“Skyla was really responsive and our pup was happy upon our return. She checked in about her eating, took her on walks, sent photos and updates and overall seemed great with our dog. We really appreciated her flexibility and care!”


About: I have grown up with all sizes and ages of dogs from an elderly black Lab to a baby Maltese Shitzu. I love all types of animals and have pet-sat for many people, including coworkers, neighbors, and roommates. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University living in Boone for the summer. Then moving to Greenville, NC in the Fall to attend East Carolina University for graduate school. I am available anytime! To care best for your animal, I will respect the space and privacy of your home. Please provide specifications so I can ensure all guidelines will be followed.
About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbors for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and I am in Boone for the summer. I would love to come walk and spend time with your animals! I am highly flexible and attentive to the specific needs of your pets. I have no pets while in Boone so your animals will be my only commitment.
“Pheobe was super easy to work with and did a great job with our three cats. She handled kitty digestive issues and wild kitten energy with grace and even kept the house tidy in the midst of cat chaos! Would recommend ☺️”

About: Reliable pet sitter for over 10 years and experienced in puppy training, senior care, medications, and routine-based care, providing attentive, personalized support for every pet. I want to make sure your pet receives loving care when you’re not there. I am a student but I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable walks and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I can make most any time or day work! I care for pets in familiar, stress-free environments, maintaining routines, cleanliness, and safety while providing gentle, attentive care. I prioritize safety by following instructions carefully, keeping environments clean and calm, and treating every home and pet with respect.
About: Hey there! I’m Christine! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of experience in dog walking and sitting. Growing up, I was always surrounded by furry friends, and that passion has only grown since then. I believe every walk is an adventure, and I love to play and have fun with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention while they’re with me. I will also treat your dog with the same love I give to my own family. My schedule is pretty relaxed especially now being summer so I will have much time to care for your pet's needs practically all day if necessary! I have been taking care of my own dogs for years and will be able to ensure that they are safely kept inside/outside during the day and in their proper sleeping quarters for night.

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: I absolutely love animals and have been pet sitting for a while now and have also grown up with both dogs and cats in the home. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats since late high school. Back home I have 2 dogs, German Shepard(11F) and great dane/German Shepard mix(1M) and I have a cat back home as well who is 12. I have experience with animals of all different ages, from 5 months to senior(16 years) with dogs and 3 months to about 12 years for cats. I also have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, I have one of each and have cared for other people's as well. I currently do not have work and am available all day Friday through Sunday. During the week I have classes but am available to drop in for pet care before, in between, and after classes. I follow the client's instructions exactly and ensure that the clients pets get the care they need.
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 grew up beside a high energy husky pup who was my very best friend and the one who taught me what it means to love animals deeply. My mom modeled what it looks like to truly care for your pets as family, always prioritizing their exercise, comfort, and happiness. Now I have two pups of my own, and I finally understand what it means to devote your every day to their care. It can be stressful at times, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Raising pets really does take a community, and I’m so grateful for the one I’ve built here in Boone. Because of it, my pups are always supported, able to socialize, and infinitely loved. I want to make sure you and your pets have that opportunity too. I work part-time at Watauga Opportunities and recently graduated from Appalachian State! I’m always looking for extra ways to move my body, so dog sitting and walking gigs are truly a luxury for me: a chance to do something I love while helping others care for their pets. I'm available most weekends and am happy to work around your needs! I have a fenced in yard for playtime at my home, either solo or with other dogs. I like to keep a consistent routine for the animals I care for, so I’ll do my best to match their usual schedule and make them feel right at home. As for dog walking, it's important that your pup gets the adequate amount of exercise for their breed- so of course I will try to match that as well.
About: I've been loving my cat and dog for a good 15 years, and have plenty of love for your babies too! I'm comfortable administering meds and caring for older animals. From my volunteering, I can handle many temperaments. I'm confident in walking a good few miles as well. I'm currently working part-time, and its the summer so Im out of school and have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! I'm officially only unavailable on Tuesdays from 4-6. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I have a fenced in yard with an older pup and a calm older kitty. It's just my Mom and I at home, so a calm, quiet environment. We've got a large backyard and plenty of energy to provide if needed!
“Cassie was wonderful. I’m a nervous pet mom if I have to travel and Cassie was so wonderful with my dog and communicating with pictures and updates. Already planning to book her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I know how to train and love them endlessly! I will ensure that they get the best care they deserve! Most days I am done with classes by 3, and can walk your dogs however far you may want! Most weekends work for me at any time as well! I know how to gain their trust in the beginning. I’ve make sure they are comfortable with me before we continue anything. Their happiness is all that matters!
“Anaiah did amazing with our girls! Our cat needs medication multiple times a day, and she administered them as requested. Our picky pup likes having the tv on when she’s alone, and she provided that as well as all her other little side needs. Anaiah didn’t hesitate to ask questions about them/their needs which I appreciate a ton! To me that shows she cared about our girls and paid attention to details we forgot to mention. We got pictures and updates throughout us being gone! If she’ll have our girls again, we’d love to rebook in the future!”

Caroline was great with our fur babies. She handled all of my instructions and their needs with professionalism and love. Our girls loved her. They talked to he all the time. :-) thank you, Caroline for making their experience a wonderful time!!!! We would definitely request her as she is available and meeting our schedule.

We were so grateful she could watch our senior babies during our wedding & honeymoon. We were nervous to leave them for so long, but she quickly made friends with all of our pets. She sent us photos each day, and reassured us that everyone was well. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter.

Maya was absolutely incredible with both my cat and dog! She updated regularly, had great communication, and sent lots of pictures. They both were very happy and content when I got back and our home was left in excellent condition. Absolutely would book her again!

Ellie is PHENOMENAL. I have a young, large, strong, reactive dog. Ellie bonded with Thea so quickly, and I felt perfectly safe leaving overnight, knowing that Thea would be safe, well cared for, and that Ellie could handle any incidents that might come up on their walks. She provided photos and updates, and left the house super tidy! I would highly recommend her, and I will definitely be using her again!

I can’t recommend Margaret enough. She was so sweet and patient with our senior pup and genuinely cared about her. I was nervous going through the rover app for the first time because I’ve heard some horror stories but after meeting her, all my anxiety was gone and I felt super secure leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me many updates and pictures and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. HIGHLY recommend!
