Pet Sitting Blowing Rock

“Bandit warmed right up to her! Very gentle and caring.”

Colby C.

About: I have been fostering dogs for 15 years now, and have 5 years of pet sitting experience. I have worked with high and low energy dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities such as seizures and diabetes. I love all animals and am committed to making your pets time away from you as comfortable as possible! Last Minute Fee (<24hrs): $10 I currently work part-time, but only during the evenings, so I am available for a majority of the day to care for pet needs. I am a somewhat early riser and also know of the unnecessary stress put on an animal when their daily routines are disrupted, so I am adaptable when it comes to dogs with stricter schedules. I am only providing drop-in services as I have two dogs of my own. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and with issues of pulling and leash aggression. I work to maintain a clean environment for the animal as well as keeping them entertained and healthy.

“Thank you so much Kendall! I can tell our dogs loved having you drop in for visits, and we were happy to see the cat warmed up to you as well. We loved seeing the photos of all the pets.”

Alisha F.

“She’s a great person to choose to watch your pet! Also was very sweet and kind to my pet throughout the entire time I was gone. 1000 percent recommend Hayden!!!”

About: Cared for dogs, cats, and various farm animals for many years in a variety of contexts. 31 years old Born and raised in Wilkes county, Appstate grad, traveled the world working on farms, taking care of children, and playing/caring for animals all the while Since I'm a teacher, I am very free during the summer, weekends, and during all the other breaks in the school schedule. During the summer (till mid August) I will be spending large amounts of time either in your home or taking care of pets as the larger portion of my day and night. During the school year, I will be able to provide intensive attention after normal work hours, and rich weekend experiences for your pets. My availability during the different holiday breaks like Spring and Christmas break are much like the summer. I will be sure to respect and follow any instructions given to a tee and deliver prompt communication throughout the entire process. I pride myself on thorough, emphatic, attentive, and fun care of your beloved furry family members.

“Cady was seriously the best! I am always anxious leaving my cat at home when I am away but I knew he was in great hands. She sent tons of great pictures and took amazing care of my son! Highly highly recommend booking with her. Thanks so much Cady!!”

About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I have had my own cat for 6 years and took in my family senior dog for two years before she passed. I volunteered for ~80 hours at an Orange County Animal Services as a dog walker. I also received additional training at the shelter to walk and handle more aggressive and shy dogs. I am starting App State’s graduate Speech-Language Pathology program mid-August. I am currently finishing up some summer classes, but have a lot of availability for the rest of the summer! :) I care for pets on an individual basis. When volunteering at an animal shelter, I learned a lot about an animal’s body language and used that to gauge a pet’s comfortability. I love taking care of pets that like affection, but I am able to recognize which pets are open to that.

About: With 5 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.

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even tarantulas! I work a typical 9-5 and can be available before going into work, after work and before bedtime. I have the ability to work from home some days when needed. I will pay attention to the details you leave for me and communicate very clearly throughout the process. I think routine is important to animals and I intend to respect that.

About: While in nursing school I would dog walk, petsit, house sitting to earn pocket money. Since then we’ve owned 4 male Golden Retrievers. Sweet boys! I’m currently working as an RN in Raleigh and have taken off the month of July to spend in the fresh mountain air. I am an avid walker - so why not incorporate some dog walks! Our beloved Hank dog passed away this past spring. Missing him! I am mostly interested in WALKING and drop-in visits. At this point I’m not seeking pet overnights. And, seeing as I am renting my landlord would not allow pets in the rental space.

“Skyla was great with my pups and took good care of them while we were away!”

“Excellent. Stella took great care of Junior. She adapted to our situation and to our special bot. Happy dog, happy owners. We look forward to having her watch our dog again.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, reliable hands. As a college student, I don’t have the time to have a pet of my own right now, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with animals while helping other pet owners. I genuinely enjoy caring for pets, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I love being able to give pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. If I care for a pet in my own home, I’ll provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection.

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that need a lottt of work. I also volunteered with cats at the Humane Society back in highschool. I am currently doing an internship where I will be busy from 10-5 Tuesdays and Thursdays but other than that I am mostly free! My pets are all indoor, but I love taking them on walks/runs and playing outside. Also, I can get them in a crate if they need to!

About: I have two family dogs of my own ages 8 and 7. Beyond caring for these two, I have walked a golden retriever occasionally for a while and assisted with neighbor care of other dogs. I am currently a full time employee, but beyond my work I am more than happy to come play and walk your fur baby! While I work a traditional 8-5, I am happy to come by on my lunch break and after work. I am happy to bring your dog around town for a good walk. I am also happy to just walk them in your neighborhood and play with your dog for extended time depending on the day of the week.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs & cats for years and I have been reliable for every owner I worked for. I have walked, watched, and played with all dogs & cats , and make sure they’re loved. I have also assisted in dog care such as helping one giving birth to 8 puppies! I am currently a full time student at Lipscomb University, but can work Tuesdays, Thursdays, ,Fridays and weekends. Whatever is needed I can work around! I have had a great amount of experience with dogs as I grew up surrounded by them. I can walk and play fetch for however long and if needed, just check in and let them use the bathroom! I love giving them affection and make sure they’re comfortable! I am also the biggest cat lover, and can do just about anything for and with your cat!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of two Australian Shepherd mixes, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been trusted with pet care from a young age and truly enjoy building relationships with the pets I care for. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. I offer dependable overnight care, so you can travel or rest easy knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved in a familiar environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine alongside my full-time job. I’m able to provide dependable overnight care, as well as morning and evening walks, feedings, and plenty of attention outside of work hours. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be available for midday walks. I’m thoughtful about communication and planning, so your pet’s needs are always met and you can feel confident they’re well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat both the space and the pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with not only your pet, but your home as well. I’m mindful of routines, house rules, and any specific instructions you leave, and I make sure everything is followed closely. I’m always respectful of personal spaces and leave your home just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — and for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
