“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“Charles was great with my high energy girl. She had a great fenced in yard to wander and a convenient dog door as well. She got along great with his dog Pippa. Charles was also very accommodating and kind enough to pick her up and drop her off while I had my car in the shop. I would definitely use Charles as a sitter again!”
“Lawrence was an amazing find on Rover. I am so grateful to Gabby and Lawrence - they have such great energy. I felt so calm during my vacation because my dog was in a safe and loving space. Thank you for the time and care you both provided to Bacchus!”

About: 👋🏼Thanks for taking the time and swinging by! My husband and I each grew up with dogs and also had different kinds of pets (hamsters, lizards, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, birds) while the kids were growing up. We understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet(s). 🐾We offer boarding, daycare and drop-in visits, ensuring your pets get consistent care tailored to their routine. 🏡We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced-in backyard where your dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, explore and do their business. 🐶🐶We are the proud pet (grand)parents of two sweet, 15-year-old sister dogs. Because they are seniors, they cannot hear very well anymore. They are very gentle, and a little shy but friendly. 💖Your pets will find a peaceful, patient, and understanding environment here. Whether your pet is staying at our house or we need to drop by, they will receive attentive care. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Gina is currently “retired” since we recently moved to the area. We usually go to the gym early in the mornings and Michael works from home. 🌳We have a nice sized well manicured back yard that is fenced in. There is also plenty of room in the house for more dog beds or crates if needed.
“Sparky really enjoyed his stay and we felt so assured that he was safe and having a great time. He looked like he was having so much fun in all the pictures that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home!!”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”
“Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!”
“Caitlin is terrific! My dog loved her and she took great care of my dog. Great communication and very accommodating. Will definitely be leaving my dog with her again!!”

We can’t wait to bring our fur babies back the next time we go out of town! ❤️”
“Natalie was able to watch my pup last minute after I was canceled on. She sent me lots of cute pictures of my handsome man. I will be using her as my go to dog sitter from now on.”
“Bethany and her family are great. We boarded our pup for a holiday weekend and did a meet and greet and Bethany is very attentive and detailed and keeps you in the loop. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. Will definitely reach out for her help in the future!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the hands‑on experience I’ve gained caring for my own dog with special adult needs, along with years of looking after friends’ dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important individualized care is — whether that means managing routines, providing extra patience, supporting mobility needs, or creating a calm environment for anxious pups. I’m comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique preferences. Because I’ve lived it myself, I treat every dog like family, offering attentive, one‑on‑one care that keeps your furry family safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. Because I work full time from home, I’m able to maintain a consistent daily and weekly routine that allows me to give your furry family plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule offers the flexibility to handle feeding times, outdoor breaks, play sessions, and individualized care. With my fenced yard and steady at‑home presence, your dog enjoys a safe environment, regular supervision, and a calm, predictable rhythm that keeps them comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, thanks to my full‑time work‑from‑home schedule and fenced‑in yard for safe outdoor time. My own senior dog sets a gentle, steady rhythm in the home, which helps visiting dogs feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means scheduled feedings, medication support, mobility assistance, or extra patience for anxious pups. With consistent supervision, personalized care, and a secure space to play and unwind, I make sure every dog feels safe, supported, and truly at home.
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Jasmine is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is so sweet and caring. You can really tell this is a passion of hers. I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her!”
“Mindy was wonderful with Issu, she tended to all his needs and was able to provide him with a comfortable pleasant stay I am very pleased and definitely recommend her to take care of your loved ones”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hiddenite
“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”
About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties. I have a large fenced yard -- especially-so since my house sits along North Center Street. I also use carabiners to make sure that gates are locked.
“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”
About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 11. I’ve spent many years managing a 5 doctor veterinary hospital. I treat your pets as I would treat my own. All the pets I’ve cared for have come to know me as their Aunt Sunny. Your pets will receive the type of care you want them to receive. I won’t just drop in and go. Time is spent walking, brushing, playing and loving your pets. I’ve trained many dogs and have spent time as a vet tech. I’ve owned my own pet sitting business for many years and always the go to person for my family and friends. Many references available. I’m semi retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I come when you want me to be there. I’m available 7 days a week morning, noon and night. I care for your pets as you would. I encourage your detail instructions so they receive the same care as they would if you were home. Pictures and videos are sent so you can be ensured of your pet’s happiness.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have had pets since I was 6 years old. My experience ranges from critters with fur to critters with scales. I love them all!

While I prefer to keep your pet in my home I can also come to yours! I do have a super friendly doodle who loves other animals. He can be crated if needed and if you feel like your pet needs to be crated I can provide that as well. I do ask that your pets are up to date on vaccinations if that applies as my own dog is up to date and also takes a monthly preventative for fleas, ticks, etc.
“Lane is great with our dogs and so sweet to accommodate a last minute booking when we unexpectedly couldn’t take our dogs with us on a short trip. Our dogs love running and playing with his dogs in their large fenced shady back yard and I love that they are treated like one of the family at Lanes. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”

About: I have nearly 10 years of experience with dogs. For the last 4 years I have been running my own business where I breed health tested and titled AKC Labrador Retrievers. All of my dogs live in my home. They are our “kids” and our entire world revolves around them. Prior to this I managed 2 different boarding/daycare/training facilities, one in Wilmington NC and one in Catawba NC. Due to this experience, I have learned so much about dog behavior, training, proper structure within a household and/or pack of dogs, etc. I take pride in how well behaved my own dogs are as well as how they are able to co-exist with all dogs. My entire life revolves around my dogs and any dogs that stay with us. I am home 24/7 with the occasional hour or two of running errands so you wouldn’t have to worry about your pup(s) being left for hours on end. I always make sure your dog(s) energy/training needs are met - mentally and physically. I also (as long as approved by the you/the owner) am happy to allow play time with our dogs under my supervision! We do require your dog(s) to be up to date on parvo and rabies vaccines or titer testing. We thoroughly clean crates/floors/toys every day to ensure we are keeping a sanitary and sickness free environment.
About: I love dogs and what they bring to our life! Your pup will hang out with a friendly and energetic 5-year old Golden Retriever, his name is Tango and he is great with other dogs! We have a large fenced in yard and we spend lots of time playing ball and chasing squirrels. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I only host one family at a time to make sure I give plenty of attention. I live in a neighborhood with lots of pet friendly walking areas. I have a large fenced in yard and pups are welcome in all living spaces at the house. They are allowed in beds and couches. If your pup is used to sleep in a crate, please bring it with you! For the safety of Tango and other dogs I do require a copy of vaccine records as well as flea, tick and heartworm preventive all being up-to-date.
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Nice to meet you (and your fur babies)! A little background info on me: I've grown up with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses, rabbits, and peacocks and have loved to care for them. Although my background is with a variety of animals, dogs are my specialty! 🐾💜 I treat each and every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re well taken care for, whether that means walking, play-time, feeding, enrichment, etc. I'm a current pet owner of two sweet dogs and one purr-fect cat. I’ve volunteered for years at rescues and shelters and have experience needed for any specific breed. I've fostered puppies and senior dogs until I myself became a foster fail (we adopted our foster)! I work a remote schedule so I can be flexible with days/hours if I have enough notice to care for your babies! I do not commit to specific time, but rather a time range. Short notice is possible, but I prefer at least a few days notice in advance :) I offer an approach that matches your pet’s energy. If your pet is playful, we will play. If your pet is shy & nervous, my approach will be more reserved and mindful of their boundaries.
“Porter had a great time. The pictures with your comments throughout the day were so reassuring that she was in good hands and enjoying her stay. Thank you Kristen for your excellent care!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve potty trained puppies, taken dogs on walks, fed them, played with them, and given them plenty of attention and love. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. I also have three rescue cats of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely available outside of those hours. I’m available for evenings, weekends, overnight boarding, and daycare, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I can also provide extended weekend care when needed. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, food, and care. I’m respectful of every home I enter and will treat your space and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’m also comfortable having pets stay at my apartment for boarding or daycare and will make sure they are safe, supervised, and comfortable throughout their stay.
About: "I bring positivity, patience, and love to every pet I care for. I make sure walks are fun, safe, and filled with treats and cuddles—because pets deserve the best!"

About: I’ve been a vet tech for about 6 years. Before that, I managed a pet boarding facility. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been caring for dogs and cats all my life. I’m a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations. I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week, and then I work on Saturdays, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will have to bring my 3-yr-old with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm, but he is very gentle and knows to go slow around animals. When I’m caring for a pet, I always play with them and make sure they get quality interaction with me. I also check over their physical appearance to make sure they’re healthy and safe. As a vet tech, I’m very concerned with pets’ health and wellbeing.

I am willing to come walk and play with your dog. Board your dog at my house, as long as out dogs get along. I would prefer dogs that are crate trained but if they are not we can discuss.

About: Retired registered nurse, knows CPR and can administer meds. I love all pets, but can only board small pets in my home. If boarding in my home I prefer house trained and good with other small dogs. Can work with your pet on house training, crate training, and basic commands. I have never met a cat or dog I did not like and that did not like me in return. I would love to get to know you and your fur prince or princess. I can travel up to 20 miles, after that I need to charge more to compensate for gas. In the midst of training? I can help, I reward with praise and can reinforce your commands. I can not board cats, my old gal will not allow it. I am retired and other than occasional trips can modify my schedule to meet your pets needs. If your dog likes the dog park we are happy to go for a ride there. I have a fenced yard and 2 littles, one loves to play, the other is an observer. There is no way the dogs can get out of the yard.

I have two sweet dogs I’m on a routine always, I currently do nails but that’s as a side job since I’m still in school online and It’s whatever hours i can log in I do have a fenced yard and also there’s a dog park at my house that me and my two fur baby’s love going outside to play and they will keep your fur baby company for sure they are the sweetest.

I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, crate routines, and maintaining your dog’s daily schedule to keep them happy and stress-free.

“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“Scarlett was great. She took good care of Murphy and sent me pictures each time I requested. I was a little nervous given the number of dogs that were there over the weekend but she handled it like a pro! Murph was happy and exhausted when we picked her up :)”
“We were so pleased with Lane watching Roscoe. Roscoe seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. Lane would send us photos which made us feel good. We recommend Lane wholeheartedly. Ray & Jean”
“Kellie is so caring and sweet!! I appreciate that she wanted to do a Meet and Great to see whether we were compatible and to get to know Boston a little before his couple of days stay. Kellie was very responsive and sent several very cute photos of Boston's stay to help put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Kellie!”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”
“Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!”
“We are so glad we found Camilla and her family to take care of Toby for us. It is such a relief to know that our guy will be well taken care of and loved while we are away.”
“She did great with my puppy husky. She's knowledgeable about dogs. Most of all she communicates with you everyday about your pet, so you'll know how he's doing. I will definitely keep her as my dog sitter from now on.🙂”
“Laura was wonderful with our mini Bernedoodle! We felt so comfortable knowing that he was in a safe and happy environment. She sent us texts and photos throughout his stay so that we could keep up with how he was doing. We will definitely call on Laura the next time we are in the area! 5 stars!!”
“Thaissa watched our fur baby for five days and she was fantastic! From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, she was so kind, patient and loving with our dog. You can tell she really loves animals. I felt extremely comfortable and happy leaving Mackie in her care. She gave us updates and sent pictures twice a day. I would 500% book her again in the future.”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
About: I'm a dedicated pet enthusiast with over three decades of experience looking after my own loyal companions, from pup to pooch! I've also got the stamina and soothing energy needed for walking and caring for neighborhood dogs when their owners are away. My furry friends seem to know it too, which makes me smile just thinking about those cuddles and wags they give in return! With the flexibility of running my own business, I'm able to always be available for you on weekdays between 8am and 2pm, plus extra hours as needed. I ensure home entrances are secure, keeping them from running into danger when leaving or entering. I give lots of affection as I attend to making sure they have adequate food and water. And daily walks full of fun that consider size & age.
“Our senior pups enjoyed their time with Holly and we will definitely be back! We received multiple updates and pictures of our dogs while we were gone, which we love. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!”
“Diane is wonderful!! She took the best care of our sweet, staffy girl! She sent so many pictures and gave us the most peace of mind that our pup was in the best possible care! Anyone who books with Diane can be confident their dog will feel loved and comfortable while they’re away! Thank you again, Diane!”
“Odis and I had a great experience with Storm! She was great at keeping in touch, sending daily updates and photos that made me feel at ease. Before Odis' stay, we arranged a meeting to make sure he got along with her two dogs. We went over to her house to do a quick walk together and then they played in her fenced in backyard. We spoke with Storm and she assured us that Odis would be in safe hands. After the initial visit, we were completely comfortable leaving our baby with Storm; she clearly loves dogs and was attentive to his needs, even letting him sleep in her bed. Storm was also able to pick up and drop off Odis from our home. Overall, Storm's dog boarding services were outstanding, and I would definitely use her services again. Odis was happy and well-cared for during his time with her.”
