So Happy to have found Stephanie on Rover for Sailor Girl's walks! Stephanie is dependable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

About: I work as a veterinarian technician, and I am certified in animal medicine. I have been walking dogs, boarding dogs, and doing in home visits for many years. I love all animals and care for each as if they were my own. All pets have free roam of my home inside and out. They truly will live as they do in their own home. No pet is kenneled! (unless deemed necessary by owner) Although I work in a Veterinarian Clinic, your pets will not ever be alone. Someone is always home with them, even when I personally can not be. You won’t be disappointed with the care they receive here. I also have a Facebook page you dedicated to the pets I board, and walk. I currently work part time at a Vet Clinic in Kingsport. I only work 20 hours a week. So most of my time is spent here. Even when I’m Not here someone always will be home. Hopefully I can soon have pet sitting as a full time gig and I’ll be home and with the pets ALL THE TIME!! Our house is in a very quiet neighborhood, we have 3 dogs a cat who has 3 legs we have an acre of land they can run around on, but it’s not fenced in yet. We have to walk one of ours out on a leash and can accommodate this with your pet as well.

Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

About: I’ve taken care of animals from the time I could speak: from hunting dogs, cats, ducks, horses and more. I absolutely adore animals, I cannot stay away from them, and I would love to help you care for them! I have cared for animals in various circumstances, administered medication and special care, and am happily suited to all personalities:) I‘m a student at UNCW and work part time as a waitress, so I’m just looking to make a bit of extra money for school doing something I love. I will help cater to your pet’s needs in whatever way possible. Taking walks or runs on leash, going to a dog park, or just having play time.

About: I like dogs more than most humans. Let me meet your four-legged baby, and we could be friends forever. We can go splash around in a creek or go to the park and throw frisbee. I work and go to school part time, but I have several days during the week I can devote my time to your fur baby. I’ll make sure your animals are fed and hydrated. I aim to stimulate them both mentally and physically so they can burn off steam. Don’t worry if they are high energy, so am I; so we will get along just fine. :)

About: Hi! My name is Jade and I am an avid dog enthusiast and college student. I currently own a 1 year old Australian Shepherd and boy oh boy does he have energy. Before him I had another Aussie (female) who acquired cancer around 7-8years old, because of this I have sadly become very skilled with working with sick/hurting dogs. I also love to train dogs, my current Aussie has a Novice Trick Dog title from AKC and we are working on his intermediate title while learning Conformation skills and Therapy dog skills. I am very patient with the pups and am a big believer in positive reinforcement. My Aussie is registered and I am very good friends with his breeder who is very knowledgeable in this field and is always happy to lend a hand. Currently I have no dogs at home, because I live in Tennessee for college and my Aussie is back with my family in Texas. Thanks for your consideration!! I’m currently a student, so I have a very flexible schedule in which I can take care of animals in your home or mine! I love walking dogs (I live in a safe-gated apartment complex) and chilling on the couch with sweet cats! I have a large apartment, and can take the dogs on long walks to suit their needs. I’m diligent about always feeding and watering animals before myself and am fully committed to the wellbeing of the fur babies in my care!
