“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. I am a University student and will be leaving Wilmington on July 10th. However I do regularly return for holidays and will be back in December. I am a very diligent caretaker always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary!
About: I have never not had at least two pets in my entire life, I have also pet sat multiple animals in the last few years, specifically dogs and cats, but I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, rodents, invertebrates, and farm animals. I love all animals and also have experience admintering oral medication and specialized diets. I have experience with senior care as well as young animals. I don't mind specific requests and encourage specifics when it comes to the animal members of every family. I am currently available weekdays during the day, as well as some weekends.I do not currently have the ability to board animals in my own home. I can feed animals, play with, and walk them. I can clean Iitterboxes and administer oral medications as well as follow any specialized diet plans. I can stay in the home with your pet or take them out for a walk or to the park.
“Cyndi saved our last trip as a family before our oldest goes off to college. Our dog care plans fell through and Cyndi was both flexible with our schedule, as well as our large and timid dog. I cannot thank her enough.”
“Lillie checked all the boxes perfectly for our needs. She was attentive to our two dogs (one older and one younger / energetic) and our cat. We felt confident and comfortable with our “kids” in her care. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.
About: Hi! I have taken care of animals my whole life! I am 20 years old! I currently work at a doggy daycare! I Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!! I am currently working full time at a doggy daycare ! I just moved back to Statesville after being gone for 4 years! I lived here for almost 15 years haha! I worked at an animal hospital before this job and I loved it! I had to quit because of me moving it was too much gas! I make sure they have food and water, I make sure to give lots of love, make sure they go outside! I always make sure they are okay!
About: I grew up with pets which ranged from dogs to cats to chickens to a horse. I currently have a 8 year old Boxer and 1 year old cat who I rescued from a shelter! I would love to have a goat farm one day and be able to do goat yoga. I enjoy being around all pets, especially dogs. I think that all animals are special and deserve to be treated with lots of love. As a pet sitter/walker, I can come visit with your pet to provide food/water, playtime, walks, any other care that is needed to support your pet(s)/family and provide lots of love! After our pets are family. I work full time at a school but school is out so I have more time to spend with your pets as well as my own! I can crate your pups if preferred. I can walk your pup and send you updated photos on how they doing! I will provide your pets with lots of love!
About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)
About: Dog care is done at my home. Except for an occasional errand I am home throughout the day and evening. You'll have peace of mind knowing they are secure while spending time inside and outside in a large privately fenced yard with lots of shade. Physical, emotional, & psychological stimulation in a private home setting is invaluable compared to placing your pal alone in a commercial kennel. I provide a place where they can socialize, be loved and release some paw energy at no extra costs, in a stress free trustworthy environment. Remember a tired dog is a good dog. Social interaction is a necessity. They will also benefit from a clean indoor, stress free, safe supervised home. I would like to meet you and your pal by booking a MEET & GREET before securing a long term reservation. This helps to be sure we are all a good match for one another. It's time well spent where we can talk about your dogs personality, home routine, eating etc. M & G are usually done at my home. And last about 30 mins. I can also arrange to meet at a mutually agreed public location. I respectfully ask that only you, your dog, and/or your significant other be in attendance for the M & G. It's best not to bring children under 18 years of age. I do provide discounts for extended stays over 15 days and multiple dogs from the same household. Although I do not have a breed preference, I do have a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of each dog in my care. I do not accept dogs that are aggressive. This includes food aggression, toy aggression, a dog with a rough play style or dogs with a strong prey drive. In addition to Rover I also have private clients. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and accurate. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have. I look forward to putting your mind at rest while you are away and spending time with your best friend. I enjoy being outside with my dogs and guest dogs. I can to take and send pictures of them a few times during their stay. If you don't get a photo everyday it doesn't mean anything is wrong, we are probably busy playing! No one laments more than I do when I leave my pal! MEET & GREET A MUST- COVID SAFETY PROCEDURES STRICKLY FOLLOWED. EASY CURBSIDE DROP OFF AND PICK UP AT MY HOME. I REQUIRE ALL DOGS HAVE PROOF OF CURRENT VACINATIONS-FLEA AND TICK MEDICATIONS-MY HOME AND YARD IS PEST FREE AND SANITARY-YOU CAN BE REASSURED YOUR DOG WILL BE CAREFULLY AND LOVINGLY CARED FOR WITH MY ATTENTION AS I AM HOME FULL TIME- My yard is sanitary and comepletly secured with 6' high wooden privacy fence allowing plenty of room for your pal to excersise and explore. I accompany all dogs while out of doors.
“I can't say how happy I was to find Amanda! I am new to the area and finding a trusted sitter was such a relief. My kitties were happy, very well cared for, and mom and dad got to rest easy and know they were in good hands while we were away! Will definitely be booking again.”
“We came to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, but didn't want to leave our four Shelties unattended in our RV at the campground. I found Amanda on Rover and contacted her about booking a visit. She was so easy to work with. She came over to our RV the day before her scheduled appointment to meet us and get acquainted with our dogs. On the day of our train trip, she showed up right on sent lots of photos and a complete report on our drugs and her visit. 5 stars for Amanda!”
