“Michelle was a wonderful sitter for AJ! She was kind, thoughtful, and communicated with me throughout the visit. AJ loved her, and enjoyed all the walks and outdoor time. She treated AJ like her own and we are grateful we did not have to worry for his care while we were away.”
“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”
“Sam took great care of our two doxies. She even took them to a dachshund meetup, which judging by the pictures she sent us, they thoroughly enjoyed! Our dogs were very relaxed when we picked them up, which told us they were not stressed at all. We will definitely book with Sam in the future!”
“We have a great pyrenes with some special needs, and a sweet little Pitbull. It was so wonderful to leave our dogs with a person in a home rather than in a kennel at a boarding facility where they would be ignored. Theresa was great with our dogs and they were happy and healthy.”
“Taylor is nothing short of amazing. Our Golden, Zeke, had a wonderful time. Using this service and Taylor for the first time, we weren’t sure what to expect. I will never send him to a kennel again. He had dog friends and free roam of the backyard. It was like he was staying with a trusted friend. I highly recommend Taylor!! We’ll be going back.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 5 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

“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!”
“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.”
About: I've had my own cats for years and can work with any cat personalities. Since I currently have a dog or two in my house, I'm only available for visits at your house for feedings, playtime, etc.
“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”
“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”
About: I have experience being a dog nanny that included , giving medication, different dietary needs, scheduled walks, potty training, and giving as much attention needed to 11 dogs.

“Sam graciously agreed to a last minute request to watch our cat and dog and was fantastic! Mia and Fiona were in excellent hands and we got regular updates and photos while we were away. We highly recommend Sam!”
“Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of our kitties and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day, which we truly appreciated as self-proclaimed crazy cat parents! Knowing they were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also had a last-minute schedule change and Hannah was incredibly accommodating and so kind throughout the process. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah! 💖”
About: All my life I've had all kinds of animals. And all my life there has always been at least a dog or more of all sizes in my household. I am a stay at home mom so being there for you pet is like a walk in the park (or literally). You know your pup is in good hands 😁 I have plenty of references that can reassure you I am a big animal person. I loved volunteering when I was a teenager and almost became a vet but chose the art lifestyle until the mom lifestyle choose me.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.
“Taylor was fantastic. She is very flexible with her time and very patient. She arrived on time and did a great job with my high-energy Siberian Husky. I will definitely re-book her.”
