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.

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.

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!
