Pet care experience
Special 20$ for clients new to Rover that book with me! :) use code: REGANF82747 I believe one of my main missions here on Earth is to connect with animals on a deep spiritual level. I was born into a family that deeply cherishes the natural world and raised on a farm in Candler, NC. Growing up, I was surrounded by a myriad of animals—including, but not limited to: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, sheep, goats, donkeys, pigs, rabbits, rodents… there was even a herd of deer I hand-fed with my horse Comanche at dusk. I spent more time in the barn or forest bonding with animals than I ever did indoors :) In 8th grade, I worked all summer cleaning stalls and doing barn chores to save enough money to breed my mare Star—and with help from my parents, I raised her filly, Koda. I rode on the hunter/jumper equestrian team at Hollins University and later worked as a veterinary technician at various clinics, most recently Highlands Animal Hospital in Florida. That role gave me the skills to provide attentive care and administer medications, ensuring your pets’ health and well-being. While I loved helping animals, the fast-paced emergency clinic environment was emotionally challenging as an empath. I realized I could best support animals by combining my intuitive gifts with my lifelong experience in a setting that feels nurturing and grounded—for both them and me. I’ve worked on farms and ranches, taught horseback riding lessons, cared for hundreds of pets for clients, friends, and family, volunteered in wildlife rehab and rescue programs, and worked in dog/cat boarding facilities. I truly enjoy bonding with each animal and discovering their unique personality. I’m a certified yoga teacher, reiki practitioner, and holistic healer. I work with clients on a spiritual and energetic level, which gives me the flexibility and presence to care for your pets with full attention and love. My deep connection to nature and my spiritual practice help me tune into each pet’s emotional and energetic needs. Now based in Waynesville, NC, I offer professional pet sitting services in the comfort of your home. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, I’m here to provide reliable and personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine. I lead an active life and love going on long walks, hikes, and play sessions, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can rest easy knowing your furry family is thriving. Your home and animals will be in gentle, capable hands—and surrounded by pawsitive vibes!

Reviews



Regan is awesome! She's delightful and reliable We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was with our dogs. House was clean and dogs were happy when we returned. One of the pups quirky personality is a challenge and Regan didn't hesitate to handle her and did it with care. I'll be asking for her, again.




Regan is the best!! We love being her customer and will continue to book her in the future!


Regan and Chris did a good job of making sure my pups were safe and cared for. Upon meeting them at the Meet and Greet, I immediately fell in love with them and appreciated their calm, friendly presence. They knew to give my youngest pup her space, as she's afraid of strangers. They arrived on time for the sitting and gave me a heads up they were on their way. I asked them not to leave the pups for more than 2-3 hours at a time, and they actually stayed the whole time! They also cleaned the house and washed the linens, which I appreciated. During the stay, Regan provided updates each time I asked (1-2 times per day). She also provided pics and videos of the dogs hanging out in the yard. The dogs weren't taken on any walks, but my yard is large. A couple of things did surprise me. This was my first time leaving the dogs with a sitter. Regan mentioned that "sometimes the pets don't understand where their parent(s) went and the in-person hand-off can lead the pet to believe the sitters did something to the owner. So it's not something she typically does. (On the flip side I can see that for a first time sitting, if a stranger showed up while they were alone and without seeing them interact with the parents, that could freak the dogs out too.) Regan also mentioned that they normally head out once they know the parent has landed and are on the way home. She did ask if I wanted them to say, and I said yes, so she did. Overall, it was nice knowing my girls were safe and had humans around the whole time, and coming home to a clean house was great.

Regan and Chris did an amazing job with our new puppy Buddy. She informed us of how he was doing with pictures to give us the comfort that he was safe and happy at home. I would give Regan a 10 star but they only allow 5. If you need someone that is dependable and has an amazing background with animals.........REGAN is the one to take care of your animals. THANK YOU REGAN! We will definitely use Regan for future Buddy watching!

I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs they may have. I pay close attention to their behavior and emotional state, offering calm, loving energy and plenty of affection. I also keep the home clean, secure, and well-tended, and I always provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

A typical day
A typical day depends on what each pet needs, but it usually includes morning and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and just being present with them. I spend a lot of time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks or hikes fits right into my routine. If I’m house sitting, I make sure their home stays clean and comfortable and that they stick to their normal schedule. I check in often with photo updates so you can see how your pets are doing. Every day is a little different, but it always centers around making sure animals feel safe, cared for, and loved.
