About: I have a dog and 2 cats at home and have taken care of many animals throughout my life. I am also a student athlete and love taking dogs for walks or even runs if they are capable! I feed my pets and take care of them every day so it is pretty much engraved into my routine. I also walk and play with my dog everyday which brings me a lot of joy! I care for my pets on a daily basis feeding them, and caring for them throughout the day. When watching my clients pets I treat them as if they are my own, taking care of them in the best way possible!

“Murphy spent two daycare days with Mandi and her kids, and he had a great time! He definitely had gotten a lot of exercise and when we brought him back for his second day, he was very happy and excited to return. Thanks, Mandi!”

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

About: “I’ve had dogs as companions since I was a child, and they’ve always been cherished members of my family. I treat every animal in my care like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not just a job, but something I truly love. Living in the Appalachian mountains has taught me the value of a calm, grounded lifestyle, and I bring that same peaceful energy into the care I provide. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, elderly, or needing extra comfort while you’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, loved, and at home in my care.” “I care for every pet with the same attentiveness and love that I give my own children. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I work hard to create a calm, dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: Ive cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years, including my own mini Labradoodle. I am confident with puppies, high energy dogs and shy pups who need gentle love. I have hands on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication, crate training. I treat every dog like they are my own. I am a junior in college, I will be home for winter break for over a month and want a side hustle! I have open availability throughout the week. I have a Labradoodle Honey who gets lots of attention, affection, and a consistent routine. I make sure she has rest spots, fresh water at all time, and regular walks and outside time. I will send regular updates and photos so you know how ur puppy is doing.

“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: 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!

“Kara was very responsive and friendly. Micah had a great time hanging out with her and playing in the backyard — he came home very tired. Thank you!”

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.

“Wonderful carers—very happy with the concern shown for my dogs. Location a bit off the beaten (e.g. paved) path.”

“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”

“Melissa was great. We were traveling with our dog and wanted to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. Melissa's house was about 20 min from the bike rental shop in Damascus, and it worked out perfectly to drop off our dog for a few hours while we biked. She has a big fenced in the back yard.”
