I can’t recommend Alex enough!! He was communicative, kind, took so many great photos of our cats during every drop in visit and we appreciated the flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. He went above and beyond and anyone would be lucky to have him watching their fur babies 💖

About: I am a local dog trainer with over 10 years of experience training and handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I own 3 Belgian Malinois who I actively train and compete with in Competition Obedience and bite sports and a tiny Maltipoo who is my best snuggle buddy. I am a local dog trainer, so my day to day is filled with caring for peoples’ dogs! Working with dogs and their humans is my passion in life. I am incredibly serious about animal safety, care, and cleanliness. If dogs are in my home they are part of my own pack and treated as if they are my own.

About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time

Thomas has entertained our young puppy “Grover” for three busy days for our household. He has quickly become one of Grover’s favorite humans. Thomas responded to our initial request very promptly, came by for a meet & greet with Grover and gave us back a happy and tired puppy three days in a row!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. I will be new to the Asheville area, so I am only currently available on weekends. However, I will be available full time once I complete my move in June! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!

About: Dogs want to feel like their routine and comfort are not in jeopardy when their people are away. That is my goal, to decrease separation anxiety and stress by keeping the routine, lots of snuggles and exercise. Each dog has a a unique personality and set of needs. I get that and want to differentiate my services for each pup I stay with while you are away. I've cared for dogs most of my life. I currently have two in my home. I am active and athletic so if you're dog needs to run we can enjoy a neighborhood or park run. I'm comfortable administering oral medication, if needed. I can bath your pooch, if needed or requested. I'm available to meet you ahead of time to make sure if feels like a good fit. My goal is for you to miss your pup but not worry about them! I operate on a flexible schedule. My work hours vary, based on how I schedule my days. Key words here are flexible and available! Just ask... I will care for pets in your home as you do. I will provide for their needs, and give them extra love to help them feel secure while you're away. If they enjoy it, I'll take them out for hiking adventures.

About: I have 14 years experience as an animal care provider and I'm able to train animals using positive reinforcement methods. I've trained animals in leash walking, dinner time manners, night time routines, special tricks, negating biting, barking, licking, begging, pulling on walks, aggression, and much more. I've provided care for varying breeds and temperaments and I'm available for extended stays (+20days). I give full, undivided attention to the animals I care for and it gives me great joy to see them so happy. I try to treat the animals I care for as I would like to be taken care of with dignity, love, respect, and lots of playing outside! For full-day or overnight stays, I am with your pets the entirety of the stay (unless to go on a quick trip to the grocery store). I normally work around schedules to help pet families as much as I can. I love all animals and am privileged to care for them, so they receive my full attention when in my care. I make sure that not only are their needs and the owner's needs are being met, but that they have fun and are happy while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and my friends have asked me to take care of their pets, which range from small dogs, cats to Great Danes and ferrets. I’m an animal lover! So I will be great to your pet(s)!! I’m currently working part time, so I’m free to look after fur babies the majority of times. I’m also a nurse, so I’m good at practical thinking and problem solving. My own dogs are very spoiled! So I promise to love and spoil your fur babies as well!! I will make sure they not only have what they need but what they want as well.

Ashley is awesome! I was away for longer than usual, plus I don’t go away often. I scheduled Ashley for 2 drop-ins a day for my 2 dogs and 1 cat. Ashley was very flexible and worked with me on arranging the drop in times, etc. She went over and above the requirements and I was at ease being away from my pets. She checked in regularly and sent me photos every visit. My dogs adored her as well. Next time I need a sitter for my girls I will definitely contact Ashley first.
