“Eric and family are amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Eric went out of his way to make us comfortable and accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“John and Zena have been nothing short of amazing! This was my first experience with dog boarding of any kind and they took car of our nervous shelter pup Benny like he was one of their own. Drop off was seamless and he has taken extra steps to ensure they are comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much for taking care of Benny!”
“Christianna was very accommodating of our last minute sitter request for our golden retriever. She was very flexible, taking him in at 11pm on our way to the Outer Banks. We received pictures during Wesley’s stay and Christianna always responded quickly to any messages. We would definitely leave Wesley with Christianna again and recommend her to anybody’s fur babies.”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“Would definitely recommend, my dog can be a little complicated and needs a little extra love and these two took care of him great. Definitely will be back and thankful they helped during a holiday!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
“We have left Rey with Courtney twice now and she has an incredible setup to ensure my dog felt safe and happy to play with other dogs. Will continue leaving my dog with Courtney whenever I have the need.”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“Took very good care of my fur baby!! He even had to think twice about leaving and coming home with me! I was almost offended but so glad he felt safe, loved and comfortable! She even went out her way to buy him a new bone when he finished all of his! Already booking her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”
“Rose took care of our puppy Rip for 1 night, last minute. I would highly recommend her services and will def be using her again. Our puppy was so happy when we picked him up and she has plenty of yard for them to run around in. Nice farm!”
“Jon has been a great sitter for Jinger, we're glad we found him. Our trips are better knowing she's being care for well. We truly appreciate Jon and 100% recommen him for your pet care. Thank you so much Jon!!!!”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”
“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”
“Always know Lily is having a great time so we can too while away. Kristen makes sure she gets plenty of snuggles and fun. Recommend a stay with Kristen if you want a worry free experience for your fur babies.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She spent time with him and sent videos during our vacation without “over-sharing “. I felt like he was in good hands and it’s the first time in a long time that he didn’t mark all over the house because I went out of town!!”

“Melanie and Addison, thank you so much for watching my dogs over the weekend. Your communication and notes were nice to work with, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave them.”
“Miguel was "ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!" A 5+ Star pet sitter/the BEST! He arrived early for the meet and greet. He was very pleasant, polite, professional and trustworthy! I was nervous about leaving Whiskey for the 1st time (he was a rescue), but I had no worries at all while I was out of town. Miguel sent lots of pictures and updates while I was gone. Miguel gave excellent care of my new kitten with "LOTS of LOVE." In fact, he told me that he became very attached to Whiskey. Miguel spoiled Whiskey with lots of extra attention and play time. Miguel said that he will miss Whiskey. Miguel went the extra mile and way above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him! Whiskey & I look forward to Miguel coming back very soon. We are so happy with Miguel and his love for animals.”
“My four-pawed friend, Millie, and I loved Vanessa's housesitting and drop-in visits. We are sad that she has moved out of our area. For anyone in her new area, I highly recommend her. She is personable, professional, and loving.”
About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets. I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated. My schedule is accommodating so I'm open to last minute bookings and can guarantee quality time with your pet. Please feel free to text or call. Look forward to meeting and getting to know your pup. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for sitting most weekdays and weekends just let me know what days you need. I will be happy to take your dog for a walk on a leash during the day or let them run around in a fenced yard if you have one. I can easily crate them if you need me to.
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our cat, Chloe while we were out of town. She sent us pictures after each visit which we really appreciated! Our cat usually runs and hides when visitors come in the door, however she greeted Taylor each time. She even let Taylor pet her. I highly recommend Taylor to look after your pet!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around animals and regularly care for pets for family and family friends, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including helping younger pets learn routines and giving extra patience and gentle care to older pets. I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Renee is a warm caring person who left my kitties feeling all the love and attention while I was out. Not to mention she was a great communicator caring for senior cats. She is such a blessing and I will be using her for all of my pet needs!!”
About: With several years of cat sitting experience I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family by providing check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment with their own routine, and I’ll treat your Cat/cats with the same care and patience I’d give my own.
“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I have experience with rescues that have special needs, puppies, as well as senior care.

“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”
“So many wonderful things to say about this place and host. This was our first time using rover and I wish I had discovered Rose sooner! The facilities were impressive and I knew immediately Jolene was going to have a fun and safe experience. Rose is extremely professional and great to work with. I will not need to look further when booking in the future :)”
“Eric helped us out on short notice and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our dog, Mylo, was well taken care of and all tuckered out when we picked him up🙂 We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area!”
“Taylor was fantastic. She is very flexible with her time and very patient. She arrived on time and did a great job with my high-energy Siberian Husky. I will definitely re-book her.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Ohio taking care of all sorts of animals. Being a Dog Mom myself I know the daily stress and worries that come through your head while you're busy days take over your schedule. We make bath time fun, or at least try our best! Every dog has their own personalities and needs throughout the day- am here for them and you! My constant goal is to provide the security to you and fun to your fur babes at any time because I understand life isn't 9-5 and your needs cant be confined. I have an open yard and an open floor plan house for all the zoomie needs. We are a walkable distance to the Experimental forest for short or long winded walks. I have space for crates and a large crate for use if needed. My babe Zoe will keep great company to your pet and share all of her toys. Your pet will be so loved however you want to utilize my service opportunities!
About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).

About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
“This family was great with my pomchi! They showed my puppy nothing but love and she loved them in return! I had to book with them last minute and they were okay with it and very flexible with their time and availability. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
“Liz was fabulous and understanding of my dog's anxiety and did well with calming and reassuring him. He settled in and got lots of love! And her Sprinkles is just the sweetest! I look forward to being able to use her again when I'm in town! Thank you again so much Liz! Hugs and tail wags from both me and Echo!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“Georgia got the best care with Rachael & Garth- they sent a bunch of pictures though out the day too and we had a such a peace of mind knowing she was in good hands!”
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.

About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.
About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets.

“We started using Miguel for occasional walks for our two dogs recently and it has been great! He shows up as scheduled and it’s nice knowing our dogs get some extra exercise during the day with someone who enjoys walking dogs.”
About: I love animals of all breeds, temperaments, and age. I promise to greet and treat your animals as if they were my own. Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit. I service the local area (Camden, Shiloh, Elizabeth City, Currituck) with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work in Elizabeth City M-F from 5-1. For this reason I would recommend only sending a request if your animal is also used to being on a working schedule (left 8+ hours). I will supply visits before and after my working hours. We can discuss specifics based on your location. I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Since I was 10, I've always loved watching and caring for dogs and other animals. I started by helping neighbors with their pets—feeding them, taking them for walks, and making sure they felt safe and happy while their owners were away. Over the years, I've learned to understand animals' moods and needs, whether they're playful, shy, or anxious. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm environment for pets. Because of this, I would be a great sitter—I know how to keep animals comfortable and cared for, making sure they get the attention and love they deserve when their owners can't be there. No matter the animal i’ll be there for them! I worked at a pet store for over a year which taught me a lot about any sort of animals and their health. Since I already have a puppy with my own schedule, i’m totally used to juggling pet care! I know how to fit feeding, walks, playtime, and rest into my day, so adding care for another pet would just be a bit of extra love and attention. My experience with my own pup means i’m great at keeping routines steady and making sure every animal feels cared for. It fits naturally into my schedule because im already a pro at managing a furry friend’s needs! Besides my pup, I balance that’s with a box turtle, two hedgehogs, three leopard geckos, two cats, and at my parents house I take care of their two dogs, and two fresh water fish tanks. I can take care of animals in lots of ways depending on what they need. Whether it’s walking them to make sure they get exercise and fresh air, house sitting so they have company and someone to watch over them, or just stopping by to check on them to feed, play, and give them attention, I’m ready to help. I understand how important it is to keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am usually available most week days and weekends ( except the ones marked off my calendar), for house sitting and drop in visits. I can walk your dogs and keep the house and yard picked up during my stays. I will spoil your pets with lots of love and attention Safety is always my first priority. I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!
“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life from my own animals to my friends and families. I always was the first of my siblings to volunteer to help feed, walk, watch over, bathe, and learn about animals and it's since been a passion of mine. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets in my free time. I the sweetest cat,Olly, so I definitely get creative with indoor/outdoor activities. I have a variety of cat toys that your animal will have access to (depending on your preferences), puzzles and home made interactive games so your pup will constantly be entertained and hopefully tuckered out when returning home!
About: I have three dogs with my family. A Great Pyrenees, German shepherd, and English Retriever. Which we raised from puppies. We have also raised chickens. I have always grown up with animals and will love and take care of yours like family. I am a college student with a very flexible schedule, Monday-Sunday. I have taken care of several multi-pet households from high energy german shepherds to the biggest of couch potatoes. I have taken care of dogs and cats in the same household and will maintain their routine and give them many potty breaks. PS: I know my photos dont look the best whoever I am working on it and you will receive many updates on your pets day I am a college student so my schedule is very flexible and allows me all the time in the world to love your pets. I am available Monday-Sunday starting at 10am til whenever I am needed I will follow whatever schedule you give to the letter. The average day would be breakfast in morning with a 30 min to an 1hr walk to give them all the time to digest and get that energy out. In the afternoon I will either play with them outside or go on another walk. In the evening is dinner and another walk or playtime so they can take that well deserved nap. In between those walks I will always be near and doting on your pet (unless they show discomfort) and making sure they get there potty breaks and water is filled. I couldn't imagine treating your pet anyless than my own.

Leave your dogs in the hands of someone you can trust and someone who is going to give them the love and respect the deserve. I am a stay at home mom or two, but both of my kids are in school during the day. I want to use my free time to spend it with animals and helping others with their fur babies I have a large fenced in back yard and I also have multiple crates if they are needed. I make sure to keep water available at all time and give lots of exercise/playtime

“Eric and family are amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Eric went out of his way to make us comfortable and accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“John and Zena have been nothing short of amazing! This was my first experience with dog boarding of any kind and they took car of our nervous shelter pup Benny like he was one of their own. Drop off was seamless and he has taken extra steps to ensure they are comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much for taking care of Benny!”
“Christianna was very accommodating of our last minute sitter request for our golden retriever. She was very flexible, taking him in at 11pm on our way to the Outer Banks. We received pictures during Wesley’s stay and Christianna always responded quickly to any messages. We would definitely leave Wesley with Christianna again and recommend her to anybody’s fur babies.”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“Would definitely recommend, my dog can be a little complicated and needs a little extra love and these two took care of him great. Definitely will be back and thankful they helped during a holiday!”
“We have left Rey with Courtney twice now and she has an incredible setup to ensure my dog felt safe and happy to play with other dogs. Will continue leaving my dog with Courtney whenever I have the need.”
“Rose took care of our puppy Rip for 1 night, last minute. I would highly recommend her services and will def be using her again. Our puppy was so happy when we picked him up and she has plenty of yard for them to run around in. Nice farm!”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”
“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”
“Always know Lily is having a great time so we can too while away. Kristen makes sure she gets plenty of snuggles and fun. Recommend a stay with Kristen if you want a worry free experience for your fur babies.”
About: I have had my pup since I was 17 but she passed away over the summer. I have a lot of free time and love for animals. i’m currently working part-time so I would be able to play with your pup and take on boarding pretty much anytime, including weekends and holidays. I have a spacious house and yard, so enough room to run around or relax. I can accommodate your pet if needed, crate or not, it’s totally up to you.
About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time as it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!
About: Your animals will love coming back to me, I’ve grown up with dogs multiple from every breed cocker spaniel, dachshund, labs you name it I’ve had one and although we aren’t in a spot to have one of our own we love the idea of having there company around because they are a mans best friend. I’m in the military and have a weird schedule but I’m always home by 7pm and I’m available between 6am and 11am and even earlier if you really need me to be. I love animals as I said before and it would be my honor to watch your pet and I’ve watched pets for my co workers all the time... very active so your animal will be active too. Full time military, work close to home very friendly with animals. Fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable at home I’ll have full access throughout day, cozy warm setting, very laid back. Perfect for cuddles and walks and exercise and space for eating and treats
“First time leaving my pup with Rebecca. I am very high maintenance, though my dog is usually super easy. Rebecca was so easy to work with. She was so responsive, sent me lots of great photos and happily answered my neurotic questions about whether Milo ate, etc. Rebecca is a great sitter. Highly recommend.”

“Flannery is phenomenal! Rodi, my one year old Yorkie, wants attention and to play all day long. Flannery kept Rodi occupied with new experiences throughout Flannery’s daytime and evening activities. I’m grateful the dog was not left alone. The biggest compliment I can give Flannery is that when I picked the dog up, I barely got a greeting. This behavior tells me the dog had a wonderful time - without me! I highly recommend Flannery and if I need doggie daycare in the future I will certainly contact her. Thank you Flannery!”
“Rory had a blast with her new friends, and I was glad she was able to learn to play without getting carried away. I owe June and her husband an apology for picking her up so late. We started unpacking and I forgot to check my messages.”
