“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”
“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Crystal was just what we were looking for! She was so caring and we knew our puppy would be well taken care of. She sent us pictures/video each day so we could keep in touch and feel at ease that she was doing well. Thank you, Crystal!!!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Emily and William are amazing! They are so welcoming and take great care of our dog. Kodi loves staying with them and his best friend Duncan. Highly recommend!”
“Alice was fantastic over the holidays! Butters and Freckles were happy, well cared for, and we loved the frequent updates. She also fed our cats daily and left the house clean. We felt completely at ease while we were away and would definitely book her again.”
“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”
“Vanessa is the absolute BEST! We had to short notice board our dogs after a very hectic month of moving around. Both of our dogs are tired and confused from all of the moving and Vanessa did such an incredible job making them feel loved and like they were at home. Great communication, daily photos and so much love for our sweet pups. We will definitely be using Vanessa and her wonderful family again.”
“Molly was fantastic! She took great care of our needy rescue dog, was communicative, and followed our many requests. Molly has a peaceful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“I boarded my dog Louie with Gregg for 12 days, and both myself and Louie could not have been happier with the experience. Louie had a great time, and Gregg was a fantastic communicator and sent pictures and updates every day. I highly recommend Gregg for daycare or boarding!”
“I hope I can board my dog there again and again. Julie was friendly, on top of everything, and my dog looked sooo happy in every one of the numerous photos Julie sent me. She gave me a daily update and answered everyone of my questions instantaneously. I had flight issues on my vacation return and she was so flexible and kind about it all. Overall rating TEN out of five!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“Brittany was amazing! She and her family took great care of our Daisy. She was kind, caring and provided a warm and welcoming home for our sometimes shy and timid dog. She sent daily updates with pictures and even some videos, which really put us at ease while we were away. We definitely hope to use her again and highly recommend her.”
“I can’t thank Cherie and her family enough for taking such great care of my dogs. They are very anxious and not always easy, but she showed them so much patience, kindness, and love. Knowing they were with someone so sweet gave me such peace of mind. Highly recommended and will definitely be bringing my boys back!”
“Angela (and her own little dog and young son) provided a wonderful week for my old, anxious little dog. She kept me posted with her photos and comments - Sandy clearly felt at home and very secure. I will definitely be booking with her whenever we need boarding or day care for Sandy!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”

“Annalia was so great with our cat, River! She sent thorough updates each day and even went above and beyond by trying to groom River (he hates being brushed!). She brought in packages for us while we were gone on vacation and generally kept an eye on things. She was also very responsive to messages (responded promptly). Will definitely be using Annalia again!”
“Shae watched my 2 cats while I was out of town and was great! I felt at ease leaving town knowing she was taking care of them. She provided daily detailed updates with pictures and played with them every day. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hillary was amazing to my cats 🐈 they loved her , specially my cat Zoe. She earned my cats trust and love ❤️ she followed feeding instructions and exceeded my expectations. She was really sweet to also feed some strays for me 🙂 will definitely book her again ! Thank you so much Hillary !”
“Angelica was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time we'd left the cats alone since we moved into a new house. Angelica kept us posted while she was doing the drop-in visits, sending photos with adorable descriptions as she went along. Whenever she wasn't sure about anything she asked questions, which I appreciate so much. Most importantly, the cats liked her! I will definitely be asking her to take care of them again in the future.”
“Uli is the best!! We are so grateful to have her as our regular pet sitter. Oriole is always happy when we return because Uli has taken such great care of her. Thank you, Uli!”
“Gwen did a terrific job caring for my cat, Stormy. During our initial meet and greet, she asked all the right questions regarding Stormy’s dietary needs, play preferences, and habits. Gwen was conscientious in preparing her food, which required blending in a dietary supplement. She has demonstrated excellent “cat sense” and was able to quickly establish a warm relationship with Stormy. On occasions when I needed to communicate with her, she would respond quickly and positively. Her reports were thorough and concise, and her photos and videos were very useful to help us monitor a lip condition Stormy had developed shortly before my trip. In all, Gwen is a delightful individual: personable, a good communicator and professional. I will certainly look for her to care for Stormy in the future.”
“Sharon has brought so much peace of mind when we travel. I am so grateful to have her care for our animals. In addition to our cat, Sharon takes care of our ducks - I highly recommend her if you also have livestock pets.”
About: Ive been around dogs my entire life and have always created a special bond with them. Im always relied on to be a primary caretaker for my family's pets. Through years of hands-on experience, Ive equipped the tools that are necessary to understand each dogs personality and needs. I am a patient and attentive person who is committed to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Im currently working from home, allowing me to spend more quality time with your pets. Im available seven days a week and my schedule is very flexible. I will make sure to maintain routine while monitoring health and safety of your pets, providing them with the love and attention that they deserve.
About: I’ve had dogs big and small my entire life, and am comfortable with any dog from my mother’s stubborn Bassett hound to my uncle’s giant English mastiff. I understand that not all dogs love other people and animals, and have experience restraining them or avoiding circumstances that would put stress on the dog. I also run, and can give any dog the amount of exercise it needs! I’m a recent college graduate that is home for the summer before my big-girl job! I have very few plans and can walk dogs any time of day. I have a fenced yard, but am currently not planning on doing sleepovers. My mother’s basset hound has some resource guarding issues that we’re working on before we allow other dogs into the house.
“Our 2 cats were very happy and calm after their stay! We got great updates and photos during their stay. We were very pleased and will book again next month for our vacation!”
“Another fantastic cat sitting visit from Mackenzie. I really appreciate all her daily notes and pictures to let me know what's up with my senior cat. She's been very trustworthy with an old cat that needs to be medicated. I super appreciate Mackenzie and will use her again and again.”
“Suzanne was so kind, communicative, and understanding. She dealt with the one accident my cat had wonderfully, and sent me pics and updates of my two kitties daily. Made me feel so at ease, leaving my cats in her hands. Can’t wait to book again!!”
About: I truly understand that pets are family. When you trust me with your dog, you're not just hiring a sitter, you're choosing someone who cares deeply about their comfort, safety, and happiness. Every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I take the time to get to know your pup, whether that means being patient with a shy rescue, playful with an energetic puppy, or gentle with a senior who moves at their own pace. I have experience with: • Training and socializing young puppies 🐶 • Providing slow, careful care for senior dogs 💕 • Supporting anxious pets who need extra reassurance and calm 🌿 I offer consistent communication, photo updates, and a calm, nurturing presence your pet can feel safe with. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home, even when you're away. I don’t just walk dogs - I build trust, one paw at a time. 🐾 I work from home three days a week (8–5), which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or just having a calming presence nearby, I’m able to stay connected to your pet’s needs and not just check in and leave. On the days I’m home, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love-not just the basics. For pets who thrive on routine, this consistent presence can be especially comforting. Even outside my work-from-home days, I’m available for evening, early morning, or weekend care depending on your pet’s needs. I truly enjoy making pet care part of my daily rhythm - it brings a balance of joy, companionship, and purpose to my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In your home, I work to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I know how important consistency is, especially for anxious or sensitive pets, so I approach their care with patience, gentleness, and clear communication. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home (if applicable), I’ve created a pet-friendly, low-stress space that’s clean, secure, and filled with cozy spots for rest and play. I always do slow introductions if other pets are present, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods. Whether it's their home or mine, I aim to make every pet feel safe, seen, and loved- like they never skipped a beat while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Whitney — a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two! I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, from helping neighbors with their dogs to fostering kittens and keeping friends’ furry family members happy while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each pets personality. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and lots of updates for peace of mind. I am responsible, on time, and work hard! After a full day at work, spending time with animals is honestly my favorite way to unwind. My evenings are calm and flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on walks, playtime, and quality care. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or giving your pet some extra love after dinner, I always make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I treat every visit like a chance to relax and connect — it’s not just part of my routine, it’s the best part of my day. Your pets will never feel like an afterthought; they’re the highlight of my evenings! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their favorite humans are away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so I can make them feel completely comfortable. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll match their pace and make sure they get the perfect mix of attention, activity, and rest.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bynum
“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
“I had such a great experience with Evie and Fritz! My dog Miso was so happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates and photos I got throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of my family's pets for 26 years. I just recently lost my dog and am looking to meet new furry friends and help families in need of pet-setting. I have taken care of many neighbors, friends and families' pets, but would love to spend much more time getting to know your beloved pets. I just retired as a Physical Education teacher and coach after 44 years of service to young people, therefore I am ready to dog walk, pet sit and board your furry family pets. I am home every day and have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! I love to spend time outdoors, so your pet would be extremely happy when the weather is nice. I live in a two story home in a very pet friendly neighborhood. The streets are not busy, making dog-walking very safe and easy. I have almost two acres of land...perfect for running around and playing! I look forward to being with your furry friends full time! I retired as a teacher/coach for 44 years and my husband works from home M-F. We are available to give your pups plenty of attention. I treat every clients pet as if they are my own. I give plenty of belly rubs, let them sit with me on furniture and I have a guest suite with a lower bed that I sleep with pets if they wish. They have run of my home. If a parent wants them to sleep in a bed or crate, I honor that as well. We love having pets since we lost our family pet.
“Katie was so great! Super easy to work with, excellent communication. I have long shifts at work needing to drop by dog off at 7am to 6pm for doggy day care and he seems so happy and safe with Katie and her family. Really good decision and so glad she is taking care of my pup!”
“Adrian is amazing! My pup loves going there; it’s very evident that Adrian takes great care of her and I feel relieved during the work day knowing that she is in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone who wasn't us, and we were very nervous. Heather did a great job helping our puppy feel comfortable and helping me feel comfortable by sending me videos. Highly recommend Heather.”
“Jessica took such great care of our Addie girl! We were needing care while we were out of town and Addie loved it. She had excellent communication and organization. She sent pictures regularly.”
“We are very grateful to Tetyana for taking care of our Bella. Kind and reliable people, always in touch, keep us informed of how our dog is feeling. Bella already considers Tetiana's house to be another family place for her.”
About: Dogs are the center of my universe. I've spent the past 4 years as a local and state lobbyist to pass humane legislation that protects both dogs and cats. It's not just a job, it's my life's purpose. I recently lost both of my dogs, and I miss them every single day. Spending time with dogs isn't just something I enjoy, it's something I need. I don't have any pets right now and I would love to have a furry friend to keep me company. I love to get down on their level for kisses, let them sniff the grass, and just give them the freedom to just be a dog. I'd be honored to give your dog the same love and care I gave mine, and to get a little of that joy back in return. I am currently retired and can be available any day of the week after 10:00 a.m.. I am also available as late as 9:00 p.m.. I currently do not have any pets which makes my apartment ideal for dogs who need one-on-one attention. My lease does not allow overnight visits but daytime visits are perfectly okay.
About: Growing up with parents that loved to pick up strays my love for animals came naturally. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats from all different shapes and sizes. My favorite lesson in life is that a man’s best friend is their pet. I want to help pet parents take the best care of their best friend while they are away! I am currently in college taking evening classes so i have my whole morning off to spend with your furry friends!! I enjoy going on nature walks and nothing would make me happier then to have your furry friend accompanying me I enjoy taking dogs to doggy parks or nature walks. Every dog is different so not all walks look the same. I like to encourage exercise and play time in my time with them as well as some downtime and bonding.
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”
“Qian is great! She showed lots of love and care to my dog, sending many text updates, photos and videos. Toys, multiple trips to the dog park, and cuddle time on the sofa. My dog truly had an amazing time. I highly recommend Qian and will be surely be rebooking.”
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!

“Annalia is wonderful! We are so happy we found her! She is attentive to detail and absolutely phenomenal with our large great Pyrenees mix. We plan to continue to book her for all future walks.”
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”
“Tina took wonderful care of our dog, Dante. She is incredibly attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of us with thoughtful ideas and suggestions to make sure he was happy and comfortable. After returning from a two-week trip, we noticed something that had never happened before—Dante, who is normally a very anxious dog, was calm, relaxed, and emotionally settled. That alone speaks volumes about the love, patience, and care Tina gave him. Being away from home for such a long time was much easier because we knew Dante was in the best hands. Thank you, Tina, for treating him with so much love, kindness, and responsibility. We are truly grateful and would trust you with Dante again without hesitation.”
“Uli has been walking Marshall since he was just a little guy! He loves her so much and I always know he’s in good hands. Uli is super dependable and a great communicator. She’s patient with me when I’m unorganized and stretched thin. She’s the best!”
“Rylie is amazing! She asked lots of questions to make sure my dog would have a great time with her. He’s a big dog (German Shepherd), and she completely understands the behavior and energy level of big, high-energy dogs!”
“Lynn is so unbelievably helpful. When I have been unable to get into my account to book her, she has done it for me. She is an awesome sitter so I am grateful to have her with my Roxy. She looks out for everything in caring for my sweet girl.”
About: I have been pet sitting dogs (of all sizes and with various abilities and health concerns) and cats since I was 9. I have two cats of my own in Briar Chapel, so I cannot take animals into my own house. However, I am in close proximity to all Briar Chapel homes, making it easy for me to drop by and feed or walk your animals. I am willing to stay overnight in your home if that is what you would prefer. Walking is my favorite exercise, and I'm happy to take your dogs for long walks, regardless of the weather. I have received medical and behavioral training (as a clinical psychology student), which could make me a good fit for animals with health or behavioral concerns. I also am happy to take care of any other animals you may have, as I have experience with frogs, turtles, snakes, and fish. I also have a big car, so I can take animals to the vet or to other places around town if you need it. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I can come take care of your pets multiple times a day on weekdays and weekends. I am happy to visit your home at whatever times your preferred feeding and walking schedule requires. Because I live in Briar Chapel, I am in close proximity to all Briar Chapel homes, making it easy for me to drop by and feed or walk your animals.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve worked with everything from energetic large-breed dogs to shy or quirky cats with behavioral challenges. I approach every pet with patience, compassion, and a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs playtime, a calming presence, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to help them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m available to be your reliable, on-call pet sitter whenever your pet needs care or company. I can be flexible to your schedule and do my best to keep a routine with clients.

About: Isabella is an independent contractor for the local "Walk & Wag" pet services company, in addition to having her own freelance clientele with Rover. Background check & driving record approved! P.S.: Her pet pictures tend to be with one hand holding the phone and the other a leash (or 3!). While she's not always able to fit in the frame, she's smiling behind the camera. ___________ Isabella has lived in the RDU area for most of her life and has been caring for neighbors’ pets since she was old enough to fill a water bowl and walk her own West Highland White Terrier, Bonnie. Isabella regularly volunteers with Orange County Animal Services’ Dog Day Out Program and previously fostered a wide variety of dog breeds while living in Washington, DC. She finds great joy in caring for Chapel Hill’s beloved pets and being part of the local community. In her free time, Isabella enjoys hiking, backpacking, browsing local bookstores, and spending time with friends. She also speaks fluent French and conversational Russian and Spanish. Isabella earned a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs from American University and a Master’s degree in International Security from the Paris Institute of Political Studies. Now back in Chapel Hill, she's working remotely & thrilled to be surrounded by trees – and animals – once again. Her schedule is flexible and largely adaptable to her furry clients' needs, including ones that pop up last-minute (so never be shy to ask!). In clients' homes, Isabella treats both the pet and their safe space with as much respect as she'd hope for herself. Ensuring lockboxes are properly secured, fences closed, and individual pet needs are met is essential. It's equally essential for pet owners to know that the extra step is being taken to keep your pet safe and cared for, so regular communication and photos are standard on every service.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and pet sat for family and friends dogs through middle school and high school. During college and a little after I fostered puppies and dogs who needed special attention. I have a two year old miniature dachshund. I work four on call shifts a week. The days I work change on a week to week basis so feel free to message me to see if i’m available that day/time. I give each dog the care and attention they need and deserve. I take my dogs on walks and my little dog loves to play fetch and go swimming. I have experience giving dogs medication from my time fostering puppies in college.
About: Experienced caregiver, looking to help with drop ins and walks. Can also do housesitting if overnights are not required. I would love to stop in, care for, feed, or walk your pet. I’m a responsible dog, cat and human mom and will treat yours as mine. I can offer late afternoon, evening and weekend visits due to my current work schedule. I have time to stop by and love your pet. Please get in touch to discuss your situation. I will love yours as mine. I love to spend time with, walk and cuddle pets. I am not taking animals in my home at this time.
About: I love dogs! I've had medium to large breed dogs throughout my life and would like to start walking dogs as a side gig. Walking dogs within neighborhoods or trails would be my specialty. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take excellent care of your pet. I am very competent and will take excellent care of your furry friend. I will communicate with you as you would like- photos, just a touch base text whatever you prefer! I currently have plenty of time during the day to walk and play with pups! Morning, lunch breaks or afternoons are best options for me. Leashed walks in neighborhoods or trails. Can walk multiple dogs if needed at the same time. Short car rides to dog parks would be possible.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I am currently raising an energetic, lab puppy that keeps me on my toes - with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of training. Through her, I’ve gained firstshand experience with the patience, consistency, and energy that dogs need to thrive. Before welcoming my lab, I cared for my previous large-breed dog through every stage of her life, from adulthood into her senior years. She lived to be 14 years old, giving me experience with the slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care that older dogs often need. Whether your dog loves long adventures, a leisurely neighborhood walk, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I'm happy to tailor each visit to their individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities. I'll always treat your home and your pet with respect, follow your care instructions closely, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every dog is different. My goal is to make each walk or visit a positive, stress-free experience—for both you and your pup. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am currently home during the day and available 24/7 to help care for your pup! I am happy to go on long walks outside or play with toys inside. I currently live in a condo with my 4 month old lab puppy, so I am experienced navigating potty breaks in apartment settings and finding the best trails outside!

“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Emily and William are amazing! They are so welcoming and take great care of our dog. Kodi loves staying with them and his best friend Duncan. Highly recommend!”
“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”
“Vanessa is the absolute BEST! We had to short notice board our dogs after a very hectic month of moving around. Both of our dogs are tired and confused from all of the moving and Vanessa did such an incredible job making them feel loved and like they were at home. Great communication, daily photos and so much love for our sweet pups. We will definitely be using Vanessa and her wonderful family again.”
“Molly was fantastic! She took great care of our needy rescue dog, was communicative, and followed our many requests. Molly has a peaceful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“I boarded my dog Louie with Gregg for 12 days, and both myself and Louie could not have been happier with the experience. Louie had a great time, and Gregg was a fantastic communicator and sent pictures and updates every day. I highly recommend Gregg for daycare or boarding!”
“I hope I can board my dog there again and again. Julie was friendly, on top of everything, and my dog looked sooo happy in every one of the numerous photos Julie sent me. She gave me a daily update and answered everyone of my questions instantaneously. I had flight issues on my vacation return and she was so flexible and kind about it all. Overall rating TEN out of five!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“Angela (and her own little dog and young son) provided a wonderful week for my old, anxious little dog. She kept me posted with her photos and comments - Sandy clearly felt at home and very secure. I will definitely be booking with her whenever we need boarding or day care for Sandy!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Remi was very comfortable at Megan”s house. She met Megan’s dogs at the meet and greet and got along great with all of them. Megan was great with communicating and you can tell that she has a real love for and understanding of animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to leave Remi. It was totally worth the 30 min drive for drop off and pick up!!”
“This was our first time with Denise -- our dog was very comfortable with both her and Grover (her dog). We appreciated her prompt communications. We will be using her again!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
