“Chantel was great with Toby. I received pictures throughout his stay to see he was having a good time and happy. When I came to pick him up he was clean and happy. I reccommend Chantel and would be happy to use her services again in the future.”
“Kordula was amazing! She took such great care of our dog during the entire stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Kordula and will definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Wow, what a great experience! Both Cassandra and her husband are great with dogs, their kids are great with dogs, and their dogs are great with dogs! I have a two-year-old lab who is still very much a puppy, and this wonderful family was able to handle her beautifully. They made her part of the family in every way. I'm so pleased.”
“We reached out very last minute and Maria responded very quickly the whole time and sent us lots of picture updates. We had a great experience. Our dog got to meet some friends as well as go on lots of walks and he even came home looking and smelling very clean ;). Thank you!!”
“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”
“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!”
“Barley had a great time at Emily’s! He was treated like a little king- never left alone as requested, slept in bed with Emily’s daughter, and got to run around with her dogs and other animals. Will be booking again when I need a sitter!”
“Alison was amazing with Toby, he came home just as happy as when he left! I would leave him with her again in a heartbeat and am already planning on using her for our next trip.”
“Joanne took great care of our dog Dallas! She sent us pictures and updates every single day! Her dogs got along great with our dog which made us feel much better. He met a "girlfriend" Yorkie that was she was also sitting that kept him company all weekend long. Joanne has a huge yard with plenty of running space and exercise. She offers many different sleeping arrangements that can fit your dog's needs and wants. She was polite, caring, and professional, and we will surely use her services again. ”
“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.”
“Ashley and the entire family took such great care of our fur baby. We had absolutely no worries. We received pictures and updates every day. I looked forward to receiving the latest update on our little princess at least two times a day. We are so glad we found such a loving family that truly cares for your pet as if they are theirs. We will definitely book with them again! Thanks again to the entire family from all of us💕!!”
“Kate is amazing! She has kept Max several times and she is always super flexible with drop off/pick up which is helpful with my work schedule. I think Max thinks he's part of her family at this point because when I drop him off, he runs right in!”
“Caitlin and her family were great to meet and I am incredibly thankful to have found a home where our dog is happy and well cared for. She kept us updated with lots of pictures which made being away easier. Thank you so much!!”

About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.
“Fernanda was phenomenal! We’ve had plenty of dog sitters and she’s been the best by far that has taken care of our dogs while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond what she was asked! Could not thank her enough and will definitely be booking with her for future visits. Thank you Fernanda!”
“Maria is fantastic with our two cats! We feel so safe knowing she’s with them. And our cats love her (so much that our less-friendly cat has warmed up to her and our friendlier cat is a huge fan)! 😊”
“Kevin was in good health and generally happy to see me after our time away. David kept up with him and made sure he had what he needed and played with him and socialized with Kevin daily.”
“Very attentive pet sitter. We have e a cat that needs meds, and she was able and willing to smash up the medication and get into his food. Another of our cats was feeling under the weather and she communicated this to us and was able to care for her. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Carol housesat for me & took care of my cat Ben. She did a great job of giving him lots of pets and hanging out with him. She left my home just like it was when I left & she stayed in communication with me sending me photos & updates on Ben. I will book with her again for sure!”
About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs almost all of my life. The only time I didn’t have a pet was when I first moved away from home, but I got my wonderful dog, Poppy, as soon as possible. Followed by our gentle Snoopy and now Kevin Bacon the cat. I look forward to making your pet feel loved and cared for however long they need it!! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I work remotely from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I do have a toddler at home but can coordinate care or bring him along when possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for walks or drop in visits. I’ll treat your home like my own and make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible.
“Jessica is a conscientious sitter who took good care of my cat while I was away (and nervous about leaving him for the first time!). I was pleased with her updates, photos, check-ins and availability for questions. She's friendly and responsible and I would feel confident in booking with her again.”
“I scheduled a total of 7 drop in visits with Angela while my dog’s regular sitter was out of town and couldn’t have been happier with how well she took care of him! My dog is pretty shy with new people, but took to her really quickly and I was shocked that he let her walk him within a few visits. She clearly has a way with dogs and was also reliable and communicative with all bookings. I will definitely schedule with Angela again!”

“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!”
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
“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.”
About: I have diverse experience in different professional and educational roles that provided me with opportunities to service customers, athletes, and furry friends with the most positive experiences possible. From birth, I have lived with dogs and have never gone a day without having one by my side. I have over 15 years experience of dog training, dog sitting, house sitting, and other activities to supplement these disciplines. My strength is centered on my ability to communicate and educate appropriately with dogs and humans alike. I believe dogs are such a blessing to each human's life and we must exercise and provide them with their most primal needs so we can live in harmony! I am a friendly outgoing worker with a knack for making people feel comfortable and have an experience that goes above and beyond their expectations. I have no doubt you will find that I am an excellent candidate for your needs. It would be a dream to be able to put these qualities to work with you and your furry friend.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”
About: Hello, I am Ang, a passionate and caring pet lover who has been a proud dog owner for over 15 years. With a spacious yard and plenty of play space, Our home is the perfect destination for dogs who need a comfortable and loving place to stay while their owners are away. We are a family that works from home so you can expect round the clock care for your pup. As a lover of travel, I understand how difficult it is to find quick, affordable care for my dogs. I am hoping to provide that service to those in the community that can relate. As a beginner Rover, I am excited to open my home to new furry friends and provide them with the same level of care and attention that I give to my own dogs. I am committed to making sure each dog in their care feels comfortable and happy, whether it's through long walks, extra snuggles, or just spending time together in the yard. I understand that every dog has unique needs and preferences, and I am dedicated to creating a tailored experience for each pup we take care of. With years of experience as a dog owner, I have developed a keen sense of how to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dogs of all ages and sizes. When you leave your dog with us, you can rest assured that they will be in good hands and receive all the love and care they deserve. Book your pup's stay today and give them a home away from home! Here's a sample schedule for caring for dogs during our dog boarding: 7:30 AM - Wake Up, Potty break, and food time! 8:30 AM - Free playtime in the yard and indoors 10:00 AM - Snack time and rest period 12:00 PM - Afternoon walk/playtime 1:30 PM - Free playtime in the yard 3:00 PM - Snack time and rest period 5:00 PM - Evening walk/playtime 6:30 PM - Dinner time and give any necessary medications 7:00 PM - Free playtime in the yard or indoors 8:00 PM - Wind down for the night and relax inside 9:00 PM - Final potty break before bed 10:00 PM - Lights out and good night! Of course, this schedule can be adjusted to meet the specific needs and routines of the dogs in your care. It's important to prioritize their physical exercise and mental stimulation, while also providing ample rest periods throughout the day. Additionally, feeding times and any medication schedules should be strictly adhered to. By following a consistent and structured schedule, we can help ensure that the dogs in your care feel safe, happy, and well-cared for during their stay. I have a fenced-in backyard and a large field for playing fetch in my development. I have a dog run that is cleaned regularly for potty breaks, and the main grass is reserved for play. We have one child who is 8 and very familiar with dogs as he has had 3 dogs since he was born. We recently lost our pug of 11 years and are looking forward to inviting new pup guests into our loving home. We are avid animal lovers and can be found regularly hanging out at local farms playing with goats, taking our youngest lab out for walks, frisbee, and hanging out at the river when the weather is warm. Hope to book with you soon :)
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at home.
About: I have taken care of pets practically my entire life! I have tons of experience with many breeds and temperaments, and have two dogs of my own. I am able to adjust to any schedule your pet may need to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your loved fur babies so I try to send a good amount of pictures and updates to keep you informed. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to run and play, and a surplus of toys my dogs would love to share. I work from home so I am able to have a flexible schedule and can work with whatever schedule your pet needs to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. Dedicated pet sitter prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Whether in your home or mine, I tailor care to suit each pet's needs. I create a secure setting and build a trusting relationship, ensuring your furry friends feel at ease during their stay.
“Marlon was great with our pup, it was Genji’s first time with daycare, first time being away from home and he was a little anxious but Marlon made sure Genji felt comfortable. He”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
About: In the past I have had 5 dogs. At the moment I don’t have any dogs but I’m a fan of animals.! I’m very active and outgoing also!. I’m currently unemployed with my 4yr old daughter, so I’m available anytime of the week. I’m willing to do part or full time watching animals!. Just moved to NC with my grandma and she does have a very nice Pomeranian dog. Very very nice and good with kids! I don’t have any animals at the moment that I own but I’m very pet friendly and definitely can keep your dog active with activities!.
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I love them and couldn’t imagine life without them. I have almost an acres of fenced in yard for your fur babies to roam freely as they wish. I have 2 human babies who I stay home with full time and are outdoor animal loving kids so we are able to love on your pet(s) all day long or overnight! So excited to meet your furry family member! I am a full time stay at home mom to 2 outdoor animal loving kiddos. My availability is 100% open to fit your families needs I have almost an acre fenced in yard that your fur babies will be able to enjoy as well as access to an AC shed, I have 2 XL crates available if needed and they are welcomed inside the home as well!
About: Growing up we had dogs and lived them all. Got on my own I had a total of 3 dogs and thought I would not have a cat but did and would not have traded her for nothing. Did pet sitting for an older small dog and all went well. Have raised 2 dogs from puppies and one was easy and the other not. I just love animals large or small and right now I'm without any animals. So to be able to take care of and play with dogs of different sizes would be awesome. Dogs and cats are so unique and they make my day and make me smile. Currently I'm retired and take my walks around the pond and feed the ducks as well Currently have some activities at church on Monday morning. Otherwise a doctor's appointment. My time is pretty flexible except for Sunday for church, My animals are always treated like family. They are not meant to be tied up outside either. I feed them well and of course some treats. My philosophy is they can sleep anywhere they want, including my bed. There should be a bed for the dog or cat in more.than one room. Do my best to keep them safe from hazards just like a child.

“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a pre-VMT student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working part-time while also in school full time. My time for pets is fairly open and will try my best to find a time that works for all involved. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed. (if allowed)
About: I think my personalities and empathy sets me apart from others!! I love to treat other the way that I want to be treated. Therefore, I’ll treat your pet with love and care! I’m home from college so I don’t have anything to do. So my schedule is very open and flexible! So I can bring my attention to give your pet love and care! I’m very respectful of others property and things. So if you allow me to come into your home you wouldn’t even know I came in there!

“Meghan was an outstanding dog walker. She played with Steven my German shepherd and sometimes hung out even longer than she was required to. She even cleaned his ears and put medication in them for me because poor Steven suffers from frequent ear infections. Which I am certain wasn’t easy to do , Steven hates it when you touch his ears. She left detailed notes and you could tell genuinely cared for Steven. Highly recommend”

At this point we live in “their house.” I work remotely and have lots of love and care to offer. I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I am physically very active for an animal that needs lots of movement. I can essentially set my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 1-2 bedrooms that can be utilized exclusively for a visiting pet. Local park within walking distance. Meticulous in housekeeping and prioritizing needs of animals.

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I’ve helped my neighbors, friends, and family with their animals for many years. I enjoy taking care of pets of all ages. I am currently still in high school and I am available to go check in on or take your animals on a walk any time from 2:30 to 3:15 and from 5 to 9 I have a large property and walking trails for your dogs to run around on and 1 dog and 3 cats to keep you pet company.
About: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.
“Jessie was great! She communicated daily and was very patient with one of my dogs who is shy. My dog came around on Jessie's third trip out and was fine from then on. We will definitely use Jessie again.”
“Renae was awesome with my 5 year old and took care of our 3 month old puppy! She sent pics of them playing and on walks and went above and beyond with our pupps. I would recommend Renae to anyone. Thank You Ranae”
About: Hello, I am Ang, a passionate and caring pet lover who has been a proud dog owner for over 15 years. With a spacious yard and plenty of play space, Our home is the perfect destination for dogs who need a comfortable and loving place to stay while their owners are away. We are a family that works from home so you can expect round the clock care for your pup. As a lover of travel, I understand how difficult it is to find quick, affordable care for my dogs. I am hoping to provide that service to those in the community that can relate. As a beginner Rover, I am excited to open my home to new furry friends and provide them with the same level of care and attention that I give to my own dogs. I am committed to making sure each dog in their care feels comfortable and happy, whether it's through long walks, extra snuggles, or just spending time together in the yard. I understand that every dog has unique needs and preferences, and I am dedicated to creating a tailored experience for each pup we take care of. With years of experience as a dog owner, I have developed a keen sense of how to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dogs of all ages and sizes. When you leave your dog with us, you can rest assured that they will be in good hands and receive all the love and care they deserve. Book your pup's stay today and give them a home away from home! Here's a sample schedule for caring for dogs during our dog boarding: 7:30 AM - Wake Up, Potty break, and food time! 8:30 AM - Free playtime in the yard and indoors 10:00 AM - Snack time and rest period 12:00 PM - Afternoon walk/playtime 1:30 PM - Free playtime in the yard 3:00 PM - Snack time and rest period 5:00 PM - Evening walk/playtime 6:30 PM - Dinner time and give any necessary medications 7:00 PM - Free playtime in the yard or indoors 8:00 PM - Wind down for the night and relax inside 9:00 PM - Final potty break before bed 10:00 PM - Lights out and good night! Of course, this schedule can be adjusted to meet the specific needs and routines of the dogs in your care. It's important to prioritize their physical exercise and mental stimulation, while also providing ample rest periods throughout the day. Additionally, feeding times and any medication schedules should be strictly adhered to. By following a consistent and structured schedule, we can help ensure that the dogs in your care feel safe, happy, and well-cared for during their stay. I have a fenced-in backyard and a large field for playing fetch in my development. I have a dog run that is cleaned regularly for potty breaks, and the main grass is reserved for play. We have one child who is 8 and very familiar with dogs as he has had 3 dogs since he was born. We recently lost our pug of 11 years and are looking forward to inviting new pup guests into our loving home. We are avid animal lovers and can be found regularly hanging out at local farms playing with goats, taking our youngest lab out for walks, frisbee, and hanging out at the river when the weather is warm. Hope to book with you soon :)

“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“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!”
“Wow, what a great experience! Both Cassandra and her husband are great with dogs, their kids are great with dogs, and their dogs are great with dogs! I have a two-year-old lab who is still very much a puppy, and this wonderful family was able to handle her beautifully. They made her part of the family in every way. I'm so pleased.”
“We reached out very last minute and Maria responded very quickly the whole time and sent us lots of picture updates. We had a great experience. Our dog got to meet some friends as well as go on lots of walks and he even came home looking and smelling very clean ;). Thank you!!”
“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”
“Barley had a great time at Emily’s! He was treated like a little king- never left alone as requested, slept in bed with Emily’s daughter, and got to run around with her dogs and other animals. Will be booking again when I need a sitter!”
“Alison was amazing with Toby, he came home just as happy as when he left! I would leave him with her again in a heartbeat and am already planning on using her for our next trip.”
“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.”
“Kate is amazing! She has kept Max several times and she is always super flexible with drop off/pick up which is helpful with my work schedule. I think Max thinks he's part of her family at this point because when I drop him off, he runs right in!”
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful and I felt so comfortable leaving Roo with her. She has two adorable pups that he got to play with. She gave me updates and sent photos. Roo was a tired and happy boy when we picked him up.”
“We were nervous about having a dog sitter for the very first time but Caitlin immediately put us at ease as our dogs immediately loved her! She sent daily photos and updates of our dogs which was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend Caitlin, she will treat your dog like family.”
“Kimberly was such a great sitter! As I was away, I received reassuring photos that my pets were doing well while in her care! This was my first time trying a sitter out on the app and she made it as painless as possible! Great communication! I recommend Kimberly , and I will definitely be using her as a future sitter! Thanks Kimberly”
“They were absolutely amazing! I got really good consistent updates on our fur babies and they had a great time! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good environment to have their fur baby stay.”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dylan and Erica!! From the moment we dropped our dog, Dillon off, it felt much more like leaving him at a loving home rather than a boarding facility. He received special attention throughout his stay and was clearly treated like part of the family. They made sure he got plenty of walks and multiple trips to the dog park, which he loved. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates — it was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was every day. They have a great yard and tons of toys, so he was never bored. Honestly, by the time the stay was over, we weren’t even sure Dillon wanted to come home with us. That alone says everything. We couldn’t recommend them more and would absolutely trust them with our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
