“Ellie and Carson did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Uri! From the start, they were kind, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Uri with them. You can tell they truly love animals and treat them like family. They made sure Uri was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Uri up, he was excited and waiting at the door but yet he looked relaxed and content at the same time, which means everything to us as pet owners. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Uri was in such good hands. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely trust Ellie and Carson to watch Uri again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and caring dog sitters!”
“Lutisa provided excellent care for our Shipoo, Juno. He was in her care for two weeks while our family was on vacation and I received prompt updates from her with pictures on his wellbeing. She had a good setup for Juno and when we had the meet n greet, I could tell that Juno was comfortable and felt safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Lutisa again. She is truly a pet lover and it shows when you meet her.”
“It was clear to us that Kevin had a great stay! He was so much less worked up after staying with you as compared to a traditional kennel. Would definitely book with you again.”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
“They were so welcoming to my bully he didn’t even say goodbye and walked right in their house….geez thanks man! He was still excited to see me thankfully but that is the kind of care you can expect from them. They sent me updates regularly and are a very friendly couple. They are certainly people I would trust using again and plan to! Thanks for taking care of him so well!”
“My doggie had his first vacation with Bre and her pack and we were thoroughly pleased. She sends pictures and gives great feedback so you know what’s going on with your pup! We’ll definitely visit again ?”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Maribel was an incredible sitter for my dog, Gumbeaux. She was incredibly responsive, sent daily updates with pictures and was very willing to work with my schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing boarding for their dog.”
“Excellent!! Gabrielle watched our 2 Yorkies when we took a trip overseas. She was attentive and kept us updated with how our pups were doing and sent pictures regularly. This gave us peace of mind while we were halfway across the globe. When we returned from our trip and picked up our dogs, it was obvious they had been well taken care of. I highly recommend Gabrielle. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful with my puppy Blanca. She sent daily reports and lots pictures. She kept Blanca on the schedule she was on.. She asked before she done anything with her. I would definitely book in the future.”
“Gina was great she provided daily updates and sent pics of my furry baby. I never worried about him I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“They were great. Sent pics while keeping me updated and addressed any concern I might have had. Once I returned home they offered bring them home to me, which I was so grateful for. After a long trip it was one less thing I had to do. Will definitely keep using you two as my regular sitters. Thanks Suzanne and Ryan!”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
About: Hi all! My name is Darcy. I grew up around animals of all types, temperaments and sizes. I have always had an affinity and love for all animals. I have my bachelors degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University. My passion and compassion in life has always been animals, especially dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, all of their quirks and what makes them happy. My dogs are my babies so I know how important your babies are to you, and I always treat, love, and respect every animal I meet like they were my own babies! I would consider myself responsible, considerate, honest, hardworking, and compassionate. I would love to love on, walk and play with your pet(s) for you while you’re out!
“Edgar was such a blessing for me and my husband he did such an amazing job with Jonah. He was very professional and locked in with the care and well being of Jonah stay . We greatly appreciated him and his support and family. Looking forward to having Edgar taken care of Jonah and building a friendship and bond for the both of us . God bless you and I know God blessed you with an amazing gift to care for dogs , keep doing what you love and is great at .”

“Bonnie took fantastic care of our cat Nugget while we were traveling. He can be a little difficult and she earned his trust over the course of two weeks. I also really appreciated the notes she would leave in her check ins about how he was doing.”
“My fur babies LOVED Breanna!!! Normally they will hide anytime a sitter comes over, but they all came out (except one who hides all the time) for pets and treats! One of my cats (Finn) doesn't like anyone but there he was, in photos getting pets from Breanna!! He absolutely loved her! Highly recommend Breanna! Will be booking her again real soon! Thank you Breanna!”

“Roselynn was great to work with! She even managed to get a picture of my very shy cat. She is a great communicator and gave me updates every day. I look forward to having her pet sit my cat Ziggy again.”
“Jill did an amazing job looking after my two kitties! She was on-time, followed instructions, and sent updates with pictures from each visit. She played with them and it was evident from the photos how comfortable they were with her. She provided the peace of mind I need to enjoy a weekend away. Will definitely be booking Jill again!”
“Great with our cat. Arrives on time and always provides enrichment for our cat. Easy to communicate with. And gives the best photos on the report card. Could not recommend anyone better.”
“Tricia took such good care of Monty while we were away! I have never seen our cat, Monty take to someone so quickly as he did to Tricia. She was on time, and provided amazing care. I reached out to a many sitters a week before we went out of town and Tricia was the only one to reach back out. We will definitely be booking her again as we and Monty love her!! Thank you for the card and treats you left us and Monty!”
About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
“I was very hesitant about doing drop in visits. However, I cannot recommend Flora enough. She was trustworthy right from the beginning. She came twice a day to care for my cats. I received pictures and medicine updates. I will 100% be booking with her again for our next trip. She is prompt, trustworthy and great to work with!”
“Katy did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my kiddos 2-3 times a week while I was working at summer camp. One of my cats is typically very shy and skittish but Katy won him over instantly! I appreciate her timeliness and consistency and looked forward to her updates.”
About: I have had many cats throughout my life and have experience in kittens and senior cats. My last cat had severe cystitis so I do have experience in giving medicine and knowing what to look for in a cats urine output. I am familiar with several types of medicine (gaba, buprenex, and anxiety medications).
About: I have a soft spot for animals because I grew up with lots of them and hope to help strays in the future. I’ve helped my mom my entire life with her dog business so I’m very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs! I have a very flexible schedule so I’m typically available if needed. I am able to do a few drop ins a day and for long term clients, overnight stays. If your pet needs to be let out in a fenced area or walked I can do that along with feeding and providing fresh water when needed. Additionally, I don’t mind a little enrichment such as playing fetch or a little tug of war. All animals should feel safe and comfortable and I provide that feeling.
“Emily was an awesome sitter for our elderly special needs standard poodle. And we arrived home after a week away to a spotless house and bedding that had been washed due to our dog’s accident. I recommend her highly!”
“McKenna was great! We had to go out of town on short notice and McKenna was able to squeeze us in and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is very friendly but the other is slower to warm up to strangers. She was sensitive to the differences in their personalities and was able to get our shy cat to warm up to her quite a bit in the few days we were gone. We will absolutely ask McKenna first the next time we have to go out of town!”
“Summer is great! She was so flexible with me when booking and was great with Lilo. She even brought in a few packages that came. I will be using her in the future!”
“Betty did a great job taking the time my boy needed to get more comfortable on his first visit. He's a super sweet boy but shy and apprehensive at first. She helped make him feel comfortable and he warmed up quickly. I expect the next visits will be even better. Thank you Betty!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. Family members have relied on me before to feed, water, and play with their pets. I absolutely adore cats. That’s why nothing would make me happier than to meet and care your precious cat(s).

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”
“Tulasi did wonderful with Paco we've never left her with anybody but family and she just loved her and was excited to go back the next day and I've already setting up to book three more overnight visits within the next few months so I would highly recommend her”
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“Andrea was so amazing to my baby girl Kylie. Kylie instantly loved her and felt comfortable. She communicated well, set updates and pics. I can tell kyky had a good time with her, her pups and family. Thank you again Andrea. I will be using her again.”
“Suzanne and Ryan were gracious enough to fit us in at the last minute. They are great people with a wonderful house/fenced backyard for our two dogs. Our dogs adored them and were worn out from a great day at their home. We would recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Morgan and her family were absolutely AMAZING to my sweet pup! You can really tell that she (along with her children) really just love to care for animals. I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
“Allison did a great job keeping Rigel, she kept me updated and sent pictures of her day. I work long hours and it means alot to have her with someone I can trust. I know I will need Allison again in the future!”
“Karyssa and her family were communicative about pick-up, drop-off, and events during the daycare. Gumby had a great time hanging out with her family. We couldn’t recommend her more 🐶! 10/10 would do it again.”

“Ashlee was great! First time my dog has been under supervision from anyone else and I can tell he enjoyed being there. When I went to pick him up he made sure to leave her with a few kisses. Would definitely recommend her & will be using her services again.”
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the home, a home isn’t a home unless you here the pitter patter of those paws of the floor. Dogs are at the heart of my being and unfortunately you can only have so many. But the best way I’ve found to experience the love of all kind of dogs are through the caring for of everyone else’s four legged friend. I’ve always watched and cared for others animals off and on as a side income and personal enjoyment; giving all the love and attention they need while their human is away. All the way back when I was in high school, many years ago, I discovered the love and care for others dogs when I worked for the groomers and it’s never stopped since. My sweet Winter departed in 2020 after 13 long and steady years by my side and while I haven’t yet been ready to give my full heart away I’ve found great healing, giving lots of love, walks, baths, ball games, and lots of snuggs, All welcomed with love. After 10 years working in the field of Art Education and Public Art Coordination I decided to take the leap and start my business, Swift & Dapper LLC. Life is never one size fit all and too short to accept anything less that extraordinary whether that’s personal style or grooming, spacial reconfiguration or custom built carpentry, curated interiors or stunning professional services you have specific needs and you deserve nothing less than what you need and then some. S&D is happy to offer paw-fessional pet services. With a home based operations that leaves plenty of time for swing by visits or stay-cations for your special friend. They’ll have all the attention they need and anything else to ensure a happy and paw-sitive care. Our four legged friends should always be at home and feel comfortable. Fresh running water, soft comfy rugs and beds, and lots of fluffy blankets for those that like to snuggle up on the sofa for a movie. Our backyard is large and fenced in, ready for fetch and play time. We are used to having little furry ones (especially our neighbor’s little ones) wandering around and keep it in the front of mind always. Instructions for specific care are much appreciated and followed to the ledger.
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
“Just like before, Jenna and Shane took great care of Gus. They were very accommodating for us on a last minute booking. He was happy when we picked him up and seemed like he played all day with their pups. We will continue to book them for future stays!”
“Christina was great with my dog Remus. She was attentive and listened about my concerns for him. She provided regular communications about how their day was going. I was very appreciative of her efforts and care.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, from goats to chickens to house cats. I own a dog, who’s a year and a half old now, but I trained him from the time he was 8 weeks old. I also had a senior dog in my teens that I took care of. I have never met a critter I don’t love!! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my young daughter so I have plenty of time to pour all the love into your pup or kitty (or other!). My schedule is flexible to suit your needs and your fur baby’s preferences. I have a happy, friendly mid sized heeler pup who just loves other dogs and cats. I am happy to crate him if you are more comfortable with our critters not interacting while in my home, and of course, he will remain at my house while I care for your animals in your own home.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to one energetic German Shorthaired Pointer puppy and two independent (but secretly snuggly) cats. Caring for such a high-energy breed has given me lots of experience with exercise needs, structure, and gentle training — while my cats remind me to always respect boundaries and read body language. Whether your pet is playful, shy, anxious, or a total goofball, I meet them where they are. I believe in kind, attentive care and keeping pets as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. With a flexible schedule and ample free time, I’m able to provide reliable, consistent care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s frequent potty breaks, medication on a schedule, or just keeping them company, I’m fully present and available. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I’m always respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.
“Laura is amazing. She has a big heart for dogs, and took great care of Brooks. Her communication about Brooks after his walk was perfect, and I will be using her agian!”
“Tricia has walked my dog for the past few weeks and is wonderful. Very communicative, on time, and very kind. My dog takes so well to her and I’m so grateful for the extra help during the week.”
About: I retired from teaching 4 years ago and have been caring for pets in their homes, cleaning litter boxes and taking dogs out for exercise during that time. I have personally owned 2 large dogs well into their senior years. I have had cats my entire life and still have one. I typically take care of cats and dogs when their owners are away; feeding, administering pills, cleaning litter boxes, exercising/playing with dogs, and playing/cuddling with cats. I believe these visits have been the most rewarding activities of my life. As a retired teacher, I am flexible to care for pets any day of the week. I am also willing to stay overnight in your home and be your pet’s companion. I still have a cat of my own on whom I like to check at some point each day if staying nights at another pet owner’s home. Sometimes the owners I serve are away for 7-15 days at a time. I will send daily updates and pictures as well during your absence. I have been providing care for pets in the owners’ homes. I therefore water and feed the cats and dogs and administer pills, if needed. I clean litter boxes and tidy up, making sure pet hair, etc. is cleaned up. I get the mail and take out trash. I play/cuddle with the cats and exercise/play/cuddle with the dogs. I love to walk so I never get enough of walking dogs. I take extra precautions if dogs are anxious when I have to leave for a while, i.e., leave music or TV playing or do something special with the dogs before I leave. The dogs usually sleep in the bed with me and we become great friends.
About: I have cared for several pets in my lifetime with several years of experience. I love animals sometimes more than people, but I genuinely treat them the way that I would treat my own and want nothing more than a comfortable experience with you and your fur babies. I work full-time, but I get off work at 4:30 every single day and am free every single evening and the weekends. I’m free as well as long as I have a schedule set and place I will treat and care for your pet just as I would my own. I will take care of things and do things as you ask. I love animals and I treat peoples things with love and respect.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.
About: My life has been surrounded by animals, there was hardly ever a time when there was less than 2 dogs and a cat under our roof. Friends often had lots of pets as well so it was odd to not be around animals. I’ve helped with critters from stray cats, to foster dogs to gerbils. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have a very open schedule. My hours and days available are flexible and unlimited. I am not offering in home services at this time. I am very reliable and have taken care of my own pets as well as friends & family members.
About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.
“My dog can be shy and skittish when meeting new people and walking, so I was nervous to hire a dog walker. Nikima has done a fantastic job and I am so satisfied. I will continue to hire her.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have even trained a few of my own dogs. I’d be so happy to care for yours and give them lots of love. I am a stay at home mom so I have an open and flexible daily schedule, I enjoy early morning walks. I am also open for boarding on weekday or weekends. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space in my home for pets to feel comfortable. My cat can be kept separate if needed. I’m also available for house sitting if that’s preferred.

“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
“They were so welcoming to my bully he didn’t even say goodbye and walked right in their house….geez thanks man! He was still excited to see me thankfully but that is the kind of care you can expect from them. They sent me updates regularly and are a very friendly couple. They are certainly people I would trust using again and plan to! Thanks for taking care of him so well!”
“My doggie had his first vacation with Bre and her pack and we were thoroughly pleased. She sends pictures and gives great feedback so you know what’s going on with your pup! We’ll definitely visit again ?”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Maribel was an incredible sitter for my dog, Gumbeaux. She was incredibly responsive, sent daily updates with pictures and was very willing to work with my schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing boarding for their dog.”
“They were great. Sent pics while keeping me updated and addressed any concern I might have had. Once I returned home they offered bring them home to me, which I was so grateful for. After a long trip it was one less thing I had to do. Will definitely keep using you two as my regular sitters. Thanks Suzanne and Ryan!”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
About: Hi all! My name is Darcy. I grew up around animals of all types, temperaments and sizes. I have always had an affinity and love for all animals. I have my bachelors degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University. My passion and compassion in life has always been animals, especially dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, all of their quirks and what makes them happy. My dogs are my babies so I know how important your babies are to you, and I always treat, love, and respect every animal I meet like they were my own babies! I would consider myself responsible, considerate, honest, hardworking, and compassionate. I would love to love on, walk and play with your pet(s) for you while you’re out!
“Andrea was fantastic!! She was so friendly and welcoming at drop off-our dog, Lily, went right on into her home without hesitation and she is typically a very nervous dog in new settings. She sent picture updates almost daily which we loved! I would recommend her and would definitely use her again!”
“Koya's experience at Christopher's was excellent, he gave me peace of mind with constant updates about her. He's very kind and caring. I will definitely use his service when available. Extremely recommended. Thanks Christopher!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Jane! She took exceptional care of Kylie, kept in touch with us throughout Kylie's stay by sending pictures and videos AND she even celebrated Kylie's birthday with special treats in our absence. Jane, you are a Godsend! We hope you allow Kylie to stay with you again!”
“Kaitlyn was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my pup, Ava! She sent me daily photo updates—including some that looked professionally shot—which truly put my mind at ease while I was away. I especially appreciated how she kept me informed about Ava’s activity levels and moods throughout the stay. It’s clear that Kaitlyn really took the time to get to know Ava and make her feel comfortable and loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for loving care for their furry family member! 🐾💛”

“Samantha sent many pictures! Bella seemed to really enjoy staying here to play with her other dogs! She came home calm, tired and no anxiety. We would definitely use her and her family again!”
