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: 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! I am caring and loving & would give attention to your dog when you are unavailable to. I am a trustworthy person and would respect you as well as your home when visiting your dog. Please contact me with any further questions or concerns ! I hope to hear from you soon! I work at the hospital. Unfortunately, this makes it so that I personally can’t own a pet. 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)

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.

“As always Regan and Chris went above and beyond - from dealing with my poor neighbors when the dogs were barking overnight, to disassembling a fence in the house that was not working, to cutting the hedge next to my garage when the door wouldn't close, to bringing my trash cans in when I forgot to ask...they are just incredible and those are all the things above and beyond how much my dogs LOVE them. I am so grateful to have found them!”

“I can’t recommend Jessy enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dog Nelson. He can be a bit stubborn (okay, very stubborn), but our first meeting, Jessy handled him with such patience and calmness. It was honestly impressive to watch. She took the time to understand his quirks and never rushed him something that really stood out to me. It’s like she speaks his language. I’ve never seen him warm up to someone so quickly. I feel 100% better if I have to leave him again.”
