About: Hello! My name is Nicole. I am a Sophomore in college at Appalachian State University. I currently have no other responsibilities besides school, so I am pretty flexible! I have a few months of Rover experience, and in that time, I got to care for both cats and dogs of different sizes and needs. I have a dog and a cat of my own, as well as 6 years of pet-sitting experience. These experiences included dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. In that time, I enjoyed being able to care for every one of them and got to form close bonds with each as well. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my #1 priority, and I will always make sure to care for your pet to my fullest extent. This being said, no job is too big or small! I aim to create a stress-free and fun environment for everyone. I potty and crate trained my 3-year-old puppy. I’ve also had experience with all kinds of dogs from previous dog-sitting jobs, including big dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs with severe illnesses. Please feel free to reach out at any time. I am a quick responder to all forms of communication. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently a sophomore in college, and my only responsibility is school. This being said, I am pretty flexible and willing to work around my schedule if needed! i have a four-year-old toy poodle which I care for daily with the help of my family. He is crate-trained meaning I can easily provide this device for your dog as well. He is a hyperactive puppy who I love and adore!

About: I have always been a HUGE dog lover. I was raised with dogs and there has never been a time where my family has not had a dog. In 2020 I started my own pet sitting business back home and accumulated over 60 clients. My business offers walks, drop-ins, training, overnight care, baths, and more! I have taken care of puppies, teens, middle-aged, and senior dogs. I have taken care of dogs with special needs and medical issues like diabetes. I started riding horses when I was 7 years old so there is no dog too big or too small! I take care of each and every dog like they are my own and I absolutely love my job. I cannot wait to meet your pup(s)! I am currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule. Class Tuesdays and Thursday 8am-10:45am. No class Monday, Wednesdays, or Fridays. I go to the gym once a day but that time is fit in work and school schedule! I offer pet care in the client's home. At the moment my roommate and I have 2 dogs one just being a few months old so I don't offer pet care in my apartment until he is older.


About: I love animals! I was raised around animals all of my life. My parents had a hobby farm, complete with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, emu's, sheep, ducks, pigs, etc. We bred and raised dogs of all kinds: huskies, dalmatians, chihuahuas, beagles, labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and so on. Since my childhood, I've helped feed, care for, and even administer medicine to our animals. I moved to Lexington KY in the Fall of 2010 and decided to take care of others' furry friends while they're away. I started and ran my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 7 years. I ended up closing down to do some traveling. But I sure miss getting out and spending time with my furry friends. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just out for the day, it will be my Joy to take care of your pets. From midday walks and home visits, to puppy breaks and house sittings, I'll treat your pet as my own, and make sure they get plenty of lovin'. “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s what I try to live by. And I’ll bring that ethos with me everyday to Caring for your seeet fur baby or babies.

In the clients home, I will care for them according to the clients standards and by following instructions down to the letter in order to prevent issues.

“I highly recommend Emerson. She walked my one-year-old Golden Retriever Jackson 3x a day for a week. When she came for her initial visit, I could immediately tell she was an animal lover and would treat Jackson as if he were her own dog. I also instantly saw how comfortable and confident she was walking a larger, energetic puppy – she had complete control. Throughout the week, she was incredibly prompt, professional and reliable. She gave regular, detailed and fun updates throughout the week. I could not recommend her more highly.”

I also live with my childhood dog who is now a senior pup. I give her medicine, treats, keep track of her protein intake, walk her and make sure her water and food bowl is full. I care for pets in a loving way, being gentle with them and respecting all boundaries and reading their body language. I will ensure each and every pet has all their needs met and will give them lots of pets in between! I will respect the clients space and keep them updated on their pet throughout the time of service!

I’m very adaptable based on care needs and am happy to be flexible for each family. My focus is always on keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable.

Hello! I am currently a farmer turned student, recently back in college after a few years as an organic vegetable farmer. Now I’m balancing the demands of finishing my degree in evolutionary biology with my love of animals, plants, yoga, and simply being in awe of nature. Petsitting allows me a flexible job while I’m in school and gives me a chance to connect with the community in another way. I love the chance to meet everyone’s furry companions & learn more about people outside of my daily rhythms. I am an avid cyclist and hiker, so am happy to take along any pet that's down to adventure at the nearby trails.

“Honestly I was a little unsure about even ever having a dog walker walk my sweet baby because for one I didn’t know if they were going to take care of her or do with they said that they would do. Or the possibility of losing my baby always crossed my mind but I knew that my beagle needed to be taken care of while I spent time at work for eight hours. so I hired joyful Pawz. Right away I started noticing that my dog had more energy was so excited to see Joy And her Snapchat videos that she sent me of my baby while I was at work Joy always stayed super involved if anything seems out of place or seemed wrong.

“Bella cared for my beloved cat, Drogon, while I was out of town skiing for the weekend. Drogon has a dog-like personality, but he normally turns into a typical indifferent cat around strangers.

I would definitely recommend Bella for your pet-watching needs.”
