About: I have cared for animals all my life, growing up on a 20 acre farm. I have been a reliable pet/ farm sitter for over 10 years. I am passionate about animals, rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming 21 dogs in the past 3 years. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Tuesdays- Thursdays, I am available after 1 pm to walk/ care for dogs outside of my home. In my home, dogs are left for, at most, 5 hours in CRATES. I have a fenced in yard, two dog/ cat friendly canines who are crate trained. Animals are allowed on furniture in my home as they are FAMILY to me!

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: 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.

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.

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!

I’m a full-time community college student and work part-time, but I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Their well-being is my priority, and I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re away! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by providing attentive care, following their routine, and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, stress-free environment, give them plenty of attention, and respect any special needs or preferences. Their well-being is my top priority!

About: I have a hard time sitting inside on a nice day and understand your puppy probably does, too! As a mom to several anxious kitties, I understand that every animal comes with their own needs and personality. I'm happy to spend time walking, playing, snuggling, or giving space as needed. I'm a teacher with two weeks off in January and two months off in June/July. I have ample time to give your little friends a little extra love. I'm especially attuned to furry friends who, in their excitement, are eager to slip out the door as soon as someone comes in! I'm very mindful of keeping everyone on an leash and under constant supervision as needs be.
