“Since I have six dogs and two cats, I really did not think that I was going to be able to find another sitter to add to my work travel rotation (I’ve had good luck with two in the past but schedules were tough) that was going to be able to meet the needs of a sassy dog, a deaf dog, a grumpy dog, an old dog, a nervous dog, and a reserved dog. But Kerrie and her considerate nature and expertise made me and my whole cast of characters feel at ease. Such a wonderful house guest and I came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed bunch. Highly recommend!”
“Teagan was a huge help with our sweet fur-babies! She took great care of them, came and did a meet and greet before we left, and stayed in contact while we were away! We would love to have her stay with our dogs again! Thanks Teagan!”
“Kenia was absolutely amazing with biscuit. He was actually sad when she left. She took him on several walks and entertained him all day. I’m so grateful for people like her! You can tell how much she loves animals. 100% recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Susanna and her husband were more than accommodating for my three dogs. They were attentive, sent me numerous updates and asked questions about their routine. It’s safe to say that my dogs love them! I will be rebooking in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea — a passionate dog sitter with 5 years of hands-on experience and four happy pups of my own. What sets me apart? I don’t just watch dogs — I understand them. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them comes naturally. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, patience, or just some loving company while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm looking to stay active this summer doing what I love most — giving dogs the care and attention they truly deserve. Since I’m home for the summer with completely open availability, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and fully committed to giving your dog the attention and care they need—any time of day. Your pup’s routine becomes my priority! I can care for pets in my own home, where I have a secure fenced yard and a doggie door that allows for easy, safe outdoor access throughout the day. Before we had a doggie door, our dogs were let out every 1–2 hours or whenever they waited by the door—so I’m always attentive to their needs. Dogs in my care are fed morning and night, and I stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to care for dogs in their own homes, where I can provide regular visits, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention while keeping them in a familiar environment.
“My high anxiety senior rescues really warmed up to Janie right away, I was impressed. Dogs know when they've come across a kindred spirit. Very caring soul and communicated well through the process with lots of updates while house sitting. I will definitely book again.”
“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”
“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Emily did such a great job with our dogs and kitties. She was stayed around quite a bit so I never had to worry about our fur babies being left alone too long. We arrived home to a clean home and happy animals.”
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

My children are teenagers and care for themselves. Yay! Dr appts would be the only reason to leave the home. I will feed, bathe, walk, and cuddle. I will be sure to give your pet all the love. I can even clean up a bit.
“Ashley is the best! She took excellent care of our 6 pets and our home. She updated us often with texts and pictures, and she went above and beyond our expectations in taking care of the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with our babies again.”
“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”
About: I’m a 20-year-old college athlete currently playing volleyball at Gardner-Webb University. I’ve been taking care of dogs for several years and have experience with breeds ranging from French Bulldogs to medium-sized mixed breeds. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs—whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just hanging out together. As a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets—especially for walks, drop-ins, or weekend boarding. I’m usually available weekdays after 10 AM and most weekends. I make sure to plan around your pet’s needs and routines, so they always feel cared for and comfortable. I live in Statesville and offer pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and healthy. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and committed to treating your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
“Once again, another wonderful sitting by Nechelle. The frequent updates and pictures keep us from worrying and allow us to have a more peaceful time away. I can’t say enough how much I recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have spent all my life surrounded with all different breeds of dogs and have always been a big pet lover. I have a pit bull, yorkie, and Chihuahua, and a holland lop bunny of my own. My family had dogs of their own including yorkies, english bulldog, pits, and labs who are spectacular dogs and for the most part all of our dogs get along and have total free roam of our house and get plenty of play time outside and so would your pet! I have a cat as well and she prefers staying outside but we are open to letting her come and go as she pleases. In our house, your animals are safe and sound! I am currently out of a job and looking to make a little extra money. I used to babysit but it wasn’t fitting for me so i’ve decided that animals is more my style when it comes to anything to care for :) I know I live out of the city limits but honestly, I'm more than willing to drive anywhere. Im about 25-30 minutes from anything so my common areas I typically am in are Saluda, hendersonville, forest city, boiling springs, etc. My yard is 5 acres and all open so they have range to roam and we have plenty of fur babies here to help keep company for your baby as well! They will get access to hangout inside and play all they want. Our neighbors are super friendly and we have a plenty long road to take them on walks as well

Andrea H.
“Andrea is one of the most responsible and respectful teenagers I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. As a former high school teacher and longtime swim coach, I’ve worked with hundreds, if not thousands, of teenagers, and Andrea stands out among them. She is communicative, dependable, and incredibly compassionate, especially when it comes to animals and children. Andrea has lovingly cared for her own dog, Bailey, since adopting her six years ago, and her dedication extends to every pet she’s looked after. She routinely woke up early before school to make sure the dogs in her care were fed and walked, and she’s even added extra visits, without being asked or compensated, for pets that seemed lonely or in need of attention with their owners away. Andrea’s thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility make her an exceptional caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any pet care needs.”

I'm very particular when it comes to the care of my fur babies, and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She took the time to truly understand their routines and needs, and I could tell she genuinely cared for them. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. She's a true gem!”

Gracie S.
“Gracie has always been a huge animal lover. We’ve never not been going down the road and not had to stop and help an animal in need. She’s volunteered at vet clinics and the vets office where i work and never fails to make a good friend with an animal. She has 3 dogs and a rabbit of her own that she is always playing with and teaching new tricks and it really is amazing how easy it is for gracie to bond with animals. She treats animals as if they were her children and we all love that about her. I would never worry about leaving an animal with her because she’s always opening the door to new opportunities with pets and absolutely loves to be active with them. Her yorkie had a litter of puppies and gracie helped deliver the babies and take care of them. Gracie is also a clean freak so if there’s a mess or an animal smells, she doesn’t hesitate to clean up any messes or load them up in a car and go give them a bath. Overall, gracie is very dependable and never makes anybody second guess anything.”
