“They took great care of Ellie and she seemed to enjoy her time there - Ellie is nervous around other dogs but she seems to have adjusted very well - thank you so much for taking care of her - and I am sure she was a hit with the neighbors as she loves peopke”
“Stephanie was very kind, communicated every day, and treated my dog well. She took my dog on long walks, sent pics, and cared for my dog while I was gone. I will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. We also offer weekly Poop Scooping service - Just ask! I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!
“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Desi is AWESOME! So friendly, helpful and amazing to work with. She took care of Maverick while we took a vacation at Beech Mountain. Plus, when we picked him up she had him fresh and bathed! when we come back we know where our dogs will go! Thank you again!!”
“Excellent communication and took good care of Ellie--sent pictures and it looked liked Taylor's son was getting along with Ellie--Taylor said his daughter also loved Ellie. Using again--next time for a week.”
“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”

“Kaylah is incredible! We have used her time and time again to watch our dog. She always comes home so tired from playing the whole time. And she actually gets sad because she misses Kaylah and her family! Highly recommend her! 🐾🙃”
“I can’t recommend Kim enough! Her home and family are charming, welcoming and trustworthy. We left my wild and crazy 1 year old golden retriever with her for a long weekend and received so many photos and updates that it put me at ease on our vacation. I can’t thank Kim enough for giving us peace of mind knowing our dog was loved and taken care of!! Thank you again! I wish we lived in her area so we could use her more often!!! 10/10!”
“Andrew is an excellent dog sitter, highly recommended. He took great care to keep us informed with updates and photos of our dog. He was understanding of flight delays and plans changing to make for a stress free vacation. Thank you!”

She was very accommodating around my schedule to make time to meet Ivory beforehand. She provided very thorough updates and was very caring towards ivory the entire time! I will definitely be using her again!”

She was also very understanding when we had to change the dates for our trip. Maegan took great care of our furry girls and we will definitely use her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats requiring medication, post-surgery care, or special diets. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has us excited to welcome feline friends for in-home boarding or cat sitting. With my vet background and a deep passion for compassionate, low-stress care, I create a safe, enriching environment tailored to each cat’s unique preferences. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to provide plenty of attention, interactive play, scratching posts, climbing opportunities, and quiet hiding spots. I handle litter box maintenance diligently, administer medications if needed, and monitor health closely—just like in the clinic. I always prioritize free meet-and-greets to ensure we’re a great match for you and your cat before booking. Whether your kitty is shy, adventurous, needs senior support, or just wants lap time and laser pointer fun, I’d love to care for them like part of our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your feline companion! 🐱
“Dave was so sweet and attentive when she came over to meet our cat. I could tell that she was an animal lover! She was dependable and came over every day to check on Juju - she even brought over a cat toy for her to play with while we were gone. I was worried about leaving our cat for such a long period of time, but Dace sent pictures and updates, so we knew she was well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Cristina was amazing with our cat, Leía. She arrived on time for every visit, spent quality time playing with her, and sent us daily photos so we could feel at ease—especially since it was the first time we had ever left her alone.”

“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy.

“Jess was great at making me feel comfortable prior to our first doggy day care day with her. She offered a site visit, but I chose to do a video call instead for ease of my schedule. Through talking to her I instantly knew she would be a great fit for my dog. Upon drop off, she welcomed me in so I could see where Norton would be for the day. She sent several updates with pictures throughout the day. Norton seemed to have a good time and felt relaxed in her home. Thank you Jess for the peace of mind taking care of my furbaby while we did a day trip. We will definitely use Jess again.”

About: I may not have years of professional pet sitting/dog walking experience, but I do know what it means to love and care for a dog every single day. I have my own two pups who I walk and play with several times a week, and I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every animal I meet. I’m a homeschooled student, about to graduate, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days from 7 AM to 7 PM. This allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and love they need throughout the day. When I visit your pet for walks or potty breaks, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay attention to their needs, whether that’s extra playtime, fresh water, or just a little love and company. You can trust me to treat your pup like my own.

She walked my dogs all week, always telling me when she was heading over, provided lots of updates and spoiled them so much. Definitely will rebook and highly recommend!”

“They took great care of Ellie and she seemed to enjoy her time there - Ellie is nervous around other dogs but she seems to have adjusted very well - thank you so much for taking care of her - and I am sure she was a hit with the neighbors as she loves peopke”
“Stephanie was very kind, communicated every day, and treated my dog well. She took my dog on long walks, sent pics, and cared for my dog while I was gone. I will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. We also offer weekly Poop Scooping service - Just ask! I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!
“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog.

Would definitely recommend her!”
