“Amy was.very friendly and Bridget took to her immediately. We used her for a few days while in the Smokies vacationing. She was reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Amy to watch your dog.”
About: I have many years of experience with taking care of dogs, including my own, friends and roommates, and others. I love to take them for walks, play to get their energy out, and relax to give them quality time. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can provide care at almost any time of day, including evening and over night visits. I have a reliable car that I use for transportation. I am comfortable taking care of pets in a client’s home, from walks, day visits, to overnight stays and more. I have experience working with family to provide care for multiple pets and have cared for multiple on my own.
“Carolyn is amazing. Belle is not a people person but she warmed up to Carolyn right away. Carolyn is a god-send. She was able to come assist my pups when my work schedule changed on a moment’s notice. I highly recommend her!”
About: (Previously known as AJ) I am a lifelong animal lover with experience in dog, cat and some limited horse care. With a natural affinity for animals, I enjoy working with many different critter personalities and always honor and meet any animal where they are at. I have experience with senior pets and I am comfortable administering medications with instructions. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your fur kids- I use a great attention to detail to do my very best to enrich any animal’s life with all of the information on hand, rather than taking a cookie cutter approach. If I need clarification, I am not afraid to ask. My number one priority is always your pet’s health and safety. It would be an absolute privilege to help care for your beloved family members! Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you for your time! My schedule is fairly flexible as I work part-time at night. Please reach out with your needs and we can try to work something out! I am comfortable offering services in your home, I am not able to offer services in my home at this time due to having three doggos in my house! In your home I would start with questions helping me get familiar with your pet’s routine, their normal vs abnormal behaviors, and any logistical tasks needed in my role to ensure their heath and happiness as well as yours.
“You guys were awesome! Thank you!!”
“Rachael is fantastic, I could immediately tell that she genuinely enjoys spending time with my dog. I can also tell how much he enjoys the time with Rachael as well.”
“Olivia’s walked my two girls a few times and has always been great. This review is specifically to express my gratitude that she was able to fit in a walk at the last minute when my schedule suddenly changed. It was a huge relief!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life. I trained my dogs back at home. I’ve worked with very large breeds and small breeds.

“Renee was excellent with our dog, he loved taking walks with her. Renee communicated with us well and we were completely comfortable leaving our dog with her. Would use again!”
About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!
“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”
About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)
About: I love working with animals! I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors and friends since I was a kid. I have a lot of experience taking care of both dogs and cats! My schedule is very flexible! I am taking classes at Western Carolina University, but anytime I am not in class or doing work, I would love to meet your pets! I care greatly about the well-being and happiness of all pets! I will do my very best to keep your pet(s) safe, entertained, and happy while you are away! I am currently enrolled at Western Carolina University. Mondays and Wednesdays I am on campus from 9am-5pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am on campus from 9am-2pm. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am available! I will always do my very best to make sure that the pets are safe and happy! I am not currently able to pet sit in my own home, but I am more than willing to do anything I need to ensure your pet gets the best care they need in your home!
“My picky Daisy loved Jolie. Jolie is wonderful. I will book her again”
About: I have had pets since I was in kindergarten. I have grown up with two dogs and two cats in my home for my entire life. As a child, my parents always held me responsible for giving the animals food, water, and cleaning up after them. I have always shown responsibility and love towards animals. I am enthusiastic and active, I love to be outside, and getting to interact with animals while doing so, is a plus! I missed my pets while I was away at school, so I would volunteer to take dogs from the animal shelter for happy hour in my free time. I now have a sweet baby of my own that I adopted from a local shelter ❤️ I am currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible and I can work around a lot of needs with adequate lead time. I love to provide the dogs what they need. If they want to go outside for a run or walk, we can hit the trails! If they want to snuggle on the couch, we will cozy up with a blanket.
