“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”


“Casey was great with our rambunctious, high energy dog. He came to the house, timely. Spent time outside with him, playing fetch and wearing the dog’s derrière out, so when I got home, after long, 12 hour shifts, the dog was content. This helped minimize any destructive behaviors, I might otherwise have had from a high energy dog, after being cooped up for 13 hours. He even played in the rain with him. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.”


About: 7 years of loving your pets. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and joy-bringers. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m surrounded by animals and nature. Whether I’m hiking a quiet trail with a furry friend by my side, playing fetch in an open field, or simply relaxing on a porch after a long day outdoors, I find happiness in the simple, grounded connection that dogs and the natural world provide. I value patience, kindness, and structure — all qualities that guide the way I care for animals. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job — it’s who I am at my core. I am a dedicated and compassionate animal care professional with hands-on experience in canine enrichment, behavioral observation, and facility operations. At Woof Pack Pet Services in Boone, NC, I served as an Enrichment Counselor, Kennel Attendant, and New Hire Trainer, where I led tailored group enrichment sessions to promote dogs' mental well-being, trained new staff in safe and effective animal handling protocols, and developed individualized care plans for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I also administered medications, monitored health changes, and maintained strong communication with both clients and veterinary professionals to ensure timely care. At Mills River Dog Camp in Mills River, NC, I expanded my leadership skills as a Shift Supervisor, managing the daily care of over 50 dogs, supervising staff, and implementing training and de-escalation strategies for anxious or reactive dogs. I’m experienced in maintaining detailed health and behavior records and have consistently prioritized both animal welfare and client satisfaction through attentive care, structured routines, and open communication. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just getting someone who knows how to follow instructions — you're getting someone who genuinely cares. I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or a little extra anxiety. I treat every animal with the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I believe in clear communication, both with animals and their people, and I always aim to provide peace of mind through consistent care, safety, and respect. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my life and a true passion. Daily, I dedicate time to understanding and meeting each animal’s unique needs—whether it’s through enrichment activities, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Over the years, I’ve developed routines that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of pets in my care, balancing structured schedules with flexibility to respond to individual behaviors and health changes. Weekly, I continuously update my knowledge on animal behavior and care techniques to ensure the highest quality of service. I am now seeking to turn this dedication into a full-time career where I can combine my hands-on experience, love for animals, and commitment to their welfare to make a meaningful difference every day. I tailor my pet care approach based on the environment and individual needs of each animal. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and engaging space with plenty of enrichment activities, consistent routines, and close monitoring of health and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I focus on maintaining consistency to reduce stress, providing companionship, administering medications if needed, and keeping the environment clean and secure. Communication with the pet owner is key to ensuring their pet’s needs are met and any concerns are promptly addressed. My priority is always the well-being and happiness of the pet, adapting my care style to create a positive, trusting experience whether at home or theirs.

“Christian is very reliable. My dog was happy and well cared for. I was able to do what I needed to do out of town and not worry about Bode. I definitely will ask him to take care of Bode again in the future. 👍😁”


About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

About: We are a husband and wife team who have experience with dogs from cradle to grave. We have potty trained multiple dogs and provided senior care to another. Our greatest experience is with small and mid-size dogs, but we also enjoy working with large dogs. Available 7am to 7pm each day to care for your pet, allowing for their routine to remain the same. Thus allowing your comfort and theirs to be maintained. Care offered depends upon the needs of the pet. We’ve worked with dogs who need play time and snuggles, while others have been independent and needed nothing more than food and a trip outside. I strive to build a relationship with our furry companions that will help me understand what care they need. We are happy to provide all care from playing, to feeding, to administering medicine, or even assisting pets with special needs.

About: I love dogs!! I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, and clients for over six years. I have experience with all breeds and sizes. I treat every dog like I would my own: with love, care, and extra treats😉 I work at a restaurant, so my shifts are short (around 5 hours). Sometimes I work lunch and sometimes I work dinner. My availability throughout the day varies based on which one I am working, but I can adjust my schedule if need be! I am very flexible and can switch shifts around easily. Regardless, I am free every morning before 10am. I am very respectful of other people's homes and I leave things exactly as I left them, if not cleaner. I follow instructions closely and thoroughly to ensure a happy client and a happy pup.

About: Hello! My name is Jenelle, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner. I’ve had the joy of volunteering at the Animal Shelter in my hometown and fostering where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’m passionate about being outdoors, staying active, and enjoying nature, and I’m fortunate enough to live just down the street from the beach where my dogs love to play. I’d be excited to bring your dog along for some fun in the water, letting them run, splash, and burn off some energy! I promise to provide your dog with plenty of love, care, and attention, ensuring that their time with me is both fun and fulfilling. My goal is to make this a great experience for both you and your furry friend! I currently work remote for an emergency management consulting firm. Working from home allows me to be more flexible with my pets’ needs throughout the day. I can give them attention during breaks, take them on walks, or play with them when they need exercise. Feeding times and any medication schedules are easy to maintain since I’m around all day. I also make time for regular grooming and weekly checkups to ensure they’re healthy and happy. Overall, my pets are a big part of my day, and working from home allows me to be present for them as much as possible. I treat my pets like cherished family members. Their well-being is a top priority in my home, so I make sure they have a comfortable, safe environment with lots of love and attention. I keep a routine for their feeding, exercise, and health care to ensure they stay happy and healthy. Whether it’s taking time for play, giving them their favorite treats, or making sure they get regular vet checkups, I go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved and cared for every day.

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to take care of animals. For the past 3.5 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician. I pride myself on understanding each pets’ unique personality and needs. I am confident in my ability to provide the best possible experience for you and your fur babies! I work full-time at an animal hospital. I am available before and after work, and all day on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. If it is close enough, I will be able to check in on your fur baby between 12pm-2pm. I am able to check in on your pet periodically or stay overnight if needed. Either way, I will make sure your pet(s) get all the attention and care they need!

About: I have been raised with all types of animals. Family and friends have trusted me to stop in for quick visits and also spend the night and care for babies for extended periods of time. I currently am taking online college classes and working part time so I am capable of working my schedule around when I would need to be available for you and your pets needs. My own pets have their own crates, and are friendly. I also have 3 cats that are used to being around dogs of all sizes.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, recently I’ve been at a doggy daycare/boarding. This has helped me with giving them medication and keeping everything clean, especially with the seniors. I have also volunteered at a rescue as a dog walker! Currently I am looking for small things, I’d be able to do small check-ins in the evenings due to me still being a full time college and Highschool student. However, the weekends I am mostly available. I’ll always most likely be able to figure things out schedule wise if needed! I would do whatever you requested in your home. I would check in on your animals (cats or dogs) and provide whatever they needed, like meds, food, playtime and whatever else you need!

About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else to care for your beloved furry family members! I come here with the assurance that I will treat your pet as I would my own: spoiled with love!! I've had dogs and cats and a variety of other critters my entire life, so I have the experience. I hope to have the privilege of taking care of your fur babies! I work full time currently, but I would like to build a pet care clientele enough to be able to do this full time instead! I am very protective of my own dogs, so I understand the importance of their safety. I will do everything in my power to keep your babies safe as I would with my own.

About: As a retiree who has had all types of pets thruought my life, I have more than 60 years of taking care of our pets who are also family members. I have had dogs, cats, fish, birds, bearded dragons, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am retired and currently have a cat. My cat loves to follow me everywhere I go. She sleeps on my head most nights.I know how important playtime is and give her as much time as she allows. I would not bring pets to my home. I would come to the clients home and do what ever is required including giving them lots of love.
