“Kathryn is lovely. Our kitties responded well to her calm demeanor- even our most shy little cat would sometimes venture out to see her when she did her check-ins. We enjoyed getting photo updates from her each day. She is reliable and friendly- we were very pleased to find her on Rover!”
“Emma was great! She sent updates everyday, arrived at consistent times every day, and gave lots of love and attention to our cat while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”

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!

About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.
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.
“We found out on short notice that we needed a sitter, and Zoe made the process so easy! She made sure to take pictures everyday and text us about what was happening with the cats! Would highly recommend!”
“Could not have had a better person to look after the girls. So consistent on her arrivals. Apparently the cats loved her. Upon her returning house key, our big gray Tabby jumped off my lap and ran to the front door and blocked Sydney from leaving. Had to lead her out of garage to get to her car. Sydney also drew our shy scaredy cat out on first visit! All three were relaxed and happy upon our return. Sydney many many thanks for taking care of the girls.”
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!
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: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there
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.
“Suzanne did the most amazing job with our beloved family member Terra. Prior to a long house sitting job Suzanne agreed to several drop in visits so that Terra recognized her. She kept her company, cared for her and got to know her so well! Our communication was excellent and that helped me be able to enjoy my vacation. It is such a tremendous gift. Thank you so much Suzanne!”
“Christy is paw-some! She took diligent and friendly care of my cat while I was on duty. She sent updates and pictures too! Christy is a great person for anyone to leave their pet with!”
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 have been pet sitting since I was 15, with family and friends depending on me to provide quality care to their pets. I am familiar with hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. I work full time, but I am able to provide potty breaks for my lunch hour. I am fully available on weekends! I am always welcome to discussing a more detailed schedule that meets your needs, as well as your future babies. I have a fenced in yard with fresh water hook up and a large dog house, with a tree that provides shade. I have three amazing dogs that are very animal friendly, especially with our cats. Our dogs are crate trained, so if your pet needs crated for any reason, I can also provide that as well.

Tyler W.
“I cannot say enough good things about Tyler! I have a large, energetic dog who loves to pull and can be a real handful on walks. I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence. He’s strong, calm, and clearly experienced—my dog actually came back tired, which never happens! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Tyler also kept me updated with photos and little check-ins which I really appreciated. Will definitely book him again!”

I will hire her again should the need arise.”

Syd D.
“Syd has been an avid pet love their whole life. Ever since they were a little kid all they have ever wanted to do was to take care of animals. It never mattered what kind either. Frogs, snakes, lizzards, chipmunks, dogs, cats, etc...they have experience working with them all. Now they are majoring in wild life rehabilitation at a tremendous school in order to fulfill their lifelong dream of helping as many animals as they can. A type 1 diabetic since 18 months old forced Syd to grow up very quickly and learn about self care and responsibility at a very early age. This has only gotten stronger as they have grown and now that same responsibility encompasses every aspect of their life. Syd is an amazing person and the biggest animal lover you will ever come across. Nobody will make a better caregiver than Syd.”
Nikita C.
“Nikita has dog sat for us for years! She is very reliable and wonderful with our pups! I recommend her for any animal you have!”
