About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!
About: I’ve grown up with childhood dogs of all kinds from tiny chihuahuas and mini labradoodles to big breeds like Saint Bernards. I’ve learned that every dog is different, and their care really depends on their breed, personality, and routine. I’ve helped care for my siblings’ pets, looked after cats and dogs for neighbors, and I’m confident handling different energy levels, sizes, and needs. I’m also a runner, so I love taking active dogs on longer walks, but I’m just as happy keeping older or more anxious pets company and making sure they feel safe and calm. I’m currently working two on-campus jobs this summer, but I still have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m usually available for dog walks or check ins in the mornings, late afternoons, or early evenings, depending on the day. I’m great at keeping a routine and following instructions closely, and I’ll always make sure your pet is cared for on time. I live in a quiet campus dorm that’s clean, calm, and pet-safe. There’s nothing harmful lying around, and I’m happy to let pets on the bed or bring in a dog bed if needed. It’s a simple space, but I make sure it’s comfortable and welcoming. I’ll take your pet out for regular walks and give them plenty of attention while they’re here.
“Amanda is awesome! Very responsive and helpful. We’ve left our dog in her care for two trips and she’s gone above and beyond. So happy to have her as an option.”
“Daisy & Rufus loved their visit with Kara! She has a wonderful fenced in backyard that they love to run in & meet other dogs! They came home happy & tired! We will definitely leave our dogs with Kara again!”
“Grady had a great weekend with Hunter and her family. She sent updates and pictures regularly which definitely put us at ease knowing Grady was being well cared for. We highly recommend Hunter and I know Grady would agree!”
“Lane and his family treated our dogs just like a part of their family. We felt so comfortable knowing they were being well taken care of and having fun running and playing with the resident dogs Shay, Oakley and Duke! The fenced yard is perfect. I really loved and appreciated getting pics and updates while we were on our trip. We definitely will book with Lane and have some dates already booked! We also love that the dogs always have someone with them unless they need to run to the store etc.”
“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”
“Cassy was nothing short of amazing. Tulsa had the best time. We got plenty of updates and photos of all their fun adventures! Thanks for loving on our pup!!”
“It was great working with Jill. She communicated well with me during the process, and sent me pictures of Trex while I was away from him. I am confident to say that this will be one of many more visits with Jill in the future.”
“Codi was great with Lucy and I received daily pictures and updates. She came back happy and wore out. Will definitely be rebooking for future vacations.”
“Laura is awesome!! She took perfect care of my big baby while I was in Morganton! She gave me regular updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry at all. She even endured his horrific farts! ? I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again if I'm in the area!”
“Craig was amazing! We had special requests for our dog that he was happy to help with and everything went smoothly! Craig was so great with communication and very reliable. I would 100% recommend him to anyone and would book with him next time we're in the area!”
About: I have a dog myself (4 years old) and I understand how hard it is to find someone to take care of your dogs while you’re away. I would absolutely love if you trust me to watch your babies and I will send you lots of pictures and updates if you’re comfortable with that. I’m a graduate student at Appalachian State and live super close to campus so I’m at my apartment most of the day when I’m not in class. I am quite flexible, I do live in an apartment so a lot of what I’ll do with be out and about or playing with my dog if they’re good together. I am available to watch them often and I’m the only one on the home so you don’t have to worry about them running away for any reason.
About: I love animals! I was raised around animals all of my life. My parents had a hobby farm, complete with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, emu's, sheep, ducks, pigs, etc. We bred and raised dogs of all kinds: huskies, dalmatians, chihuahuas, beagles, labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and so on. Since my childhood, I've helped feed, care for, and even administer medicine to our animals. I moved to Lexington KY in the Fall of 2010 and decided to take care of others' furry friends while they're away. I started and ran my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 7 years. I ended up closing down to do some traveling. But I sure miss getting out and spending time with my furry friends. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just out for the day, it will be my Joy to take care of your pets. From midday walks and home visits, to puppy breaks and house sittings, I'll treat your pet as my own, and make sure they get plenty of lovin'. “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s what I try to live by. And I’ll bring that ethos with me everyday to Caring for your seeet fur baby or babies.
“Our dog absolutely enjoys his time staying with Allison. She sends us pictures and videos of him regularly, and this demonstrates that he is having a great time.”
“Delihla was fantastic with my babies, one of them is slow to warm to new people and I was 100% at ease that they would be fast friends. Unfortunately our stay coincided with a hurricane, she kept me up to date on my pups and I never had to worry about them.”
“Katy was great! She was very communicative and willing to flexible about drop off time/location. She sent some updates and pics of Bender, and he was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“Hope and her family were absolutely fantastic! She was extremely accommodating, as it was a late notice booking. It was clear immediately that her experience made her a fantastic sitter. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, particularly huskies, which was very important for me, as she kept my three year old husky. He has separation anxiety (and let’s be honest, leaving our fur babies is hard on us too!), but Hope went leaps and bounds to make sure he was loved on and felt safe. She sent me lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Atticus left her care having made some fantastic friends with their dogs. Anytime Atticus needs taken care of, Hope will be the first call I make! Do your fur babies and yourself a favor—book with Hope! ??”
About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there
