Personalized care for your dog or cat - Walnut Cove
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Walnut Cove
“Pat was kind, caring, and took exceptional care of my senior dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving Lucy in her care. Will certainly use her again! Her assistant, Ryder, is a bonus, too, as he provides additional love!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say that Lutisa was phenomenal with my little Coco. She sent pictures and video and reassured me that my sweet and spicy little Coco would be just fine. I will book again with Lutisa if she will have my little Coco.”
“Angela and her family were very kind and accommodating to BabyGirl and I. She seems to have enjoyed her stay. I experienced some delays in travel and was able to modify the booking with ease. I would definitely book again.”
“I am very happy with the care my furry son received from Tulasi. It was my dog’s first time to be away from the family, but Tulasi’s love for animals and reliable communication made leaving my dog worry-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Brianna was amazing. So kind and patient with my one pup who is going blind and gets anxious. They clearly had a great time and they are very sensitive - I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Gabrielle is awesome!!! Our usual dog sitter was unavailable. We had to find a new dog sitter last minute. Very responsive and courteous! Definitely will use her again. Guapo loves her and Yonah!”
“Candice took such great care of my little Biscuit. Was initially hesitant since his previous Rover caregiver left the area but thanks to little Charlie, Biscuit found his new best friend and twin look alike which made his stay all the best. Thanks Candice!!!!!”
“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.”
“Jessica and her family were very pleasant to work with. Their house and approach felt responsible and safe for my dogs. I plan to use them again when I am in the area. Thanks!”
“Maribel is incredibly kind and treated our pup like she was her own. And Molly, her basset hound, made fast friends with our dog, who can be a little reactive when meeting new dogs. Maribel is an excellent communicator and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We look forward to having Maribel and Molly watch our dog again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jenna and Shane were super sweet. They sent tons of pics every day of my girl, who got to play outside with their dog. This is a big deal because my dog is normally apathetic towards other dogs, so to hear she was socializing meant a lot to me. They were communicative and friendly the whole time and were transparent and reassuring when I had questions. I'm definitely booking with them again if I need a sitter!”
“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!”
“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..”
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!
“Erica took wonderful care of Cesar. He looked so happy in all his pictures. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely be using her again.”
“First time with Elizabeth. Pups seemed happy staying with her. One of them was even dealing with an infection and she was great taking care of him. Would be happy to have them stay with her again. Only wish she sent more frequent photos, but I am obsessed with my pups!”

Cat caregivers near you - Walnut Cove
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own cats (we’ve always had cats in our home since I was an infant) and grandparents’, friends’, and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with tiny baby kittens all the way up to a senior cat. I can clean a litter box like nobody’s business, and I’m comfortable trimming nails and administering meds if need be.
“Audrey took great care of our cat and sent daily updates! She did a wonderful job with our little guy and communicated really well about all things related to him. Will use again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“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 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’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).
“Breanna provided EXCELLENT care for my cat! She is really responsive and take pictures and describes in detail her visits! I will be hiring her again. I highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for family, friends and neighbors for 10 years. They have depended on me to feed, clean litter and give extra love and attention to their cats while they’ve been away.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Walnut Cove
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”
“Andrea kept my four month old pittie puppy for the day and took very good care of her! My baby nervous and not well socialized as she is still so young, but Andrea was very welcoming and put both my puppy and myself right at ease. I was very happy to receive lots of updates and pictures throughout the day also. Will definitely be a repeat client!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“Ginger had a great stay with Talia and Austin. This was her first time and she seemed to enjoy it. She came home happy...and tired. Talia said she did great during play time, nap time, and with her children. I was nervous about how she would do and almost cancelled. I'm so glad that I went ahead and took her. I'm looking forward to taking her back soon.”
“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!”
“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.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. My family had a dog when I was growing up that I helped care for and I’ve loved taking care of pets ever since. I will treat your dog like they’re my own- with so much love, lots of playtime and belly rubs, walks, and snuggles if they like. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week/weekends so I will have time throughout the day to spend with and care for your pet. Your dog is welcome to come stay at my house if we think it’s a good fit. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a spacious yard that your dog can explore and run around. We live right outside of a nice walking neighborhood so if your pet likes to walk, walk we will! I have two friendly pups who love to play that will also be able to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if that’s part of their routine.
About: I have been a dog owner since before I could walk, and have always seen my dogs as members of my family. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have also raised several litters of AKC registered Golden Retrievers, so I truly know how to care for every aspect of a dog. I have the knowledge and experience to care for any breed - from large & high energy to small & anxious… I am confident caring for all. I am very educated in breed specific traits and understand that every breed comes with specific needs. I am also willing to accommodate most unique needs you may have; whether your dog needs to be fed away from any other dogs/people, needs daily medication or even if you need me to reinforce a strict training regimen while they are in my care. I am confident in my ability to meet any level of care required. So whether you’re looking for an easygoing home with kids to snuggle your family dog while they’re away from you, or a knowledgable caretaker who knows the importance of stability and regimens; we surely will be the perfect fit! I am a stay-at-home mom so I am able to be present 24/7 to ensure total and diligent care for any animal in my home. We have a large cozy house with plenty of space to run around and play! There’s a large fenced in backyard to run around in! Our dog has free range of the house, but we have the ability to keep dogs and children completely separate when needed (via baby gates) and are willing to enforce any home rules to ensure stability. I have 3 well behaved children who are adequately trained on appropriate ways to interact with animals. I also have an adorable mini goldendoodle named Arlo who just might be the most lazy & well mannered doodle out there! I was a school nurse before becoming a stay at home mom and my husband is a doctor, so we have a very medically trained and safe household!
“Paisley and her family were wonderful with Athena and very flexible with my work schedule. Super clean environment and I could see that Athena was very comfortable there. She was excited to go back the 2nd day, which is always reassuring. Will definitely hire again if the need arises!! Thank you!”

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 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: 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've taken care of dogs/pets my whole life, my passion only grew larger for them as I grew older. They are truly the heart of the world and they give us the motivation to keep pushing forward. Not only do I have personal experience caring and medicating animals, but I also have experience dealing with aggressive dogs as well as previous experience working in a kennel/doggy-daycare where I cared for, walked, and medicating cats and dogs in my daily routine. I am also going to NC State currently, going to be a junior in the fall, majoring in animal science which has provided me with so much knowledge on animals and how to best care for them, ranging many species but specializing in companion animals. I'm currently out of college for summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members and make sure they get the best experience possible while you're away. Personally, I have 2 cats and share 2 more and a dog with a disability with my mom so for me, pet care is a normal daily routine and therefore other forms of pet care are no hassle to add on and I'd love to help out and make sure you and your pet are getting what's best for the both of you! Having companion animals of my own, I know how worrisome it can become when you leave your door open to a stranger, especially with your furry friend's life at hand. Just know I would never treat an animal, person, or home with any type of disrespect nor would I ever imagine doing so. I treat others' things as my own and I'd say I keep things pretty organized and clean. Also, it is important to know that I am not only an animal enthusiast but I am also an animal welfare enthusiast and would do anything in my power to keep your furry friend safe under my watch.
“Had to find a sitter at the last minute because my other one cancelled on me thee night before I was going to be leaving out of town. I was honestly freaking out because I did not think I would be able to find one with so little time left. But Zahara immediately responded and agreed to care of Ollie during those days. She was very sweet and even brought my mail inside for me and left it on the counter. I will be recommending her to all of my family and friends. I will be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you”
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!”
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’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.
“My dog, Dougray, adores Tricia. Tricia is attentive to Dougray’s needs; he’s always happy and excited to see her when she takes him out for his morning walk. Tricia is prompt at responding to requests and is great at communicating when it comes to scheduling Dougray’s walks. I cannot recommend Tricia enough!”

I am able to understand stressors for a dog and read their body language. If they like music or prefer to be outside I will be right there with them!
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 bring hands‑on, compassionate experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler pace. My approach is always the same: treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals having to commit myself to taking care of them. i’m comfortable around all dogs and am willing to learn and adapt to take care of your dogs specific needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk them, I will dedicate my time to loving your dog. I would love to be able to take them to a dog park where they can interact with other dogs while you’re away. I have a French bulldog of my own who is full of energy and curiosity. create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their normal routines as closely as possible—regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. I make sure they get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of one‑on‑one attention so they never feel lonely or stressed.
“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 am a dog lover who will treat your pets as my own. I have senior pet care experience. I also have experience giving medications including insulin shots. I am currently retired and home most of the day. I walk your dogs as requested or walk around my fenced in yard. I play with the dogs throughout the day and give snacks. I have a fenced in yard, friendly dogs to keep yours company, and no stairs. I keep temporary fences at both entrances to ensure extra safety.

About: Hello! I’m an animal science major at North Carolina State University. I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years now for friends and family. I worked at Willow Run Dog Boarding for 4 years before they sold it. I’ve also helped out long-term for a family who worked night shifts for a year and I foster dogs through Saving Grace while I’m at school! I’m a college student home for the summer, and I'm currently looking for a part-time job. I’m free all day everyday 🤗 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes. At home, we have a fenced-in yard and one husky, but I prefer caring for pets through home visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to help with small tasks around the house like watering plants, bringing in mail, or keeping things tidy while you’re away. I enjoy being active and outdoors, while also making sure pets stay safe and comfortable in the heat.

“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”
“Angela and her family were very kind and accommodating to BabyGirl and I. She seems to have enjoyed her stay. I experienced some delays in travel and was able to modify the booking with ease. I would definitely book again.”
“I am very happy with the care my furry son received from Tulasi. It was my dog’s first time to be away from the family, but Tulasi’s love for animals and reliable communication made leaving my dog worry-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Brianna was amazing. So kind and patient with my one pup who is going blind and gets anxious. They clearly had a great time and they are very sensitive - I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Jessica and her family were very pleasant to work with. Their house and approach felt responsible and safe for my dogs. I plan to use them again when I am in the area. Thanks!”
“Maribel is incredibly kind and treated our pup like she was her own. And Molly, her basset hound, made fast friends with our dog, who can be a little reactive when meeting new dogs. Maribel is an excellent communicator and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We look forward to having Maribel and Molly watch our dog again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jenna and Shane were super sweet. They sent tons of pics every day of my girl, who got to play outside with their dog. This is a big deal because my dog is normally apathetic towards other dogs, so to hear she was socializing meant a lot to me. They were communicative and friendly the whole time and were transparent and reassuring when I had questions. I'm definitely booking with them again if I need a sitter!”
“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!”
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!
“Erica took wonderful care of Cesar. He looked so happy in all his pictures. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Samantha and Tim are so great to work with! We are relieved that we have such a reliable place to send our dog. We know he’s in great hands. They love and take care of him like he’s their own!”
“Christopher was incredible. I had a very last minute need to board for two days over a weekend and he was able to be extremely flexible for us. Had to drop her off late and then picked her up early due to my crazy work schedule and he was more than willing to accommodate. Will be brining my girl Zoey back to him again for sure.”
About: We are family of 4 and we LOVE dogs. Right now, I don't have any pets of my own and I enjoy so much our visitors. They bring so MUCH LOVE when visiting me! My family loves it too. I'm a part time mom and I'm most of the time at home, afternoon and evenings. It's easy for me to love all dogs since my 2 children also enjoy them. At our house, the pet is part of our family. I follow ALL directions from the owner, walk, feeding and caring for them. I play with dogs in our backyard and have a great time with our visitors.
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Paisley was great! Very communicative and easy to deal with. Gave us great updates while we were away and made coordinating pickup and drop off very easy. Definitely will hire her again!”
“We had to board Pickle for 2 weeks for an extended trip and were really worried about him due to a recent bad experience. But Jared and Sharon reassured us they would treat Pickle as their own and they totally delivered on their promise. Pickle seemed really happy while he was with them and they provided regular updates and photos throughout. Thanks very much for welcoming Pickle and giving him a home away from home, much appreciated!”
“Our pupper had a great time with Caitlyn! From our meet and greet, to drop off and stay, I felt Caitlyn loved our pupper like one of her own. We will definitely use Caitlyn again!”
