Doggy Day Care Andy Cove

“Our dog Mint came to us as an adult rescue with a tender heart and big separation anxiety. She trembles and cries to ride in a car, uncertain where she’s being taken. On her third visit with Brody, as soon as we turned into his driveway she quieted and started wagging. As I drove away, the rearview mirror showed her dancing around his legs and eagerly running to his front door. Priceless peace of mind!”

About: Animals simply fill me with happiness. Ever since childhood, I have felt connected to the language of animals and have gotten such a deep and inexplicable joy from hanging out with them. I have worked professionally as an independent pet sitter in various parts of the country for the past seven years and have had some of the most rewarding experiences with the animals I've befriended. I offer overnight stays in my home where I live alone on three acres of pristine property in Weaverville, NC. At my house, your pets well being and happiness is considered my top priority while you are away. A little aside: I am also an herbalist and researcher/writer and a lot of my work is done quietly and remotely, so choosing you leave your pet with me ensures that I will be present for your animal(s) and give them ample attention while you are out of town. I offer genuine presence, nourishment, and heartfelt attention to your beloved creatures while giving them a lovely space with lots of land and beauty, and peace all around. I grew up with many animals that have touched my life tremendously, and I have developed an intuitive understanding of their communication style and overall needs. I offer free meet and greets, am adaptable to requests, and have worked with dogs and cats of many shapes, sizes, and situations. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to ask me any anything or set up a time to connect! I work from home as a Clinical Herbalist, researcher and writer, so I'm available to give my full attention to animals in my care, with excitement and gratitude. With utmost love and integrity. I am an animal lover to the core, and I aim to give animals a deeply rewarding and safe experience.

About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, and much more animals my entire life. I love taking care of animals and have done it for friends and family for years. I’m very active and love walks and runs! I have 3 animals of my own including 2 dogs and a cat. I have taken care of baby, Senior, adult, healthy, and sick animals. I’m an animal lover and love meeting new people and animals. I have a lot of knowledge with animals for the simple fact that I have been around 100’s my entire life, from saving strays to having pets. I live in Weaverville and would love to help out with taking care of your pet or pets! I work all day but could be flexible. Im a personal trainer, my hours are 4am-2/3pm. I am available with at least a week notice. I can help on M-F and weekends with drop ins and walks. I have a yard as well as 2 friendly playful dogs. I have crates as well as separated floors that are gated off in my home that always help.

“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”

“Miranda was very kind and understanding about my rescue dog Sable having separation anxiety. Sable loved the yard and the opportunity to meet another dog friend. She was clearly comfortable with Miranda and calm during her daytime stay. We will definitely book her again in the future!”

Holly R.

“We were in town for a day and wanted to explore a little bit so needed to find somewhere last minute to drop off our 2 dogs. Daniella responded immediately and was extremely welcoming and well prepared to take care of them. She has a fenced in area for them to run around and from the amazing pictures (and videos!) she sent us, they had a great time. If we’re ever back in town we won’t hesitate to leave them with her again.”

“Vicky was fantastic. Spencer was relaxed and happy when we picked him up. She was very attentive sent photos and asked questions. I was appreciative of her concern for my little guy. She was great. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.

“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”

“We were in the area for sightseeing. Kristin was welcoming and seemed to be aware of how to treat the different sizes of dog that she was watching. I can not speak on Stellas behalf, except I Heard no complaining. Thanks for watching Stella for us so that we can enjoy our sightseeing.”

Donna D.

“I'm so glad we found Nate!! He was so patient, easy going and communicated every step of the way. He didn't make us feel like our dogs were nuisances or an inconvenience like a previous sitter made us feel. I was so happy to see both my dogs having so much fun running around with Bilbo in the huge fenced in area. Bilbo is the sweetest dog ever! We're going to be repeat customers.”

About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have community activities out but they do not dominate my day. I spend my time focused on creativity (working on art and music projects) at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am very active and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, I am here most of the time. My husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). If boarding in my home, I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.

“Caroline was so gracious to host Vito in her home! We were able to explore Asheville worry free knowing Vito was safe in her care. Caroline took Vito for walks & even sent a midday text & photo to assure us Vito was happy. I highly recommend Caroline to take care of your dog while visiting Asheville!”
