“She took amazing care of Stitch for the week and treated him as if he were her own. She sent tons of pictures, kept me updated the entire time, and made sure I always knew how he was doing and what he was up to. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with her again.”

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. I started caring for animals in high school when I would watch our family dog who was a large Akita mix, and other local pets in the neighborhood. I later adopted my cat Abby who has since traveled the United States with me. I love all animals and am happy to help out with any pet care needs you have for your furry friends! I recently moved to NC and also work at a couple local bars, I'm available for walks most days and house sitting depends on my work schedule - I'll always communicate with all requests regarding my availability! I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
“Emma was such a breath of relief for staying at our home and taking care of our 3 dogs. She took them for walks which is a feat in itself as they all have different leash personalities. She kept us posted when one broke a toe nail and it bled some. She even went the extra mile when our flights were delayed due to the government shutdown to make sure they had their potty break. We will definitely being using Emma again in the future.”

“Brittany is just awesome. My fur baby couldn’t be in better hands he loves her stays and it makes my time away less stressful knowing how well he is being cared for”

“What a great experience for us and for our Chico! I could tell right away that I would not have to worry about her while we were away as she seemed at ease with Georgia from the start. We will definitely be asking her to stay with Chico next time we are out of town.”

“Alison was great and stayed with our boy over the holiday weekend, keeping us updated on how our boy was doing. She communicated her schedule so we had no concerns and we’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we go out of town!”

“Maddie was great and took great care of our dog while we were gone for one night. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about the dog. Will definitely contact her in the future for all of our dog sitting needs!”

“Elizabeth was a great sitter - her calm, friendly personality was a perfect fit for our pup! We appreciated her reliability and communication throughout the process. We returned to a happy pup and a tidy house. We'd recommend her to others - Thank you, Elizabeth!”

“Faith was amazing and took the best care of my pup! She was communicative, on time, respectful, and attentive. Faith kept my puppy on track with his schedule and cared for home like he was her own puppy. Faith was also very respectful to my home. We will definitely consider Faith again for our sweet boy!”

Suzanne was outstanding. We have had several stay in rovers but have been the most pleased with Suzanne and her husband Rick. They truly care for your animals as if they’re family. You’ll get updates, pictures, and your dogs will get quality time if you choose to book Suzanne. Highly recommend for all your pet sitting, or dog walking needs!
