About: I absolutely love dogs and cats. I am willing to do check ins when you go out of town. I love all size dogs. If i do check ins I can come pretty much anytime of the day. I am also available on weekends. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I have watched dogs for many friends and family members. If you let me watch your dogs i will take great care of them for you! Dogs are the best animals and they are fun to be around. I also cat sit. I have a diabetic cat so I know a lot about cats. I will board your dog at my house but they have to be friendly with young kids and another dog and cat. I am also not too far from Weaverville. I’m a stay at home mom so I can be available all different times of the day. I am available weekdays and on the weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have bushes that separate it from the road and I can stay outside with them.
“I was a little nervous about leaving Bella with people I hadn't met but I was thrilled with the way Katie walked me through it. Bella was happy and I could tell they took care of her like family! They will be my first choice always! Thank you Katie and Jeremy!”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Second adventure for Charlotte at their place and second great experience! I think Charlie would rather be here than home since she gets to romp around with so many friends and other happy doggos. If we go out of town, or if we just want to drop for doggy daycare, this is the place we will always check first!”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“So kind and worked with us on short notice! Great at communicating and sending lots of cute pictures. Could tell she made our dog very comfortable! Definitely will use her again in the future. :)”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“This was our first experience ever boarding our dog and Samantha made that such a peaceful experience! She’s great at communication, sent us pictures and videos, and provided our dog such a peaceful home away from home. We will definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Maria and Jose took great care of our girl. They instantly made us feel comfortable and asked great questions to understand all her needs. They sent us tons of videos/pics throughout her stay which put us at ease knowing she was having a blast playing with their dogs and going on walks. I highly recommend them as they were great with our puppy.”
“This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Jen was wonderful. Went out of her way to make sure the dog would be safe and happy. Bought her a toy, walked her a bunch and sent her home happy and worn out from playing. She was a lovely person, easy to correspond with, and took great care of Flora. Thank you, Jen!”
“We had our small pup, Tinkerbell stay with Vicky for 4 days & nights. She was so good with Tinkerbell, we were so impressed how much time & attention was given to our sweet Tink. She went on 3-4 walks daily, had children to enjoy, many videos & photos & they had toys to play with. Tink had a great vacation too. We loved Vicky & would highly recommend her for dog walking & boarding! Thank you Vicky, Tink can’t wait to come again for a visit with you & we appreciate your excellent care with her. Debbie & Tom”
“Terri has watched my pup a few times now and it's been great each time! The most recent time was for a whole week. I was concerned about finding someone who could handle a wild and not-yet fully trained puppy and Terri has been so sweet, gracious and relaxed about everything. She even sent me photo/video so I could see how Zelda was doing. I love the farm atmosphere that Terri provides. She's clearly a true animal lover and Zelda seems to enjoy spending time visiting with both the human and animal friends she's made at Terri's. So glad we found someone capable, trustworthy and kind!”
“Kayla was great! My little guy is a high-energy puppy, and it sounds like Kayla managed him very well. He seems happy, healthy and well brushed! Kayla also sent me several photos and was always super responsive to texting. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much! I messed up and forgot to schedule a sitter for one of the days we were gone and Kayla was great! She went over when she was able to to take care of them for us. Very thankful and would book again!”
“Once again Alex was awesome, took loads of adorable pics of the cats in action with their feather toy. He played with them and loved on them. The house is immaculate and he even left a little present for Christmas for the cats! Thanks, Alex!”
“Julie did an amazing job connecting with my cat. Usually when I return my cat is not very happy. The cat was very peaceful which matters since she’s elderly and has health issues. I highly recommend Julie. I also felt relaxed while away getting updates on a daily basis.”
“So happy Rosaria was available for my last minute booking. I will definitely be using her in the future she’s so kind and sweet to my dogs they loved their time with her. She went above and beyond letting them play out all their energy.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and comfort their cats while away. I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and especially good with shy or sensitive cats who need patience and a gentle presence.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience! I've always had pets in my life, and believe spending time with them is therapeutic. I’ve had many dogs (large and small), including very energetic border collies, as well as lap dogs and cats. I've also had pet rabbits, hamsters, chameleons, fish and tree frogs, and I've even rescued 6 squirrels. I have several years of experience dog-sitting, including over-nights for several weeks with multiple large dogs at a time. I love nature, hiking and running and would love to take your dog with me to explore the outdoors! I will give your pet lots of love and affection and treat them like my own! If your pet has any special needs, please let me know. I am very trustworthy, reliable, responsible and communicative. I earned my bachelor's degree in both Art Education and Psychology. I'm a former teacher, nanny and Behavioral Health Technician. Currently I'm a self-employed professional watercolor artist. When you book with me, you are also supporting a working artist.

About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from my own to even cleaning horse stalls. Have experience owning chickens too! Our pets need love and attention just like we do! I will talk to your loved ones, play, walk and feed them. I work from home during the day, if your pet would like to hang out in my office during the day, I do short walks on my breaks. I am also available to stop by in the evenings for walks and feedings. Weekends I’m usually always available, let me know what you need and we can see what works for both of us, to make sure your loved one gets the very best care. I can stop by for visits, take your dog on walks, send daily pictures and updates. If you need me to come by a few times a day, I am available for that as well.
About: I have always loved and spent time around dogs, mostly, but I care deeply about all animals. I am patient and compassionate with them in a way that I think many others are not. Most recently, I’ve had tons of experience taking care of my own two dogs, Pepper and Toby. I also went through a rigorous training program with them, alongside their first owner, my partner, that immensely improved their behavior. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furry friends! I have lots of time off with my current job, so I will be able to be flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my schedule! I am a very methodical and detail oriented person who can follow any possible instruction related to pet care. I will treat all of my clients’ pets like they were my own!
About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!
About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.
About: Since I was 16, I have been the go to pet/home sitter for the church I grew up in. Word spread quickly of my reliability and soon, it became a full “part-time” gig. I’ve cared for birds, cats, dogs of ALL sizes, reptiles, fish, mice and lots of other gerbil sized fluff balls. Along with classic domesticated animals, I’m also familiar with caring for a handful of farm animals such as; chickens, goats, and horses. I’m currently working in the wonderful world of Wilderness Therapy. This means I work 15 days in the field and then have 13 days off. During these 2 week periods of free time, I would be honored to care for and get to know your pets! I’m primarily offering housesitting and drop in visits as I have 2 feline friends, Chloe and Noir, at home that are wary of “strangers”. I will spend as much time at your home with your furry child as you’d like, even staying the night if you’d prefer. The mornings and afternoons are dedicated to the doggos, specifically going on walks or getting some exercise! I am a reliable and trustworthy character that is honored to have this opportunity to snuggle and play with your hairy loved ones.
About: I love all animals and love giving them the care and attention you do! If your dog is up for it, I'll take them for a run or to the dog park near my house. Getting outside and running around are very important if your dog is able. As are snuggles, of course. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to do whatever your pup needs. I have a year old Aussie-Hound mix pup also and she loves to play with other dogs. She will be with me most of the time and is a great partner for old or young dogs. I think communication is key, especially in watching your pet! To ensure trust and allow you to rest easy, I'm happy to text and send photos throughout my time with your sweet animal! I feel that it's an honor to be trusted with your pet. I work full time but have flexibility in my schedule to be home with your pets, take them on walks or hikes, play, feed, and snuggle, of course. I live on a private spacious farm with lots of rooms for dogs to run and play. My pup loves other dogs too. Your pets safety and care is the upmost importance!

“We were in a position where we had to find another doggie day care and boarding option. Fortunately we found Brody. He is obviously good with dogs, calm, communicative, and accommodating. Most importantly, our dog is happy to be there. We will definitely be using Brody from now on!”
“I will definitely be bring Yuki back!!! 10/10 recommend. This was my first time doing a doggy daycare and I was very nervous about leaving him all day. However, Stefani was really good at communicating with me. She sent messages and pictures all day. He had so much fun that he didn’t cry when I picked him up as he usually does when I arrive home. Once home he crashed and slept really good. Stefani’s backyard and the great company he had was perfect for him to play and run. Thank you for making this such a great experience for us. Don’t hesitate and book with her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. I also grew up with 4 medium sized dogs at a time. I have always had a love for animals and love to meet other fur babies. I have been able to follow feeding instructions and if needed have followed giving medications. Just a heads up I will not be accepting bookings from June on until I am sure where I will be after college. I’m currently a senior in college with only 2 classes and 2 labs, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I have a small, fenced yard and I have one yellow lab at home that is very dog friendly. I will follow up with you anytime I arrive at your house and will provide a recap of my time with your animal. I will follow all instructions given to me ahead of time to ensure you receive the best care for your furry friend. I will treat them as if they were my own and spend so much time ensuring they enjoy there time with me!
“Our pup had an amazing day with Miranda. Harry has not had a lot of experience staying away from home and spent an afternoon in Day Care with Miranda to help him become acclimated for future visits. Miranda very patient in giving Harry time to adjust and become comfortable in the new environment. Miranda has a beautiful safe fenced yard for the pups to enjoy. I am so glad to have found such a comfortable and loving place for our doggo to stay for overnights snd for Day Care socialization.”
“This is my 2nd review - both 5 stars! Jose & Maria take such good care of my precious Clementine. They listen & follow through with instructions, communicate quickly & genuinely care about my pup. Clementine has done both doggy daycare & boarding, both experiences have gone really well :)”
“She was amazing! I have a pug and haven't left him with anyone before and was super nervous but she sent me photos and videos very often which was amazing! I think he had a great time and is super tired for a car ride home!”
“April is AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough! She is so kind and caring and my puppy Oozo just loves her. He gets excited to go there and comes home happy and content. If I could I would give her many more stars.”
“Laird watched my 7 month old golden retriever Kai for 2 days while I was away at work. Throughout my work day I was updated with pictures and videos of Kai having a great time. Both times I went to pick Kai up not only was he worn out from all the fun but he was so happy. That lets me know he enjoyed his time so much! I would definitely recommend Laird to anyone looking for a quick doggy babysitter! Will be back for sure!”

About: I have more than 10 years of experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have interned under licensed veterinarians, volunteered with countless animal rescue groups, was employed as a shelter manager for a no-kill animal shelter, and have worked at two different doggy daycare centers. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and have completely fallen in love with the problem-solving aspects of dog training and how it allows me to help owners and their pets live happier, less frustrating, lives together! I do have a full time job and an adolescent Border Collie, but am available for overnight stays in your home or in mine and will give all my extra time and attention to your pup during my stay! My goal is for your dog to hardly miss you while you are gone and to keep their routine as close to normal as possible during your absence. I do currently have my own dog, Dash, who sometimes accompanied me on my overnight stays if your dog wants a playmate! I have been fostering dogs through local rescue groups and animal shelters for several years and have become accustomed to many different kinds of dogs in that time. Why I love dog sitting... I've loved dogs all my life! I got my first dog when I was 6, a black lab named Holly, and a Bichon Frise, Dixie, the dog who was considered by every member of my family to really be "mine" when I was 9. The years when I was in college and away from my dogs was hard and as soon as I moved out on my own, but couldn't yet afford my own dog, I started pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Since then, I have longed to have a dog in my house at all times, but wasn’t immediately financially ready for my own forever dog. So I have been volunteering at a couple of local animal shelters as a Foster Mom for dogs in need of a temporary home, and a little extra TLC, before they are adopted into their forever homes! As a professional dog trainer, I get to make my own schedule, which provides immense flexibility for walking dogs and doing drop in visits for pet care!! I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves to play! Dash, our Border Collie, often comes with me to overnight stays. When I come to your house to visit your pets, I’m always sure to leave the key where I found it and be sure the house is secured before I leave.
“Vicky was fantastic. Spencer was relaxed and happy when we picked him up. She was very attentive sent photos and asked questions. I was appreciative of her concern for my little guy. She was great. I highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer is just AMAZING!!! A true dog lover Hippie just walk away with her wagging his tail as he knew her! She went above and beyond with our beloved Senior doggie as he is needing some extra work and I’m tremendously thankful for that. She sent me pictures and updates constantly and that gave me peace of mind so we could enjoy our gateway trip to the fullest; also her home is really convenient if your going to spend the day at Gatlinburg and that is just a plus! If we go back, I will rebook with her in a heartbeat! Thank you Jennifer and Thank you Willow ?”
“Jess was so great with our dogs over thanksgiving. She sent so many pictures and stories, making us feel much better about the long trip away from them. We could tell that our dogs felt at home with her family!”
About: My husband and I work from home full time currently, are flexible, we adore dogs, and have 15 acres and would love to hang with your pup(s)! We walk several times a day, enjoy staying active hiking and outdoors, and staying at home. We have had dogs most of our lives. My husband has had dogs when he was growing up. I had a dog when I was growing up and we always take care of Rover and family's dogs when folks are out of town. We have a single-story home on 15 acres close to many trails. We do not have any dogs/cats of our own. We can pickup/dropoff pets.
About: I have been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, and birds. When I moved to the U.S, I lived in the country side with many dogs and thousand of birds (literally). Now, I have a little Chihuahua mix; he is like my baby. I also help my friends sitting their dogs when they are out of town. I love animals; I like to play with them and give them a lot of attention. I have experience administering medication to pets either orally or injectable . I am educated and trustful person who will respect your home and your pets. I am able to pass a background check if it is required. I have a cellphone and my own car. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. Our jobs are very flexible, which means we can take your dog for walks during the day. I have a very friendly old Chihuahua. My house is big, comfy and very clean. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there's no traffic.
About: I can board small dogs at our house, and I can sit large and small dogs and horses, chickens and just about any other animals at your house. (We just built a new house with hardwood floors and no fenced yard!) I have loved and trained dogs, cats, and horses since I was a young child. I love and respect all animals, and I get along with most of them right from the get-go. I am retired, healthy, and like to get out and about. I do expect pets to behave, and have the utmost respect for the boundaries you have set for your pet. Some years back, I trained our brown mutt family pet to play the role of Sandy in the HS performance of Annie. She brought the house down at curtain bow! I believe in training animals by showing them respect and being very clear about what it is I am asking of them. So let's go! I want to meet your dog!
About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.
About: Hello! I have been taking care of various animals (dogs, cats, rabbits) nearly my entire life! I have been a dog walker/sitter for others fur babies since I was in high school. I have experience with all different types of quirky personalities and health needs. I adopted my Nellie girl (cocker spaniel) in 2017 and she has not left my side since! We love staying active and she loves to cuddle. Nellie is comfortable around all friendly dogs and cats, and is always up for a game of tug of war. We added summit to the family last year and she is an absolute sweetheart. I currently work from home all through the week so I am available for plenty of walks, attention and playtime in the yard all day long. I have a large rural yard (no fence) and energetic pups to keep yours busy! Any dogs in my home has free rein of the house(couch, bed) but can easily be crated if desired. If preferred I have a spare room (I call the doggy room) for senior pups or dogs that just may need some alone time.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”
About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.
About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

If you’re looking for someone who understands the needs of dogs and can offer a nurturing environment, let’s connect! 🌟 **Flexible Pet Care | Work-from-Home Professional** 🌟 I work from home most of the time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends. 🏡🐾 **Availability:** - **Weekdays:** I work from home most days and have a predictable schedule. - **Weekends:** Available for day care, walks, and more.

I live in apartment complex, so I cannot provide home services at this time.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily. I am currently working independently and using this time to create and spend time with nature’s gifts. My schedule is very flexible - and I am willing to work with you! I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, I grew up with dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, horses, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs. I feel like I’ve had it all, I am also a very seasoned Vet tech. I am expierenced with giving animals medication as well. If I am watching a dog I will be sure to make sure they get enough exercise, and any other pets I will make sure they all get love and cuddles! My own pets are super spoiled, and I would treat your pets just like they were my own. I don’t care about breeds, from working in a vets office I do have experience with animals that can sometimes be moody. I sure hope I get to talk to you soon! I do currently work 3 days a week, so pets that will be staying in my home will be taken care of before and after work by me. My partner is also at the house throughout the day and treats any animal that comes into our home like his own. I will take your pups for walks/hikes, and to the dog park if your pet is dog friendly. I believe allowing them to get their energy out is very important.
About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.
About: I have always loved and enjoyed caring for animals. My home has always had a four legged family member occupying space. From rabbits to pot belly pigs it’s such a joy to love and care for them. I’m currently a full time student that takes online classes. So my schedule is pretty free and flexible. I don’t have a traditional job so I’m home a lot. I have a front and back yard that I can walk your fur baby in. I also have 2 friendly fur babies of my own to keep them company.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and I grew up around animals. I love going on walks and taking care of dogs and cats I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week as well as weekend. Just need a few days notice beforehand I don’t currently have a fenced yard but i will leash your pets and the pet must be crate trained if I am not around.
About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!
About: I have always had animals in my life. My first job was working at a dog kennel and I absolutely loved it! I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and am also great with cats. You can trust that your furry loved one will be well taken care of! I work from home in Weaverville currently. I am signing up for rover because I am passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I am available weekdays after 5pm and full time on the weekends. :) I am respectful of other peoples space and will keep clear consistent communication about your pets needs and how I can help ease your mind as much as possible. I understand that our pets mean the world to us, I am reliable, trustworthy and will provide excellent care!
About: I am 44 years old and have many pets throughout the years. Currently I have a super high energy, playful little rescue from Brother Wolf. She is a lab/cattle dog and keeps us on our toes. She loves to play with her 6 doggie best friends next door and would love your dog too, I am sure. I am high energy and love to take the dogs for walks and even down to the river when allowed and appropriate! our home is a lovely rural home with lots of space to play and explore. Our home is clean and safe and comfortable. Your dog would be treated as well as our own! We have tons of space to roam on leash. Thanks for your time!
About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for about 10 years now. I have experience from bottle feeding new born kittens to our giant German Shepard’s! I spend the entire day hanging out and playing with the pups. We have an area for them to play as much as they want. I’m home all day to make sure your fur baby has everything they need to stay happy and well taken care of. We have a crazy amount of toys, outside we have a hurdle jump, and tennis ball launcher. We make sure their never bored and have lots to do!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 13. I fostered border collie/lab puppy from 2 weeks to 8 months old a few years ago. I have cared for and lived with many different cats and dogs of different ages and with different temperaments-- I would love to spend some time with your fluffy family member! I'm currently in between seasonal work with Outward Bound, so I am totally free to care for your pets. I can be contacted on a last minute notice and I will gladly help. I unfortunately cannot have pets at my home, but I'm happy to take yours to parks/on hikes or hang out at your place, be it staying overnight, going for potty breaks/play dates, etc.

About: I absolutely love dogs and cats. I am willing to do check ins when you go out of town. I love all size dogs. If i do check ins I can come pretty much anytime of the day. I am also available on weekends. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I have watched dogs for many friends and family members. If you let me watch your dogs i will take great care of them for you! Dogs are the best animals and they are fun to be around. I also cat sit. I have a diabetic cat so I know a lot about cats. I will board your dog at my house but they have to be friendly with young kids and another dog and cat. I am also not too far from Weaverville. I’m a stay at home mom so I can be available all different times of the day. I am available weekdays and on the weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have bushes that separate it from the road and I can stay outside with them.
“I was a little nervous about leaving Bella with people I hadn't met but I was thrilled with the way Katie walked me through it. Bella was happy and I could tell they took care of her like family! They will be my first choice always! Thank you Katie and Jeremy!”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Second adventure for Charlotte at their place and second great experience! I think Charlie would rather be here than home since she gets to romp around with so many friends and other happy doggos. If we go out of town, or if we just want to drop for doggy daycare, this is the place we will always check first!”
“Miranda is awesome! She cared for my dog Finn for an overnight stay. I could see that she is very patient and loving with the dogs in her care. Miranda also has a large enclosed yard for dogs to play. My trip to Florida was cancelled at the last minute due to my illness. Miranda helped me with a refund for payment. I would recommend her to anyone for pet care. Kathleen Mullaney”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Rosaria always does such an amazing job with my Lexi!!! She always has Lexi’s best interest at heart. She even fixes her fresh food and lets her sleep in the bed with her!!! I get plenty on photos and videos of my baby yo know she is ok and I love to see how much fun she is having with her friends.”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“So kind and worked with us on short notice! Great at communicating and sending lots of cute pictures. Could tell she made our dog very comfortable! Definitely will use her again in the future. :)”
“Jessica and Eric have been amazing with my pup Sisi. It was the first time Sisi boarding at a sitter’s house, and took sometime for her to adjust. Jessica has been so patient to her, and made her feel like home. Jessica also sent me multiple messages and photos per day just to keep me updated with how Sisi was, which I am very grateful about. I feel very trustful leaving Sisi to Jessica and Eric, and had my mind in peace while I was traveling. And definitely will recommend them to my other friends who need help taking care of their pups~”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“This was our first experience ever boarding our dog and Samantha made that such a peaceful experience! She’s great at communication, sent us pictures and videos, and provided our dog such a peaceful home away from home. We will definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Golda and her husband were great hosts for our dog Ringo. Ringo usually gets a little nervious staying away from us but it was clear when we picked him up that he was very comfortable with their family, children and a few other dogs in the big fenced yard to play in. We will definitely use Golda again!”
“Emma is amazing. Her set up is ideal and the outside play space is large and well maintained. Dezi was well cared for and we returned to a happy, healthy pup. I heartilly recommend Emma for pet's care.”
“This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Laird was great for our 1.5 year golden. We were from out of town but wanted to bring our pup with for some hiking but he couldn’t stay in the hotel. Laird was flexible as we want to pick him up for a hike and drop him back off the same day!”
“Sabrina is an incredible dog sitter! She gave my pups so much love and attention and made sure they got plenty of exercise. She even bought them toys, bones, and helped train them. She has a nice fence in yard with an entire dog playground! She also kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. She’s incredibly kind as well.”
“Kayla was great! My little guy is a high-energy puppy, and it sounds like Kayla managed him very well. He seems happy, healthy and well brushed! Kayla also sent me several photos and was always super responsive to texting. Highly recommend!”
