Pet Sitting in Ashville

“Missy was great with our 2 cats while we were away! I was worried about our older cat because she has recently been finicky about food but Missy kept me informed and up to date on everything! She was super responsive, sent photos and updates while I was gone and the cats were happy and the house looked great when we returned! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets whether is be midday checks or while your away. Her animal care knowledge and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable while we were gone.”

“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”

“Emily was wonderful to work with and gave my puppy some much needed playtime while I had a long day away. As well as potty opportunities and meals of course! Would absolutely work with her again, Sweet Pea seemed to love her straight from our first meeting.”

About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies

About: I have been dogsitting for two different families since I was 17. They relied on me to feed, walk, and attend to medical needs of their fur babies while sitting! I am pretty available during the week and I always find time to spend time with animals. I am also very flexible with others schedules! I have my own kitten so I know how to care for animals and my family has had three different dogs so I understand how to care for dogs and cats! And I am willing to learn for any other pet!

About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

“Megan did an excellent job caring for our kitties while we were away. She was communicative and responsive every time we reached out and incredibly flexible when plans had to change at the last minute. I would recommend her to anyone and would happily have her come back.”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve worked at a professional dog kennel and a grooming salon, where I gained valuable skills in handling dogs in both high-energy and sensitive environments. From daily care routines to recognizing behavior cues, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that keeps pets comfortable and happy. I’ve also spent the past 10 years raising my own dog, giving me first-hand experience in everything from puppy training to senior care. Whether your pet needs structured attention or just a loving companion while you’re away, I provide reliable, knowledgeable, and heartfelt care. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I’m able to give pets my full attention and be there whenever they need care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal feels secure. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, making sure pets are always safe, happy, and stress-free. I treat each pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you.

“Ali was awesome highly recommend 😊”

About: I offer pet photography! I am a photographer and would love to get your dog professional photos while I am pet sitting. I’ve had animals my entire childhood. We have never been without a dog in our home. I am experienced in dog walking, over night stays, check ins, and belly rubs! I am currently not working so I will have all the time to care for your dogs any day! Weekdays or weekends I will be there for your pup! I will follow any directions you give me based on your dogs needs. I am very rule oriented so anything you have to do for your pup will be done by me!

About: I started house sitting in high school for close family friends/neighbors of ours. The first family that trusted me had 2 birds, a turtle, 2 older cats, a dog, and 2 fish. Caring for the cats involved a good deal of specificity, especially with the timeliness of their routines. I also have walked and cared for numerous dogs through babysitting & nannying, whether it be overnight jobs or just for a few hours, and I understand the attention to detail it takes to make a pet and a pet parent feel happy and comfortable. My dog tore his ACL on the beach with me while I was in college, I carried him up and down my townhouse stairs for months. He also had allergies with a variety of treatments including soap that had to sit in a lather for 5-15 minutes every day (he did not like baths, especially when it was cold out), special diet, and pills. At times, I was giving him a few pills each morning. He was very smart, and adventurous enough to be a little mischievous. He knew when there was a pill in food, he could smell it, or have watched me prepare it differently. It got to the point that we had a position to get into, I would place a pill as far back on his tongue then have to hold his chin up. Sometimes he would pretend to swallow it, then go spit it elsewhere when he thought I wasn’t looking. He taught me to appreciate a dog’s individuality and sense of wit. I imagine pet personalities come in as wide a variety as humans, and I believe understanding, attentiveness, and playfulness are the standard for pet care. I work 8:30-5 (ish) 4 days per week, and I am happy to stop by before and after work and/or during lunch if reasonable, some days I get longer lunch breaks :) I am flexible on the weekends. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family. I do think routines and caretaking look different per pet and household, but however works best for pet parents and their pets, they can expect I will be engaged, responsible, loving, and kind to their fur babies. I do also have a fenced in backyard, and live with two dogs if that option is valued.

About: Animals are my life. I have two fur babies of my own. I love spending time with them. I’ve had pets all my life. Pets make a house a home. When you feed them the best things, give them good medical care, tell them daily that they are loved, the love they give you back to you is priceless. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure the pet is HAPPY when under my watch. Comfort is important when being away from your family. Flexible schedule allows me to have maximum flexibility. Respect your care plan for your pet. Communication to comfort owners who are away from their pets for extended periods. Can request check ins by phone facetime, email or text. Let me know ahead of time if need.

I live with my 8 month old puppy and 3 month old cat. I let them roam free so pet friendly is a plus. If not I can crate them if necessary during your booking. We also have a dog pen and gates thoughout the house. Keeping a calm and safe comfortable loving environment is my top priority. Firstly I have all the yummy treats to share. Any restrictions let me know. My dog favorite thing right now is dried herring fish and dole biscuits. She also like beef booties filled with pumpkin and sweet potato. Daily supplements.

About: My husband and I have raised kittens and puppies for the past 20+ years. Our children all have had jobs pet sitting for multiple people. Our family honestly just loves animals, so we figured why not earn some extra money to put towards family getaways, doing what we love. Plus it gives us a chance to do something together! Between myself and the 5 other family members in my home, we can figure out a way to accommodate the needs for your pet. Plus most of us drive so we can provide transport or easily come to you:) We have a large yard for your pet to play, and a great neighborhood with side walks to take for walks. We love playing with animals and cuddles, but we also have enough space in our home if you’d like your pet more secluded.
