“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!!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! I can’t recommend them enough. I received ample updates and they so kindly went with the flow when I experienced flight delays. Rufus had the best time ever!”
“Shirley & Jeff took great care of Cindy. It was the first time she had been left with a non-family member since being adopted and they did a great job. The status updates and pictures were nice also. I would definitely use them again when the need arises!”
“Lorna is always super flexible and accommodating. I often ask if I can pick him up early and she always let me :-). She is the BEST and I will continue to use her in the future.”
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.
“Joseph and Andrea are wonderful! They took great care of my sweet pug. I received plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease. Thank you Joseph and Andrea, we will see you soon. 😊”
“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.”
“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.”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”
“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!”
“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. :)”
“Richard and his family were so nice to meet! I could definitely tell Tivoli felt comfortable with him and company, I’m glad that he had such a great time out on some fun activities too!”
“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.”
“Jenn was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog loved her right away and she sent picture updates along the way. 10/10 would have her watch my dog again :)”
“My dog had a great time with Sarah and her family. He was well-cared for, got along with their dog, and got lots of exercise and attention. It was a great experience and I appreciated the pictures she sent!”
“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.”
“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 amazing to my senior pup while I went away for a long weekend trip. She was very responsive and made sure I was up to date on how Ribbit was while I was gone. I was very happy to have run into her profile and Ribbit had a blast. Would absolutely book with Kayla again! Thank you Kayla!”

“Katlyn did a great job taking care of our 3 cats while we were gone. They got love and attention, and even our stand-offish adopted stray came up to her for pets and pictures. Katlyn was thorough and professional, will definitely contact her in the future to look after our fur-babies.”

About: I have taken care of cats for both family friends and other friends for 3 years. I will play with them, sit with them, or do whatever they want to enjoy their time with me even if that means they only want me there to feed them!
“Highly recommend Kayla! She was super responsive and sent me many pictures during her time with my 2 cats. I will definitely be using her again in the future. Super sweet and personable!”
“I can't imagine a better pet/house sitter. The cats are often either especially needy or even standoffish when I come back from a trip but this time they treated me like I'd just gone for a walk, fell back into their usual routine, which is exactly what you want. Summer left the house better than when I handed it to her, had extra sheets washed etc etc. Over and above.”
About: I have taken care of cats in a vet clinic setting. But I also have one cat of my own. I don’t mind old and spicy or young and crazy as I’ve seen all the above. But with enough treats and playing I’m sure to make it easier on both of us.
About: I grew up on a farm so I have a lot of experience helping and sitting various different animals but especially dogs! I’m very good with high energy dogs or pups with anxiety! I am currently working from home so I’m very flexible when it comes to my schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! I love to play with all animals. I, of course, would follow whatever schedule you have set for your baby & provide all the cuddles and play time they need.
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!

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 have had pets since I was a young kid and have always loved taking care and providing them with all the love they deserve. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, furry and not furry, and look forward to providing your pet quality care like I would give my own. I am comfortable giving oral medications, going on walks, scooping litter boxes, feeding and watering, brushing, and nail clipping. I am punctual and very trust worthy. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon! 💕 I work Monday through Friday from 8:30-5 where I also take an hour break from 1-2. So, I am available for short walks/check-ins before work and after and on my lunch break if needed on those days. Friday Saturday and Sunday I am available for boarding at your residence or my own or any of the other things listed above at any time of the day. If you give me specific instructions on how to care for your pet I will do exactly that. I typically just play with my pets with toys and give them treats and brush and groom them when they’re in need. I have 2 cats indoors and 2 dogs mostly outdoors that are very friendly with small/medium dogs and cats. I can crate your dog and keep your cat separate from mine if that is preferred. I will be happy to do for your pet anything I would do for my own.
About: I have owned cats/had cats in my house hold for as long as I can remember. I currently have 1 cat. She loves to cuddle and get her belly rubbed. She loves to play with any toys! I have given cats all different kinds of medications. I also do mobile mail trimming. So I have trimmed a lot of kitties nails.
About: Servicing Jonesborough, Johnson city, Erwin, and surrounding areas! Very flexible for the holidays :). I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats in all types of situations. I have 2 years experience as a periodical live-in dogsitter. I've had and cared for animals for 9 years. I grew up in the country and sometimes animals would show up at my family's door. We have raised 4 stray cats, a litter of kittens, and a litter of puppies. I will do almost any pet-related task, it is hard to gross me out. I plan on caring for pets over the holiday period, and am not looking for any full-time positions. I will be here from mid December-mid january, but can pet sit 24 hours a day 7 days a week during that time. I am a fairly laid-back pet owner and deeply care for my animals. Your pet will get lots of love and attention. I am willing to help potty train/discipline to the owner's discretion, but I always prefer positive reinforcement. I can administer pet medications and be very watchful and present.
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!
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'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.

“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!”
“Love! Stephanie was super sweet and understanding. She was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and able to wear out our two noisy hounds. Provided several photos of the dogs living their best lives. Would definitely use again, if she’ll have us!”
About: Experienced dog lover providing safe, personalized care full of play, love, and peace of mind. I treat your pup like family—because that’s exactly what they are. Happy dogs, Relieved parents. Trusted care. I work from home, so your pup gets all-day play, belly rubs, and love. From morning zoomies to afternoon naps, they’re part of my routine—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My home is your dog’s play-and-snuggle paradise! Either toys, walks, and comfy spots to nap, I make sure every stay is fun, safe, and full of love—so they can’t wait to come back.
“Samuel and Erica were amazing! So nice and accommodating on our last minute request. Our dog had a blast at their house and came home happy and tired from all the playtime with their dog! Who could ask for more. Highly recommend”
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!
“Baloo had a great time! It was a one-time visit, but Lorna was totally prepared for tiny Baloo by creating a safe environment for him. Lorna walked Baloo before I picked him up. I would absolutely recommend Lorna!”
“What good fortune to find Miranda’s doggie daycare service, especially considering the convenient location and tidy fenced yard. Miranda is a highly competent and kind-hearted pet caregiver who was able to accommodate a last-minute request for a senior pup recovering from eye surgery. She followed our care regime to a T and also used excellent judgement when faced with unplanned situations. Her communication skills are excellent. We could not asked for better care for our sweet senior, and hope to visit her again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Never have had less than 3 dogs at once. Prior to relocating to North Carolina, I worked full-time for an established South Tampa pet-sitting/ vacation care company. I am available on a part-time and vacation basis. I work full-time from home so I am able to give your pup all the attention needed while they are in my home. I try to keep your pup's routine as close to normal as I possibly can. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and I want you as a pet parent, to feel that same way. Your pup will be well taken care of and be treated as if they were one of my own family members. Available for Biltmore pet care as well! If you are in from out of town and want to tour the Biltmore house, I’ll come pick up your dog prior to estate entry at the ticket or gatehouse, take them for a walk off property while you enjoy the house tour and drop them back off to you when you are finished. 2($60) or 4($110)-hour care visit available on the weekends only. If an extended time period is needed, we can discuss on an individual basis to see if my schedule permits. Oral/ Injections Medications I'm familiar with oral medications. Additionally, I had a diabetic dog and had to administer insulin shots 2x daily. While that was some time ago, I am confident with a refresher conversation (should your pup require shots) I can handle it. Special needs/Senior pups I have experience in caring for older/ senior/special needs pups. Unfortunately, my handsome man passed away last year but he didn't have the use of his back legs and required assistance in going outside. I'm comfortable with handling chest harnesses, wheelchairs etc if necessary. In addition, I have cared for many senior pups and I understand the health issues that come with age and they may not be as mobile as they once were. Please let me know if any such issues exist. I work full-time from home during the week and can offer care on the weekends when I am not on shift at the fire department. I have a farm property with the larger property fenced in but the smaller yard is not fenced in. I do have one dog and she is not friendly with other dogs. However, she is excellent with baby gates (my fiance has a dog and this is how we manage our house. There is never aggression through the gate) and I will always take an extra precaution in separating her from your dog via another room entirely or a baby gate!
About: I have cared for pets of all ages over the years and adopted a pup of my own about two years ago. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and loves other dogs. I have experience with giving medications to animals, caring for both puppies and older pups, and my apartment is hardwood floors so accidents aren’t a problem! I am a graduate assistant and in grad school. This means that I word pretty weird hours and I do a lot of work remotely. I’m home anywhere between 8 hours to 24 hours a day and can rearrange my schedule depending on the needs of the animal. There is a dog park nearby and it’s a safe area. For my pup, and pups I’ve boarded/cared for before, I traditionally feed them in the AM and give them plenty of water. We go to the dog park to start the day and get the energy out. I make sure to leave dog-safe toys on the floor so they know they have stuff to play with and I dog proof the apartment before I leave each time so they don’t get into things they shouldn’t. We go out later in the day to the dog park again to socialize or get the zoomies going. We go back and have a little more food or a snack and then hang out before going out on a walk to end the day. I'm working full-time in ministry so I have lots of time throughout the day to care for your loved one and will be gone no more than a few hours per evening for bible studies and groups. I take my dog, Tonka, out 5-6 times per day minimum and we love to go on walks and be outdoors. I have a large field directly behind my apartment and live in a very pet-friendly area tucked off the main road so your pup will enjoy lots of safe and supervised outside time! I allow animals on the furniture and keep all choking hazards up high. My dog has a knack for finding even the smallest things to mess with so I have good practice with keeping a safe home.
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.
“Absolutely wonderful! Besides being available the week of Christmas, Jennifer was an excellent pick to watch Pepper for a few hours for us. I know she was well cared for. We traveled from Texas to Gatlinburg and Jennifer made it so convenient to drop off and pick up our puppy. We will choose Jennifer again when we come back. Thank you Jennifer for being there for us. ☆☆☆☆☆”
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 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.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.
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.
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: I grew up on a farm so I have a lot of experience helping and sitting various different animals but especially dogs! I’m very good with high energy dogs or pups with anxiety!

I, of course, would follow whatever schedule you have set for your baby & provide all the cuddles and play time they need.
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: 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: I am a lifetime dog owner, I currently have two dogs. Rusty is a Red heeler that came from a rescue, Gunner is a lab mix that was also a rescue.

My passion is help any animal in need. I have worked with all breeds with different health issues. I’m very patient with skittish, afraid or nervous pets. I have did some dog training on and off over the years. I have walked several dogs in my community. I have also house sat/pet sat while families have went on vacation. I love all animals as if they were my own. I donate every month to local shelters to help any fur baby in need. I would love to give your fur baby all the attention, play time in the world. My pets come first before anything. As my fur babies get fed once I wake up, and again a hour before bed. They get let out about 4-5 times a day. They have plenty of play time throughout the day. I have open availability to take care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard. I walk my dogs in the yard or at the park. When it’s play time there able to be off the leash and run around the back yard. I have some clients that have fenced in backyards and, some where the dogs need to be walked.
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 over 45 yrs of experience in pet care. I was a dog trainer (now partially retired), owned my own pet sitting business for many years, fostered/adopted many rescues and I currently volunteer at and support several rescues. Animals are my heart and soul and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and I will make myself available for your pet 24/7 whether it's late night potty trips outside or long walks during the day.

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 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.

“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!!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! I can’t recommend them enough. I received ample updates and they so kindly went with the flow when I experienced flight delays. Rufus had the best time ever!”
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.
“Joseph and Andrea are wonderful! They took great care of my sweet pug. I received plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease. Thank you Joseph and Andrea, we will see you soon. 😊”
“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! 🫶🫶🫶”
“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.”
“She made my separation from my baby a lot easier with plenty of videos and text. Chubbs seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend her. She is also a very nice and easy person to deal with.”
“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.”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”
“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!”
“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. :)”
About: I’m a local college student with a super flexible schedule and exited attitude to help out whenever I can! I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have experienced house sitting and also watching pets from my own home. I currently don’t have pets of my own making it a great environment to offer my home up to help others. I look forward to creating new relationships with clients and their fur babies! My schedule is currently fully open with it being summer time and I’m looking to fill this time with new bookings! I am able to give my full attention to the pet and can adapt to their needs! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood to walk in. I also do no have pets only own making it easier to watch your pet as well! I always want to put the pets needs first and make sure they are getting quality care!

She sent daily pics and videos of Jasper playing with other dogs or walking around the neighborhood.

I’m sure Jasper would be so excited to see her and her son again too :-)”
