“Madison was a wonderful caretaker for our pups (and cat) while we were away. She was super friendly and loving with our animals. We got lots of pics and updates while we were gone. Her communication is great, too. Thanks Madi!”
“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”
“Makenzy was great with our pups! She provided updates and pictures with each drop-in, and we felt comfortable leaving our pups in her care. Would definitely recommend Makenzy to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. Long walks, play time, and great care of dogs is a genuine passion of mine. I work full time, but I have the capacity to walk dogs twice or more. I will work hard to fit them into my schedule! I have a fenced in yard with one dog. I take him on walks and runs. I carry poop bags with me if I need!
“I went out of town on short notice and needed a sitter to drop in to feed my kitty twice daily while I was away. Thank goodness I found Kenzie! Kenzie responded quickly and we were able to coordinate details smoothly. Not only did she feed my little guy, but also took the full half hour to play with him and give him pets, sending pics and a report at the end. Would recommend Kenzie!”
“Lyndsi was absolutely amazing with our senior cat and kitten who needed daily medicine. Our senior is shy but warmed right up to her. The detailed updates and numerous photos helped keep my worries away. She even left the cutest drawing of our kitties. I will always book with Lyndsi!”
About: Ever since I was a little kid I fell in love with every animal I met. Starting in high school I began watching pets for neighbors, family and friends. I have lived in the Asheville area now since 2017 and have spent time pet sitting many dogs, cats and chickens. I am open to watching all pets and look forward to meeting them! I am a self-employed ceramic artist so my schedule can be very flexible to house sitting, dog walking, etc. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate any schedule you need! I have reliable transportation and am happy to come take care of your animals in your home. I have a Subaru Outback and can easily put your dog in the car to go to a park or walking trail. I do not watch pets at my own home. I currently live in an apartment building with restricted animal rules and have my own cat who is older and does not want to be around other animals.
“This was our second time booking Kumiko and she is truly the best. So professional and a great communicator for times to make things work while she schedules with other clients. Our friends just used her and were equally pleased. Its such a relief to know we have someone to care for our cats.”
“Stephanie was so awesome!! She sent lots of great pictures and videos of our babies having fun and left super detailed messages that were so appreciated. She was very fun to work with and talk to and we felt so relaxed knowing our pups were in good hands!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life. Several have been rescued as strays. I can care for an animal at any stage of life. I’m happy to walk dogs and snuggle cats. I am a homeschool mom and have plenty of time to give your animals the love they need. I can do weekday walks and daily check ins. Over night stays are possible as well.

About: *Cat, dog, Small animal, farm animal and exotic animal care* Hi, I'm Kate! I'm a New York native, who has made home in WNC. With 9 years of experience as a licensed veterinary technician and 5 years of running my own pet sitting business, I am so excited to continue to build my client base in North Carolina. Pets are more than just animals to me. I have a deep understanding of animals medically, emotionally, behaviorally- as well as understand the safety and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. My main goal is providing a peace of mind for all my clients. I go above and beyond to make sure all instructions are followed and you feel comfortable knowing your pets are in the best hands. Some examples of my medical experience: - Senior pet care - Nail trimming - Medicine Administration - Insulin Injections - SQ Fluids (for chronic kidney patients) I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and becoming your go-to, long-term pet sitter/dog walker! I am a full-time pet sitter and dog walker. I also offer additional services, including nail trims, medication administration, etc. If there is something you don't see listed on my profile, just ask me and we can discuss options. Safety is my top priority. Because this is my full-time job, I give each visit my undivided and full attention. Maintaining a calm demeanor while I am in your home creates the best environment for all pets, especially ones with anxiety.
About: I have been caring for pets since I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I have tended to many different kinds of animals and multiple breeds of dogs, including puppies, pregnant and senior dogs, and everything in between. I am a full-time doctoral student, so I am free for early morning visits or afternoon care. I am looking forward to spending time with your furry friends between classes and work! I promise to take great care of your furry friends; I will always treat them as my own and provide them with as much care as I do with my own pets. As a mom of 2 dogs and a cat, I know how important our pets are to us. I will always provide your pets with extra love and care, as if they were my own.
About: I have dog sat for dogs of all sizes. I’ve got experience in drop in visits, long walks, snack and food breaks, and overnight stays! I currently have plenty of time in the mornings or on the weekend to meet and pet all the animals! I also have some availability in the afternoons depending on the week I have 2 young cats that are indoor cats and are very playful. I am great at locking the door or keeping animals separated if needed.
