Pet Sitting North Blue Ridge

About: Hello! I worked with animals for as long as I could remember! I use to dog sit for my neighbors since I was 10 years old until I was 17! I currently still work at a dog daycare and have been working there for about three years now! I also work for wag as well so I take care of animals on there as well! I also have dogs of my own and two cats! I’m very fortunate to be able to take care of animals and have always loved and appreciated that owners would allow me to care for there pets while they are away! I would love to help you take care of your fur babies as well! :) I work full time at a dog daycare but I mostly spend my days at home with my own dogs! I besides working 2:30 to 10:00 pm I’m always at home! I will be with your babies when I am not a work and make sure they are getting the proper potty breaks as needed! I can also come home during my break which is usually the half way mark to come and give them attention and potty breaks! I only work Tuesday-Saturday! So I’m free Sunday and Monday which I will be home the whole time! At my home I usually let dogs free roam when they come to my house but I’m perfectly fine with crating your pups if needed I do have an in home crate! I mostly spend my time going on walks and something lazing around on the couch! I always give a good amount of outside time so they can have some fun playing and enjoying the weather! I always have safety in my mind especially when it comes to being outside and other dogs to make sure they are always safe! I would love to be able to help take care of your babies while you’re away!

“Texted with pics every visit. The kitties came out and seemed to really like her. She did everything on the list. Would definitely hire again!”

“Erika has been amazing with Tonka! She’s reliable, caring, and I can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with him. Tonka absolutely loves her and is always happy to see her. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!”

“Kadyn was great and we loved having her take care of our cat Stormy!! Kadyn was super responsive and sent loads of pictures at each drop-in, making sure Stormy was entertained even while we were out. I’m super glad our cat had Kadyn with her while we were away :)”

Sundari P.

“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

“Kody took care of my two pugs for almost a month and he goes beyond what I ask him to do, he walks them late night and played with them after, he is also very easy to talk to, willing to do stuff that is not part of the job. Definitely someone I will be calling again the next time I will go out of town. Thank you very much”

About: I have the most experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up, I always had pet dogs. Once I was finally on my own, I got my first cat and fully embraced the “cat lady” stereotype. I now have two other cats and one of them I raised from 4 weeks old. I therefore feel very experienced with bottle baby kittens. I am a full-time teacher so unless we are on a break, I am available during the week after 3pm. I don’t have any work commitments on weekends. I would follow whatever instructions you left for me regarding your pet. If I were to have any questions, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to you.

“Jessica is great with our pups during drop in visits. Both dogs (even our spicy brained boy) seem to easily connect with her because of her thoughtful and skillful approach, which sets our mind minds at ease while we’re away.”

“Meggie goes above and beyond. She’s been checking in on my buddy for over a month now and she always does a great job. She’s prompt and never misses a day! She’s incredibly sweet to my boy and let’s him stay outside as long as he can. I always get pictures and a nice little update, and she checks in if something seems out of the ordinary. Overall I highly recommend Meggie ♥️🐶”

About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.

About: Have taken care of many animals in my life. Had a dog since age 7. At this point I have cared for 16 dogs in my life all different breeds and sizes. Loved everyone of them. Let me help get your puppy some exercise and attention. I currently do work so I walk dogs when I'm not at work. My availability as it changes will be posted so my clients have a clear idea of when I am available. I live in an apartment so there is plenty of grass and large open space to go for walks. I do have an extra large kennel as well if needed for any pet.

“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”

About: I will treat your pet with the utmost respect and love. No one should have to spend time worrying about their pets when they are on vacation, I send or post regular photos and almost always have my phone with me for any question or concerns you may have. I have spent my whole life with pets, I also volunteer with rescues, drive freedom transports for dogs, and foster when needed. I can take care of most medical needs including some IV fluids (subcutaneous), post-surgical needs and injections if needed. I enjoy spending time with all sorts of animals through the last few years has been primarily cats. Feel free to check out my Facebook & Instagram page - A Series of Furry Events I work full-time M-F 9 to 5 in the Plaza area I get a. hour for lunch and can do drop-ins if necessary for potty breaks or meds I am the proud pet to some beautiful rescue cats, they have graciously allowed me to live in their beautiful home. My cats are indoor only cats so a lot of play time is always necessary things that stimulate their prey drive and allow them to expel excess energy are always important
