6. Linda F.
“Linda is simply the best! After trying with several cat sitters (who just weren’t right for one reason or another) I am so glad to have found Linda. She is caring, communicative, and took excellent care of my cranky cat. She went the extra mile in cleanup & left me a lock box to store keys. I wouldn’t dream of hiring anyone else. She makes me want to travel more often! Thank you Linda we hope to see you soon!”

13. Ashley L.
About: About me: I currently have a lab mix named Smiles, who was a foster turned forever. My parents currently have rottweilers who I visit from time to time and I grew up with Rotties when I lived at their house, so I am not afraid of big dogs. I also volunteer at an animal shelter. I have been volunteering since about 2016, so I have experience handling unfamiliar dogs that I am just meeting for the first time. While volunteering, I have taken classes on dog behaviors and can spot when your dog (or other dogs they might meet on the street) are stressed and will know when to diffuse a situation before it becomes serious. The safety of your dogs and for others around them is my number 1 concern and I take that very seriously. I have had a love for dogs since I was a child and will treat your dog with the same love they receive at home with you! I currently work during the morning most days, so I am available after 4pm when I am scheduled for a shift or all day when I do not have shifts. I would need a few days in advance to plan what time I am available. I will follow any house rules when I am in your house and comfortable with learning new schedules. I understand some pets need there space and will not over crowd those who do not like affection.
14. Marci F.
“Marci is the most responsible and genuinely good person I know. She goes above and beyond for animals and has spent countless hours caring, feeding and nursing animals for many years. She’s kind and patient and she would be a great fit for anything that includes helping and working with animals. You will know you made the right decision by letting Marci help you with your animals”
15. Felicia S.
“Felicia is wonderful! She treated our dog royally! We will definitely be calling her again.”
16. Christina M.
About: Hello fur parents! My name is Christina. I started dog sitting at the age of 12 by helping my family when they were away and fell in love with it since I always wanted a dog growing up. I grew up taking care of kittens, cats, fish, and guinea pigs so being able to watch a wide variety of dog breeds makes my young heart warm and fuzzy! I dabbled into the dog industry as a daycare attendant for 2 years. I gained valuable skills in training, feeding/portioning food, collecting data on health concerns, fight prevention, learning and observing dog body language, and recieving CPR/ first aid training. I own a dog named Fiona. She is the sweetest pitbull mix with a silly personality. I have spend my free time teaching Fiona commands and tricks when she wants to listen. 😂 I enjoy taking her to the dog park, taking her out for pup cups, going to new exciting places to sniff and explore, and also taking daily trips to petsmart. On that note, I would love to connect, bond, and give all the attention to your furr babies! I currently work part time as a 1-1 with a client M-F for 7 hours each day in WCU. My weekend availability is pretty open. I enjoy taking Fiona to the dog park, using puzzles/treat balls/kongs, and playing. I will provide daily check ins, physical/mental exercise, daily texts/pictures, can take them to dog park, anything that makes you feel comfortable. I can follow any list you provide.
17. Li B.
“Li was so friendly and accommodating, working with us even though we had a last minute schedule change. Our kitty was recently diagnosed with diabetes and Li made the process of leaving the house for the weekend stress free and easy. We will definitely be rebooking with her every time we plan on being away for a few days! Would definitely recommend her services!”
18. Twanakay T.
“Thanks you ever so much for your great care if Brynn! For all those reading this review I would like to give TwanaKay a glowing reference/recommendation! She is professional, trustworthy, communicates well, generous with her time and most importantly, compassionate I have an extensive professional life and I felt calm and secure with her in my home without any single worry this week! She is responsible and accommodating. Finding someone you vibe with and trust in your home with your fur babies is hard but I trusted her instantly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving animal care giver.”
19. Destinee S.
