About: Hey! I’m a lifelong animal nerd with 20+ years of hands-on experience — dogs, cats, fish, farm animals… you name it. I’ve done everything from basic care to grooming and handling special needs pets(Diabetes and administering chemo meds). I also have a soft spot for rescues — I’ve taken in more than a few over the years, including cats, dogs, and even birds. Yup… parrot/wild bird experience too. My home is basically a safe-haven full of spoiled, happy furballs and feathers. If you’re nervous about leaving your baby with someone new, totally get it. I’m always happy to chat, send pics/updates, and answer questions so you feel good about who’s caring for your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, cuddles, meds, or just someone calm to hang with while you’re away, I’m here. Reach out any time — I’d love to help. My days revolve around my pets, I work from home so I have availability to be here or there when needed, before my full time job starts up I have even more availability! All my animals are free roam, I have a large fenced in yard, all my cats love all my dogs and vice versa. My house is pet friendly and designed for safety and ease of loving and protecting all my babies.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a child. From helping neighbors, friend and family care and love on their babies to owning my very own house full of fur babies. My husband and I foster cats and dogs with a handful of amazing rescues, we have been doing this for 5 years now and have accumulated a few “foster fails.” The last year we have primarily fostered newborn puppies or litters with mom included. Youngest animals I’ve cared for were 3 week old puppies and our oldest dog right now is 16 years young. I’m currently between travel assignments so I am home full time! I have a completely open and free schedule to help with your animals needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 pups to keep your dog company! All my dogs are up to date on vaccines, crate-trained, temperament tested, and socialized through day care. My house is also large enough where I have been able to section of an area as my foster dog/boarding area, that is completely separated from my dogs crates.
About: 🐈⬛Hello!🦮 I'm an animal-loving person working in Greenville looking to make some new furry friends in my free time!

I've also had pets of my own, including my new adoptee, Jasper 🐈⬛, and the sweet boy I carry a memorial tattoo of, Otis 🐕. I work M-F in Greenville and have an hour-long break I may take any time between 10 AM and 1 PM. I am also willing to stay overnight (including weekends!!) or stay in town after work (3 PM) to tend to your pets! If there's anything else you'd like that I don't offer: just ask!

I offer drop-in and extended stay services in or around the Greenville NC area. Let's get those tails wagging! I have a lot of free time and love to spend time with my own pets. My schedule is very open all day every day. I feed my dogs twice a day I also walk them twice a day sometimes even three times if it’s cool outside. They always have fresh water and toys.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life and have cared for them like my babies! I’m a nurse so I understand physiology and have cared for sick pets as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. I currently work remotely so I have plenty of flexibility to travel and help you with your babies while you are away. Overnight stays any day of the week are no problem. I will take care of your baby in your own home so that they aren’t traumatized by a new place while missing you. My goal is to keep them in their same routines and environment so that they have a peaceful and low stress experience.

About: I’ve been training dogs professionally for 10+ years. Google Dogs Listen To Us! I have some extra space for boarding as I’m lightening my training load for a while My whole day revolves around pet care. My pets. My training clients. My boarding clients. It’s a family affair. Someone is always here! The first and last duty of each day is the dogs. I have a climate controlled kennel building with indoor/outdoor runs for each dog. I take on a maximum of 4 dogs at any given time. We live on six rural acres. Dogs are always supervised during any play. Potty breaks are divided up between yard time and leash walks.
“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”
About: I've owned animals since I was 8 yrs of age! By this I understand that pets or not just animals! They are family and should be treated accordingly. I am a retired Army Veteran with 2 children of which the oldest (20) wants to work with animals as a the future career field. I have plenty of time to love on your babies as a veteran! Our entire home love pets and will give yours the best experience! I have plenty of yard, front and back for your pet to run around on and enjoy their stay! We are located in a small country setting away from busy streets and close neighbors.
About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” Ever since I was 2 years old I’ve had at least one dog in my house. I always found it odd I would rather be in the presence of animals instead of my fellow human beings. I’ve owned dogs anywhere from chihuahuas to pit bulls over the course of my 32 years of existence, all of which I loved dearly and miss so much. Theres no size or age of dog I would not be able to handle and care for. I understand how stressful and anxiety inducing it may be to leave your animal while you go on vacation. Allow me to care for your baby and keep their tail wagging as if it were my own! I currently have no obligations other than making sure your animal is properly cared for and loved while you are away from home. If your animal requires daily walks for however many miles or if they would rather relax and cuddle on the couch then we will do that. Whatever is “normal” for your dog, rest assured I will meet them there. There is no task I couldn’t handle or would not do for your baby. I’m of the belief that once you’ve had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished. Allow me to care for your wonderful dog while you are away. Safety and trust is most important. I like to keep schedule routine as much as possible. For example, if you crate your animal at night at 8pm and that’s what you would like for your animal while you are away then I will make sure I keep their schedule as much as possible while their parents are away. I am very quick to respond on my phone by either text or call. Again, I know it’s stressful leaving animals at home. Allow me to send daily messages and pictures of your animal to give you peace of mind while you enjoy your trip!
