Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hawfields
“cruz was well cared for and communication was excellent! from the pictures i was sent, i could tell cruz was happy and had plenty of friends to play with. would definitely recommend, we will board with jordan again!”
“Ash was very happy to see me when I picked her up, which to me meant she had a GREAT time!!!! Lauren and family were wonderful and treated Ash as one of their own!?? I would have loved more pictures and more updates (gone eleven days), but that’s me (missed my baby). And it’s hard to find the “perfect balance” - - keeping owners informed and disturbing their vacation. However, ANY TIME I reached out to Lauren she was quick to reply and many times with pictures. Will use again!”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Anna is great! My Sammy has a great time there and I know he’s being taken good care of! As a puppy he stayed with Anna for a week. She knew I was a little concerned to leave him for that long but she reassured me he would be fine. She gave me updates, sent pics and washed the worry away! Sammy had a great time and was perfectly fine and happy when I returned. I would recommend Anna to take care of your babies too! 🐶🥰”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Ruby had a great time at Vanessa’s! She was very well taken care of and had lots of new adventures. Vanessa made sure to send me regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“Sarah & Josiah are great! They are SO nice and take such great care of my little fur ball. Such a huge sense of relief knowing he’s in good hands when he can’t come along.”
“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Emily and William are amazing! They are so welcoming and take great care of our dog. Kodi loves staying with them and his best friend Duncan. Highly recommend!”
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Britteny took such great care of my 3 dogs! She messaged me with updates, photos, and videos throughout their stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care, and they were very comfortable being there. I definitely recommend her!”

“We booked with Rebecca again because she was so spectacular at taking care of our cats. She made them feel comfortable enough to come out and play with her with her calming presence. She even got my stubborn cat to take his medicine! Such a great sitter”
“Deb is great and our cats seem to love her. This is our third time using her. She’s reliable, trustworthy, friendly and very responsive. We will definitely use her again next time we travel.”
“Jennifer took great care of my cat with drop-in visits, including giving him a daily pill he needs. She was a wonderful communicator -- before, during, and after the citsitting period. I've already booked her for another set of visits to take care of my cat.”
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.
“Brittany took exceptionally good care of our cat while we were out of the country with very little access to our phones to check in. We felt completely confident in her abilities on our vacation.”
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”
“Gemma looked after my two one-year-old cats while I was away on a family beach trip for five days. I was nervous about leaving my kitties overnight for the first time. She came for an initial visit before my trip so I could meet her and explain how to care for the kitties. While I was gone, she did two drop-in visits a day to give the cats fresh food and water and scoop litter boxes. She also played with them with one of their favorite wand toys! She sent me updates from every visit with a written description, photos, and even some video clips. It made me feel much better to get regular updates on how they were doing! The kitties were nervous at first but even my shy kitty warmed up to her after a few visits. Gemma did a great job looking after my kitties and helped to put my mind at ease. I would be glad to have her watch my kitties again next time I am away!”
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”
“Tristina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She was easy to get a hold of and kept me updated on my cats well being (she is on medications and needed them administered while I was away) I'll be hiring her again for sure.”
“This is the first time we have used Lily to cat sit and she was wonderful! We have an older cat with some health issues that require medication. Lily understood what was required and went beyond giving our girl extra love and attention to keep her happy while we were away. Would recommend Lily to all!”
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: Hello! To start off, my name is Amy. I was born and raised here in NC and know the area quite well! I’ve taken animal care courses at ACC and have experience with many types of animals. Dogs, Cats, Horses, Reptiles etc.. I started my pet sitting journey in 2018 . I have had many great experience with animals of all kinds and looking forward to the future pets I get to meet! ***Please Read before Messaging!*** I have a full time work schedule working from 3pm - 11pm Tuesday-Friday and 11am - 7pm every other weekend. Before leaving your home, I will make sure you pet is fed, uses the bathroom, and have a comfortable spot to lay on. Since I can only do in home sitting or check ups I make sure that your fur baby has everything he or she could possibly need. Food, Water, pee pads (if that is an option) outside time, hourly potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. I can also crate the animal if need be and help with keeping up with any training while you are gone.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hawfields
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.
“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: 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.
“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”
“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: 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!

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 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 :)
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: 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.
About: I have had dogs (and cats) since I was 12 years old and I've taken care of many of my neighbors, friends and families pets and they all love me. I'm used to large and small dogs and am happy to chill/play with them or go for a walk. I currently volunteer and foster for a local animal shelter. If you have other animals besides cats and dogs I am happy to take care of them too. Being an artist and an avid gardener I spend my time painting or caring for mine and my daughters ( who lives next door ) gardens so your pets can be with me all day. I have a large fenced in garden with plenty of room for your dog to run and play with my dog and any in my care at the time. You will provide their food and I will strictly adhere to your specified feeding schedule. If I'm taking care of your pets at your home I will follow any rules or guidelines you have in place as I would in my home. Dog walking can be done in your neighborhood or I have a car and can transport to a dog park if you wish.
About: I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and lots of attention! What sets me apart is my experience with all types of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle adults. I understand how to care for dogs with different energy levels, and I’m comfortable following special routines and giving medications. I also focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home, whether we’re playing fetch or just enjoying cuddle time. You can count on me for dependable communication, consistent updates, and a lot of tail wags! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home! This allows me to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My flexible schedule also means I can easily stick to your pet’s routine and provide a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. For boarding and doggy day care in my home, your pet will enjoy a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard yet, all outside time is fully supervised with leashed walks and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have cozy spaces to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space where routines are followed to help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
About: Need somebody to take care of your pets? Need to go out of town for work or vacation? Look no further I'm the person for the job! I walk my son Munny daily about 3 or 4 times a day, and let him run around in the backyard. So pet care is apart of my everyday life. when we have other dogs come over i try to make them feel at home and follow any instructions the pet parents may give me

About: Hello! I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. I specialize in small dog breeds of all ages. I have two small dogs of my own, and one has that classic small dog sass! My goal is for your pet to forgot that mom/dad is not around, and have fun/release their energy while maintaining their normal schedule. I have cared for multiple dogs ranging in weight from 5-40lbs for personal clients. I always treat every pet that I work with like they are my own children, because let’s face it, they are! I recently left my corporate position and I am excited to do something I am truly passionate about - working with dogs!

About: I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 25 years and currently have two spunky Chihuahuas who keep me laughing every day. 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. I also live close by to Tanger outlets and the Burlington area. I have a yard for my dogs to run, play with toys and fetch. Also I enjoy walking trails at the local parks or arboretum.

“Daysi has been walking my girls for a few weeks now. She is punctual, considerate, and very invested in the care of my dogs. I am very glad to have found her as their weekday dog walker and will not hesitate to hire her for other services in the future.”

Also, ask for all Vet info - just to have on file.
“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’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 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!
“Tristina was able to come walk my dog with very short notice. She was kind, loving, and my dog SERIOUSLY loved her. He loves everyone, but he had an instant connection with her. She was comfortable with walking him, even tho he was really excited. She listened carefully to my instructions and made sure to follow the training we are doing with him since he's still a puppy and we're still training him. She took him on a 1.2 mile walk. She showed up on time and returned him on time. I will be hiring her again for sure! Thanks!”

I would have loved more pictures and more updates (gone eleven days), but that’s me (missed my baby). And it’s hard to find the “perfect balance” - - keeping owners informed and disturbing their vacation. However, ANY TIME I reached out to Lauren she was quick to reply and many times with pictures. Will use again!”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Ruby had a great time at Vanessa’s! She was very well taken care of and had lots of new adventures. Vanessa made sure to send me regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”
“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Emily and William are amazing! They are so welcoming and take great care of our dog. Kodi loves staying with them and his best friend Duncan. Highly recommend!”
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Britteny took such great care of my 3 dogs! She messaged me with updates, photos, and videos throughout their stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care, and they were very comfortable being there. I definitely recommend her!”
“Amanda is really a dog whisperer - so calm and capable with animals. Nothing was difficult or complicated. We got updates every day with pictures, and Luna came back tired having met new friends and had lots of adventures ;-)”
“Kenan was quick to respond and easy to coordinate with! This was our first time leaving our English Shepherd , Sam, with a dog sitter and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We were able to take Sam to Kenan’s so he could get familiar with the area before his stay. Lots of room for dogs to run around and play. We also received several photos and updates while we were traveling, which gave us a peace of mind. Thank you so much Kenan for taking such good care of Sam. We will be back!”
“Grace was extremely prompt and accommodating when I made a very last minute request that my almost 1 year old Golden Retriever stay for the weekend. She sent pictures and I could tell when I picked him up that he was right at home with her dogs. Her home and fenced in yard were very nice and clean. I will definitely rebook.”
“Marilyn took care of both our pups as if they were her own! She sent me so many great pictures and videos everyday and provided great updates! We couldn’t have asked for a better rover experience!”
