“Elizabeth was first and foremost amazing with my doodle Myles. She has been very reliable and never disappoints. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any kind of pet sitting. She goes above and beyond your standard sitting. I will Definantly have her watch my doodle agian. And also the prices are very good for the fine quality she provides. 10 out of 10 in my book.”

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 12 years old, and over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. I'm currently in grad school at LR for counseling and working part-time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pups! Most weekdays I will be available after 2pm! I respect your home and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding times, walking schedules, medications, and any household rules your pet is used to. I aim to keep things as familiar as possible so your pet stays comfortable in their own space. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs as if they were my own. I’m experienced with leash training, giving medications, and keeping dogs active and happy. While dogs are my specialty, I also have years of experience caring for cats, fish, hamsters, and even chickens so I’m comfortable with households that have multiple pets. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work online so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Along with my two boys (ages 10 and 12) who also share a love for animals, your pets will have lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly home with a big yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. My boys and I are experienced with dogs of all sizes, and we treat every pet like part of the family. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether at my home or yours! I also live near an awesome trail.

“We arrived home to a happy and healthy pup. Carrie took great care of Sam and left the house immaculate. We also got daily pictures of Sam enjoying his own home and yard. We would not hesitate to have Carrie watch Sam again!”

About: I've trained my own dogs from the puppy stage and taken care of them in the senior stage. I love all of it. I enjoy going on walks with any of the dogs I take care of while also making sure they are having fun too. I can take care of any needs for your dogs and cats. I have been working on my "people skills" as I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm comfortable with pets; its people that I sometimes struggle with. If given the chance; you'll see that I will take wonderful care of your beloved pets. I currently work full time Monday - Thursday but I am available Friday - Sunday. I have free time on the weekends to spend with your pets. I live in a calm neighborhood and love taking the dogs on walks around the area. I have no pets at home currently and live alone so your baby will get my undivided attention.

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

About: I have had a ton of experience working with all ages and breeds of dogs from puppy to senior. I currently own a three-year-old Belgian melon who is fully trained I know and have what it takes to care for dogs especially ones at a high energy I have such a love for animals and making sure that all their needs and priorities are met. That is my goal. If I’m watching someone’s animal, I’m watching it like my own because that’s how I would want someone to watch mine. I absolutely love animals and love watching them. I am open and available for requests near Conover NC and Boone NC. Currently here for school but in Conover NC most long weekends ( Thursday evening through early Monday morning). I would love to help out! Can do walks, drop in, boarding, etc! Have one very trained dog! I’m also pretty responsive and flexible plz don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you! I have a big backyard and a very trained for a baby that is friendly with other dogs, your animals carries my top priority. I can create your dog or keep it open. I’m very flexible depending on what best suits your dog would depend on how my dog will be. He’s crate trained but also can be out, so just depends on the comfortability of the animal that I’m watching.

“McKenzie did an excelled job staying with our dog. She sent several pictures and videos and checked in several times during her stay. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Arthur is amazing with both my dog and cats! He’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and treats them like his own. I loved getting updates and pictures while I was away — it made me feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.
