“Jimena did a terrific job of pet sitting my 2 dogs. They were well tended, with excellent communication and photos and videos thru out their stay. I will definitely reach out to Jimena again thru Rover for the next time I need to board them. Thank you, Jimena!”
“Heather was great! She was flexible with timing of drop off and pickup, which I really appreciated. She was super positive about my pups stay, which was great to hear at pick-up! Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Boone area!!”
“Jill was able to watch my two dogs last minute and they had so much fun! She took wonderful care of them and made sure they had plenty to do while they were there with her. ☺️”
“Chestnut was awesome- we felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 year old cocker with her. It was obvious. To me that she loved dogs and mine would get amazing care & love. She sent daily updates & pictures which my entire family loved seeing. She communicated before, during and after my dogs stay. We had never used Rover before but would most definitely use Chestnut again should the opportunity arise. It was a good feeling and comfort to know our dog was in good hands.”
“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 fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.
“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Laura took great care of our dog Bailey. She was very kind, accommodating, and understanding when we had to change our booking in the last minute. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how Bailey was doing. Bailey had a surgery recently and Laura helped her to fully recover. We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”
“Katy took wonderful care of our two pups. They are full of energy! She helped get them settled and was a good communicator with us. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).
About: I have 10+ years of experience with cat and dog sitting, and also have experience caring for farm animals (I've worked on several farms). I’m comfortable and experienced working with pets of a variety of ages, from young kittens to older senior pups. I am available for pet sitting gigs in your home most days of the week. I also offer doggy day care and overnight boarding in my home Thursday afternoons through Sundays. I’m a flexible and responsive sitter, please reach out to connect! Our home is located in a private, quiet country setting. We have a fenced in yard for pups to play in. We have a dog ourselves who enjoys time with other pups and we also have an outdoor cat. Happy to take dogs on walks, run around in the fenced area, play fetch. etc. And, if cuddling is their thing, then I'll be curled up right beside them. Snugs = the best.
“Melissa was welcoming and very flexible boarding my 11 year old Australian Cattle Dog. She provides a nice indoor environment and a large fenced in back yard. I would definitely book with her again.”
“We left Bella, our 6 month old pit mix with her and she did absolutely amazing! We got daily pics and updates of Bella and she would always text back right away! Bella had so much fun and we will for sure be having Kristy dog-sit next time we go out of town! Thank you Kristy!!”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
“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.”

About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.
“Angel is phenomenal! She sends lots of pictures and always gives my girls lots of attention and pets. She is detailed oriented and I always feel comfortable when I have her coming by to check on my girls!”
About: I have cared for many different cats before, and can never get enough of it! Cats are my favorite animal and while they do not need as much care as a dog may, I’m always down to hang out with your furry feline until you return home.
About: I’m waiting for the day I can own my own cat but until then I am all yours (and your cats). I strive to always personalize the care I give and will work with you to make sure I am able to give your cat everything they want and need. I have cared for many different breeds and personalities and my favorite thing is to find out what I can do for them to trust me. Having that breakthrough is essential.
About: I grew up on a farm and so I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was a child. I’ve had many dogs and cats as well as other farm animals so I have a wide range of experiences. I am capable of both infant and senior animal care if needed as well. I am currently a student and working part time but I have lots of time before and after my classes and work to care for animals, I have a car and live close to the town center of Boone. I have my own cat who I take care of but I love to spend time with any animal I care for making sure they get enough socialization in addition to any feeding or cleaning they might need.
About: Pet care is my full time job, so I have open availability! I am also a proud owner of a fully trained German Shepard. I’m open to doing dog walking/playtime, day sitting and overnights! I’m a full time student graduating in criminal justice with bachelor degree this coming summer 2027 who is responsible and dependable. All prices are negotiable depending on the needs. I’ve been a pet lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. I’m 22 yrs old now and a proud owner of a 5 yr old German Shepherd who is fully trained. I believe all animals deserve one on one attention, care, & Love. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are met first. Along with assuring each pet is happy and are enjoying their time with me. So much that I want them to be excited with just hearing my name. Whether in my home or at a clients home I follow any specific care instructions, maintain a clean space and provide consistent attentions, love and care to help pets feel safe and happy in my presence.
About: I've taken care of animals since as long as I can remember! In total I have had 1 Beagle, 2 Golden Retrievers and 3 Cats to my name. I have fostered a total of 6 rabbits, 12 Cats, and 1 mouse that was pregnant and turned into 10 mice. As a former elementary school teacher and now a preacher, I’m used to being responsible, attentive, patient, and dependable. I also help my boss run a local business, which gives me a flexible schedule rather than a traditional 9–5 workday. This allows me to have plenty of flexibility and availability to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m organized and comfortable managing schedules, routines, and responsibilities. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they need. My experience as a teacher has taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of being attentive to individual needs. You can trust that your pet will be treated with love, safety, and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I live on a good amount of land with plenty of space to provide your pet with a safe, active, and stimulating environment. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs, from regular exercise and playtime to companionship and individual care. I also drive a minivan, which gives me the ability to safely transport pets when needed and provide opportunities for outdoor time and adventures. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, playing outside, going for a ride, or simply relaxing and keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get a good balance of exercise, attention, and love. I can also help look after your home while you’re away by watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and making sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands!

I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, reliable hands. As a college student, I don’t have the time to have a pet of my own right now, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with animals while helping other pet owners. I genuinely enjoy caring for pets, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I love being able to give pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away.

“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.”
“Ollie had a great time at Carola’s home! He was happy when we picked him up and slept like a baby from his day filled with play! Thank u for taking great care of my Senior:).”
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.

“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”
“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”

About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. We don't deserve the love they bring and give out unconditionally. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.
About: My family has animals and I have spent 9 years helping take care of their dogs and two cats.

“I had an emergency and needed someone to take my two rough collies on their twice-daily walks. One is a retired service dog who is deaf, and the other is a young collie with epilepsy. Because of their special needs, I was quite anxious about finding the right person. Caitlin was exactly what I needed. She had a calm, reassuring presence and was warm, gentle, and playful with both dogs. She quickly understood their individual needs. By the second day, they were eagerly waiting for her arrival. Luna, the service dog, had never “done her business” on a leash before, but with Caitlin, she had no hesitation. Seeing that I have limited mobility, Catlin asked if there were other things she could do to be helpful.. I admire her initiative and appreciated her help. I will definitely be calling on her again.”
“Angel did a great job with walking our energetic Parsons Russell Terrier in the middle of the day, while we were stuck on conference calls. Very easy to communicate with in setting up the walks and sent several pictures and details about the walks. We plan on engaging her again.”
About: I currently have 12 dogs of all sizes, I love being around dogs and feel confident in my ability to handle any size or breed. I've worked around animals for over 6 years including at a dog grooming salon and animal hospital so I can bathe and brush any pup (or cat) who needs it as well as provide basic medical care needs. I am currently in school as a senior at ASU so I do have to work around my classes, however I will be as flexible as I can with your pets needs! I currently live in an apartment so I cannot house animals, however I am more than happy to drop in on your babies or take them for a walk! When I am with your pets I will do whatever they need in order to make them feel happy and comfortable!

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats for the last 12 years. Through this I have gained valuable experience with working with a variety of dog breeds. Although, my experience goes beyond this as my love for animals is one of my greatest traits. While working pastime at a childcare facility, I have enough time throughout the day to check on your pet, let them out for a potty break, or just keep them company! Depending if I have any other activities or events to attend to, I’m pretty much free all the time. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. For the dogs, we have a large, fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. All of our dogs have leashes and collars to ensure safety for us and our pets. As for the cats, they each have their own litter box which is scooped daily and their own food bowls.

About: Retired from workforce, former military, active person, daily walks with our dogs—neighborhood, parks, trails. Worked with certified dog trainer for our two dogs. Time on my hands. I am retired and have plenty of time when not playing with our own two dogs and exercising. They are the center of our lives. We have a fenced in back yard for our dogs. Since I am retired, and my wife works part time, I spend most of my time with our dogs. We will not bring client’s pets to our home nor will my wife be a caretaker.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 8 years. I value responsibility, care, transparency, and communication when in charge of someone’s pet. Nothing is more important to me than your dog getting to experience fun in a safe environment. I’m a senior at Appalachian State, and my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week, including days when I only have one or two classes. I have a dog of my own, so potty breaks, walks, and getting outside are already a big part of my everyday routine—and I’d love for your dog to join us! I especially love long walks, trips to the dog park, and finding fun ways for dogs to get their energy out while getting plenty of attention along the way. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I make sure to care for them in the way that makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means extra playtime, lots of cuddles, a favorite walking route, or simply some quiet company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello! I am Katrina. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in Recreation Management and a double minor in Non Profit Organizations and Animal Sciences. I am located in Clover, SC. I absolutely adore animals; that love started from our family dog, my yorkshire terrier, Buddy. I have a lot of different availability so definitely feel free to contact me and so we can work something out. I love meeting new people and pets. I have not only taken care of my own dog but many of my friend pets as well. In addition to that, I have experience working at a doggy daycare and grooming salon along with field experiences from school with a multitude of farm animals. I am a super quick learner and am so excited to meet many new animals. :) I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR certified and Pet Emergency Academy Reptile, Amphibian, Avian, and Small Mammal Emergency First Aid Certified. I am looking to build my pet care experience with doing Rover along with my job. My schedule is flexible which is why I’m always open to communication, figuring out how I can help you and your pet. I will follow any instruction you give me. I am comfortable crating a dog if uncomfortable situations arise. Reading body language is something I think is super important and practice often when handling animals. Constant check ins while I am with your pet is also essential in my care.

About: I have had and loved animals for all of my life. I own two dogs, a cat, and a few chickens. I also work as a dog groomer and sometimes at a dog boarding place. I am currently working part time three days a week so I have a lot of time to take your pets on a walk or check in on them! My animals are very spoiled and I would treat yours just like they were my very own! I have never called into a day of work in my life so just know I will always be there!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a toddler. I have fostered, pet sat for friends and family many times and recently lost my own dog of 13 years. I recently retired and miss having a pup in my life. I’m available and flexible for daily walks as well as able to provide boarding in my home. I am very attentive and loving toward all fur babies. I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.
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 just started a new job in Boone which means I have more flexibility in the spring/summer, less in the fall/winter. 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.
About: **Former housesitting duo with my husband! We have now settled into Linville Land Harbor and had a baby so I am only accepting drop-in and walk requests at this time** 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! As a stay at home mom with a husband who works from home, I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule! I would love to help out with drop-ins and dog walks! I 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, I’m there to ensure everyone is safe, relaxed, and taken care of. I care for your pets as if they were my 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!
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of two Australian Shepherd mixes, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been trusted with pet care from a young age and truly enjoy building relationships with the pets I care for. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. I offer dependable overnight care, so you can travel or rest easy knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved in a familiar environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine alongside my full-time job. I’m able to provide dependable overnight care, as well as morning and evening walks, feedings, and plenty of attention outside of work hours. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be available for midday walks. I’m thoughtful about communication and planning, so your pet’s needs are always met and you can feel confident they’re well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat both the space and the pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with not only your pet, but your home as well. I’m mindful of routines, house rules, and any specific instructions you leave, and I make sure everything is followed closely. I’m always respectful of personal spaces and leave your home just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — and for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
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.

“Jimena did a terrific job of pet sitting my 2 dogs. They were well tended, with excellent communication and photos and videos thru out their stay. I will definitely reach out to Jimena again thru Rover for the next time I need to board them. Thank you, Jimena!”
“Heather was great! She was flexible with timing of drop off and pickup, which I really appreciated. She was super positive about my pups stay, which was great to hear at pick-up! Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Boone area!!”
“Jill was able to watch my two dogs last minute and they had so much fun! She took wonderful care of them and made sure they had plenty to do while they were there with her. ☺️”
“Chestnut was awesome- we felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 year old cocker with her. It was obvious. To me that she loved dogs and mine would get amazing care & love. She sent daily updates & pictures which my entire family loved seeing. She communicated before, during and after my dogs stay. We had never used Rover before but would most definitely use Chestnut again should the opportunity arise. It was a good feeling and comfort to know our dog was in good hands.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Laura took great care of our dog Bailey. She was very kind, accommodating, and understanding when we had to change our booking in the last minute. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how Bailey was doing. Bailey had a surgery recently and Laura helped her to fully recover. We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”
“Katy took wonderful care of our two pups. They are full of energy! She helped get them settled and was a good communicator with us. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).
About: I have 10+ years of experience with cat and dog sitting, and also have experience caring for farm animals (I've worked on several farms). I’m comfortable and experienced working with pets of a variety of ages, from young kittens to older senior pups. I am available for pet sitting gigs in your home most days of the week. I also offer doggy day care and overnight boarding in my home Thursday afternoons through Sundays. I’m a flexible and responsive sitter, please reach out to connect! Our home is located in a private, quiet country setting. We have a fenced in yard for pups to play in. We have a dog ourselves who enjoys time with other pups and we also have an outdoor cat. Happy to take dogs on walks, run around in the fenced area, play fetch. etc. And, if cuddling is their thing, then I'll be curled up right beside them. Snugs = the best.
“Melissa was welcoming and very flexible boarding my 11 year old Australian Cattle Dog. She provides a nice indoor environment and a large fenced in back yard. I would definitely book with her again.”
“We left Bella, our 6 month old pit mix with her and she did absolutely amazing! We got daily pics and updates of Bella and she would always text back right away! Bella had so much fun and we will for sure be having Kristy dog-sit next time we go out of town! Thank you Kristy!!”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
“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.”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
