About: I have been pet sitting for the last 4 years as well as being a nanny for 4 children aged newborn to 5 years old. During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household. I love playing with and entertaining the higher-energy extroverted pets and enjoy quiet cuddle-time with the more laid-back, philosophical ones. Your pets safety and overall well-being is an utmost priority and I will care for it as carefully as I do my own pet. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. I have a flexible schedule that allows week-day overnights and multiple daytime check-ins with your pet. For overnight sittings, my flexible schedule allows me to check it in on your pets throughout the day, and no pet will be left unattended for more than 3 or 4 hours. I will communicate proactively and adhere to all the house rules and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce your pet's anxiety at your absence. In addition to maintaining their regular routines, I can also brush, bathe, and blow-dry your pet while you are away! I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

“Madison was great! She arrived right when she said she would, did a great job with communication, and the dogs loved her. We look forward to hiring her again. It is really nice to have a reliable, responsible person to call on when we need someone to walk our furry children. Thanks Madison!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: I've always had a deep affection for dogs and their care.Dogs are best companions that I enjoy spending time with and who help me avoid loneliness, so I don't always think of them as animals. I'm now concentrating on my studies and schoolwork for the future, but I'm happy to assist with pet care when I have free time to help out If your dog comes and stays with me, they will have a great time and be well-cared for because I have a lot of space for dogs to run about on. My dog loves being outside and having someone to play with

“Sonya is wonderful and very accommodating to our schedule. Our pups really enjoy their walks with her! She’s our “go-to” walker! 😊”

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember! Always the first to volunteer to dog, cat, chicken, bunny, guinea pig, and fish sit :) I currently have a somewhat flexible schedule with the ability to have some play time with new furry friends during lunch & on the weekends! I treat and love any and every animal as if it were my own! I pay great attention to details and would always ensure that your furry friend be safe!

About: *Cat, dog, Small animal, farm animal and exotic animal care* Hi, I'm Kate! I'm a New York native, who has made home in WNC. With 9 years of experience as a licensed veterinary technician and 5 years of running my own pet sitting business, I am so excited to continue to build my client base in North Carolina. Pets are more than just animals to me. I have a deep understanding of animals medically, emotionally, behaviorally- as well as understand the safety and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. My main goal is providing a peace of mind for all my clients. I go above and beyond to make sure all instructions are followed and you feel comfortable knowing your pets are in the best hands. Some examples of my medical experience: - Senior pet care - Nail trimming - Medicine Administration - Insulin Injections - SQ Fluids (for chronic kidney patients) I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and becoming your go-to, long-term pet sitter/dog walker! I am a full-time pet sitter and dog walker. I also offer additional services, including nail trims, medication administration, etc. If there is something you don't see listed on my profile, just ask me and we can discuss options. Safety is my top priority. Because this is my full-time job, I give each visit my undivided and full attention. Maintaining a calm demeanor while I am in your home creates the best environment for all pets, especially ones with anxiety.

“Brody was amazing! My dogs are determined to attack everyone they meet with love and it can definitely be intimidating lol. Love my babies but they’re extra. Brody embraced their love and all their energy and they took to him right away! He was very communicative with me while we were out of town and he did a great job keeping up with my puppy’s medication schedule. She looked so much better when I got back. He was able to control my larger and super strong dog. Brody even went above and beyond and stayed a little longer with them. I felt at peace knowing he had them covered while we were away. Will def book him again!”

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

“A great choice for a pet sitter/walker -- Rebecca is an animal-lover and you can tell that as soon as you meet her. There are many people out there who want to make money, but don't really like dogs that much. She is not one of them. Really appreciated how quickly she responded and how enthusiastic she was about walking my Labrador. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

About: As a pet parent of both 2 dogs and a cat myself, I understand the level of care and affection your pet(s) deserve. I also understand how hard it can be to leave them behind, and to also need the reassurance that they will not only be kept safe, but also enjoy their time. From growing up with dogs and cats to now having my own, I can assure you that I am capable of proving top quality care and FUN while you are away. I have had neighbors, various family members, and clients rely on me to provide top quality care to their pets while they have been away, from providing medication to exercising and bathing. I’d love to meet and talk through all your expectations + daily life with your pets, so I can best understand how to care for them while in my care. I am currently taking a break from my professional career to pursue something more personally fulfilling- this means I’m pretty available, 24/7 most days of the year. If looking to have your dog stay with me, my husband and I live on a 2acre piece of land with lots of running space for your dog(s). If off-leash play isn’t an option, we have a fenced in dog park near by that we also frequent. For daily walks, we go up and down our gravel mountain road. Lots of fun smells!! My dog is a fantastic playmate, non-aggressive and professionally trained (and neutered!!). If looking for me to do drop-in visits with your dog or cat, I’ll happily abide to their usual schedule at your home. I have experience with training large dogs, and would be happy to help enforce and commands used in your home while I’m with any of your pets. Please let me know ahead of any special requirements for care or any verbal commands used in the home.

“Erika walked my dog, Rico, twice a day for a week while I was out of town. She was really good about letting me know when she walked Rico and sent a photo every day. As most dog lovers, I am always looking for someone who I can trust with Rico and I could tell he was very happy when I returned! We will definitely hire her again!”

About: My name is Chelsea and I am a huge dog lover! I have a spoiled dog of my own who brings so much joy to my life! However, there is always room for more! I love all dogs of all sizes and breeds. I will run with your dog, take them on hikes, or long trails if they tend to have more energy. I will also snuggle and teach new tricks to those how tend to have less energy. I can send picture updates throughout my time with your dog. If there are certain manners or tricks you would like me to work on, I can definitely do that as well! I feel that dogs are such a gift and we are lucky to get to spend time with them!

“Erik is amazing! We use him weekly to care for our fur babies while we’re at work as well as drop in visits when on vacation. He is always on time, trustworthy, and exceeds expectations. His communication is outstanding. He truly loves taking care of the pups and it definitely shows in the attention he gives each of them. This has been our first experience using a dog walker / caregiver in our home and it has been one of the best decisions yet!”
