“Maggie - my 8 yr old Labrador pet therapy dog - had a great time. Got walked, had a few other dogs to socialize with. Julia did an excellent job - we rebooked for a longer stay.”


“Derek is beyond fabulous. After the first day for my two dogs with him they jumped into the car when I said we would go see Derek. You can sense his kindness and love for dogs the minute you meet. We will be using him consistently going forward and he is 5star plus!!”

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”


“Gabrielle was wonderful with Sunnie! She was available last minute and we really appreciate that! Sunnie seemed very comfortable with her and she was well cared for. We will definitely leave Sunnie with Gabrielle again. She updated us and provided photos during Sunnie’s stay :)”


“Benny loved his time with Amy and he was exhausted on the ride back to Charlotte! I really appreciated the pictures as well - Benny seemed very comfortable and loved in Amy’s home. His energy levels are high at times, but she clearly handled it well. We’ll be back when in Wilmington!”


“What a fabulous experience this was I could not be more happy. I had never left my little one before. This wasn’t my first time and I can tell she had an awesome experience. I did not wanna leave her alone because we were out of town. It would have to leave her alone all day long this way we only had to leave her for three hours Usually when I come back she’s shaking and crying and very sad if I were to leave her alone. When I came to pick her up from Julie she was happy and playful and wonderful. The care she received was excellent. Julie ‘s home was clean and inviting and safe for my baby. I will recommend her to everyone. We are going out of town for a week and I was gonna take my baby with me and find Care out there, but I’ve decided I’m going to leave her with Julie because she could not be more capable of caring for puppies than anybody I’ve ever known Thank you, Julie for being so wonderful to my baby. Can’t wait to work with you again. I come once a week to see my son at college and now I have a little drop in for my baby.”

Brooklin L.
“I can’t say enough great things about Brooklin! She has been an absolute blessing for me and my husky. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly loves animals and knows exactly how to care for them. My husky can be a handful—high energy, strong-willed, and full of personality—but Brooklin handles her with total confidence, patience, and affection. She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and goes above and beyond just walking her. She feeds her, plays with her, gives her all the attention she craves, and even sends me updates and pictures, which I love. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands while I’m away. Brooklin has a calm, positive energy that my dog responds to immediately. She absolutely adores her, and honestly, I think she gets more excited to see her than she does me sometimes! If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Brooklin. She’s the best dog walker we’ve ever had, and we’re so lucky to have found her!”
