Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cumberland

“Sarah was just great with our cockapoo and super nice, too. We sure appreciated that she could help us out boarding Winnie on a quick and unexpected short visit out of town. We would recommend her, but if you're reading this, don't take all of her open calendar spots because we'd love to use her again!!”

Rhonda K.

“This was our Sophie’s first overnight stay at a boarding home (Sophie is 9 months old). I love that she was exposed to a farm home setting with other dogs, cats, cows, and a family that included kids for her to play with. Socialization was important to us, and I am happy to say that Sophie came home tired and happy, and I am sure will be ready to visit Katie and her family again in the near future. Thank you, Katie, for making this a positive experience for our pup.”

“Maggie is an older girl and Michelle takes such good care of her. Maggie was quiet, relaxed and having a good time when I picked her up. Michelle is a very knowledgable person and I can't recommend her enough!”

Charlene T.

“We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!”

“Great experience. Felt like my pup became part of their family for her boarded stay! Would definitely book again.”

“Awesome sitter....Daisy came home exhausted from playing and slept til it was dinner time. Alyssa thanks for watching her so we could tend to VA and military appointments in the cities. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter. Thanks Donna, Bob, and Daisy 🐾”

“Arranging a stay with Sherry for our doggie was easy and flexible. We truly appreciate all the time and care she gave Loki, just like he was accustomed to at home. We had continuous updates via text daily, he went on many walks, played with toys...Sherry is the best, highly recommended!”

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if you're looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if you're confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and Observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an itch to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass our test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is now almost 5 yrs old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or Meet and. Greet style. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. I’ll have my daughter (almost driving age) with me on a 50/50 schedule as well as I have a service dog for myself. We can talk about this more should we get to that point! Depending on your comfort level, I’ll sometimes work with my girlfriend (also a sitter on Rover) to help complete gigs as well. She will occasionally have her two boys (16 & 14) with her as well. I understand this can be “a lot” so we’d all be more than willing to meet up beforehand to make sure everything would jive and fit together! How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“Devon was so great with our new kitten!! We were worried because we had just gotten Lulu a few weeks earlier and we weren't sure how he would do. Devon did absolutely amazing and put my worries away in no time, so I was able to enjoy our grandson's graduation in NC. Choose Devon and you'll be very happy with her abilities!!! Can't thank her enough!!!”

About: I’m experienced in senior and medical care, multiple animal care, providing a fun time, and so much more. I have two of my own dogs and a couple cats that are all spoiled. I would love to spoil yours! Monday-Friday I am available to care for animals throughout the whole day. Animals play a huge role in my everyday life and I would enjoy caring for yours. Either in my home or a clients home the animals needs come first. A schedule is set and maintained the entire duration of the stay to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my own home they are kept separate from my resident pets to minimize stress on all animals. Although if owner is comfortable all resident animals are very friendly.

“Sorche was very cordial and professional as well as great with my pets. Thank you.”

“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”

About: Between the two of us, my wife and I have over 50 years of combined experience caring for animals. We both grew up in homes filled with pets — dogs, cats, and a few other critters — and from a young age, it was our responsibility to feed, train, walk, and care for them every day. Now, as a married couple of six years, we share our home with two happy, healthy dogs who are a huge part of our family. We understand what it takes to keep pets safe, comfortable, and loved — whether that means daily walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Your pets will be treated like part of our family — with the same love, attention, and care we give our own. ❤️ We are home 7 days a week all the time (except for errands here and there). Dogs are able to go out whenever they need either to go potty and burn some energy We offer a safe, loving home where every pet is treated like family. Outdoor time is always supervised on leash, and crate care is available if preferred.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned and cared for four dogs since I was young. I understand how important pets are to families and treat every dog with patience, attention, and kindness. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part time, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, giving your dog plenty of playtime, cuddles, and praise while ensuring consistent care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, supervised environment, follow all instructions carefully, and give your pet love, attention, and reliable care at all times.

About: My husband and I are a team of active, educated individuals who love all types of dogs! My husband is a high school math teacher and I am a high school counselor. Working from home during summer has allowed us plenty of time to spend with our dog. We have a 5 year old Yellow Lab who still has the energy of a puppy! We keep up with all routine vet visits and our dog is caught up on all vaccinations including Bordetella (kennel cough). My husband and I live in town but have a large backyard to accommodate play time. We allow our dog on furniture and in our bed a night time..dogs don’t get the long, full life that is humans get, so we like to let him live it as a spoiled pup! We will love your dog like our own!

“This was my first time having to get my boys a sitter, but I was really glad to have found Michelle! They were immediately comfortable upon arrival and pick up and drop off were very easy. It was such wonderful being able to not have to stress about they’re comfort and safety while I was away. Thank you Michelle!”

About: My entire life I have been a major animal lover. I don't believe for one second we hadn't had a dog or cat growing up and that's how I liked it! In my free time, I go for walks with my dog and we frequent dog parks! We limit time inside if possible. I love watching dogs run free in a yard/park of some kind. My love for dogs is strong no matter what size, shape, gender, or breed. You can count on me to fulfill your pups’ every need. I am their friend and caretaker. Thank you for taking time to read my profile! I hope to hear from you soon! I am a small business owner and make my own schedule. However, there are days that are slower than others so I have breaks where I can pop out of work if I need to. I have nice walking paths near me, I visit the dog parks, and have a two small and medium size friendly dogs to keep your babies company! I shower any and every animal with love any chance that I get!
