House Sitting in Franklinton

“Mary exudes dependabilty to me and a calm & loving spirit to my dogs. My dogs are seniors on medication and she was able to follow their medication schedule. She sent us pictures while we were away. The dogs loved her from their first meeting and we now look forward to planning a future trip knowing we have reliable pet care.”

“John was a fantastic sitter! He was able to watch our dog with short notice. He made sure to stop by for a meet up before watching her. He sent so many pictures while watching her and gave us many updates, which made us feel secure with him watching our girl. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I have administered medication for older cats and dogs, fed and rode horses, learned how to intervene safely in the event of a dog altercation, and love just spending time with pets of all types and sizes. As I kid, before everyone had a smartphone, I made fliers for dog walking and petsitting, and spread them in nearby neighborhoods. Throughout late elemtary school and middle school I did loads of dog walking and caring for pets while their owners were away. In high school my time was more consumed by schoolwork and sports, but I was still exposed to petsitting though my brother who did Rover constantly. I spent lots of time with him, and observed his tender and efficient care for the animals he looked after. Hello! I am a recent graduate from Appalachian State University with a degree in Agroecology (sustainable agriculture). In Boone I worked on a farm with livestock such as goats, chickens, and pigs. I also worked with children ages 4-14 for two years at High Country Forest WIld- an all outdoor experiential education program. I also balanced taking care of my two cats while having loads of schoolwork and trying to maintain a social life. Now I'm back home in the triangle and eager to continue working with animals, as its one of the things that brings me feel joy. Petsitting allows me a flexible job while I navigate this next chapter of my life and gives me another way to connect with the community in another way. I cherish each chance to meet everyone's furry companions & learn more about people outside of my daily rhythms. I am an avid hiker, runner, and nature lover, so am always happy to take along any pet that's down for an adventure to the nearby trails. I've watched houses with up to 7 dogs at a time, so I'm very comfortable with multiple animals and giving each one the attention they need. No one knows your pet better than you. So whatever information you would like to provide for me to know their needs while you're away would be appreciated. Such as the way they take their medication best, places they love to go, how they handle interacting with new animals/people, and any triggering behavior to look out for.

“This was my first experience using a house sitter. I was extremely apprehensive at first but upon meeting Teresa my apprehensions were put to rest. During her stay, Teresa kept an open line of communication and kept me informed of how everyone was doing. She gave me plenty of pics to reassure me that all was well. I am pleased with the quality of service Teresa provided.”

“Faith is the absolute BEST!! She not only takes great care of Jade, but is very communicative and helps out in a last minute crisis. We can’t thank her enough. We have solid peace of mind when Jade is in Faith’s hands!”

“Israel is AMAZING! He’s incredibly kind, and was so caring with my pups and I would 100% recommend him. I never leave reviews unless the service was exceptional and he is!!”

“Elaina was amazing with our three pups! She provides excellent care and is very professional! She left our home better than she found it. We completely trust her in our home!!!”

Lindsey C.

“Bryce took such great care of our two pitties while we were out of town for a long weekend! I got lots of pictures and she checked in often to give me updates on how the girls were doing. They had a blast and got lots of attention! She was very attentive to all of their needs and made sure they got plenty of play time and cuddles! I cannot recommend her enough and would love to have her watch the dogs again!”

Mary D.

“Zoe was fantastic- she took our dogs on with short notice and was extremely respectful of our house. Communication was excellent and our dogs were well taken care of. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

Brock R.

“Mae did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She maintained communication, sent picture updates and made sure the dogs and cat were well loved on. She even did a meet and greet without hesitation.”

“Kaity was awesome with our boy, BENJI, when she sat for him in our home. She was very nice and even face times me to chat. He was happy when we came home. THANK YOU KAITY!”

Amity D.

“The sitter we have used for the past few years is no longer on Rover. I contacted Rebecca and she responded very quickly and setup a meet and greet. Rebecca stayed at our house and watched our 2 dogs and cat. She was great with our animals and we felt very comfortable with her. One of our dogs got sick last minute and the vet prescribed medication the day we were leaving town. I reached out to Rebecca to let her know and she was very understanding and still willing to pet sit. She communicated during our trip and sent photos, and clearly our dogs were happy with her! Next time we go out of town we'll definitely be contacting Rebecca again! Thank you for taking great care of our pets!”

Amanda H.

“I highly recommend Paulina. She took excellent care of my energetic 2-year old husky. Paulina was sitting him in our home and made sure that Creed was comfortable while we were away. She was attentive to his needs, playing with him and giving him lots of pets and snuggles. Paulina frequently communicated updates throughout the stay. Will definitely reach out to her next time we need someone to keep Creed company.”

“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”
