“I had never used a dog walking service before, but I was in a jam and needed help fast. Holly, Josh, and Grace came through and got me scheduled right away! My dog can be a handful with his crazy zoomies, but they handled him like pros. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands, getting the exercise and attention he needs while I’m at work. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and care—I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve taken care of literally every single type of animal. 12 years of working history in the veterinary industry, but now I work in the medical field. I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week and have time to love on your pets! I’m skilled at basic care, but also assisted pet care such as diabetes, medications, mobility-support etc. I take care of all breeds and personalities. I work during the weekends, so any time of the week! I like to be out and about so venturing out for pet care works great! We have a fenced yard, 2 doggos who love everyone and everything, chickens, ducks, and 2 cats. I have an extra dog crate if needed.

About: I stand out through my dedication to delivering unparalleled care tailored to the unique needs of every dog. With specialized expertise in training puppies and providing attentive senior care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention, ensuring each furry client receives nurturing and enriching experiences. My commitment to fostering strong bonds and creating positive, memorable interactions sets me apart as a compassionate and trusted caregiver at Rover. I am retired and looking for walking activities to keep me busy with the things I enjoy the most, PETS!! I love being around them as much as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Exercise and Play: I engage the dog in activities they enjoy, such as walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them active and happy. Comfort: I provide cozy resting areas and ensure the environment is safe and secure. Medication: If required, I administer medications according to the owner's instructions. Dog Walking: Safety First: Before the walk, I check equipment like leashes and harnesses to ensure they are secure. Exploration: I take dogs on stimulating walks in safe areas, allowing them to explore and enjoy their surroundings. Hydration: I bring water for hydration, especially during warmer weather. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks.

“Was very responsive when I needed a dog-walker last minute and was able to pick up Luca early due to the rain! I am very appreciative of Courtney's care.”

About: My years of pet care experience range from animal rescue to boarding facilities to volunteer work to doc training and to hospital care so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I work in the animal field, and so it is a daily job for me not to mention taking care of my own personal animals My animals are my children, and I would treat others animals the same way. I believe in being respectful of people’s opinions and the ways that they take care of their animals.

“Iliana took great care of our dog while we were away! She was even available to drop back in when we were unexpectedly delayed getting home. We'll book her again for our future pet sitting needs!”

About: I have owned, grown up with, and taken care of animals since I could walk. The day that I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I actually went and picked up my Pitty MIx from the shelter and we were best friends for the best 11 years. Animals are misunderstood in so many different ways, and require patience, attention to detail, and most importantly love. I am very driven, schedule oriented, can multitask, and observant in everything that I do. I have a reliable source of transportation, my own home in Morganton, and will always be just a phone call/text away. I have taken care of all age ranges from puppies to senior dogs, because I have owned dogs from birth until their final days. Its not the easiest thing some days but it is the most rewarding. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday 0600-1630, and off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pet care fits into my routine because I have a dog of my own that requires daily walks and interactions with others at daycare. I have a fenced in back yard, that I am able to watch from at all times. My dog is allowed on the furniture and also goes with me on car rides. My dog is everything to me and is reflective of that in my pride with other animals. They're family!

“Kara was great!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid! My family has always had a dog in our home. I have ample experience with taking care of other people’s dogs. I have had some small jobs with taking care of a both a neighbors doggo or a friends! I am very familiar with the ins and outs of dog walking and I am sure me and your furry friend will get along just fine! I also have a kitty of my own and have ample experience with taking care of other people’s kitters as well! I’m currently in between jobs, so I can be available any time to walk, babysit, or play with your furry friends! I am local to Boone, so I can be booked without a whole lot of notice. I am very familiar with crating dogs as well as walking the slightly more energetic kind of pup. I am able to easily handle a dog during a walk if they see another dog or animal, as my current pup is of the energetic type.

About: Bring your beloved dogs to our tranquil woodland retreat, nestled in the heart of Lenoir, NC.

Our approach emphasizes positive reinforcement, allowing us to work with dogs of various backgrounds, from high-energy pups to those battling anxiety, aging gracefully, overcoming past traumas, or managing medical conditions.

About: I have worked in the dog training/boarding industry for over 7 years. I have raised dogs since I could walk especially large and stubborn dogs such as German Shepard’s. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs. I recently moved back to granite falls after training dogs for over 7 years to pursue a career in firefighting. And meet some new four legged friends I live near the dog park and a large park so we can take visits there or go throw a ball in the large field.

About: I genuinely say hello to animals before people. I am the go-to person to look after my friend's and family's pets. This is because they know that I treat their pets with love, care and respect and I always show up. My daily life consists of taking care of my dog "Elsa" and cat "Disney." I teach Art for a living and set my own schedule. This allows me to set aside time to care for pets when needed. I will always bring love, care and respect for pets and the home. While deferring to the owners about specific rules, key commands, and routines they have for their pets and homes.

About: I have been taking care of animals almost my whole life as I grew up with pets and have animals of my own now, but I also have 3+ years of experience as a primary care and emergency care veterinary assistant. I see pets as more than pets - they are our family and you deserve to have peace of mind that your pets are being treated as such when you are traveling. I have been trained in dog and cat CPR, and I am very observant, especially with animals who have special needs. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. At the moment, I can offer pet sitting, drop ins, and dog walking any day of the week. When I care for pets in your home, I will try to maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions you have, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or following a certain play schedule. During my visits, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and walks to ensure they stay active and happy. I’m also happy to send updates with photos or videos so you can keep track of how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and cats for about 4 years. My grandma has always had a dog who I loved to take on walks, feed and give lots of cuddles. I own a cat who I love to play with, cuddle and lay around the house with. I only work 4 days of the week 9-5, so I have ample time to pet sit, drop in for care or go for walks! I treat every pet with love as if they are my own and make sure to give them everything they need. Their happiness is very important to me

“Lauren was great and would definitely trust our sensitive furry friend to her care.”
