“My experience with Amanda was outstanding! I was nervous about leaving my small older dog with someone new but the entire experience went very well. Amanda asked a lot of questions about him beforehand and kept in touch with pictures or information about how he was each day. I will definitely feel comfortable using Amanda each time we go away and hope she will be available.”

About: I offer an alternative to typical doggie day care and boring boarding. I pack hike daily in the hills of western North Carolina with 5-10 dogs. I have found that structured exercise with a pack of friends is the best way we can fulfill our dogs needs. I live Every Day for the Dogs! I run a Pack Camp for pups and also offer boarding services. Our Pack Campers hike the hills daily and enjoy time with their friends in a structured environment. I offer boarding services all year. Pups who board with us also get to attend our Pack Camp and hike with a group of 5-10 dogs on leash. I have a fenced yard on a beautiful private property. I care for your four legged family member as if they are my own. I currently have five friendly dogs who love company. I post photos of your pup on my Instagram and Facebook accounts so you can follow your pup as we adventure in the hills of western North Carolina. Let your pup live the good life with our pack!

About: As a devoted pet owner myself, with a sweet Havanese dog at home, I truly understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I know pets aren’t just animals—they’re cherished companions who deserve love, patience, and attention. My experience as a pet owner means I’m familiar with their unique needs, from daily walks and playtime to cuddles and care. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles, special feeding schedules, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! As a dedicated teacher, my schedule naturally complements pet care, giving me ample availability during evenings, weekends, and holidays to focus on your pet’s needs. My weekdays allow me to provide care after school hours, whether that means evening walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship. Weekends and holidays give me even more flexibility to spend quality time with your pets, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared-for while you’re away. Additionally, my time off during school breaks allows me to accommodate longer-term pet-sitting needs, making me a dependable option year-round. Caring for animals fits perfectly into my routine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing the attention, affection, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, I provide plenty of space for play, cozy spots for rest, and a pet-friendly atmosphere where animals feel welcome and at ease. I stick closely to their routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime, to ensure consistency and comfort. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their familiar surroundings and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, medications, or favorite toys—and provide personalized care to make them feel secure. I’m attentive to details like cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water bowls, and keeping their living areas tidy. I also make sure to give pets plenty of love and attention, from belly rubs and snuggles to walks and interactive play. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to make pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind!


12. Donna T.

“Donna is the best doggie babysitter!! She offers a loving and playful home while you’re away. Darby was content and enjoyed playing with her dog. We will use Donna again while traveling through the area. Thank you so much!”


13. Brinkley F.

“We had to leave town, last minute, for a funeral. We didn’t realize what an amazing dog sitter we were winding up with. Brinkley does grooming, dogsitting and training and it really showed when we went to pick the pups up. They were happy and had their fair share of cuddles. She has 3 roommates, all of which themselves work with animals. We even negotiated her bathing my fur babies, which she had time for since it was in between semesters for her. If you have the opportunity, pick Brinkley to trust with your pets! You won’t be disappointed.”


14. Carrie G.

“Carrie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and was great with communication! We received photos everyday. She and her family treated our pup like part of their family and she came home happy & healthy! We highly recommend Carrie and will definitely book with her again!”


15. Zach M.

“Zach has a loving dog flink. Our god and flink had a wonderful time. Zach was very prompt in replying and sending pictures, we felt safe with zach as our sitter”


16. Danielle W.


“Just what Izzy needed. Danielle is a pro and understands little dogs. She kept me assured that Izzy had not succumbed to a nervous breakdown. When I picked Izzy up, she looked wistfully at Danielle as we departed. Apparently, they had a very good time.”




17. Ralph B.
“I wanted to take some time to highly recommend Ralph Branch as a trusted dog walker. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ralph for 8 years and he has become a great and trusted friend. I have two dogs, a 75 lb. Red Heeler/Pittie mix named Coyote, and a 60 lb. Blue Heeler Mix named Cassidy. My dogs are my children, and I won’t just trust them with anyone so I greatly value Ralph’s presence in my pups’ lives. Coyote is an easygoing dog that loves everyone, but Cassidy is very shy and picky with who she likes and trusts. Incredibly, Cassidy warmed up to Ralph soon after meeting him and they connected, which immediately won mine and my husband’s trust. Ralph is reliable, accommodating, and punctual and above all, my dogs’ happiness and well-being are always top priority for Ralph. Coyote and Cassidy love Ralph and it’s apparent in their excitement every time they see him. Ralph has now become our full-time dog walker as well as the person we can rely on to watch our pups for overnight trips. Ralph is an invaluable asset to our family because we can trust him to take full care of and consideration of all our dog’s needs.”


18. Amanda U.

“Amanda was great! She took my dog in last minute and provided lots of pics to worry my crazy dog mom mind. She does have kids, but they were sweet to my pup.”


19. Karmyn M.

“We are so grateful for Karmyn’s care of our two kitties. She sent frequent updates and photos. They clearly felt comfortable and loved in her home, we couldn’t be happier to have connected with her. Thank you Karmyn! 🙏🏽💕”


20. Leandra C.
“Leandra is great with our dog! She's cuddles and plays with her and she loves her like she's her own dog. She is reliable, thoughtful and spends quality time with our pets.”
