“Our family appreciates Jimena opening her home and caring for our fur baby Keanu. Thank you Jimena for the pictures and video you sent. Whenever we are back in town we will be reaching out to Jimena for her exceptional dog sitting services. 💕😊”
“This is the second time Lane takes care of my Molly and she looks so happy with him. He always sends me pictures and keeps me updated how she is doing. Will definitely continue with Lane. 😊”
“Gracie is a great dog sitter, she communicates well and timely, clearly loves animals, and provided a safe and loving home for my dog. Attie (my dog) had a great time fetching balls and playing with her dog toys. Gracie even sent a couple of balls home with her. I would highly recommend Gracie, and would not hesitate to ask her to dog sit again.”
“Heather was a great host and took very good care of our dog Tito. We had a change of plans and she was extremely accommodating for picking Tito up early. Would definitely have Tito stay with her again. Thanks again Heather!”
“Camilla was a 10/10 pet sitter. We had a great experience and hope to rebook next time we are in the area. She was quick to respond, great with communicating, and seems to be a genuinely nice and caring person. She also has a nice sized yard that is all fenced in which was great for our dogs and I felt great about leaving them with her for the night. Everything couldn’t have gone better and we defintiely would recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.
“I would highly recommend Chelsey for your boarding needs. This was our first time boarding our 5 month old puppy. He was nervous with the other dogs at first but soon wanted to play. Chelsey was very patient and understanding and gave Red a lot of attention and helped him be confortable.”
“Lisa was an excellent caregiver! From Day 1, she has been very flexible and accommodating with time changes and scheduling requests. She was able to keep Lexi longer than anticipated! She is very good with communication as well! Thanks, Lisa, for everything!! :)”
“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!!!!”
“I am so glad I contacted Melissa to take care of my babies. I needed someone to take care of my two pups for a couple of days and Melissa responded right away to my message. I had an emergency and I had to find a dog sitter at the last minute. One problem I had was that I have a pup that doesn’t get along with any other dog except his sibling. She made it possible to work around my trouble dog and have him stay with her. I was afraid I wasn’t going to find someone to take care of them. Even though I didn’t get to meet her in person I had trust in her to take care of my babies. She sent me pictures and videos of my pups :)! Plus, Melissa had a pug of her own which made it pretty amaze for my pug to play with another pug!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was really nice. She sent photos and updates that made us feel comfortable. Peanut has to eat four times a day and take medication, and Elizabeth didn't have any problems with that and let us know that he stayed up to date on his meds. Peanut was relaxed when we picked him up. He didn't seem stressed at all. We would book with Elizabeth again. Super grateful to have found her for a last minute business trip!”

About: I cannot remember a time in my life where my family didn’t have cats growing up. It was instilled in me at a very young age on how to provide space, love and comfort to any temperament of feline we adopted throughout the years. Our Bengal is a true member of our family!
“Gracie is super sweet and always notified me when checking in 🙂. She really had my back when I needed her last minute! My house was left in a good condition and my cats loved her dropping in on them”

About: I have been caring for pets since a very young age, rarely going any time in my life without a cat, dog, mouse or snake! I am currently staying home full-time with plenty of space to welcome furry friends into our little sanctuary while providing lots of love, care, patience and play! We have a large yard with lots of space to play and run around. We offer an open door policy with canine friends who enjoy both inside and outside time. All pets are welcome to free roam our home as well!
“Andrea was fantastic with my special girl! She came back exhausted and had a blast from all the videos and photos I was sent. Andrea was super kind and flexible with a slight shift in scheduling. Blueberry has already asked when she can go back. :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Katy took care of my 5-month-old puppy, Bagel, for three days while I was in the area taking a painting class. Bagel is a very sweet, social and energetic puppy who loves people and other dogs, but he can become overstimulated around other dogs and doesn’t always know how to settle himself yet. Although I had explained that ahead of time, I don’t think either Katy or I realized just how difficult it would be for him to settle in a new home with another dog around. Katy really did try hard to make him comfortable. She took him on walks, played with him, worked on calming him down, and even made a trip to the pet store for a stronger harness, leash, blanket, treats and other things she thought might help. She communicated with me throughout the day and was very honest when she felt Bagel was becoming more than she could comfortably manage for a full day. After two particularly challenging days, we agreed to shorten his third day. Interestingly, he seemed to be settling in better by then, and Katy ended up keeping him until about 2:00 rather than the noon pickup we had planned. Bagel was always happy to see Katy and willingly went with her each morning, which meant a lot to me. I also really liked Katy personally and appreciated how much she cared about making the situation work. Bagel was simply a much bigger handful in her home than I expected, and I think being around another dog all day made it especially hard for him to turn himself off and rest. I’m grateful for the effort Katy put in and for how much she genuinely cared about Bagel during his stay.”
About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs & cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, chickens, lizards, and a chinchilla. My love for animals is limitless & my goal is to improve the life of every animal I can reach. I am currently taking courses online to sharpen my skills pertaining to grooming, learning different breeds, training, diet & health. I have acquired many different brushes, supplements, flea combs, scissors and other supplies to keep your pet clean & tidy. I keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind. There is nothing I won't do to ensure the safety & happiness of your pet. Frivolous is not in my vocabulary 🫡 I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.
About: I have taken care of many animals over the years and always grew up with animals. I am very knowledgeable in pet care and any other needs. I currently work close to home so commute is not far at all. I have a very flexible schedule with work and can be available at many different times. I have a fenced in yard, that is very safe for all dogs. I have one small dog of my own, who is very friendly and loves other dogs.

About: Not only have I taken care of dogs for a family vet since I was 9, I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for years! I’ve taken dogs on countless walks, playdates, and even administered medication and provided first aid. Your pup is loved and cared for in my hands! I currently attend ETSU full time, with many gaps between my classes. I am available pretty much all day, every day, with the exception of a few one-hour classes! I come prepared to visit your pup! I let them approach me at their own speed, pace their walk how they please, and observe their body language and adjust accordingly! I have experience in introducing dogs, providing medical assistance, general care for all types of animals, and in rare cases, swiftly and safely breaking up dog fights.
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.
