Dog Walking Alexander

About: I am new to sitting however, I have been taking care of my own babies since I was in college, 16 years ago. I have always made them my priority and provided a loving home. I am currently working part time. It is mostly evenings and weekends. I’m available most of the day for hanging out, walking, and feeding. I am typically with my babies all day outside of work. We love to go on walks, watch tv, talk, and nap. I would love to split those hours with your babies!

“Gracyn so nice n on time. So very hot last week but Annie loved her walks. Many thanx.”

“Megan was so caring for my pups! She kept in touch with updates and pictures, and made sure they got exercise and extra love in my absence. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”

About: I've had pets my whole life. I did 4 years of vocational training in veterinary medicine throughout high school, and I also pet sitted for neighborhood pets during that time. Afterwards, I went to college and got a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences, focusing on Behavior and Well-Being. I had many animal related jobs throughout that time and am fully ready to return to caring for cats and dogs. I'm currently working full time, so I am a bit busy. However, I am trying to get a part time job so I can have more time to dedicate to your beloved pets. I prefer to care for animals in their own home, so they can still feel a sense of safety and comfort if they are wary around strangers or don't care for new environments.

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

About: I've been a care provider of all kinds over the years. I started as at home nurse and eventually moved into more full time pet care. I have strong animal intuition, and dogs bring me great joy! I work remotely and on my own time, so pet care fits seamlessly into the mix. I can accommodate whatever your dogs specific needs are. I don't have much of a yard, but I'm walking distance to two parks. I also have space to board one dog at a time in my cozy little house, and this way I can provide the most customized care.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a dachshund and a rottweiler (quite the duo!), and later on I had a bull terrier of my own that I absolutely adored. I also lived with a golden retriever, so I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of personalities and energy levels. For the past 10 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family. They trust me because they know their pups will get more than just the basics, they’ll get love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. Right now I have full-time availability, which means your pet will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Since I’m not balancing another job, I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable — I live alone in a 3-bedroom house, so there’s lots of room for them to play, explore, or just relax. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a very walkable neighborhood, so I make sure they get plenty of walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home if that’s where they feel most comfortable. Whether at my place or yours, I always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need.

“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”

Becca N.

“Thank you so much for everything, Blair! Miles and I so appreciate it!!”

Christin D.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

About: Growing up with at least two dogs in my home at any given time, I have gratitude for the joy and companionship pets can bring to a family. I've cared for my senior cat for the past 19 years. She is the love of my life who is now suffering from kidney failure. 😞 While in high school, I spent 4 years in the dog grooming industry. To this day, I am always the first to volunteer to look after pets for my friends and family. I now work at the Western North Carolina Nature Center by day where I train to handle animals during educational programs and support their well-being as "ambassadors" of their species. I have respect and love for all animals! 🩷 I'm also passionate about holistic pet health and cognition, and can accommodate to your pet's special diet protocol or exercise plan. In addition, I have experience giving around-the-clock care for puppies and senior pets and can administer medication when needed. I also offer nail trims and baths for well-behaved pets. Outside of my time spent at the Nature Center, I also work part-time in a hybrid role as an administrative assistant. This allows me the flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I look forward to spending quality time with your best friend! I'm currently working part-time, with ample time off in the afternoons and evenings. I'm available after work around 3pm for walks and drop-ins, and am able to offer potty breaks every 4 hours or so during house sits. My days off from work are Wednesday and Thursday--if you'd like to request a walk or drop-in during an earlier time frame on those days, let me know! 😊 I am a compassionate and detail-oriented pet sitter. I really enjoy spending quality time with my client's pets. I'm happy to spend lots of time outside as needed.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having been raised with pets my whole life! I strongly believe in giving them the best care possible. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and attention to detail when it comes to providing the best care for animals. I have a 4-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix that I’ve raised from a puppy and have trained with love and patience, ensuring she has grown into a well-behaved and happy companion. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a senior dog with congestive heart failure (CHF), where I administered around-the-clock medication and provided the special attention needed to ensure their comfort. I understand how important it is to give both young and senior pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart is my compassion and attention to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether it’s providing personalized training or simply offering them the companionship they need when you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, training, or medication management, you can trust that I will give them the highest level of care. I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same quality care I’d give my own pet! As a full-time professional who is new to the area, I have extra time available after my work hours and on weekends. I understand the importance of consistency in pet care and am happy to accommodate your pet's needs around my schedule. I am available before 7 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I offer flexible hours on weekends with prior notice. Whether it's a morning walk, evening playtime, or weekend care, I am committed to providing reliable and loving attention to your pets. I take the safety and well-being of every pet I care for very seriously. While I am unable to keep pets in my own apartment due to strict policies, I am more than happy to provide excellent care in the comfort of your home. I understand the importance of a familiar environment for pets and make sure to create a calm, secure, and loving space for them while you're away. I follow clear instructions for their routines, ensuring they feel at ease and receive the best possible care. Trust is crucial in pet care, and I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. With many years of experience, I offer a reliable, compassionate service, and I make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos. I also respect your home and space, ensuring I leave it just as I found it, clean and orderly, so you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in good hands.

About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.

About: We both love animals of all kinds. We have always had pets in our lives and have loved being dog sitters for friends and family over the years. We are currently the proud parents of two wonderful dogs, Honeybee and Charlie. We have experience with special care for senior dogs. Our dog Carlos was blind and deaf for the last few years of his life, and had diabetes, requiring insulin shots every 12 hours. We have some dog training skills and have helped Honeybee on her path, starting as a wild rescue puppy to being the well-behaved young lady that she is now. We believe in positive reinforcement training and understand dog behavior enough to know when to step in and intervene. I (Ethan) am currently working a very flexible schedule of driving for Uber and Lyft. My schedule allows me to be home often and to stop by and check on Charlie and Honeybee and any visiting dogs frequently when I am working. If we have doggy daycare clients I am able to stay home all day. Hope is around on evenings and weekends and is always ready for playtime and snuggles with the pups. I am currently sharing residence with my partner Hope (who loves dogs as much as I do!) and she shares in the care of all the dogs. We have a large, fenced-in yard in the heart of West Asheville. We won’t leave your dogs outdoors unattended and will respect any special requirements as to the safety of your beloved babies. We understand the need for routine in a dog's life and will be happy to abide by whatever feeding/medication schedule, exercise needs, etc. that your dog has.

About: I have had animals my entire life, and I love them all! I can take dogs on an adventure, or enjoy a quick stroll around the neighborhood, depending on their needs. I want them to feel safe and comfortable with me! I have more availability over the weekends, but am happy to chat about care during the week to see if it is the right fit I treat your dogs like they are my own - they are welcome to snuggle on the furniture and be comfortable. I have a dog park in my neighborhood to provide time off leash and for play.

About: Ive always adored animals with my whole heart. They are my passion and my purpose. I have owned dogs all my life of different kinds. I am now on the road traveling and constantly trying to find ways to connect and spend time with animals while continuing to fuel my passion of exploring this beautiful world:) I am building my own skincare business while on the road always moving, always preparing to stay anywhere needed. Flow where the animals take me:) Always will play with toys, lots of energy, and cuddles when open & accepted. Can bathe, feed, go on walks, and any house service thats needed. Love to stay busy if I can help out

About: I’ve had cats and a previous dog since childhood. I have love for all animals, but cats have won my heart. I love walking dogs and giving them time to run around and get their energy out. I have previously volunteered at Brother Wolf for dog walking and really enjoyed it! I’m currently filling my client caseload so I have more flexibility on the days listed here to offer help and support to your fur baby I’m very attentive to my pets needs, safety, and health. I offer the same to other dogs and cats I have spent time with for friends and family

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

“Makayla did not hesitate to take care of our snoopy. She did a great job both walking and house sitting. We will never hesitate to book Makayla again.”
