Pet Sitting in Bakersville

About: We lost our last little guy in February 2024. It’s the first time in 35+ years without at least one dog under the same roof, and it’s felt like something essential is missing. I have such a love for dogs, and would love to pass that on to yours while you have to be away from them. That’s my main reason for being a Rover Sitter. I’m semi-retired and work from home, so your dog(s) will get my full attention. Your dog(s) will get care, love, playtime and exercise. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy. Inside, they'll get a lot of attention and affection whether playing ball, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in that care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc. Our dogs were allowed on the furniture, and slept on the bed with us; I respect and will follow your rules for that, though. For those who like to sleep in their own "den," I have a lot of experience with crate training also. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before the first visit to make sure everybody's comfortable -- both canine and human. Photos and updates are happily available while you're away. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I can sit with your dog(s) any day of the week and/or weekend. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy.

“Natasha was simply amazing. She was so good with Mr. Chubbs and he was well cared for. This was the first time I used Rover so didn't know how things would go or what to expect. Natasha put me at east right away and explained the process very well. During the visits she was consistent with providing me with feedback and even went above and beyond on certain occasions. I am very, very pleased!”

“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”

“Giselle was wonderful with the pups and took extra special care of our 13yr dog who had mobility issues and needs medications multiple times per day. We would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!!!”

About: I have took care of dogs and cats since i was 9 years old. I have always had animals in my house and I love to take care of them. I have looked after my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs both. I am free most of the time! I want to find a way to help others by also doing something I love which is taking care of dogs. I watch after my dogs daily and would love to share the love I have for my dogs to yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, however i do own leashes that I would take dogs out on in order to insure nothing happens to your fur babies!

“My first experience on this app was a fantastic one! Margaret was very communicative and I had such peace of mind leaving my cat in her care while I was on my trip. She followed all the instructions perfectly and sent the cutest pictures. Everything was left in the condition she found it and I have zero complaints. I highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.”

About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.

“Maysen was a great choice! Arrived on time , takes care of the pups like her own. Did everything needed to put my mind at ease . Lots of updates throughout the day . I would highly suggest giving Maysen your business!”

“Kayla was fantastic! She made my cats feel comfortable and they are usually afraid of new people. I definitely recommend her for hanging out with your kitties!”

About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.

“Thanks so much for taking care of my cat for a few days, nice to know someone is checking in with him daily :). Will definitely reach out again”

“Hailey was able to come with little notice and was so good with my very large breed pup! Communication was perfect and she sent photos. Will absolutely book again with her!”

“Ellie went above and beyond to take care of my babies. It was the time when our area froze up to the point where electricity was turned off every two hours. She even made sure that everything is done in our home during that time. Thank you so much. I will definitely see you again ?”

I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there

About: I’ve had dogs in my family home since the time I was born. Growing up, my neighbors would give me $5 a day to watch their dogs while they were at work or out of town. When I was a vet tech, I had a lot of clients that I would pet sit for when they would travel, sometimes for months at a time. I have two dogs of my own and one cat. I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, so I have a lot of experience in the medical field with animals as well. I also provide mobile nail trimming/bathing, etc. if you’re interested! I work a full time job. However, I am able to stay over night if you’re needing to go out of town for any reason. I’m super flexible with my schedule and have the ability to help with your needs. I have two good dogs that can keep your fur baby entertained. I also have a three old that’s good with animals. Please let me know if there’s anything special that needs to be done for your pet while they stay with me and my family if you choose to board with me. However, I am completely open and happy to stay at your house with your babies.

During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household.

“Suzanne rescued us while on vacation in Santa Fe! She was able to stay with my dog with 10 minutes notice. He was already frightened from the lightning and thunder, so such a relief. She sent photos and a video of him running around outside after the rain stopped. Thank you!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15, with family and friends depending on me to provide quality care to their pets. I am familiar with hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. I work full time, but I am able to provide potty breaks for my lunch hour. I am fully available on weekends! I am always welcome to discussing a more detailed schedule that meets your needs, as well as your future babies. I have a fenced in yard with fresh water hook up and a large dog house, with a tree that provides shade. I have three amazing dogs that are very animal friendly, especially with our cats. Our dogs are crate trained, so if your pet needs crated for any reason, I can also provide that as well.
