What Your Neighbors Are Saying:
"Barbara is fabulous!! A fellow dog owner recommended her when I got my little guy 9 years ago, and she's wonderful. Since I still work full time, I use her regularly every afternoon for walks and also for pet sitting. She's like family to us and my fur baby loves her. Her vet tech knowledge has also been handy numerous times. She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She loves her "clients" just like they were her own. You can't go wrong using Barbara."
"I’ve had the same wonderful dog walker and pet sitter since moving to Fearrington 4 years ago, and she now has some openings for new clients. Can’t say enough good things about Barbara Hatcher. My dog watches for her all morning every weekday and goes crazy when she arrives. Barb is a dog whisperer, former vet tech, and all-around great person. My cats love her, too. And when she pet sits, she leaves the house spic and span."

What Your Neighbors Are Saying:
"We had the good fortune of finding Cole Park Veterinary Hospital and placing [our dog] in the excellent care of Dr. Michelle Droke. She was the one to first find <his> cancer and set him up with the Veterinary Specialty Hospital for treatment. She has kept excellent close tabs on our boy for a number of years. We cannot begin to express our gratitude for the loving care he received at her hands. The staff at Cole Park was also always so very kind and supportive, so much so that they made a donation in his honor to the hospital's Mug Fund that provides life-saving support for injured animals!"

What Your Neighbors Are Saying:
“Dr. Laurie Droke is fabulous. I use her and have been more than pleased. She comes into your home and is totally professional and great with pets.”
"We would like to sing the praises of Dr. Laurie Droke. Recently it became clear that it was time to end our dog Mutt's long battle with cancer. We really wanted to do it at our home. Neighbors and our regular vet recommended Dr. Droke to help us in our time of need. When we contacted her, she was able to respond quickly and we had our first visit almost right away. She was great with both us and Mutt. We had scheduled a second visit in a week, but only 3 days later it became obvious that the time had come. We called Dr. Droke, and even though it was a Saturday, she was able to come over that afternoon. She is a very compassionate person and helped us immensely through this final process. We don't think you could find a better vet."

Jean Kirby provides dog walker/pet sitter (dog/cat) services to Fearrington Village.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying
"If you need a dog walker/pet sitter, Jean Kirby should be your first call! She has been invaluable to me for more than 10 years since I moved to Fearrington, especially since I broke my hip and cannot walk my frisky terrier. Jean is a familiar sight in the Village as she walks numerous dogs, giving them brisk exercise and friendly attention. She knows the roads and trails and matches the dog outings to her canine clients’ age and energy level. She also enjoys visits with her cat clients, providing play and affection, as well as litter clean up. Jean is a model of professionalism. She is courteous, prompt, reliable, friendly, flexible, and communicates efficiently via text... I cannot imagine trusting my dog (or cat, if I had one) to anyone else than Jean. She is, simply, the best."

Steve Hurley is a Fearrington Village resident who provides pet services, including walking, visiting, and overnight stays.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying:
"I strongly recommend Steve Hurley. Steve has watched our in-door cat twice. He came over in the morning and evening and sent us a daily email (sometimes with a picture of our cat). During our first trip, Steve was never able to get our cat, Dusty, to come out of hiding. However, during our second trip, Dusty was sitting on his lap in a couple of days."
"Steve Hurley does a great job and keeps your animals at his house in Fearrington. My pups love visiting Steve!"
"We needed to leave on very short notice due to an immediate family member passing away. Our two dogs had always had sitters that stayed in our home with them. We found Steve Hurley on short notice. It turned out to be a great choice. As we were getting organized to leave, we dropped the dogs at his home to see how they would interact with Steve, with the expectation that he would come into our home while we were gone. By the time we got ready to depart, which was a couple of hours later, they were so comfortable with him that they stayed with him for the duration of our trip. Steve did a great job and the dogs were happy when we returned."
