House Sitting in Hickory

“Anita was awesome! She responded right away to any questions. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was 100% trustworthy and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our pets. Thanks for everything!”

“Excellent care of our dogs and our home.”

“She was amazing watching our pups. We were definitely nervous because we’ve never left them before and she did absolutely awesome with them. She kept up updated throughout the day the whole weekend with pictures and how they were doing. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”

“Michele did a great job of communicating with us and giving us updates on the dogs. Dogs looked very happy and content. We will call her again?”

“Katie was an awesome caregiver to our 3 dogs - one of which is a super-senior with physical and cognitive issues. She provided great care including Rx med administration.”

“I’ve known Alena for over 15 years. She’s the most kind hearted and caring person I’ve ever met. She’s also an owner of a very cute dog;)”

“Ace has house sat our 2 labs multiple times and always does a great job. He is prompt and takes great care of our dogs. We will continue to use him when we travel!”

About: My love for animals is bred into me. Generations of farmers,passed down to me. Iv had extensive experience with many animals. I’m comfortable around animals and they, me. Many clients are repeat customers! Wether it be a Housesitting request, drop-in visit or feeding-I’m there! Whatever it may be, I am very flexible and have great time managing. In the past I have taken care of dogs with cancer. Taking them to appointments in Charlotte and back home. Administrating medication if needed at home. I follow instructions given by the owners. Usually (just as kids) a list of instructions and contact numbers I request. Each client I make sure to schedule so that I won’t have to reschedule or cancel. I know the difficulty that can cause for the owners! Particularly when your promised a set appointment. I used to work in Government but I’m taking time off. I’m flexible, easy to work with and can manage many different jobs at once, depending on the circumstances. As always, I take care of pets as I would my very own! Same as a clients home! I consider it a privilege to be chosen to be caretaker of your pet while you’re away. And I know it’s important for them to feel at home..AT HOME. I do everything as requested and MORE to fully take their needs into consideration and by having you leave a detailed note that explains everything they need during the visit along with contacts- it makes everything so much easier!

“Gabrielle is a responsible and mature young woman who walked my dogs for me while I was out of town. I had no issues and would gladly request her as my Rover person again.”

About: Hi my name is breanna and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 20 years old. I'm 33 now so for a good while I dog sit my mom's dogs all the time I have 2 of my own. I have taken care of puppies as well I'm currently working from home so I have plenty of free time to come watch your furry babies or just come let them out for you I would make sure to always walk your baby on a Leash if there is no fenced in backyard or make sure gates are locked if you do and to make sure your baby is taken care of if scared of thunderstorms or fireworks

“I want to give a bad review, just so the secret of Suzanne doesn’t get out, but I can not. Suzanne was so attentive to our furboys, lots of pictures where Suzanne was playing with the dogs vs just the dogs playing alone. Suzanne was great with communication, sharing details and pictures of the day (playing, eating, sleeping…and asking questions if needed. We would recommend Suzanne and hope is available the next time we go out of town!”

“Megan was so attentive and patient. Our dog is very shy and fearful of new people. Megan was patient and took her time getting to know her. She kept us updated throughout the stay for our peace of mind too. We hope to work with Megan again in the future!”

“Rylee was amazing taking care of my furry kids. She sent pictures and kept in touch the whole time we were away which was for a full week. When I came home the bed linens were done and dishes done. Highly recommend for anyone that is obsessed with their dogs than I am. Can’t wait to plan the next trip now that I have found Rylee!!!!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I can remember. I've had dogs my entire life varying from puppies to senior dogs and I currently have a beautiful puppy who is training wonderfully and loves making new friends! I take her out on walks and hikes with me all the time, she loves going to the beach! There are good trails and hikes near me so your baby will have good opportunities to be active and healthy. My husband was in the Coast Guard and we just moved home to NC where I have become an accredited dog trainer with PetSmart! I have a good amount of free time during the week so I will always be available for your babies! Please let me love your babies as I love mine! Thank you. I have Mondays and Wednedays-Fridays off. I work mornings on Saturday and evenings on Tuesdays! I love to go hiking and would love to get a hiking rotation during the week in with some fur babies who love to hike as well! I frequent the Fairbrook Optimist Dog Park so if you're comfortable with letting me take them along, I'd love to! I, personally, have three hound dogs. They vary from puppy to senior and each take medication such as flea and tick. I have worked on training with them and became a dog trainer at PetSmart to further the enrichment in my babies lives.

“MacKenzie is passionate about dogs and cats, and caring for them. She's experienced, having worked at some kennels, where responsibilities included feeding, exercising and playing with animals, as well as, cleaning and maintaining kennels. She's very committed to animals, seeing them as reliant on humans, and unable to care for themselves.”

About: Hi, My name is Chelsea and I have much experience with handling pets. I've grown up with pets and as an adult I care for my pets on a daily basis. I have two dogs who love other animals that I care for daily and a cat that is friendly with dogs. I also have two children that are great with pets and have been around pets their entire lives. I provide all sorts of care for pets, your pet can either come to my house which has a partially fenced in yard and a partially finished basement. Pets will also have free range of the house and are allowed on the furniture and are welcome to sleep where they are comfortable. I can also come to your home to care for your pets if that is something that is more comfortable for the pet owner. I work from home and have a flexible schedule for the most part. Contact me with any questions. Thanks! I’m currently working part time and can make my Own schedule which allows me to be easily flexible for you and your precious fur baby I care for pets within their home and make sure they are visited frequently/cared for and feel comfortable while their humans are out of town

“I highly recommend Donald as a pet sitter. He did an outstanding job watching my dog, Dixie, while I was away on vacation. Not only did he take great care of her, but he also sent me daily updates and pictures so I knew she was in good hands. Dixie was well-fed, exercised, and loved, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable the whole time. Donald truly went above and beyond to make sure Dixie was well taken care of, and I am so grateful to have found him. I will definitely be using his services again.”

“Britney was professional and reassuring with my two dogs. We needed a dog watcher while we went on vacation. Demi and Meg received a lot more attention and love then they would have from a kennel. She gave them lots of walks and treat and were sad to see her leave when we came home. I will definitely be using Britney in the future.”

“Karragan is a kind, loving, nurturing person, especially toward pets. I have a pitbull who doesn’t let too many people come into our yard or house but he is always wagging his tail and excited when she comes over to dog sit him and take him for walks. He is always sad for awhile when she leaves and waits by the door looking for her. I also have a Boston Terrier that loves anyone who gives her attention, but she especially loves to be on Karragan’s lap the whole time she is dog sitting! I would recommend Karragan for dog sitting or walking. She has a very “calm” presence with the dogs and they seem to feel calm around her. She has been dependable and trustworthy the whole time she has been dog sitting for me.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, puppies especially. It’s safe to say animals are my entire life. When I was young I wanted to be a veterinarian but it wasn’t in the cards for me so I took up nursing. I have 2 dogs of my own and they’re my best friends. I love animals more then I love people because no matter what they love you unconditionally. My dogs spend most of their time outside in our fenced in yard playing with their favorite toys or the water hose. Currently I am self employed and I have a pretty free schedule. I am home 7 days a week and when I do work it’s for a few hours in the evening. I have a large fenced in yard along with my fur babies here for your baby to play with. If okay with you they will be able to sleep with me and cuddle with me as much as they please. They will have free roam of my house and be able to go outside when they please. I’m almost always by my phone so I can send you pictures and tell you all about the fun we will all be having together!
