Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tuckasegee

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tuckasegee
“I was very happily with my baby Axls stay with James while I was out of town. He seemed to very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. I received updates on Axl everyday which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend James and his wife.”


“High praise for availability, punctuality, care, activities, plus tons of photos during his stay. Kaitlyn receives my highest recommendation. Max just made some “BFF - best friends forever. He will be back. Again and again.. TF”

“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”

“Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post: I cannot recommend Autumn enough! She took care of my six month old puppy, Miley, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Miley is incredibly energetic and can definitely be a handful, but Autumn went above and beyond to make sure she stayed active, entertained, and well cared for every single day. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative she was. Being away from my puppy is always stressful, but Autumn made it so much easier by sending me around three updates every day, each with pictures and details about how Miley was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miley was happy, safe, and having so much fun. When I picked Miley up, she was healthy, happy, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious that Autumn treated her like one of her own. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is rare, and I’m so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Autumn is the one. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Autumn, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”


“Alexis is a really considerate sitter who took the time to send us a lot of photos of Dory and also take her on a few walks. She has an enclosed yard which was handy and a very comfortable apartment - I have no doubt our dog slept on every cushion within jumping range. Would highly recommend Alexis and will contact her again in the future!”

“Lacie and her family have become a part of our family. Our aged Havanese is about at the end of her adventurous journey in life. She has spent a large majority of her life swimming and sailing the Chesapeake Bay. Her little body is about worn out. We keep our trips to a minimum and when we do leave, we can always depend on Lacie to provide the best utmost care anyone could ever provide. Lacie has been a godsend in both Emma and our lives. There aren't enough words to thank Lacie and her family as to what she has meant to us. Thank you dearest Lacie.”

“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for my little Bean. It was my first time having a sitter for my dog. By day two of day care, Bean was as excited to see her as she was to come home at the end of the day. She sent pics and gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful I found her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
“Sharon was amazing to help us when we were in need of someone to board our dog. She took him in last minute, loved on him, and went above and beyond for our boy! We are so thankful for her attentiveness and care. We will be booking with Sharon again!”

“Mary was an outstanding sitter. My dog is handicapped and needs special care. We also had an extended stay while we were out of the country. Mary took special care of my dog and she’s doing great. Thanks Mary!”


“Amanda did a wonderful job with our pup Sasha, who was quite anxious and had some separation anxiety. She was able to make Sasha feel at home and went above and beyond to keep her happy ?”

“Pamela was just what we needed for our senior lab. She provided wonderful care for over night boarding. We received frequent communication and the whole process was very smooth. Our pup enjoyed her stay and we would gladly use Pamela again”

“I would definitely leave my pup with Ashley again, in fact, I'm so glad I have someone I can count on to take care of my dog when needed. Asha was a bit reluctant to be in a new space with new people (as she always is), but Ashley went above and beyond to help Asha feel safe and comfortable. Thank you, Ashley!”

Cat caregivers near you - Tuckasegee
“Debbie has been our cat sitter for 4+ years now. She takes amazing care of our cats. She is professional. And she leaves our house better than when our trips began. I highly recommend you hire Debbie.”


“Erica is wonderful! Such a sweet spirit working with our animals. She’s punctual, thoughtful, and works with your needs. Will definitely continue to use her services for our fur babies. 🥰”

“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”

“Frankie did a great job with Roscoe, the fact that he was comfortable enough to have a little play time, as he is very skittish around strangers, is a relief. I am now more relaxed knowing that if I need, there is someone that I can trust to take care of him.”


“I ended up needing a short-notice, “panic” cat check-in option from Rover before a 10-day trip. Lillie responded and communicated promptly. Her response saved my trip, She did a pre-trip visit to check out my 5 fuzzies, then dealt well with them for several food and water refill and social interaction visits. When I need cat sitting services again, I will be going back to Lillie.”

“Parks did such a great job with my two cats - one of them is nervous around new people but he walked right up to Parks the first time they met and seemed totally comfortable. Parks also had no problem handling our excessive feeding schedule due to the health issues of one of the cats. Will definitely be booking again soon!”

“Sol was wonderful taking care of my cat. Sol was very responsive and courteous, and it really seemed like my cat got a lot of attention and felt very loved. Will definitely rebook in the future!”


“Ashley did a great job looking after my 2 large dogs and cat while I was away. She was flexible when our schedule changed, professional and very easy to communicate with, keeping me up to date on my furwads and drop-ins. I highly recommend:)”

About: I’ve owned cats since I was 5 and dogs since I was 10. Both puppies and seniors, so I have worked on taking care of them for a long time! I have also gained experience in the pet care world through working at a dog daycare! I’m currently attending school full time and work part time, but I am able to do evening and early morning walks! My availability does not change much unless I’m away from school! I will not be able to take care of dogs in my home because of the two others I already have. In others home, I will be able to follow details given. I can let dogs out, walk them, feed them, crate them, or whatever is needed!

“A few days before I was supposed to go up north to visit an old friend I began looking for a sitter on Rover.com. Not having used an online service before I didn't realize that I was trying to book at the "last minute." Johnna and Samuel graciously agreed to watch Gabi, my cat, with drop-in visits. Each day, true to their word, they sent me a photo and a written update of how Gabi was doing. I will unequivocally recommend Johanna and Samuel for their high level of care.”

About: I have had many cats growing up and have always loved them! I am very used to cleaning out the litter box. I love to play and snuggle with all cats! I am very reliable and will make sure your pet gets the best care!

“I had a last minute cancellation and Amy was able to fit me into the schedule. She gave me updates and made me feel at ease. I would 100% use Amy again and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for great care.”


About: I am an avid animal lover who has two dogs, a cat, and seven reptiles. I love each of my pets and care for them in their own specialized ways so I know how rare it is to find someone who will care for your pet as their own. Look no further! I would love to hear about your pet care needs
About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!
“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Brinkley and having her watch my pets. She's an awesome, positive, and very responsible caregiver and I highly recommend her! Thank you Brinkley for going above and beyond to care for my home and animals.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tuckasegee
“Amy was great! We made a request somewhat late. She did not hesitate to accept. She watched our 2 boys while we did an excursion for the day. She greeted us and right away was super friendly with the boys. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our babies for the day. She checked in to let us know how they were doing. The boys were worn out when we picked them up.😀 We even discussed booking her next year when we come back! Highly recommend her!”

“Ms Mary was incredibly patient and loving with Rooster the 3 days she watched him. He was very nervous but she took the time to let him get comfortable, which made things so much easier and less stressful for both Rooster and I. Would recommend Ms Mary any day.”

“So awesome! Really went above and beyond when we were in a bind! And was gracious when we held him up. Hugely recommend! His yard is perfect for pups aa well! You can tell he really cares:)”


“Amanda took great care of Chloe during Chloe’s doggy day care visit! Her space is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor space for the dogs to roam freely. I will definitely be using Amanda again in the future!”

“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She sent pictures that showed Abby in various activities throughout the day. It was obvious that Abby enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn, her dog and daughter. She was extremely flexible on the drop-off and pick-up times. This was our first time to use her and she will be our first choice in future bookings. Thank you, Kaitlyn!!”

“Meagan was great and our pups were well taken care of! She worked with us on flexible drop off and pick up times due to the event we were attending. We highly recommend Meagan for your pet needs. Thanks!!”

About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”

“Christal was great! My pup, who is often initially sad when we leave her with a sitter, loved Christal immediately and had a great time. She went above and beyond, taking my dog on a long walk at Forest Park. Wish I was a local so I could re-book!”

“Jennie was amazing! We were in town to camp and mountain bike and had to make some last minute adjustments due to weather. She was so flexible and accommodating we almost couldn't believe it! We hope to be back and would definitely use Jennie again.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life & since pet sitting is my only job, I’m home full time to give your pet constant attention & companionship Pet sitting naturally fits into my day-I am home caring for my “puppers”, so I’m always available to give your pet attention, activity & companionship! Since I’m home all day, your pet gets individual attention, walks, cat tree lounging out of a window & playtime with my cat friendly dog

About: I have had pets all my life and at this time I have 2 very gentle German Shepherds that get along well with other dogs. I actually jog 3 miles with one of them several times a week so taking dogs for a walk will not be a problem. I have a part time job that I work out of my house so I am available everyday except Sunday mornings when I go to church. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and has showed me some CPR. He will be around some days and will be able to assist me if need be. I am at a time in my life right now where I have the time to enjoy my pets and would love to offer my services to people with their fur-babies. I am retired and so is my husband. We just love all dogs and this gives us lots of pleasure being able to care for them. I have a wraparound porch in the mountains that has a closed gate. Also, have an area that is fenced with a ramp going down to this fenced yard, dogs can go freely.

“Bella was a wonderful, wonderful help while my mom was out of town for a family trip. She was so great with her dog, she was wonderful to communicate with, and we are so appreciative of her. She truly went above and beyond for our family.”

About: (Previously known as AJ) I am a lifelong animal lover with experience in dog, cat and some limited horse care. With a natural affinity for animals, I enjoy working with many different critter personalities and always honor and meet any animal where they are at. I have experience with senior pets and I am comfortable administering medications with instructions. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your fur kids- I use a great attention to detail to do my very best to enrich any animal’s life with all of the information on hand, rather than taking a cookie cutter approach. If I need clarification, I am not afraid to ask. My number one priority is always your pet’s health and safety. It would be an absolute privilege to help care for your beloved family members! Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you for your time! My schedule is fairly flexible as I work part-time at night. Please reach out with your needs and we can try to work something out! I am comfortable offering services in your home, I am not able to offer services in my home at this time due to having three doggos in my house! In your home I would start with questions helping me get familiar with your pet’s routine, their normal vs abnormal behaviors, and any logistical tasks needed in my role to ensure their heath and happiness as well as yours.
About: I’ve had my own dogs to care for my entire life and have raised my dog for 5 years since he was 8 weeks old. I have worked for a pet-sitting & dog walking business for the past year! I am on a gap year before starting grad school and have a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home with my dogs and doing tasks around the house. I have plenty of time to in incorporate more walks and pet time into my routine. I have a large yard where my dogs run but I am very used to working with dogs in different environments; I have cared for my golden retriever mix in an apartment setting as well as in a neighborhood. I walk my dogs every day through out the neighborhood and spend plenty of time outside. One of my dogs has hypothyroidism and takes medication daily, has certain dietary restrictions, and needs additional exercise; so I am used to being extra attentive regarding my dogs lifestyle.
“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”

About: As someone who is hardworking and detail-oriented, I feel that I am up to the task of caring for all kinds of pets. From a young age I've worked with dogs, cats, small rodents, and even horses! Some even call me the "animal whisperer." Grooming, walking, playing, feeding, providing fresh water regularly, giving medication orally or with food, overnight stays, and cleaning up after animals are some of the tasks I've performed throughout my time caring for these beloved fur friends. I'm free every day of the week, preferably any time after 10 AM but also willing to negotiate times of care that fits both you and your pet's needs! I make sure to respect other's property and belongings when housesitting or petsitting for pet parents. Keeping spaces clean, tidy, and how I found it is something I find to be important when given the trust of others to be in their spaces. I'm always willing to learn and adapt to your pet's needs, environment, and behaviors.
About: I love working with animals! I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors and friends since I was a kid. I have a lot of experience taking care of both dogs and cats! My schedule is very flexible! I am taking classes at Western Carolina University, but anytime I am not in class or doing work, I would love to meet your pets! I care greatly about the well-being and happiness of all pets! I will do my very best to keep your pet(s) safe, entertained, and happy while you are away! I just graduated from Western Carolina University, and plan on moving to Raleigh, NC in a few months. Rover is an awesome part time gig for me to save up for moving across the state! I will always do my very best to make sure that the pets are safe and happy! I am not currently able to pet sit in my own home, but I am more than willing to do anything I need to ensure your pet gets the best care they need in your home!
About: I had two dogs growing up and one of the hardest parts of my life so far was both of them passing away. I loved them so much and I want to be able to give my love and care to other animals! I would love to go on walks/ play/ and take care of your animal as if they were my own. I feel there is a hole in me and it can be filled with taking care of animals. I know that may sound cheezy but I am an avid animal lover. Being able to take care of your animal would put a huge smile on my face ( and your) knowing they are healthy and happy in my care. I hope you choose me :) My schedule is pretty open and I am open to working with you to find a proper schedule to meet your needs! I am available for drop ins and overnight! I give lots of love and cuddle, watch them play, take them on walks, and of course feed them, and play with them. Administering medicine is also a skill I hold. Attentive to diets and specific needs such as needs for space, interactions with other animals etc..
About: I have been dog training for the past 5 years slowly growing my business. I love taking care of animals as it is my passion! Message me to learn more about me and my experience! My typical schedule is 8:30-4:30 with most of my availability in the mornings and evenings! This is the most accurate schedule for the 2026 year. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a nice neighborhood where I can take your dog for plenty of walks and exercise.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley, I am I senior in the nursing program at South College. I am staying full-time in Cullowhee right now, and I will be here for the rest of the summer. I have over 13 years of dog walking and dog sitting experience, and I have worked with every size and age of dogs- including my 2 large dogs I have myself at home (1 senior, and one puppy under 1 year). I am a very very active person who is willing to go on runs or hikes if that is something you would like. I am familiar and comfortable with administering medication to pets, since I do that for my senior dog every day. I do work full time this summer but I am able to adjust my work schedule according to the dates you need my services if I have enough advance, but also note that I am always available on Mondays and Tuesdays. Please contact me if you would like to know more about me and my schedule I look forward to hearing back from you!😁 I’m currently working part-time and I am fully online for school, so I will have plenty of time to fit these responsibilities into my schedule. With a good amount of heads up, I arrange my shifts the whole week to accommodate if you’re going on vacation or something like that. I can bring a leash, treats, and a harness- if needed for medium- bigger dogs (just let me know in advance if you would like me to). I am very good at working with more than one dog at once; the biggest party of dogs I have worked with at once is 4(all large dogs)! If there is anything that you would like me to bring specifically that would work best for your pet, please let me know and I will!

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life—dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and more. I’ve also helped neighbors with their animals, handling walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and bathing (as long as they’re comfortable!). I love giving pets attention, exercise, and care tailored to their needs. I do not have classes on the marked days so I am almost always able to drop in multiple times on your pet, which also means I have enough time to give them quality care! I am willing to give baths, feed, play, give pets, let them out on potty breaks, go on lengthy walks, clean litter boxes, etc. I am unable to do overnights or house pets.

About: Hey there! My name is Allison and I’m 25. I have two 5 year old full sized goldendoodles. I have been a dog person my entire life. I am currently a stay at home mom that works this alongside my S/O’s schedule. Rest assured that your furry friend will have my undivided attention. Animals are just as important as our human kiddos! I am a stay at home mom and my S/O works overnights. While he is home with my son during the day, I am available to take care of animals. My animals are as important to me as my babies! I know it is difficult trusting someone new with your fur baby, as I’ve had to trust several with mine. I will update you throughout the visit and make sure we have a comfortable plan of action when it comes to accommodating your pet.
About: Growing up, I had always been very involved in the care of our family pets which made my love for all animals so strong from a young age. I have two dogs, a cat, and 7 reptiles:) I have watched pets on many occasions for my family, the families I nannied for, family friends, and clients from Rover. I understand that each fur baby has their own personality and I am always respectful of their boundaries and excited to get along and play!! I am comfortable with any size, age, and type of pet. Happy to talk about a flat rate and can be very flexible! My current schedule, I have classes Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 8am-11am; Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-11:30. I would love to find a regular client whom I can dog walk/sit for on a regular basis but I am also interested in any short term dog care requests that you may have or overnights if comfortable with my schedule. I’m great at following instructions and will take care of your pup as if they were my own! I understand that each pet is different and will cater to the needs of each of your pets.
About: Let me begin by saying my prices are very negotiable! Just ask!! There has never been a point in my life that I haven't had a pet! I have 2 dogs here at home, and a cat now back at my apartment!! I love animals and as much as I love mine, i always love to meet as many as I can:) I am a student, and anytime I am not at my classes, I'll have available time to care! With that being said, I am very flexible when it comes to prices!! Just ask! I am mostly always available and can work around both of our schedules when needed! I pay great attention to detail and set alarms if pets are time depended on dinner or medications. I am always on time, and I don't mind if you want me to stay a little longer to keep your pet company! Any special requests, just ask:). I am very flexible!
About: Hi! I’m Tiana, and I have a big heart for animals! I know how hard it is to be away from our fur babies, so I bring the upmost care, comfort, and fun to your pets while you’re away. Though I’m new to Rover, I have been a pet owner/sitter for over a decade. You can confidently rely on me to walk, feed, and care for your beloved furry family member for drop in visits as your schedule requires. My schedule is very flexible, and being new to the area, I am happy to make new friends, furry or otherwise! I will accommodate your needs. My drop in visits always include a walk, unless otherwise requested. I am a very active individual and love to have a furry friend join me! I take great care in providing an enjoyable and comfortable experience for you and your pet. I am also trained in administering insulin and other various medications as needed.
About: Hi there—my name is Hannah, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Because I’m not able to have a dog of my own at this time, I love using Rover as an opportunity to get sweet time with any pup :) I am currently working part-time, so I would have plenty of time to love-on and play with your pet. I take daily runs&walks in the morning and evening and would love to take your pup as company! I’m available for overnight stays any day of the week and may be able to board on weekends. I live in an apartment complex with no personal or fenced in yard. Week long boarding for bigger pups may not be the most ideal in my case, but I am always open for overnight stays and/or constant drop-ins to visit and play with your pet!

“I was very happily with my baby Axls stay with James while I was out of town. He seemed to very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. I received updates on Axl everyday which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend James and his wife.”

“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”

“Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post: I cannot recommend Autumn enough! She took care of my six month old puppy, Miley, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Miley is incredibly energetic and can definitely be a handful, but Autumn went above and beyond to make sure she stayed active, entertained, and well cared for every single day. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative she was. Being away from my puppy is always stressful, but Autumn made it so much easier by sending me around three updates every day, each with pictures and details about how Miley was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miley was happy, safe, and having so much fun. When I picked Miley up, she was healthy, happy, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious that Autumn treated her like one of her own. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is rare, and I’m so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Autumn is the one. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Autumn, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”


“Alexis is a really considerate sitter who took the time to send us a lot of photos of Dory and also take her on a few walks. She has an enclosed yard which was handy and a very comfortable apartment - I have no doubt our dog slept on every cushion within jumping range. Would highly recommend Alexis and will contact her again in the future!”

“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for my little Bean. It was my first time having a sitter for my dog. By day two of day care, Bean was as excited to see her as she was to come home at the end of the day. She sent pics and gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful I found her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
“Sharon was amazing to help us when we were in need of someone to board our dog. She took him in last minute, loved on him, and went above and beyond for our boy! We are so thankful for her attentiveness and care. We will be booking with Sharon again!”

“Mary was an outstanding sitter. My dog is handicapped and needs special care. We also had an extended stay while we were out of the country. Mary took special care of my dog and she’s doing great. Thanks Mary!”


“Amanda did a wonderful job with our pup Sasha, who was quite anxious and had some separation anxiety. She was able to make Sasha feel at home and went above and beyond to keep her happy ?”

“Pamela was just what we needed for our senior lab. She provided wonderful care for over night boarding. We received frequent communication and the whole process was very smooth. Our pup enjoyed her stay and we would gladly use Pamela again”

“I would definitely leave my pup with Ashley again, in fact, I'm so glad I have someone I can count on to take care of my dog when needed. Asha was a bit reluctant to be in a new space with new people (as she always is), but Ashley went above and beyond to help Asha feel safe and comfortable. Thank you, Ashley!”

About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”
