About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.

About: Since I can remember, my family always had pets and we loved rescuing and caring for animals. The most pets I’ve had at once was 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 turtles in my household and I loved it. Now my partner and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and we love our furry babies 💛 My husband and I are always available full time for your pet sitter needs for boarding or just watching your fur babies for a few hours. We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun! I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.

About: Senior care and med management are two things that I am very good at! I have 6 animals of my own that I adore very much! Every day I take care of my animals (cats, and dogs) I am available whenever and wherever I am needed! Always willing to help! In home services, walking, always safety first. Always treating animals as if they were my own pet! Very good at diagnosing the animal, whether high energy, or not!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I currently help raise 4 dogs. I’m very reliable on feeding, bathing and potty breaks. I’m available all through the week and weekends so just talk to me about the days I can work with you with my care and assistants. I’ll have all the time in the world to play with your fur babies. And Will give them all the love and attention. I provide attentive, compassionate and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. In the clients home i will make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care they require. I also keep their environment clean, monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or stress, and communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

About: I have ten years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentle approach. I'm confident in dealing with a variety of both in house and on leash behaviors to keep the boarding experience as safe as it is fun. I focus on keeping dogs both mentally and physically engaged, helping prevent boredom and anxiety in new environments. Maintaining your pets daily routine is a high priority to keep them comfortable and safe. There is also an on site dog expert and who excels in easily picking up every detail to keep your pet happy and healthy. I keep a clean and organized environment to keep your pup out of anything they shouldn't be in. I also prioritize staying on top of messes to ensure your pets safety. I am home most of the day and can provide consistent, adequate supervision and care. I am only out of the house briefly from 7 AM to 11 AM; otherwise I am available to give your pets the love and care they deserve. My schedule allows me to maintain your pets routine and ensure they are not left alone for too long. I provide a safe, clean, and structured enviroment for every pet entrusted to my care. In my home, I keep spaces tidy, pet-proofed, and monitered to ensure your dogs safety. I am attentive to each pets needs, routines, and boundaries. I take great care to minimize stress and make sure your pup has an amazing time. When caring for pets in a cilents home, I respect your space and am sure to follow instructions closely. I prioritize safety at all times including proper leash handling, secure doors/gates, and constant awareness during walks and visits.

“This is the first time I have used DogVacay. I've had my puppy, Zaire, for less then a week when I had to trust in Leslie to stop by and check on him. Leslie came through for my puppy and I in the final hour. I found her the day before I needed her help. We did not have the opportunity to meet in person but we spoke on the phone which helped a LOT. Upon her arrival to my place she made sure to let me know she was there, sent me a picture of Zaire, and even cracked a window for Zaire (at my request). I will definitely use her again. Thanks Leslie.”

Robin J.

“I really appreciate Rilea W’s help walking our Poppy while we were away for the day! She came to walk her 3 times. Each time she sent pictures and communicated with me. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

Sally S.

“Alex is so helpful with walking my dog Zola while I work 12 hr shifts. She is very communicative about everything that happens during the walk and sends lots of great pictures! She spends the whole time with my dog, and Zola is always fulfilled when I come home!”

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

About: I have been a dedicated animal lover for as long as I can remember, beginning my journey at age twelve with a neighborhood dog-walking business. Having owned both dogs and cats for most of my life, I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I recognize that every dog is unique; for instance, my own Boxer’s love for "tug" has certainly kept me on my toes and built my strength! While I am confident in my ability to bond with almost any animal, I prioritize transparency above all else. If I ever feel I am not the perfect match for your pet’s specific needs, I will communicate that immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of your dog. Professional Availability & Approach: I have recently moved back to the Hickory area and am open to taking on new clients. I prefer to discuss your specific needs and expectations upfront to ensure we are a mutual fit for a successful partnership. My philosophy is that a walk should be much more than a bathroom break—it is a vital source of fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. Whether your dog loves playing with a favorite toy or requires consistency with basic command training, I am happy to integrate those needs into our time together. I look forward to meeting your pet and building a meaningful bond. I have open availability right now! I am ready to take any dog or cat and meet with new clients we my availability has opened . My approach to drop-in visits is centered on environmental continuity and specialized feline safety. Because I only provide care within the client’s home, I ensure your cat’s or dogs routine remains undisturbed while prioritizing the security of your property.
