“"We had such a wonderful experience with Robert and his family. From the moment Brinkley arrived, they made him feel comfortable and loved. Robert sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, letting us know how Brinkley was eating, sleeping, and spending his day — which meant the world to us. What stood out most was the genuine care and extra one‑on‑one time Robert gave him. Brinkley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Robert with Brinkley again.””
“Kate and her family are the best! It was my second time dropping my dog off with her, and she takes such good care her! Marley is older and I often worry about her, but I feel at ease when she’s at Kate’s. Her kids are great with Marley, too!”
About: I provide a calm, attentive environment for dogs and cats in my pet-friendly apartment while working from home. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medications and monitoring health needs. I'm comfortable with a variety of sizes and personalities. For active pets, I live close to the beach and enjoy taking dogs on walks to explore and get exercise. I also have a balcony where I can set up a grass patch for dogs that need frequent potty breaks throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I work from home full-time, so my flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony in a secure, pet-friendly community. For dogs who need more frequent bathroom breaks, I can provide access to a grass patch on my balcony in addition to regular outdoor walks. My community offers plenty of convenient potty areas as well as a fenced dog park where dogs can safely play and socialize off-leash. I prioritize safety at all times and closely follow each pet owner's instructions to ensure their pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for during their stay.
“This is my third time having Jerry watch my 2 girls! He is my go-to when I am out of town because he is responsible, communicative, and most importantly treats my girls like his own. They always come back happy and tired!”
“Took care of Lupe on a 14 day trip. Lupe is a little older and a wheaten terrier. Sometimes with an older dog and a little terrier in her, she could be a little quirky. But Taylor and his family accommodated Lupe very nicely and I am very grateful to have had their service and allowed their home for Lupe to stay as I had to travel for work.”
“We had a great experience with Lauren caring for our small dog. Very communicative, and our dog was the same at pickup as dropoff and our dog was exhausted which is usually a good sign that she enjoyed her stay.”
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“Brinkley had an amazing time with Angela, never a dull moment always on the move. There were plenty of neighborhood walks, park visits, and even a fun beach trip. He loved hanging out with “Bear,” his new pup buddy, and the two played endlessly together. Angela kept us relaxed with daily updates, fun photos, and thoughtful touches that made Brinkley’s stay both exciting and restful. Thanks to Angela’s warm home, positive energy, and welcoming family, Brinkley missed them all last night, making our choice for his next boarding stay an easy one.”
“Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”
“We have had Kim as our trusted dog sitter for a couple years now and she always does an amazing job of taking care of our chocolate lab Pebbles! Our pup always has such a great time at her home while we are away. She’s always so excited to see Kim and her kiddos which puts us at ease for when we go on vacation. We really appreciate the daily updates and photos Kim sends so we are never left wondering how our pup is doing. Highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”
“Judging from our dog's demeanor before and after her stay (and the photos), Dottie felt very comfortable staying with Hunter. -- like staying with a known relative. I would highly recommend Hunter to watch anyone's pet. - Michael”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! My old boy has some anxiety issues and Haley provided a comfortable and calm environment for him. He’s never stayed at someone else’s house before so I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. I highly recommend booking a stay with Haley!”
“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”
“Sue-Ling was amazing with my pup. It was his first time ever being boarded away from me and she kept me updated on him and how he was doing. She was very attentive. I will be booking with her again!”
“Valerie helped us out with a last minute sit on a holiday! She was an excellent communicator and wonderful host for my two dogs. She was flexible with drop off times and really helpful when we changed our plans at the last minute. Her home is in a quiet neighborhood with a really large fenced in backyard! Definitely recommend.”
“Kimberly and her family took amazing care of my little old pup. Gave him love and snuggles sent updated photos to us the whole time we were away. What an incredible experience. We will absolutely be using Kimberly as our sitter again!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job with our pup, Fynn. He’s is a quirky guy and Stephanie managed his quirks wonderfully. I could tell when I picked Fynn up that he loves Stephanie and her fiancé, Jared. We already have her lined up for Fynn’s next stay!”

“Sarah was an exceptional choice for us! I was quite nervous as we just moved and my cat was recovering from all of that. I suddenly needed to leave town and Sarah came over and spent a generous amount of time meeting me and Charlotte. While we were away, she did everything I requested of her, and some extra that I really appreciate. Charlotte warmed up to her quickly (she's a picky cat with people!) and they became fast friends. It set me at such ease knowing Sarah was going to do all I asked and my sweet kitty was in capable and responsible hands. I'd recommend her for any picky cats and their picky owners. :) She went above and beyond to make Charlotte happy, safe, and entertained! She'd get 10 stars if I could!”
“McKenna dis a great job caring for my 3 cats while we were away. She visited twice each day and provided medication to one of my cats. They were very relaxed and happy when we got home”
“Jo has cared for our cat several times. She has made friends with our very timid cat, and it’s such a relief to know he’s in good hands. Jo’s feedback at the end of each visit always makes me smile and includes many details.”
About: Hello! I have grown up with more pets than people in my household, and that has served me well. I am capable of handling multiple dogs on walks (there’s nothing more comical than juggling multiple leashes) and caring for both cats and dogs. I was an assistant in therapy dog training and puppy training for four years (Teamworks in Raleigh), and this has provided me with cognitive and behavioral insight into dogs. I also have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood growing up. My philosophy with pets is that they make the owner feel better and vice versa. I promise to take care of your pets as I would my own: with love, respect, and as much exercise as they deserve. I look forward to working with you. I work full time remotely, so have flexibility to take care of your pet’s needs. My weekend availability varies but my calendar will be up to date. I will take care of your pet in your home, where they will be most comfortable. I am also available for drop-ins, or walks while you are at work, or other non-stay related activities.
“Nolan was on time and communicative throughout the whole process including scheduling, confirming how to access the house and the actual drop-in. I was notified when he arrived, he sent multiple pictures and I was notified when he was leaving. I asked Nolan to give Alfie some treats when he left to keep him calm, and all went well and I got to enjoy my day away without having to worry about Alfie at all.”
About: I have house sat cats a lot even had some experience with watching over outdoor cats around my neighborhood. I have taken care of a lot of neighbors cats and family’s cats, I just love being around them and enjoy learning their quirks!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been actively involved in their care back home. While in college, I’ve also helped care for pets for friends and others, including walking, feeding, and pet sitting. I’m comfortable with all types of pets and always focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for!! As a college student home for the summer, I have almost completely open availability to dedicate to pet care each day. I'll be more than happy to dedicate my days to waking, feeding, and keeping your pet company, as well as anything in-between thats required. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keeping that familiarity in their own home. The home will stay up to par while doing all my pet care with remembering to keep you updated as much as you need.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was about 5 or 6 ! To neighborhood cats to friend cats . I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and care I give each cat as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and what makes them comfortable, since cats can be very particular about their environment and people. I’m patient with shy cats, playful with energetic ones, and always make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their cat is being well cared for. My goal is to make every cat feel like they’re still in their normal routine and getting the same love and attention they would from their owner
“Bridgette has been very reliable and has been flexible when I needed to change a booking last minute. My dog Roscoe can be very fearful at times and he liked her immediately!”
“Shyloh is so great! I would definitely have her watch my fur babies again, I had no worries at all leaving them with her. She was prompt and made sure they were well cared for! She even made sure their dishes were cleaned for when we got home.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Including neighbors, family, and family friends for long periods of time. Making sure to give them proper attention; bathing, feeding, and exercise. I grew up with many animals on my mother’s farm, so I have lots of experience taking care of pet friends! I’m currently an online student for AppState and work 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am available to watch any pet friends before and after work, for overnight stays, and weekends anytime! I care for pets in my client’s home according to their expectations and with my upmost respect to their pets and home. Making sure to follow all directions and ensure that my client can have full confidence in my service.
“So easy to communicate with and she sent us adorable photos and video of our kitty. We are so grateful she was able to come out on Christmas morning to feed and snuggle with Tabitha. Thank you!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our cat Constantine. When Constantine was shy she helped her come out of hiding and explore her surroundings. Rebecca made sure Constantine felt safe in her home and provided her loving care while we were away.”
About: Did you know walking, caring for and loving on a pet can spark creativity? I am a writer with a lifetime of pet ownership who would be honored to take care of your fur babies (and find some inspiration in the process!). I have just returned to the corporate world (it’s a fully remote role) from a traveling sabbatical writing several passion projects. My schedule is still quite flexible and my ability to travel to you quite easy. I understand maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away is essential to minimizing their anxiety (and yours!). I have a large SUV if your dogs require transportation (like a trip to a favorite dog park or have a regularly scheduled play date or grooming appointment).

“We are camping in Wilkesboro and needed a sitter for our pups while we went to Boone for the day. Desi was quick to respond to our request (as I booked the day before) and made our first doggy day care experience very easy! She sent numerous pictures of our dogs while they were under her care. When I picked them up they were just as happy as they were when we dropped them off. Thank you so much Desi for taking care of our babies! We will be sure to reach out again when we are in town!”
“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”
“Helena was quick and thorough with communication. She went above and beyond to help Dakota feel comfortable. It is evident how much Helena loves dogs and wants them to feel at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pup with her.”
“Jessica & Kevin were fantastic! My dog came home super tired after playing with their dog all day. I Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my pup. 10 out of 10 recommended and will definitely be using again.”
“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”
About: I grew up having cats and reptiles but I've always wanted a dog to have around. I want to experience what it would be like to have a dog so I can finally own one of my own one day. I love animals I wanted to become a vet when I was younger. I have a tortoise right now which is a good pet because they can live very long. I want to eventually own a farm and raise farm animal's when I get older. I use to also own fish and have a gecko as well. My children also take to animal's very well because they are kind and gentle souls like me. I want to provide an excellent service to anyone that needs it.
“Laura was wonderful and so were her pups!! Will definitely book with her again. Great backyard that my dog loved and she handled his separation anxiety really well. Buddy loves her and her little fam!”
“Melody was so sweet! My dog Roscoe had the best time with her and her dog, so much that he couldn’t stop playing the whole time he was there! She was so considerate and thoughtful! She gave him a bath (he was all dirty from the beach) and a cute little goodie bag when we left! So helpful to have him clean on our drive home! We are from out of town but definitely will be contacting her again when we need a sitter in Wilmington and will refer my friends to her! Worth every penny! Thank you!!”
“Valerie was wonderful with my pup. She sent updates and kept me informed as to how my pup did while he was with her. Her home and yard were safe and appropriate for pet sitting. I am very thankful that we found her to care for our boy.”

About: We are home majority of the time as I work from home so your pup won’t be left alone much! All of our family lives in town so we also are right here for Holiday’s. We do prefer low to medium energy dogs as a high energy pup can be difficult with a toddler. **PLEASE NOTE** Pets must have a record of ZERO aggression with a dog and/or human. If there is any concern your pet will harm my son, we are unfortunately, not the right pet sitters for you. We are extreme dog lovers! I don’t think I’ve gone more than 2 months in my life without a dog. My son has grown up with a lab and golden retriever. He is just as in love with dogs as I am ♥️ Pets must also be up to date on flea/tick prevention. We have a townhome sized fenced in backyard. It is on the small side but enough to explore & play ball. We also take plenty of walks around the neighborhood!

I offer a fun loving and playful spirit that most dogs enjoy but I’m are also very experienced with all types of dogs/cats/animals, and have experience with elderly dogs and cats, who may have medical conditions that may need a little extra specialized attention; I offer a gentle and loving companion for your sweet pup, cat or other animals. You may see from past reviews information about our mountain house. We currently provide boarding care for this area when we visit the mountain house, a little about our farm - I own a 21 acre farm in Ferguson, NC. Centrally located between Wilkesboro and Boone. We have a huge mountainous terrain fenced with access to the house and a large gated wrap around porch. Currently our full time home is in Carolina Beach and we have the best biggest back fenced in yard, with a pet friendly deck and cozy inside space, if your dog is boarded at our home, you can expect for the dog to have contact with other dogs. I’ve owned many dogs in my life, i.e. Huskies, Newfoundland’s, Labs, Goldens, Havanese, Blue healers, Doberman pinchers, and loving mutts! I’ve sled and biked and hiked with dogs, trained dogs, and I am very comfortable around all animals. I have two daughters, (my oldest is in college) and an animal loving partner, Spencer, who also has a rover site, so if I’m not available he may be, and we are each others emergency contact in case something were ever to happen., They all love to play fetch, frisbee and agility and trick training. We have a lot of fun with our furry friends and can offer an abundant amount of love, care, space and time for your fur babies! We like to call ourselves the WildOnes and we can’t wait to hear from you and hopefully spend special time with your furry family! I’m a full time rover sitter and animal caregiver. I’m available for full time care in your home or mine, with an occasional need for errands or special events. By following your everyday guidelines, and mimicking what your daily routine is, this allows a great amount of security to you and your animal. We always are sure to leash animals when they are not in the fenced area at your home. We want to encourage good behavior by following the training protocols that your animal has had, and also encouraging your pet to learn new things if they desire to.
About: I've owned a dog since I was 7 and love dogs of all kinds. Currently have a 5 YO Lab mix who loves to sleep, go for walks and play on the beach. I can help with your pup on CB anytime. I am available anytime so feel free to reach out to schedule me to assist. Let me know what your needs are and I'm sure I can accommodate. Can leash walk your dog or let them out in your yard. Would be happy to walk them along with my dog or I can walk them solo if they are better off that way.
About: I can not resist dogs. They are so sweet! I would be happy to come to your home or have your pet come to me! My experience is mostly with large dogs but love the little ones too. I have experience watching cats, fish and turtles as well. I understand that everyone cares for their pet differently and will make sure to care for your pet the way that he/she is accustomed, following any rules you lay out and care for your pet just like you do. You can rest assured knowing I will love your pets! I enjoy long walks with dogs and can take dog to the nearby dog park. I work from home and have a totally flexible schedule. I am available everyday and in the evenings. I am self employed and my work time is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks, potty time, play time, etc as needed for the pet. I have a small fenced in yard. I live near the beach for beach walks and near the state park for some nice shaded walks. There is also a dog park near by. I try to get as much information about the pet as possible and how it is normally cared for to keep things as close to normal as possible for the pet.

“"We had such a wonderful experience with Robert and his family. From the moment Brinkley arrived, they made him feel comfortable and loved. Robert sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, letting us know how Brinkley was eating, sleeping, and spending his day — which meant the world to us. What stood out most was the genuine care and extra one‑on‑one time Robert gave him. Brinkley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Robert with Brinkley again.””
“Kate and her family are the best! It was my second time dropping my dog off with her, and she takes such good care her! Marley is older and I often worry about her, but I feel at ease when she’s at Kate’s. Her kids are great with Marley, too!”
About: I provide a calm, attentive environment for dogs and cats in my pet-friendly apartment while working from home. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medications and monitoring health needs. I'm comfortable with a variety of sizes and personalities. For active pets, I live close to the beach and enjoy taking dogs on walks to explore and get exercise. I also have a balcony where I can set up a grass patch for dogs that need frequent potty breaks throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I work from home full-time, so my flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony in a secure, pet-friendly community. For dogs who need more frequent bathroom breaks, I can provide access to a grass patch on my balcony in addition to regular outdoor walks. My community offers plenty of convenient potty areas as well as a fenced dog park where dogs can safely play and socialize off-leash. I prioritize safety at all times and closely follow each pet owner's instructions to ensure their pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for during their stay.
“We had a great experience with Lauren caring for our small dog. Very communicative, and our dog was the same at pickup as dropoff and our dog was exhausted which is usually a good sign that she enjoyed her stay.”
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“We have had Kim as our trusted dog sitter for a couple years now and she always does an amazing job of taking care of our chocolate lab Pebbles! Our pup always has such a great time at her home while we are away. She’s always so excited to see Kim and her kiddos which puts us at ease for when we go on vacation. We really appreciate the daily updates and photos Kim sends so we are never left wondering how our pup is doing. Highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”
“Judging from our dog's demeanor before and after her stay (and the photos), Dottie felt very comfortable staying with Hunter. -- like staying with a known relative. I would highly recommend Hunter to watch anyone's pet. - Michael”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! My old boy has some anxiety issues and Haley provided a comfortable and calm environment for him. He’s never stayed at someone else’s house before so I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. I highly recommend booking a stay with Haley!”
“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”
“Valerie helped us out with a last minute sit on a holiday! She was an excellent communicator and wonderful host for my two dogs. She was flexible with drop off times and really helpful when we changed our plans at the last minute. Her home is in a quiet neighborhood with a really large fenced in backyard! Definitely recommend.”
“Kimberly and her family took amazing care of my little old pup. Gave him love and snuggles sent updated photos to us the whole time we were away. What an incredible experience. We will absolutely be using Kimberly as our sitter again!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job with our pup, Fynn. He’s is a quirky guy and Stephanie managed his quirks wonderfully. I could tell when I picked Fynn up that he loves Stephanie and her fiancé, Jared. We already have her lined up for Fynn’s next stay!”
“Harley thoroughly enjoyed staying with Rebecca in her home. Rebecca took great care of Harley with companionship, walks, playing and feedings this past weekend. We would definitely ask Rebecca to watch Harley again. Thank your Rebecca - you're the best!!”
“Melody was great from the very start! She was very responsive and prompt with all of my inquiries regarding the area and flexibility with pick up and drop off times! (She even let me come pick up my dog and take her to the beach and bring her back to her house) and gave her a bath when I returned her!! Melody’s dog, Buddy and mine warmed up quickly to each other and needless to say she slept solid on our drive back to Charlotte! Armina looks forward to seeing you and Buddy again!”
“Allie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how kind, patient, and caring she is. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable with her. It’s such a relief to find someone we can completely trust with our pup. We would gladly book with Allie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Andrew and Erin, I’ve been the best pet sitters we could ask for! Our little multi-Pooh, Chloe, absolutely loves them, and has a great time with them! They are very communicative, kind and send lots of pictures and updates. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing that she’s having a great time while I’m gone.”
