“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”
“Sara provided awesome care for Josie, our Moyen Poodle! She took her into her own home and together with Sara's two dogs they all got along very well. Josie got a lttle anxious one day and gnawed a little bit of door casing, Sara was very understanding and more concerned about Josie than the gnaw marks. We would recommend Sara for anyone looking for a caring, compassionate person to look after the dog they love! Respectfully, Gordon & Janet Galligan”
“She was awesome and super last minuite booking. My previous sitter back home bailed so i brought him to the beach, the house we stayed at wasnt super dog friendly so i reached out to gloria and she was willing to keep him for 3 days and the best part is he came back tired.”

“Erin was phenomenal. She was very communicative and flexible - we wanted to pick our dog up every so often and bring her to the beach to play, and she was so great about it. She has an incredible yard and gave our dog so much playtime - we got videos of her playing with the kids in the backyard, swimming in the pool, couldn’t have been happier. Can’t wait to come back next year!”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“I never have to worry when I go out of town when she is taking care of my cat emily. She is an excellent caregiver. She has no problem giving oral medication. Emily loves to talk to her. She absolutely adores her pet sitter/boarder when her mommy is out of town. I really really appreciate her taking great great care of my baby girl.”
“Excellent experience for us and especially our two dogs! Sam provided excellent care and updates about our dogs through the duration of their stay. She did a great job handling our senior male chihuahua and had a special bond with our other (sometimes skittish) female chihuahua. She has a great set up to handle her dogs and doggie visitors. Thanks Sam!”
“Theresa & Phil we’re so great with my dog Kailo! We were on a weekend getaway in the outer banks and they were quick to say yes when we requested a booking! They welcomed us into their home to make sure all of the dogs got along well and took Kailo in as one of their own! They have a huge backyard and three wonderful dogs. Theresa sent pictures and updates all weekend. Kailo was having trouble eating and she gave him some of her own dog food to eat. They even sent us home with some extra food and treats! I would 100% recommend sending your fur baby to them to take care of! They were amazing ?”
“We were visiting the area from out of state and needed someone caring to keep our dog in a comfortable house (rather than a kennel) as the event we were attending didn’t allow dogs in the accommodations - so we booked Taylor sight unseen. She was very friendly and warm, and was all around excellent with our senior lab mix - she sent regular updates with videos and pictures and he LOVED running around her land, getting to splash in her pond and watching all the farm animals. Will definitely book with Taylor again if we are ever back in the area and need a dogsitter!”

“We were in town for vacation and had an all day fishing trip so Sarah let our dogs out for a potty at our Airbnb mid day. She was wonderful! She was very responsive and gave great pics and videos of the visit. One of our dogs is a bit timid and Sarah managed to get her to come out of the bedroom and go outside by jiggling the leashes. Brilliant! Our day on the water was much more enjoyable because Sarah took great care of our babies.”
“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”
“Trent was reliable, timely, responsive and I felt 100% comfortable with Trent checking on and caring for our dear ole cat. Trent was very kind to bring in packages delivered during the time we were away. Excellent service.”

I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants.

Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
