“Amanda (Mandy) did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent me daily pics and reports on them both..even on the one I have that hides. Mandy was sure to have eyes on them both before leaving for the day which was reassuring for me, she also took the time to hunt down the “hider” and move his food near him to make sure his brother didn’t get it. I will absolutely use Mandy’s services again and will recommend her to friends and family.”

“Sherri was great as usual & I'm not sure how Judy was booked Judy was mentioned as a backup if Sherri wasn't available. Never any contact from her til the Sunday evening before the 4 th. Please refund that booking Thanks.”

“After having a bad history with dog walkers I was a bit nervous with having another, but Taylor was so great. From the first meet and greet Rocky (who can be particular) jumped right in his lap. He did everything we asked and sent pictures with our baby in his lap happy as can be. It made us feel so much better about having to leave him and we will definitely be using Taylor in the future. Highly recommend!!”

About: I miss my two girls I have lost in recent years due to old age and a serious health condition beyond our control. I am not ready to adopt again anytime soon, but my need to be around animals is an itch I long to scratch. I am highly attuned to when animals need space, and when they need love. Will do all I can to help you out, and make you and your pet feel at ease while you are away. Look forward to meeting new fur friends in Murphy! I’m available on the weekends and a few days during the week for house sitting or pet walking. Evenings will be variable. Tuesday nights are available during the week. Honest and trustworthy for sitting in your home. My husband who owns his own home improvement business will be accompanying me occasionally. References if needed

We do have an extra large crate already if your dog requires/likes to be crated.

“This was my second time booking Terri to watch my cats. She did a fantastic job! She is thorough and I can tell she cares for them well. They warmed up to her more this time and she was actually able to send photos of both cats--no more hiding :) Terri will definitely be my go-to sitter.”

“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”


“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”

“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”

“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”

“Delaney is a true superstar! I left her with her hands full and she did everything I asked! She even took extra care with my kitten who had a health problem as well as has a great time with my pups ? 1000000% recommendation and will use her again!”

My husband and I had planned a trip to andrews. We first booked with someone else and they canceled on us after we had already booked $250 tickets for the railroad. I found Amanda and she was happy to do a visit for us. She cared for 2 of my boxers. She took pictures, and made sure they went to the bathroom and walked. I was so relieved I could count on them being taken care of while gone. She is very reliable and i would contact t her again if we are ever in that area!

Judy was fabulous!! We had lost our fur baby last year when a neighbor was watching her, so my father and I were so worried about leaving our new baby alone for the weekend. I found Judy with great reviews, contacted her and she responded quickly and happily. She came and spent time with our baby boy, helped him eat (he DOES NOT eat when we are gone but he did for her after she won his trust), took him on long walks and really just took the best care of him. We loved getting pictures updates! We got home to a perfect house and a happy puppy. Would highly recommend and we will be calling her in the future when we have to go away for craft festivals (we are a woodworking booth). Thanks again!!!
