House Sitting in McGrady

“Alyssa has been wonderful and loving to all of my animals. She had a lot to take care. 5 dogs in all and one with special needs. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away with no worries about my dogs or my home. I will be using her always in the future. My dogs love her and she is now part of the pack! ❤️🐶”

“Our pets had a wonderful with Gracie. Our dog who is part Aussie had a great time with Gracie’s Aussie. Communication was amazing and made us relax about their well being while away. We’ll certainly be calling Gracie on our next trip.”

About: I love animals and have had pets as far back as I can remember. I currently have 3 dogs, two shih Tzu's and a labor doodle. I enjoy spending free time playing outside with them. I work from home, so i spend countless hours with my pups and play with them on breaks and lunches. My wife also works part time and is able to play with our dogs along with taking them outside in our fenced in back yard. Unfortunately going forward I can no longer take drop offs or pick ups after 1030pm est or before 9am. This is due to my 1 year old son who requires a full night's rest. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For some reason if you cannot make that time frame please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate your situation. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to roam around and play in. I also have 3 other dogs they could play with.

“Andrea was wonderful. She met with us ahead of time since it was our first time using Rover. She was very responsive and send pictures of the dogs when she was over which we really appreciated. Best of all, we came home to happy pups!”

“Rachel was great with Bluey! Communicated great, took great care of our home, and got our puppy though his first snow AND dogsitting experience! Would definitely recommend to anyone!”

About: I stand out through my dedication to delivering unparalleled care tailored to the unique needs of every dog. With specialized expertise in training puppies and providing attentive senior care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention, ensuring each furry client receives nurturing and enriching experiences. My commitment to fostering strong bonds and creating positive, memorable interactions sets me apart as a compassionate and trusted caregiver at Rover. I am retired and looking for walking activities to keep me busy with the things I enjoy the most, PETS!! I love being around them as much as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Exercise and Play: I engage the dog in activities they enjoy, such as walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them active and happy. Comfort: I provide cozy resting areas and ensure the environment is safe and secure. Medication: If required, I administer medications according to the owner's instructions. Dog Walking: Safety First: Before the walk, I check equipment like leashes and harnesses to ensure they are secure. Exploration: I take dogs on stimulating walks in safe areas, allowing them to explore and enjoy their surroundings. Hydration: I bring water for hydration, especially during warmer weather. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks.

“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”

“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 truly love animals. My love grew from a young age having grown up with all different kinds of animals. From cats & dogs, horses, a couple pigs & goats, and cows. I have also watched friends, family & neighbors animals throughout the years which I loved and enjoyed. With my extra time I would love to help you out by taking care of your animal as I do my own. I currently work full time. I am available for morning and afternoon drop ins Monday through Friday. I have limited weekday availability but still offer house sitting and boarding with specific hour as I will be gone at my job. I am very flexible on the weekends and can cater my schedule to what your individual pet needs. I have 3 loving pups American Bully Vegas, Chocolate lab Hattie May, Blue Heeler Cheyenne, a cow named Annie and cat named Rye. I have a fenced in yard with lots of running space available. If your furry guest needs to have more alone time or is more comfortable with one-on-one, that is possible. Fresh water is poured daily and feedings happen at an individual pace. Treats will only be given with owner's permission. Any outside activity is always monitored.

About: I've grown up with a love of all animals and have had at least one dog or cat in the family for as long as I can remember. My mom managed a boarding and training kennel and took me to work with her every day, where I not only assisted her with the daily tasks, but also learned about caring for animals of all types and sizes. I started pet sitting for family and friends around the age of 10, and also was responsible for taking care of the pets in our home. I take my animals out for regular playtime and bathroom breaks, clean up the yard, and feed and water as needed. We have an older dog so I've also gotten comfortable with administering medication, whether it's chewable, hiding pills in treats, or injecting into the animal itself. I was bit by the pet lover bug at an early age, and it's become a huge passion in my life. My schedule is open and ready to accommodate any of your pet sitting needs. I have reliable transportation so I can either stay overnight to pet sit for you or stop by for a quick check-in or playtime. I will treat your dog or cat like a member of my own fur family.I am comfortable feeding, crating, and administering medicine as needed. I will put the safety of your animals above everything else, so rest assured your pets are my top priority.

“Sarah is a great pet sitter, all 4 of my animals seemed to be very comfortable with her. She left the house very tidy when we came home after a long weekend. We have hired her twice now and she will be out first choice next time we need a sitter”

About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with four dogs, a cat, and a bird! We rescued all of them and gave them a loving home full of attention and all the treats they could ever want. I would also pet sit for friends every so often. Because of this, I have learned a lot about everything that comes with being a pet owner. I now live here in North Carolina with my boyfriend and we have our sweet cat, Pretzel. I currently have a full-time job in West Jefferson. I am available for drop ins anytime during the weekends and late afternoon/nights during the week. I can do drop ins and do whatever I need to do to care for your pet whether that's playing with them, feeding them, or changing the litter. I can also walk dogs as well!

“Destiny did a good job watching my 2 doggies. A yorkie and pit bull mix. She offered to have an early meet and greet which helped them recognize her when she came to stay. House was neat and clean when I came home. I did have to reach out for my updates but not a big deal.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years now. I understand your dogs are your babies so taking care of them and modifying to their needs is one of my biggest priorities! I have a lot of free time to take care of your fur babies! The summer weather is perfect for walks! My schedule is very flexible, I would love to plan some meet & greets in order to meet you and your animals! In my home, your dogs would be like a part of my everyday routine. I would prefer to care for them in their own environment of course!

“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 am a self-employed, stay-at-home mom who LOVES animals of all kinds, from bearded dragons to Bernese Mountain dogs, parakeets to Pekingese. Our current fuzzy companions include our Great Pyrenees, Rocky; two cats, Mrs. Kitty and Portland and 4 Peking ducks. Past menageries have includes chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits, rats, dogs, cats, parakeets, tarantulas and lizards. My husband and I have three girls, ages 3, 9 and 14, that I seem to have passed the animal obsession bug to. We have a huge property with a creek out front, so there is plenty of room right outside our door for exercise. We’d love to watch whatever you have, and will spoil them rotten with attention. We are athletic, outdoorsy people, so if you are looking for a dog walker, we would love to help out! We are happy to pick up and drop off as needed, and would love to help out with whatever you may need! We have two cats, four ducks and a dog, so I'm very used to caring for animals. Working your fur baby into our routine will be a pleasure! Your pet will be treated as our own and smothered with attention from our kids :) If you have any specific needs, please let me know! I can administer meds.

“Tammera is the most awesome pet sitter I could have wished for - Murphy and Lia love her! I gave her so many kudos during our vacation I hope our friends we vacationed with contact Rover.com when they need a petsitter as well! She sent us pics every day and wasn't hesitant to ask questions about where things were in the house so she could be the best sitter ever - she was even thoughtful enough to leave us a vase of fresh roses she cut from our yard on the kitchen counter! How awesome! We returned home to the babies happy to see us, and house clean as a whistle, AND talk about going beyond the call of duty; she baked us a delicious loaf of sourdough bread to boot - the house smelled wonderful and the bread is gone less than 24 hours later!!! Tammera, you can't leave Wilkes County. We are SO happy to have found you!”

“Did a day sit at our home. Prompt and so very convenient for us and Annie. Will certainly use again...in fact booked for three more day sits.”

About: My name is Teshyra, but my family and friends call me Shyra. A few months ago, I decided to resign from my academic position and pursue my Virtual Assistance business full time. Now that I have location freedom, I'm ready to travel again. I am a lover of traveling, reading, and animals. In 2018, I had an opportunity to live in China for multiple months. While in Asia, I traveled to Vietnam, Bangkok, Beijing, Shanghai, and more. I miss the adventure of exploring the world. As a business owner, I can create my schedule according to the needs of the animals and pet owners. Please let me know in advance so I can accommodate you and your pets. I don't have a yard for the animals, but I am able to walk and care for them according to their daily schedules or the owners desires.
