“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a natural love for animals. Attentive to each pet’s unique needs, providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment while owners are away. Experienced with dogs, cats, and small animals—treats every pet like family. I have experience with special needs, and senior pets, as well as potty training puppies. When I meet with family, questions are answered in order to arrange the best schedule for you and your pet. Currently pet sitting is my full-time position, which allows flexibility to keep your fur baby as close to their usual schedule. When caring for a pet in their home, I do my best to keep the same routine and care that the parents keep. Ongoing communication, learning about each individual animals personality, likes and dislikes, and any medical concerns are important to make sure your pet is getting the best care and you have piece of mind while you're away.

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm and am comfortable around all types of animals and pets. I’ve been caring for several clients’ dogs and cats for years now and hope to expand my services to other people in my area. I live in Lake Toxaway and can travel to the Cashiers, Sapphire and Brevard areas. I am flexible and can be available on short notice as well as extended stays. Animals love me and I love them! I treat all pets as if they are my own while they are in my care. I can pick up your mail, water your plants and watch over your house if you are away for an extended amount of time. I am married and have two grown daughters and four cats at the moment. They range in age from 3 years to 12 years. I love gardening and most outdoor activities. I can provide reliable references upon request.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

About: I am an experienced pet care provider with years of experience having had pets of all kinds since I was born. I have some experience with obedience training and I love playing with and walking dogs. I work as a pet care provider full time and have a very flexible, generous schedule. I can’t think of any better way to spend my time than caring for animals. I spend a lot of time with pets. They are like my children. I pet them, talk with them, play with them, groom and walk them regularly. They are allowed on the sofa and our bed but our dogs do happily sleep in their crates at night. That’s not a necessity for your dog if your dog isn’t kennel trained. We are flexible.

“Great Dog Walker my baby was well taking care of she did an Amazing job!!”

About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. I am currently in college at USCA and I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.

About: I’ve grown up around Animals my whole life and currently have a mini farm. I’m experienced with almost every type of animals including bunnies, reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and live stock and have been house sitting since I was 13. I am a huge advocate for animal assisted therapy and am currently attending college to get my degree in order to bring animals into my work as a psychologist. I’ve taken care of plenty of animal emergencies and even revived dying chickens. I’m not scared of getting dirty or anything else that comes with with taking care of your animals. I also enjoy sending picture updates whenever I can so the owners know what is going on with their pet. I would love to come watch your fur babies for you! I am currently in school three days a week and for only a few hours on those days, the rest of my time is free. I prefer to follow a daily check list of general tasks, then I play with them and their favorite toys or just give them company depending on your pets needs.

“Lily was remarkable. She was always on time. Report cards were always filled out, pictures provided. She always worked with me to change things up on how to give the dogs their walks, etc., with very little notice, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have grown up with all sizes and types of dogs and cats as well as other animals such as reptiles. Taking care of animals fills me with a sense of joy and love that you can't get anywhere else. I have a cat of my own that I take care of every single day as well as helping my partner take care of our dog and their 2 cats. I will not be bringing pets to my home, as I do not have a home adequate for pet sitting. Thank you so very much. I have my adorable loving cat that I take care of daily! I make sure he gets exercise, he has water, and his food it good to go. Weekly little box cleanings and bowl cleanings. I make sure that I take care of my pet and others pets by following the rules and guidelines that have been set forth in front of me. Whether that be your basic care for the animal or a person's personal preferences on how they would prefer their pets to be cared for.

About: Experience in: ✅Vet care (medicating, mobility issues, monitoring vitals, etc) ✅Puppies, including whelping and new litters ✅Reactive, nervous, and aggressive dogs ✅High energy/drive working dogs ✅Training — from potty training all the way to reactive dog confidence building I work full time with horses, but am flexible enough to care for animals any time of day! I need a few hours daily dedicated to working training horses, timing can be flexible, so your pets will be my focus. No matter the service, your animals will be treated like they are my own. From my senior rescue dog, to my young nervous aussie, all the way to my cat and horses — all my animals are treated with respect, love, care, and patience. I understand animals can be upset and nervous when their owners leave, and strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible when you are away. I’d want the same for my own family of animals!

About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

About: Our dogs are our children! My pack is made up of seniors with special medical needs as well as hearing and vision impairments and am very competent in meeting those needs. As well as being an avid runner, loving active furry friends to walk, run or hike with! I have open availability. I can be available for overnight care, daily visits, walking as well as care in my home for any family or dog. I have a large fenced in back yard. I also live on a cul de sac in a lovely neighborhood. Allowing for safe walks as well. Caring for animals is what we do! My schedule flexibility can be constructed around your pets and family's needs. I have the space and time for dogs of all personalities! Each pet is different and special in their own right and I discuss individual needs and expectations so families and pets are cared for with the utmost consistency. Pets are family so caring for them is our daily life not a routine. Their comfort and well-being is our top priority. My day is usually based around those needs! In the way that is most comfortable for them and their family. Through great communication and understanding their specific needs. Usually, the dogs and cats are very good communicators!

About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.

About: i work full-time night shift at a no-kill dog rescue, so i’m basically used to every type of pup out there — shy, dramatic, wiggly, and even the “just had surgery, carry me like a noodle” ones. i’ve had dogs my whole life and currently i’ve got three rescues and 2 cats! i’ve got experience with special needs pups, meds, and post-surgery care, and honestly my whole life pretty much revolves around animals. if your dog needs love, patience, or just someone who speaks “woof,” I’ve got them covered. i work overnight (full time) from 2am to 9am taking care of doggies, so pet care fits right into my routine. i’m already in “dog mode” pretty much 24/7. when i’m not at the rescue, i’m home with my own pets, so adding a few more furry friends to my day is super easy for me. when i’m in your home, i treat it and your pets with the same respect i give my own — i follow your rules, your routines, and your comfort level. your space stays clean, your pets feel safe, and i make sure everything is exactly how you left it.

About: My first job was at a German Shepherd training facility when I was 16. I was responsible for bathing, feeding, exercising, and playing with the dogs! I was one of their main caretaker for a couple years. I was also the primary puppy trainer at the facility. I’ve also had dogs of my own my entire life—big and small, and I absolutely adore dogs and love working with them. It makes me truly happy and relaxed to be with animals and I’m trying to find a stable living doing something I love! I’m currently looking for work, so I have plenty of free time to walk or watch your pets! I would really like to be a full time dog walker for a while. I’m 22, so I’m young and I have lots of energy to play and time to spend with your babies. I would like pet care to be apart of my routine daily Monday-Friday! I’m also available to walk or watch pets over the weekend/long periods of time! I live on a farm, so I have lots of space for your pets to play and run around on! I also have a very sweet and friendly dog of my own that would keep your baby good company! I can easily crate your pet if need be, I have various sizes here and lots of room for storage. I would totally understand wanting your dog to stay at home in their normal environment as well, so I would be more than willing to travel and stay at your home with them while you’re away!

About: I'm a fun loving individual that loves animals. I am a big believer in getting outside and being active. Exercise and friendly faces are not only important to people, but animals as well. Those simple things make life fun and exciting. If it is walking or checking-In, I am here to help and would be happy to do so. I welcome in all cute and fun loving dogs. I have a lab myself that is very playful. His name is Ranger, and he is just really attentive with my children. As most dogs are, Ranger loves attention and has just added so much to life in general.

About: I have been caring for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs to rodents and horses since I was 12 years old. Since then I have fully trained my own dog to do basic tasks but also to “find” things (such as an inhaler for my mom) and stand with her back to my calves if we are in crowded areas. I am always learning new ways to better care for pets and new tricks for my own dog! I have just graduated from university so I am currently searching for a full-time job in my field. That means for now I am completely free to help out with pets whether that means walking, drop in visits, or house sitting. If I am coming over to housesit I will likely be at the house for the majority of the day and stay over at night too (or whatever the owner requests.) I am completely flexible and open to negotiation.
