Pet Sitting in Bryson City

“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.”

“Thanks so much for checking in on the kitties!”

“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 was great! She was communicative and punctual. She offered to do a meet and greet before our booking and the dogs loved her. She showed love, knowledge and professionalism. I am and have already booked her for more visits and an overnight. She has quickly become my regular and reliable sitter as I am new to the area and was in need. Thank you Lillie!”

About: My number one pet care skill is dog walking. In current life I have now, my family recently adopted an eleven month lab mix puppy who I have been helping to house train and potty train her. I live near a park with a track around it, so it makes it easy to walk her. My other skill would be getting dogs to like and trust me. Ever since I was four, I have had at least two dogs, which has trained me to give dogs a lot of pettings, talk to them, and play with them. Other specialties I have are feeding, watering, bathing, brushing a dog, and training a dog basic tricks, such as sit. Overall, I have had five dogs, in my life time since I was four, including a Jack Russel, Terrier mix, Pyrenees Poodle, Feist, and a Lab mix. Parting outside of dogs, I have experience with caring for rabbits, birds and fowl (chicken, duck, geese, guinea), and a stray cat. Hi, I am a second year college student, and also have a job in fast food. Dog sitting is my side gig, which making my hours limited. I am available all day on Sundays, available after 1:30pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and before 3pm on Saturdays. The number one way I will care for your pet at your home is by being attentive. I'll make sure that they are not doing anything they should not be doing. I will also ensure they have plenty of time outside for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. Furthermore I will keep an eye that they are fed properly, have plenty of water, and loved and cared for. Lastly, I'll make certain to clean whatever mess your pet may make and guarantee that your pet is happy and content.

About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!

“Brinkley, Thank you so much for helping us out last minute with Duke and Wanda! You left us with no worries while we were away! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you!”

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: 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.

“Tia is spending lots of time with our dogs and can handle all 3 of their needs. She sends fun photos, takes them on long walks, and takes care of the chickens too.”

“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.”

“Second time using Ashley for a drop in! She is invaluable!”

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.

“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!”

About: I have a ton of experience working with all kinds of animals! I have experience working at a dog boarding facility and several animal rescues including Mountain Mountain where I currently volunteer. I have also worked on a farm with 7 dogs and 30 other livestock. I have worked with dog trainers and medical professionals. I currently own 21 chickens and 3 cats. I also have 6 years experience raising goats if different breeds. Your loved one will be in great hands! Send me a message so we can meet! I am currently a stay at home mom and am available most of the time! Dog walking and pet sitting would fit in great to my homeschooling schedule! I am very respectful of privacy of your pet and home. I will always be the only person during dog walking and pet sitting time. I am a calm person and animals typically like that. I have experience in dog training and leash training to keep your animal safe.

“Julia was perfect with Maggie. On her first visit, she spent a long time trying to earn Maggie’s trust, and by the end of the three-day sitting, Maggie eagerly waited for her at our doorstep. Even when we got home, Maggie stared at the door waiting for her to come back again. We will call on Julia again in the future without hesitation.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets including cats, dogs, ferrets, snakes, etc for over 10 years now. I love animals dearly and will do anything to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. I work anytime, or any day except Mondays. I I have a part time job so I always have time to stop by in the mornings and afternoons. I love animals big and small furry or scaly claws or paws. They’re the best therapy you could ever have. And of course my favorite animal is cats
