About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all types, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by animals as my mom owned a pet store, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently help care for my sister’s and my cat, Stormy, and recently said goodbye to our senior Yorkie, Lola, who taught me so much about gentle and attentive senior care. I’m a go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, medication, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to make sure they can get whatever they need while you’re away. I graduated from Appalachian State University in December and currently work at a nonprofit art gallery in Boone. My schedule there is Tuesday through Thursday, which leaves me available most Mondays, Fridays, and weekends for pet care. I’d love to use my free time to help care for your pets! I am available for daily walks, drop-in visits, including providing food and fresh water, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I provide attentive and reliable care that fits your pet’s specific routine and personality. During walks, I prioritize safety and engagement, making sure your pet gets the right balance of exercise and enrichment. I’m attentive to leash manners, surroundings, weather conditions, and your pet’s comfort level. If your dog loves long, energetic walks or prefers a slower stroll, I will tailor each outing to their needs. I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow your usual schedule and household routines to help them feel secure while you’re away.
About: I grew up on a farm and so I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was a child. I’ve had many dogs and cats as well as other farm animals so I have a wide range of experiences. I am capable of both infant and senior animal care if needed as well. I am currently a student and working part time but I have lots of time before and after my classes and work to care for animals, I have a car and live close to the town center of Boone. I have my own cat who I take care of but I love to spend time with any animal I care for making sure they get enough socialization in addition to any feeding or cleaning they might need.

About: Along with cats and dogs, I have cared for many exotics such as reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also a senior in college and work as a vet tech for an emergency clinic. Due to this, my schedule is constantly changing so my calander on rover isn’t always accurate, but I try to be as flexible as I can :) Owners are guaranteed to receive multiple pictures of the their pet(s) while in my care. I will follow the instructions given and always ask the owner first before an action if unsure.

“Always goes above and beyond. My dog is often skittish even with walkers that he’s had before, but after meeting Sarah once he is always so excited to see her, even when it has been weeks since they last played together. Wonderful sitter!”

“I highly recommend Emerson. She walked my one-year-old Golden Retriever Jackson 3x a day for a week. When she came for her initial visit, I could immediately tell she was an animal lover and would treat Jackson as if he were her own dog. I also instantly saw how comfortable and confident she was walking a larger, energetic puppy – she had complete control. Throughout the week, she was incredibly prompt, professional and reliable. She gave regular, detailed and fun updates throughout the week. I could not recommend her more highly.”
