House Sitting in Moravian Falls

About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

“Alyson was a godsend. We have a very hyper 5 month old boxer puppy who literally flipped out when she arrived and could not settle down. We felt terrible leaving him with Alyson as this was our first time having her to our home. By the time we got to West Jefferson she had sent us texts and videos of how everything was going. Our pup went from absolutely nuts to sleeping with her on the sofa and snoring ? Clearly she is a dog whisperer. We are so blessed to have met her and look forward to more visits!”

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.

“Jeff did a terrific job of taking care of our pups. He stayed in our cottage, while watching our dogs (no small feat as they are Great Pyrenees - a 1 and a 2 year old) . Not everyone is up to the task of handling these gentle giants, so kudos to Jeff. He communicated with us daily with pics or a video. He also kept an eye out for deliveries to the residence. We will definitely book with Jeff again.”

“Loving, caring and responsible! Debbie did a great job keeping me informed and took fantastic care of all my pets.”

“Justin has been the au pair for my four dogs and three cats as well as multiple foster dogs of mine for the past eight months. He is amazing with the dogs and cares for them better than I would myself. They get multiple walks and play times based on their needs. I have seniors as well as young dogs. He trains my foster dogs and socializes them. All of the dogs get special outings to various parks and dog friendly locations for fun and socialization. He is an amazing person and is very talented. He even helps me with home improvement projects on the inside and outside of my house. I highly recommend him.”

“Tiffany stayed the weekend with our two Weims. This was a first-time having someone stay with them in our home. Attentive, trustworthy and reliable. Absolutely recommend.”

“When anyone asks me for a pet sitter I am so quick to give Keeley’s information. Keeley is an exceptional dog sitter who has taken care of our furry family member multiple times. She is not only reliable and responsible but also incredibly caring and attentive to our dog's needs. Keeley goes above and beyond to ensure our dog is comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. You can truly tell when a person loves animals, Keeley LOVES animals. We trust Keeley implicitly and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter.”

“Bethaney is amazing sitter for my babies. She stayed with them the whole weekend and I got pictures and videos regularly. Bethaney made our puppy Daisy not so anxious with us being gone. I will definitely be using Bethaney again. Thank you!”

About: Have ran a small farm before. Many dogs and cats and goats chickens. Enjoy and find it peaceful to be around animals of all types I currently have Tuesday through Friday off and would like to make some extra money on my own schedule time Unavailable Saturday through Monday. As I work my full time job I can easily crate and walk your pet when needed and watch over it. When outside they will be on a lease and with me at all times

“He has watched my dog on several occasions, he is a great guy and my dogs absolutely loved him! I would highly recommend him for any kind of dog sitting needs!”

“Kaitlyn has taken care of my boy Jasper many times over the years. He absolutely loves Kaitlyn! She is so caring and compassionate and relates so well to him. Kaitlyn is also very reliable. I never have to worry when Kaitlyn is staying with Jasper. She sends regular updates and her veterinary background is a big plus for me.”

“I have known Jaszmyn for many years as she has looked after our dogs and Home many times, I can confirm that she is reliable, trustworthy, dependable and caring. I simply wouldn’t look to anyone else. We have large dogs and she always takes such great care of them! We also have small hobby chicken coop. She would make a perfect choice to watch your animals and home.”

“First time using Rover, but this was a wonderful experience for our senior girls. Kaitlynn helped us to have a stress free weekend by giving our girls lots of love and attention. She sent pictures too. We will be contacting her again. 🐶🐶”

“Kaitlyn and her business, Comfort Critters Co is truly a premier dogsitter. I am very type A when it comes to my dogs. We are a family of 3 large breeds ranging in personality and age, so it takes a special and qualified person to contain this herd. Kaitlyn's attention to detail, passion for dogs, and deliberate & consistent communication truly kept my wife and I at ease while out of town. We even had a situation with the HVAC system during our stay and Kaitlyn was able to navigate the issue with me over the phone seamlessly. She even went out and yelled at the tech for leaving our gate open haha! She truly takes ownership and pride in your animals and household while you are away. Our experience with Kaitlyn was by far the best dog-sitting experience I have ever had. She will forever be our go-to in this area. I cannot recommend this business enough for your 4 legged friends!”

“Paige has helped take care of my dogs and my cat for several years. She's great with animals! She's patient, knowledgeable, and very dependable. She's also taken care of our neighbor's dog, cat, and their house while vacationing. I would definitely recommend her to anybody needing pet care.”

“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.”

“Elisia is wonderful! She loves my dogs and treats them like hers. She is very patient and loving to my animals. Thank you so much.”
