Doggy Day Care in Mountain City

“Karen was great! My husband and I had to book super last minute and she was very accommodating. Took our simba on a walk and helped him with his anxiety. Thank you Karen!”

“The whole family was so sweet! They took great care of my pup, and it seemed like he had a blast!! I was provided with many photos, which I very much appreciated! Will book again!”

“Cal was really flexible about my times for the drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of my fur baby, kept me updated throughout the day, and asked about uncertainties and got clarification on food before feeding! Excellent job, thankyou Cal (:”

“Fran is an amazing care taker of animals - she is kind, compassionate and a true "dog lover". She treats them like her own and I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby!”

About: I currently own 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 4 chickens. I have plenty of space and separate rooms for dogs that prefer being alone or are easily scared. I have experience with all different pet personalities and can adapt my home and schedule to accommodate almost any need. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, making dog boarding, day care, or home stays a breeze. I am available for drop in visits and walks during early morning, late afternoon, and evening hours during the week. I am familiar with administering multiple types of medications such as pills, ear drops, and liquid oral medications if required. Can devote much of my time to walking dogs in my large yard and have two sweet and energetic pups that are always ready to play with newcomers. I currently work from home and am available for daycare, home stays, or boarding any time. I am available mornings and evenings during the week and all weekend long for drop-ins and walks. I have two friendly dogs that are both crate-trained. I also have a large and open yard with a runner to keep pets secure while giving them plenty of outdoor time. I have several rooms in the house that can be used as a private space for your pup during boarding.

“Ken was just fabulous. Arranging the stay couldn't have been easier, and he made me so comfortable leaving Rosie with him. He's obviously an animal lover, and Rosie opened up to him immediately. Throughout the morning, he sent photos and updates - including of a lovely hike along a bucolic nearby stream. Come afternoon, I picked up a tired and happy dog. Rosie will miss him.”

“Kourtney and her husband took such great care of our Suzy while we attended a memorial nearby. Suzy enjoyed the outdoor areas, and snuggled in inside waiting for us to return. I recommend Kourtney for your pet care needs!”

“Kara would make a good candidate for any activity involving pets. She has spent her whole life around a variety of pets from fish and hamsters to Saint Bernard dogs and alley cats. She is always focused on their needs and is eager to interact with them on many levels. It would be a mistake to not give her a try.”

“I highly recommend Lisa when I need a pet sitter. I can trust that my animals are walked and fed as if I were home doing it myself. She has a can do attitude and her love for animals is a bonus. Lisa is efficient, responsible, and has a happy heart. She is my go to girl when I must travel and leave my babies at home. -Catrina C”

“Emma - Thanks again for taking such good care of Kelly. I could tell how happy she was spending time with you and Frannie. We hope to see you again!”

“Another good stay for Ellie. She has been a tired pup today lol”

“Faith was a wonderful sitter! I felt comfortable leaving our elderly dog with her knowing he was in good hands. Faith was great at communicating with me and was flexible.”

“Kitty was amazing with my dog! She made sure my pup was comfortable with her dogs and the fenced in yard. She sent me a bunch of photos and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend and would happily book with her again.”

“Caroline is very good with pets. I have never seen someone with so much respect for animals. She always knows how to take the best of care for them. She not only works well with animals, she enjoys being around them. As someone who has had many pets, some of which she has taken great care of, I have seen her work with animals first hand and she is amazing! I would recommend her any day!”

About: I grew up on a non-profit (501c3) dog rescue located in Faison, NC. We are called Whiskering Pines Animal Sanctuary and we do not currently have a website due to heightened concerns of animal abandonment around our area. We see a high traffic of dogs of all shapes and sizes with a variety of different needs. We have operated since 2012 and recently obtained our 501c3 status. We work closely with our county and surround county animal shelters. I am currently enrolled in school at Appalachian State and would like to keep animal care prevalent in my life in some way. I am currently enrolled in 15 credit hours at Appalachian state leaving plenty of room for day sitting, evening sitting needs, walks, and play dates. I am not currently boarding but would be open for consideration for dogs 20lbs > only. I love animals and believe your fur babies deserve the happiest and healthiest lives possible! Adequate food, water, exercise, and human engagement. I believe most animals are capable of indicating needs well and it is my job as a caretaker to make sure those needs are met in the absence of the owner.

“Katrina has took care of my fur babies when I was sick or away and done an amazing job! My dogs love her and love we she comes and takes care of them. She has took care of my dogs for four years and every time she does amazing!”

“She is a very responsible and loving pet caretaker. She has a dog and cat of her own and just has a natural ability to make animals comfortable with her. She followed our directions carefully. She’ was also pleasant and cooperative with us humans too:)”

“Certainly! Here's a revised version reflecting that you dropped Gup off for the day: Our experience with Olivia, even just for a day, was wonderful. We dropped off our pug, Gup, with her and right from the start, it was evident that she has a genuine love for animals. Olivia was welcoming and professional, making the drop-off process smooth and reassuring for both us and Gup. Throughout the day, Olivia kept us in the loop with a lots of delightful photos and updates, showing us how well Gup was adapting and enjoying her time.”

“Bethany took wonderful care of Rex for the day in her home. She is really communicative and we’ll definitely book more in home visits with her. If you are in the Foscoe, Banner Elk area she is very close, and is open to picking your dog up for a modest fee”

“Nikita was so friendly, was accommodating with our schedule, and provided updates during the dayboarding. My dog, Penny, had a wonderful time!”
