House Sitting in Chimney Rock

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our Brita is terribly sweet to us but can be terrible to strangers. Not so with Susan. Instead, Brita quickly accepted Susan, and the multiple pictures Susan thoughtfully sent us showed a peaceful and happy puppy.i’m slow to post because I couldn’t find enough good things to say and didn’t want to short-change Sarah’s review. She’s terrific. The best!”

“Jade is a great communicator with a friendly demeanor. Our dogs loved her! We were happy to see photos/videos of our babies looking happy and playful. We came home to happy dogs and a sweet note from Jade. She went above what was asked and took the time to brush out our big dog and to even water the plants! She will be our go to dog sitter going forwards!”

“This was my first time using Iliana as a sitter for our pitbull, Jackson. I will definitely be booking her again. When we returned from vacation we had a happy dog, and a clean house. She was very attentive to Jackson, and sent several photos every day.”

“Rebecca was so sweet with our boy and was a lovely house guest! Would definitely use her services again”

“Katy was amazing! She is a gentle, thoughtful dog sitter who took such excellent care of our pups (and home!) while we were away. I could tell by the pictures that our girls were thankful to have her company. Katy vacuumed and mopped before our return home (our pups are super shedders and diggers! 😳), which was above and beyond anything we could have wished for. As if that wasn’t enough. Katy also handmade the cutest, most thoughtful tree ornaments for our pups! Katy is an excellent pet sitter and an all around great human, we are so grateful we were able to have her take care of our girls!”

“Mandolyn was great with our pup! She engaged him mentally and physically and was a trooper keeping him occupied during several days of rain. She listened, followed instructions and takes her job seriously. Will definitely use her again.”

“She came and took care of my two cats while I was out for work. She gets the job done with care and diligence. Would highly recommend.”

“Jeni did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs over the weekend. When she stopped by several weeks ago to meet us, all of the dogs took to her right away, even the anxious one who is usually quite wary of strangers. I knew right then that Jeni was going to be great with the girls. She checked in with me and also sent photos of them, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her!”

“Shakara was amazing. She cared for a dog like she was her own, giving lots of love and snuggles. She sent us daily updates and photos and was just kind and lovely to work with. We are so grateful we found her!”

“Julie was so great! She sent lots of pictures during the stay. Made me feel comfortable leaving my pups. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Tom was so great with Evey! He is fantastic and so caring with pups, definitely an animal lover! I appreciate his ability to pivot on times with my crazy schedule, as well as the dependability for ensuring the pooch gets outside and gets exercise. Tom has also been great about taking Evey on hikes and longer adventures when I know that I am going to be hemmed up at work for a while. I absolutely keep Tom on speed dial as my go-to for anything with Evey!”

“Karen is a solid sitter. This was her second time caring for Alvin and we were pleased with her communication once again and our home was clean as it was her first time staying.”

“Chesley was awesome with our two dogs! We had her come house sit for us for 5 days and she always sent daily updates and photos! We will definitely be using her again and I know our babes will be excited to see her!”

“Ella is a gem. She spent the weekend with my pup. I felt comfortable and confident in services from start to finish. She provided excellent communication with several updates. I came home to clean home and a happy dog. I am happy recommend Ella to other pet owners.”

“Jess is awesome! I recommend her every time! She's also a really good dog groomer, she takes her time and my fur babies absolutely love her.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Brianna! She worked with us to set up a meet & greet prior to us leaving town; we’ve never left Finn for this long before so I was incredibly anxious leading up to our trip but she immediately put my mind at ease as soon as we met. While we were away, she sent tons of pictures and videos along with updates on how Finn was doing, she was extremely easy to communicate with and was always quick to respond, she also worked around Finn’s schedule as he can sometimes get separation anxiety which I so appreciated. She did absolutely everything we asked and more. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Brian stay with Finn again; he absolutely loved her!!”

“Walker really is the guy you want responsible for your precious things in life. Two years ago, I asked him to manage my research program in the Maldives and I must say that he ran the show much better than I could, and I was the project leader. In the end, I wound up learning a lot from his attention to detail, empathy, cleanliness, and high standards. I know this sounds like a commercial trying to sell you something, but I am not being verbose or exaggerative here...he's really a great guy and you can be confident that your pets will be in good hands.”

“Isabel has taken care of our animals many times. She is very good with the animals and responsible. Paying attention to detail and loving on our babies!”

“Rest assured your furry friend is in good hands with Caleb! He is reliable, trustworthy, and dependable. I have personally known him for about 8 or 9 years and have witnessed him caring for various animals. Our dog Charlie loves him and enjoys it when he takes her on walks, plays in the yard, or when he allows her to use him as her own personal snuggle buddy. I couldn't think of anyone better to put your trust in with your furr baby.”

About: AVL local, born and raised. Mom of 3 human children and mom of 30 non human children 🙃. I’m a night shift nurse with 15+ years of health care experience. Owner and Operator of Middle Fork Farms, where we grow and sell organic fruits and veggies, produce local honey and organic, free range eggs. I pride myself on my ethical breeding of AKC Golden Retrievers and over the last 5 years of breeding and whelping I have truly lived by “I’m working to support my dogs; my dogs do not support me!” Im passionate about educating myself and others on the history of the breed, as well as canine health, and genetics and structure. I prioritize health and function over appearance. I believe in the importance of breed preservation, as well as ensuring the breed stays true to its origins, all whilst maintaining a moral code. At the end of the day I’m an animal lover….like seriously! I have 4 dogs, 2 pigs, 14 chickens, 4 goats, multiple reptiles and I absolutely LOVE every single one of them! And I would love the opportunity to share my love, knowledge and care for animals with you, your family and your baby! Im a night shift nurse, currently working 7PM-7AM Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, so I have open availability through out the week starting Monday morning at 8AM. Our pets live in a VERY large, dog friendly house with lots of toys, dog beds, treats, love and the option of a safe, fenced in back yard if you’d prefer that your dog remain indoors and only go outside to potty. But we also own multiple creek side acres for your dog to experience and explore with me, my husband, our 3 children, our very friendly and extremely socialized 4 dogs (ages range from 5 months old to 14 years old) and we can’t forget our container, socialized and well behaved, livestock. Either way, rest assured your pet is not only socializing with other healthy pets, they’re also being stimulated and loved while you’re away.
