello! My name is Katy! I have had animal experience my whole life from horses, goats, cats, BIG dogs, tiny dogs and everything in between. I grew up at the coast of North Carolina and helped my town rehabilitate several different animals. I am a Therapist in training so I have availability to watch your fur babies! I am a therapy student so I have flexibility throughout the week during my internship. I have many fur babies myself and several farm animals as well. I live on a small farm with several ducks, doggies and guinea pigs. We sit in the middle of 14 acres which provides a safe environment for outdoor play and a large porch for relaxing. The inside of our home is also pet proof so no toxic plants, cords or anything that could harm our fur babies.

“Alayna is so friendly and thorough! She asks good questions to ensure your pup is happy and safe. She is very accommodating and sends wonderful updates. She is doing a great job and I would recommend her!”
