Pet Sitting Waynesville

About: Having grown up with dogs always around, I am very comfortable caring for and loving on pets. We've had several medium sized dogs, including a golden/collie mix named Caesar and an Australian cattle dog named Roo. Since I work remotely on a flexible schedule, I’m available to walk and visit your fur baby virtually any time on weekdays. I am out of town most weekends. I am always up for couch cuddles and depending on the owner and dog’s comfort level, can socialize as much or little with friends and other dogs outside of our home.

“When my dog didn’t eat how she normally does, Sheila spent extra time with her and messaged me right away. She truly cares about my fur baby ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, privately dog & cat sat for years, and have worked professionally in a dog kennel, giving me hands-on experience with all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart: Specialized Care: Experienced in gentle senior pet care, keeping anxious pets at ease, and sticking strictly to detailed daily routines. Kennel-Tested Expertise: Skilled in reading body language, managing play styles, maintaining strict feeding schedule, and administering medications safely. I work a hybrid schedule (teleworking with occasional office days) and have Fridays through Sundays completely off. Because of this setup, I am available to house-sit and keep your pets company, ensuring they get dependable care and routine consistency whether I'm working from home or stepping out briefly. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your companions with the utmost respect. I strive to mirror their exact normal routine so they experience minimal disruption while you're away. Backed by my experience working in a dog kennel, I am trained to spot subtle behavioral cues, maintain secure environments, and handle household rules carefully, ensuring your pets stay safe and relaxed.

About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!

About: Hi, I’m Jade! Most of my days are spent at a pet resort, so I’ve learned that every dog is different, and that’s my favorite part. I genuinely enjoy earning their trust and making them feel comfortable. If you leave your pet with me, they’ll be cared for with the same attention and love I’d want for my own 🩷 I currently work at a dog resort, so caring for dogs is something I do every day and truly love. Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time with pets just as much. I’m available before or after work, depending on the day, as well as most weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I work with dogs every day, so I understand how important it is to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, pay attention to their needs, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own dog.

“Taylor is amazing! She takes such great care of our pup Ness. She is very reliable and reaches out if she needs anything. I highly recommend Taylor for your pets!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every animal. With 6 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m very attentive to the little things and want every pet to feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do at home. I love all animals although dogs are my favorite and I have a very cute Bernese named Bear at home! I work part-time and take online classes, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule. I’m able to plan my day around pet care and provide consistency and companionship. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs! I make sure to follow their usual routines and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I respect your home, keep everything clean and tidy, and make sure your pets are well cared for. I also provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a kid! My family has two wonderful dogs who we got as puppies. I spent a lot of time learning how to care for and train puppies and now even in college I consistently drive home to dog sit for my parents while they are out of town. I also have experience watching a large number of dogs, caring for deaf dogs, feeding, administering medications, walking, and more. I understand the need for someone with attention to detail and a big heart as leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else is never easy. I am always more than willing to help out and learn how to best care of your animals! I currently have a part time job at a coffee shop which leaves me plenty of time for pet care! I should have a consistent schedule which will make it easy to schedule in times/longer stays. I take great care to make sure your pets remain safe and happy when I am sitting for any family. I make sure I know what the pets can do while I am around and also what their limitations are. I have a great eye for detail and will make sure your pets are fed/given medicine on time, let out/walked when needed, and make sure they receive the love and attention they need. I tend to keep notes on me just to make sure I am not missing any little notes about what your pets prefer.

About: I've shared my life with animals for more than 30 years, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hermit crabs, and more. Every animal has its own unique personality, and getting to know what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved is one of my greatest joys. My heart has a special place for senior pets. My beloved Shih Tzu, Paisley, was my soulmate and constant companion for 15 wonderful years. Caring for her through every stage of life taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to the little things—whether that's noticing a change in behavior, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply knowing when a pet needs extra comfort and reassurance. Today, my home is filled with the joyful chaos of two rambunctious hounds, Hunter & Brownie, and one mischievous black kitty, Batman (Mr. Meeps), who keep me laughing every single day. They remind me that every pet is wonderfully unique, with their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I'm committed to providing the individualized care, patience, and affection they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is about so much more than feeding and walking them. They are family. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe, I'll meet them where they are. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a happy pet—and for your pet to look forward to seeing me again. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility means I can accommodate your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I'll follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home is respected by bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and leaving everything just as I found it. I know every pet is unique. Some love to play, some prefer long walks, and others simply want a calm companion nearby. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality and tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

About: I love watching dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages! I have experience taking care of my own dog, as well as frequently boarding family and friends dogs at my house when they are out of town or for stop in visits. I currently work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, and live close enough to come home during lunch to let the dogs out for a bit during the three middle weekdays. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, playful pup to keep your dog company while you are out of town. For boarding clients, I will only take dogs that are comfortable around other dogs (for your pups safety and my own!). For in-home care, I strive to do the best I can making your dog comfortable with me during our time together. I will maximize time during visits for play/walk/leisurely time outside depending on owners preference.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“Dara is the best! So thorough with every visit. We do not have to worry about our pup because we know she is in good hands! High recommend her!”
