Do you handle more than one pet at a time?

Yes. As a value added savings, the second dog in the same household is an additional $15.

Do you still offer services during inclement weather?

Yes. We try to maintain our distance limits as locally as possible to ensure a majority of our service is within a safe walking distance, so that there's no need to worry about inclement weather.

Do you offer pet boarding services?

No, we do not offer pet boarding services. We believe that pets would be best kept at home in their most familiar environment to minimize stress and other occurences.

Are you insured?

Yes. Our company is licensed, bonded, insured, and have passed all background checks.

Why do you require a preliminary consultation?

We do this because we'd like to ensure you and your pet feel we are a good fit before continuing service.

About us!

Hi, we're the Spencers! We are born and raised in New Jersey and moved down to Raleigh looking for a new adventure! Since falling in love with North Carolina, we have decided to blend our experience, interest, and love for animals creating The Crate Escape.

My name's Spencer! I've worked full time in the construction industry, and have had many dogs in my life. I have experience running a dog sitting service at my mothers business in New Jersey. When I'm not working, I'm usually gaming or studying at home with my grouchy old man chihuahua Oreo who's been with me for 20 years.

Hiya, my name is Olivia! I am a holistic nutritionist, reiki practitioner (yes, I practice on animals), and health coach. Prior to my experience in the wellness world, I worked at one of the top kennels in New Jersey working with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, horses, and plants! When I wasn't working at the kennel, I would spend all my time at the barn riding professionally. I grew up with a house full of animals and realized how they become part of our family and can be the love of our lives.

Meow! My name is Abigail, but you can call me Abby for short! I love cuddles, sleeping on Olivia's head, following Spencer around meowing loudly, making biscuits with my pristine beans, and getting zoomies at 3am. When Olivia and Spencer aren't looking I like to chase Oreo and locate the hidden cat nip.

Arrf, my name is Oreo. I am a 20 year old chihuahua who wears diapers and has no teeth. When I am not sleeping (this is my day job), I am getting into trouble eating the cat food. I may be old, but I still sprint around the living room when I get the daily zoomies. I love cuddles and love being buried under blankets.
