“Kayla is very timely with walking our dog and thorough with her responsibilities. And I bet if our pooch could do it, he’d give Kayla two paws up. I recommend her.”

About: I'm a former US Marine, retired and I love taking dogs on walks. I've done house sitting on and off for years due to my freedom from any responsibilities like work or family. I love cats too!

I'm available to walk your pets at your like and in the event of emergency, can use my vehicle to take the pet to a provider of your choice at no extra charge. I'm provide regular checkups via phone or email including pictures. I dont mind if you have active security and surveillance at your property.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 17, family, friends, neighbors, have relied on me to walk, watch, and play with their animals. I am currently a college student and I have a very flexible schedule and loads of free time to help out with anything your animals need I follow what the owner says the animal needs to take care of them the best, make sure i give them loads of play time and walks and care.

About: I have been pet-sitting for many people in my neighborhood since I was 11. I love animals and providing a loving presence while their owners are away! I am a student at App State, and committed to my studies, but can certainly fit in time to take care of your furry ones. I’m usually in class until around 2, so my afternoons are pretty free! On the weekends I work part time in the evenings usually until 8 pm and can still come by afterwards. At my apartment I keep my cat, Lucy, inside. She’s fed twice a day and I clean out her litter box every day. My roommates all love her too. When I had dogs growing up, we had a fenced in backyard and loved taking them out on adventures and playing with them at home.

About: I’ve been trusted with the animals of many friend, family, coworker pets over the last 20 years. Prepared to feed, play with and care for your pets! I currently work full time at Appalachian State university but willing to travel during the day, before and after work in order to support family pets in need! When meeting new animals it is important to lay a foundation of trust. I have had pets my entire life and know that each animal has different routines and needs. My priority would be to ensure the animals feel as safe and secure as possible

About: I’ve been very passionate about pet sitting since I was 14, caring for every type of pet from tiny fish to large dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s keeping a senior dog comfortable, playing with an energetic kitten, or tending to a full fish tank, I love giving each pet the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Caring for my dog named Millie has made pet care an everyday part of my routine. From morning walks to playtime and feeding, I’ve learned how to keep a pet happy and healthy, and I bring that same love and attention to every pet I care for. At my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space for pets with a consistent routine of play, exercise, and meals while also ensuring that my dog and the dog I care for are comfortable together. For pet sitting in clients homes, I stick to their pets’ usual routines, offering the same care and attention to ensure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away.

About: I've taken care of pets, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, for about a decade now. I love helping fellow members of the community with their pet sitting needs and pride myself on compassionate care for pets to make them feel like their owner is still there with them. I am an effective communicator, responsible, and accountable individual. I look forward to helping you feel both secure about and fulfilled with your pet's care! I have just recently completed my time at Appalachian State as a student athlete and, as I am wrapping up my graduate degree, have very few in-person classes. I love spending my time on walks and have plenty of free time to spend keeping your pet company and exercised. I have my own vehicle and can make many visits a day at any time needed. I have experience with walking and caring for dogs that have a wide range of needs. I am able to care for dogs that are not friendly with other dogs, dogs that love making friends with other dogs, dogs that have a bit of a rough past, dogs that pull, elderly or physically challenged dogs that can't walk for too long, and dogs that can walk for hours and hours. I love all cats, whether antisocial or absolutely crazy, or anything in between! No matter what the personality of your pet, I will do my absolute best to make sure that they feel all of the love I have to offer so that they don't miss a beat while you're gone!

“Andrew was prompt and professional. He obviously cares about dogs and tended very well to our sometimes energetic Black Lab. We will certainly use his dog walking services in the future as needed.”

“Ella was communicative and on time. She was attentive to my dog Laney. She’s clearly a dog person and is great with Laney. Although we are working on Laney’s fear of walks with other people, Ella has been accommodating and flexible with this. I plan to hire her for regular walks going forward.”

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.

“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 been living in Boone, NC since 2000. I am a graduate of (ABC) Animal Behavior College's Dog Obedience Instructor Program, and I am now offering my services of dog dog walking & drop-ins with options for basic obedience training. ABC Dog Trainer Program is approved by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI). I originally came to Boone to attend Appalachian State University, where I received my BFA in Graphic Design in 2004, pursuing that career full-time for 15 years, before expanding my horizons to various other fields including event management, administrative work, and dog training. My flexible schedule allows for day or night dog walking/sitting, weekdays and weekends. *IF THERE IS A DATE THAT IS LISTED AS UNAVAILABLE THAT YOU NEED PET CARE, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. SOMETIMES I AM AVAILABLE FOR A PORTION OF THE DAY, EVEN IF I THE CALENDAR SAYS UNAVAILABLE.* I currently work from home, and I have a very flexible schedule. Generally I am available, with the exception of the month of May, as well as mid-August through mid-September, although this schedule may vary from year-to-year. I typically accept up to two to three dogs at a time for walking/sitting. When not under supervision, or at night, I require that dogs in my care must be boarded in crates. Crate time is kept to a minimum, and is solely used for the safety of the dog. Enrichment time is provided at intervals throughout the day in the form of walks, play time, optional training sessions, and more. Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines or titers results. I generally request meeting the owners with their dogs before the first time dog sitting.

“Abigail, was awesome! She was very approachable and understanding to Ozzys needs and I know he enjoyed her taking him out in the morning. I appreciated all of her efforts. Especially it being so hot this summer. Thank you very much Abigail!”

About: I love taking care or dogs and cats of every kind. Ever since I was 12 I’ve taken care/loved on my neighbors pets while they were out of town or even my own. I really enjoy getting to meet new animals and care for them as my own. I’m currently working for myself remotely. I set my own schedule, this allows me to be available for most times throughout the week to love on your pet. I love to take my dogs for walks/runs. So, if that’s what your dogs prefer (or cats, can’t exclude them!) I’m happy to take them on daily walks/runs. As far as nighttime routine, I prefer doing what’s best for your pet. Every pet is different so I can crate, leave in designated space or allow the pets to free roam at night based on the preference/instruction of you the pet owners / pet parents

About: Reliable pet sitter for over 10 years and experienced in puppy training, senior care, medications, and routine-based care, providing attentive, personalized support for every pet. I want to make sure your pet receives loving care when you’re not there. I am a student but I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable walks and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I can make most any time or day work! I care for pets in familiar, stress-free environments, maintaining routines, cleanliness, and safety while providing gentle, attentive care. I prioritize safety by following instructions carefully, keeping environments clean and calm, and treating every home and pet with respect.

About: I have grown up taking care of many different dogs in all shapes and sizes! I used to walk my neighbors’ dogs when I was a kid, and the past couple years I have loved going to the Watauga Humane Society to take some shelter dogs on walks. I have my own dog that has very specific needs so I am also accustomed to more high maintenance pups. I love meeting new friendly dogs and have experience caring for young puppies, more senior dogs, and everything in between! I currently work part time and am available four days of the week! I can do mid-morning through evenings Sunday-Wednesday. I can do drop-in visits as well as dog walks! I have one dog and two cats at home! All my animals have free rein of the house, and one of my cats is an escape artist so I am always watchful of doors in case he decides to make a run for it. All of the animals are indoor only, with my dog going outside to play and use the bathroom regularly.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Over the years we have had small dogs to large dogs. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes. Also enjoy playing with cats! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to hang out with your four legged friend! I am available for drop in visits, walks, hikes and house stays while you are away. I will treat your pet just like my own! I will take and send pictures and videos through out the stay. I will follow your instructions to a T. For evening drop in visits I will have my kids with me if that is not OK please let me know.
