“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.”
“Oh my God. Chantel is the best. We had never been separated from our Dog since we got her in November 2023. She did a great job caring for our baby girl for 6 days while we were away. She kept us informed of how she was doing and shared videos of her the entire time we were away. She is truly an amazing and gentle pet lover. We would highly recommend her to care for your pets when needed. We would definitely give her a 5 Star rating 😉 Thanks so much Chantel and family for loving our baby girl while we were away.”
“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.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Samira and her family were wonderful with our little guy!! She sent photos and videos throughout and it made me feel even better that he’s being taken care of!! We plan to use her service again in the future!!”
“I am very happy with the care Carol has provided to Maya. She is very kind and attentive to Maya and her needs. She has a beautiful yard where Maya feels very calm and at ease.”
“It was so cool meeting Maria. She has a friendly and laid back attitude. She knows everything to do and communicates easily. She sent me pictures of my dog to update me on how he was doing. Would recommend”
“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.”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“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!!”
“Alison and her family were so great with our Sofie! They kept great care of her, keeping her on her schedule. Sofie also got to spend a lot of time outside which she loves. Alison was great about keeping me posted with how Sofie was doing and would send great pics. I appreciated her communication and I knew Sofie was being well taken care of!! Thank you again Alison, we will def be seeing you again soon! :)”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
“As soon as she crossed over the threshold, my puppy immediately took a liking to Ercilia. This made me feel extremely comfortable with her providing weekend care for my baby. I will absolutely recommend her, and will also be using her in the future!”
“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!”
“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”
“Caitlin was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of Kali Mae, who felt completely at home with her. Thank you for all the pictures and for loving on Kali as if she were your own. I’d definitely use her again!”
“Joanne was such a lucky find for us! We feel so grateful to have found such a caring, kind and unbelievably calm person to leave our pups with on some long vacations we had planned. We were nervous about finding a way to help them feel comfortable with us gone for so long and Joanne's place with room for them to run was exactly what they needed! They've been more calm and well mannered since we've returned from our trip and I can't thank Joanne enough for all she did for our sweet pups! She sent pictures and a update everyday and it was so wonderful to see how much fun they were having a doggie summer camp! We will use her over and over again!”

“Ericka is always amazing with my two older but lively cats. She has no problems giving a prescription injection on her visits, twice per day. Ericka treats my babies like her own and goes the extra mile for us. Don't hesitate to book with her.”
“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!”
“I want to share my amazing experience with Maria, who recently took care of my beloved felines while I was away. Maria is truly exceptional! She not only ensured they were well-fed and cared for, but her kindness and patience made a huge difference, especially with my shy cat, Kylo. Kylo is an extremely skittish and reserved cat who usually hides from everyone. But with Maria, he felt safe enough to come out of his hiding spot, ask for playtime, and even enjoy being petted—something that rarely happens with others. This level of trust is a testament to Maria’s incredible ability to connect with animals. It’s such a relief to know I can count on someone so reliable and compassionate to care for my pets. I will absolutely be asking Maria to look after them again during my next vacation. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your furry friends, I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you, Maria, for being amazing!”
“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.”
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.
“Valari was very responsive and attentive! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her again next time we have a trip!”
About: I have been surrounded by cats all my life, had my own as a child, and finally adopted my very own a year ago! Recently in April, I found 2 ( at the time sickly and very young) kitten brothers on the side of the road that I took in for my oldest baby to have as siblings. Me and my partner could not be more than obsessed with our little family we have created. I can care for felines of any age, medical status, and personality!
“My dogs were very happy and healthy when we arrived home. They definitely enjoyed having Annalise stop by to see them and walk them. She did very well with pics and notes from each visit. Definitely would book again!! And 100% recommend.”

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.
“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!”
“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’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
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.
“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: 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
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.
“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 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.
“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’ve always been the known as a reliable dog sitter & walker in my hometown in Illinois. Since moving to Raleigh I’ve missed spending time with fury companions. There’s no task I dislike. I work from home and have an easy schedule so I’m able to pop in as needed. I don’t mind a fury companion to come spend time with me in my home. Since I work remote, I can work anywhere the dog feels most comfortable I.e your house. I have three fenced in areas for dogs at our complex. If the dog does not get along with others, no biggie they have single areas. A dog park is right across the street as well. If I come to your home I will stick with your daily routine and treat him/her with tons of walks!
About: While I have loved dogs all my life, about 20 years ago I discovered a passion for dachshunds and small dogs in general. For about the past two years, I have been working with a rescue agency based in Tennessee, where there are not enough foster homes. I began with assisting in transport of rescue dogs into Foster, and then became a foster home myself. My own dogs have been adopted, and I have extensive experience with issues of aging, small dog problems in general, and administering medicine. I am caring, compassionate, reliable, punctual, and will treat your baby as if it were one of my own. I am able to accommodate requests and. special needs. Your baby will vacation in my home while you are out of town. Now that we are retired I am happily at home with my dogs and yours. We do early morning walks before the day gets too hot. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that will keep your fur baby company I have crates and x-pens here and can use them as needed, and my dogs are gated n the kitchen if I have to go run an errand.
About: I have a background in animal husbandry with experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, fish, and reptiles in both professional and personal settings. I have a B.S. degree in Zoology and have worked at a veterinarian’s office, Zoos & Aquariums, as well as ran my own rabbitry business. I love caring for animals, it is my passion. I would love to care for yours! I am currently a stay at home mom and work from home part time as a travel agent so I have plenty of time to care for pets and make sure they are well cared for. I have a large indoor space and a large backyard, with plenty of walking areas in my neighborhood. I live with my husband, two kids, and Shih Tzu puppy.
“We just used Julia for our first time and she did not disappoint! She was very kind to our pup and gave a nice big report on him at the end of the visit. Julia is very sweet and has a big heart for animals. I appreciate her honesty and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I booked last minute for a dog daycare with Dean for my two Great Pyrenees. He was very flexible and caring with my pups! I will definitely bring them back! Thank you Dean for taking care of Lucy and Valentino!”
About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

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 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!

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: Friendly, Reliable Pet Sitter I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had dogs and cats as part of my family. I’ve also lived with roommates’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines.

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also comfortable helping with oral medications when needed.

I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs such as feeding, walks, and playtime, as well as medications if necessary. I make sure I’m aware of where the dog/s is and what they’re doing at all times. If there is a fenced in yard I like to spend time out there with them especially. I also like to go on a multiple walks a day; both short and long.

I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.
“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”
About: I am a mother of two grown children. I have had rabbits and dogs as pets since I was a child. For the past 7 years my husband and I have rescued 8 cats and 4 bunnies. 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 had dogs of every size since I was 7. I’ve raised 3 dogs from puppies. Friends and family rely on my to sit, walk, and wash their dogs. I love cats and have had cats in the past. I work from home most days so I am available all day. I work from home most days so I can be with your dogs most of the time. I can house sit, walk, bathe, or whatever you need. I can let your dogs out as much as you want/need. My work schedule allows me to walk and care for your pets as needed.

“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.”
“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.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“I am very happy with the care Carol has provided to Maya. She is very kind and attentive to Maya and her needs. She has a beautiful yard where Maya feels very calm and at ease.”
“It was so cool meeting Maria. She has a friendly and laid back attitude. She knows everything to do and communicates easily. She sent me pictures of my dog to update me on how he was doing. Would recommend”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“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!!”
“Alison and her family were so great with our Sofie! They kept great care of her, keeping her on her schedule. Sofie also got to spend a lot of time outside which she loves. Alison was great about keeping me posted with how Sofie was doing and would send great pics. I appreciated her communication and I knew Sofie was being well taken care of!! Thank you again Alison, we will def be seeing you again soon! :)”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
“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!”
“Caitlin was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of Kali Mae, who felt completely at home with her. Thank you for all the pictures and for loving on Kali as if she were your own. I’d definitely use her again!”
“David and Johanna did a great job! I could tell when I dropped my dog off that he was going to be in good hands. I would love to have them watch Lambeau again.”
“Kailey and her family were amazing with our fur baby girl, Korra! She had such an amazing time with them and got a gift from Santa paw♥️ (such a beautiful idea!). We left for a vacation outside of the country and felt so confident that Korra was in great hands - Korra participated in bedtime routines, was combed by the kids, played a lot of tag and went for neighborhood walks when the weather permitted it! I also got daily updates, which was just so perfect! Definitely Kailey will be my to go person for Korra. 🤗 Kailey was also so flexible and helpful! Thank you thank you thank you!! 💃🏽”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of my 4yo husky. She was very responsive and was flexible in making adjustments to the booking.Overall, my dog had a blast staying at Kaitlyn’s house and would highly recommend.”

Kimberley kept me consistently updates on Tika’s stay and provided many pictures (one of which will become an 8x10 on the wall at home) I am very much appreciative of Kimberley’s service and would definitely recommend her for anyone’s pet. Thank you again Kimberley!!!”
