“Ludris was a wonderful sitter for my large breed dog, Jill. She kept me updated with pictures and provided clear communication throughout my dog's stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
“If your thinking of booking with her to watch any of your fur babies think no further she is the way to go!!!!! I came on rover needing a dog sitter very last minute same day I planed on going out of town and it was honestly the best choice I could’ve made very quick replies and very frequent updates and pictures of how good your fur babies are doing THANK U AGAIN MARIA!!!”
“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“We had a great experience! They were very kind, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Eevee. She looked happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her stay. We'd definitely book with them again!”
“My pup had a great time with Ercilia while I was traveling! Ercilia sent pictures and updates throughout the week. I could tell that my dog was comfortable and happy in her home. Ercilia is kind, caring, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”
“We left our 3 yr old Bulldog with Kaitlin, Jeff & Kids for a week and had an amazing experience. Our pup absolutely loved being at their house. She was treated like she was their own dog!! She loved playing with all the kids and their pups. Communication from Kaitlin & Jeff was fabulous! We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“Caitlin and her family were great to meet and I am incredibly thankful to have found a home where our dog is happy and well cared for. She kept us updated with lots of pictures which made being away easier. Thank you so much!!”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Connie cared for our mixed poodle, Zoë, again while we were on vacation. We were so at ease knowing Zoë was in good hands. We highly recommend Connie for boarding your pet. Thanks Connie!”
“Kelley was a great babysitter for Darcy. She kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend! Darcy who is a year and a half had the best time with her boys. I would definitely recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a sitter and I will be using her again!”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”

“We previously used Ericka for our senior cat (who passed a few months ago). She was my first choice for a rowdy group of kittens I’m fostering! You can tell that along with the litter/food/water needs being met, they had an absolute blast playing with her and she got awesome photos. Thank you again Ericka!!!”
“Alexis did a great job of caring for our kitties, Nala and Adelaide, while we were away for a week. Although Alexis had never been to our home, she easily followed the provided directions to ensure that our girls had clean litter and fresh water, and that our home was secure. She was very professional in communications as well. We will look forward to hiring her for future trips.”
“Sandy took great care of my kittens while I was gone. She was on time everyday. The boys had a lot of fun playing with her during the visits. Sandy usually takes care of dogs, but I can also recommend her for cats.”
“Nikki did AMAZING!!! Took WONDERFUL care of my 2 kitties and guinea pig. She played with my kitties and made them VERY happy!!! Will be rebooking anytime I need a pet sitter!!”

About: I have grown up with all different kinds of pets. Along with watching friends pets, I have worked for companies such as United Paws and Wag. I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.

“Alivia is an awesome cat sitter. She is great with my very extroverted cat as well as my two rather introverted ones. Alivia is reliable, communicates well and is awesome all around.”
“Margaret did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was awesome at communicating and keeping us informed of what was going on and sent very cute pictures of him while we were away.”
“I wouldn’t definitely use Emily again. She is thorough, caring, and willing to work with us on what our cats needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything, even the littlest details are taken care of.”
About: While I am a proud dog parent, I love cats! Growing up in a multi-pet world, I know that cats dictate their own rules. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants to play or a shy hider who just needs their boundaries respected, I adapt completely to their personality. I make sure your cat receives the exact routine they thrive on by providing fresh food, water refills, and a meticulously scooped litter box during every visit. My experience managing a diverse three-dog pack has taught me to highly respect individual pet boundaries, so I naturally adapt to your cat's unique mood. I will always keep you connected to your feline friend with detailed text updates and photos from every single check-in!
About: I've taken care of a family friend's cats for 5, going on 6 years! They went from 1 cat to 4, it's been so exciting working with each one and watching them gain trust in me. I have a gentle hand and will be there to support your cat in your absence :)
“Grace was great!! She came by as scheduled and communicated with us daily with pictures and messages! I think by the end of the week she had a couple of new kitty BFFs! We will definitely use her again!!”
“Great friend to our dog! Brittany gives good reports of her visits and makes sure your pet is cared for and attended to properly. Our dog is always happy to have her checkin on him.”
About: I have always grown up around cats and have taken care of them for family and friends when they have been on vacations. I am familiar with indoor or out door pets, cleaning of the litter boxes, and how much food to feed them. I can also administer medication if needed.

About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at home.
About: I have loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along. I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play. I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.
About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.
“First and best experience with a pet sitter! I’ll always have her watch my pups, she treats them like her own family! My doggies are well cared for and I feel mentally at ease.”
“They were amazing! I was nervous to leave my pups but they were so tuckered out when they got home and I know they took great care of them while staying there! Will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.

I always treat every animal like they are my own no matter who’s pet is, my last 2 jobs were a dog bather and I have loved every second of it and I can’t wait to work with animals again. I am currently able for full time, I am availability at all times and so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always here when needed. I have a safe animal environment inside my home to where your animal is safe throughout my whole place, I have a back yard where I can take them to the bathroom when needed, I also always have a food and a water bowl out so if your pet is hungry or thirsty they will have full access to their needs. I have toys for both cats and dogs and they are kept clean after every dog use and I have a fully vaccinated dog and he is very sweet and loves all animals so if wanted my dog can keep your dog or cat accompanied.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just my job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I have 8 years of pet care experience working with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m fully pet care insured, giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away.

They will always be exhausted and loved I would prefer to do an overnight in your home as to not stress your pets out too much! They will be very cared for
About: I have always had a big heart for animals. I have had many of my own over the years! I have cared for my own animals as well as for family, friends and neighbors. I currently have a senior dog of my own and I do all that I can to make her comfortable, just as I would for anyone else’s pet! I currently work a full-time job from home but I would be available to do possible drop in or dog walks first thing in the morning, on my lunch if it is close enough to my home and evening times as well. I work a part-time job as well on some Saturdays but I would still be available for weekend services as well. Possibly would be interested in doing drop ins here at my home. I have two small dogs of my own one which is a senior now and another that will be one in August. I do not have a fenced in yard but have plenty of well maintained yard space in the back of my home for them to be let out for potty and play time. I do currently crate my youngest dog only when needed and I could do the same for someone else’s. My daughter ask that I dog sit her full size golden doodle on a weekly basis and they all get along very well with other dogs.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
About: I’ve had many animal “businesses” since I was little. A doggy care job is perfect for me! I have 3 dogs if my own, ranging from a chihuahua, to a Great Dane! I’ve taken care of my own as well as trusted with my friends and family’s pets. Hi! I am a full time student now, and I do have a job. I keep this open bc I love to help and love animals! I feed them and water them, as well as bathe all of them. And occasionally take them on walks for bit. I’m down for anything!

We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
“This was Alexis’ first time with my dog Otis and she was a hit. She communicated appropriately and arrived at the time she promised. She provided multiple pictures of the activities and locked my house back up like I asked her to. All around positive experience!”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My dog is now a senior but we adopted her as a puppy. Due to my dogs age and health complications that come with it, I've gained experience with senior care. This includes light stretches, red light therapy, medication, etc. Watching her grow up gave me the incentive to support other pet parents by making sure their pets are taken care of while they're away. I've watched a family friend's 4 cats for the past 4 years, as well as 2 others. I enjoy what I do, and I'd love to extend my services to you! I'm currently working part-time, so outside of work, your pet will be my number one priority! I can stop by in the morning and afternoon for at least 1 hour each, spend quality time with them, clean up if necessary, and make sure they're comfortable for the evening before heading out. When I arrive, I'll greet your pet at the door or, if applicable, at their kennel. I'll look around and do any easy clean up, let them outside to potty or clean up litter boxes, make sure food and water are good, and then spend some quality time with your baby. I like to be active, so I'll take him/her on walks, play in the yard, or just chill about if they aren't keen on the sweat. Either way, I'll engage and make sure they're ok!

“We didn’t get to meet Amanda as we had to make an emergency trip out of town so hoping for the best. Amanda exceeded our expectations! She was very responsive and friendly. Detail oriented as she let us know what all she did and was flexible to our new home and coordinating how to get into our home. * she even brought in my Amazon order from the porch! Amanda sent pics of olive and walked her much longer than we do (she is 13). I’m sure this helped with some of Olives anxiety of us being away! We will definitely request Amanda again. My daughter also was so happy with her and her communication.”
About: I previously worked as an animal care technician at a nonprofit animal shelter, I also own a 4 year old Great Pyrenees as well as a 2 year old mini Aussie. I grew up with farm animals and household pets so I am very use to the nitty gritty that comes with caring for our loved ones. I am a disabled army veteran that’s not currently working so I have all the time in the world for your beloved pets, I am here for you! In my home my dogs get taken out twice a day fed once in the evening and are out roaming all day. But I am flexible to your pets schedule/needs!
About: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.

“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
“If your thinking of booking with her to watch any of your fur babies think no further she is the way to go!!!!! I came on rover needing a dog sitter very last minute same day I planed on going out of town and it was honestly the best choice I could’ve made very quick replies and very frequent updates and pictures of how good your fur babies are doing THANK U AGAIN MARIA!!!”
“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“We had a great experience! They were very kind, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Eevee. She looked happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her stay. We'd definitely book with them again!”
“Rena P provided exceptional care for my dog. She is incredibly caring, energetic, and professional. We received consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone you trust implicitly with your pet, but Rena P is definitely that person!"”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Connie cared for our mixed poodle, Zoë, again while we were on vacation. We were so at ease knowing Zoë was in good hands. We highly recommend Connie for boarding your pet. Thanks Connie!”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Barley had a great time at Emily’s! He was treated like a little king- never left alone as requested, slept in bed with Emily’s daughter, and got to run around with her dogs and other animals. Will be booking again when I need a sitter!”
“My Harley had a great time I was very pleased with the care and the many updates that were sent without having to ask. When Harley first arrived he had an accident I’m thinking he was nervous out the car ride she understood didn’t make an issue out of it and we went on with the appointment. Harley didn’t want to leave 🤣😊 the home was clean and cool I will certainly be rebooking.”
About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.
“Amber is the greatest. I will never have any problem leaving my puppy with her. Matter of fact I think she has a better time over there than she does with me at the house.”
“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
