“Zoe enjoyed spending time with Chantel and family. Chantel provided frequent updates and pictures. I’m sure Zoe will return for additional visits. Thanks Chantel for taking care of our Zoe.”
“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”
“Please please book ! Tionne was so thoughtful and my pup was in great hands. Lots of updates and pictures and the environment was so safe and loving . We will be booking again.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Ksenia was so wonderful with Wrigley. She kept me updated over the weekend letting me know that he was adjusting just fine. She sent me pictures. Wrigley can be a little anxious at times and when I came to pick him up, he was super chill, which means I know he felt very comfortable at her house. Would recommend without hesitation.”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“We're very happy and pleased that we found Kelley on such short notice! She is so kind and her home offers the perfect environment for any pet. She sent us pictures of Marshall while we were away on vacation and that really helped put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our trip that much more because we knew he was in great hands. Marshall was very happy to have another dog and a couple loving boys to keep him company. I would highly recommend Kelley and look forward to using her again!”
“We left our 3 yr old Bulldog with Kaitlin, Jeff & Kids for a week and had an amazing experience. Our pup absolutely loved being at their house. She was treated like she was their own dog!! She loved playing with all the kids and their pups. Communication from Kaitlin & Jeff was fabulous! We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Stephanie and her family always treat Jordi like one of their own! We never worry for a second leaving our sweet pup with their family. We feel so lucky to have found them and to have them to love on our Jordi whenever we are away!”
“My 2 girls had a great week with Alison. They were well cared for and she sent me updates everyday. I couldn’t have asked for more. I will definitely ask her to keep Noe and Shiloh again. Thank you, Alison!”
“Kim and John were very nice and sent pictures of our boys every night. She also gave consistent updates of their day. I think the dogs really enjoyed staying with their dogs and the freedom on the couches. Definitely recommend and would use them again”
“Claudia did an excellent job! She communicated on a daily basis, which made me feel comfortable and eased my mind, since this was the first time being away from Dozer. She sent pictures and videos and took care of him as if he was her own. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Kona. We were away for 17 days and needed a loving family to taker her in rather than a kennel. Her previous reviews all lived up to their marks. Andrea is knowledgeable and attentive to dog personalities and was able to help our girl transition into a good routine with lots of love and exercise. Having our dog sleep in her own bed each night (with her blankie!) made it much easier to be away. I received pictures or text communication almost everyday. I couldn't have been happier and will definitely use Andrea's services again. I highly recommend.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Joanne was the perfect sitter for our dachshund. She has dachshunds herself and gave lots of energy and attention to our dog every day. She even had time to send us great photos so we never had to worry one minute and could enjoy our vacation.”
“Carol is awesome! Clean dog-friendly safe home. My pups were immediately comfortable with her. She was a great host, awesome communication. We will be back. Highly recommmend!”
“Kelly is absolutely awesome! She went above and beyond when my lil fellow had some challenges with eating. I really appreciate her concern and working through the situation with favorable results. I highly recommend her to care for your special pet.”

“Tibbs LOVED his time with Jordan. I hired her for the first time through Rover and couldn't be happier. She was communicative and responsive. She handled everything id asked, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and most importantly made my baby feel loved and cared for while I was away. She is our new cat sitter after this trip! It was so nice to have the reassurance of her drop in visits while I was away for a week. And to see how much my cat loved her!! Highly recommend her as a trustworthy petsitter for your fur babies :)”
“Chelsea was great and bonded with my 4 cats (some skittish) right away. The feedings went well over my 4 day holiday judging from all the photos Chelsea sent me twice a day. Plus messages from her everyday which made me feel even more secure. I highly recommend Chelsea for all your pet's needs.”
About: Coming from a family that currently has 6 cats, I’ve gotten to know the variety of personalities a cat can have! I have a huge soft spot for cats and would love getting to care for yours!! I am very capable of adapting to your cat's personality and any unique quirks they may have. I am also more than comfortable administering any medications, as my family currently has a special needs cat who requires daily medication. Whether you have a low maintenance cat or one that requires a strict schedule, I am more than happy to learn exactly what they need to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you are away!
“Amber was great! She is very responsive to messages and easy to get in touch with. We have a picky cat, and she took extra care to make sure she ate and made sure to keep us updated. We would definitely recommend and re-book with her.”
About: I’ve only taken care of cats for a short time in my life, but I adore them. About a year ago, I babysat two lovely cats, and last winter, I fostered a stray kitten. I can walk them, feed them, clean their litter box, and play with them—whatever it takes to make your fur friend thrive!
“Vanessa was so fantastic! Very thorough, spent lots of time with the kitties and sent so many photos. She was very communicative and asked permission before bringing her daughter to the house during a visit. Our cats loved interacting with her while we were away, we never worried for a second! Will definitely book again.”
“I couldn't have done it without Caitlyn's help. I've booked her services twice and will continue to do so. She was very flexible with both her and my schedule, accommodating my needs, and accepting my request on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Caitlyn also brought in all my packages and took excellent care of my cat, Ralph, while I was out of town. I highly recommend her!”
“Josie/Kitty is extremely shy but really seemed to be comfortable with Miya. She usually hides under the bed the entire time and anyone else is here, but she came out to say hi when Miya came over. It made me feel so much better about leaving her, knowing she was well cared for and not scared. Miya communicated with me during my trip and I felt better knowing she was there. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She’s reliable and really seems to care about all animals.I would love to have her come back next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: While I'm newer to cat sitting, I've spent time caring for friends' and family's cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and giving them attention while their owners were away.
“Lauren was wonderful. She did everything we asked and took good care of our cat while we were away. She even brought a package inside that was left on our porch so it wouldn't look like we were away. Would definitely engage her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 30 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I am an empty nester and when my children moved out they took their pets. I’ll be able to devote my time and attention to your pets as you need me to. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.
“Valari was very responsive and attentive! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her again next time we have a trip!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters, which has given me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I have also watched my neighbors' dogs for the past six years, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. In addition, I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, patience, and loving care. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and my kids are in school during the day, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. After dropping my kids off at school, I'm generally available from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. While I do pick my kids up from school and attend some after-school activities, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. In my home, I care for a two-year-old Goldendoodle, a pink toe tarantula, and fish, so I'm experience with caring for different of pets and their individual needs. My dog gets daily walks, is fed twice a day, and enjoys treats, regular grooming, and plenty of playtime both indoors and outdoors. I make sure all of my pets receive lots of attention, exercise, and loving care every day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normals routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and safe. I have watched my neighbor's' dogs on many occasions while they were on vacation or away for weekends. During those times, I visited their home about four times a day to walk, feed, play with, and give attention to their dogs. I also cared for their fish by feeding them and checking on them during each visit. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and love.
“This was my second booking with Sydnee and she did a great job once again. She even got my notoriously shy cat partly out of her hiding place under the couch to hang out in a more visible spot during one of the visits! She provides thorough and enthusiastic updates each day, showing she really cares deeply about the animals she takes care of.”
“Courtney has been my go to sitter and hasn’t disappointed once. Every time I see the pictures of my baby girl she looks like she has been the happiest she has ever been. Great job Courtney thanks for all the help!”

“First and best experience with a pet sitter! I’ll always have her watch my pups, she treats them like her own family! My doggies are well cared for and I feel mentally at ease.”
“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”
“I booked last minute for a dog daycare with Dean for my two Great Pyrenees. He was very flexible and caring with my pups! I will definitely bring them back! Thank you Dean for taking care of Lucy and Valentino!”
“They were amazing! I was nervous to leave my pups but they were so tuckered out when they got home and I know they took great care of them while staying there! Will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”

We supervise all outdoor time and keep dogs separated when we aren’t nearby. We also follow each dog’s normal feeding routine and provide a safe, comfortable environment.

There is also a front yard with a secure dog tie-out pole, allowing them to safely enjoy the front area as well. The backyard has plenty of shaded spots for comfortable outdoor time, and all pets are always supervised while outside. I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, care instructions, and individual preferences to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide dependable, loving, and attentive care so your dog feels comfortable, safe, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by your side, I am committed to giving them the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I am home most of the day and have the flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention and care. My dogs are typically only left alone for about two hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s normal routine and make them feel comfortable and at home while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being is my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality while providing plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship. You can feel confident knowing your dog is in a safe and loving environment with someone who genuinely care about their happiness. I have a fenced in backyard and can easily crate them if this is needed.
“Claudia is an incredibly good person, super empathetic and kind. Kira loves her, she is excited to go to her house, when we are going to leave her, she looks for her entrance alone to stay with Claudia ♥ ️”
About: I have had all different breeds of dogs in my life and am very familiar with all of the different personalities of dogs! My family members and friends have relied on me to watch over their fur family members. My schedule is very flexible and I have a ton of availability. When you book with me, my priority is your pet and their needs. I have a very friendly dog that can tag along for walks if your dog may need social time or a buddy! You can trust that I will care for your pet as if it were my own! :)
“Ksenia is amazing! Kind and so patient with our hound puppy. She is a life saver! I was caught off guard with our puppy transitioning from sleeping a lot to digging a lot! I needed help with his care, and Ksenia quickly responded and offered help immediately. We cannot say enough good things about her care and concern for our pup, and she even helped with much needed training tips. Wonderful! And her family is lovely as well.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience working with dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Providing safe, reliable, and attentive care is something I take seriously, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am currently a full-time student, which allows me to spend lots of time at home. Your pet will receive plenty of attention and will not be left unattended for extended periods. Our home has a fenced yard and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Pets are treated like family here and are welcome throughout the home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and recently gained experience caring for cats, birds and rabbits. I have also spent some free time volunteering in animal shelters so I am comfortable with all animal sizes. I hope to care for your fur baby soon! I currently work remotely full time which allows me to spend time with pets who are in need of boarding. Because of my time at home, pets will receive lots of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who are fully vaccinated and enjoy playing with others. One is an American foxhound and the other is a great dane
“Tracey is an excellent sitter! She was very accommodating to our schedule and did a wonderful job taking care of Annabelle! She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day, which we loved to see. Annabelle had a blast and we’re looking forward to booking Tracey again soon!”
“Emily was wonderful with Benny! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy while he was there. She gave me regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She was very thoughtful, and easy to work with from start to finish. Benny gets super excited every time we arrive to drop him there. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

“Miya is amazing! She enjoyed all our animals especially Hemingway! He loves her and pushed me out of the way to get to Miya! She helped me with some chores I’m unable to do and offered more help if I needed it! She is very pleasant and friendly! I would absolutely recommend Miya for pet walking or pet care! She is wonderful! Very kind and competent!”

About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies, love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with walks/runs! I am currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student and attend school Monday–Thursday, typically from 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. My availability will change throughout October and November, so I’ve outlined my schedule below to make it easier to see when and where I’m available! **House Sitting** **Through October 7:** I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting, especially toward the Chapel Hill/Pittsboro area since I commute there for school. **October 8–26:** I’ll have open availability and can travel to a wider area for house sitting. **October 27–November 20:** I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I’ll primarily be looking for house sitting opportunities closer to Angier/Lillington. However, I’m happy to travel farther for longer stays! **After November 20:** I’ll have open availability throughout December and the holidays. **Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits** **Through October 7:** Available Friday–Sunday all day, as well as evenings Monday–Thursday. **October 8–26:** Open availability every day! **October 27–November 20:** Available Monday–Friday in the evenings and Saturday–Sunday all day. I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area during the weekdays, so weekday requests closer to Angier/Lillington are preferred. **After November 20:** Open availability throughout December and the holidays! I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!
“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.
“Jordan has been so great taking our dog on walks! She is reliable, has great communication, and our dog loves her daily visits and walks. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker!”
About: I've never lived without having a pet. Dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and guinea pigs have brought enormous amounts of joy and love to my life. Each pet still has a special place in my heart, and I care for others pets as if they were my own. Pets are family! I work part-time and would love to meet and care for your pets in my free time! I currently have a puppy and 2 cats of my own. My puppy (Duck) was being rehomed by a family that discovered their son is allergic to dogs, and I couldn't resist his sweet face. My orange cat (Goose) was taken in after my daughter's friend's cat had kittens, and my big black cat (Apache) was adopted from the Right Meow cat cafe in Fuquay. My apartment has a dog park, which i go to 1-2 times a day with my puppy, Duck. I've taught him how to use the agility equipment, and he always loves to play between sniff sessions. My cats are big cuddle babies, but also like their space at times, so their requests for personal space (and treats) is always respected.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past 4 years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies during the week. I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.

I also cared for their fish by feeding them and checking on them during each visit. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and love.

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).
About: Hello! My name is Chelsea. I have grown up with animals. I've spent many days taking my family's dog to the beach, the dog park, and for a walk around the neighborhood. I will be there on time and ready to have fun with your animal. Understandably, you want the best person for your puppy. I am a cat mom, so I understand the worry of placing your pet into the care of someone else. I can promise you, that I will treat your animal as my own. I have a lot of patience and a deep love for animals. Just know, that I will make sure your pet has the best time with me! I have plenty of availability to pet sit and walk. I have a flexible schedule. If you hire me, I will be dedicated to your pets needs. I will work the schedule that is given to me! I want you to be comfortable in knowing that it is important to me to follow directions. I give lots of attention and love! Play time is a must! I will keep the schedule you give me. The health and well being of your baby is my top priority!
About: I have always made fast friends with other animals easily and joyfully. Pets really are the greatest gift and I only ever hope to live up to that by providing patience, fun, kindness, and thoughtful care-taking! I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I take pride in providing the best care possible, being fully present to an animal and their needs, and providing the peace of mind to you that I would want when away from my pets. With pets of my own, I know what it is like to find someone who you truly trust and feel comfortable with - I hope to be that person. I have a flexible hybrid telework schedule that allows me to be available for care-taking around your pets' schedule needs. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and instructions. As for house-sitting, my husband takes care of all our animals so that I can be fully present to stay with yours! I am open and honest and will be available for any more information you would like to know! Thanks for considering me to take care of your precious friends. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home most days. On the days I go into the office, I am not gone for extended hours. I have plenty of time and availability for morning, mid-day, and evening pet care during the week. On weekends, morning play time is always extended, as is snuggle time, and longer walks if the weather allows - but we always spend a ton of time in the backyard, unless our guest prefers naptime on the couch. I take pet care seriously, especially with other people's pets. I treat the animals with the same respect I treat my own, and how I would want someone else to take care of mine. I want the pets I care for to feel safe and happy, and barely miss their owners. That means I am very intentional about their physical as well their emotional needs. And, honestly, I get so much joy meeting new pets and hanging out with them that I want the pets to feel the same way about me. I will follow their normal schedule for feeding, walking, and anything else you ask as part of their routine. I am also very communicative while taking care of your pet(s)! I will check in with you everyday to provide at least a picture and any updates. I take a ton of photos, and love to share those! I am also always available for you to reach out anytime and respond quickly. When it comes to your home, you will not even know I was there, except your pets are happy and well-tended to :). For boarding requests, we have two very friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats, they all really do get along and we like to keep a calm and harmonious house! Our dogs will play if the our guest wants to, and our cats are very gracious hosts :). We only board one dog at a time. Please do not reach out if your dog is not (small) dog and cat friendly, thank you! (Our previous dog, RIP, is still listed here, she passed recently and I cannot bring myself to delete her profile yet...)

“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”
“Please please book ! Tionne was so thoughtful and my pup was in great hands. Lots of updates and pictures and the environment was so safe and loving . We will be booking again.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“My 2 girls had a great week with Alison. They were well cared for and she sent me updates everyday. I couldn’t have asked for more. I will definitely ask her to keep Noe and Shiloh again. Thank you, Alison!”
“Kim and John were very nice and sent pictures of our boys every night. She also gave consistent updates of their day. I think the dogs really enjoyed staying with their dogs and the freedom on the couches. Definitely recommend and would use them again”
“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Kona. We were away for 17 days and needed a loving family to taker her in rather than a kennel. Her previous reviews all lived up to their marks. Andrea is knowledgeable and attentive to dog personalities and was able to help our girl transition into a good routine with lots of love and exercise. Having our dog sleep in her own bed each night (with her blankie!) made it much easier to be away. I received pictures or text communication almost everyday. I couldn't have been happier and will definitely use Andrea's services again. I highly recommend.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Kelly is absolutely awesome! She went above and beyond when my lil fellow had some challenges with eating. I really appreciate her concern and working through the situation with favorable results. I highly recommend her to care for your special pet.”
“David and Johanna took excellent care of our dog. We did a meet and greet to ensure their dog and our dog would get along and they were very attentive to his care. I appreciated the pictures that were sent and could tell he was very relaxed and had a great week!”
“There was an oversight on the booking dates because of my error and Greg was completely understanding and flexible to accommodate. We had peace of mind that Hershey was well cared for!”
“Tania is amazing! She sent us pictures of our dog all weekend and made us feel so comfortable. Birdie got many many many walks and playtime and she was wiped when we picked her up! Absolutely recommend Tania and we will definitely have Birdie stay with her family again!”
“Dean did a fantastic job boarding our 6 month old Boxer puppy. It was our first time leaving him anywhere for an extended period of time, and Dean was great about providing daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Duke had such a great time with Amber and her family! He was actually really sad on the way back home after spending several days playing with Sam, their dog. Amber took wonderful care of Duke and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, which was such a relief and meant a lot to us. She was also very responsive and always quick to answer any questions or inquiries I had. I would definitely trust Amber and her family with Duke again whenever we need a sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!”
“Mary did a fantastic job watching Skye. She made coordination for the visit, drop-off, and pick-up incredibly easy. I loved receiving regular communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Skye was in great hands, and I highly recommend Mary to anyone!”
“Kimberley was excellent! Tika had an amazing time and played with Kimberley’s fur babies during her stay. Kimberley kept me consistently updates on Tika’s stay and provided many pictures (one of which will become an 8x10 on the wall at home) I am very much appreciative of Kimberley’s service and would definitely recommend her for anyone’s pet. Thank you again Kimberley!!!”
“Kelly was great with my anxious old pup. As soon as we arrived he jumped out and made himself at home. Her dogs were very welcoming to a guest. They had plenty of space to roam around and sniff in her fully fenced yard. Kelly has a relaxed demeanor which is very helpful for you and your dog when dropping them off for a trip.I felt confident in her care and would recommend Kelly to anyone.”
“It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, but Carol was wonderful. Great communication, very caring, and reliable. I highly recommend Carol!”
