“My babies had never stayed with anyone overnight other than family so I was nervous at the thought of leaving the girls but after finding Myra on this site & meeting her we were at ease. Jessie & Lou Lou liked her right away & her home is set up to easily keep fur babies. Myra kept in touch with us while the girls were at her home & they both seemed very happy when we picked them up. We’ll definitely contact her the next time & we do recommend Myra.”
“Natalie and her husband took care of my three sweet rugrats very well! She was generous to let all three sleep in their bed as well. I appreciate them so much and will definitely be using them again when a trip comes up. Thank you guys!!!”
“Buddy had a fantastic time with Karen and her little dogs. When Buddy went for his meet and greet, we immediately felt welcome and he seemed to quickly get along with the other little animals there. I appreciated Karen’s updates, photos and videos, and know that he was very well taken care of, while being boarded. Buddy looks forward to coming to play there again, thank you so much!”
“Rachel is AMAZING!! This was my first time boarding my pups (one with anxiety) and using Rover. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 11/10 experience! We did a meet and greet ahead of time, which was super helpful. She has a wonderful setup! A nice, large, fenced-in yard for them to run around and play. The upper deck is perfect for my pups looking out over the yard and resting in the sun. Rachel is a fantastic communicator sending multiple updates, pics and videos throughout the day. With my permission, the dogs were allowed on the couch and provided lots of cuddles and she even slept in the spare room with them (just like home). For my pup with anxiety, she moved slow and gave her time to adjust and settle. My babies got all the play, love and attention they are used to (plus a little more) 😊😊 Also, Rachel was very flexible with me for drop-off and pickup as we were going out of town. My heart is so full knowing my babies were so well cared for! Thank you Rachel!!!”
“This was our first visit and the first time my dog has ever been boarded. Kathleen was wonderful—she sent pictures and letting me know that Kenzie was doing fine…which really helped put my mind at ease. She went out of her way to make both me and my Kenzie feel comfortable about being apart. So grateful for the care and thoughtfulness!”
“Bethany and her family were such a blessing to us! We were traveling for 10 days and each day we received updates and photos that let us know our babygirl was in excellent hands. It was so nice to have no worries while we were away. We will reqch out again for future reservations!”
“Allison and Rick were very accommodating to my boy. Sent me pics and gave me updates. I know he was well taken care of there. I would definitely use them again.”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
“1000% love that Roxie and Gizmo are so well taken care of with Deborah and Ron! And my pups look forward to going there, they know they are going before we even pull up!”
“Was very nice and attentive to my girl and was kind enough to humor me when I had a last minute change of plans it defiantly helps that he lives near by lol will defiantly think of him next time I need a sitter.”
“Very grateful for Nancy accommodating my dog and letting him stay! They have an awesome backyard that he loved and lots of toys to play with. She updated me with photos often which I love! It seemed like my dog had such a great time and felt very loved while staying!”
“This is only the 2nd time we boarded our dog. This time she did not have any issues when we picked her up. I like the opportunity to be able to text and either respond to question from our boarder or us to ask questions. I really felt that Katie cared about our dog. I would definitely use Katie again. Very trustworthy!”
“We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.”
“Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.”
“I recently hired Michelle to care for my dog, and it was an amazing experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that Michelle is a true dog lover. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, which made me feel at ease. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided excellent care, ensuring my dog received plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, and videos showing that my dog was enjoying his time. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for anyone needing a caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Mrs. Brooke and her family are just phenomenal!!! The care and love they given our fur babies while we were away was just incredible. Mrs. Brooke kept us posted and sent updated pictures Highly recommend!!!! Thank you again Mrs. Brooke for your time and effort for caring for our dogs we def recommend and will use her services again!!!”

“Thank you so much Jenny! I did not worry a bit with you in charge while I was away. Bear seems to have done quite well. From our initial meet-and-greet to your thank you note and cute bow tie for Bear, your attention to your customers (humans and pets) has been top notch! Thank you so much for your dedication and passion! You will hear from me again!”
“Cassidy was so friendly and helpful while we were out of town! Our pop-ins weren’t particularly exciting since our cats won’t come out for strangers, but she ensured that they were well fed and watered and her communication was exceptional. Thanks Cassidy!”
“Kaitie is amazing. Simply incredible! We got daily check ins, pictures, and since we were out of town during Winter Storm Elliott, she was extra attentive to them since it was so cold. When we first met Kaitie she was warm and kind, and our social cat rubbed up against her immediately, and fell at her feet. A good sign! I would highly recommend Kaitie for your pets. She loves animals, animals love her, and we never worried about our furry family while we were away. Five big stars!”
“Luca was the best sitter we’ve hired! The cats were well taken care of and it looked like they got a lot of snuggles. We came back to a clean house and happy kitties! The communication was prompt and all of my extensive directions were followed to a T! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares hire Luca! 😊”
“Stephanie was prompt and able to cover us on last minute notice. She took care of our two cats, fed them and replenished their water, and did their litter daily (more than we had asked her to do). Appreciated her help and quick communication.”
About: I have always been an animal lover, and have taken care of many pets in my life. I enjoy cuddling and walking at night time. I am currently working M-TH 8-5. I can provide weekend care and walks after work and can also walk after work if it is needed. your dog will never be alone and I will make sure they are taken care of at all times and get the most care and attention they need.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my understanding that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m a cat owner myself and currently care for two cats with very different needs—one is energetic, playful, and vocal, while the other is shy and prefers quiet, low-stimulation spaces. Because of this, I’m very attentive to reading body language and letting cats interact on their own terms. I prioritize creating a calm, stress-free environment and never force attention. Whether a cat wants playtime, companionship, or simply someone nearby while they nap, I adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. I’m very consistent with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and general tidiness. I understand how important a clean litter box is for a cat’s health and happiness, and I take pride in keeping litter areas fresh and odor-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits and communicate any concerns right away. Because I work remotely, I’m able to check in frequently and provide steady, reliable care throughout the day. My goal is always to make cats feel relaxed, respected, and cared for—just like they would at home.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by pups and has always had dogs as part of my family. Currently, I have an Australian Shepherd and a Lab, so I’m very familiar with both high-energy playtime and laid-back cuddle sessions. I’ve also worked at pet boarding facilities, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. From feeding routines to playtime and keeping pups comfortable while their owners are away, I truly understand what it takes to provide safe, loving care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable daily visits and walks. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’d love to help keep your furry friend happy, active, and well cared for!

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am confident with playful puppies, calm senior pets, and even shy or anxious animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding can easily be adjusted around my routine, so your pets always get the attention they need. Whether mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I am available to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry family members I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties. I have a large fenced yard -- especially-so since my house sits along North Center Street. I also use carabiners to make sure that gates are locked.
About: I’ve owned or taken care of dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family are very comfortable calling on me to care for their dogs. Currently, I am fully retired and miss my own little fur baby. I would love to snuggle and care for your dog. My hours are very flexible to suit your needs. I regularly walk dogs out doors and give them much attention. In my neighborhood all dogs will be kept on a leash as per the law.
About: I have nearly 10 years of experience with dogs. For the last 4 years I have been running my own business where I breed health tested and titled AKC Labrador Retrievers. All of my dogs live in my home. They are our “kids” and our entire world revolves around them. Prior to this I managed 2 different boarding/daycare/training facilities, one in Wilmington NC and one in Catawba NC. Due to this experience, I have learned so much about dog behavior, training, proper structure within a household and/or pack of dogs, etc. I take pride in how well behaved my own dogs are as well as how they are able to co-exist with all dogs. My entire life revolves around my dogs and any dogs that stay with us. I am home 24/7 with the occasional hour or two of running errands so you wouldn’t have to worry about your pup(s) being left for hours on end. I always make sure your dog(s) energy/training needs are met - mentally and physically. I also (as long as approved by the you/the owner) am happy to allow play time with our dogs under my supervision! We do require your dog(s) to be up to date on parvo and rabies vaccines or titer testing. We thoroughly clean crates/floors/toys every day to ensure we are keeping a sanitary and sickness free environment.
“Our puppy had a great day at Amy's. He got along with her dog and she sent me photos of them playing. I was able to relax knowing that he was in good hands while I was at work. I would definitely book Amy again if I needed a dog sitter!”

About: I have been working with dogs for 15 years. I started my professional career as a Vet-Tech, then started helping out clients reactive dogs, and now operate a small dog training business. I work remotely so that I can keep a close eye on your dogs. I built 2 luxury dog runs in my garage to provide a calm/safe place for your dogs to relax. As long as everyone gets along they are more than welcome to snuggle with us on the couch. Daily walks, a fenced in yard, and years of dog training experience means your dog is well cared for while you are away. They also leave my home with some new skills or commands.
“Kahlynne was absolutely amazing. I needed someone to watch my dog on short notice and she came through! I could tell Timber had a blast while he was with her and he was loved on so well. If you need someone to watch your dog I recommend you go with her!”
“Katherine was great. As a first time dog-mom, she put all my fears at ease by answering any questions I had and my pup had a great time! Will definitely be using Katherine in the future.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, friends, friends of friends and strangers for years! I grew up with dogs and cats in my household. I have experience with multiple animals at one time in addition to strict diet and medication schedules. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to accommodate your animals needs at any given time! My biggest concern as a pet owner is leaving my pet with someone that doesn’t love my animal as much as me. I can assure you that your pet will be the center of my attention when I’m with them. I believe in treating people the way they want to be treated and I’ll be sure to make your animal feel loved while you’re away.

As a remote worker, I offer pet care services in the client's home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care and meet their pet's specific needs.
About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00 however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.
“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
“Alex is so helpful with walking my dog Zola while I work 12 hr shifts. She is very communicative about everything that happens during the walk and sends lots of great pictures! She spends the whole time with my dog, and Zola is always fulfilled when I come home!”

I’m currently working part time at a grooming salon, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule is pretty flexible & I always figure out how to make things work! I always pet sit at the clients home, to make pets feel more comfortable! I always make sure they feel comfortable & cared for when I’m there, if I ever feel there’s a time they are not comfortable or scared I will call the owner & ask if there’s anything I can do! Safety & being comfortable is a big thing for me, I do require a shot record & up to date rabies vaccine for me & the pets safety!
“I really appreciate Rilea W’s help walking our Poppy while we were away for the day! She came to walk her 3 times. Each time she sent pictures and communicated with me. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby.

The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

I provide all sorts of care for pets, your pet can either come to my house which has a partially fenced in yard and a partially finished basement. Pets will also have free range of the house and are allowed on the furniture and are welcome to sleep where they are comfortable. I can also come to your home to care for your pets if that is something that is more comfortable for the pet owner. I work from home and have a flexible schedule for the most part. Contact me with any questions. Thanks!

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up. From big dogs to little dogs, I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them all the love that they could possibly want. I am a teacher and currently have my summer off. I can stop by any time you need me. I prefer to come by during the day but will stop by any other time if needed. I will treat your pet as one of my own. Let me know of any requirements your pet may need and I will do my best to meet them.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, friends, friends of friends and strangers for years! I grew up with dogs and cats in my household. I have experience with multiple animals at one time in addition to strict diet and medication schedules. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to accommodate your animals needs at any given time! My biggest concern as a pet owner is leaving my pet with someone that doesn’t love my animal as much as me. I can assure you that your pet will be the center of my attention when I’m with them. I believe in treating people the way they want to be treated and I’ll be sure to make your animal feel loved while you’re away. As a fully remote worker, pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I am available to care for your animal as needed, providing responsible and attentive care. As a remote worker, I offer pet care services in the client's home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care and meet their pet's specific needs.
About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.
About: I've trained my own dogs from the puppy stage and taken care of them in the senior stage. I love all of it. I enjoy going on walks with any of the dogs I take care of while also making sure they are having fun too. I can take care of any needs for your dogs and cats. I have been working on my "people skills" as I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm comfortable with pets; its people that I sometimes struggle with. If given the chance; you'll see that I will take wonderful care of your beloved pets. I currently work full time Monday - Thursday but I am available Friday - Sunday. I have free time on the weekends to spend with your pets. I live in a calm neighborhood and love taking the dogs on walks around the area. I have no pets at home currently and live alone so your baby will get my undivided attention.
“Denise is fantastic and Bud looks forward to his walks with her. He is a country dog who moved to the city, and she is helping him acclimate to the new sights, smells and noises - and a much shorter leash. Thank you, Denise!”

I'm part time in college student and employed and I have plenty of time in my hand. What do i enjoy doing in my spare time more than a nice walking during my fav season Fall with the windy breeze on a sunny day.

I will be taking pictures of the dog to the owner to insure trust and loyalty.

“Natalie and her husband took care of my three sweet rugrats very well! She was generous to let all three sleep in their bed as well. I appreciate them so much and will definitely be using them again when a trip comes up. Thank you guys!!!”
“Rachel is AMAZING!! This was my first time boarding my pups (one with anxiety) and using Rover. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 11/10 experience! We did a meet and greet ahead of time, which was super helpful. She has a wonderful setup! A nice, large, fenced-in yard for them to run around and play. The upper deck is perfect for my pups looking out over the yard and resting in the sun. Rachel is a fantastic communicator sending multiple updates, pics and videos throughout the day. With my permission, the dogs were allowed on the couch and provided lots of cuddles and she even slept in the spare room with them (just like home). For my pup with anxiety, she moved slow and gave her time to adjust and settle. My babies got all the play, love and attention they are used to (plus a little more) 😊😊 Also, Rachel was very flexible with me for drop-off and pickup as we were going out of town. My heart is so full knowing my babies were so well cared for! Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Bethany and her family were such a blessing to us! We were traveling for 10 days and each day we received updates and photos that let us know our babygirl was in excellent hands. It was so nice to have no worries while we were away. We will reqch out again for future reservations!”
“Allison and Rick were very accommodating to my boy. Sent me pics and gave me updates. I know he was well taken care of there. I would definitely use them again.”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
“1000% love that Roxie and Gizmo are so well taken care of with Deborah and Ron! And my pups look forward to going there, they know they are going before we even pull up!”
“Was very nice and attentive to my girl and was kind enough to humor me when I had a last minute change of plans it defiantly helps that he lives near by lol will defiantly think of him next time I need a sitter.”
“This is only the 2nd time we boarded our dog. This time she did not have any issues when we picked her up. I like the opportunity to be able to text and either respond to question from our boarder or us to ask questions. I really felt that Katie cared about our dog. I would definitely use Katie again. Very trustworthy!”
“We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.”
“Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Mrs. Brooke and her family are just phenomenal!!! The care and love they given our fur babies while we were away was just incredible. Mrs. Brooke kept us posted and sent updated pictures Highly recommend!!!! Thank you again Mrs. Brooke for your time and effort for caring for our dogs we def recommend and will use her services again!!!”
About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.
“Jessica was awesome! She was very easy to communicate with, sending pictures and videos our our little pup. Being a puppy, we know he is a handful but she did a great job and we did not feel like he came home with bad habits. He had so much fun with her Golden and was definitely tired after the time there!!! Overall very pleased and definitely recommend to anyone who needs help!”
“Laura was wonderful with our mini Bernedoodle! We felt so comfortable knowing that he was in a safe and happy environment. She sent us texts and photos throughout his stay so that we could keep up with how he was doing. We will definitely call on Laura the next time we are in the area! 5 stars!!”
“We left our very anxious dog, Judo, with Sarah and Erik for 2 weeks while we went out of state for our wedding. She can really struggle with new people and men, but she warmed up well (it took a few days but that’s just Judo)! I got many updates, pictures, and videos all showing me that Judo was having a good time. I could not have picked anyone better to watch her. She got along great with their dog, Rosie, who was happy to play or just hang out! I would absolutely have Judo stay with them again.”
“Absolutely 5 star service with Megan! She sent me daily photos and updates of my fur baby, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to focus on my work while I was out of town. I will most definitely book with her again and highly recommend you do as well!”
“My puppy Reef had such a great time playing with the doggies at Scarlett’s home. He literally slept all day when I picked him up. Scarlett’s home has a great backyard so the dogs can run around. She sent great pictures and communication was amazing. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Camilla was so great with my pup. I received a lot of update pictures and information about her stay. Camilla was flexible with pick up and drop off times as well. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
