“Jill and her family were amazing! I was a little nervous to leave the girls with a new sitter, especially because it was the first time that the puppy would stay somewhere overnight without us, but was immediately reassured that we'd made the best decision when Jill sent the first few pics of the girls. They were literally smiling and I could tell that they were feeling right at home. When we picked them up, they were all packed and ready and were exhausted from playing outside with the other animals in Jill's HUGE yard . I cannot thank you enough for taking such good care of our dog-children!!”
“We were very pleased with Bella's stay with Craig and Julie. Bella loved the home immediately and enjoyed running up and down their stairs. We were gone for 9 days and Craig sent us pictures and updates on how Bella was getting on. We greatly appreciated the extra attention he gave to her and gave to us. We felt secure and peace knowing she was well cared for. We plan to be in the area again next year and plan to have3 Bella stay her again. We highly recommend this family.”

“McKenzie did great with Mandi and her family. You know your dog is happy when she runs to greet you and then back to Mandi’s porch to sit and get more loving. Mandi is very flexible and I will definitely be using her in the future”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years. I grew up with a family dog from the time I was nine, and now that I’m in college, I have a fur baby of my own who I’m currently training. She loves people and enjoys playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a friendly buddy around! In addition to personal experience, I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of America, where I would bring in dogs for the kids to read to. Watching the joy it brought both the children and the dogs was truly unforgettable. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t wait to give your pet the same love and attention. I attend classes through the week, They are only a hour and half long and I have breaks in between. If I have to run an errand my furry friends are more than welcome to go ride along Making sure your pet feels loved and safe — whether in my home or yours — is always my top priority. I’m happy to let pets roam freely around the house and follow their normal routine, since I know from experience with my own fur baby how important consistency is. I want your pet to feel completely comfortable, so if they have a favorite spot to nap or prefer sleeping wherever they choose, that’s perfectly fine with me.
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!
“Heather was so good with our senior girl! She was extremely friendly and personable. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. She provided us with updates and pictures. We highly, highly recommend Heather:)🐶”
About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbours for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and do not have a dog while I am here. When I am home, I walk dogs multiple times a week. I have a fenced garden and one very gently dog. My dog is quite small, so he likes many short walks, while my previous large dog like longer walks.
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.
