House Sitting in Laurel Bloomery

“Having CJ watch our two Corgis was perhaps the best choice we could have made. While we were gone, Duke caught and broke a toenail while playing with his brother. CJ contacted us immediately and the ROVER Vet and then got Duke the care and attention needed from our local Vet. The care given by CJ was AWESOME. By the time we got home Duke was healed and running around the yard with his brother. We would be happy to have CJ watch our little guys again in the future.”

“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!”

“Gracie was the absolute BEST with my babies all week. I did not have to worry about leaving them with her, she took the best care of them! It’s always hard leaving your pets when you go on vacation, but it makes it easier and more enjoyable when you have a dog sitter you can trust. I will definitely be rebooking with Gracie next time we go somewhere! I wouldn’t trust my babies with anyone else. She went above and beyond for all 3 of our dogs.”

“Abby has watched our dog a few times and has done an amazing job! She is caring, a good communicator, and takes great care of the house and yard as well! She always leaves the house as clean as we left it. Most importantly BB loves her. Our dog has some anxiety issues but is always so happy and stress free when Abby watches here. Abby is always our favorite dog sitter!”

About: I have cared for pets since I can remember! I grew up with two sisters who also loved animals and over the course of my life I have loved many small dogs, cats, turtles, fish, a bird, and a rabbit. I also gained a good amount of experience and knowledge on how to take care of pets through my time working at Pet Supplies Plus, where I would often advise customers on what would be most helpful to get their pets feeling good again. In my time here, I also cared for and helped heal many creatures, including cats, fish, cockatiels, ferrets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I love bonding with pets and I find it really fulfilling getting to care for them as I get to know them. I have cared for others pets several times throughout my life- largely neighbors and family. Most recently, I got to pet sit while traveling and house sat for two lovely homes in Scotland. I care a lot about making sure that spaces are maintained and I am happy to do any household chores that may arise. I am currently in summer break from my university and I have a rather flexible schedule! My hours available may change depending on the week, but I will have plenty of time to play with your pet! Once my school semester begins, I can be free after 1 on Wednesday, before 5 on Thursday, and any time Friday-Sunday and Tuesday. I know the best trails to take your pup around in the WNC area and if they have a preferred place to walk, I always love exploring more! I believe in fitting myself into the natural routine of your furry friend wherever I can. If there's a specific time they like to play, eat, or get walked, I'm more than happy to accommodate! With pets that I'm just meeting, I like to meet them where they want to be met, and if that includes playing fetch all day, I'm happy to do so.

“Everything went great and we felt comfortable while we were gone ! They have a great big back yard to run and play in, & Melissa kept us updated while we were away ! We even had “special needs” as our lil guy just had knee surgery 6 weeks ago! So glad to find a good place to help us while we had to go out of Town a couple days !! Thank you ?”

“Emily is absolutely fantastic. She loved on our babies and took great care of them and our house. She’s super responsive, very likable and has a genuine love for animals. She sent us tons of pictures and updates which made our stay away from them much easier. We’ll definitely be using Emily again.”

“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs since I was a kid, so caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing to administering medications or calming nervous pets. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working as a full time student just doing this on the side so I’m always at home unless I’m getting groceries or little other stuff. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and stress-free, with plenty of space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and any special instructions—to keep things consistent and familiar. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, cozy space with plenty of love, supervision, and enrichment. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal routine, and keep communication open so they always feel informed and reassured. Above all, I build trust through reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care—because I know pets are more than animals; they’re family.

“I have two dogs with very different personalities. Kitty was wonderful with both. Her dogs are very friendly and the crew quickly got to know each other and got along quickly. Kitty has a wonderful way of working with dogs. I will be asking her to take care of the pups again in the future!”

About: I have been fostering & training animals for rescues and shelters since 2009. I enjoy fostering because it helps more animals in the long run, I am great with animals that are unruly & have vet technician experience, so you can be sure your animal is in great hands when at my home or in my care, I love cats, dogs & caged animals & will go above and beyond for them. I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail. I own my business and work from home on my own schedule so I can work around my animal care schedule if needed. I have a 6 month old but can and will refrain from contact if needed. I have pets of my own as well as fosters at any given time, however my house is split level and plenty big enough to separate my animals from visiting one's to ensure safety.
