“Christy was available right away, same day and I am so thankful. I work a hybrid schedule and was called into the office last minute. We have a new puppy and yesterday was the first day he was home by himself I needed someone to give him a walk and a little exercise. Christy was very prompt in her response she sent me beautiful pictures and roll with the punches as we could not find the collar or leash. Thank you so much Christy look forward to using you in the future”


About: Passionate and dedicated pet owner for over 25 years including caring for family and friends pets. I'm skilled in providing personalized attention, administering medications and maintaining a safe nurturing environment. Twenty five years as a Registered Nurse and recently NAPPS Certified including pet first aid. I'm committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to my care. I am currently home full-time now, dedicating all my time to pet care. I can be available for same day visits. I understand the importance of reliability, trustworthiness and open communication. I provide compassionate and personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs! I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet's safety is my top priority. For safety and health of all pets in my care prior to boarding and daycare, I kindly ask that all dogs are up to date on their vaccinations ( DHLLP and Bordatella). Please provide proof of vaccinations prior to boarding. Thank you for helping me create a safe and happy environment for your furry friend while boarding in my home!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a toddler. I have fostered, pet sat for friends and family many times and recently lost my own dog of 13 years. I recently retired and miss having a pup in my life. I’m available and flexible for daily walks as well as able to provide boarding in my home. I am very attentive and loving toward all fur babies. I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.

About: I have animal shelter experience and as a result, have worked with several different types of animals with different personalities and am very flexible and capable of working with very different acting animals. I have a very open and free schedule so I'm able to come and check on the pets as often as needed. I can spend long periods of time with the pets when needed. In the clients home, I will care for them according to the clients standards and by following instructions down to the letter in order to prevent issues.

“Natasha has done WONDERFUL with my pup! She’s one of the few we’ve met that Bleu trusted right away and didn’t bark upon meeting her with me! She has been on time and Bleu seems to really be happy when I get home - so I know she’s doing great with her!”


About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10 years old! Horses, chickens, cows, donkeys, fish, hamsters, goats, sheep, rats, kittens, dogs, etc! I am happy to help with any pet needs! I have recently graduated from college and am working part time working towards full time! Pet sitting and care fit well into my routine as I typically work 4 hour shifts at a time leaving great time to check in with pets! My weeks are flexible just reach out if you have any questions! I try to have what is best for my animals including fenced in yards and proper food, cages, and medicines. Although I do not offer boarding, I will make absolutely certain your animals stay safe in my care!

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and made Dog Care my responsibility since my mother worked night shift and the care and responsibility was completely up to me at a very young age. I've defiantly been blessed to have had several dogs in my life and all of them have lived a long time. Newest family member just turned one and the puppy phase is very detailed oriented. She came into our lives after our oldest passed away at 19. So from young to old I've been able to care from them all. My schedule is open and set for studying. I plan to attend school out of state in the near future. Nothing is set in stone at the moment so other than keeping my face in the book I have freedom and time on my side Dog care experience combined with my time available for the needs of the dog should help your dog feel loved and cared for in the absence of its owner.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I currently have two dogs. I have been pet sitting on and off since I was a teen. I recently moved to NC and have an abundance of time since I left my corporate job! I would love to use this additional time to care for and hang with your pets! I am currently in a small apartment until we move onto our land. Due to limited space pet setting would be best in your place. I can accommodate another small dog or cat here though if needed! No fenced in yard but we walk and hike often so they get out.

About: 36 year old traveling nurse, animal lover just wanting to smother your pup or cat with love! I’ve had several dogs and cats throughout my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I’m currently working full time as a travel nurse in Olympia, Wa, originally from North Carolina. I work three days a week and my availability varies but with so much free time I would love to be able to help others take care of their pets. At this time I can only offer dog walking and home sitting. Growing up my family had larger rescue breeds so I have experience and ability to handle that if need be.


About: First and for most, I love animals of all kind! I am 24 and have two dogs of my own. I would say I am pretty particular about how I take care of my dogs so I would make sure your dogs got the best care. I have had animals in my life since I could remember and have been a reliable source for animal care since I was about 10. It’s something that I have enjoyed doing and love to meet new clients! You could not find a better person to watch your fur babies! I have a ton of recommendations from amazing people that have trusted me and continue to do so. I have trained dogs as well! Would love to chat and see if we would be a good match! I am a stay at home mom, I am doing this as my full time job so I will ensure they get all the time they need! I have a wild child at home (my husky mix) and am not afraid of a challenge! I take my dogs out multiple times a day to ensure they are comfortable and I’m meeting their needs. My dogs get fed once in the morning and once at night. Of course if I am watching your dog or cat, I can adjust to your animals needs.

About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life so I have experience caring for them. I have raised litters of kittens from birth multiple times. I also have a degree in wildlife rehabilitation which is helpful in pet care because I have experience with messy situations, baby animals and unexpected circumstances! My schedule is pretty flexible this summer. I’m typically always available after 5 and weekends. I’m also typically available every other morning but can stop by early morning if needed. I unfortunately cannot offer up my own home/ dorm but would do my best at the client’s home. I am more than willing to spend extra time with pets and ensure they are cared for and happy.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, from sweet puppies and playful kittens to guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and even goats! Growing up with such a variety of animals has given me a special understanding of their needs, and I truly enjoy showering them with love and attention. I’ve also shadowed veterinarians and worked as a kennel tech in high school, gaining hands-on experience in administering medications and managing feeding schedules. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog is comfortable or following a pet’s unique diet, I’m dedicated to providing the best care. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family, with all the love and care they deserve while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have mornings and evenings off with the bulk of my classes being held at lunch. I would gladly work around your schedule to make sure I can care for your pet and make your baby a priority! When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, I make sure to keep their routine intact, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of companionship and engagement to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. I’m experienced in administering medication and following specific care instructions for senior pets or those with special needs. Safety is a top priority, so I ensure that your home and pet are secure at all times. I also send regular updates, including photos or texts, so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I take care to respect your home by keeping it clean, picking up after your pet, and ensuring everything runs smoothly while you're gone.

About: I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments as a kennel care attendant. I'm also working towards my bachelor's degree in wildlife rehabilitation! I've owned all kinds of pets growing up from dogs and cats to mice, bunnies, birds, fish, and even a snake and a frog. I will treat your pets the same as my own, with respect and complete adoration. I'll even send you pictures of your pets during each visit for when you're missing your babies. I'm currently working towards a bachelor's of science degree, so I'll be pretty busy in the morning on weekdays (when in Banner elk, nc). My schedule usually calms down after 12pm, except Teusdays which are very busy. Please feel free to message me about what you're looking for and we can see if things will work out. I will not be able to stay at your house 24/7 due to my schedule. I will also have to go home for school breaks (winter/summer/spring). When I am at home (Newport News, VA), I will be available 24/7. Just message me and I'll let you know if my location has changed or will be changing before the date you need. But I will be doing my best to change my location on here in a timely manner. I'm a big advocate for playtime. I won't just stand around your house during the scheduled visits and let your dog be bored. We'll play with toys and run around and if you have a fenced in yard you can be sure I'll be out there throwing a tennis ball or playing tug of war with your pup until they're exhausted. I'll make sure our walks leave your dog well excersized and ready to nap for hours after we get home.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family home since the time I was born. Growing up, my neighbors would give me $5 a day to watch their dogs while they were at work or out of town. When I was a vet tech, I had a lot of clients that I would pet sit for when they would travel, sometimes for months at a time. I have two dogs of my own and one cat. I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, so I have a lot of experience in the medical field with animals as well. I also provide mobile nail trimming/bathing, etc. if you’re interested! I work a full time job. However, I am able to stay over night if you’re needing to go out of town for any reason. I’m super flexible with my schedule and have the ability to help with your needs. I have two good dogs that can keep your fur baby entertained. I also have a three old that’s good with animals. Please let me know if there’s anything special that needs to be done for your pet while they stay with me and my family if you choose to board with me. However, I am completely open and happy to stay at your house with your babies.

About: Ever since my family got a collie as a pet when I was a kid, I have been in love with dogs. That has only enhanced as I’ve grown older and cared for my own. I am currently working remotely from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for and love on your pets. Prior to walking your pets or stopping by for feedings or playtime, I would like to meet you and your pets first, if possible. That way we can make sure we all feel comfortable! It will also give us a chance to talk through instructions and expectations. I know this isn't always feasible and that's ok.

About: I’ve been around dogs & puppies a big chunk of my years, but around 2 years ago is when I got my baby when she was a baby! I trained her since a pup & love giving people advice Currently no job so availability Monday - Friday ! They’ll get more than enough attention & play time or whatever they need and want (: Anyway needed, there is no strict way to care for dogs as they are all different and need different things!

About: Hey, My name is Cariline and I am currently a student at App state! I have been taking care of pets my whole life, and even have my own puppy at home, but started professionally watching after pets about 10 years ago. I would consider myself incredibly hardworking and reliable. I would love the opportunity to come hang out with your furry friends whenever needed!
