Our standard goldendoodle Teddy had the best time with James and his family. We needed somewhere for him to play while we spent a long vacation day away from our house, giving Teddy his own doggie vacation. He was worn out from playing with the other dogs and had a sleepy, relaxing day afterwards. Thank you!

Tia is awesome! My pup’s first overnight and day camp went great. She sent lots of cute pics and the sweetest little write-up of how his stay went. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy with her, especially after getting to meet the other dogs and seeing how calm and loving she was in her interactions with all of them. We are so grateful that our dog has a safe and nurturing place to socialize, play, and tire himself out! We will definitely be back and he can’t wait 😊

Dodger loved Michelle! She was fantastic at sending pictures and keeping me up-to-date. Lots of other doggy company for Dodger’s social interaction development. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her for the first time. Will definitely use her again!

Great Experience! While watching my puppy over the weekend they provided consistent updates the entire time. I really appreciated the regular photos and messages that gave a peace of mind knowing my puppy was doing well while I was away. My puppy also got a ton of playtime and attention!

Nancy took such good care of my 87 lb. baby while we were away. He's got a great thing going where he gets to sleep on a couch in front of a heater and that's him living his best life. I know he's being loved and well cared for when he's with her.

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!

About: I have been caring for my own animals since I was a child. Additionally, I have extensive animal care experience through working with family, friends, and other clients. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether caring for energetic puppies, adult dogs, or senior pets, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel at home. I understand the special needs of young puppies, including potty breaks, basic routine reinforcement, and plenty of supervised play. For senior dogs, I provide gentle care, patience, medication support (if needed), and a calm environment that helps them stay comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to treat every dog like family, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, affection, and care they deserve while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work and live at GTR Adventures, which is a side-by-side rental company in Bryson City, NC. I am here full time everyday so I can give your dog all the attention and care they could possibly need while also sending photo updates and more. I have a massive fenced in patio where the dogs can hang out, I also have a fenced in area in the backyard where they can go to the bathroom/play. If I am ever going inside my house I’ll bring the dogs in with me. I can easily take your dog for a walk whenever aswell.

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.

Megan is such a wonderful dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through and when we picked up Penny, Megan gave us feedback on the stay and how everything went. Penny was obviously comfortable with her and now I know we have a knowledgeable, trustworthy person we can count on to care for our dog when we are out of town.

Having Blue stay with Amanda was his first time ever spending a night without us! Amanda was extremely accommodating and so wonderful. She sent some pictures of Blue and her baby Cleo during his stay, and when we had our meet and greet I felt so at ease knowing Blue would be in good hands. It is so apparent that Amanda’s good vibes with animals made Blue’s stay a fun play date instead of a scary experience.
