Top rated Blowing Rock doggy day care sitters
“Super nice. Loves animals. Great professional but cozy environment. Very attentive to my older dog. She was very good at communication, responding quickly to all messages.”
“Our experience was outstanding! Amanda was very kind and accommodating to us and took great care of our sheepadoodle while we went to a tennis tournament in Hickory. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog throughout the day to show how much fun she was having. They have a fantastic shaded fenced in yard where our dog was able to run around and play. We cannot be happier with our experience and will absolutely take her back the next time we have to be away.”
“Wonderful carers—very happy with the concern shown for my dogs. Location a bit off the beaten (e.g. paved) path.”
About: I’ve lived on a farm with lots of animals big and small so watching your pet would be a breeze. I’ve always dog sit and I thought I would continue on this app. I’m home for college so I have all the time in the world! Animals just make me so much happier so taking care of yours would help us both. I check with the owner and how they want me to do things. But take a very personal look at it as if it was my pet someone was watching. Doing everything possible.
“Lane and his family took excellent care of my puppies. He was very accommodating on drop off and pick up times and provided several pictures and messages throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again.”
“Mrs.Kara is absolutely awesome. I have never felt more comfortable leaving Lola with someone. Lola walks into Mrs.Kara's home like she belongs there and comes home so sleepy from playing all day. Mrs Kara communicates so well and takes so many pictures! I will always choose Mrs.Kara!!”
“Kayleah was very sweet and really helped us out.”
“Karen was great! My husband and I had to book super last minute and she was very accommodating. Took our simba on a walk and helped him with his anxiety. Thank you Karen!”
About: Hello! My name is Heather. I'm a 28 year old Boone local. I have 10 years of paid experience as a pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, horses, cattle, chickens, and ducks through ownership over the years. I have professional experience working at a dog kennel for 5 years. I have worked with special needs animals including diabetic, handicapped and elderly as well as newborn animals. I have a home with 40 acres of land so I can offer boarding services for most animals and provide plenty of interesting hiking if your pet stays with me. I'm home three times during the day (morning, lunch and evening). That gives me plenty of time to provide potty breaks often during the week. I offer in home pet care and boarding. For clients wanting in home care, I can stop by up to three times a day and I can occasionally offer overnight care. For those wanting to board, I provide a safe environment with lots of room. I have house with a large amount of land and safe places to walk and play. I have room and experience with safely isolating your pet if there are issues with aggression or if you aren't comfortable with your pet being around other pets. Potty breaks are provided every 3-4 hours for dogs and longer walks or play at least once a day
“She was really easy to communicate with & went above & beyond to accommodate my schedule. Highly recommend 😃”
“As always, Miss Laura is the best ever!!! BEST EVER!!! Thank you so much Laura for what you do”
“Thank you so much for an amazing day! Pork chop has missed being around others, and I can tell he really enjoyed being a part of your pack (both human and canine)! We will definitely book with you again!”
“Jill and her family are wonderful for our shy little dog! They are attentive and loving, and it wasn't long before Dawson was excited to see them when we dropped him off for daycare. Jill is extremely flexible which is such a huge asset with our ever-changing schedule. We plan to continue to book with her both for daycare and boarding, and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs and am unique because I provide not only a safe and comfortable environment for my clients' fur babies, but also personalized attention and care. My compassionate approach ensures that your dog(s) feel loved and cared for while you are away, and my years of experience give my clients peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. At this time I am only watching dogs that do not shed. I work from home so I am always available to attend to your pet’s needs and play with them as much as they want to! I enjoy going on multiple walks a day and cuddling up on the couch in the evenings. I live in a safe and clean location with lots of grass surrounding our cabin. I can personalize my care routine based on your needs and love pampering dogs.
“Alicia was willing to watch Maggie at the last minute. She dealt well with a dog who has a little bit of separation anxiety.”
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.
“Kailan and James are absolutely fantastic. They are very responsive, accommodating and treated our dog as one of their own. By far the best pet sitters we’ve used throughout the years. We will be booking their services again when we come back. Highly, Highly recommended!!!”
“We greatly appreciated that Stewart and Linda greeted us outside their house wearing masks when we dropped off Teddy. They are very COVID conscious. We rarely leave Teddy with a sitter as he is our constant companion. We wanted to take a day trip and pets were not allowed. We left Teddy with Stewart and when we picked him up we could tell he had a wonderful time. Stewart had taken him on lots of walks during the day, played with Teddy's favorite toys, and Teddy was returned to us very content and happy. Stewart only takes one pet at a time so Teddy received a lot of attention. If you are looking for a safe, loving place to leave your precious pup, I do not think you could find anyone better than Stewart. We would definitely use him again.”
About: I currently do not have any pets, but have had multiple throughout the years. I am excited to gain more experience and to take care of pups or cats. I currently work as a remote event planning intern, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with pups! I have free time throughout the day and evenings, while being home for work! I can do whatever you feel comfortable with when caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and can take them on walks or can crate, if needed.
“Bethany took wonderful care of Rex for the day in her home. She is really communicative and we’ll definitely book more in home visits with her. If you are in the Foscoe, Banner Elk area she is very close, and is open to picking your dog up for a modest fee”
