Pet Sitting Burnsville

About: Have always had lots of animals growing up and as an adult. Animals seem to feel comfortable around me. I enjoy their presence and will give them lots of love. I have a fairly open schedule. I work part time as a CNA. Live in a rural area but can travel to surrounding cities if needed. We have hosted dogs in our home, outside in our yard or have gone to their home. Available for walks. Also have an outdoor kennel if your dog is not friendly.

“Dawn is such a good pet sitter. Our cats are normally very reclusive around new people, but took to her immediately. We couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely use her in the future.”

About: *Newly located to Burnsville NC and available in The SC Upstate!!* Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been a trusted house and pet sitter since 2018, originally serving families in southern Western North Carolina and now proudly offering my care for homes and pets here in Burnsville! In addition to pet care, I am a professional makeup artist in the wedding industry. My artistry career allows for a flexible schedule, making this a true dream duo profession. Both roles require attentiveness, discretion, reliability, and a calm presence- qualities I bring into every home I care for. I’m a big animal lover and this work nourishes my soul. I understand my rates may be higher than some providers on the platform. They reflect my experience, the personalized attention I provide, and the care I take with both pets and homes. I book thoughtfully and value quality over quantity. My time is important, and I approach each booking with professionalism and respect- which I greatly appreciate in return. As a devoted cat pawrent of four, animals are truly part of my heart and home. I have a particular specialty in senior pets and those with special needs. I’m experienced and comfortable administering medications, including insulin, strictly according to your veterinarian’s schedule. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and calm energy, especially for older or medically sensitive pets. I specialize in long stays and understand the elevated level of consistency and stewardship required when you are away for extended periods. I am deeply committed to maintaining your pet’s established routines so they feel secure, steady, and completely at ease in their own environment. I also take exceptional pride in how I leave a home. During overnight stays, I thoughtfully maintain lived-in areas, refresh sheets, and ensure spaces feel orderly and cared for upon your return. I tend to go above and beyond- because I believe your home should feel just as welcoming as when you left it. I offer a limited number of recurring weekly walks. I’m experienced with leash-trained dogs, E-collar systems, and properly trained off-leash work when safe and appropriate. In my previous community, I maintained consistent walking schedules with select families- something I genuinely enjoyed and look forward to establishing again here in the Lowcountry. As mentioned above, I am a professional makeup artist in the wedding industry, which allows for a flexible and thoughtfully managed schedule. Pet care is intentionally woven into my routine, and I carefully book my calendar to ensure each client receives dependable, attentive service. Whether for daily walks or extended stays, your pet’s care and consistency remain a priority. My approach centers on routine consistency, attentiveness, and respect for both the pet and the home. I carefully follow established feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to ensure pets remain settled and at ease in their familiar environment. I am dependable and flexible, and I will treat your fur family with the same care and consideration I give my own. References are happily available upon request. I truly appreciate the opportunity to serve your family.

“The sisters were great help. They showed up on schedule - we know due to a security camera - and took good care of our dog. We would hire them again.”

About: I believe that pets deserve an abundance of respect and understanding, as well as optimal attention and care. In general, I tend to feel more comfortable around dogs and cats than people and treat them all with dignity, respect, and love. I have had decades of experience with a variety of pets, from blind pugs to anxious mutts to timid cats and everything in between. I believe pets must be addressed on their own level and met where they are. As a middle-aged woman with many responsibilities and experiences, I am adept at managing a wide variety of pet tasks with conscientiousness and skill. You can be confident that your dogs and cats will be in safe and loving hands with me while you are away. I am a freelance writer and work only part-time from home, so I have an abundance of time to be fully in the moment with your pets and provide them quality care, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I have a wonderful husband who loves animals and 16-year old son (who also adores animals), and a 20-year-old son studying at Chapel Hill, who helps me with the dogs in my care when he is home for the summer and on breaks. Currently, I have a wonderful, small group of regular dogs who come for daycare most days of the week. I always make sure prospective dogs are a good fit with the group to ensure safety and an optimal experience for all the dogs. We love meeting new dogs and welcome having new playmates here at "Camp Dewdog." These guys have so much fun here, romp around the yard, hide in the shrubery, zoom around the porch, and go on walks in our Montford neighborhood to see the goats and chickens down the street or to the Reed's Creek Greenway, or Hummingbird Park. There's never a dull moment here, except when the pups are sacked out on our porch swing bed or lounging in the house on the sheepskin rugs. Your pets will be cared for with the same dedication and attentiveness as with my own pets. Dogs can either roam and lounge in our large Victorian home or frolic in our lush fenced yard and porch. Montford is also a lovely neighborhood to go on walks with dogs, with lots of parks nearby, resident goats and chickens down the street at our friends' house, and Reed's Creek Greenway just around the corner.

“Katy was great! Easy going and very communicative. Made sure our kitties got the attention we wanted to make sure they had while we were away. Would definitely rebook!”
