“Shelly’s the absolute best - my dogs adore her and love getting to stay with her, even my anxious needy dog. She sends wonderful pics and videos and really treats them so well”
“Can’t say enough great things about the care that James C. & wife provided to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. They were willing to take Apollo at the last minute when our previous boarding reservations fell through. Our dog had recently experienced a spider bite with subsequent need for wound care & medication. Couldn’t have asked for better care due to their knowledge & experience. They provided updates & readily responding when we had questions. Would highly recommend!”
“When you pick up your pups from a sitter, you just know in your gut if they had a good visit or an "okay" visit, especially for a week+. My partner told me not to give too good a review so that they won't get booked up too much :D The pups are happy, safe and well cared for. Pictures and videos often. We really appreciate how much they treat them like their own!”
About: I love to care for dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 4 years old. I have friends and family asked and relied on me to walk, feed, and/or bathe their pets. I’m a retired veteran, so I’m fortunate enough to have the time to attend and care to your fur babies’ needs. I’ll be able to visit your pet anytime of the week with a proper notice. I can visit your home to care for your pet. I’ll be able to take them on walks or dog parks. I also have a personal companion dog (morkie) that can provide a perfect playmate.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog.

I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm.

I ensure doors and windows are secure, maintain a clean environment, and treat every home with respect. I communicate promptly and clearly so you feel confident your cat is in experienced, capable hands.

“Miranda visited our two cats everyday while we were away and showed up when she agreed to. She fed our cats and changed thier water and cleaned the litter box daily. She was very reliable and we would recommend Miranda to anyone in the future.”
“Our kitty was so grateful for having Laura come in and care for her. By the end of the three drop in visits our kitty , who is very reserved around unfamiliar people, was playing with Laura. Laura did all the tasks we asked of her and also grabbed some packages and put inside! She was great!”
About: For at least the past 3 or 4 years, I have dog sat for a family that goes on vacation for a week during the 4th of July. During that time, I enjoy the time of the pups and we have endless fun. We go on walks and spend time outside running around. After being outside, we go inside for a good snuggle. Recently, my friend found kittens and rescued them after they had been harvested in peanuts. While she goes to work I watch them, feed them, and play with them. As kittens they have to be bottle fed and manually assisted in using the restroom. I am capable of doing both as I have had to tend to those sweet babies. I promise i'll take care of your pet and we'll share lots of fun times!

About: Invite me to your home, and I'll hang out with your dogs more than the humans. I even prefer to sit on the floor with your dogs. At my house, dogs are family. They sit on the couches and sleep in my queen size bed. They have the freedom to run the house and the yard. I work from home. I'm always home and enjoy the company of dogs. My dog and I are best friends, so I only leave my house to shop for food and necessities, such as Kevin's homemade dehydrated chicken breast strips (treats)! I have a fenced in yard and a covered deck. My dog goes in and out as much as he wants. He enjoys sitting in the sun or squirrel watching from the deck. Inside the house, dogs are free to run the whole home and nap on the couches or the bed. In my home, dogs are treated better than humans! Fetch is played inside and outside!
About: Your baby will feel right at home with our spacious 1 acre yard. Our hardwood floors make messes easy to clean up, and we always have a basket of toys for every playful pup to enjoy! Our open floor plan allows for your pup to run around and play fetch inside and out. I'm an animal lover, and am equally biased for playful pups as I am lap dogs. Im comfortable administering medication as animals need, soothing pets that have anxiety and specialize in belly rubs and back scratches to help your baby feel confident and safe in their home away from home. I do work full time, but on those days my husband is home to love on the babies so they will never be lonely. We make ourselves available for the friends that come stay with us, and ensure they never feel left out or bored! I keep your babies indoors aside from potty breaks and walks/play time for dogs. I have two dogs and 1 cat who are very friendly and will keep your pet entertained! If a crate is typically where they sleep, we can accommodate!
“The best doggie day camp available. Julie, her boys, the dogs, cats, etc. took the best care of my 2 month old Aussie. Even working on obedience and crate training. Highly recommend.”
“Michael and his wife took such great care of our puppy and made me feel such at ease being away! He sent updates throughout the day and the pictures he took of her were amazing! Highly recommended, he is now my go-to person!”

About: I am a true animal lover. I have a level of empathy for pets that most people think is crazy. Your pet is part of your family and will be part of mine as well. I have a lot of love to give. I am more then happy to accept a million phone calls and texts because I know top care is important. I am patient and understanding and take the time to help with house breaking and learn new tricks. I use to breed Siberian huskies. That is one of the most energetic and mischevious breeds out there. I help with a local rescue in rehoming and donations. I am also actively involved with helping take strays to local vets and following up with owners. My family consists of me, my husband and our five children. There is always someone to give love and attention. We keep our own pets somewhat on a schedule and we play a lot in our back yard.

I love having the companionship and energy that pets bring, making each day more joyful and balanced. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine, and I ensure they receive all the love and attention they need. Each dog's routine is tailored to their individual needs and may include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise. I take dogs on invigorating walks and to the local dog park for socialization and fun. With my small breed dog, KoKo, as a companion, your dog will always have a playmate and a friend. Whether it's engaging in stimulating activities or enjoying some relaxing downtime, I make sure every dog feels at home and well-cared for.

About: When I was 12, I was gifted my first dog named Midnight. I had him until I was 18 years old and going away to college. Life had been tough financially so I made the tough decision to find him a better home. This fueled my passion for Animal care and now animal rescue. Now I’m a senior biology major at North Carolina Wesleyan, trying to gain more experience. I’m working part-time, so my schedule is pretty clear through the week. Well, when I’m not in class. However classes are ending soon so I’ll have plenty of free time to help others. In my own home, I have set schedules for my dogs and I also have a cat but caring for her is quite easy. For a client, I look forward to following any directions that are requested of me.

My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. So I have even more experience as backup if need be. I homeschool a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet so he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. I like to get to know your pets typical routine so I can replicate that comfort for them 🙂
