Pet Sitting in Waynesville

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — including my own doodles. I offer reliable, loving pet care that includes daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or overnight care, you can count on me to treat them like family. I am currently a stay at home mom of one 6 year old girl. So my schedule is very flexible and I am available to care for pets at any point as long as I have ample time to plan for it. I have a fenced in yard with three very friendly doodles that love to play. I have crates available if needed. I can also meet at the clients house and spend time with the pet there and/or walk them.

“Carolyn is very obviously an animal lover! I had no problems or worries for my cat (and hamster) while I was away. She is kind and bighearted but also very diligent and went over and beyond to come and return my key safely once I was back. Highly recommend. :)”

“Ashleigh is the absolute best. My kitties love her! I trust her completely with their care while we’re away. She always gives thorough updates and pictures, really gives me peace of mind. She pays attention to details always responds quickly! Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Ashleigh for loving on our babies while we’re away!”

“Marianne is wonderful at caring for our pets. This is the first time we added our German Shepard into the visits and Marianne did a fabulous job making sure our animals felt loved. She as well took care of other tasks required at our house while we were away. Truly recommend her and will have Marianne return again soon.”

“Tina is amazing! We’ve had changing travel plans, and Tina has been there to help us out, and go way above and beyond to make sure all our pets are taken care of. Super reliable - we’re grateful to have someone like Tina we can trust to care for our pup when we’re away.”

“Karmyn was awesome! I had a very last second change in plans and she came in to save the day. She was quick to respond which was really appreciated and so good with my pup. I’d definitely book with her again!”

About: I work at Pounce Cat Cafe — I have always loved cats so much that they have become my passion in life. I also have 4 cats of my own, I got my first when I was 12! At Pounce, sometimes we have to administer medications to cats and/or do things to help them that they don’t quite understand, meaning I’m used to administering medications, handling them properly, etc. and getting scratched up a bit sometimes 😅. I’m also pretty good at gaining a cat’s trust. I spend SO much of my time with cats, so clearly I enjoy it a lot! Caring for animals is part of my everyday life! I have 5 cats at home and plenty of hands-on experience from my time working at Pounce Cat Café. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily fit drop-in visits or walks into my daily routine. I prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. At home, I make sure my cats stay healthy by keeping plenty of fresh water available at all times, along with dry food in the morning and wet food at night. Hydration is especially important for cats, so I always prioritize it. My cats also get lots of playtime and affection, they follow me around like shadows and love to cuddle. I understand how important both stimulation and comfort are for their well-being. In a client’s home, I’ll always follow your pet’s specific routines while making sure they have fresh water and whatever type of care keeps them feeling safe and happy. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior and can usually tell if they’re in the mood for play, snuggles, or just quiet company. My goal is to reduce stress and make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for.

“Denise was an awesome pet sitter, kind, considerate, flexible, responsible, and as a Veternarian Tech., Denise demonstrates knowledge of PET CARE for both Dogs and Cats ! And she had knowledge of other farm and domesticated animals! I'd highly recommend DENISE for all YOUR PET'S Needs!”

“Johanna and Samuel were fantastic with my dogs. Very dependable and good communicators. I would definitely have them watch my dogs again!”

Leanne W.

“I highly recommend Tricia! She did a bunch of drop-in visits for our puppy as we are crate training him and we had some long work days. We wanted him to get outside around 12:30/1pm to break up the day. Tricia was prompt, reliable, clearly had a lot of experience with puppies and was great with communication/updates/pics etc.”

About: I've been taking care of animals from fish to Llamas since I was a young child. Nothing makes me happier than being with animals. I've been taking care of my friends' pets for so long, I figured I'd make help other folks too. I make my own schedule currently, so if we are a good fit, it's no problem to make my schedule work around what you need. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests and or needs that you may have. I trust your judgment and know how important it is to respect the wishes of the pet owner. Just let me know what you need and I'll be happy to do it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Being the oldest of four children it was my responsibility to walk, feed and prioritize our dogs! And of course they kept me warm sleeping in my bed. I am patient and loving with all animals. Your dogs happiness and well being come first! Pet care is my only job. I will work with you to assure your needs and your pets needs are met. I am flexible with hours and days. I have an indoor cat that is a bit older. She requires vet visits to assure she’s healthy and moving forward daily. I clean her litter box several times a day and sometimes have to clean her backside.

“Sheridan did a wonderful job looking after my cat, Mars. He’s a shy fellow, but she made sure he had everything he needed whenever he decided to make an appearance. Will definitely rebook!”

“Olivia did such a nice job with my two dogs. They were smiling in the pictures that she sent. Everybody was quiet and contented when we got home.”

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

About: I have taken care of family/neighbor pets my whole upbringing, I also have a dog and cat of my own! I have an extremely energetic 2 year old husky and a rambunctious orange cat. Although it’s a lot of work, taking care of animals is very fun and rewarding to me. Currently, I am looking for part time employment. I have a very open schedule for the summer season. I’m taking a few online classes for college, but with that comes a lot of flexibility! I will treat your pet as it was my own, I have plenty of crates/accessories for your pets comfort needs. Having animals myself I know what it takes to fit all their needs.

“Carrie took wonderful care with my babies. I appreciated her communication.”

“Katharine did a great job dog sitting for us for the last two weeks while our regular sitter was on vacation. She communicated well, was reliable, and Parker loved the personal attention she gave her. We really appreciated her wonderful care for Parker, which was very comforting to know...would highly recommend her services! I think Parker would agree with all 4 paws:) Thanks Katharine!”

About: My name is Kate. Able to help in the Waynesville area! I would love to watch or come play with your animals! I have grown up having family dogs. So I know how to care for them properly. My family has owned three Labrador retrievers and a beagle mix! I am open to caring for any breed or size dog! I also have two pet cats so I am familiar with cats!

That is why I’d love to come visit yours! I Monday-Fridays, with Fridays being when I work mornings only. I am around on the weekends when I’m not on call or traveling! I am able to follow whatever instructions are needed for your pet! I am very respectful of your home. I will come to handle them and then leave in a timely manner! Whatever way is best for your pets to be left is what I will do. ( i.e crated or not)

“Our kitties, Bubble & Squeak, were so happy to have Kandi take care of them over the holidays that they hardly even noticed we were gone. Well, maybe they noticed a little bit... Thanks so much, Kandi, for treating our babies with love and kindness. We will be seeing you again soon!”
