Pet Sitting in Sylva

About: Hi! I come from a loving multi-pet home and I am looking to extend my services in walking, check-ins, and sitting. This would be the perfect solution for those families heading back to work in the office who are looking for some help throughout the day or even overnight. I can provide walks, playtime, out of crate lounge time, as well as meals and medication delivery if that is needed. I am familiar with crate and rotate households and understand and respect the needs of each individual animal. I am happy to chat with you about the specific needs of your pets. Very much looking forward to helping you in the future My work schedule is 24 hours on followed by 72 hours off. This allows me several full days each week of available time to spend caring for your pets I like to make a connection with each pet and treat them as if they are my own. I really enjoy spending time with animals and try to meet pets who struggle with anxiety/stress where they are at.

About: I had the wonderful opportunity to have pets (the majority being doggos) since I was four! I truly just love being around animals! I sadly can’t have any animals in my residence now hence why I am here, I do want to say that I will do my very best to make sure any pets are well taken care of and loved when I am pet sitting! I am looking forward to future opportunities!! As of right now my schedule is pretty open, especially with summer coming up. Mornings especially but, we can always speak further about that when figuring outs dates that are needed for sitting. As of right now, when I visit back home to see my mom I help her with our two dogs, Sandra and Zeus. I also help out with our chicks. My biggest thing is just communicating, if there are specific ways an animal needs to be looked after I am very willing to help I just would prefer we talk about it extensively, as well as making a list of priorities for the pets.

“Erice is personal and professional. She takes very good care of Sunshine. She's very reliable. She has stayed overnight and done drop in visits. She's a wonderful sitter!”

“Rebekkah was phenomenal! Great check on photos. I know my two cats were in great hands and can tell she really cares about giving them some love and attention!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾

“I couldn’t have asked for someone better!! Aj did such a fantastic job with our 3 cats. She was always sending the cutest updates and pictures when she dropped in. She made sure they got in lots of play time on her visits and was always on top of the food, water and litter boxes.”

Dawn R.

“She provided an extra special touch with her service and was VERY quick to respond to all communications. She did a truly great job and I will definitely book her again!”

Katy B.

“Caitlin is wonderful! She was so quick to respond especially on such short notice. I really appreciated how thorough the visit card was. Communicative and punctual, I would definitely ask her to sit my baby again!”

Claire G.

“Isabella did a great job caring for my 3 cats. She was very neat and communicated with me each time she came over to feed and clean their boxes. Highly recommend.”

Anne R.

“Lillie has been exceptional with the dogs and equally exceptional as a professional. She has house sat and dropped in with my dogs on several occasions. She is communicative, punctual and treated my dogs not only like family, but maintained our training and routine. Owning a large working breed requires a certain proclivity and understanding that Lillie has. It is hard to find this level of care or trust that is required for in home dog sitting. My only complaint is that she has other clients and I can’t have her all to myself!”

About: I have dog sat for many of my friends and family's dogs for the past couple of years. I have walked, fed, and bathed many dogs before. I am very reliable and you can count on me to take great care of your pets! I am currently in my senior year at Western Carolina University. I am looking for dog sitting jobs and am available through the week and weekend. I can go back and forth from my apartment to dog sitting, on Mondays I am done with classes at 4, and Tuesdays by 5. Every other week day I am done by 12:15. My schedule is very flexible and I am care for your pet whenever needed! I will walk your dogs as needed and make sure they get lots of playtimes and snuggles. I will stay with your pet as long as needed and make sure they stay happy and healthy and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ cats my entire life. The last 2.5 years I have been working in Vet Medicine and have experience with many types of dogs/cats in various situations. My goal is to provide you with peace of mine that your fur baby is properly cared for & loved while you are away. Caring for animals is my passion! 🐾❤️ I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with MANY types of animals. I work part time at the clinic right now. So most of my time is home with yours pets 🥰 I do prefer a meet and greet with me and your pet before the drop off. I have dog lot fencing put up in multiple spots of my yard, with plenty more that could go up as well depending on how many stays. Dogs do not intermingle outside of families, other than through the fences. I do have a Min Pin, 2 Pit mixes, and a GSP rescue, who have their own area and wouldn’t be around your pets. I would do crates/outside lots for all pets. They would get 4+ potty breaks throughout the day. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to accommodate where I can.

“These two did a great job taking care of our pups while we were gone for a week. Would definitely use again.”

“I can't say how happy I was to find Amanda! I am new to the area and finding a trusted sitter was such a relief. My kitties were happy, very well cared for, and mom and dad got to rest easy and know they were in good hands while we were away! Will definitely be booking again.”

Emmy S.

“Ashley did a great job looking after my 2 large dogs and cat while I was away. She was flexible when our schedule changed, professional and very easy to communicate with, keeping me up to date on my furwads and drop-ins. I highly recommend:)”

About: I grew up with pets which ranged from dogs to cats to chickens to a horse. I currently have a 8 year old Boxer and 1 year old cat who I rescued from a shelter! I would love to have a goat farm one day and be able to do goat yoga. I enjoy being around all pets, especially dogs. I think that all animals are special and deserve to be treated with lots of love. As a pet sitter/walker, I can come visit with your pet to provide food/water, playtime, walks, any other care that is needed to support your pet(s)/family and provide lots of love! After our pets are family. I work full time at a school but school is out so I have more time to spend with your pets as well as my own! I can crate your pups if preferred. I can walk your pup and send you updated photos on how they doing! I will provide your pets with lots of love!

“Did a first meeting for her to meet my dogs and it was wonderful! My Pip is very skiddish and he warmed up to her immediately. Huge feeling of relief for me! My old girl was also very comfortable with her! Will 100% be using SJ for various visits and help as the need arises!”

“We are new to Rover and were very nervous. Leigh has been wonderful! Clover loves her and she is very communicative and always sends us photos and an update at each visit!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

“Jenna is awesome and kind! She dropped in on my Kitty while I was out of town and was very genuine and great at communicating. Kitty immediately came up to her upon meeting (not usual for my cat). Loved her drop-in updates. I will definitely be booking her again, next time I go out of town.”
