About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

“Angel did a great job with walking our energetic Parsons Russell Terrier in the middle of the day, while we were stuck on conference calls. Very easy to communicate with in setting up the walks and sent several pictures and details about the walks. We plan on engaging her again.”

“Alyson sat for us about a month or so ago. Hey service was recommended to me by a friend and and while I knew she'd be good, I was very happy to learn how detailed and attentive she was with our furbabies. She sent us pictures regularly and once we got back we had detailed report cards of the animals. It was so sweet! 100% recommended!”

“Bethaney is very professional and very kind. I trust her to watch my two dogs when I'm on vacation. I have a large husky mix and a small pit mix. My dogs love her and look forward to seeing her. Bethaney loves all animals and was raised with many different types of animals. I feel you would be happy with her services.”

“Rick is a kind, nurturing guy and who is passionate about animals and nature. He is intuitive, and seems to naturally anticipate the needs of the pets he's caring for. I've seen him shine with my dog, as well as with his own companion animals. He is careful and pays great attention to detail, all while keeping his focus on the happiness and well-being of his furry friends. He's a fantastic caregiver!”

“Destiny lives down the street from me and she watches my dog luna while I’m out of town or working a long shift. Luna absolutely loves her and she is great with her. She doesn’t just come and let her outside and feed her but she spends time playing with her and showing her some love while I’m not there. Destiny is very dependable and trustworthy. When I go out of town she will even stay the night at my house to make luna feel more comfortable. She is such a sweet animal lover.”

“Cariline has taken care of our two Golden Retrievers for close to 5 years now. She is always reliable and punctual and our dogs always seem to be worn out and happy after she takes cares of them. Would recommend her services to everyone!”

“Heather is awesome! We moved up to the area from Raleigh and were looking for a new pet sitter for our two dogs and are so happy we found Heather. She took care of our pups and even watered our plants. The dogs were so calm when we came home. Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats and reptiles. I am experienced with puppies through to senior dogs. I understand all animals have a different set of needs. I am currently enrolled in college! Hoping to make some extra money by taking care of loving animals. I want all animals to be in a safe and caring environment! I always try to go above and beyond for my animals and others. It is our job to give them what they need since they are unable to speak for themselves.

“Pam did a great job checking on our dog. She sent pictures and text messages during the visits. We hope to use her again in the near future.”

“Hannah always takes excellent care of all of our fur babies. They absolutely love her! She is very conscientious, always timely, very detail oriented, and puts our pups' needs first.”

About: Hello (: I’m Shannon, 28 years of age and have 2 furry friends myself. Bailey (golden doodle) and Tucker (Flat Coated retriever). Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pet wants and needs. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. Your fur baby will be supervised 24/7 and get plenty of attention. They can play outside, watch TV with me, or even snuggle up in bed. This is their vacation and I’m here to make it there best vacation. I grew up in Wilkes county and currently still reside in Wilkes but I also provide services for Surry County. I can’t wait to hear from you and meet your fur babies. Thanks, Shannon

“Brooklyn is a true dog lover! She loves my dog just like she does her own. She is dependable, responsible, loving, caring, and she is the only one I consider when I need a sitter or someone to just come by and let him out. She gets right on the floor and loves on him and he just wags all over. You will definitely be pleased. She's by far the best dog caregiver I have ever encountered and I give her the highest of recommendations!”

“Elisia is wonderful! She loves my dogs and treats them like hers. She is very patient and loving to my animals. Thank you so much.”

“The pictures I get sent of Binks shows me the happiest boy. He has as good of a time on his walks with Savannah as he does with me. I made the right choice having her walk him.”
