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: 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.

Coryne did a drop-in visit for Biscuit and Nugget and did a wonderful job. She was calm, attentive, and immediately comfortable with both dogs. Biscuit and Nugget took to her right away, which says a lot. She followed instructions well, has a great personality, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and recommend her to others.

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: 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: Hey there! I’m Christine! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of experience in dog walking and sitting. Growing up, I was always surrounded by furry friends, and that passion has only grown since then. I believe every walk is an adventure, and I love to play and have fun with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention while they’re with me. I will also treat your dog with the same love I give to my own family. My schedule is pretty relaxed especially now being summer so I will have much time to care for your pet's needs practically all day if necessary! I have been taking care of my own dogs for years and will be able to ensure that they are safely kept inside/outside during the day and in their proper sleeping quarters for night.

We were absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Elizabeth! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was kind, responsive, and incredibly sweet with our beloved Bailey. Elizabeth's attentiveness truly set her apart; she kept us informed every step of the way and was highly respectful of our home. One thing that particularly touched our hearts was the pictures of Bailey she sent after every visit. It gave us such peace of mind to see our furry friend happy and well-cared-for. Elizabeth's prompt replies to our messages only added to our overall satisfaction with her service. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire her again to take care of Bailey. Her kindness and dedication was evident in every interaction, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. A heartfelt thanks to Elizabeth for making our experience so wonderful!

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!

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!

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have experience caring for dogs, chickens, goats, and other traditional and non-traditional pets. I do have experience with cats, but I have developed a severe allergy to them and would only care for them if they are outdoors only. I have three dogs at home, a Golden Retriever mix, an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Beagle. I love all dogs of any size and age. I am currently a full time student. I am completely free weekends. Mon-Wed-Fri I have one class from 1-2pm. Tues-Thurs I have class from 9:30am-4pm. I am willing to do overnight care any of these nights, but for care during the day I would not be available these times. I am used to treating my own pets like family. They will usually sleep on the bed with me or rest with me on our couch. If your pet is used to a routine, such as crating, that routine will still be followed so they stay in their comfort zone.
