Pet Sitting Beech Mountain

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Boone. He warmed up to her right away, and she took great care of him during our Thanksgiving travels. She was reliable, thorough, and clearly very comfortable with dogs, which made it so easy to relax knowing he was in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing bottled water for him when our pipes froze. We’re so grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Jessica is great. I have two cats and one of them is very shy and the other one is outgoing. They both loved her and I loved that in one of Jessica’s pictures. She actually got a picture of my shy cat rubbing up against her.😻 my cats are very good at judging good people”

“Thank you so much Kendall! I can tell our dogs loved having you drop in for visits, and we were happy to see the cat warmed up to you as well. We loved seeing the photos of all the pets.”

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 and Sundays mostly. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I’ll give updates when you need and keep a watchful eye on your baby! I like giving them freedom to run around and play but i’ll make sure safety is my number one priority. Just treating them like my own!

About: Retired from workforce, former military, active person, daily walks with our dogs—neighborhood, parks, trails. Worked with certified dog trainer for our two dogs. Time on my hands. I am retired and have plenty of time when not playing with our own two dogs and exercising. They are the center of our lives. We have a fenced in back yard for our dogs. Since I am retired, and my wife works part time, I spend most of my time with our dogs. We will not bring client’s pets to our home nor will my wife be a caretaker.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

“Sam is always on time, professional, and communicates very well. I appreciate the photos and updates during the visit. It brings me much joy and comfort knowing Sam is taking care of my kitties! Thank you again for your help!!”

About: Throughout middle and high school I was a local dog sitter to several different families in my neighborhood. Now, I spend my time volunteering at the local animal shelter or pet sitting. I currently am in graduate school at Appalachian State. I am only in class Monday and Tuesdays and the rest of the week I work part time at a school. I’m able to come home in between classes to spend time with pets and let them outside. I care for pets like I would my own! I make sure that they have everything they need for their happiness and wellbeing. Dogs and cats get especially anxious when their owners leave, so I understand the importance of giving them extra love and care!

“Katy was great! Easy going and very communicative. Made sure our kitties got the attention we wanted to make sure they had while we were away. Would definitely rebook!”

About: Hi! I’m Autumn, a passionate animal lover with over three years of hands-on experience working at a professional dog daycare and boarding kennel. During that time, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, giving me the confidence and skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I’m currently studying pre-veterinary medicine, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and first aid. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress, illness, or injury and responding appropriately when needed. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly love. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a potty break, playtime, or extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I’ll provide dependable care, plenty of love and attention, and regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm a college student living in the lovely Banner Elk/Beech area. I'll be here all summer long and am happy to adjust my schedule to care for your pets at any time of day or night. 1. Trusted and respectful care: I respect my clients' homes and belongings, treating them with the utmost care and professionalism during my visits. 2. Adhering to routines and instructions: I closely follow the pet's routine and any specific instructions the client gives, ensuring that their feeding, medication, exercise, and other needs are met without disruption. 3. Security and safety: I ensure the home's security during my visits, such as adequately securing doors and windows and activating any alarm systems as requested. 4. Communication: I maintain open and transparent communication with the client, providing updates and addressing any concerns or questions they may have. At the same time, their pets are under my care. 5. Cleanliness and organization: I strive to leave the client's home in the same condition, if not better than I found. This includes cleaning up after pets, disposing of waste properly, and maintaining a neat environment. By offering a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment in my home and a client's home, I strive to provide the highest level of care for pets, giving owners peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.

“Gracie did, an outstanding job caring for Scout and providing me with information on her visit. Scout was a very happy girl when I got home and it appeared she was looking for Gracie to come in, also. I would not hesitate to have Gracie sit for Scout again.”

About: Hi! I'm Megan! As a former Kennel/Vet Tech with Vet Tech schooling and growing up with dogs, cats, horses and chickens, I have always had a special bond and connection to animals. I have experience with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! My husband, Josh, and I live in our camper van, so we are able to provide constant care for your pets while you're away. When you book us for overnight sits, we take care of your pets and stay in your home as a team of professional petsitters. Josh works remotely in IT, and I work some weekends in the wedding industry, so with no physical, daily job to go to and no house/pets of our own to check on, we are able to spend a significant amount of our time taking care of your pets. A bonus of our luxury care is that your pets will get double the love and attention from us throughout the day; our goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and for them to hardly know you're gone! Living in a van and working remotely comes with so much flexibility for us and our Rover clients. Pet parents value the level of care we're able to provide with our nomadic lifestyle. Petcare is my full-time job, so when you book us for a housesit, that is my main priority. While I'm the main caretaker, Josh learns about your pets' care needs and helps out a ton as well, especially if I have to work a wedding or I need to do drop-ins/dog walks. We work great as a team to meet your pets’ needs and to keep their normal routine. We take the safety of your pets and the care of your home very serious. If you have pets that require special attention or have high anxiety, we are there to ensure everyone is safe, relaxed, and taken care of. We care for your pets as if they were our own and you can be rest assured they'll not only have their needs met, but be loved, played with and given plenty of attention as well!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been blessed to love and care for pups of all ages — from energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and attention. Growing up around dogs taught me more than just the basics of feeding and walking. It taught me how to read their body language, understand their different personalities, and recognize when they need comfort, space, playtime, or reassurance. Every dog is different, and I truly respect that. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. They’re family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, sticking closely to their routine, or just quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for your fur babies. My schedule is very open, so I’m available most days and times to provide attentive, loving care. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job outside of the home, your pet won’t be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly enjoy being home and caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. 🐶💛 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications, and bedtime habits — because I know consistency helps reduce stress. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and rest. Since I stay home, they’re rarely left alone and always have someone nearby to make them feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure feeding instructions, walk schedules, medications, and any special care needs are followed exactly as requested. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal in either setting is the same — to treat your fur baby like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly! Even though my dog gave her some difficulty in the beginning she was patient and quickly made him feel very comfortable with her. She always sent photos and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!”

About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I recently graduated with an MBA from East Tennessee State University and I’m working full time as a marketing manager for Ballad Health Medical Associates. I work 3 in days in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and work 2 days remotely Monday and Friday. My job is 2 minutes from my home so I would be able to check on your dog during lunch or check on them at your place. For this reason I don’t accept house sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday that are more than 10 miles away. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

About: Im extremely reliable and confident. Been watching children, dogs, and a CNA for a long time. I enjoy all kind of pets and feel they deserve good attention and care. I’m a stay at home mom, I could use a little money and getting out as well. I think this would be great for me. I would make sure to pay close attention to detail when it comes to your four legged babies. Provide great care and always be kind.
