I worked for the local phone company for 33 1/2 years before forced very early retirement due to downsizing & have sold products since the mid-90's. I've lived in Vance County, NC, my entire life; been married since 1976, & have no children, but several pets who are our children. I was active with the Employee Volunteer Group/Community Relations Team for the phone company for approximately 20 years, including participating in Relay For Life as team captain, until they disbanded in 2017. I'm 2013-2014 president, as well as Community Services chairperson, for a club made up of phone company employees, but mostly retirees, which is part of the national organization ITPA. I'm politically active locally. I've done pet care/sitting for numerous clients in several counties, my client list continues to grow, & I can provide excellent references.

We have hired Judy multiple times. She's always dependable and takes great care of our three dogs.

I used Judy for the first time to stay over with my dogs for a weekend away.  I will use her again and go away worry-free (which if you knew me, you would know what a big deal this is leaving my pups).  Judy was dependable and had some stories that showed me how well she cared for my dogs and gave them TLC while I was gone.

Judy is a extremely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our cat and chicken for a week, she texted with me and let me know everything was going great! She is trustworthy and treated our cat like gold, he was even more spoiled than when we left! My house was spotless and I am very grateful to Judy. She will be pet sitting again in December for us!! 

Judy did a great job watching my 2 dogs over the weekend. They are both extremely hyper and one of them isn't great with strangers but she was very patient with him and it worked out great! I will definitely use her again in the future.

Judy took excellent care of my 4 fur babies.  When I got home from my 8-day vacation, they were calm, happy, and very thankful to have remained in their home, and not go into the kennel during our vacation. They love her so much, and really was very sad to see her leave.  Judy stayed overnight, which was very important to me.  My home was well cared for and my fur babies looked beautiful. I will be submitting my yearly vacation plans to Judy so that we can book her early.  I highly recommend Judy and I give her A+ for great service, care, and letting me have a no worry vacation.  

She was marvelous and helped out at the last minute.  Her prices were very reasonable and she was super attentive to our animals.  She texted and emailed me about how they did.  I would definitely recommend her!  

Judy stayed overnights for 3-4 days while I was on vacation.  I have 2 indoor cats, 2 dogs, and 5 feral cats.  Judy did a great job with all the animals, including my not so friendly corgi mix.  I came home to calm, not stressed, pets and a clean house.  Would definitely use Judy again.

I hired Judy to take care of my farm which includes 2 cats, 4 dogs & 63 goats. She did an excellent job, especially with the cats. One of my cats is very shy & I told her she probably would never see it, she would just know it was there because the food disappeared. Well, she not only saw the cat, but was allowed to pet it! That is almost unheard of for my little cat! She handled my 2 high energy Australian Shepherd mixes, who tend to not obey others as well as they do me, & the 2 Great Pyrenees who guard the goats, one of whom is a 51lb frolicking puppy-in-training, well. Prior to my job, Judy only had a little experience with goats, but she jumped in full force with my herd of 27 adults and 36 kids. She fed everyone grain - which can be a challenge as they get excited & pushy at feeding time - & prepared & gave the orphan kid her bottle twice a day. She either called or texted me every day with a status on how it went & how everyone was doing. She let me know one of the goats was sick (not an unusual occurrence with this many goats) which let me get another goat herder to come evaluate it & get it started on medication a day before I got home. On top of the excellent quality care, everything was in perfect order when I got home, which is quite a challenge with 63 goats & a big puppy! I would definitely call Judy again the next time I need a farm sitter.

Judy did a good job pet sitting for me and stayed in touch with me as needed. I will plan to use her again in the future.
