Dog Walkers in Blowing Rock, NC

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.

About: I have always been a HUGE dog lover. I was raised with dogs and there has never been a time where my family has not had a dog. In 2020 I started my own pet sitting business back home and accumulated over 60 clients. My business offers walks, drop-ins, training, overnight care, baths, and more! I have taken care of puppies, teens, middle-aged, and senior dogs. I have taken care of dogs with special needs and medical issues like diabetes. I started riding horses when I was 7 years old so there is no dog too big or too small! I take care of each and every dog like they are my own and I absolutely love my job. I cannot wait to meet your pup(s)! I am currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule. Class Tuesdays and Thursday 8am-10:45am. No class Monday, Wednesdays, or Fridays. I go to the gym once a day but that time is fit in work and school schedule! I offer pet care in the client's home. At the moment my roommate and I have 2 dogs one just being a few months old so I don't offer pet care in my apartment until he is older.

“Jada was great to work with our dogs! We will definitely use her again in the future. I highly recommend !”

“I highly recommend Emerson. She walked my one-year-old Golden Retriever Jackson 3x a day for a week. When she came for her initial visit, I could immediately tell she was an animal lover and would treat Jackson as if he were her own dog. I also instantly saw how comfortable and confident she was walking a larger, energetic puppy – she had complete control. Throughout the week, she was incredibly prompt, professional and reliable. She gave regular, detailed and fun updates throughout the week. I could not recommend her more highly.”

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.
