“Kristie is lovely and a consistent staple of peace and ease when I travel. She’s always so loving and caring to my cats and understands me as a cat mama. I trust her completely with my home. Thank you Kristie for being an extension of my home and the love I have for my boyz. 💕”

“Katie and Dylan did a great job taking care of our cats for a week. We came home to a pair of well taken care of kitties and no messes or unpleasant surprises (except the stinky garbage which I forgot to take out! Not their fault at all!) We will definitely hire them again if they are willing and available.”

“We are so lucky to have met Maddy! She is fantastic, flexible, reliable and most of all great with Mo!! Took him no time to get comfortable with her and enjoys her visits! Absolutely love how she gives me a report and fun photos after her visit!”

Tara H.

“10 out of 10! I’ve hardly ever see my animals so comfortable when meeting someone for the first time. But they loved Kara right away. She never left us wondering how our animals were doing and gave great updates and plenty of pictures. Kara was amazing at communicating and would love to have her watch peri and olive anytime!”

Marissa U.

“Joa has been so great with dropping in my dogs while I’m at work. Great communication and photos as well!”

About: Former animal rescuer and vet tech available to sit for your pets. Now retired from FT career, I have all day to care for your pets. You can trust my experience and age to handle your pets responsibly and respectfully. I’ve recently retired from a 20 year career and have all day to care for your pets. I’d love to pour attention into the job, playing with a rambunctious puppy or taking extra time calming an anxious kitty. I worked as a veterinary technician through college, so I have experience administering medications, including by syringe. I have a fenced in backyard. My own cats would be segregated in a separate part of the house so as not to stress your pets or be stressed by them. Cats would not be allowed outside while boarding, as my own cats aren’t, due to too many potential dangers in nature.

About: {Please note I have removed Housesitting from my services through 2025 for a health recovery. Thank you for understanding! ❤️‍🩹🐶} I have been Petsitting and housesitting for friends and family for more than 25 years, so I figured, why not make new friends and continue the tradition? It’s one of my greatest joys in life, getting to know and play with new puppers and their people!! I’ve cared for many types and breeds of dogs, cats, and exotic animals (snakes, tortoises, lizards, turtles, tarantulas, exotic fish, chickens, etc.) and all types of pet personalities - shy, rambunctious, skittish, lazy, grouchy, energetic, and everything in-between. From trained purebreds to rescues who have been abused or neglected and need special attention, I have worked with and enjoyed them all. I’ve administered meds, cared for sick pups and kitties, and taken my charges to the vet when needed. I could be trained to care for your pigs, goats, sheep, horses, etc. I travel a good deal and understand the importance of being able to have your non-human child well looked after and not have to worry about them while you’re out of town, or even if you’re just at work. I work remotely, so your pet gets potty breaks often, and they have a human around almost all the time. We go for small walks around a delightful neighborhood when desired, or longer walks/hikes on nearby trails if the bigger pups are game. There are no off-limits areas in our house- my pug Napoleon slept *under the covers* in the big bed he believed he owned - but if you have different rules, they will be enforced as dictated. Any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am excited to meet you - and your human friends ;)! Working remotely from my home office provides plenty of opportunity for potty breaks and puppy love in-between client interactions on the phone. It also allows me to stay full-time in your home with your pets if overnight sits are your preference. All that is needed is a strong internet connection and a comfortable, quiet place in your home to work. I have a gated yard in the front but can take little pups on-leash if there’s any concern. There’s also a small potty area in the back yard with a full fence for off-leash outside time. I can accommodate a small crate in my home, if desired. For overnights in your home, an initial meet-n-greet will be required prior to the first engagement to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

“Miranda was great with our cat Jasper while we were gone. She communicated well, was timely with her visits and won over his little feline heart. Would certainly recommend her services to anyone.”

Roger B.

“Julie has been wonderful! I really feel like she goes above and beyond with my pets. Her communication is great. I will continue to use her service regularly.”

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.

“Haley is THE best!!! She was so great with my babies and patient when my dog was a little uneasy on her first visit! Always on time and responds to texts in a timely manner. She was willing to adjust to a changing schedule as well. I will definitely be requesting her again and always! She deserves more than a 5-star review!!!”

April R.

“I had a great experience with Dara, I fully trust her with my pets and was happy to see her spend extra time with them to make sure they were loved 🥰”

Lance H.

“Stephanie is the greatest! She was very accommodating to my schedule, before even taking care of our Titan (when meeting Titan for the first time and grabbing my keys). Her updates were thorough, timely and enjoyable to receive. I recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to leave their pup in good hands.”

About: I’ve had many dogs and cats over the years of my own, and love helping people with theirs! Growing up in a family that has a special love for animals gave me a compassionate heart for our four legged companions. My community knows that I am the kind of person that will rescue any animal in need of help, and they can trust me to be reliable with caring for their furry friends. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING! I am available to support pet parents on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays between 8am-5pm for walks or drop-ins! I may have my son along for the adventure, if you book with me please keep this in mind! He loves animals too, helps with ours and will gladly shower your pet with attention. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions! I am a gentle, loving person and will shower your pets with attention and care. If they have special needs, I’ll be patient with them and learn how to best support them during our time together. I have a dog and cat of my own and know how important daily exercise, fresh air and play time is for their health and well-being. Our animals are our family! ❤️

“Sara was wonderful with JuneBug and was very communicative. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I’m very attuned and sensitive to animal body language. Dogs tend to love me at first sight—and the feeling is mutual. 😂 I’m like the cool auntie who’s always ready to play, but I am also super observant and can see when a dog is tired, overstimulated, cranky, etc. I don’t take animal behavior personally. I just watch and respond. Until the hurricane I was volunteering at Brother Wolf, walking every kind of dog from the super leash-pull-y to the “just want to sit in the shade and never go home.” I have my own business as an editor and copywriter. I make my own schedule and often work from home, so short notice could work IF it’s in the Weaverville/N. Asheville area. With more advance notice, I could clear my schedule or plan it around your pet care needs. As much as I’d love to offer boarding services for dogs, I have a sweet cat at home who would not appreciate this. :) Instead, give me all your intricately detailed instructions, your pet’s weird quirks, and whatever other anxious pet-parent stuff you want me to know. I will hold it all, follow it to the letter, be so sweet to your baby—plus I’ll send you photos to keep you updated. I also like to leave a note when I’m done to let you know how we did. If your lil’ buddy needs more constant companionship, I can bring my work to your place! I don’t even need WiFi, I can hotspot from my phone. 🙌🏽

“Bradley did amazing!! All my critters were well cared for and everything in its place. She sent photos everyday and let us know how things were going. Hopefully Bradley will be available next time we head out of town :)”
