Pet Sitting in Blowing Rock

About: With hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds including French Bulldogs, Labrador Retrievers, Dachshunds, and Pit Bulls, I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. From playful energy to gentle cuddles, I tailor my care to make every pup feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it's a short walk, feeding time, or extended pet sitting, I treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nursing student at Appalachian State University and a part-time CNA in Boone, I’ve learned to balance a busy schedule with reliability and compassion—both of which I bring to pet care. I'm typically available in the afternoons and evenings on days when I'm not working at the hospital. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and spending time with animals is actually one of my favorite ways to unwind! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I stick closely to your pet’s schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime—just like you would. Whether it’s a short sitting session or a quick walk, I make sure they feel secure and loved. I’m respectful of your home, always clean up after the pets, and give them plenty of attention, whether it’s tossing a toy, a belly rub, or just keeping them company.

“My family and I rented a house in the mountains and wanted to all go out for dinner but needed somebody to come in for a couple of hours and sit with our dog. Found Rachel she was a godsend! The whole transaction through Rover was fabulous. She was punctual, caring, loving, and above all actually brought homemade sourdough bread for us! I cannot recommend her enough. Thanks again, Rachel!”

About: With 4 years of hands-on experience at a busy doggy daycare (Pooch Pad), I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I managed feeding, medication, potty breaks, and playgroups for 50+ pups daily. Whether your dog is energetic or shy, a puppy or a senior, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is a top priority in my weekly routine, and I’m committed to making time for your furry family member. I typically work at Earth Fare from 2–8 PM on weekdays, but I’m flexible and happy to work around my schedule to ensure your pet receives the care, attention, and love they deserve. I love staying active and enjoy daily walks at Greenway Park, making it the perfect outing for energetic pups. I also cherish cuddle time—your furry friend will get plenty of love, attention, and affection. Animals truly feel like mini best friends to me, and I treat them with the care and companionship they deserve.

“Katelyn took excellent care of my two cats. She played with them and kept their areas clean. She was very responsive in our communications too. I would definitely book Katelyn again.”

“We live off a steep gravel mountain road and it was predicted to snow. Stacy is our usual pet sitter but we needed to find someone with 4WD to get out here. Found someone and went on our trip. Halfway through our trip they bailed on our dogs due to the roads! Desperate, I asked Stacy if she could help us at all. She went above and beyond organizing rides from people she knew with capable vehicles to get to our pups. I cannot thank her enough! Hands down, the best pet sitter we have ever had.”

“Riley was amazing! She took such good care of our cats and made sure our older cat got her medicine on time each day. The cats were happy and calm when we returned home and we can’t thank Riley enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely book again.”

“Paige was so easy to work with and took really good care of my two dogs. There was even an accident that she cleaned up. She kept me updated throughout my trip and followed my instructions as I asked.”

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 have three cats and have had them my whole life! i’ve previously owned a black lab named kiki! i currently dog sit for another family and walk dogs for owners in the area. i am friendly and easy-going, and am willing to work with you on schedule and necessities for your pets! right now i work during the day typically 9-2/3 during the week. i am available on weekends and weekday evenings! i could also do early morning drop ins if necessary. I don’t typically do sitting from my own home because I have a car myself, however I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and we have one cat together! Our apartment is always clean and free of anything that could pose a danger to animals ( our cat gets into everything). When i’m visiting a client’s home, I always leave everything exactly as it was when I arrived. (with the exception of pet accidents of course).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years now. I understand your dogs are your babies so taking care of them and modifying to their needs is one of my biggest priorities! I have a lot of free time to take care of your fur babies! The summer weather is perfect for walks! My schedule is very flexible, I would love to plan some meet & greets in order to meet you and your animals! In my home, your dogs would be like a part of my everyday routine. I would prefer to care for them in their own environment of course!

“Daniel was fantastic when I needed help with my girls!! He sent me regular pictures of them, and I knew they were well taken care of! It was so heartening to know that I dogs were well cared for while I was working. I highly highly recommend Daniel if you ever need assistance with your animals!”

About: I have been taking care of and owning dogs since I was a child. My family recently adopted a puppy who I helped with training and taking care of. My roommate and I recently adopted a cat as well and I still help people with dog sitting where I can. I work part-time and go to school full-time so I am available on the weekends if I am made aware in advance and I can do weekdays after 2 pm. At home I don't have a fenced yard so I am accustomed to taking dogs on many walks and also crating dogs when leaving. I am prepared to follow any instructions a client will leave for me about how they prefer me to care for their pets.

“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Franny. I would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone else!!”
