Dog Sitters in Fulp, NC

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting, LLC last year. We have been able to continue our wonderful relationship, Cooper is so accommodating, we feel absolutely blessed. We have a 15y cocker spaniel Libby, Cooper is so patient with her many ever changing needs. Cooper is trustworthy and dependable. We can fully recommend this company.

Highly recommend Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting, LLC if you are going out of town or just need daily help with your furry friends! Cooper is diligent about getting to know each pet and providing just the right amount of support. It's so great to have someone you can trust and rely on whether it's an overnight or an extended trip.

In short, Cooper and Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting absolutely rock! Best pet sitting service I have ever used! Paws down! Read on for the many, many reasons I feel thus. As are many pet parents, I’m reluctant to leave my fur babies. In fact, I tend to travel with my cats rather than leave them in another’s care. Recently, I had opportunity to visit Europe for a month, but it meant flying solo sans cats. I nearly passed on the trip because one of my cats requires daily medication, another is terrified of strangers, and the third is prone to anxiety; I didn’t think I’d find a pet sitter with whom I’d be comfortable caring for them for a month. I called around and had some less-than-encouraging conversations with area sitters (few wanted or could accommodate such a lengthy commitment, others weren’t comfortable giving medications, and some just didn’t vibe). I was on the verge of cancelling the trip when I found Lucy’s Friends. From the start, Cooper was professional, agreeable, friendly, and conveyed a clear passion for animals (he volunteers at animal rescues and helps care for feral cat colonies on the island). Cooper came to meet the cats and learn their routine. He also wanted to ensure that he’d be a good fit for the job, which I appreciated (some pets and people just don’t click and Cooper needed to know the cats would be cool with him). He diligently assessed the situation, the cats, and their needs before committing. I was very happy to see that money wasn’t Cooper’s primary motivation (he genuinely wanted what was best for the cats and would have declined the job had he not been absolutely certain he could deliver). During that first meeting, he also administered medication to my special needs kitty thereby assuring me that he could handle the task (his technique is as good as, if not better, than that of many vet techs I’ve seen in action). His warm disposition and obvious love for animals (not to mention the magic he worked with a syringe) sold me! I knew my babies would be in good hands. Every day of my month-long trip, he texted me updates, photos, and videos. When it seemed as if the kitties were especially anxious and missing me, he bought a pheromone dispenser for them! He even brought special toys, along with catnip, to cheer them up. He could have just come by, done the bare minimum, and left (how would I have known, after all?), but he took a genuine interest in their well-being. In my view, Cooper went above and beyond. I could not be more pleased with Cooper and Lucy’s Friends. I highly recommend him and his company! So long as I live on HHI, I won’t consider anyone else when it comes to caring for my fur babies. In sum, if you need a pet sitter, Cooper’s your man! He gets the “crazy-cat lady seal of approval” from me, as well as glowing endorsements from Kush, Bugsy, and Cary Grant!

Lucy's Pet Sitting is fantastic. We have used Cooper and Jen for over a decade. They not only take wonderful care of our cats but also our home. Our cats love them! Their service gives us such piece of mind knowing they come every day to make sure everything is in order. They make traveling a lot less stressful. We highly recommend them!

They've always been wonderful! When I'm out of town, Wolfgang goes to the house twice per day to feed and play with my three cats. They love him (probably because when they see him it means food!) and I feel good knowing they're being taken care of. He is also very responsive if I have a question or want a quick update about them while I'm out of town. I definitely recommend this company! (Picture of my three boys below!)

Cooper and staff are great. They pay close attention to each of my cats and my cats love them. I'm glad I can go on vacation and not worry about my cats. Lucy's Friends is highly recommended.

We recently used Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting services. We can't thank enough Wolfgang. He took care of our cat Anakin. We got texts and pictures after every visit. April is amazing. She organized and controlled everything, dates, visits, all details. These people are true professionals. They don’t just do the job, they care for our pets. I highly recommend Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting. Kate

Micah and his team are incredible, we recently moved to HHI from New England and finding a new pet sitter is not only challenging, but it is emotional because you want your fur babies in safe, nurturing hands. When I first contacted Micah by phone we had a wonderful conversation and I was immediately at ease, we set up a meeting for him to meet our pets to make sure everyone was comfortable with each other. All of our pets, 2 cats and 2 dogs, were immediately drawn to him, and we know animals are the best judge of human character. Even our 17 year old grumpy "I don't like people" cat walked right up to him. We've since used Lucy's on several occasions including trips abroad. And recently had a situation where we needed to call at 8 pm at night to ask Micah to let the dogs out for last call at 10 pm because our return home was being delayed. He immediately assured us he would go to the house and check in on the pets, and if we were delayed until morning, would make sure they were taken care of. Lucy's is the best and gives us a lot of piece of mind that are pets are well cared for and loved while we are away.

We have been using Lucy's Friends for more than a decade. Cooper, and later joined by Wolfgang, have been great caretakers of two generations of cats and a few fish. In addition to pet care, they handle basic away-from-home management, rescuing stray front porch deliveries, weekly shifting of trash cans, and watering plants. I highly recommend them.

We love our sitters from Lucy’s Friends! When we travel, we always know our kitties are in great hands. Wolfgang and Cooper care for our pets as if they are their own. They have expertly handled pet medical emergencies and have won over even our most timid fur baby. We are so grateful to Lucy’s Friends!

Teresa & Absolute Pet Sitting are AMAZING! We have four fur babies who truly are like our children and we wouldn’t trust their care with anyone else. They absolutely LOVE Teresa and are always excited to see her. Would highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best care for their pets!

I have used Teresa for the last couple of years, and she is fabulous. She is a true lover of all types of animals, and she does a great job not only with my dogs and cat, but also with my small farm animals. Teresa is very reliable and reasonably priced for all that she offers. Highly recommend!

When we travel Teresa watches my cat Monkey and dog Camden. She has been doing it for quite awhile! She is awesome!! She is available all the time!! She does everything ask of her and beyond. She sends me cute pictures every time!! I would highly recommend her!!

The owner, Teresa Thompson, is wonderful with our dogs, but she also will do visits for cats and bunnies in addition to dogs. She is kind, competent, and reliable. She is reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this business.

It was difficult to find a place that felt comfortable for my rescue dog when I visited Winston Salem. Amber was very welcoming to Daisy and me. She understands rescue dogs. Daisy had a positive experience, I think. She came home with improved socialization skills with other dogs. I really appreciate that. Thanks for what you did for Daisy. I'll use Winston Salem Dog Care again for Daisy when we visit.

What a God send to me! Winston- Salem dog care treats my Great Dane (Zen) like family. As a traveler ( contract medical worker) I work long hours and need my boy to get out. I’ve had to use Rover and Wag in the past and sometimes it was good other times NOT. I never worry about my boy now because Marie and her staff take such excellent care of him. I highly recommend them.

Have to share how wonderful Winston-Salem Dog (and cat) Care is! Have 1 pup and 2 cats, all inside babies. The pup came from a hoarding situation, doesn't like other dogs, and won't go #2 outside, so boarding is a challenge. Home visits are the solution! I had them come twice a day for my pup, and he couldn't have been happier! The picture attached shows exactly how much he loved all the attention he got. The cats are shy, but they even came out for the sitters, which is quite the endorsement. My house was in better shape than when I left, everyone was happy, well fed and unstressed. I've already rebooked them!

Winston-Salem Dog care is the best! They take such good care of our fur babies at the facility and in-home care. They go above and beyond every time our dogs stay with them! I also love receiving pictures each day!

My eldest dog just turned 12. I’ve never been fortunate to have a work from home job so I’ve utilized many dog daycares & boarding. Winston Salem Dog care is so far above and beyond the best we’ve ever been to. And even that doesn’t do Justin & Marie and their team justice! They are the second family my, and all dogs, need and set the bar for dog care! On site is serene and a perfect environment! We additionally utilize the in home pet visits for our cat. They collect the mail or a random Sam’s club package that I profusely apologize for not being able to pin point the delivery to the days we’re home for without hesitation or worry! We are truckers that travel weekly and our return day isn’t always easily scheduled on our end. Weather or road work can collapse return times by hours or days. The team is responsive, flexible and always happy to assist! If I attempted to highlight all the ways WSDC has been flexible, patient, accommodating and understanding without ever a misstep in service I’d run google reviews out of storage space. I cannot explain just how immense the internal peace is of knowing your dogs are having the time of their lives with a plethora of other dogs and being loved on and taken care of while you can’t be there!

I normally do not leave reviews, unless someone has done something exceptional. WS Dog Care is an incredible team. In an emergency they helped me to take care of another’s dog- when every other boarding location and kennel was booked through the new year. Though my friend passed, they were supportive of me and what I needed the entire process. Can’t say enough how great a business this place is. If you give them your business, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again, WS Dog Care. Marie and Elizabeth were very helpful and accommodating.

Amazing dog care all around. I travel for work, and use them for both house visits, and boarding, and Marie, Justin and their staff have been beyond amazing. They have accommodated my crazy schedule on short notice, take the time to know and understand my dog’s personalities and needs. I get pictures and updates about visits consistently, my pups love it. They truly care about your pups and treat them as one of their own. Truly, 5 stars isn’t even close to what they truly deserve!

I had a family emergency a couple months ago and had to leave town indefinitely. I reached out to Justin the night before and asked to board my three fur babies. Justin took them in not knowing when I will be back. Cain, Abel and Lilith were well cared for and loved on. The staff's genuine love for dogs is evident, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The facilities are clean, and the daily updates they provide give me peace of mind. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets!

The staff is beyond friendly and knowledgeable. They also treat your baby like their own. I tend to have anxiety with leaving my precious cargo with others, but Amber ensured that I was at ease and all my questions and concerns were addressed. They offer an abundance of services and each one is thoughtful and Top Notch. If you are looking for a place for your four legged Family Member - Winston Salem Dog Care is the place for you.

We have been using WSDC for a couple of years and will not use anyone else to take care of our 4 fur babies. They are prompt, professional and love our pups like their own. The daily updates and pictures of our dogs in their app put us at ease and makes it easier to be away from home.

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my Pup to Beacon Pet Suites Resort, and the experience was overwhelmingly positive. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the clean, welcoming environment. The resort exudes professionalism, yet it still feels homey and comfortable, which put my mind at ease. Boarding and Daycare: The boarding facilities are spacious and designed with pets’ comfort in mind. My pup had plenty of room to move around, and I appreciated the luxury suites. It’s clear that the staff prioritize both cleanliness and safety, as the areas are well-maintained and secure. During daycare, pets have access to outdoor play areas where they can socialize and exercise under supervision, which I found to be an excellent way for my dog to stay active and engaged while I was away. Staff and Care: The staff at Beavon are knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient with the animals in their care. They made an effort to get to know my dog’s personality and needs, which reassured me that she was in good hands. I received regular updates on her behavior and activities, and the open communication really set this place apart from other facilities I’ve used in the past. Grooming Services: I also took advantage of their grooming services, and I was thrilled with the results. My girl came out looking fresh and happy, and the groomer clearly paid attention to detail. The fact that grooming can be conveniently added to a stay or daycare package was a nice bonus. Overall Experience: Beacon Suites Pet Resort delivers an exceptional experience for both pets and their owners. The facility’s attention to detail, friendly staff, and wide array of services make it stand out in the world of pet care. Whether you’re going on a short trip or looking for a regular daycare spot, I highly recommend Pet Suites and Resort for a worry-free and fun experience for your fur baby . The resort is a perfect mix of high-quality care and thoughtful amenities that pet owners appreciate.

So profesional and accommodating. We got married last year and they brought our babies to the mansion all dressed up & smelling good. They were so patient with our date change, accommodations and anything we asked for. The staff, assistant manager and owner are so nice and professional. I trusted them with our babies and I was able to relax for the night knowing they are well taken care of. We highly recommend Beacon Pet Resort.

BEWARE...Only gave a one star for the first time my pup stayed with them. They went above and beyond on the first stay. They understood upfront that she had PTSD from another facility and did have trust issues from being kept in a cage for two days and food throwed at her. I put her in her suite and she stayed a week. Beacon Suites kept me informed of her stay and i did not worry that she was in good hands. The second time I dropped her off she did not bark and walked right in. I handed her to the young girl and walked out the door. She knew I was leaving her and she kept jumping up on the door to leave. I got to the car and one came out and said she lunged and tried to bite the young girl. They could not keep her. As I entered the facility to get her she ran out the door and I barely got ahold of her leash or my dog would have been gone. She was just scared and knew that I was leaving her. They never gave her a chance. She is a Big German Shephard and only 17 months old at 80 pounds and most people are scared of her and her size. Dogs are smart and can sense it. They told me to get a trainer. When I called a month later to see if I could bring her back and try again to see if she would warm up to them and was told she is no longer welcome there. WOW!!! Very disappointed in this facility and would never recommend them ever again to anyone.

Beacon suites is a high end pet care facility that does a phenomenal job with implicit care for my elderly little man. He’s on a fairly strict medicinal regimen and they kept him for two weeks with no issues! They even have TV’s for them to watch! 🥰 They also have grooming services available. EMMA IS THE BEST, book early, they fill up quickly. Def worth the waiting list.

Beware!! I took my two dogs there and they had their names mixed up which caused them not to give the correct dog her medicine. Claimed my dog was agressive and did not let her out enough while she was there. My dog is 10 years old and has been to several kennels in her lifetime and has NEVER been told that she was aggressive!!!! They must have done something to scare her! I’m glad my dog was not allergic to the medication that they had given her!!! Could have been much worse! And the dog that needed the medication was without it for three days. I am just glad I did not go away longer!! Don’t go here!

I have used Beacon 3 times now. Just picked my German Shepard up this morning after his longest doggie vacation of 9 nights. He has always been a shy and nervous boy, but Beacon puts him at ease. During this stay he was able to try group play (they asked my permission first) and he did good. I love that they post photos on FB so I can see how he is while I'm away. I really trust them with his care. Completely recommend for anyone's fur baby needs.

We travel a good distance to take our dogs to Beacon Suites. Our dogs love going, and I feel they’re treated with love and care while there, but that said, the staff seems very discombobulated as of recent. We’ve been using their services for roughly two years, but the past couple times when following up on requested dates, employees have responded in a confused manner as if they’re completely oblivious to previous communications/bookings/waitlists/etc. I wish they’d become more organized because it’s definitely stressful to loyal customers trying to ensure care for their animals. Overall, we do trust them, and find the extra drive worth it. A couple other notes: • Pay attention to their hours (before noon for pick up, after 3 for drop off). • They also have pretty high fees for using a credit card. It’s not a huge deal, but we always pay cash because of this.

Emma does a fantastic job with our very large doodle, Houston, no matter if it is just a bath or a full groom. He loves going to visit her. She has earned his trust, and he gets excited when we pull in!

Peace of mind for my pups. We love this place. We recently lost our older furbaby right before a trip out of town so our Boston spent her first time alone. We hated to leave her but the staff was so helpful catering to her needs. Absolutely recommend

Our dog gets groomed here only. We have not used the boarding facilities yet. Very friendly staff.

One the most outstanding pet sitting service I have ever found. We have used them 3 times and recommend them to anyone. We have Rottweilers and they could not happier being kept at home. They have no problem with taking care of our Rotties. We use Hailey and she is wonderful. Kenny and Renee

"C", our cat sitter, was kind, efficient, thorough and interesting! I recommend this service and fully intend to use it again.

Jessica was awesome. She got close to my dog is very difficult to get close to as she was a rescue. She went above and beyond what I ever expected. I would highly recommend Hillsdale for any of your pet sitting needs

This was my first time using Hillsdale at Home Pet Sitting for my pets and I was very pleased with the experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for at home pet sitting. I will definitely be using them again.

I had a wonderful experience working with Ansley @ Hillsdale. Both dogs were happy when I came home and Ansley was quick to ask questions as well as timely with follow up to my questions

We have used them for pet sitting multiple times and are always extremely happy! Would 1000% recommend to anyone!

They are great to work with! They made it easy and no fuss to leave knowing my cat was in very capable professional hands!

I have had them come to my house 3 times to care for my aging cat. The care was exceptional!

So nice to know my pups were taken such good care of.

Great care from Ansley!

With short notice, Kim was able to fit our pet sitting needs into her schedule. She is very professional, personable and knowledgeable. We felt at ease leaving our kitties in her hands while we were gone. She made it possible for us to go away without stressing about the fur babies! There were detailed reports and pictures after every visit. She worked different methods to get one stubborn cat to take his medication. Plenty of play time was had after food, water, liter box, etc. Everything was done! Kim's services are well worth her rates. We will recommend her and use her services again.

Kim did a fantastic job with our furbabies, is trustworthy and kept us updated on their care as well as pictures and videos. I highly recommend her and will use her again should we need pet care in the future.

Kim was wonderful caregiver to our 2 dogs. She is dependable which put us at ease knowing someone was going to show up. She’s knowledgeable about pet behavior and provided a full report with each visit. We could enjoy being away knowing our pets were being cared for. We highly recommend Kim’s Backyard & Barnyard pet sitting if you need a pet sitter.

We are beyond happy with Kim’s services. And more important, Sunny adores her! She told us so! 😉😉 We love how Kim communicates with us, sends photos, and her app is so easy to use. We trust her explicitly. Sunny always seems to be so well taken care of, which is most important to us. Kim is, by far, the best pet sitter we have ever had. We all love her! 😘 Bea & Al Erdman

Kim has been taking care of our fur babies, both dogs and cats, for 5 years! We trust her completely and the peace of mind that we have when we are away from home is priceless. We appreciate the constant communication and the app she uses provides detailed reports of each visit. She also sends fun pictures and videos! We highly recommend Kim - she is the best!!

Kim has been fantastic. She cares deeply about the animals and is willing to be flexible and talk out how to make our time away easy for us and our animals. We get regular updates when she visits and we never have to worry while away.

Kim is absolutely fabulous. I loved the daily updates she provided along with the pictures and videos she would send. By the second day, our dogs were giving her huggers and kisses! She is the best and I will be using her again to watch our fur babies.

Recently moved to NC from out of state. We needed to hire a pet sitter for an upcoming trip, and of course it can be stressful to figure out who to hire based on a search on Google. Especially when you're new to an area and don't know many people yet. I settled on Kim based on her excellent reviews. There is a reason that Kim is highly recommended. I NEVER wondered if my cats were ok while we were gone. Not once. Kim sent us reports via an app called Time to Pet for every visit made to our home, including photos and what she did for them during the visit. The app is insanely easy to use and I really like that it's a one stop shop for booking, payment, communication, etc. She is a true professional and excellent at what she does. If you're currently looking for someone to take great care of your pets and home while on vacation, the search should end here. She truly is wonderful!

Why didn’t I find Kim earlier! She is thorough and takes very good care of our house and our babies!

If you are looking for a very reliable person to take care of your pets look no further. Kim is the absolute best. She really cares about what she does and the animals she cares for. She stays in touch with her community of people that use her pet sitting service. Honest, reliable and knows how important it is that pet parents feel very secure and happy the pet kiddos are cared for the best.

Was excited, and eager, to try this new doggy daycare. I’ve had several dogs prior to moving here who all regularly attended day care (multiple times per week), so I know what a good dog daycare is like, and let me say I was disappointed to say the least. Before taking your dogs here, I’d recommend looking at the online cameras periodically to see when dogs are actually let outside to play. They are supposed to have two 3-hour play times and I did not see dogs outside playing for a consecutive 3 hours x2. Additionally, my dog came home AMPED up. To provide perspective, he gets exhausted from ~20 minutes at the dog park, and had more energy than he has ever had at night following a day here. The real issue: We were provided images of our dog playing with other dogs. But upon watching the cameras intermittently, but frequently, all day, we never ONCE saw our dog outside and playing with other dogs. This means they took him out to “play” for images and returned him to who knows where, where cameras are not located. I cannot in good conscious recommend this daycare. It could’ve been a unique, one-off, negative experience, but that was not the gut feeling we had from dropping off and picking up our pup. It is also not the sole time I’ve heard this happening here (check Reddit and other sites for reviews). On another note, Winston-Salem needs a good dog daycare, if anyone is looking to open a business to fulfill a need.

The staff I spoke to was friendly and seemed to care about my dog. And I know that they put her in her deluxe suite because she did not do well in the regular suite so I appreciate that. I do wish that I had more updates and more information about how she played with others. It surprisingly seemed like she did not enjoy her playtime so smaller groups might be better for her, but that’s just my guess because no one told me one way or the other

Lucy Brackens loves Ruff Housing for daycare and boarding. The entire staff loves Lucy like their own! Daycare allows Lucy to exercise and spend time with other pups and an amazing staff. I highly recommend Ruff Housing and give them 10 stars!! (5 stars isn’t enough) Plus, I love the fact that Ruff Housing provides Webcams so owners can watch their pets. When I drop Ms. Lucy off in the mornings I know she will be well taken care of.

I can't speak more highly of Ruff Housing as a whole, especially the Witt Street location. My dogs, Ella and Wofford, run to the door every time we arrive. The staff greet them by name and remember the sweetest details about them. They come home WORN out after a hard day of playing with their friends!!!! 10/10 would reccommend.

I can’t speak highly enough of the staff at Witt St! My puppy has been going to Witt St for about 2 months and absolutely adores everyone there. Each time when I pick her up from daycare one of the staff members tells me funny stories about her that day or pics they took of her playing. It makes me feel so relieved that I am leaving my dog in the care of such attentive and caring people. I love love love every member of this staff and my puppy does too! 💕

The staff members at Ruff Housing genuinely love dogs. Since 2008 we have entrusted the care of four dogs to them. Their caring, thoughtful approaches to every scenario — from a 14-year-old senior who no longer wanted to play with other dogs to two young pups — has amazed us. Our only real issues have been with the online scheduling system and they worked hard to correct that.

We recently brought our dog Cooper to Witt Street for his evaluation before we board him in May. Cooper is 13 and I was a little anxious as to how he would respond. Everyone that we spoke to was so supportive and took their time answering all my questions. It really helped in setting my mind at ease and knew we made the right choice. When we picked him up he was happy, relaxed and wondering why he had to leave. 😊 He is going to have a blast in May and can’t wait to see the pictures they send. Thank you!

My silver lab, Remi, went for her doggy daycare meet/greet trial today and I can’t say enough about this place and the staff already. I can be that helicopter-high strung dog mom at times but the staff and facility made me feel so comfortable leaving her for the day knowing she would be well taken care of. I received a progress update call and the cutest report card with pictures from her visit. Remi looked so happy about her play day and that eases my mind for all of her upcoming visits while I’m at work. We both give this place a 10/10!

We love Caden at the Witt St location!! My dogs are now excited to be dropped off for their grooming, which hasn’t always been the case. Caden does a great job with the overall cut and face framing— but, more importantly, I always feel like my doggos are being loved and taken care of when they go to Caden because of the pictures I receive after their cut and the happy dogs I pick up 😊

I am so disappointed with my dogs stay at this facility and have major guilt for putting my dog in this place. It’s my first time ever boarding my dog in North Carolina so I looked into a TON of places before deciding on one. This place had so many good reviews that I was confident they would take good care of my dog. 1. They told us we would see him in the purple room on the cameras (I checked many many MANY times and never once saw him on any camera) 2. We could never get ahold of them to check up on our dog. You would not believe how many times it took us to get ahold of them. They tried to say they left a voicemail but they did not3. When we picked our dog up, he reeked of dog pee. Our dog mounts other dogs so he was kept in his own area. Considering my dog is potty trained, I assume they never took him out which caused him to pee in his area and lay in it (he was there for 5 days). I sincerely hope I’m wrong about this theory but I don’t think I am and that breaks my heart. I’ve never left a bad review on anywhere before but I just want people to know so you and your dog don’t have to go through what me and my dog went through.

Angie is amazing! She is a wonderful pet sitter. She is kind and caring to your pets so you know they are being loved while you are away. She is also dependable and thoughtful. I would give her my highest recommendation!

Very professional and friendly!
