What recent reviews say

Customers consistently praise named staff members-Kristine, Jenny, Rebecca, Miranda, Celeste, Rachel, Michele, Audrey, Elizabeth, and others-who send daily photos and notes during stays or walks. The experience feels personal: families report dogs treating sitters as family, same-day emergency availability, and a user-friendly app for scheduling and payment. Two negative reviews cite billing disputes and a disconnect between advertised services and actual execution, though these are vastly outnumbered by accounts of genuine care and responsiveness.

The business operates in the Triangle area (Apex, Cary, Morrisville, North Raleigh, and beyond) with services spanning dog walking, overnight boarding in sitters' homes, pet sitting, and puppy care. Reviewers repeatedly note the pre-visit meet-and-greet, detailed instructions followed by staff, and what several call "white-glove" attention. The drawback: one customer felt left in the dark about wait times between visits, and another disputed charges for services not rendered with no recourse.

Praised for
  • attentive caregivers by name
  • daily photos and updates
  • flexible scheduling and responsiveness
  • treats dogs like family
  • peace of mind from communication
Watch-outs
