“Jimena was an excellent sitter. I was visiting NC with my family and was very glad to find her to stay with Benny, our Coton de Tulear. She has a beautiful place for daycare and boarding. She sent me photos and videos and was very caring with Benny. I would definitely book with her again next time I’m visiting North Carolina!”
“Our experience was outstanding! Amanda was very kind and accommodating to us and took great care of our sheepadoodle while we went to a tennis tournament in Hickory. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog throughout the day to show how much fun she was having. They have a fantastic shaded fenced in yard where our dog was able to run around and play. We cannot be happier with our experience and will absolutely take her back the next time we have to be away.”
“Lane is great with our dogs and so sweet to accommodate a last minute booking when we unexpectedly couldn’t take our dogs with us on a short trip. Our dogs love running and playing with his dogs in their large fenced shady back yard and I love that they are treated like one of the family at Lanes. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs from a very young age on and I worked at a dog kennel for 5 years! I have experience in potty training, training puppies, oral medication, and more! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have owned both small and large dogs. I currently work from home M-F 9:30-5:30 pm (as well as most Saturday’s)! I am able to give your pet the attention required so we can have the best stay together! Your pet does not need to be crate trained, but I do ask that they are okay in a home for max of 2-3 hours if I need to leave in the evening for errands. If you have a puppy or special requirements, just let me know ahead of time!🩷 I live in a townhome directly next to our dog park! I am able to take your pet on daily walks as well as play with them to get out any energy. I can exercise your dog as much or as little as requested! I do have one dog in the home, Haven, who does amazing with all dogs. If you have a dog with aggressive tendencies, I do ask we discuss it before booking! I want to ensure my dog’s safety as well as yours!
About: Hello! My name is Heather. I'm a 28 year old Boone local. I have 10 years of paid experience as a pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, horses, cattle, chickens, and ducks through ownership over the years. I have professional experience working at a dog kennel for 5 years. I have worked with special needs animals including diabetic, handicapped and elderly as well as newborn animals. I have a home with 40 acres of land so I can offer boarding services for most animals and provide plenty of interesting hiking if your pet stays with me. I'm home three times during the day (morning, lunch and evening). That gives me plenty of time to provide potty breaks often during the week. I offer in home pet care and boarding. For clients wanting in home care, I can stop by up to three times a day and I can occasionally offer overnight care. For those wanting to board, I provide a safe environment with lots of room. I have house with a large amount of land and safe places to walk and play. I have room and experience with safely isolating your pet if there are issues with aggression or if you aren't comfortable with your pet being around other pets. Potty breaks are provided every 3-4 hours for dogs and longer walks or play at least once a day
“Mrs.Kara is absolutely awesome. I have never felt more comfortable leaving Lola with someone. Lola walks into Mrs.Kara's home like she belongs there and comes home so sleepy from playing all day. Mrs Kara communicates so well and takes so many pictures! I will always choose Mrs.Kara!!”
About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!
“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”
“We’re expecting our first child so it was so important to find the right sitter to watch our fur baby! He had a great time I loved receiving the pictures. I can’t thank Jill and her family enough!!!”
About: I love animals! I was raised around animals all of my life. My parents had a hobby farm, complete with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, emu's, sheep, ducks, pigs, etc. We bred and raised dogs of all kinds: huskies, dalmatians, chihuahuas, beagles, labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and so on. Since my childhood, I've helped feed, care for, and even administer medicine to our animals. I moved to Lexington KY in the Fall of 2010 and decided to take care of others' furry friends while they're away. I started and ran my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 7 years. I ended up closing down to do some traveling. But I sure miss getting out and spending time with my furry friends. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just out for the day, it will be my Joy to take care of your pets. From midday walks and home visits, to puppy breaks and house sittings, I'll treat your pet as my own, and make sure they get plenty of lovin'. “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s what I try to live by. And I’ll bring that ethos with me everyday to Caring for your seeet fur baby or babies.
“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”
About: I love dogs and am unique because I provide not only a safe and comfortable environment for my clients' fur babies, but also personalized attention and care. My compassionate approach ensures that your dog(s) feel loved and cared for while you are away, and my years of experience give my clients peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. At this time I am only watching dogs that do not shed. I work from home so I am always available to attend to your pet’s needs and play with them as much as they want to! I enjoy going on multiple walks a day and cuddling up on the couch in the evenings. I live in a safe and clean location with lots of grass surrounding our cabin. I can personalize my care routine based on your needs and love pampering dogs.
“Kailan and James are absolutely fantastic. They are very responsive, accommodating and treated our dog as one of their own. By far the best pet sitters we’ve used throughout the years. We will be booking their services again when we come back. Highly, Highly recommended!!!”
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.

Madelyne S.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Madelyne as a pet sitter. She has cared for my dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and plants on several occasions, and I have consistently been impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for animals. During the many times that Madelyne has looked after my fur babies. She has always been punctual and meticulous in following the care instructions I provided, whether it was administering medication, maintaining a feeding schedule, or providing exercise and companionship. She’s also always been prompt in communicating any time we reached out just to check on everyone, even sending pictures and videos when we were missing them. I have always felt at ease leaving my pets in her care, knowing they are in great hands. I confidently recommend Madelyne for any type of pet sitting position. She is a responsible, compassionate, and skilled caregiver who truly cares about the well-being of animals. I am confident that she will provide exceptional care for your pets, just as she has for mine. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Brittany Brockway”
