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 have professional experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments as a kennel care attendant. I'm also working towards my bachelor's degree in wildlife rehabilitation! I've owned all kinds of pets growing up from dogs and cats to mice, bunnies, birds, fish, and even a snake and a frog. I will treat your pets the same as my own, with respect and complete adoration. I'll even send you pictures of your pets during each visit for when you're missing your babies. I'm currently working towards a bachelor's of science degree, so I'll be pretty busy in the morning on weekdays (when in Banner elk, nc). My schedule usually calms down after 12pm, except Teusdays which are very busy. Please feel free to message me about what you're looking for and we can see if things will work out. I will not be able to stay at your house 24/7 due to my schedule. I will also have to go home for school breaks (winter/summer/spring). When I am at home (Newport News, VA), I will be available 24/7. Just message me and I'll let you know if my location has changed or will be changing before the date you need. But I will be doing my best to change my location on here in a timely manner. I'm a big advocate for playtime. I won't just stand around your house during the scheduled visits and let your dog be bored. We'll play with toys and run around and if you have a fenced in yard you can be sure I'll be out there throwing a tennis ball or playing tug of war with your pup until they're exhausted. I'll make sure our walks leave your dog well excersized and ready to nap for hours after we get home.

About: Ever since my family got a collie as a pet when I was a kid, I have been in love with dogs. That has only enhanced as I’ve grown older and cared for my own. I am currently working remotely from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for and love on your pets. Prior to walking your pets or stopping by for feedings or playtime, I would like to meet you and your pets first, if possible. That way we can make sure we all feel comfortable! It will also give us a chance to talk through instructions and expectations. I know this isn't always feasible and that's ok.

Could not have had a better person to look after the girls. So consistent on her arrivals. Apparently the cats loved her. Upon her returning house key, our big gray Tabby jumped off my lap and ran to the front door and blocked Sydney from leaving. Had to lead her out of garage to get to her car. Sydney also drew our shy scaredy cat out on first visit! All three were relaxed and happy upon our return. Sydney many many thanks for taking care of the girls.

About: I've had a dog my entire life and have trained and taken care of my current dog for 8 years. I have also had experience taking care of cats and other animals. Friends, family, and other people have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and take care of their pets. I am a college student so I have flexible hours during the week and have most weekends free. I am willing to take care of pets for any length of time. I care for pets in client's home in many ways but I always respect the client's rules. I can walk pets, let them outside, play with them, feed them, and crate them. I always give pets a lot of attention and take care of them like they were my own.

About: I’ve been trusted with the animals of many friend, family, coworker pets over the last 20 years. Prepared to feed, play with and care for your pets! I currently work full time at Appalachian State university but willing to travel during the day, before and after work in order to support family pets in need! When meeting new animals it is important to lay a foundation of trust. I have had pets my entire life and know that each animal has different routines and needs. My priority would be to ensure the animals feel as safe and secure as possible

About: I've been loving my cat and dog for a good 15 years, and have plenty of love for your babies too! I'm comfortable administering meds and caring for older animals. From my volunteering, I can handle many temperaments. I'm confident in walking a good few miles as well. I'm currently working part-time, and its the summer so Im out of school and have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! I'm officially only unavailable on Tuesdays from 4-6. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I have a fenced in yard with an older pup and a calm older kitty. It's just my Mom and I at home, so a calm, quiet environment. We've got a large backyard and plenty of energy to provide if needed!

About: Hi my name is Hailey and I’m so excited to meet your pets!! I have had a lot of experience dog sitting and dog walking and I love doing it! Before I left for college, I worked at a doggy day care and pet owners trusted me to care for their pets while they are away. I loved meeting all different kids of dogs and spending my days with them! I am in college currently but during breaks my schedule is very open. I am available to walk dogs or dog sit anytime of the week and I am very flexible. I will provide only the upmost care for your pets. I will make sure they are cared for with regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention.
