Dog Sitting in Blowing Rock

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10 years old! Horses, chickens, cows, donkeys, fish, hamsters, goats, sheep, rats, kittens, dogs, etc! I am happy to help with any pet needs! I have recently graduated from college and am working part time working towards full time! Pet sitting and care fit well into my routine as I typically work 4 hour shifts at a time leaving great time to check in with pets! My weeks are flexible just reach out if you have any questions! I try to have what is best for my animals including fenced in yards and proper food, cages, and medicines. Although I do not offer boarding, I will make absolutely certain your animals stay safe in my care!

About: I grew up in Wyoming where I was a member of 4-H for ten years. I raised pigs and rabbits for show and also grew up with two cats and a corgi at home. I have experience giving medication to each of these animals and even some experience giving injections. My husband, Orlando, and I love animals and work most of our Rover appointments together. At home we have two cats and a hedgehog! I’m pretty flexible and almost always have time in the mornings and in the evenings after 4 to stop by and check on/walk/play with pets. I am happy to housesit during the week or on weekends. While housesitting I am happy to make time for daily walks and try to be attentive to when your pet needs to go out. I’m very flexible and try to leave every home as I found it or better! If your pet has toys I will always engage in play time and try to keep them happy and entertained.

“We needed Colin to come to our home in Boone to let our dogs (a golden retriever and sheepadoodle) out and spend some time with them while we were at an App football game. He came the day before to meet them. He lit up the minute he walked into the door engaging with Ginny and Otis. Hugging and giving them scratches. He was so personable interacting with me while I explained what he would do. He sent pictures and was just so kind. I will definitely use Colin again! Such a nice guy!”

“Angel was a perfect caretaker of my sweet kitties!! Everything was in perfect condition upon my return home. She was very communicative, sent great photos and videos, I always knew when she was coming and going, and my kitties loved her. I could tell she takes this job seriously and gives 100% in her care. Thank you so much Angel, I will absolutely be a repeat client. 🩷”

About: I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, I’ve had many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals as well as any types of administrative medicine and training! Pet care is always a joy to me, as a college student I try I balance life and school the same. Although I focus on my dreams in the near future I always go back to my roots with growing up with animals it’s my passion. My own animals at home which range from a variety of large farm animals and regular domesticated animals, I have a deep respect for animals and how they feel living in their environment. I believe all animals deserve the same treatment and respect, whether that be regular feeding and walking or even just playing with toys, I love making them feel special and comfortable.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, giving medication, and providing enrichment through play. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and sizes, and I prioritize a safe, nurturing environment. I've also volunteered at animal shelters and helped neighbors with pet care while they were away. Growing up in a large household with pets taught me the importance of responsibility and companionship. I'm flexible with rates based on care needs and time commitments. I’m excited to be your pet’s new best friend! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time available to care for fur babies! I’m very adaptable based on care needs and am happy to be flexible for each family. My focus is always on keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable. I follow their routine, give plenty of attention, and make sure they’re getting whatever care or exercise they may need.

About: l am offering my pet sitting services for anyone living close to Boone, NC, that is in need of dog walking or pet sitting services. I was raised on a Dairy, Avocado and Coffee farm in the coffee region of Colombia and l have many years of experience with all types animals including: Dogs, Cats, Birds and even exotic animals such as Owls, Squirrels, Rabbits and my Cows, Chickens and Ducks. Being surrounded with all these types of animals since my childhood I was taught from a very young age to love, care and respect all animals. Some of my best experiences were learned when I assisted in the birth of our baby cows, and rescued new born, abandoned or injured animals around the farm. On many occasions I had to extensively nurse these animals back to health. While I speak Spanish fluently and some English, I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to offer my services and knowledgeable experience here in the United States, where pets are loved and respected as children. My husband, an eCommerce entrepreneur, and I are both fortunate to work from our home so all pets we take care of are always in good company and are never left alone. While pets stay in our home they are protected and well cared for and treated like members of our family. While living in Florida I owned and operated a successful pet business for 9 years called Aventura Pet Care. I always had the dream of expanding my Pet Care business and one day owning land where I could take care of many more types of exotic animals. Finally, we decided to fulfill our dream and relocated to Boone NC in 2021 where we started a small farm called Encanto Farm. Now with an acre of land we have plenty of space to continue our Pet Sitting business taking care of small and exotic pets and such as: Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Birds, Turtles, Parrots, Small Dogs, Cats, Chickens, & Ducks. They are only given food that corresponds to each pet. They always have their clean water, neat bedroom. We play, we walk and they are given a lot of love. I like to know the medical condition of pets. Additional if they are allergic or if they have any important condition. Very important to have full vaccinations and that they are neutered.

About: I have grown up with dogs I currently have two of my own. I have also been a certified veterinary assistant for almost two years, so you dogs will be in great hands. I am a full time student at Lees McRae College so my schedule varies, but I do not have class on Tuesday or Thursday as of this semester. In my apartment I care for my dogs with two meals a day and play time when I’m home as well as playtime outside in the fenced in dog area.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. While I have had my own dog for the last 4 years, most of my friends have had dogs since their early 20's. And, I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching them on and off throughout the years. Dogs bring me an incredible amount of joy. I feel very passionate about making sure that any dog in my care is well taken care of and happy. Dogs deserve to get back all the love they give to us! I'm currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility. It would be easy for me to drop in for a visit or take your dog for a walk. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly dog that loves company. I also live in a walkable neighborhood near several parks and hiking trails. I ensure multiple walks/hikes a day, play time, good food, and lots of snuggles (if they're in to that).

About: With a deep care for animals, I aim to make the cats and dogs thru this service comfortable, happy, attended to, and loved. Thank you for your consideration. For dog walking and drop in visits, I currently have a free schedule from 8am to 8pm daily. Please book with me at your convenience! During house sitting visits, I will be keeping a friendly awareness on the pets at all times and attending to their needs throughout the shift, whether that’s feeding the pets, keeping them out of harms way, or sharing time to play.

“Really appreciate Marcy being available spur of the moment. She was on time and sent great pictures of my floof during her visits!”

“Lupe's care for our Bailey over the Christmas week was nothing short of remarkable. Her warmth and dedication shone through every interaction. She was respectful of our space, punctual, and very responsive, easing our minds while we were away. Her genuine affection for Bailey was evident, making us feel like Bailey was in the best of hands. We're so grateful to Lupe for her commitment during such a busy season and wholeheartedly recommend her. We look forward to entrusting Bailey to her caring hands again. Thank you, Lupe, for treating Bailey like your own!”
