House Sitting in Hampton

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

“Grace was great with Max. He always likes staying home when we take a trip without him. Really appreciated Grace watching him.”

“Christy went above and beyond for my kitty while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was very proactive with communication. Left my home in tip-top shape and went above and beyond when a flight got delayed unexpectedly. I would re-book with Christy 100%.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.

“Lisa was absolutely amazing. My babies took to her right away, and I'm sure they will miss her until the next time. She kept me updated and left my home as she found it. Will definitely be using her whenever I travel!”

“Opal is my go-to girl! Highly recommended, she's great with big dogs, little dogs, yappy dogs, cry baby dogs like mine and my 90 lb red nose pitbull is always happy to see Opal! She probably gets more cuddles than she does from me!”

“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”

“Heather was wonderful pet/house sitter for our dog. It was the first time we left him with someone that wasn't family, and he did great. She sent us updates and pictures twice daily. It was nice to see he was being well cared for while we were away. She also took great care of the house and left it possibly cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend Heather!”

About: I have experience in training puppies as well as older dogs. I am all inclusive when it comes to fur babies. I have a pit bull named Nina and a cat named Cricket. They are both my best friends and I totally understand just how important it is to find someone to truly care for your pets. I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes all the way from Mastiffs to Yorkshire Terriers. I’m here for all of your fur babies needs. I am currently working part time and going to college at ETSU. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and take care of your fur babies. I can work in the morning, afternoons, and evenings. I can work the day of request but prefer at least one day before that to make sure that I can give enough time to your fur babies. I live in an apartment so unfortunately I can’t board your dog but I can board your cat if you are okay with them playing with my female cat Cricket. I can separate them if necessary and discussed prior. I love watching dogs or cats at your home. It’s preferred for me because it keeps them the most comfortable. I love to walk dogs and have previous experience in this. If your dog has any triggers such as other dogs, men, loud noises, or even crowded environments please let me know so I can meet your fur babies needs fully, safely, and completely. This is truly my passion and I cannot wait to be able to fulfill any and every need for your pets.

“Always great!”

About: I am good with training and obedience but I am very patient and understanding when it comes to behavior. I am very caring with special needs pets or senior pets. I am available anytime, I do not have anything that would get in the way of caring for another pet. my schedule is usually free i will diligently stick to your feeding and potty schedules, pay close attention to your dog's body language, and keep them safely leashed or inside

“Caitlin did a great job with our two girls! One was recovering from a stomach surgery and Caitlin was able to administer medication and special food on last minute notice. We could tell from the pictures that she sent that our girls were comfortable and happy. Caitlin was very communicative the whole stay. We will be booking again in a few weeks! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

About: I have 20+ years of canine experience, providing expert care for dogs of all ages. I have experience working with both young puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met with care and attention. I am skilled in training and handling, and providing safe transportation. I have managed, owned and operated doggy daycares, ensuring daily play, socialization, and individualized attention. Every dog in my care receives loving, professional, and reliable care. As a dog mom myself, pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I pride myself on owning happy animals by providing constant care and attention. In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

“Monica was awesome! She was easily the best sitter I’ve had for Hucks. She was so communicative and sent tons of pics of them having fun together. She was so kind and helpful. I can’t recommend highly enough!”

About: I’ve helped take care of every animal you can think of! Having a big family gave me plenty of opportunities to learn and grow with different animals I attend college two days a week and work the night shift at my job! My day starts pretty early so I have a little too much free time and would love to spend it caring for animals! As long as the animal is provided with every basic essential it needs I will go above and beyond to tend to every need your pet has
