“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. 💕😊”
“Our puppy had a great time playing and running in Carlos’s large backyard with the other dogs she was watching. She had a wonderful 3 night stay and Carola send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated! We can’t thank her enough!”
“Heather took the best care of our dog, Betty while we were on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and communicating very well the whole time, we trust our dog to have the best time with her on future vacations! :)”
“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”
“Chestnut is fabulous! This was our first time leaving our 3 year puggle behind on vacation, she was loved and well cared for and we had zero worries. Love that we have a found a great sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Jill was great with our dogs. The property is fenced in with lots of shade. She made them feel at home, which is very important to us. My dogs don't do well in kennels and this was perfect for them.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was younger. I would get paid to walk dogs around my neighborhood and to check on cats. I love hanging out and loving on all animals! Being in college, it makes it hard to have one of my own, but this will allow me to opportunity to be around all the animals that I love! I treat and love your pets as if they are my own! You can expect the best care and love for your pets when you book with me! I love to send tons of pictures to pet parents to ease their minds when they are away from their fur babies! Also, forgive the last picture on profile unsure how it got in there and why it is there! Can’t delete it either. :) I just graduated from Wake Forest University, where I played volleyball. Volleyball taught me a lot about discipline and also shows that I am a very reliable person when it comes to scheduling and time management. I am a current graduate student in the SLP (speech-language pathology) program at App State and am available most evenings and all weekends! At school there is plenty of grass for the dogs to run around and I am able to bring the crate and everything into my apartment if needed. Cats, I am also available to do whatever is helpful and needed! I have my own space with no other animals!
“Communicated very well with us about some issues with our girl growling over toys with her dogs. Was very flexible and helpful with making it easier on us with transporting her on drop-off and pick up which was much appreciated.”
“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.”
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).
“Our first experience with Alyson was excellent. She did a wonderful job watching our LucyBelle. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and LucyBelle seemed her normal happy self when we picked her up. Will definitely be using her again.”
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.
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“My two babies loved Ken! And I felt so assured of the care he gave them as he sent lots of photos and took them out for fun activities (after checking with us to be sure it was ok :)). Would keep them with him again!”
“Thom was the absolute BEST dog sitter I have ever had. And I have been using rover for years! He sent me frequent pictures, videos, and updates of my girl while she was there. He took amazing care of her and handled her high energy so well! He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and so kind. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my girl with a new sitter. I recommend him to everyone!”
“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Erica did amazing with our baby Zeus. He was so tired from playing with her dogs that he went to sleep as soon as we got him home. He loves playing in water and she has a kiddie pool that he basically stayed in while he was there lol. She was a very sweet and gentle person. I would definitely book again. I text while we were away to check on on him and she always got back to me promptly and even sent photos which made me feel so much better. We hope to be able to leave him there again soon.”
“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.”

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 amazing! Booked last minute for Thanksgiving and she was still able to come over and meet my kitties before I left town. She was extremely attentive to what their notes were and their schedule. In the many pictures she sent, I could tell that my kitties were happy and comfortable to be with her! Will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Angel!!”
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’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.
“Megan and Josh were absolutely amazing house sitters! They took the best care of my girl Khloe, sent me daily photo updates, and left the house way cleaner than it was before. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. 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. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. If I care for a pet in my own home, I’ll provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection.
About: Until 6 years ago I've ALWAYS had a kitty of my own since I was 13. Usually just one sometimes 2 or 3 and the one time 2 adults and 5 babies. My absolute favorite is male tabbys especially the big body ones lol. Just something about those chunky orange kitties I can't resist.

“Gracie did an outstanding job watching my pets while I was away. She does a great job communicating both before I left when I was making sure she knew what I needed as well as sending me updates and some photos while I was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own (a mini schnauzer and a cattle dog). I always watch my families pets when they go out of town and they always know they’re in amazing care and are spoiled to the max when gone. They rely on bathing, feeding, walking or letting them out to run in their back yard, clean up accidents, and play with them. I do work full time unless my schedule changes so if it changes and I can always update anyone on that and go earlier if possible. During the week I am available to walk/check in between 7am to 8am before work typically unless my schedule changes and after work would be after 5:30pm unless my schedule changes and I get off earlier and weekends I am completely flexible! I can play with the dogs in your home or your backyard if you have one. Feed and water them if they’re on a schedule. Ensure gates/doors are locked/closed to ensure safety.
About: A little about myself, I am currently a teacher at John Battle High School. I can work most days and weekends but sometimes days conflict due to my work schedule. I have always been around pets my whole life and love interacting with them! I work well with all animals and have the most experience with cats and dogs. I offer the follow offers: drop in visits, walks, or in home sitting due to have two of my own dogs. I am looking forward to helping and becoming friends with your pets! They will be treated as if they are my own! I can make sure your pets are well taken care of. I have two of my own that will love keeping yours company and playing. I have two friendly dogs to keep yours company. Everything that will be needed for your dog will be sure to be taken care of.
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I work fully remote and am willing to travel. I would be able to give full attention to your pets. Since my job is remote, it gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Most of my days are spent behind a monitor working. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy
“Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly! Even though my dog gave her some difficulty in the beginning she was patient and quickly made him feel very comfortable with her. She always sent photos and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!”
About: I grew up with all different sizes and different breeds of dogs. I also dog sit for family members when asked and love to walk, feed, and bathe the animals. I’m a veterinary technician so taking care of animals is part of my everyday routine. My passion is taking care of all the little fur babies and making sure they are loved. I currently have two chihuahua mix’s and a leopard gecko so we have a daily routine of getting up to go potty, eating breakfast, playing and making sure the babies are set for the day while moms away at work.

“Great caring and compassionate person. Took excellent care of our young dog who isn’t used to being away from her owners. Great experience for us as first timers. Will definitely use Mandy again. Our review is 5 stars only because there isn’t 6. 😊”
“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.”
“Carola was super accommodating and flexible when we contacted her on short notice to see if she could watch our high energy pup while we went for a hike in the provincial park (no dogs allowed). Drop-off went well and she allowed us to supervise while we introduced our dog to hers. She went above and beyond in caring for him and he was super happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend her.”
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.

I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
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.
“Lori did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Claire, during daycare! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Claire can be a little particular at times, but Lori made her feel completely comfortable and at ease right away. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked Claire up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing she was safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend Lori to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

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: I’ve helped take care of every animal you can think of! Having a big family gave me plenty of opportunities to learn and grow with different animals I attend college two days a week and work the night shift at my job! My day starts pretty early so I have a little too much free time and would love to spend it caring for animals! As long as the animal is provided with every basic essential it needs I will go above and beyond to tend to every need your pet has
About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

About: Not only do I get along well with animals, I also understand the importance of being a great pet sitter. For me it’s about going above or beyond whether it’s sitting with the pet to ease their nerves that their owner is gone or taking them on their favorite adventure (my dog Gus loves to swim in creeks)! In addition, taking care of the home while the pet owner is away is a essential to my beliefs around pet sitting such as bringing in the mail or washing out water bowls. I am currently a student at Appalachian State getting my master certification in GIS. When I am not in class, I am looking to take care of your furry friend! While I have pets of my own in my home that does not allow me to care for pets in my own home, I care for pets in my client’s home by adapting to their pet owners needs and making it a smooth and reliable process!

“Heather took the best care of our dog, Betty while we were on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and communicating very well the whole time, we trust our dog to have the best time with her on future vacations! :)”
“Chestnut is fabulous! This was our first time leaving our 3 year puggle behind on vacation, she was loved and well cared for and we had zero worries. Love that we have a found a great sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Jill was great with our dogs. The property is fenced in with lots of shade. She made them feel at home, which is very important to us. My dogs don't do well in kennels and this was perfect for them.”
“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!”

He loves playing in water and she has a kiddie pool that he basically stayed in while he was there lol. She was a very sweet and gentle person. I would definitely book again. I text while we were away to check on on him and she always got back to me promptly and even sent photos which made me feel so much better. We hope to be able to leave him there again soon.”
