About: With 30+ years of experience working with animals, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to every pet in my care. My background includes pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavior modification and training, and animal rescue. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a Master’s degree. I offer in-home boarding for dogs under 30 pounds, in-home pet sitting visits (including cat care), house sitting, and dog walking services. My veterinary and caregiving experience allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of medical and special needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and assisting with surgical recovery—from minor procedures to major orthopedic recoveries and rehabilitation. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs have had heart conditions, and two of those also experienced seizures, so I understand firsthand the additional attention and care that medically complex pets can require. I have taken numerous obedience and training classes with my own dogs and have extensive experience with training and behavioral modification. While your pet is in my care, my goal is not simply to keep them safe, but to help them feel happy, comfortable, loved, and enriched while you're away. Pet sitting visits are 20-30 minutes long and there’s no additional fee for additional pets. Overnights include staying at your home between the hours of 9pm-6am. Additional fees for lunch and late afternoon visits will incur if needed during overnight bookings. A Family Home for Your Dog I am a mom to three wonderful, animal-loving daughters and serve as the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I currently have three dogs of my own, and our family regularly welcomes foster and boarding dogs into our home. My children and dogs are accustomed to having new furry friends join us and genuinely enjoy welcoming them! Our boarders are treated just like our own pets. They are welcome throughout our home, including on the furniture, and are included in our normal family routine. I'm home most of the time, and when I do need to leave, it's generally for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. Our home also features a secured, covered deck attached to a fenced yard, giving the dogs a safe and enjoyable outdoor space to relax and play with us. We use baby gates throughout the home where appropriate to help prevent accidental escapes through doors, unsupervised access to stairs, and other potential safety concerns. Because I want to provide a calm, personalized experience, I do not board dogs from multiple families at the same time. Your dog will receive my full attention rather than being one of many dogs in a crowded boarding environment. Requirements for In-Home Boarding To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, dogs staying in my home must: Be comfortable and experienced around children and other dogs Be housetrained (pee-pad trained dogs are not accepted) Be current on vaccinations or have proof of appropriate titer levels Be maintained on heartworm and flea prevention Be neutered if male Be spayed if female, or not be in heat during the boarding stay Be crate trained, which is important for their safety during the brief periods when I need to leave the house Pass a required meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog—and that your dog is a good fit for our family You will need to provide your dog's regular food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off are available by appointment only between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. My philosophy is simple: when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family. I want you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat is receiving experienced, attentive, individualized care from someone who truly understands animals and loves what she does. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s just for quick errands or driving the kids somewhere. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.

About: I have volunteered at the Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehab in Waynesville, NC. I have 4 cats and 1 dog in my family home and I love all animals!! I am currently a college student at UNCG. I have lots of time to play and care for your fur babies after class and studying. I can follow all the rules for you and your pet. I can crate them if needed, let them outside and keep an eye on them. I will treat your pets with respect and relay any information to you.

About: I’m a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and believes they deserve the same patience, care, and affection they receive from their own family. I was raised around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs from a young age has taught me how to be patient with different personalities, recognize when a pet may be uncomfortable or need extra attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re someone’s family, and I treat them that way. Pet sitting is currently a part-time job for me, as I do have another job. I’ll primarily be available on weekends, but as I build my clientele, I hope to expand my availability and offer more flexible dates, including Sunday evenings and additional days for repeat clients. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! I’m open to providing a variety of pet care services, including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home because I have my own pet, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your house rules and your pet’s routine, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while making sure their food, water, medications, potty breaks, and other needs are handled according to your instructions. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”

“Brett was great with our dogs! We did a meet n greet the day before, and our dogs settled in with him fairly quickly when he came to house sit. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which was very much appreciated. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were so well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend Brett!”

About: Professional Dog Trainer & Pet Care Specialist | Safe, Structured, Reliable ⸻ About Me With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a level of knowledge and structure that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. My background includes: • Veterinary medicine • Professional dog training • Boarding facilities • Rescue & shelter work I am a full-time dog trainer and pet care provider, recently relocated from Washington State to North Carolina to continue growing my career and offering high-quality, reliable care. Dogs in my care benefit from a structured, safe, and enriching environment. I pride myself on not just supervision, but true understanding of behavior, communication, and needs. Whether your dog is easygoing or has behavioral challenges, they will be handled with confidence, clarity, and care. ⸻ My Property & Setup Your dog will stay on a private 2.5-acre property designed for safety and structure. What sets my care apart: • Escape-proof, secure environment • Crash-tested crates for safety and comfort • Outdoor kennel runs for fresh air and downtime • Climate-controlled kennel building • 24/7 video + temperature monitoring • Strict daily sanitation protocols • Individual walks and/or structured group play • 🐶 Dog pool coming Summer 2027 This is not a chaotic daycare - it’s a controlled, professional environment tailored to each dog. ⸻ Experience with Behavior Unlike most sitters, I am experienced in handling dogs with: • Anxiety • Reactivity • Dog aggression • Human-directed behaviors • Resource guarding (food/toys) Safety is always the priority for your dog, other dogs, and myself. ⸻ Care & Supervision • Dogs are always supervised when out • When supervision isn’t possible, dogs are safely secured in a crate or kennel run • Structured routines help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors 👉 All dogs must be crate trained to ensure comfort and safety during their stay. ⸻ Policies • Drop-off & pick-up by appointment only • 🚗 “Pet Taxi” (door-to-door transport) available weekdays only • Clear communication and punctuality are expected and appreciated ⸻ Meet & Greets To set dogs up for success, I have a structured meet-and-greet policy: ✔️ In some cases, owners may visit the property to view the setup ❌ We do not allow dog introductions while owners are present Why this matters: • Dogs are more likely to have altercations when over-aroused by their owner’s presence • Some dogs become protective or possessive • Owner anxiety can unintentionally impact the dog’s behavior This approach allows me to introduce dogs calmly, safely, and professionally. ⸻ Best fit for: • Owners who value structure and safety • Dogs who need clear boundaries and routine • Dogs who may not thrive in chaotic daycare environments ⸻ I treat every dog as an individual and prioritize safety, structure, and clarity in everything I do. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who truly understands dogs and provides a secure, professional environment—I’d love to work with you. 📩 Send a message to discuss your dog’s needs and see if we’re a good fit! Feeding times are available up to three times a day. Pups spend most of their time playing together out and about on the property, with short naps throughout the day in their kennels to allow for appointments and cleaning! All dogs are crated whenever unsupervised. As long as a human is available, the dogs are welcome to hang out about the property, in a kennel run, or chilling in the house. All kennels, crates, yards, bedding, etc are sanitized in between clients.
