Top rated Barnardsville house sitters

“Joanne immediately won over my pups, even my shy boy who usually takes his time warming up to someone. She sent me pics throughout the day and even extended her stay because one of my girls was nervous because of a thunderstorm. My dogs love her which means everything!”


“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”


“As a former member of the animal care industry, I have high standards. If you have the opportunity to let Becca care for your pets, do it. Truly above and beyond care.”



“Lyn was timely, kind, and did a great job taking care of our home and our three animals. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Our fur babies loved her and our high anxiety dog was glued to her side the whole time. He felt so comfortable with her.”


“Elizabeth was great! She came to the house to meet the animals before we left for vacation to make sure we felt comfortable. She’s a great communicator and we got multiple pictures updates everyday we were away!”


“Hannah was very communicative and seemed to have a deep care for all of my animals. I received regular updates, as well as updates when anything unusual occurred (which only happened once, thankfully!). I felt secure knowing my animals were being looked after by Hannah.”


“Julie is the absolute best! She dog sat at my home for 9 days, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Julie went out of her way to build a relationship with my sweet girl, Lumi, who was rescued from abuse and neglect and can be reactive, barky, and nervous. Julie is a true dog-lover, and it shows in how much care and professionalism she puts into her dog sitting and walks. She more than willingly took the time to learn all of Lumi’s little quirks and how to manage meds, walks and adventures, etc so that they could have a fun time together. Julie sent photos and updates everyday, and I could see how content and happy Lumi was spending time with her. I’m so thankful to have found Julie, and I look forward to booking her again in the future!”


About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats. All rescues, all crazy in their own ways. I've been pet sitting about half my life now. I've saved dogs from coyotes and have helped cats with asthma. I've walked Great Danes in the valleys of Los Angeles and walked cute chihuahuas in North Carolina. I've assisted with Wolfdog care and encountered mountain lions in California. I've been exposed to many 4 legged creatures and respect them all the same. I currently have a pitbull mastiff and she's the sweetest thing. Except when she sees a groundhog. She's about 80 lbs. I still pick her up all the time to get her onto my bed or just to hold for a second. I know doggy CPR and am a 1st responder. If your dog needs to burn energy or lose a few pounds im your person. I can train the basics and some tricks here and there. I'm pretty good with navigating activities for your dog and looking out for any signs of distress or sickness. I have a pretty open schedule and can be flexible as well. My dog will never be exposed to yours regardless of how friendly your dog may seem. My yard is open, so I always walk pets on a leash. In a client's home, I just abide by what the owner states. I don't go against wishes because it takes 1 time to make a mistake. In my own home I usually let dogs have free roam unless advised otherwise.

“Natasha was amazing with our senior pup! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and updates during our trip. I would highly recommend her as your next pet sitter!”


“Kara is awesome and would highly recommend her care for kitties! She took great care of our kitties and home, spotless when we came back from a trip where we also had a health scare. Coming back to happy cats and home was so good. Our kitties were stray/ferals when we got them, having a calming presence when we’re away keeps them close, happy and safe. Kara was so easy to work with, sent updates at a perfect interval through the week, and is warm and kind, so we immediately felt at ease. She’s a fantastic pet sitter and professional!”


About: Former animal rescuer and vet tech available to sit for your pets. Now retired from FT career, I have all day to care for your pets. You can trust my experience and age to handle your pets responsibly and respectfully. I’ve recently retired from a 20 year career and have all day to care for your pets. I’d love to pour attention into the job, playing with a rambunctious puppy or taking extra time calming an anxious kitty. I worked as a veterinary technician through college, so I have experience administering medications, including by syringe. I have a fenced in backyard. My own cats would be segregated in a separate part of the house so as not to stress your pets or be stressed by them. Cats would not be allowed outside while boarding, as my own cats aren’t, due to too many potential dangers in nature.

“Reghan was an amazing sitter for our dog Hank! She was perfectly communicative, sending me photos and updates during her stay on how he was doing. Hank immediately warmed up to her and she had no problem giving him his pills or sticking to his schedule for eating. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog - we definitely recommend Reghan to anyone, she was the best and we’ll be asking her to sit with Hank again!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”


“Tresalyn is fantastic! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, cat, chickens and fish while we were gone. She took the time to get to know our animals ahead of time with a pre visit and was so kind and considerate when we met. She made sure she understood the needs of our high energy, anxious dog and gave her plenty of exercise and lots of love while we were away. It was clear to us when we returned that she had cared for our home and pets with deep love and consideration. She also sent pictures and updates regularly while we were away, which we greatly appreciated! We are so grateful we found her! We can’t recommend Tresalyn enough!”


“Blair was great with Ty and he was so happy when I got home. House was left clean and I was kept up to dat e with walks and Ty's wellbeing. Very prompt and responsive!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kate is a rockstar! We left Kate in charge of our very complicated farm crew: two giant livestock guardian dogs (like “personal security detail” but fluffier), goats, chickens, a working barn cat, a porch cat, and the “orange boys” (our food-motivated indoor/outdoor cats). She handled it all like an absolute pro. We’ve had pet sitters before, but Kate is next level; a true Animal Whisperer. From the start, she was organized, asked all the right questions, and really took the time to understand how our place works. While we were gone, she kept us updated with sweet photo messages and little notes about everyone’s day. She managed to charm our big intimidating dogs and convince a broody chicken to give up her eggs (no surprise chicks for us, thanks to Kate!). When we came home, the animals were happy, the house was spotless, and it honestly looked like no one had even stayed here. Our critters were all clearly smitten. Kate is kind, capable, and genuinely great with animals. Highly recommend her to anyone… unless you were hoping to hire her the same week we need her again. 😉”


About: I'm a wildlife biologist and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I've looked after pets for friends and family for years and have two beloved cats of my own. I've also volunteered at nature centers and helped care for farm animals, giving me a unique background in both domestic and wild animal care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every visit. I work full time, so mornings before 8 am, evenings after 4pm and weekends work best for me! Within those hours, my schedule is flexible, so I’m available for daily drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. Whether it's an evening walk or feeding, or just playtime and cuddles, I’m happy to fit your pet's needs into my routine. I have an open yard for a dog to run around/play in, but it is not fenced in. I live close to parks and would be happy to take them on walks there as well! I have a comfortable home with plenty of comfy spaces for them to relax in as well.

“I believe Michelle would be a great pet caregiver because for as long as I have known her she has always had cats and dogs of her own. She worked for many years with various rescue agencies and even adopted a dog that she helped rescue from Hurricane Katrina and that dog lived a long and happy live with Michelle. Michelle has also watched over my dog for me when I have gone on vacation and she took excellent care of her. I don't think my dog even missed me. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and loving pet caregiver.”
