Dog Sitting in Boone

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years. I grew up with a family dog from the time I was nine, and now that I’m in college, I have a fur baby of my own who I’m currently training. She loves people and enjoys playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a friendly buddy around! In addition to personal experience, I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of America, where I would bring in dogs for the kids to read to. Watching the joy it brought both the children and the dogs was truly unforgettable. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t wait to give your pet the same love and attention. I attend classes through the week, They are only a hour and half long and I have breaks in between. If I have to run an errand my furry friends are more than welcome to go ride along Making sure your pet feels loved and safe — whether in my home or yours — is always my top priority. I’m happy to let pets roam freely around the house and follow their normal routine, since I know from experience with my own fur baby how important consistency is. I want your pet to feel completely comfortable, so if they have a favorite spot to nap or prefer sleeping wherever they choose, that’s perfectly fine with me.

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).

“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 worked as a kennel technician before going to college to get my degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. After graduating from Appalachian State University in May 2025 I worked as a canine coach over the summer and gained expertise in dog language and behavior. Upon being hired I completed canine coach training which is extensive online courses developed by Dogtopia’a canine behaviorist to ensure coaches understand dog language and behavior management in a playroom environment. I also grew up with two large dogs and a Shih Tzu in my families home so I am comfortable with large dog and small dog breeds. Someday I would love to have my own pet care business and save dogs that are soon to be euthanized in various shelters. Thank you for your time and I hope to be your Rover soon! This link: https://www.rover.com/sit/larist40758 I will give new clients 20$ off their first booking with rover! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment, I am available M-F. However, I may be free for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays! :) Safety and trust in my clients enviornment depends on their own specific needs and boundaries! I will definitely listen and do what I need to do to keep your pet safe and make you feel comfortable :)

“We needed Colin to come to our home in Boone to let our dogs (a golden retriever and sheepadoodle) out and spend some time with them while we were at an App football game. He came the day before to meet them. He lit up the minute he walked into the door engaging with Ginny and Otis. Hugging and giving them scratches. He was so personable interacting with me while I explained what he would do. He sent pictures and was just so kind. I will definitely use Colin again! Such a nice guy!”

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.

About: Hello! I've been dog sitting for about 7 years now. I have worked with several different animals throughout my life. I worked at a zoo for four years as a volunteer which allowed me to learn different animal care. I have also worked in kennels and doggy daycares. I consider myself a very responsible. I will always treat your dog as I treat my own!Caring for animals is one of my passions. My calendar is usually updated. I would suggest owners to please contact me for my availability details/information since my schedule varies a little weekly. Thank you We live in a small house. There is no fence or yard. We *always* walk the dogs on a leash and are very aware or our surroundings. I normally will take the dogs to a dog park close (for of leash running) or the greenway for a longer (on leash) walks.

“Angel was a perfect caretaker of my sweet kitties!! Everything was in perfect condition upon my return home. She was very communicative, sent great photos and videos, I always knew when she was coming and going, and my kitties loved her. I could tell she takes this job seriously and gives 100% in her care. Thank you so much Angel, I will absolutely be a repeat client. 🩷”

About: I grew up in Wyoming where I was a member of 4-H for ten years. I raised pigs and rabbits for show and also grew up with two cats and a corgi at home. I have experience giving medication to each of these animals and even some experience giving injections. My husband, Orlando, and I love animals and work most of our Rover appointments together. At home we have two cats and a hedgehog! I’m pretty flexible and almost always have time in the mornings and in the evenings after 4 to stop by and check on/walk/play with pets. I am happy to housesit during the week or on weekends. While housesitting I am happy to make time for daily walks and try to be attentive to when your pet needs to go out. I’m very flexible and try to leave every home as I found it or better! If your pet has toys I will always engage in play time and try to keep them happy and entertained.

About: I have a dog myself (4 years old) and I understand how hard it is to find someone to take care of your dogs while you’re away. I would absolutely love if you trust me to watch your babies and I will send you lots of pictures and updates if you’re comfortable with that. I’m a graduate student at Appalachian State and live super close to campus so I’m at my apartment most of the day when I’m not in class. I am quite flexible, I do live in an apartment so a lot of what I’ll do with be out and about or playing with my dog if they’re good together. I am available to watch them often and I’m the only one on the home so you don’t have to worry about them running away for any reason.

About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbours for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and do not have a dog while I am here. When I am home, I walk dogs multiple times a week. I have a fenced garden and one very gently dog. My dog is quite small, so he likes many short walks, while my previous large dog like longer walks.

“Our girls love Maddigan. She has lots of experince working at vets offices/ emergency clinics, which we liked and she had a very friendly yet professional attitude. Her communication has been 100% on point. We would definetly use her again!”

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.
