About: I love animals! I was raised around animals all of my life. My parents had a hobby farm, complete with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, emu's, sheep, ducks, pigs, etc. We bred and raised dogs of all kinds: huskies, dalmatians, chihuahuas, beagles, labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and so on. Since my childhood, I've helped feed, care for, and even administer medicine to our animals. I moved to Lexington KY in the Fall of 2010 and decided to take care of others' furry friends while they're away. I started and ran my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 7 years. I ended up closing down to do some traveling. But I sure miss getting out and spending time with my furry friends. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just out for the day, it will be my Joy to take care of your pets. From midday walks and home visits, to puppy breaks and house sittings, I'll treat your pet as my own, and make sure they get plenty of lovin'. “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s what I try to live by. And I’ll bring that ethos with me everyday to Caring for your seeet fur baby or babies.

About: I have always been a HUGE dog lover. I was raised with dogs and there has never been a time where my family has not had a dog. In 2020 I started my own pet sitting business back home and accumulated over 60 clients. My business offers walks, drop-ins, training, overnight care, baths, and more! I have taken care of puppies, teens, middle-aged, and senior dogs. I have taken care of dogs with special needs and medical issues like diabetes. I started riding horses when I was 7 years old so there is no dog too big or too small! I take care of each and every dog like they are my own and I absolutely love my job. I cannot wait to meet your pup(s)! I am currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule. Class Tuesdays and Thursday 8am-10:45am. No class Monday, Wednesdays, or Fridays. I go to the gym once a day but that time is fit in work and school schedule! I offer pet care in the client's home. At the moment my roommate and I have 2 dogs one just being a few months old so I don't offer pet care in my apartment until he is older.

About: I have animal shelter experience and as a result, have worked with several different types of animals with different personalities and am very flexible and capable of working with very different acting animals. I have a very open and free schedule so I'm able to come and check on the pets as often as needed. I can spend long periods of time with the pets when needed. In the clients home, I will care for them according to the clients standards and by following instructions down to the letter in order to prevent issues.

About: I have a dog myself (4 years old) and I understand how hard it is to find someone to take care of your dogs while you’re away. I would absolutely love if you trust me to watch your babies and I will send you lots of pictures and updates if you’re comfortable with that. I’m a graduate student at Appalachian State and live super close to campus so I’m at my apartment most of the day when I’m not in class. I am quite flexible, I do live in an apartment so a lot of what I’ll do with be out and about or playing with my dog if they’re good together. I am available to watch them often and I’m the only one on the home so you don’t have to worry about them running away for any reason.

I highly recommend Emerson. She walked my one-year-old Golden Retriever Jackson 3x a day for a week. When she came for her initial visit, I could immediately tell she was an animal lover and would treat Jackson as if he were her own dog. I also instantly saw how comfortable and confident she was walking a larger, energetic puppy – she had complete control. Throughout the week, she was incredibly prompt, professional and reliable. She gave regular, detailed and fun updates throughout the week. I could not recommend her more highly.

About: With 4 years of hands-on experience at a busy doggy daycare (Pooch Pad), I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I managed feeding, medication, potty breaks, and playgroups for 50+ pups daily. Whether your dog is energetic or shy, a puppy or a senior, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is a top priority in my weekly routine, and I’m committed to making time for your furry family member. I typically work at Earth Fare from 2–8 PM on weekdays, but I’m flexible and happy to work around my schedule to ensure your pet receives the care, attention, and love they deserve. I love staying active and enjoy daily walks at Greenway Park, making it the perfect outing for energetic pups. I also cherish cuddle time—your furry friend will get plenty of love, attention, and affection. Animals truly feel like mini best friends to me, and I treat them with the care and companionship they deserve.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life and have helped care for them in all ways including bathing, walks, medication distribution, nail trimming, and feeding. I have pet sat for loved ones, staying overnight. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as large, medium, and small dogs! I will love your furry friend as if they’re my own! Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I have my own cat I take care of. I feed her every morning, play with her, give her flea medicine monthly, and scoop her litter daily. I also live with my childhood dog who is now a senior pup. I give her medicine, treats, keep track of her protein intake, walk her and make sure her water and food bowl is full. I care for pets in a loving way, being gentle with them and respecting all boundaries and reading their body language. I will ensure each and every pet has all their needs met and will give them lots of pets in between! I will respect the clients space and keep them updated on their pet throughout the time of service!

I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.

Upon being hired I completed canine coach training which is extensive online courses developed by Dogtopia’a canine behaviorist to ensure coaches understand dog language and behavior management in a playroom environment. I also grew up with two large dogs and a Shih Tzu in my families home so I am comfortable with large dog and small dog breeds. Someday I would love to have my own pet care business and save dogs that are soon to be euthanized in various shelters. Thank you for your time and I hope to be your Rover soon! This link: https://www.rover.com/sit/larist40758 I will give new clients 20$ off their first booking with rover! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment, I am available M-F. However, I may be free for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays! :) Safety and trust in my clients enviornment depends on their own specific needs and boundaries! I will definitely listen and do what I need to do to keep your pet safe and make you feel comfortable :)

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I have been pet sitting for the same family for the last 5 years since their jobs and family require them to leave often, but they want to make sure their animals never feel neglected by this. I have administered medication for older cats and dogs, fed and rode horses, learned how to intervene safely in the event of a dog altercation, and love just being around pets of all types and sizes. Hello! I am currently a farmer turned student, recently back in college after a few years as an organic vegetable farmer. Now I’m balancing the demands of finishing my degree in evolutionary biology with my love of animals, plants, yoga, and simply being in awe of nature. Petsitting allows me a flexible job while I’m in school and gives me a chance to connect with the community in another way. I love the chance to meet everyone’s furry companions & learn more about people outside of my daily rhythms. I am an avid cyclist and hiker, so am happy to take along any pet that's down to adventure at the nearby trails. I’ve watched houses with up to 7 dogs at a time, so I’m very comfortable with multiple animals and giving each one the attention they need.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats from a very young age. My family has always had pets which taught me how to properly care for them. I now have two bunnies myself that are my whole world. I have also had past experience with pet sitting. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, and bunnies and I’m willing to learn how to care for any other pets you might have. I truly love all animals and I will love your pets just like I love my own! I am not currently working so I will have all the time in the world to spend with your furry friends! I can be there whenever you need and I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule. In your home, I will care for your pet just as you do everyday! Depending on the service you request, I can simply come by and spend some time with them a few times a day or I can be with them around the clock in your home. Your pets will be my top priority and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety, health, and happiness while you are 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 full time potter who just opened an art gallery in downtown Blowing Rock. I run the gallery Wednesday-Sat 11-5 and Sunday 1-5. Beyond those hours, I can make myself available to spend time with your pet(s) either at my home or yours, as frequently as is needed. If your pet needs a potty break midway through my shift, I may be able to accommodate by having a friend cover my gallery mid day to run to let them out. Otherwise, I’ll just be sure they get a good thorough walk before and after my shift. 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.

About: I love taking care or dogs and cats of every kind. Ever since I was 12 I’ve taken care/loved on my neighbors pets while they were out of town or even my own. I really enjoy getting to meet new animals and care for them as my own. I’m currently working for myself remotely. I set my own schedule, this allows me to be available for most times throughout the week to love on your pet. I love to take my dogs for walks/runs. So, if that’s what your dogs prefer (or cats, can’t exclude them!) I’m happy to take them on daily walks/runs. As far as nighttime routine, I prefer doing what’s best for your pet. Every pet is different so I can crate, leave in designated space or allow the pets to free roam at night based on the preference/instruction of you the pet owners / pet parents

Joy is one of the kindest, sweetest people I’ve ever met. Before I knew her it was extremely difficult to go away and leave my pets. At the time I met Joy I had four dogs and four cats. I also had family living far away and was terrified to leave my “babies”. That all changed after Joy and her wonderful team of petsitters came into our lives. They followed every direction, remembered every detail, spent adequate time playing and visiting, and sent the most comforting and thorough email at the end of every visit. The email also included photos of each pet (even my kitty who normally was a hider) and sometimes a video. My dogs have all since passed away and some of Joy’s little videos are still my favorites to watch. After you meet Joy you will never worry about leaving your pets again. They will absolutely be safe and sound in her care and you will be completely free to enjoy your time away knowing they are being loved and cared for.

Landon watched my older lab while I was out of town for the day. My mind was at ease having my sweet boy in his care! Highly recommend using Landon!

Bella is a wonderful caregiver for pets. She has watched over our menagerie (dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats and a stray turtle or two) for several years. She is energetic, trustworthy, timely, conscientious, thorough and loving. Our animals love when she visits. She has always taken great care of them and kept us posted on how they are doing. If you need a pet sitter, you can go wrong with Bella.

Karli took amazing care of my 4 dogs while I was on a 2 week trip. I came back to the house being cleaner than when I left and she sent me plenty of updates to ensure they were well taken care of. She did a great job and I will definitely book again for my upcoming trips.

Katy is an excellent pet-sitter. She watched my kitten, Fern, for 2 weeks. I got daily updates and pictures of Fern. Katy house sat, as well, and kept all of my plants watered. When I arrived home the house was clean, and Fern and my plants were happy and healthy! Katy is a lover of animals and plants with an acute care for her surroundings; I would highly recommend her as a pet-sitter.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Over the years we have had small dogs to large dogs. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes. Also enjoy playing with cats! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to hang out with your four legged friend! I am available for drop in visits, walks, hikes and house stays while you are away. I will treat your pet just like my own! I will take and send pictures and videos through out the stay. I will follow your instructions to a T. For evening drop in visits I will have my kids with me if that is not OK please let me know.
