“They took great care of Ellie and she seemed to enjoy her time there - Ellie is nervous around other dogs but she seems to have adjusted very well - thank you so much for taking care of her - and I am sure she was a hit with the neighbors as she loves peopke”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“Lara was great!! Moxie seemed to warm right up to her and her family. She kept me updated with pics and video. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for any doggy sleepover needs!!! Thanks again Lara!!!!”
“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”
“Stephanie was very kind, communicated every day, and treated my dog well. She took my dog on long walks, sent pics, and cared for my dog while I was gone. I will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. We also offer weekly Poop Scooping service - Just ask! I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!
“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”
“Our dogs were well cared for and we felt so safe leaving them on our trip. Aunna was consistently communicating and sending photos of the pups. She is a wonderful sitter and we are grateful we found her.”
“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Excellent communication and took good care of Ellie--sent pictures and it looked liked Taylor's son was getting along with Ellie--Taylor said his daughter also loved Ellie. Using again--next time for a week.”
“Kaylah is incredible! We have used her time and time again to watch our dog. She always comes home so tired from playing the whole time. And she actually gets sad because she misses Kaylah and her family! Highly recommend her! 🐾🙃”
“Katelyn was wonderful with Oscar and extremely responsive. She sent me many texts and pictures to keep me updated on how Oscar was doing. Great fenced in yard and Oscar loves the sun! Thanks Katelyn for taking such good care!”
“Desi is AWESOME! So friendly, helpful and amazing to work with. She took care of Maverick while we took a vacation at Beech Mountain. Plus, when we picked him up she had him fresh and bathed! when we come back we know where our dogs will go! Thank you again!!”
“Frank had a blast with Abi and her daughter and they showed him so much love during his stay. He got plenty of play time with them as well as other dogs. We received plenty of updates during his stay through photos, videos, and messages throughout each day.”
“Laura took great care of our high energy pup! He got along well with her pet and got in some great walks too. Great communication as well. We hope to use them again in the future. 5 stars!!”

“Delaney was absolutely AMAZING! At the last minute I had a sitter cancel the day before I was supposed to leave for a trip and Delaney without hesitation was willing to help. She was very accommodating around my schedule to make time to meet Ivory beforehand. She provided very thorough updates and was very caring towards ivory the entire time! I will definitely be using her again!”
“My cat was comfortable in her care and her home. She got to enjoy a great view from a nice cat tree in her own room and Kayla was quick to provide alternative food options for my cat.”
“Stacey did a great job taking care of our cat for the first time. She loves animals, and our girl came right up to her and said hello. Stacey is very professional, she showed up right on time, gave our cat some love (even brushed her), and also takes some great pics! She’s also a lovely person. Highly recommended, give her a try.”
“Dave was so sweet and attentive when she came over to meet our cat. I could tell that she was an animal lover! She was dependable and came over every day to check on Juju - she even brought over a cat toy for her to play with while we were gone. I was worried about leaving our cat for such a long period of time, but Dace sent pictures and updates, so we knew she was well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Erin is amazing!!! She handled my last minute request so I could take the kids to the movies! Bella loved her and I’m so thankful she came to the rescue! Highly recommend!”
“Maegan was absolutely wonderful!! She precisely followed all of our cat care instructions and sent pictures and updates for the visits. She was also very understanding when we had to change the dates for our trip. Maegan took great care of our furry girls and we will definitely use her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats requiring medication, post-surgery care, or special diets. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has us excited to welcome feline friends for in-home boarding or cat sitting. With my vet background and a deep passion for compassionate, low-stress care, I create a safe, enriching environment tailored to each cat’s unique preferences. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to provide plenty of attention, interactive play, scratching posts, climbing opportunities, and quiet hiding spots. I handle litter box maintenance diligently, administer medications if needed, and monitor health closely—just like in the clinic. I always prioritize free meet-and-greets to ensure we’re a great match for you and your cat before booking. Whether your kitty is shy, adventurous, needs senior support, or just wants lap time and laser pointer fun, I’d love to care for them like part of our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your feline companion! 🐱
“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her”
About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.

“Yueqian is fantastic! Rocky got to run around with her pups, and he had a great time. He slept in the car all the way back to Raleigh. She also sent cute pics of Rocky playing with and chasing her dogs. Will definitely contact her again when we go to the beach. Just great!”
“Jess was great at making me feel comfortable prior to our first doggy day care day with her. She offered a site visit, but I chose to do a video call instead for ease of my schedule. Through talking to her I instantly knew she would be a great fit for my dog. Upon drop off, she welcomed me in so I could see where Norton would be for the day. She sent several updates with pictures throughout the day. Norton seemed to have a good time and felt relaxed in her home. Thank you Jess for the peace of mind taking care of my furbaby while we did a day trip. We will definitely use Jess again.”
“My Benji boy lovedddd going to Aunna’s house for daycare! He would run right up to her and not even look back as I was leaving. I definitely felt at ease leaving him with her! Highly recommend!”

I will definitely call on Desi for dog care in the future!”

“Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable. Additionally, my requests to walk Gabbie were very last minute and she took no issue with that and communicated in a timely manner. If you need your pup walked, you should absolutely consider Erin first.”
“Stacey is the BEST dog walker and sitter! She treats my dog like she’s her own. She is so kind and loving, while she also works on consistency with the training I do with my dog. Stacey knows the various dog personality styles and needs well. She has a lot more skill to offer than your basic dog walker! She gives me regular updates about my dog’s behavior and informs me of new tricks my dog learns with her. She also sends pics and videos so I can enjoy their time together from afar. It’s so fun! I use her weekly and we really miss her between sessions. I highly recommend her!!!”

“Kamryn was eager to have a meet and greet with my pups. She scheduled a time, followed up and was very communicative. She spent time learning about their different quirks and special needs. She walked my dogs all week, always telling me when she was heading over, provided lots of updates and spoiled them so much. Definitely will rebook and highly recommend!”

“They took great care of Ellie and she seemed to enjoy her time there - Ellie is nervous around other dogs but she seems to have adjusted very well - thank you so much for taking care of her - and I am sure she was a hit with the neighbors as she loves peopke”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“Stephanie was very kind, communicated every day, and treated my dog well. She took my dog on long walks, sent pics, and cared for my dog while I was gone. I will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”

Would definitely recommend her!”
