“Rosko loves Louise! She's obviously an animal lover, and she provides appropriate boundaries while letting Rosko explore as he loves to do. She's great at communicating, and punctual. Five wags!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them my whole life. I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets while they were away, handling everything from walks and playtime to feeding and snuggles. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m currently only working part time, so I have times during the week and weekends to provide the services you need for your fur babies! When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walk schedules, or playtime. I make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention while also respecting your home and keeping it clean and tidy. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.


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.

About: I’ve had wide variety of pets throughout my life, from ferrets, fish to cats and dogs. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve also assisted friends and neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their dogs when they were unable to. I'm currently working full time and have availability on Mondays. from 11:00am to 2:00 pm, Tuesdays from 12:00pm to 9:00pm, Fridays from 1:00pm to 9:00pm, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:00pm When caring for pets I focus on safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, for both the pet and you to ensure a stress free experience for all.

“Maddy is responsive, communicative, and great with dogs! Our pup had a great time with her and we will definitely be rebooking with her again !”


“Lindsay has been awesome & a lifesaver! My dad recently had surgery that is prohibiting him from walking Bert & Lindsay has shown up everyday, with a smile on her face, to walk Bert. My dad has even enjoyed walking with them too. Not only has she been there for Bert, but my dad also has someone to talk to as well, & he NOTHING but great things to say about her. If we are ever in need again for walker services, we will definitely book Lindsay again!”


“Stephanie is great! Very flexible schedule and my dog loves her!”


“Julie has continued to provide friendly and reliable dog walking for our high energy Weimaraner, even in the aftermath of Helene. We are extremely grateful. Thank you, Julie!”


About: For the last 4 years that I’ve lived in North Carolina I have been dog sitting for my parents coworkers and any people that have asked. I’ve owned and been around cats since I was a baby. I love going on walks and appreciate being able to take an animal with me. I’m taking the summers mostly off since I work a lot during the school year. In the summers I go on walks one to two times a day. I’m very careful with making sure that there are no possible choking hazards on the ground that a pet could possible eat and I keep any tripping hazards off the ground. We also have a small fenced in backyard so I can keep a close eye on any possible pets.

“Thank you for being so amazing with Echo! I booked super last minute and you were willing and available! Super grateful for your help!”


“Jennifer is energetic, positive, and loves my Nola. She is generous with her time and takes great pictures. I highly recommend her services.”



“She is kind, and flexible, and seems to really enjoy what she's doing with animals. Went above and beyond”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: Although lacking official pet care experience I have helped family members and friends with pet sitting and walking. I have also aided my mom with raising two puppies to full adult dogs and took care of one senior dog (family dogs). I grew up in the country of upstate new york and have loved animals since forever, all the down to the little guys like salamanders and frogs. I volunteer at the Charlotte Humane society when I can and have helped out cleaning kennels and have undergone safety training videos. I work Monday through Friday but outside of work I tend to have a pretty open and flexible schedule. My open hours are Friday afternoon through the weekend to start and then as I get more comfortable I'll open more hours up. As long as I get 24 hours notice I can figure anything out! I grew up with both a golden retriever and a Pyrenees, so I have taken care of more go with the flow dogs and then as well dogs that tend to have a more stubborn side. I read animals very well, have watched many behavioral video's, and know how to interact when animals might be more on the ornery side. I care for any animal as if they were my own which includes lot's of belly rubs, pets, and baby talk. I am an avid rule follower and won't stray from any instructions given.

“Brody was amazing! My dogs are determined to attack everyone they meet with love and it can definitely be intimidating lol. Love my babies but they’re extra. Brody embraced their love and all their energy and they took to him right away! He was very communicative with me while we were out of town and he did a great job keeping up with my puppy’s medication schedule. She looked so much better when I got back. He was able to control my larger and super strong dog. Brody even went above and beyond and stayed a little longer with them. I felt at peace knowing he had them covered while we were away. Will def book him again!”
