“Jimena was wonderful and made our dogs feel at home right away! She provides expert care, love, and attention. Our dogs had a fun play day today, and we will definitely be back!”
“I love working with Gracie. She’s kind, easy to communicate with and great with dogs. Bonuses are she has a fenced in yard and her own dogs to help train my puppy. She really saved us in a bind and was flexible to extend our stay. Our dog is treated as part of her family. She is our go to boarder.”
“Heather was perfectly confident and capable, punctual, communicative...all the things we need from a dog sitter and a sweet person, to boot. We have a 16 week old puppy and he is quite a handful. Heather happily took him on to begin with, and in the end she said she actually had fun with him. And I believe her! She kept him on his potty schedule and made sure he got enough sleep. We were very happy with Heather and we loved the sweet photos of her dog playing with ours. Her dog is so very gentle and loving to our little guy and it was a perfect match.”
“Excellent care. Fran went above and beyond caring for our dog. He had tummie issues while we were gone and Fran even cooked special food for him and fixed the problem. Her communication was very informative the entire time. Fran even went to our vet for ear drops. Wow! We could not have found a better sitter than her. A real GEM!!!!”
“We were so impressed with Kourtney. She was professional and compassionate about our requests for 4-month-old puppy Holly. She sent us pictures and updates several times per day and always got back to us within minutes of messaging her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and will surely use her again. Holly seemed very happy while she was there and I think she misses Kourtney and her husband. Thanks again for everything!”
About: “I’ve had dogs as companions since I was a child, and they’ve always been cherished members of my family. I treat every animal in my care like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not just a job, but something I truly love. Living in the Appalachian mountains has taught me the value of a calm, grounded lifestyle, and I bring that same peaceful energy into the care I provide. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, elderly, or needing extra comfort while you’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, loved, and at home in my care.” “I care for every pet with the same attentiveness and love that I give my own children. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I work hard to create a calm, dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for.
“Excellent experience. Amanda and her family were very accommodating, communicated with us every day on how our Shelby girl was doing. They went above and beyond for this overly protective dog Mom! Highly recommend.”
“Our pup Ella had a great time at Melissa’s this weekend. We were a new client so we were a little cautious about leaving her when we saw there was a big dog there. The dog was going to be picked up later and it turned out the two got along fine. Ella loved sleeping with her son on his bed and playing with their little pug. Melissa kept us informed and sent pictures. Will be using her again. She is very qualified and caring.”
“Kayla was great! We were gone for a weekend and left our 5 month old German Shepard with her. She sent us daily pictures and updates about our pup. We would recommend Kayla for watching your furry friends.”
“Kelley has been absolutely amazing with my dogs! Thank you for all the photos and FaceTimes! Without a doubt, I would use your services again. Thank you for taking such great care of Aubri and Remi! 💛”

My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy afternoon naps. Dogs enjoy frequent outdoor time or inside play depending on the weather and their comfort level. While I do occasionally step away for short appointments, pets are never left alone for more than two hours at a time, and always in a safe, comfortable space. Your pets will get lots of love, care, and companionship - not just supervision, but genuine quality time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Cleanliness and safety are part of my daily routine: food and water are refreshed regularly, litter and waste are promptly managed, and all playtime is supervised. Your pets will enjoy a spacious, peaceful environment, balanced socialization, multi-pet expertise, personalized attention, flexible accommodations, and all-day care. I keep a close eye on each guests’ comfort, routine, and personality, ensuring they get the right mix of activity, affection, and rest.

“We are so thankful to Kitty for looking after our little pup! She gave Lana a wonderful vacation week and we would highly recommend her. It was the first time leaving Lana overnight and Kitty made the whole process really smooth for us. Arriving at her home with the beautiful fenced in yard and peaceful surroundings gave us a great feeling straight away. She gave us time to get Lana settled and listened to our preferences for some house rules during the time there. She went over and above to give us not only updates and photo check ins but she also shared really valuable tips she had noticed in terms of our pup's development and maturing and was actively invested in working on them while Lana was with her. Thank you again!”
“Katy was great! She was very communicative and willing to flexible about drop off time/location. She sent some updates and pics of Bender, and he was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a Dog Sitter and it went amazing! If I ever go on a long vacation again, I would rebook with Jacades! Communication was excellent, and she constantly kept us updated. I would 110% recommend to anyone looking for a Dog Sitter.”

“Miss Kitty was a lifesaver! She took our Labrador, Greta, at the last minute even though her schedule was already full. She truly helped us out of a jam and made it possible for us to enjoy parts of our vacation we otherwise couldn’t have. We were even late picking Greta up, and Miss Kitty was so generous and accommodating about it. Greta had a wonderful time playing with her new puppy friends, and when we picked her up, she looked at me like she was ready to stay longer! We’ll definitely book with Miss Kitty whenever we’re in North Carolina. You can’t go wrong leaving your pet in her care.”
“Leaving our beloved dog, Abby, with a total stranger was a first for us, but we were camping and needed a dog sitter for half a day. From the moment we got out of the truck, Gracie was interacting with Abby. It was like they were old friends. Abby had a fun day with Gracie, her dog, and the fenced in backyard. Gracie also sent us the cutest picture. She deserves the 5-star rating and has our highest recommendation!”
“Melissa was great. We were traveling with our dog and wanted to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. Melissa's house was about 20 min from the bike rental shop in Damascus, and it worked out perfectly to drop off our dog for a few hours while we biked. She has a big fenced in the back yard.”
“Kourtney was fabulous with our two pups while we biked the nearby Creeper Trail. She is friendly, took wonderful care of them, provided exercise and treats. We would definitely visit her again!”
“Bo had a great stay at Jimena’s place. What a fantastic setup she has for her dogs. Lots of space inside and out. She was super friendly and responsive during the booking and boarding process. I highly recommend her and will definitely use again when I’m back in Boone.”

“Lane and his family took excellent care of my puppies. He was very accommodating on drop off and pick up times and provided several pictures and messages throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again.”
“I recently moved to the area and need a lot of help with my 2 boys given my hectic work schedule. Monica has gone above and beyond caring for my dogs and it is the biggest relief. She keeps me updated throughout the day and has even spent some time training my younger dog on her own accord. She is honestly a life saver for our little family! I would recommend her to anyone for walks!”
About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have three Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.

“Holiday week and work is crazy! Meredith walked porter 1.1 miles and gave him a much needed break. Thank you Meredith! I liked the pics of my dog during the walks, and I appreciated that Meredith was willing to come visit Porter a few days before walking him to let him get to know her.”
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.
About: Hi! I'm Megan! As a former Kennel/Vet Tech with Vet Tech schooling and growing up with dogs, cats, horses and chickens, I have always had a special bond and connection to animals. I have experience with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! My husband, Josh, and I live in our camper van, so we are able to provide constant care for your pets while you're away. When you book us for overnight sits, we take care of your pets and stay in your home as a team of professional petsitters. Josh works remotely in IT, and I work some weekends in the wedding industry, so with no physical, daily job to go to and no house/pets of our own to check on, we are able to spend a significant amount of our time taking care of your pets. A bonus of our luxury care is that your pets will get double the love and attention from us throughout the day; our goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and for them to hardly know you're gone! Living in a van and working remotely comes with so much flexibility for us and our Rover clients. Pet parents value the level of care we're able to provide with our nomadic lifestyle. Petcare is my full-time job, so when you book us for a housesit, that is my main priority. While I'm the main caretaker, Josh learns about your pets' care needs and helps out a ton as well, especially if I have to work a wedding or I need to do drop-ins/dog walks. We work great as a team to meet your pets’ needs and to keep their normal routine. We take the safety of your pets and the care of your home very serious. If you have pets that require special attention or have high anxiety, we are there to ensure everyone is safe, relaxed, and taken care of. We care for your pets as if they were our own and you can be rest assured they'll not only have their needs met, but be loved, played with and given plenty of attention as well!
