“Danielle did a great job! My cat is diabetic and gets insulin 2X a day. This was the first time being away from him since he was diagnosed. Danielle came over and met Blue Jeans prior to my trip and was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures every day. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Danielle.”
“Madison did an outstanding job taking great care of our three pets - two cats and one dog. She immediately answered any and all questions we had during the booking, and made sure our pets were well-feed, well-cared for, and well-loved. Highly recommended!”
“Kayla is a great person and pet sitter! She did a wonderful job feeding my outside cat while I was gone for Christmas. Very punctual, accurate and focused on the task. She’s very kind and willing to help however needed! I will definitely call on her again when needed! Thank you Kayla!”
About: I have Boston terriers, cats, goats, an a donkey. I grew up on a small farm. I have rested animals from birth and up. I'm a mother of 6, with 11 grandkids and 2 great grandkids. I'm a 10 month employee for West Wilkes High school as a bus driver and custodian. I'm free most of the summer since I'm only a 10 month Wilkes County School employee. When school is in I work from 6-8am and 11:30-5:30pm. I live on a 10 acre small farm that I grew up on. My dogs have a fenced in yard and a doggie door. They have their own bedroom for when we are away from home and sleep with me at night. They are feed twice a day and have a monthly barkbox subscription.
About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met
About: 50 years of experience, grew up on a dairy farm, currently have three horses, twenty three chickens and three dogs on a ranch style farm. I am semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as well as my own, I am pretty flexible all week as well as weekends. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, animals that live with us are considered family and family always comes first.
About: Two dogs, golden retriever & chihuahua, two totally different temperaments! I will treat yours like my own! Mine are my children & are veryyyy spoiled! Evenings beginning at 5:30pm & weekends any time during day or evening. Can be flexible during work week as well when needed. Happy to help!

“Destiny was amazing and very flexible and understanding with my schedule and needs. She provided amazing care to my girls and they were always so happy to see her. I highly recommend Destiny for your pet needs”
About: For my house sitting experience I’ve had to stay overnight at my uncles house and my cousins many times and watch their dogs while they are gone, I’ve been doing that for probably 5 years. I’ve also house sat for friends and other families and taken care of their dogs (and cats!) for quite awhile. For dog walking I’ve always had dogs, I’m good at walking them but I’d prefer (especially) for bigger dogs to be trained for walking so They are not just pulling against me the whole walk. For drop in, I’ve had to do them for years whether your dog is on a specific schedule like my dads or not I can play with them feed them and any other specific doggy request. Same for cats, I’ve always had cats as well and I’ve never met one who didn’t like me :) I’m not professionally trained as I have not taken any classes. but I know how to help both choking cats and dogs! Or know how to help if any other emergency might happen. I'm currently only working part time so I have plenty of extra time to come walk with or just check in on your puppies or kitties! I’m always very careful to listen to pets body language and the boundaries they set for people they aren’t fully familiar with (especially cats) I won’t force your beloved pet to do anything they don’t want to do and I will guarantee I’m giving 110% to your animal anytime I see them :)
“Kitty , was great! My 2 boys are abit shy and picky as to whom they share their affection with. But Kitty won them over, to my surprise. I will be contacting Kitty again in the near future for another drop by take care of Blue Boy and BlackJack. I would recommend to anyone in this area to contact Kitty for drop in care of their critters.”
“Caitlin was absolutely fantastic. She relieved our anxiety of leaving our babies and was just such a wonderful human being. Definitely recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your fur babies!”
“So grateful for Rick’s attentiveness. He is professional and kind, and the dogs absolutely love him. My judge of a good pet sitter is if I come home and the animals are not stressed out and everything is in order: That’s how it was when I returned home today. Everybody is happy, and I feel so much better about going out of town. Thanks, Rick!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs ever since I was kid. I’ve had young dogs, old dogs, and I’ve even taken care of horses, ducks, and chickens. I live on a farm and I’ve worked around animals all of my life. I’m currently searching for a part-time job so I’ll be able to take care of pets almost whenever it’s needed. Everything I do outside of work can be fit anywhere into my schedule, it’s very flexible. I’ve worked with animals for a long time so whatever needs to be done, I can do it. I am very safe and friendly with animals.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 20 years old, I am now 61. I am an avid animal lover. I am off in the summer. I work as a kindergarten teacher during the year. I am looking for part time work to supplement my income. I am available all day.When school starts my hours will be limited. I have had a background check with the public school system in NC as well. I love children and animals. I can give references upon request.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, having dogs my entire life. I have enjoyed the process of raising and caring for dogs. Family and friends have requested for assistance with caring for their pets while on business trips. My fiancé and I have a friendly, playful dog of our own now who could poise as a friend and social interaction during our care if so desired. I currently work a full-time healthcare job Monday-Thursday. I would be available for drop in visits and dog walking Friday during the morning/evening times, and occasionally on Saturdays and Sundays! :) I always make sure all boundaries and spaces are maintained. In our home, we have an unfinished downstairs that your doggo can run and play with my two crazy boys. I feel very comfortable putting your dog in a kennel, if needed.

Kayla is super reliable, professional, and an expert dog sitter. Our dogs loved their drop in visits for walks with Kayla. She made sure she had all the information necessary to make sure they were safe and cared for and she sent updates for each visit. I would recommend Kayla to anyone for excellent pet care and we look forward to booking with her again.
