“I am new to the Blue Ridge area and had been spoiled rotten by my regular dog sitter back in Arizona. But I have to say Judy has become my new sitter with whom my dogs get spoiled rotten. She is very attentive. Received daily updates and pictures regularly (2-3 times a day). Anytime she had a question just asked. Watered my plants, and even did the sheets and towels before we got home. The dogs were very happy with her both through activities outside and her attentiveness while staying in our home. One of our pups had a bit of a limp and she helped us try to care for her until we were home. Found out once home she now has arthritis. But Judy was there taking full care of our dogs. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”


“This was the first time we had left Pip, our 12 year cat with anyone. We were nervous about how he would do having someone in his house. Could not have gone better. Dixie was great! Always sending updates, pictures and videos. Very obvious Pip was comfortable with her and glad to be in his own home. Will definitely schedule with Dixie again.”


“I can not begin to speak highly enough of Reese. She is absolutely the best house and pet sitter there is. She took AMAZING care of our dog and 4 cats for 4 days. She took note of every single detail we gave her and had excellent communication. All 5 of our animals immediately took to her as soon as we introduced her, even the 2 more skittish ones. You (and your pets) can easily tell she's an animal person immediately. We were phenomenally impressed with her commitment, not skipping a beat despite having car trouble and continuing to provide uninterrupted care for our fur babies. I guarantee if you choose Reese to hire, you will not be disappointed. We found our purrrrfect pet sitter and wouldn't want anyone else. Ten out of five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”


About: I’m a born and raised city girl that wanted to be raised on a farm. Instead of cows and horses, I have 3 cats, and a 4 year old Golden Retriever, a teenage son and a husband of 25 years. I worked as an EMT and my husband is an RN. I now work as a home based travel agent. We have lots of love to give. Animals are my passion. Boarding your dog at my house is way better than a kennel. Dogs that stay with me get full use of the house and pool. Give me a call! You won’t regret it! *Dogs must be up to date on rabies vaccine and flea prevention. Meet and greet before stay is recommended. Additional surcharge applies for special needs dogs (puppies, elderly dogs that need extra attention or medication administration). *I do not accept any aggressive dogs or full grown dogs that are not house trained or who mark in the house. Owners are responsible for damages due to destructive dogs. I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to give. My husband and son also help with the pups. We work together as a team. We can also do drop ins and house sitting together (my husband and I). We love playing in the yard, swimming in the pool and pet cuddles on the couch! My Golden Retriever is also a friendly pup that will keep your fur baby company when I go out for errands.

About: I’ve grown up with several dog breeds, most recently German Shepherds, and have experience handling different temperaments. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I cared for a variety of breeds and personalities. I enjoy going on walks, bonding with dogs, and teaching them new tricks I'm currently working part-time so I can go back to school which allows for me to dedicate more time to caring for your pets and their needs. If the yard is fenced I'd be happy to run around with the dogs. If it is not fenced in or we are going for a walk, I would make sure your dog is on a leash (and to bring a bag for #2). I can crate your pet when needed. I can also administer any medications needed including insulin.


About: My name is Charity and I am a reliable and responsible dog sitter and walker. I absolutely love all animals, ESPECIALLY dogs and I tend to get along with them very well. I have been dog sitting for close friends for about a year now and am ready to open up for more people. I am currently working a part time job at and am looking for ways to make a little extra money on my free time and spend time with my favorite furry animals. I will follow any requests such as feeding, playtime, or potty requests. It is a top priority of mine to follow all directions from the dog owner while also giving the dog the love and attention they need.

About: Finding the right words is hard. Especially about myself. I love playing fetch as much as your pup lol somehow animals just understand my wavelength. I have a very flexible schedule to care for any type of pet. I am free to visit during the day even though I do work a full time job. My office is close to home. My home is very private and although I do not have a fenced yard, your pet will have love and attention and lots of nature to enjoy.

“Katrina did an excellent job babysitting my five-year-old Shih Tzu, Benny. I could tell that Benny really liked Katrina at the meet and greet. She communicated with me and sent pictures during my time away, and Benny seemed very happy upon my return. I am looking forward to using Katrina again in the future.”

“Sarah did a fantastic job of showing up consistently and communicating with us about how things were going. She sent regular photo updates which were insanely appreciated by my wife who hated being away from our 3 huskies. She went above and beyond to keep our house clean while we were gone as well and the dogs were so happy to have her and still get regular walks and one-on-on as well as group attention even while we were out of town. The price is right and the service is well worth it. Thank you Sarah, we will 100% be reaching out the next time we need a sitter.”



“After the very first time Terri spent a few hours with our 7 year old lab with severe hip dysplasia we knew she could care for him just as well as well do. It's very evident she LOVES dogs! After we returned from our first long weekend away, we knew our fur boy would always be in good/skilled hands.”


“Frank is the best and our Bella took to him instantly. He sent us updates with pictures of how she was doing while we were away. It's so nice to be able to leave our dog in her own home with excellent care. We found our home exactly as we left it. Thank you Frank!”

Course at TCCC and an online certification in Canine Communications. I am retired, but have the privilege of taking care of my 2 grandsons on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesdays, so most of my overnight availability is on weekends. However, I can do home visits and daycare throughout the week. I am able to keep small dogs in my home with prior approval by my "Dorkie" Oliver. I also have an outdoor kennel to keep larger dogs. However, I prefer coming to your home for overnight care or several visits during the day & evening.

I love a fenced in yard but if there isn’t one, i will always leash the animal to ensure they don’t run off! I want to make sure the animal is happy and having fun!
