Pet Sitting in Rutherford College

“Another relaxed week away with no worries about pets. The daily pictures are comforting. House and cats are all in order when we come home. Kisa is the best.”

“Carrie was so great with my two dogs Benny and Snow! My dog Snow is a little anxious and can seem scary but Carrie was so open and calm that Snow loved her immediately. Carrie asked lots of great questions when prepping to do drop-in's for us and also sent me lots of pics when she was here. She's great at communicating! Thanks Carrie!!!”

“Ann was great with our cat, and spent time playing with her while she was here. She went above and beyond just taking care of our cat, and brought our mail in and took the trash out! We will definitely be using her every time we must go out of town. Thanks Ann!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but Kaitie was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures during check ins and I know she made my babies feel comfortable. I will chose her again and again because she is absolutely amazing at what she does! Thanks Kaitie!”

“Madison was perfect for my pups! She was flexible, professional, and best of all my dogs loved her! My Dixie girl can be hard to warm up to at first but Madison did not like that intimidate her and warmed up quickly. As a petsitter myself, I am extremely particular so I’m very happy I found Madison to do my personal pet sitting, I highly recommend her and will be calling on her again for sure!”

“Patricia was a wonderful pet sitter, her concerned for Cali the cat was extraordinary and I had complete confidence in Patricia's care for the cat. He wanted to go outside and being so cold out.....she was able to keep him in and rewarded him the last day for his good behavior and he was outside for a while. Cali was waiting for her to come back in on a return visit. We were very pleased and coming home the cat was very contented and happy. Thank you Patricia, you were a Joy.....will be using Patricia again for our dog in the near future. Sincerely, Jan and Gary”

About: My years of pet care experience range from animal rescue to boarding facilities to volunteer work to doc training and to hospital care so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I work in the animal field, and so it is a daily job for me not to mention taking care of my own personal animals My animals are my children, and I would treat others animals the same way. I believe in being respectful of people’s opinions and the ways that they take care of their animals.

About: Hi, I’m Elle! With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals big and small—from playful pups and cuddly cats to goats, peacocks, and everything in between—I offer pet care that goes far beyond the basics. Whether your furry friend needs a fresh groom, a daily walk, or overnight companionship, I provide reliable, loving service tailored to their needs. I’ve built my business on trust, patience, and a true passion for animals. Pets aren’t just clients to me—they’re family. When you leave your pet in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe, capable, and compassionate hands. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my full-time passion. Because this is my main focus, your pets receive my full attention, love, and care. You can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands. I treat each pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort is my priority. During overnight stays, I offer baths, grooming, and cuddles—yes, they can sleep in the bed! I don’t use outdoor pens; instead, we enjoy playtime at the dog park and lots of indoor love. I care for each fur baby like they’re my own, giving them a safe, happy, and pampered stay.

“Our sitter Lori was fantastic,she sent us photos and updated us on how our kitty's were,I will definitely use this service and especially her again.”

“My girls loved Kristin and Kristin loved my girls! Kristin was very communicative and provided excellent care for my 3 dogs. Ruby can be chaotic and high energy which Kristin was able to handle. We plan to use Kristin in the future to care for our girls!”

About: I know how important it is for animals to feel at home, even when their family is away. I enjoy being able to be there for them so they don't have to be boarded. Animals are a special part of every family. I am flexible and work around my pets schedules so they feel at home while their family is away from home. I come to them so they don't have to leave home. I come right to the animal's home so they never have to leave. It makes me smile to know they feel safe in their normal environment while their family must be away.

“Dawn is amazing! She was very attentive to our pets Jack Cooper and Charlie Grace, sent us pictures after every visit, communicated well, was always on time, and showered our dogs with affection.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and devoted pet owner, I understand that pets are more than just animals—they're family. While I may not have years of professional pet-sitting experience, I've spent countless hours caring for pets of friends and family, always treating them as if they were my own. My dog, Jack, is my right-hand man, and in my home, pets are welcomed with love, comfort, and plenty of adventure. Whether it's lounging on the couch, snuggling in bed, or exploring the state park for walks and rides, your pet will be treated like family—because that's exactly what they are. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the ability to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday walks, or just extra cuddles throughout the day, I make sure every pet feels loved and important. Since I’m home most of the time, I can provide a consistent, comfortable environment where your pet gets the attention they deserve—just like I do with my own dog, Jack. From outdoor adventures to cozy downtime, their routine will feel natural, stress-free, and full of love. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I provide a secure and loving environment where your pet can feel at ease. If they’re staying with me, they’ll always be under my watch unless I need to step out briefly—during which they can either roam freely with my dog, Jack, or be safely crated based on your preference. I have plenty of experience with crate training and have a crate available if needed. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would in their own home.

About: I have owned, grown up with, and taken care of animals since I could walk. The day that I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I actually went and picked up my Pitty MIx from the shelter and we were best friends for the best 11 years. Animals are misunderstood in so many different ways, and require patience, attention to detail, and most importantly love. I am very driven, schedule oriented, can multitask, and observant in everything that I do. I have a reliable source of transportation, my own home in Morganton, and will always be just a phone call/text away. I have taken care of all age ranges from puppies to senior dogs, because I have owned dogs from birth until their final days. Its not the easiest thing some days but it is the most rewarding. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday 0600-1630, and off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pet care fits into my routine because I have a dog of my own that requires daily walks and interactions with others at daycare. I have a fenced in back yard, that I am able to watch from at all times. My dog is allowed on the furniture and also goes with me on car rides. My dog is everything to me and is reflective of that in my pride with other animals. They're family!

About: I’m a dog mom myself and I grew up taking care of animals! I treat every animal I encounter as if they were my own and give them all they love and kindness they deserve! I would be honored to help you with your furry babies and make them feel safe and loved while you are away! I’m a stay at home dog mom who loves taking my little guy out on adventures and he has never met a stranger when it comes to other dogs! We would love for your fur baby to join us on an adventure! If your fur baby is not that adventurous that is not a problem! I have a big fenced in yard and a fur baby of my own who would love to play with your dog. If your dog is not interested in playing with mine we have downstairs play room that is safe for your baby and has the freedom to play sleep and relax. There will be toys a bed and TV for he or she to enjoy and I will have access to them to take outside without them worrying about my dog interfering.

“Awesome! Attentive, caring and thoughtful.”

About: I have worked in the dog training/boarding industry for over 7 years. I have raised dogs since I could walk especially large and stubborn dogs such as German Shepard’s. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs. I recently moved back to granite falls after training dogs for over 7 years to pursue a career in firefighting. And meet some new four legged friends I live near the dog park and a large park so we can take visits there or go throw a ball in the large field.
