House Sitting in Pine Knolls

“Betty was wonderful! Bo enjoyed taking long walks with her, we got updates and pictures each day and our pets were happy when we returned. Our house was clean and well cared for, and she even washed our sheets and towels. Betty handled everything we asked of her without complaint. We will use her again! Highly recommend.”

“Savannah took great care of my dogs for the week, and responded very quickly any time I reached out. She sent updates daily and my dogs loved spending the week with her!”

Madeleine C.

“She took great care of my Great Dane when I was out of town!!!”

“Dinira was excellent with our animals very attentive and they were very healthy and happy when we came home. If she’s available, we’ll book her every time we go out of town. Even our shy kitty came out to see her and she did fabulous with our diabetic cat with her insulin shots.”

Betty S.

“Georgia was the absolute best. She kept me updated and sent adorable pics of my fur babies. My shy, people hating babies warmed right up to her. She probably treated them better than I do? I will definitely use Georgia again.”

Julie L.

“Wow! How impressed my husband and I were with Michelle’s level of care for not only Bo and Buddy but our house as well. Both Bo and Buddy were happy and healthy on our return home and the house was as we left it. Michelle was house sitting and she washed the towels and sheets and also unloaded the dishwasher!! Above and beyond our expectations. She worked with Bo on crate training and he definitely seems more secure with that process than before we left. We have already booked Michelle for a second stay. Highly recommend!”

“Raina is an absolute Godsend! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, with one dog being older and the other a 1 year old puppy - and we had pretty much resigned ourselves to never going on vacation again. Raina stayed at our house for the entire week, and our animals adored her. Even our shy skittish ghost of a cat Stella came right out and loved her. She played ball with the babydog, she snuggled the old dog, she loved on the cats. She sent us adorable pictures. She was incredible! Our animals have never been without us that long, so I expected them to be anxious and out of sorts when we got home - it was like we were never gone. She kept them so calm and comfortable that they were just happy to see me, and went right back to normal. The house was even better than we left it. Raina had everything in perfect order, everything was clean, it honestly looked better than we left it! Raina is a blessing, and I’m so glad Rover brought her into our lives!”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mitchie to take care of my furry family while I was out of town, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the level of attention and care that she provided. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. She was friendly and warm towards my pets, and took the time to get to know each of their individual personalities and needs. She was also very thorough in asking me about any special instructions or preferences that I had for their care, which put me at ease knowing that they were in good hands. Overall, I would highly recommend Mitchie to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends. She was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about the well-being of my animals. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

“Debi took such great care of our pups and our home. It’s so nice coming home and seeing the dogs happy and healthy and the house taken care of. She kept in touch with us during the stay and even let them sleep with her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Sarah Beth M.

“Kat did a great job caring for my needy Vizsla and two cats while I was away! I know they can be a handful and I truly appreciate the patience and care she took with them. I definitely recommend Kat!”

Julie R.

“Marci and I are in a constant battle of who my dog loves more and I'm fairly certain I'm losing. Athena loves when Marci comes to stay. She has very little change to her routine and I can see from the photos that she is happily curled up on Marci's lap on the couch. My neighbor even likes to tell me how happy Athena is when Marci is there. They play a lot, they sit in the sun, and she is showing her the best time!”

Raina K.

“Did a great job watching my two pups. Kept good communication throughout the time and was flexible because I set up the booking at one house and ended up moving to another. Overall awesome job and would recommend again.”

Johnathan T.

“Mckayla did a great job with our two dogs, a large pit bull and small terrier mix. She is thorough and very confident with dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates while we were gone for three days. Very respectful of our space, left everything clean and how it was before we left. Will book again ☺️”

Lucey W.

“Morgan always does such a wonderful job with my two dogs and ferret. She sends so many cute pictures and they love spending time with her. Would definitely recommend!”

Lauren M.

“Mackayla was great with our 2 labs, a 14 year old and a 3 year old, and she handled both with reassuring care and patience. We were anxious leaving them and came home and came home knowing they were in good hands. Would surely call her again.”

Karen E.

“Emily was awesome!! She is so sweet, super communicative, sent plenty of updates and was so great with our dog Chief. Would highly recommend her to anyone!!!”

Tori W.

“Chelsey is an excellent caregiver for your pets. I will give her 100% writing. She stayed with our pets from Christmas Day through January 2. Helped us out a lot with a sick dog.”

About: I have been taking care of family members' dogs regularly for years, including senior dogs with special needs and puppies with no training. Over the years I have gained a working knowledge of caring for dogs with dietary restrictions and mobility issues. I have also had experience teaching two puppies potty training and leash training. Any size dog is welcome, for I have taken care of dogs ranging from six to ninety pounds. I can work around the pet's needs if given a few days to iron out personal schedules. I am in college, so if I spend the night pet sitting, I will have to allocate a certain amount of time for my classes. When in a client's home I like to have a detailed list of instructions regarding the locations of a pet's food, toys, and personal belongings. I will always strive to keep a pet's usual schedule when inside their home and leave time for them to become comfortable with me. I am not afraid of reactive dogs, I can handle ones that bark and bite easily. As the night progresses I will make sure that the home is secure, clean, and happy for the dog I am watching. I am perfectly happy to sleep with the dog on a couch or on the floor if the need arises. Special dietary needs are always important to me, so medications and food will be given correctly at the allocated times.

“Abby was so down to earth and friendly. Was so attentive and playful with Roxy, I could tell they got along well. Always responsive and attentive to our needs and Roxy’s safety.”

“Emily watched my dog Katie and did a wonderful job. My connecting flight home was delayed and then canceled and Emily still made sure Katie was taken care of when it exceeded the dates I booked. Thank you! (:”
