“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”
“Moose has the best time with Evie and Fritz. They take such great care of him and make him feel right at home. We’re so grateful to have people we trust with Moose and will definitely continue booking with them!”
“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!”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. She provided pictures and updates and responds quickly to txt messages. The backyard is fenced. Very pleasant experience! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, safe environment for pet care!! 🐾🐾 NL”
“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“This is our second time using Anna for our two dogs and both times have been a positive experience! She’s accommodating to their medications and other needs and responsive with updates! When we pick them up, they seem happy and are not eager to leave her house which tells us they enjoy it there! Would recommend!”
“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!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“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!”
About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Trenon was very watchful of my puppy. She made sure she had exercise and playtime. Trenons personality is calm and in control, perfect for my timid dog. It’s my first time leaving my puppy and Trenon sent me so many happy pics while I was gone!”
“We are so incredible happy to have found Emily & Will to dog-sit our Ella!!!! We asked them to take care of our little Chihuahua twice in the last 5 month because we had to go to the Netherlands. Both times Ella stayed over for several weeks, even more then a month the last time and we couldn't have be more relaxed because of the loving care they give all the dogs they take care of. Ella really became one of the pack in their loving home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. No doubt at all that we will ask you again the next times we need a dog sitter for Ella!”
“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!”
“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!”

About: I loved cats as a kid and then somehow became a 'dog person' in my late teens and young adulthood. Now, I recognize cats for the amazingly intelligent and loving animals that they are. A magical black cat named Roger showed me the light. I like providing the play stimulation and firm pets and snuggles (if wanted) these sensitive creatures need and I find their sweet company so restful. I'd love to get to know your cat! (as much as I can, who can REALLY know a cat?)
“What a treat it was to have Lily housesit for our two kitties! We are definitely booking her again. They were well taken care of, and with all the wonderful photos Lily sent us, we were at peace and able to enjoy our trip! Thank you so much Lily! 🥰”
“Heidi is phenomenal! Her service was exceptional. I will definitely be using her services again! My Sadie girl took very well to her. She kept me updated daily with check ins and pictures which I really appreciate. We are all always nervous when leaving a loved one with a stranger but I must say Heidi made me feel at ease. THANK YOU SO MUCH HEIDI!”
“Thank you so much for your thoughtful care of my fur babies! They looked amazing when I got home. I did not worry about them while traveling because I knew they were in excellent hands!”
“Brianna was wonderful! Her update are great - above and beyond. it truly seemed like our cats didn't even notice we were away! Brianna will be the first person I call when I travel.”
“Autumn was amazing. It was clear that she is great with animals, and my cat immediately warmed up to her. She sent pictures and kept me updated all weekend. She also was very easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are 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.”
“She came accepted the 2x/day drop-in 3days in a row within minutes of my request! She was very accommodating! Loved on my puppy! Loved the picture updates and report card of the visit! I will be using her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized and attentive approach to pet care. With over 8 years of experience, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is an essential part of my weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care. My mornings typically include check-ins or walks for pets, ensuring they start their day with exercise and attention. I also plan my mid-day breaks or work intervals to accommodate feeding, potty breaks, or playtime as needed. On days when my schedule includes specific commitments, like work or classes, I always make time before and after to ensure pets are cared for without any interruptions to their routine. My approach is adaptable, allowing me to meet the needs of pets and their owners, whether they require short visits, extended care. I strive to maintain a pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and minimize stress. This includes following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions, such as administering medications or specific training. I also prioritize keeping their environment clean and safe, making sure food and water bowls are sanitized and their living area is tidy. While in my client’s home, I respect their space by leaving it as clean and organized as when I arrived, ensuring a worry-free environment. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment. I designate areas where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I adhere to their usual feeding and exercise schedules and provide plenty of attention and enrichment activities. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor play, and cuddles; for cats or smaller animals, I ensure they have quiet spaces and interactive play. I also take precautions to ensure a safe environment by securing harmful items and monitoring interactions if I have other pets.
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities — from playful kittens to shy seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I can handle feeding, playtime, litter care, and special needs with genuine care.
About: I was raised with a Swiss mountain dog for an older sister, and became her caretaker in later years. I’ve had dogs in my life ever since, and have learned the right mix of patience, attention, and love that it takes to give them the life they deserve! As a recent college grad who moved away from home, I dearly miss my own dog and would love to meet yours ❤️ As a Duke grad, I now work at the Duke Campus Farm as a communications fellow. My days end early, and a large percentage of work can be done remotely while watching your pup. As someone who has dealt with their fair share of naughty pets, I can keep a watchful eye on your dog in or out of the house and crate as needed.
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. My pet sitting journey actually began with my neighbor's cat, who took an instant liking to me and became my very first client. These days, I share my home with two chaos gremlins of my own, and cats remain one of my greatest passions in life.

About: I began my journey learning about responsible pet care and dog training when I was ten years old and enrolled in 4H with my puppy. Since that early age I have gained professional experience in vet clinics, pet stores, and as a professional dog jogger. I did extensive research on positive reinforcement training when I adopted my shy, border collie mix puppy in 2020 and am a strong believer in its ability to form strong bonds and trust with any pet. I currently have a remote job that gives me open flexibility. I can also make evening visits and overnights stays throughout the week. I can work from your home on my laptop when I am pet/house sitting, providing a lot of companionship for your best friend! I will care for the pets in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I am open to developing pet care in my home for doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard and am located right next to Cedarock Rock. I walk our dogs there almost daily. Our young dog Hugo would love a dog to play with!
“My mini poodle has separation anxiety and Sarah and her husband took great of him. I could tell by the picture of him he was relaxed and felt safe. I can't wait to use Sarah again and recommend that others do the same if you are seeking a warm and kind environment for your babies!”
“Zydae was wonderful from messaging to the Meet & Greet to the doggie daycare services. Our pup is a bit shy at first (stranger danger), so when she wagged her tail with Zydae and saw how they engaged together, we felt good about it :) As first time parents, Zydae communicated well throughout the day and sent photos and videos, which brought us so much joy since it was Ryn’s first drop-off ever! Huge plus that she has other pups to play with too. Would definitely book again. Thank you Zydae ?”
“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: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
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!
“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”
About: Hey there, My name is hannah but most people just call me Harlie. Im a full time stay at home dog mom and trainer. I love dedicating my time to pampering your dogs. Ive been a dog trainer and service dog handler for 10 years and grew up Raising and training hunting dogs. My goal is to treat your pets as i would my own. (who are spoiled rotten but dont tell them that) I specialize in dogs with seperation anxiety and behavorial issues. Im available thru the week and the weekends. Your pet will have a ball staying with me. I will make sure your pet has the most fun and comes back to you tired, happy and well mannered. Drop offs and pickups 7 days a week. If im gone I have 24/7 camera monitoring in my kennel area so I can always see and hear what's going on. When im home outdoor games and interactive puzzles and treats will fill your pups mental and physical needs. I have a beautiful fenced in back yard, grooming facilities, training room, and more. Your pet will get everything they need and want while here. Everything is tailored to each individual dog based on their needs. While I do provide kennels if your pet is nervous or never boarded before id highly suggest bringing their own Kennels. Any damage done to my kennels will encur a fee and no repeat bookings unless the dog comes with anxiety medications upon next booking and you'll be required to provide your own kennels after that.
“Cynthia is wonderful. My husband and I talked about adopting a dog for a while, but we weren't sure how to solve the problem of leaving a dog home alone for the hours we work. A coworker told me about Rover, and I checked it out. The reviews of Cynthia and her location prompted me to contact her. From the first time we met for a meet and greet, I was comfortable with her and with her leadership style. Her own dogs are well-trained and sweet-natured. This past week, I left my 4 month old puppy Mia with her three days, and Mia loves it there! She got out of my SUV by herself for the first time just to go greet Cynthia and her dog Amani. Not only does Cynthia manage multiple dogs with grace and gentle alpha energy, but she also gives me tips on how to communicate with Mia. I'm so glad Mia's got a place like Cynthia's to go during the day to go on hikes and socialize with other dogs.”
“Summer did amazing with George for daycare! My little pup was very happy and tired out by the time I picked him up. Will definitely be rebooking with her! She even gave a little baggy with a sweet note and dog treats as a gift to us! As well as plenty of sweet pics of my baby George. We are very pleased with her services! I definitely recommend booking with her for whatever services you need.”
“My little dog Toto clearly had a blast hanging out with Sarah and Ross and his new dog friends. They are accommodating with pickup and drop off and sent lots of updates to me throughout Toto’s stay. Toto seemed so relaxed and happy at pickup. Definitely would use their services again, happy customer and happy pup.”

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 cannot say enough amazing things about Lindsay, I do not worry one bit knowing that she is stopping in to take care of Ellie❤️”
“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”

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.

I’m attentive to the little things that help dogs feel comfortable and happy, including maintaining their normal feeding and walking routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they get the care they need while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and will take the time to learn what works best for your pet. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently fully available at all hours and can provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and always follow any instructions you leave for me. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle. I currently work with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My schedule is very flexible and often remote, which allows me to spend extended time in your home for house sitting or provide multiple drop-in visits each day, whatever best fits your pet’s needs. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and those with special needs. I began volunteering at animal shelters in my early teens and continued pet sitting for neighbors throughout high school and college. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—cats and dogs, along with hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Currently, I share my home with three cats: my 16-year-old Maine Coon mix, Leo, and two rescue girls, Indigo and Periwinkle. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, my family has four, and I plan to adopt one in the future. I’m experienced with administering medications (including insulin), as well as providing baths, light grooming, enrichment, and dog park visits. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 My current role allows me to be able to work remotely so my routine can be very flexible depending on your preferences and pet needs! I’d care for your pets in your home as I’d care for my own pets at home, with all the snuggles, treats and playtime they need!
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
About: Does your pet require medications? I can help with that! I have been a veterinary technician for 26 years & in vet med for a total of 30 years. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give your fur babies the love, attention, exercise, & playtime they deserve! 🐾 ❤️ Your pets aren't just "pets" - they're family, & I'll treat them like my own! 😻 🐶 When caring for your pets in their home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, & on their normal routine. I'll follow your specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, & any other care your pets need. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own - keeping things clean, securing doors & gates, and making sure your pets are never left in an unsafe situation. I'll also provide regular updates & photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable & loved in their own familiar environment.

“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”
“Moose has the best time with Evie and Fritz. They take such great care of him and make him feel right at home. We’re so grateful to have people we trust with Moose and will definitely continue booking with them!”
“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!”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. She provided pictures and updates and responds quickly to txt messages. The backyard is fenced. Very pleasant experience! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, safe environment for pet care!! 🐾🐾 NL”
“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“This is our second time using Anna for our two dogs and both times have been a positive experience! She’s accommodating to their medications and other needs and responsive with updates! When we pick them up, they seem happy and are not eager to leave her house which tells us they enjoy it there! Would recommend!”
“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!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“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!”

“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Trenon was very watchful of my puppy. She made sure she had exercise and playtime. Trenons personality is calm and in control, perfect for my timid dog. It’s my first time leaving my puppy and Trenon sent me so many happy pics while I was gone!”
“We are so incredible happy to have found Emily & Will to dog-sit our Ella!!!! We asked them to take care of our little Chihuahua twice in the last 5 month because we had to go to the Netherlands. Both times Ella stayed over for several weeks, even more then a month the last time and we couldn't have be more relaxed because of the loving care they give all the dogs they take care of. Ella really became one of the pack in their loving home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. No doubt at all that we will ask you again the next times we need a dog sitter for Ella!”
“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!”
