“Very nice family! I was at ease as soon as I arrived. My dogs felt like they were at home. I was sent pictures daily with updates. My dogs were very well taken care of. Thomas and his wife were awesome and very welcoming. Will definitely use them again for my fur babies.”
“Anna is fantastic. She loves all animals and has the space for them to run and play. Honestly I could not ask for a better sitter for Max. It was evident that she was very active with my pup and built a bond with him. I am very please and will certainly utilize her services again in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Scott, Ellen and all their kiddos! They took amazing care of Juniper, sent daily updates and pictures, and truly treated her like their own. The kids became Juniper’s best friends and were so kind and loving. We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her! We will definitely ask them to watch her again!”
“Lauren came to the rescue for a last minute trip! This was our first time using Rover and she was such a jewel. She sent lots of sweet pictures of our Stormie! He looked happy and it was such an ease to drop him off and pick him up! I highly recommend Lauren!”
“Very excellent communication, put us at ease with allowing a meet up before bookkng. She is obviously a pro, allowing our girls to get comfortable in a new space before bringing in her dogs. She gave us daily updates with pictures while we were away. I know they enjoyed their vacation with Erin and her family!”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were great. They clearly love dogs, and they have such a great space. Our dogs live on about 45 acres of woods and fields, so Kenan’s place feels right at home to them. We were really comfortable leaving our pups with them, and our guys were very happy when we returned. Clearly they had a good time! We’ll be leaving our dog pals with them in the future!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“This was our first time using Tara as a sitter and we were very happy with the experience. Tara was professional and clearly knew how to care for and interact with Brandy who is a little timid around new people. Tara worked with Brandy to get her comfortable with a new routine, and showed resourcefulness in getting Brandy to take her meds and be comfortable eating in a new environment. Tara sent us pictures and kept us informed about Brandy's progress. Brandy clearly felt comfortable and content under Tara's care. We will definitely be having Tara care for Brandy again!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“My dog Dakota loved staying with Tami! I was in town for the weekend for a family visit and I couldn’t keep Dakota with me during the time, but I still wanted her close to me. Tami texted me with updates and pictures every day and I could tell my dog was safe and comfortable with her. She did a really good job working with my dog and did everything to make Dakota feel at home. Will definitely use her in the future if I bring Dakota back and would highly recommend!”
“Ross and Sarah were great! Aries and Bella enjoyed their time with them. They stayed in contact throughout the booking sending updates and and multiple photos and videos a day which helped me enjoy my vacation knowing they were being taken such great care of.”
“Grace is exceptional, above and beyond, caring and attentive. I am a very high-maintenance cat mama with an older girl who needs multiple pills, and Grace handled this effortlessly, sending pictures and reassuring me whenever I needed it. I’ll be booking her again when I have to travel next!!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”

“Rebecca was so great with our cats and spent lots of time playing with them, especially our kitten who we were worried about leaving for the first time. She went above and beyond, and we would 100% hire her again!”
About: I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home. My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day. I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.
“Shelby has watched our cats twice now and she always does a fantastic job! She’s communicative and kind, and is always sure to send us plenty of update pictures and notes.”
“This was the first time I asked Gretchen to care of my senior cats. They seemed very well cared for and the instructions I left were carefully followed. Everything was neat and clean and I would not only ask Gretchen to come again, I would recommend her to anyone wanting a caring pet sitter. Thank you Gretchen.”
“Amber was a godsend for allowing us to relax on vacation while knowing someone was truly caring for all three of our cats. All three require special instructions for care and she hit it out of the ballpark. Even our most skittish cat immediately took to her. When cat care is hard to find, look no further than Amber. She's fantastic!!!”
“Daysi trusted cat caretaker has helped me out immensely! I was to leave town for the weekend, and my cat needed to continue to have ear medication applied. Daysi didn’t flinch, she offered to come over for a practice run and caught on immediately. She has done this before and I was able to keep my plans. She is a natural care giver! Thank you, once again.”
“Paulina was great! She was very communicative and sent photos every day. She went above and beyond to get alternative transportation during bad weather to make sure my cat didn’t miss a meal. I felt at ease knowing someone reliable was taking care of my cat, and my cat clearly enjoyed her visits!”
“Gemma was absolutely wonderful! She is a great communicator, went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well taken care of and keep us in the loop. She sent lots of pictures and was extremely detailed.”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life ranging from 5lbs to 50+lbs. Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, and I love caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m available weekends for boarding. I am also available most weekdays after work. I will only take your dogs if I’m 100% sure I will be available and with them for their specific needs. I have a loving dog to play with your dog, or I can keep them separated if you like. I let your dog roam my house always, unless you prefer them to be crated with a crate provided. They are also welcome to sleep wherever they want whether that be with me in bed or on the floor/couch - whatever makes them comfortable.

“My Bentley had such a good time with Thomas and his family. And Thomas was very flexible with my schedule. Will definitely have my fur baby stay again when we are back in the area.”
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)
About: Hello! My name is Aubrey And Family My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets (Cooper) and caring for family, and friends over the years. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I am home most of the time, ensuring your dogs receive constant love, care, and attention. We provide everything they need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide a safe, cozy environment for your dogs, giving you peace of mind knowing they are cared for, comfortable, and happy while boarding with us.
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!
“My mini poodle has separation anxiety and Sarah and her husband took great of him. I could tell by the picture of him he was relaxed and felt safe. I can't wait to use Sarah again and recommend that others do the same if you are seeking a warm and kind environment for your babies!”
About: I have never gone a year of my life without owning at least 2 dogs. I have always trained them well with leash training, potty, and crate training. I now am training a service dog (with the help of some classes) and am learning so much more about a dog’s health, needs, and how to learn from them as much as they learn from us. I know that when I go out of town I want the best care for my dogs and I want to provide a good place for other dogs to stay as well. I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)
“Erin is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up and I can tell she loves doggies! She stayed in contact with me throughout Milly's stay to let me know how she was doing! Large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play! When I picked Milly up, I could tell she had a great time (even slept the three hours home)! I will definitely be using Erin in the future when we travel to Elon to visit my daughter and would recommend her to others staying in the area! Thank again Erin!!”

About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job.

About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.
“Grace was amazing! Highly recommend, my dog had other dogs to play with he’s a big puppy so he loves dogs. She was communicating perfectly and was ready to go upon drop off and pick up. Looking forward to another day with Grace when back in the area.”
“A great first experience using Rover! Our Finley had the best time, playing and being loved on. What a warm and inviting family, sent lots of pictures and videos. They even gave our pup a bath after they got into some mud. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!! ❤️”

“Our experience with Kenan was just what we needed. We have a highly anxious rescue boy with severe separation anxiety, yet we knew from the moment we met Kenan that our dog was in good hands. Kenan greeted Hank (our dog) by sitting on the ground and allowing Hank to see that he was safe. Kenan also took Hank and his new friend, Paco (another dog) on a long walk on their beautiful farm, and knew when it was time to provide some down time. Hank came home happy and exhausted, and he will undoubtedly be returning to the farm!”

I will definitely use daysi again in the future and look forward to having her watch my fur baby!”
About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors.

I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails.

Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from tiny lap dogs to big bundles of energy. I know how important it is to feel at ease while your pup is with someone else, so I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and cared for. I also have experience with senior dogs and pups that need a little extra patience or medication, so you can trust they’ll be in good hands. At the end of the day, I believe dogs are the best friends in the world, and I can’t wait to meet yours! 🐶❤️ I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet.

“Gemma was absolutely flawless. All my animals, who are quite timid, trusted her immediately! Will definitely use her again I knew if she was there everyone was in good hands!! I really appreciate her and her kindness”
“Karrington was great with my dog Kahne. I had to make a last minute request and she helped me out a ton. My dog is shy and she was great with him! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet!”
About: I have a big back yard for your doggo to run around in! As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to keep your puppy busy. I give great belly rubs and I know how to throw the ball around for some fun! I’m a college student who is home full time currently and would love to play with your doggo! I’ve been dog sitting for a very long time. I know how dogs get lonely and need a friend to play with! I’m super excited to get to know your little fur ball and have some fun! I can’t wait to take care of your dog and take him or her for walks and some fun in the backyard! Thank you!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life ranging from 5lbs to 50+lbs. Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, and I love caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m available weekends for boarding. I am also available most weekdays after work. I will only take your dogs if I’m 100% sure I will be available and with them for their specific needs. I have a loving dog to play with your dog, or I can keep them separated if you like. I let your dog roam my house always, unless you prefer them to be crated with a crate provided. They are also welcome to sleep wherever they want whether that be with me in bed or on the floor/couch - whatever makes them comfortable.
About: I love playing with and caring for animals. I know it’s hard to be there for your pet at all times, so I would love to help you with your needs. I love to play, walk, bathe, swim, and do pretty much whatever it is your animal needs. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. If needed, I can administer medicines. I am available days , weeknights and weekends at all times. I have had my own dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old, so I am hoping that I can care for your pets the way that I have always cared for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding on a schedule, meds when needed, and plenty of playtime and snuggles built into my day. I plan my errands and social stuff around animals being let out, fed, and comfortable, so adding your pets into that rhythm feels really natural for me. When I’m in a pet’s home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible – same feeding schedule, walk times, and sleeping spots. I do regular check-ins for food, water, potty breaks, and meds if needed, and I always build in playtime and cuddles so they’re not just ‘being watched,’ they’re actually getting attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules you leave, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
About: I’ve taken care of each pet of every kind since I was about 14. My neighbors, friends, family, etc have relied on me to watch their sweet babies! I am currently a full time college student at East Carolina University studying elementary education. I am available for all pet sitting needs and would love to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet dog of my own who is very well trained and well behaved. If you have any questions please ask!

“We had such a wonderful experience with Scott, Ellen and all their kiddos! They took amazing care of Juniper, sent daily updates and pictures, and truly treated her like their own. The kids became Juniper’s best friends and were so kind and loving. We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her! We will definitely ask them to watch her again!”
“Lauren came to the rescue for a last minute trip! This was our first time using Rover and she was such a jewel. She sent lots of sweet pictures of our Stormie! He looked happy and it was such an ease to drop him off and pick him up! I highly recommend Lauren!”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were great. They clearly love dogs, and they have such a great space. Our dogs live on about 45 acres of woods and fields, so Kenan’s place feels right at home to them. We were really comfortable leaving our pups with them, and our guys were very happy when we returned. Clearly they had a good time! We’ll be leaving our dog pals with them in the future!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“This was our first time using Tara as a sitter and we were very happy with the experience. Tara was professional and clearly knew how to care for and interact with Brandy who is a little timid around new people. Tara worked with Brandy to get her comfortable with a new routine, and showed resourcefulness in getting Brandy to take her meds and be comfortable eating in a new environment. Tara sent us pictures and kept us informed about Brandy's progress. Brandy clearly felt comfortable and content under Tara's care. We will definitely be having Tara care for Brandy again!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“Ross and Sarah were great! Aries and Bella enjoyed their time with them. They stayed in contact throughout the booking sending updates and and multiple photos and videos a day which helped me enjoy my vacation knowing they were being taken such great care of.”
“Grace is exceptional, above and beyond, caring and attentive. I am a very high-maintenance cat mama with an older girl who needs multiple pills, and Grace handled this effortlessly, sending pictures and reassuring me whenever I needed it. I’ll be booking her again when I have to travel next!!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Marilyn is absolutely amazing! We had contacted her hoping she might be able to accommodate our dogs for a last minute trip, and she quickly set up the meet and greet and boarding! Our "puppies" tend to be pretty high energy, and they seemed to fit right in with the family. This was the first trip I've been on where I forgot to worry about the dogs and just enjoy our trip, which never happens. The communication, updates, and photos were consistent and frequent, and I felt like they were in amazing hands the entire time. Both Maci and Oakley came back so happy (and so tired). I cannot say enough about amazing Marilyn (and her family) are! Thank you so much for everything, Maci and Oakley will definitely be back to play!”
“This is our first time being away from our dogs and we were anxious to leave them in someone else's care, but we're so glad that we found Heather! She treated them as if they were her own and we could tell that the dogs had a wonderful time with her and her husband. We got to fully enjoy our trip because we knew that the dogs were taken care of and that they were also having fun. We'll definitely seek her out again in the future for our next trip. Highly recommend to other dog parents! 11/10 :D”
“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”
“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”
