“Caitlin did a great job with our two girls! One was recovering from a stomach surgery and Caitlin was able to administer medication and special food on last minute notice. We could tell from the pictures that she sent that our girls were comfortable and happy. Caitlin was very communicative the whole stay. We will be booking again in a few weeks! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I currently have two dogs. I have been pet sitting on and off since I was a teen. I recently moved to NC and have an abundance of time since I left my corporate job! I would love to use this additional time to care for and hang with your pets! I am currently in a small apartment until we move onto our land. Due to limited space pet setting would be best in your place. I can accommodate another small dog or cat here though if needed! No fenced in yard but we walk and hike often so they get out.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.
“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”

“Heather exceeded all of our pet-sitting expectations! My husband and I went on a week long vacation and needed a wonderful person to care for our 2dogs, 2 cats and a garden full of flowers. I could tell by our dogs demeanor that they were loved while we were gone. Can’t say enough good things about Heather - highly recommend!”
About: I have always loved pets from a young age. Throughout my life I have had the privilege to own 3 dogs and a cat. I absolutely loved all of them! Growing up I was always expected to take care of the pets when my parents were at work or out of town. I pretty much have unlimited experience as I take care of my dogs every day. I also have experience with new dogs as I was a pet sitter for a year in high-school. I am a student athlete at Appalachian State, I run cross country and track. I may not be as flexible as others, but I make up for that with the care that I will provide when I am free! Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are my most free days. Perfect for when you need a weekend getaway, or a long day of work on Monday! I am unable to provide at home services at my place as unfortunately I live in an apartment. I will gladly take care of your pet in your home or at park, wherever you prefer! I just love animals and I can spend hours playing or just hours laying down!
“Katie house sat for my 14-year-old dog over a long weekend. Katie was flexible with scheduling changes and did great with my dog. I appreciated the regular checkins with pictures!”

About: Dogs feel at ease with me because I bring a calm, easygoing energy that helps them settle in and feel right at home. Whether your pup’s full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I meet them where they’re at. I’ve spent a lot of time with bigger breeds and feel totally comfortable handling their strength and quirks. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time in the mornings-afternoon for only about 3 hours a day or less. I don’t have any other commitments so I have a lot of free time! I live in a pet friendly environment and there are no other animals in the house. My house is usually a quiet environment and there wouldn’t be very many restrictions for your pet. I am open to doing anything in the home I need to to make your pet feel comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been blessed to love and care for pups of all ages — from energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and attention. Growing up around dogs taught me more than just the basics of feeding and walking. It taught me how to read their body language, understand their different personalities, and recognize when they need comfort, space, playtime, or reassurance. Every dog is different, and I truly respect that. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. They’re family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, sticking closely to their routine, or just quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for your fur babies. My schedule is very open, so I’m available most days and times to provide attentive, loving care. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job outside of the home, your pet won’t be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly enjoy being home and caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. 🐶💛 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications, and bedtime habits — because I know consistency helps reduce stress. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and rest. Since I stay home, they’re rarely left alone and always have someone nearby to make them feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure feeding instructions, walk schedules, medications, and any special care needs are followed exactly as requested. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal in either setting is the same — to treat your fur baby like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have owned Golden Retrievers and Dachshunds and a wide range of cats my whole life. While I’m a proclaimed cat person, I do love a good doggo I am currently a teacher assistant, which would keep me away during school hours but I am always excited to spend outside hours loving on animals. In my own household- I have a playful and needy cat to judge and entertain your buddies. I have a fenced in back yard and am in walking distance to multiple trails.

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals.

As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away.

I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs needing extra TLC.

I currently have a part-time online internship, which leaves my schedule very flexible and open—perfect for giving your dog the time and attention they deserve. Since I work remotely and have few other commitments, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings, long walks, and extra playtime. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping your dog company—so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m respectful of your space and treat your home and pet with the same care I give my own. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I always provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Madison did a terrific job caring for our dog for the day at our home. Our dog loves her and so do we. She is kind, personable, responsible, reliable, and flexible. We appreciated her taking the time to meet our dog beforehand, although she had quite a long commute. We feel very fortunate to have found Madison and we will definitely use her services in the future.”
