“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 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!

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.

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.
