House Sitting in Sugar Grove

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. Right now I’m taking a summer class in the month of June, which is 8-10 am everyday. I usually work in the evenings during the week. I’ll always let you know if I’m working during your booking! 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.

“Morgan did an amazing job with our 3 boys! Will certainly use her services again!!”

“Andrew was great! He took excellent care of Willow and sent photos throughout my time away. Willow peed on my couch while I was gone and he got supplies to clean it and it is like it never happened. I would recommend booking with Andrew.”

“Caitlin took excellent care of our two rough collies! We felt we could never leave them before because the youngest has a seizure disorder and has a routine of medicine at night and in the morning. The oldest is 12 and has had some incontinence issues in the past. They both love Caitlin! The youngest had no problems taking his medicine. They both ate and went on many walks. When we returned, we were welcomed by two very happy collies. We are very thankful for Carlin and will definitely call on her again.”

“Camryn was wonderful! She had great communication, left the house spotless, and gave our animals lots of love!”

Amy C.

“Angel was timely, communicative, and overall the perfect pet sitter! We intend to use her services again and again. She sent lots of pictures, and took wonderful tender care of our post-op dog during his recovery.”

“Shannon did so amazing with Stanley! We needed a dog sitter last minute due to an unfortunate airbnb situation so needed to stay in a hotel. Shannon sent pictures and took great care of him for 7 hours!”

About: I grew up with two dogs in my house, a pug and an English lab. I have extensive experience caring for animals and have cared for many pets for neighbors, friends, and family since I was in my teenage years. I am able to walk high energy dogs and have the flexibility with my schedule to spend 30 minutes to one-hour visits if needed. I am currently job hunting; therefore, my schedule is flexible. I have the time to care for your animals based on your schedules and can make any times work. I can commit to short but frequent visits and/or longer drop ins that can include a walk and some play time. I am able to drive to your house and safely care for your animals. I grew up with animals and around animals making me comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I am extremely detail oriented and have wide experience house sitting and dog/cat sitting. I enjoy getting animals outside for walks or taking them to a dog park for fresh air and new smells.

“Pheobe was super easy to work with and did a great job with our three cats. She handled kitty digestive issues and wild kitten energy with grace and even kept the house tidy in the midst of cat chaos! Would recommend ☺️”

Taylor C.

“Heather exceeded all of our pet-sitting expectations! My husband and I went on a week long vacation and needed a wonderful person to care for our 2dogs, 2 cats and a garden full of flowers. I could tell by our dogs demeanor that they were loved while we were gone. Can’t say enough good things about Heather - highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even tarantulas! I work part time in a restaurant so my schedule is very flexible and open. I can work some longer night shifts so I unfortunately can’t always take care of puppies I will pay attention to the details you leave for me and communicate very clearly throughout the process. I think routine is important to animals and I intend to respect that.

About: I've been loving my cat and dog for a good 15 years, and have plenty of love for your babies too! I'm comfortable administering meds and caring for older animals. From my volunteering, I can handle many temperaments. I'm confident in walking a good few miles as well. I'm currently working part-time, and its the summer so Im out of school and have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! I'm officially only unavailable on Tuesdays from 4-6. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I have a fenced in yard with an older pup and a calm older kitty. It's just my Mom and I at home, so a calm, quiet environment. We've got a large backyard and plenty of energy to provide if needed!

“Christine did a great job with my cats. She sent me pictures and messages while I was gone, and they seemed to be well taken care of when I got home. I definitely recommend Christine!”

“Cassie was wonderful. I’m a nervous pet mom if I have to travel and Cassie was so wonderful with my dog and communicating with pictures and updates. Already planning to book her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I know how to train and love them endlessly! I will ensure that they get the best care they deserve! Most days I am done with classes by 3, and can walk your dogs however far you may want! Most weekends work for me at any time as well! I know how to gain their trust in the beginning. I’ve make sure they are comfortable with me before we continue anything. Their happiness is all that matters!

About: I absolutely love animals and have been pet sitting for a while now and have also grown up with both dogs and cats in the home. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats since late high school. Back home I have 2 dogs, German Shepard(11F) and great dane/German Shepard mix(1M) and I have a cat back home as well who is 12. I have experience with animals of all different ages, from 5 months to senior(16 years) with dogs and 3 months to about 12 years for cats. I also have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, I have one of each and have cared for other people's as well. I currently do not have work and am available all day Friday through Sunday. During the week I have classes but am available to drop in for pet care before, in between, and after classes. I follow the client's instructions exactly and ensure that the clients pets get the care they need.

About: I grew up beside a high energy husky pup who was my very best friend and the one who taught me what it means to love animals deeply. My mom modeled what it looks like to truly care for your pets as family, always prioritizing their exercise, comfort, and happiness. Now I have two pups of my own, and I finally understand what it means to devote your every day to their care. It can be stressful at times, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Raising pets really does take a community, and I’m so grateful for the one I’ve built here in Boone. Because of it, my pups are always supported, able to socialize, and infinitely loved. I want to make sure you and your pets have that opportunity too. I work part-time at Watauga Opportunities and recently graduated from Appalachian State! I’m always looking for extra ways to move my body, so dog sitting and walking gigs are truly a luxury for me: a chance to do something I love while helping others care for their pets. I'm available most weekends and am happy to work around your needs! I have a fenced in yard for playtime at my home, either solo or with other dogs. I like to keep a consistent routine for the animals I care for, so I’ll do my best to match their usual schedule and make them feel right at home. As for dog walking, it's important that your pup gets the adequate amount of exercise for their breed- so of course I will try to match that as well.

“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”
