“Lily’s stay with Clayton was great! He made her feel comfortable and right at home. Clayton kept me informed and answered all my questions. He was great to work with from start to finish. I definitely recommend him and am certain I will use him again. Thank you Clayton!”
“Larissa was so amazing! She sent pictures and videos daily of our pups! She was more than accommodating with drop off and pick up times! She went above and beyond with everything! I would happily let her watch my dogs anytime again!”
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”
“Amanda was awesome! And super flexible to last minute changes in our schedule. Hank had a great time and was well cared for, she was super patient with him and his recent pickiness with his food. We look forward to Amanda babysitting our pupper again.”
“Chastity watched our pup with short notice and did such a fantastic job. She’s very professional and introduces her own dogs one at a time. Willow was so tired after a few days of playing at her house and we were so grateful for it! Thank you so much!”
“Teddy had a great time. Beth took him to the dog park every day which he loved! He is comfortable with her and she treats him like her own! Thanks so much!”
“Wonderful people with a friendly and beautiful dog. Really helped us out in a pinch and left me with a good piece of mind after drop off. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Very sweet person, took great care of my dog, and provided loads of cute pictures and videos. Very thankful for her taking my dog last minute, will book again!”
“Caitlin was absolutely fantastic with our little Aurora. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our furbaby than we did with Caitlin. She loved on Aurora as if she was her own. I loved all of the updates and pictures ahe sent to us! It's a good sign when our dog wanted to stay with Caitlin rather than go home. I would highly recommend Caitlin! We will certainly be repeat clients!!”
“Edwina was great with our epileptic dog and seemed experienced with every scenario she faced with him. Her and her husband ensured that he got his meds every morning and night and even stayed up with him on his first night there when he couldn’t sleep. I would absolutely recommend her services and will seek out her help if/when it’s needed again!”
“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.
“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! I will definitely use her again. Ginger was not stressed at all when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend KenLynn to anyone that wants to take a trip and not have to worry about their fur baby! You can tell from talking to KenLynn that she treats your fur baby like her own!”
About: I’ve helped my baby through a hard battle with an autoimmune disorder. I’m capable of anything at this point. Especially, loving on pups that need their caretaker to go the extra mile. I’m able to drop in around lunch and/or house sit most every evening. I can especially help travelers that want to bring their dog on vacation but don’t want to have to do all the less fun activities for their pets. I’ll do whatever it asked of me while respecting your home, your loved fur baby, your money and your time. I truly do have your back.
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.
“So very sweet, amazing communication! Our pup was very well loved and cared for. Highly recommend this awesome family to care for your pet!”
“Our English Setter (Denver) stayed with Susan over Spring Break. Denver can be a stress bomb when away from his normal routine and environment. Susan did a great job settling him down and taking care of him. When we picked him up, he was in perfect health, calm and relaxed. We will definitely use Susan again if we return to the Emerald Isle area with Denver.”
“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”
