Pet Sitting Cane River

“Knows exactly how to make friends with cats. Had them rubbing up on her and getting pets right away. Also knows cat routines and what to expect. Highly recommended.”

“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: I have been pet sitting for the last 5 years as well as being a nanny for 4 children aged newborn to 5 years old. During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household. I love playing with and entertaining the higher-energy extroverted pets and enjoy quiet cuddle-time with the more laid-back, philosophical ones. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. **For the foreseeable future, I'm searching for an additional part-time job, so my availability for overnight stays, daily check-ins, and dog-walking may vary from situation to situation. I will communicate proactively and adhere to all the house rules and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce your pet's anxiety at your absence. I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

“Becca was extraordinary. She took exceptional care of my cats, she communicated beautifully, sent pictures of my special needs babies so I knew they were okay, spent extra time with my neediest boy. I wish I could give her a million stars because she was that good. I WILL hire her again to take care of everyone because she was so responsive and responsible that I know my kidlets are in terrific hands!”

“Emily dropped in on my 2 old pups while i was a away for a day. She was great! Sent photos, updates, and the dogs had a great time. Id love to use her again 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.

About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue sanctuary for 10+ years. As a caretaker my duties at the sanctuary require demanding physical labor, housekeeping, and responsibilities of supervision over animals and other volunteers. We had over 100+ different types of animals and always have been around dogs and cats! They are my joy! I work 2 full time jobs but I have mornings, evenings and weekends open! I am looking for something that will fit into that kind of schedule. I have no animals at home. It is safe and a very clean environment. I am the most respectful and will aways listen to what you and your pets need.

“Johnny has been exceptionally kind, helpful and quickly connected with our animals- dropping in to assist in our home with elderly pet parents.”

“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.”

Jay H.

“Alex did an absolutely amazing job with my animals while we were out of town getting married. He was completely unfazed by 4 dogs and a cat, all running wild. He took such great care of all of them, sent the most adorable pictures of them, so we never had to stress that our babies were in good hands. Phenomenal job, we will gladly have Alex come back again any time we need a sitter ♥️”

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.

“Maria is great! My pup, Symone, loved her immediately and I could tell from all the pics how happy she was with Maria ❤️ it made me feel so relieved to know my pets were in good hands! Will book again!”

My home is your dog’s play-and-snuggle paradise! Either toys, walks, and comfy spots to nap, I make sure every stay is fun, safe, and full of love—so they can’t wait to come back.

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.
