Highly-rated overnight sitters - Newbern
“I was a little worried when I dropped cloudy off. This was the first time he ever went to someone besides family, but Ms. Leah made me feel so comfortable and Cloudy had so much fun over there. I appreciate her and her time and all she did to make this a great experience. I recommend her a 100 out of a 100 thank you so much,”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. The only problem I had was my Ginger tried to make me be a doggy door when we got home. She wanted to run in and out like she had gotten used to. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would use her again without hesitation.”
“My dogs absolutely love her and Snicker. She has the perfect yard for them to roam around with no tick or flea. Teresa watched them like a hawk making sure they don't eat anything in the yard they're not supposed to. She gives us update throughout the boarding time. She will be my default whenever we need to board our dogs going out of town.”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”
“What a great experience. Eboni provided updates and a ton of pictures to let me know how my Serena was doing while we we apart. I didn't have a worry in the world when I saw the smiles she had on her face and her playing with the other dogs in the big backyard. If you need a dog sitter, Ebony is the best.”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter! Our dogs have so much fun with Sammy & Archie and running around in her backyard. She is great with medication schedules and making sure our dog who is having mobility issues stayed safe & healthy.”
“My puppy Onyx had a blast I was a little fearful because I just got him and he’s so small. He stayed overnight and when I dropped him off he was a little timid. By the time I returned the next morning he was running around with her lab like they were old friends. I would definitely recommend Shannon for your furry kids.”
“Melanie was great. This was our first experience using a dog sitter and I'm not sure how it could have gone much better. We will use her every time we need this service.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Leanne was so great! We had a Nashville trip planned and our sitter fell through just a week prior to leaving, but Leanne accepted without hesitation! Communicated daily and gave me all the updates, which calmed this dog moms nerves. With being new to the area, I was nervous on who to send Kodak to during trips but I will most definitely be using Leanne again! Highly recommend.”
“Cyndy and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Mando! They made time to do a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions. She was so great at sending updates and I could tell they were taking very good care of Mando. Will definitely use them again!”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Our dogs have enjoyed every stay with Rachel and Katee! I like that they do an initial meet up with the pups before you stay and they send lots of pictures and updates to let you know your pups are doing well! Our dogs have stayed overnight twice now and it has been a great experience. They will continue to be our go to place to board our dogs. I highly recommend!”
“Linda was conscientious, enthusiastic, and so loving with our dog. It is nice to know your dog is not only being taken care of but also being cared for and enjoyed! We will be booking her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.

“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“Natalie did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of the country for a week. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and video. Our house was left in perfect shape and I know the kitties enjoyed hanging out with her!”
“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”
“We really appreciate Tony being available for our last-minute request! He went above and beyond by spending extra time with our dog, and we could tell she had a wonderful time. The playtime and attention he gave her during the middle of the day was exactly what she needed. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was happy, cared for, and getting the activity she loves. We would definitely recommend Tony and appreciate his flexibility, kindness, and dedication!”

My friends and family have relied on me to watch their animals while on vacations because they know I truly care about the well being of their pets. I'm a reliable, friendly and loving person who would enjoy spending time with your pet. I currently work full time at home during the day and would be able to watch your animal almost 24/7.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Newbern
“I can’t say enough great things about Tami. I knew I’d be gone for most of the day and she took excellent care of my high energy border collie/lab, Bella. She sent pics of her playing with another dog which was awesome. I will definitely call her again for all my fur babysitting needs.”
About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama , we always had strays make their way to us. We took care of them until their next home. Weather it was dog, cats, goats or turtles etc. I was there to make sure they had a friend. I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother so im well educated in understanding dogs and able to tendbto thier needs/prefacence. We have a large backyard fenced, covered & partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. Dogs of all sizes are welcomed although I do prefer them to be house/potty trained due to my youngest boys running around. I take my oldest son to library/park at times we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there (if a dog is leash trained very well I'm okay bringing them to the park with us & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips,and random fun days, we are at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom.
“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”
“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”
“As a new user, I found that Sarah was so helpful in explaining how the app worked and what to expect. My puppy was very relaxed with Sarah and waiting by the door for me when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use the service with Sarah again.”
“Ashley took great care of our family member. He was recently rescued and she was very accommodating and knowledgable about his timid personality. She was flexible with our last minute scheduling needs because we didn't even think that we were going to need doggy daycare while on vacation. I definitely recommend her!”
About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.
“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. I also live with my partner who can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). We have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in our primary bedroom.
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY great with King! He took to her right away and after the Meet and Greet, I was comfortable and convinced that King would be well looked after, and he was. Lauren is very attentive which is great since my fur baby is a Senior dog. You will not be disappointed if you book with her! Thanks Lauren!”
“I cannot recommend Melanie enough as a dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my shy little Daisy, and I could tell right away that my pup fit in and felt safe in her care. Melanie’s pack of mini Aussies were perfect companions, and my dog absolutely adored playing with them. It was heartwarming to see her come out of her shell, and I’m sure it’s because she got so much attention, exercise, and socialization with Melanie and her furry friends. She even discovered a few new toys to fall in love with! I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would trust Melanie with my dog again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for treating her like one of your own!”
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
“Shannon takes great care of Lilo during my long work days. Lilo even warmed up to her right away and now can barely wait to get into the door to see her 🤣 I am so thankful for all her time and how responsive and kind she is!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young kid, I’ve taken care of family/friends dogs making sure they have the most fun ever I’m currently working on Tue-Sat so on Sunday and Monday I have most of my free time being with them and having fun with them I live in a apartment and I have enough living room space for naps and playtime and I can even take the on walks while they are here

With being new to the area, I was nervous on who to send Kodak to during trips but I will most definitely be using Leanne again! Highly recommend.”
“Cyndy and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Mando! They made time to do a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions. She was so great at sending updates and I could tell they were taking very good care of Mando. Will definitely use them again!”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Our dogs have enjoyed every stay with Rachel and Katee! I like that they do an initial meet up with the pups before you stay and they send lots of pictures and updates to let you know your pups are doing well! Our dogs have stayed overnight twice now and it has been a great experience. They will continue to be our go to place to board our dogs. I highly recommend!”
“Linda was conscientious, enthusiastic, and so loving with our dog. It is nice to know your dog is not only being taken care of but also being cared for and enjoyed! We will be booking her again!”
“Always blown away by Katie’s services, and our two dogs always have the BEST time with her! She went above and beyond for this stay, where she had my two dogs during a rough winter storm, and was still able to keep the dogs active and having a blast! We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough!”
“My golden retriever Cooper had a great time visiting Cait and her dog. She sent me plenty of dog videos and pictures to let me know he was doing well, and she was very flexible in my booking as I needed someone to look after him for a few days on relatively short notice. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Laura is awesome! Very kind clearly loves dogs and sent me videos and photos every day. My dog came back super happy and tired from a good day running around her yard.”
“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”
“Thank you Sarah for taking care of our Pepper! She had plenty of room for herself, and plenty of room to play with the other pups! She seemed to enjoy herself from the pictures I received while staying with Sarah! I will definitely use her the next time we need a pup sitter!”
“Omg Lindsay and her daughter are awesome. Scooby is hard to deal with but she melted when meeting the daughter and fell in love. So happy I found them through all the good reviews from rover”
