Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gulf

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gulf
“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”

“Alex and his family were so kind to watch our hound dog Olive. They sent regular updates and took care of her like she was a part of the family. I felt comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of when going out of town!”

“Taylor has done an excellent job on sitting our Kiki. She kept us updated with Kiki's daily activities with photos. Although there is a huge size difference between Kiki (11 lbs) and Taylor's dog, Sadie, a regular size golden retriever, they two get along and play together very well. From the shared pictures we can tell Kiki felt comfy and looked happy whether she was inside of Taylor's house or outside at the yard, which gave us peace of mind so we can truly enjoy our trip. We are thankful to Taylor's effort and will ask Taylor for help again for our future trips.”

“Victor was amazing with our dog, Summer! Not only did he stand daily photos of her looking happy, but he was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up. Even when we hit stranded out of the country fur two extra days, Victor was incredibly accommodating and we never had ti worry about our Summer. His home is clean and spacious, with a perfect fenced outdoor area, and he obviously loves pets. I would 100% book with Victor again and highly recommend him without hesitation.”


“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”


“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”

“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”


“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Jess is phenomenal! Excellent and quick communication for a last minute booking. She took such great care of my senior dog and even sent me pictures during the stay. Bonnie wasn’t sure she wanted to leave 😆😅 Thank you again, Jess!”

“Ms. Crystal is ALWAYS wonderful. Cotton nearly jumped out of the car when we pulled up so I know she loves on my babe!! I will always book with her for my out of town trips. I trust her.”

“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 !!”

“Ashley’s family made Minnow feel right at home! She provides an excellent space for care, play, and rest - our pup was hesitant to leave! Ashley was also incredibly flexible with a last-minute injury changing our dog’s routine and provided everything she needed to stay comfortable.”

“Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!”

“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”

“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”

“My dog had a wonderful stay with Stephanie and her family for 3 weeks. She came home very happy and relaxed and was well taken care of. Stephanie sent lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”

“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!”

“Eveline followed our instructions to the letter. We wanted the necessities for our cats. They do not interact with anyone but us and she was understanding of the situation. The cats were happy, we were happy.”


“Cassie was taking care of my 5-month old kitten when I was away for the weekend. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated as well as descriptions how he is doing, playing and eating. He was happy and well cared for. Will be booking again in the future!”


“Katie was reliable, caring, and great with my cats! She kept me updated with photos and I came home to happy, well cared for animals. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”


“Elissa stayed in our home for a week to look after our three kitty girls while we were out of town for our wedding. She did an amazing job keeping watch over our fur babies, she sent consistent updates including photos. Communication was always clear and quick. We could tell our kitties were happy, well fed and played with and relaxed when we got home. Elissa also took great care of our home, it was just as clean and tidy as we left it! We couldn't be any happier with the service Elissa provided and will be reaching out to book her in the future when we travel. We would recommend Elissa to all of our family and friends. Thank you, Elissa!!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was 12, from a chihuahua mix to a labrador mix. I've had my current dog, a shi-tzu poodle mix, for 8 years now! I also have 2 cats as well. I have fostered kittens and have found furever homes with trusted friends and neighbors. I've cared for my neighbors' and friends' dogs when they vacation. They have entrusted me with their dogs and cats to walk, bathe, and feed them. I love animals and deeply care and respect every little critter that comes my way. Aftering graduating App State this past May, I stay in Boone and sometimes travel back home. I currently have time more time on my hands than usual. I welcome any pet and will treat them like my own. I live in an apartment and love going to the Greenway trail so I'll be sure to exercise your pet and am willing to care for them in the comfort of their own home.

“Jesse was great and took the best care of our cats. She of course fed them and cleaned the litter boxes but she also made sure to sit, play, and chat to the kitties as well. They barely missed me when I got home so I know they had great company. Thank you Jesse!”


“Ali is simply a lovely human. My dogs took to him immediately. Gus was especially excited to meet his new friend and Ali responded with nothing but patience and understanding. Ali has an energy that is simultaneously enthusiastic and calming. We’re excited to have him back :)”


About: My experience includes: - Administering medications - Specialized supplement routines (especially for CKD) - Special diet preparation and feeding - Fluid therapy - Monitoring and early issue recognition - Gentle, patient handling of seniors and special-needs kitties I also have extensive knowledge of kidney-supportive supplements and care strategies. I live on a small farm that keeps my mornings busy, so I’m currently available for afternoon and evening visits with your beloved kitty. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, loving care—just the way I did for my own girl.

“Amber was wonderful! My timid cats got used to her and seemed so happy and relaxed in the photos and videos she sent me. I feel that Amber gave them a great deal of care and attention. I highly recommend her and would book her again!”


About: my name is Christina, I am a certified vet assistant with 8 years caring for furry babies.My services include : administering both oral and SQ medications,SQ IV fluid replacement,glucose testing,and caring for a special needs pet.m I am certified in pet CPR and first aide.
About: I take pride in taking care of your pups. Experience in dealing with all types and any disabilities. My service includes dog walking, overnight stays. Feed 1-3 times day. Potty breaks as many as needed. Taking them to dog parks and walks. Have fun with snuggles and treats. Enjoy their stay as much as possible! Will keep them clean and their areas clean at my house.

“Kalah did a stellar job with Piper so can be dog aggressive at times. This was our first time with anyone helping us out. She made it such a breeze. Even helped with her special diet. The pictures were so reassuring. Will be calling on her again!!”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jordan. She means it when she says she will care for your pets like they are her own, and she proved that to us in a way I won't forget. Jordan had checked in on our dog a couple of times the first day and again the following morning. On her last scheduled visit, she walked into the house to find that he had destroyed the kennel we were keeping him in and completely shredded a tarp. Instead of simply completing her check-in and leaving, Jordan immediately became concerned that he may have swallowed some of the tarp and could potentially have a blockage. I was still hours away from home, and Jordan insisted on staying with him until I could get back because she didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone. After talking it through, we decided the safest thing was to have her take him to a pet urgent care rather than wait for me to get home. Jordan did not hesitate for even a second. She took him to the vet, stayed with him, kept me updated, and made sure he was safe until I could get there. What was supposed to be a simple check-in turned into an incredibly stressful situation, and Jordan went so far above and beyond anything I could have expected from her. When someone is caring for your pet, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and Jordan treated our dog exactly that way. I will forever be grateful that she was the person looking after him that day. She truly means it when she says she cares for your pets like she does her own. I could not recommend Jordan more. ❤️🐾”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gulf
“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“Jasper was suffering from anxiety after using a dog walker and I decided Doggy daycare would be a better choice. He needed daily activity while I was at work and Katie has given that. Her children love being around dogs and play with Jasper all day. He is tired out by the time I pick him up, perfect because I am too after a long day. I rebound with him over the weekend and all is well. Now when I pickup my car keys he is at the door thinking we are going to Katies every time, hilarious. Katie is great and I will continue using her home to keep my dog safe and stimulated all day. Thanks Katie”

“Amazing with my dog ! Ended up going the route of in an house dog visitor and walker closer to my home, but Dunamis loved his days with Ernesto! I did not have to worry that Dunamis would pick up bad habits or anything concerning because he was in great and k9 certified care. He was the best!”


“I was very happy with the care Sally received from Lindsey. I was kept informed as to how Sally was doing all day. I will definitely use Lindsey the next time I need doggy daycare or when I need to board Sally. Thank you again Lindsey!!!”


“I would definitely recommend Elizabeth! She was very helpful, polite, respectful prompt with responses and just all around a pleasant person to deal with!5 stars don’t do her enough justice!”

“Haley has been wonderful with my boy Albie. He loves going there. Even after just one visit he got so excited the next time, he tried to jump out of the car before i could get the door open! She sends pictures and keeps me updated on how he is doing. So glad that we were able to find you! Looking forward to future visits!”

“Nicole was awesome! I needed doggie day care last minute,and she was available, it was such a wonderful experience! She was so flexible and my puppy loved her. He didn’t wanna leave! I will most definitely be using her again! She kept me up to date with pictures and everything I can’t thank you enough!!”
“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.”

About: I have own dogs my whole life. I have one Rottweiler and a Yorkie/Minpinch. My Rottweiler is very friendly. They both love people and other dogs. Both of my dogs are very we’ll behaved. They would love to play with your fur babies. Yes I consider my dogs family, and I would treat you dogs as family also. My husband and I live on 5 acres so your dogs will have lots of room to run and will be watched with love,and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed when you pick them up. I love animals and treat other peoples animals like they're my own. We have a fence in area. It's not attached to our home,but it is well shaded with 3 cement stalls where they can go lay down if they wanted too. I also have long training leash so i can play with them since I don't have a fence yet. I used it with my Rottweiler that passed when I lived in apartment up in Michigan. It works great cause its really long so if I needed to step on it I could to stop them. I Iam looking forward to meeting you and and taking care of your fur babies . I am open 7 days a week.Animals are my passion,snd want to do it full time. I will beable to take them out when ever needed and exercise just like i do with my own. my husband is home all day,so they wouldn't be left alone I have 5 acres we finally have s fence in area so your dog will be safe,and will beable to get plenty of exercise. I also have a long traing leash so I can play with them without putting in the fence in area. I used it for my rottweilers. It works great because it's really long so you can jump on it if they start to take off. Since we have a fence in area now,when they in it ,I will check on them periodically to make sure they are ok. I also will get in the fence wirh them to play with them. I would never leave them out in yhe heat or cold to long. Like i said i treat other animals just like they are my own .
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”

“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”

“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”

About: Well what sets me apart is as long as I remember I have loved all animals. I began a real love for cats and dogs as my parents began entrusting me with a cat and then later a dog. When I started college and living in a dorm room I didn’t have a pet, but other than that I have always had one or both. Once I got married we started our fur baby life and then eventually we even had a season of fostering big breeds. We learned that we loved fostering and have been caring for our own cats and dogs for the last 3 years the dog is inside/outside and the cat is outside only. We truly love our animals. We would love to assist you in any way! I am a stay at home mom so that means I have a lot of time to play, feed, and wash your dog. Boarding and doggy day care are the best ways for me to help you get the things you need to get done that you might not need your furry pal around for! Thanks for letting me help you! When your pet is at my home then I would play with your dog and take the pet out for regular bathroom breaks. Give food and water based on your normal schedule. The pet will also get play time outside in a gated area. We have a beautiful 17 acre farm and love to take in animals!
“I really enjoyed working with Jennifer in setting up Marvel's appointment. She was flexible with my schedule and very responsive to all of my questions! Marvel was well taken care of during her stay and enjoyed the company of Jennifer's small dog. Jenn made sure Marvel felt at home and we will make sure to be back!”
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

“Alex and his family were so kind to watch our hound dog Olive. They sent regular updates and took care of her like she was a part of the family. I felt comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of when going out of town!”

“Taylor has done an excellent job on sitting our Kiki. She kept us updated with Kiki's daily activities with photos. Although there is a huge size difference between Kiki (11 lbs) and Taylor's dog, Sadie, a regular size golden retriever, they two get along and play together very well. From the shared pictures we can tell Kiki felt comfy and looked happy whether she was inside of Taylor's house or outside at the yard, which gave us peace of mind so we can truly enjoy our trip. We are thankful to Taylor's effort and will ask Taylor for help again for our future trips.”


“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”

“Maria took care of my dog, Jack, while I visited Family out of state. She made everything easy, and I could not be happier. She took great care of Jack, sending updates, and pictures. Jack looked so happy, as she definitely made him very comfortable! Just an absolutely great experience for him!”

“We have used Ernesto twice. Once for a weekend and once overnight. Both times he, and his kids, were a pleasure to work with. Felt good leaving our puppy with them.”


“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”

“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”


“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Jess is phenomenal! Excellent and quick communication for a last minute booking. She took such great care of my senior dog and even sent me pictures during the stay. Bonnie wasn’t sure she wanted to leave 😆😅 Thank you again, Jess!”

“Alison and family were just wonderful to our dog Buddy. She sent pictures every day and he looked very happy and well taken care of. Would definitely highly recommend this sitter, she is great.”

“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”

“Ashley’s family made Minnow feel right at home! She provides an excellent space for care, play, and rest - our pup was hesitant to leave! Ashley was also incredibly flexible with a last-minute injury changing our dog’s routine and provided everything she needed to stay comfortable.”

“Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!”

“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”

“Annie took very good care of my girl. She sent daily pictures and updates which made me feel assured my dog was receiving wonderful care in my absence. Thank you!”

“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”

“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!”
