“Lindsey has been the greatest dog walker for my pup. She takes good care of him and makes sure he has a long walk. If you ever need a caring and compassionate companion for your dog Lindsey is the best.”


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. On Monday's and Wednesday's I have a hybrid class that rarely meets face to face, this class takes place 2pm-3:15pm. Tuesdays I have class from 11am-12:25pm and Thursday's 9am-12:15pm. Friday's I do not have class. I go to the gym once a day but that time of that is fit our my school schedule and working 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.

“Emily is such a kind person and great with my dog. She did exactly what I asked for in terms of the route for Scout’s dog walk, sending pictures, and she definitely has an eye for the important details. I’m looking forward to having Emily walk Scout regularly.”

Other skills include: -Deep cleaning and administrating medication for flea prevention. -Using a variety of automatic feeders and chip-reader feeders. -Deep cleaning mechanical feeders and water bowl. -Neonatal kitten care: Bottle feeding, stimulating their elimination, keeping safe, warm, and clean. I’m currently part time and will be available during the afternoon and weekends! I can do other times if I’m somehow available or have enough notice. I currently have two cats! Harlow (3) and Sasha (4), I love them so much and want to give them the best life! Ways I do this is… enough toys, tall cat tree, and bird feeder to stimulate them mentally and physically so they won’t be bored or act out due to boredom. I feed them grain-free food and treats to make sure their tummy’s are healthy (they’re also very picky)! I clean their litter box twice a day and deep clean it weekly to prevent soils outside the litter box. I snuggle with them as much as I possible can!

I have a very clean home and safe for animals. I have a porched balcony and a nice backyard. I would be able to house animals for one day or a week!

About: My family has had a family dog for as long as I’ve been alive. In addition to that I’ve done multiple pet sitting and walking for both dogs and cats. I love animals and am using this time when I can’t have one to love the animals around me. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Whenever I have watched pets in the past, I work my schedule around their needs. My previous job even allowed animals so I could bring them to work with me and give them care all day. My apartment doesn’t have much space for pets but I’m very familiar with the local pet friendly places in the community and socialize them based on the needs of the animal. I have experience providing daily pet medication including insulin injections 2x per day.

About: I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, I’ve had many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals as well as any types of administrative medicine and training! Pet care is always a joy to me, as a college student I try I balance life and school the same. Although I focus on my dreams in the near future I always go back to my roots with growing up with animals it’s my passion. My own animals at home which range from a variety of large farm animals and regular domesticated animals, I have a deep respect for animals and how they feel living in their environment. I believe all animals deserve the same treatment and respect, whether that be regular feeding and walking or even just playing with toys, I love making them feel special and comfortable.

About: Hello, My name is Sunny! I have always been a huge animal lover my whole life, from horses to rats I’ve taken care of them all. I also interned for the humane society for a little under a year while in highschool. I am a rising sophomore at App state and would love to fill my time with dog walking or house sitting. If you’re in need of any help with your animals don’t hesitate to reach out! I have a pretty open schedule this summer, I occasionally babysit but do not have a regular set schedule. I’m available to help on weekdays as well as weekends! I do not offer boarding in my home but am willing to care for the animals in any way that the owner recommend. I enjoys taking dogs on long walks to get their energy out and spending quality time so they don’t feel lonely while the owners away.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a toddler. I have fostered, pet sat for friends and family many times and recently lost my own dog of 13 years. I recently retired and miss having a pup in my life. I’m available and flexible for daily walks as well as able to provide boarding in my home. I am very attentive and loving toward all fur babies. I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.

About: I have 4 dogs of my own, 3 are rescues and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I’ve also taken care of friends and family’s pets while out of town and used to dog groom with a friend of mine. I currently work a full time job in Boone, Nc. I would love to be able to take care of your fur babies full time instead! Three of my dogs are crated while i’m not home but after Im home they get to run around inside and they are walked before i leave, and while Im home. Once Im doing this full time they will not be crated as much. I do not have a fenced in yard so they are walked instead as much as possible! But could also put up a temporary fence if needed!

“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.”


About: I have animal shelter experience and as a result, have worked with several different types of animals with different personalities and am very flexible and capable of working with very different acting animals. I have a very open and free schedule so I'm able to come and check on the pets as often as needed. I can spend long periods of time with the pets when needed. 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.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I have been pet sitting for the same family for the last 5 years since their jobs and family require them to leave often, but they want to make sure their animals never feel neglected by this. I have administered medication for older cats and dogs, fed and rode horses, learned how to intervene safely in the event of a dog altercation, and love just being around pets of all types and sizes. 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. I’ve watched houses with up to 7 dogs at a time, so I’m very comfortable with multiple animals and giving each one the attention they need.

About: I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love. Your pets will get lots of care and attention under my supervision- I work from home & prioritize play. 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 full time artist who works from home. Your pet’s excellent care will be my top priority when you hire me! They will receive as much love, play, walks and attention as you request. I live in a fairly large 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.

“Megan goes above and beyond for our pup and makes sure he gets his energy out on his walks and play time with her while we’re at work. Thanks so much for all you do!!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats from a very young age. My family has always had pets which taught me how to properly care for them. I now have two bunnies myself that are my whole world. I have also had past experience with pet sitting. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, and bunnies and I’m willing to learn how to care for any other pets you might have. I truly love all animals and I will love your pets just like I love my own! I am not currently working so I will have all the time in the world to spend with your furry friends! I can be there whenever you need and I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule. In your home, I will care for your pet just as you do everyday! Depending on the service you request, I can simply come by and spend some time with them a few times a day or I can be with them around the clock in your home. Your pets will be my top priority and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety, health, and happiness while you are away!

8. Sunny W.
“Sunny is the youngest of our three daughters and she was noticeably the animal lover from a young age. She has owned a variety of animals and has always been very attentive and loving to them all. As a family, we have always had three to four dogs at a time ( also a horse, cats, rats, hamsters... ) and Sunny was the one who was in charge out of our three daughters when my husband and I would leave town. At one time, one of our dogs had a seizure disorder and another had dementia due to old age both at the same time. It was a difficult time with all the meds and the general discomfort our dogs were in. Sunny was always diligent about giving them their medications on time and correctly and giving them the extra attention they so needed. She is always taking her dog Junior on hikes and to the dog park and whenever she has to be away from him, she constantly asks for updates and photos. Sunny will give your animals all they need while they are in her care. It has always been in her nature and it's what she loves to do:)”
