North Wilkesboro, NC, 28624

About: I love dogs and cats and grew up with both in my home since I was a baby. I have pet sit on the side for friends and family and have loved it. I love to play and cuddle and walk your dogs. I live in the North Wilkesboro area. I have one dog who is 2 yrs old and loves friends. I am an administrator by trade so dedicated, hard-working, and responsible. I am clean and tidy so you don't have to worry about coming home to a dirty house. I don't mind cleaning up after myself or your pet. I work full time 8-4:30. I am home on the weekend. I spend my nights and weekends with my dog so we can easily include yours as well! I have one 2 year old female dog. She is fixed, trained and won’t be a problem. We go on walks and I have a long chain for the dogs to explore the yard with. I live in a safe neighborhood with no worries of issues. I treat the dogs like family. They can be on furniture and I normally do not crate my dog. If yours needs crated I have a spare room so they can feel safe and not upset not being with my dog.

About: Hello! I am Katrina. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in Recreation Management and a double minor in Non Profit Organizations and Animal Sciences. I am located in Clover, SC. I absolutely adore animals; that love started from our family dog, my yorkshire terrier, Buddy. I have a lot of different availability so definitely feel free to contact me and so we can work something out. I love meeting new people and pets. I have not only taken care of my own dog but many of my friend pets as well. In addition to that, I have experience working at a doggy daycare and grooming salon along with field experiences from school with a multitude of farm animals. I am a super quick learner and am so excited to meet many new animals. :) I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR certified and Pet Emergency Academy Reptile, Amphibian, Avian, and Small Mammal Emergency First Aid Certified. I am looking to build my pet care experience with doing Rover along with my job. My schedule is flexible which is why I’m always open to communication, figuring out how I can help you and your pet. I will follow any instruction you give me. I am comfortable crating a dog if uncomfortable situations arise. Reading body language is something I think is super important and practice often when handling animals. Constant check ins while I am with your pet is also essential in my care.

About: I grew up with two dogs in my house, a pug and an English lab. I have extensive experience caring for animals and have cared for many pets for neighbors, friends, and family since I was in my teenage years. I am able to walk high energy dogs and have the flexibility with my schedule to spend 30 minutes to one-hour visits if needed. I just started a new job in Boone which means I have more flexibility in the spring/summer, less in the fall/winter. I can commit to short but frequent visits and/or longer drop ins that can include a walk and some play time. I am able to drive to your house and safely care for your animals. I grew up with animals and around animals making me comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I am extremely detail oriented and have wide experience house sitting and dog/cat sitting. I enjoy getting animals outside for walks or taking them to a dog park for fresh air and new smells.

Gracyn did a fantastic job taking care of my dog!! We also have a cat, and she was nice enough to give us pictures/and updates on both of them in the checkups even though we only requested it for the dog. On time, super flexible with her schedule, and she communicated with me each time to make sure she was taken care of while I was away! Definitely will keep Gracyn on the top of my list!

About: I've been loving my cat and dog for a good 15 years, and have plenty of love for your babies too! I'm comfortable administering meds and caring for older animals. From my volunteering, I can handle many temperaments. I'm confident in walking a good few miles as well. I'm currently working part-time, and its the summer so Im out of school and have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! I'm officially only unavailable on Tuesdays from 4-6. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I have a fenced in yard with an older pup and a calm older kitty. It's just my Mom and I at home, so a calm, quiet environment. We've got a large backyard and plenty of energy to provide if needed!

With very little preparation on my end, Kayla swooped in and took good care of our dog. My dog is very timid, and through the photos she sent me I could see that he was more than comfortable and happy to see her! I was very grateful for her quick response and willingness to help on such short notice. I would love to reach out to her again I’m the future!

About: I have been taking care of animals for probably about 6 years now. I became a certified dog groomer, have been doing private pet sitting, and dog walking in that time. To summarize, I just really enjoy animals in general and would love to meet yours! I am currently looking for jobs. I have so much time on my hands. What better way to spend it than loving on your fur baby! I have lots of room to run and play outside. A big yard with lots of trees! We will play fetch and tug of war together.

About: I have lived or been around animals ever since I was five years old. I personally have two dogs and a cat and two dogs back home. I have plenty of experience with senior dogs as my oldest poodle was fifteen before she passed. My golden doodle was a covid-19 puppy, so I was home 24/7 with her and experienced all the fun that comes with the puppy stage. Many neighbors and family friends have requested I watch their pets while away on vacation or just for the day. If the owner allows it, I love taking dogs on car rides to the park or making a quick trip to Starbucks for a pupachino! I work part time and took the fall semester off so I have plenty of free time! Whether it be an early morning walk or bathroom break or late night check in, I’m typically available. While I can’t bring any animals into my house as I have pets of my own, I love going for walks in either the owner’s neighborhood or local parks. I have no issues with animals being in my car, so we could go anywhere the owner gives the “okay” on.

About: I currently do not have any pets, but have had multiple throughout the years. I am excited to gain more experience and to take care of pups or cats. I currently work as a remote event planning intern, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with pups! I have free time throughout the day and evenings, while being home for work! I can do whatever you feel comfortable with when caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and can take them on walks or can crate, if needed.
