Dog Sitters in Amantha, NC

Haven't used another sitter in years! Dogwood Critter Care is the best. Eli and Bruce are phenomenal care takers. And judging by the photos they send, my fur babies love them too! Tons of different pet sitting services offered and they send updates WITH photos. Seriously the best pet sitting business in the high country. They have truly stepped up when so many boarding facilities and individuals have failed us. ♥️🐾

Dogwood critter care walked the dog on time, and I think the dog likes Eli more than me. He can be persnickety and headstrong, but they handled him with professionalism and care. Also very reasonable rates for the time they spend with your pet, worth it to keep a stubborn dog from making a mess while you're at work. They're flexible and well staffed too, and can work around your schedule.

Knowing that your pets are being cared for while traveling is incredibly comforting. Eli and Bruce went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with them and then bring calming energy to our gaggle of cats. Their love for animals is obvious with each interaction that they have. Bruce actually pet one of our semi feral cat; his fist time being pet by anyone other than my husband and I. If you are a pet owner you will not go wrong entrusting Dogwood Critter Care with your animals.

Fantastic company with very sweet owners. Their compassion for animals was evident in our meet and greet. Not everyone is comfortable working with exotic animals (I have a small parrot). Dogwood Critter Care made me feel completely at ease leaving my bird at home while traveling abroad. I received daily updates, including pictures and video of Apollo enjoying his visit! Have already recommended them to friends in the community, and am looking forward to using them again in the future!

I have used Dogwood Critter Care several times to care for my two cats while traveling. They are the absolute BEST pet sitters and they have made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving my sweet beans in their care. They always send detailed updates with photos for every visit and actually spend time loving on my kitties so they are happy to see us when we get home! I couldn't recommend this company and their services more.

My wife and I turn to no one else other than Eli and Bruce at Dogwood Critter Care (DCC) for worry-free pet-sitting. Whether watching our labs (3) for a single day or a week or more, DCC is 100% reliable and trustworthy. They follow instructions, and their daily, detailed updates (including pixs) are greatly appreciated. Our four-legged kids believe Eli and Bruce are part of their human family, and that's the way it should be with house- and pet sitters. We highly recommend Dogwood Critter Care!

We couldn’t say enough good things about Eli! She took such wonderful care of our two babies while we were out of town. She respected our home and went above and beyond for us. She even went as far as to salt our sidewalks and even helped us turn off water when our pipes froze up. She was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about animals. She was even prepared for my big husky and his silly behaviors. We highly recommend Eli for your pet sitting needs. Boarding my boys was always very stressful and really hard on my husky. I had such peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands at home, stress free! We Will definitely be using her services again in the future!

The Pet Care by Eli team is amazing! We have used their services since January throughout the week while we are at work for our Golden pup, Walter. He is now almost 11 months. They are all so caring and loving toward Walter. They have listened to our needs and work with us to make sure Walter is well taken care of, and have always been flexible if our schedule changes last minute. I never worry about Walter throughout the day because I know he is in good hands. I receive updates after every visit with their comments and feedback, notifications of all the activities (potty, treats, feedings, etc), and pictures! Anyone that has ever known us even a little, understands we are very picky about the care for our pets. It is very apparent this team loves animals and understands how to care for them. Highly recommend!!!

Eli was absolutely incredible! She is so great with animals and treated our Boxer like her own. Not only did she continuously communicate with us and keep us updated, she rearranged her schedule last minute to accommodate our schedule changes. Thank you so much for everything: the new game ideas, beautiful pictures, professionalism, tips and new friendship to our girl. She also works off an app which is super easy and user friendly that makes everything so easy for planning purposes, invoices, and forms.

We trusted Pet Care by Eli right away! We had piece of mind with our 3 girls in their care and are so grateful for the thoroughness, care, experience and professionalism provided. One of our girls had surgery 2 weeks prior but we trusted she would continue healing in their care. We are so grateful!

Shivonne did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! Our first meet and greet was about an hour long, and she was very thorough gathering information about our dogs and how we need them to be cared for. When she stayed with them, she kept in contact regularly about how they were doing. She also sent regular pictures and videos. She did a wonderful job, and we will absolutely have her stay with our dogs again!

Shivonne did an extraordinary job in taking care of Chauncey. She came to where we were staying and took the best care of our Boykin Spaniel, which is our pride and joy. We know this because #1 she sends you updates throughout the day. She also sent me a "thank you" for keeping Chauncey after the first day, which included a picture she had taken. The best reason I know though that she was taken good care of was because on the second day, this mama's girl had no problems with us leaving her with Shivonne. My whole family was in disbelief because Chauncey does not like to be left behind. If you are going to the Boone area and need a dog sitter, Goodness Gracious Extraordinary Petsitting is hands down who to call! My only regret is she doesn't live close enough to me to use all the time! Thank you Shivonne!

Shivonne is a truly wonderful, caring and compassionate person with true integrity when it comes to caring for your pet and your home while you are away. I booked her to do overnight stays with my pets, mainly due to separation issues my senior dog can have, and it was the best decision I've made with pet care in a long time! I came home from a week long trip to very happy dogs, a wonderful welcome home note, and a very neat and tidy home. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Shivonne and her services. She's got a client for life with this family!

Shivonne is amazing! She truly loves and cares for the pets she tends. She is attentive to details regarding their care and makes sure she understands their personalities. She also cares for our home and makes sure that things are taken care of while we are gone. And there's always a sweet Welcome Home note waiting when we get back. She is a blessing!

Shivonne has been marvelously conscientious, dependable, responsive to requests, affectionate and loving with my three pets. She goes above and beyond in providing care for them and our home while we are away and is highly professional and organized; Shivonne takes her job seriously. My dogs love her, and even my antisocial cat is friendly when she visits - there's photographic proof! With the loving care she provides, she has become a member of the family. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

When our pet sitter retired to work full time for a veterinarian, we asked her to recommend a replacement sitter. She said the only person she would leave her pets with was Shivonne Quintero. We called Shivonne for an interview and were blown away by her professionalism, compassion, and positive attitude. One extended trips she sent text messages or photos periodically to reassure us that all was well with our 15 year old cat. She even won him over and allowed her to pet him; he is very aloof and never allows anyone to touch him so that was a major testament to the time and attention she must have showered on him in our absence. We moved last summer and just recently tried a new petsitter here. The exact opposite of Shivonne - no emergency care authorizations, no questions about health or special routines, no mention of a pet carrier or special toys, no updates in our absence, never checked to be sure we got home when scheduled to be sure someone would be taking care of our cat. I'm sure he was fed and the litter box was clean, but nothing beyond that. We really, really miss Goodness Gracious Extraordinary Petsitting and can only hope to keep looking for a petsitter that is half as good as Shivonne. We heartily recommend her services for any pet and especially for one that needs a little additional love and care.

Shivonne is wonderful! We are so fortunate to have found a caring & compassionate person to watch out boy, Max, when we are out of town. We know that he is well-taken care of in our absence.I LOVE her website to schedule and I love that she texts updates. Shivonne is trust-worthy, caring and dependable. Her love of animals shows.

Shivonne is one of those rare people you come across who truly care and love your pet while you are away and they are in her care. She is extremely professional and thorough with all your pets individual needs and any special care. I trust her my (3) Bernese Mountain Dogs and my (2) Maine Coon cats. She has spent the night at my house and has also come in during the day for puppy walks. She is a treasure! Thank you Shivonne

Shivonne Quintero really is an extraordinary caregiver for our very old Great Dane, Buddy, who needs a special diet, extra TLC and attention. She has a great ability to tune in the needs of those animals in her care. She truly loves her clients and puts their health and wellbeing as her #1 priority. My wife and I would unconditionally recommend Shivonne for your pets care. We love her! and so does Buddy!

After trying out a few different pet sitters in the area, I'm so grateful to have found GGE Petsitting! The business owner is responsible, accessible, warm and a fantastic care giver. I love being able to leave my cats at home in their familiar environment and I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing that they are in Shivonne's care while I'm away. The online reservation system is very well-organized which makes booking and communicating a breeze, and I can always get in touch to check in while I'm away. I trust her completely and highly recommend this service.

The staff at Fetching Ridge consistently goes above and beyond for my sweet golden retriever pup, Louie, and I. One of the trainers, Emma, is so kind, gentle and caring that Louie practically leaps out his harness every time he sees her! The pictures and report cards are such a sweet touch and I know we are always in good hands for daycare and boarding.

Do not put your pets in these peoples hands! This business does its best to remove negative reviews to paint a better picture that what actually occurs. They will claim you’re not in their system to deflect any negativity rather than holding their team accountable. My German Shepherd has GI issues which she takes medicine for and I left her at this facility for a week while I was out of town. I provided the proper amount of food as instructed for the duration I’d be gone. When I returned, my pup was underweight and looked like she had not been cared for in the slightest. Along with her belongings were several unused bags of her food which goes to show they don’t follow any personalized instructions you give them should your pup need it. You’ve been warned.

I bring my dogs here to get their toenails trimmed regularly. The staff are very friendly and use an easy manner when dealing with my one dog who hates her nails done. They understand she is upset and talk to her and get things done without any issues. Great Job Ladies!

This place Is absolutely ridiculous. They waited til the day before boarding to tell us our vaccination proof was not sufficient that it needed to have a due date for the next one on the form. Keep in mind this came from a vets office and then they took our money and refused to refund it due to them waiting until the day before boarding to tell us this. Would not recommend to anyone. Stay far away And this is an update since they responded and tried to make it out fault. We did not cancel they waited until 4pm on a Friday to tell us the day before we were supposed to drop our puppy off. And then after we call trying to get verification on what we needed we receive a text telling us THEY are canceling our reservation after we called the vet after hours and got what they needed

My dog loves coming to Fetching Ridge! The staff really get to know your dog, their quirks and preferences, and all of their needs. I always feel good about leaving my pup in their hands when I go out of town, and the staff is so accommodating and willing to work with me when unexpected things arise.

They were super-sweet to our dog Ben on his first day of day care at this establishment, and everyone working there was kind, energetic, and enthusiastic. I'm sure we will be back often.

I've been taking my dog there for a year or so now and he loves it (and me too)! Everytime he realizes where we are going he gets super excited and never gets tired of it.The employees are so loving towards him and friendly to me as well! A great way to make sure that he gets the energy out that he needs and the socialization he loves even when our work schedules get hectic. They even have an app where they tag your pet in photos and it's great to see everytime.

We loved Fetching Ridge when they did grooming. We are dog-less right now, but will certainly use them should we need boarding! The staff was always attentive, caring, and professional.

The staff was easy to work with, communicated with us while we were gone, our puppies were all clean when we picked them up. Job well done Fetching Ridge!

I love this place! I’ve boarded my dog Milo here a couple times and they always take wonderful care of him and send me pictures! My dog enjoys the times he’s boarded here and always come back to me happy and healthy! I highly recommend this business for anyone wanting to board their pet at a trustworthy, high quality place!

Rick is delightful. He and his team took excellent care of our two miniature dachshund fur babies for a week while we stayed in West Jefferson, NC. Destiny did a great job grooming our little fur babies, as well. We are already planning to have our pups stay again at RDR when we visit again in a few months.

We recently visited some friends in Lansing and took our dog Flukie for a grooming at RDR and couldnt be happier with the results. The staff was friendly and wonderful to do deal with, they did a terrific with our 7 year old Border Collie. He had a wash, brush, and his hair trimmed, all for a fair price. Thank you so much for your hard work, we’ll be sure to stop by again next time we’re in the area.

Great staff and quality care, safe environment. Rick and his staff are great

It's the best place in Ashe County to board your pet and they have excellent grooming facilities. The prices are reasonable and the care is excellent. We've been bringing our pets for over thirteen years and have never been disappointed at the level of care.

Always prepared for my dogs. I have one dog who doesn't like most people but he is fine with Rick.

We took our 12 week old Great Pyrenees there as we went camping for a week. They treated her like a queen, and bathed and brushed her before we picked her up. Great job gang, keep it up

Rick, Dawn and Rusty are one in a million. We have a rescue Sheppard and has never been in a kennel since we have had the pleasure of owning her. These guys take awesome care of her when we have time to get away for a few days. We highly recommend RDR kennel to anyone. Thanks again guys!..

They are the best. Took my 2 dogs there for 4 years til we relocated. The kennel and the grooming is great! Would recommend definitely

First time using RDR & so glad to have found this gem! The owners took great care of our two pups while we were at the beach.

RDR is great! I wouldn't leave my pups anywhere else. They take very good care of my babies!!!

They too great and loving care of our cat. It's very hard to find a place that truly provides the special care cats do. All God's Creatures Great & Small did not let us down. They stayed in touch with us every day with texts and pictures and I could see from the photos that Avery felt more and more comfortable there. I wouldn't hesitate to board her there again.

All God’s Creatures staff did a lovely job serving all 3 of my animals at once. When we booked for 1pm, we were told pickup could be as late as 5pm but they were done early and ready a little after 3pm! I informed staff we were fighting a flea battle and all three pets were given Capstar and flea shampoo and came home smelling like flowers! You can feel a massive difference in the health of their coats and the attention to detail that my furbabies received. Not to mention, they also did a great job trimming all of their nails without cutting into the quick/without going too far. The fleas were so bad on our dog that they informed me they washed him twice with no additional cost. A little added touch of love happened when staff called to tell me the animals were ready for pick up. She said, “your *babies* are clean and ready for pick up!” 10/10 loved the care and service my fur-children received! We will be back! Thank you very much to Tereasa and each staff member that helped rid them of these fleas!!! ❤️🙏🏼

We boarded our Boone last week. The check in and pick up process was so easy. They greeted Boone with smiles and loving on him he went right to them. When we went and picked him up he greeted us but went right back to the staff. Almost like he didn’t want to leave. Which made me feel good cause I know he was well taken care of. I highly recommend All God’s Creatures Great and Small.

They are amazing! They were the only place that could help us trim our guinea pigs nails! I should have thought of them first! The young lady that helped was so patient and sweet!! 10/10

Our dogs, Penny and Ziggy, have a wonderful time staying at All Gods Creatures!! We feel very blessed to have a place where the staff care for and love on our girls just like they are at home, while we are out of town. We have absolutely no worries about Penny and Ziggy while we are on vacation!! It’s a wonderful place and I would recommend them to anyone!! 😊😊

I don't how to express how great this place. We are so happy we found them to watch our ferrets. The prices are reasonable & staff super friendly. They text you pictures of fur babies. Highly recommended them. They truly a god sent.

I absolutely love these ladies! We adopted a dog, we set an appointment for him to be groomed. I was telling Debra how bad his nails are. She let us bring him immediately to clip his nails. His appointment was 2 weeks out! Absolutely recommend this business!

We take our little Shauzer there for grooming and daycare....they are so good with her.....

Cato and I both approve and are highly appreciative of the great attitude and care given to him here. They do a very fine job at a very reasonable price. They handle my 110 lb "Great White" with no problem.

They were amazing with our elderly lab Gator. I called as a new client and was able to get an appointment the very next day! They were very kind and we will definitely be switching all of our fur babies to All Gods Creatures!

They came through at last minute for Christmas, much appreciated! Professional, organized, attentive to detail. Prices reasonable for drop-in cat care. Communications app they use is easy and user friendly.

We used this service for the first time this last weekend recommended by a friend. We were very nervous leaving our furbabies alone after not leaving them in over five years. Their attention to detail, the through updates and play by play for what happened when they went to check on the animals really put us at ease. The pictures posted are some of the many pics they shared with us for the updates during our trip. We also feel this option is the most affordable way to make sure our pets were cared for while away making travel much easier and a little bit less stressful overall. They use a very sophisticated app for scheduling, communicating, and updating us which makes everything super easy, accessible, and mainstreamed. The updates made it entertaining to see what our little furbabies were up to each day.

Awesome pet sitter service! The communication is great, daily photos are provided and we appreciate the quality of care they provide our cat when we are out of town!

Metha and her girls always take amazing care of our pups! We trust them even with our more reserved dog. They really take their time and build a relationship with your pets. ❤️❤️

Metha was an absolute treasure for us! We own a farm and haven't been able to take a real vacation in over four years!! Now, we can!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our babies, as you would your own. I truly appreciate it. The updates and photos were such a bonus and I loved reading/viewing them.

Metha and her team of pet sitters are awesome! I am so happy I found them. They take great care of my cats and send so many pictures and a report for each visit. It gives me peace of mind to know my fur babies are taken care of while I'm away.

We use The Prefurred Pack for all of our pet care needs and have for at least 2 years in a very regular basis. We depend on them for daily pet care during the week when my husband and I are working as well as having them stay in our home for pet sitting when we are on vacation. Metha has always taken pride in providing top notch care for the pets as well as always having the best, most well trained staff. We have never had any concerns at all having anyone from her service coming into our home because we know that we can trust Metha to have trustworthy and dependable employees. Our pups absolutely love their sitters and I love knowing our boys are taken care of. My absolute favorite thing is the app that is utilized that gives me real time updates about when they arrive, as well as a full personalized summary of the visit written by the employee doing the visit that day that includes tons of pictures and a full visit report. I also love that o can schedule everything on the app as well as pay and view all past visits and invoices. This business is truly the best of the best and l take pet sitting very seriously and have never been anything but thrilled with our decision to use The Prefurred Pack.

Metha Reed is the owner of this pet sitting company. She came out personally to examine our situation on how to care for our country pets, cats, dogs, and horses. While we were gone, she sent timely updates and photos. Her level of care was exemplary, especially in this age where everyone seems to do just enough to get by. Highly recommended.

Absolutely would recommend! Our Maggie was so happy and we got reports and photos. Sure made our vacation more relaxing

Best decision ever!! Absolutely A+ service and peace of mind is priceless! Highly recommended to anyone for pet sitting best communication ever included daily report and pictures!
