Dog Sitting in Doswell

“Kiera was wonderful. She bonded quickly with Cary and she would greet Kiera at the door with her “purr engine” humming. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend Kiera. Her love of all animals is quite apparent. I don’t often leave on trips, but Kiera is at the top of my list when I do. Five stars. Would hire again.”

About: Hi! I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets! I've owned dogs, guinea pigs, a hamster, and a few fish. In years past, I have pet sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, bunnies, and even a bearded dragon! During middle and high school, I spent 3 summers volunteering as an intern at a local veterinary clinic. Since then, I've completed courses in animal welfare and first aide. My own dog, Bonsai, currently participates in Duke University's Canine Cognition Center. I've also trained Bonsai to do many different tricks and she is currently learning agility courses elements! I love working with all sorts of pets to provide the best care possible. I'm currently working part time and am enrolled in classes at a local community college. Even with work and school, I have lots of flexibility to help in providing you with all of your pet care needs! I look to provide the best standard of care I can and maintain open communication! By providing updates with each visit, pictures of your pet, and keeping records of your pets activities I hope to keep your worries at bay.

“Branden watched our kitties for the first time in early July and we could not be more appreciative! (Sorry for the late review Branden, this is not a reflection of your service but of my inability stay on top of my emails!) He came to our home twice daily to clean litterboxes, replenish food and water, and check to make sure everyone was ok - he even provided daily updates and was so easy to communicate with! We felt very happy to know that the kitties were in such good care and we will DEFINITELY request his services again the future! Thanks, Branden!!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up in a home where we always had up to five dogs at a time—ranging from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I have plenty of experience keeping up with high-energy pets who love to run, play, and explore. There’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on a dog’s face during a good walk or a fun play session! I’m a firefighter/EMT, which means I work 24-hour shifts—but only about 9 days each month. This gives me plenty of free time on my days off, and I’m often available for pet care during weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and flexible, especially for last-minute bookings or ongoing care needs. My fiancée and I share our home with two Australian Shepherds and a Border Collie—so I’m no stranger to energetic, intelligent dogs that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Even on our busiest days, we make sure our dogs are well-fed, loved, and cared for. I bring that same level of commitment to every pet I look after. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own.

I dedicate time daily for walks, feedings, play, and anything else your pet needs. I create a safe, welcoming environment for pets by following their routines and providing constant supervision. I maintain a clean space, use pet-friendly products, and ensure clear communication with owners for trust and peace of mind.

“McKenzie did a great job looking after our cats while we were out of town. She was punctual, polite, and communicated with us daily. Our cats were comfortable with her and were able to stay in their home, instead of a small cage while we were away. We also enjoyed the pictures she sent. We would be happy to work with her again! Thank you!”

“Hailey is terrific! She took the time to understand the needs of our three rescue puppers at our meet and greet, and was very attentive for the drop-in visit the next day. She even made friends with our bashful boy who is afraid of strangers and we received a wonderful picture of them cuddling. I would highly recommend Hailey and will certainly book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my two family dogs my whole life. My first dog was a 30 pound cockapoo who lived to the age of 15. I grew up with him learning how to feed him and take him on walks. I even learned how to be gentle with him in his old age to ensure he was happy and comfortable. My other dog is 9 now, he is an 80 pound mutt who has lots of energy and I feed him, take him on walks, and play with him in and outdoors. I can handle all kinds of things pets love to throw at their owners and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I am currently in school, so my work schedule rotates around my classes and whenever I am able to care for your pets I can! I can do overnight visits or drop in between my classes. Whatever’s convenient for you!! I will ensure to treat your home and pet with the upmost respect and ensure everything is exactly the way that you would like it. When caring for your pet, I’ll be sure to take every precaution so that they are safe and your privacy is respected. For example, locking gates behind me, closing the door all the way so no one escapes, and closing the food bin so no one can break into it! I will strive to do whatever will make you and your pets the most comfortable.

“I’m happy to say that Sydney was very communicative. When there was a concern. She took pictures at the visit and responsive when I sent a text.”

About: We are just a dog lovin fam. We love the adventure of having different dog personalities around. Currently, my husband and I have 2 rescued Rottweilers, both of whom we've raised from puppies. My home sits on a large property with a secure, fenced-in dog pen, providing a safe and spacious environment for you pets to play and explore. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'm flexible to support different needs. Let me know how I can support you and your dogs! I have a dog pen on a large property & two fur babes to keep your pup company. I have a crate available if needed!

About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.
