“Elijah was the best! Quick communicator. And I felt very at ease leaving my fur baby with him. I will certainly use him again. This, by far, has been my best pet sitting experience in years! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Elijah!”


“Michelle was a fantastic dog sitter! She was kind enough to accept Mr. Pibb at the last minute when we were in a pinch, and she and her daughter went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and at home! She sent several videos and photos every day with detailed messages about how the day went, and what all they did together. Mr. Pibb got lots of snuggles and play time while he was there. I could tell he was really enjoying being there in the videos which helped me not have to worry about him at all! He was in very good hands with both Michelle and her daughter. Thank you Michelle! We will definitely book with you again in the future!”


“Gabriella was fantastic with my dog—I really appreciate her clear and consistent communication, as well as her flexibility with pickup and drop off. She made a nice, comfortable space for Brooks while he was at her home and I’m sure he would love to stay with her again.”


“Katie and Preston were so good to my puppy, Mona! They sent cute pictures and daily updates as to how she was doing that eased my nerves while I was away. They were additionally very accommodating and understanding when pick-up time kept getting pushed back due to multiple delays for my flight home. I never had any doubt that she was getting great care, and will definitely book with them again!”


“My baby was in very good hands with Jessica and John (Jack). Thanks for taking such good care of Zeus on his first away from home stay. I really enjoyed the pictures and videos and know you spoiled him a lot. He went around our house this morning sniffing everything, glad he was home. But I know he will be in very good hands if we ever have to leave him home again. Thanks again J and J. We appreciate you!”


“Kyle was great! My sweet girl Hope is very shy, but Kyle gave me assurance that she would be well taken care of and she was. She came out of her shell and even play with their dog Lou. I highly recommend her and will use her services in the future. Thanks again Kyle, Randy and Lou!”


“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with our sweet girl. She sent pictures and videos and updates each day she had our pup. We are nervous moms when it comes to leaving our babies with strangers but we left feeling confident Teresa would be good to our girl and she was beyond amazing!”


About: My standard rates apply for most bookings, including multi-pet households. However, for longer stays (typically 7+ days) with 4 or more animals, I’m open to discussing custom pricing. I want to make sure you’re covered while keeping things fair for both of us—feel free to message me and we can talk details if it’s an extended visit! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years, starting in a multi-pet household and continuing as a trusted sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience administering medications—both oral and topical. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, mealtime, or snuggles, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away I’m currently in between jobs, so I have open availability through early August—including weekdays, weekends, and even short-notice bookings. Once my new job starts, I’ll still be available most weekday evenings and weekends unless I’m out of town. I do this because I genuinely love animals—pet sitting doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something I truly enjoy, and it’s always rewarding to spend time with animals, care for them, and earn their trust. I’m most comfortable house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment—it’s usually less stressful for them, and I love making sure they stay relaxed and happy while you’re away. I’m great with cats and dogs alike, and I have lots of experience managing routines, giving meds, and keeping things tidy. I do have one friendly dog at home, and while I can host in emergencies, I typically prefer to care for your pets in their own space so they feel safe and settled. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are always my priority.

“Alexis took very good care of my little dachshunds. They got lots of great walks and time to play. They came home very happy. Thanks again for helping out on such short notice!”


“Miranda, was the best , this was my first time using Rover. It was a short notice of when I needed help.she was flexible, letting me meet her the day before. And was ok with a late pick up. I'm so thankful for finding her. And it sounded like Willoughby had a great day. I will be sure to contact her again when I need a dog sitter. If you are looking for someone to care for your fur baby give Miranda a call. You will be glad you did and so will you pet.”


About: Hi, I’m Holly! I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and have a natural intuition for understanding them. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My fiancé (a fellow dog lover!) and our dog Kai share a cozy home in West Asheville with a securely fenced yard perfect for safe playtime and fresh air breaks. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! ❤️ I currently work part-time and work only four minutes away from my house so I would have plenty of time to come back and check on your pup in the middle of my day. I have a fenced in back yard and one sweet dog that loves to play. I can crate your dog when I’m out of the house or let your dog roam. I keep my house clean and safe for dogs.

About: I’ve lived with (big) dogs all my life. Both of my dogs have dealt with health issues so from a very young age I was learning how to take special care of my dogs, giving them medication and special treatment. By the age of 10 I was volunteering to pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. I recently worked at a dog boarding/ play care and my love for our 4-legged friends is forever growing. I try to give my pup the best life that I can and I hope to do the same for many others! I’m currently working a part time job so I would have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My schedule is pretty flexible for both day time and overnight. I’m available to care for your pets in the comfort of your/their home, as well as providing dog walks in your neighborhood and longer trail walks if desired. I am comfortable following any feeding or medication needs as directed. I would be happy to do a meet and greet before sitting to make sure that we’re the best fit for each other.

“Shannon provided great care for my two dogs and provided timely updates with pictures while we were away. Her house was easy to find and has great outdoor space for them to play. I highly recommend Shannon.”


“Paul is an excellent sitter, and my pup got so much attention and care staying with him! He has a wealth of experience with dogs, and is very attentive to their needs and behaviors. He is incredibly responsive and flexible, and I was happy knowing that my dog had a yard to play in, a dog companion to be with, and humans who were around to give her lots of love. His home is comfortable and catered to the needs of dogs, with plenty of cozy dog beds and places for them to look out of windows. He sent lots of photo and video updates, too. The next time I need a dog sitter, I will be booking with him. Thank you, Paul and Remi!”

Adalin T.
“I first met Adalin when she was in elementary school. I was walking my dog past her house and heard a young voice call out from a tree “I like your dog!” She hopped down from her tree to meet my typically shy dog, who eagerly greeted her. The following summer I had the pleasure of spending my days with her, her younger brother, the family’s two dogs and my own, when her parents contacted me for summer childcare through a neighborhood friend. Adalin loved encouraging the dogs to play and eagerly took them on lots of walks, managing her family’s two year old Pyrenees with care. Her attention and joy in the task was so apparent that several other neighbors asked if she would walk their dogs too, and she was taking care of three or four dogs by the middle of the summer. In the following years, I and other neighbors have continued to call on Adalin for pet care and house sitting for a variety of pets from dogs to cats to chickens. Your pet will be in loving hands with Adalin!”
