Dog Walking Avery Creek

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

About: I have pet sat for friends, family and co workers over the years in addition to always having two of my own cats. I treat all pets as I would want someone to treat mine! 🥰 I am a reservist in the Coast Guard. I only work one weekend a month and am trying to find more work with things I am passionate about. To me, nothing is better than hanging out with furry friends! I have a small fenced in patio and a three bedroom home. I live close to a park and love to go walking! Again, I always treat other people’s pets how I would care for my own.

“Grayson is SO great with Tela! They took to each other right away. Thanks so much for your help and Tela can’t wait to see you again!”

About: Expert in ear scratches for critters big and small. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to run, if you’re looking to get exercise for your pup. I also have experience with senior animals that just want to snuggle. I’m available every weekend and work part time during the week. I can work walks or runs in with your pet during the week the week as well. I’d love to check on your pet in the comfort of their home, where all their favorite toys and treats are. I’m looking forward to scheduling!

“My pup loves Adrienne! She's dependable and great with communication. I love seeing pictures of my dog having fun while I'm at work!”

About: I have 2 cats at home and owned a dog for over 12 years (unfortunately he recently has passed) so I have experience with both. I have also been dog walking for the past few year and recently started offering boarding as well as drop in services I’m currently working downtown full time so current availability is on the weekends however open to over night stays over Fridays and Mondays as there is someone home at all times. I enjoy going for long walks and I am very gentle with pets when they’re first meeting me or my pets so I give them plenty of space to ease them into being comfortable around us.

About: Fun, young, athletic, etc that LOVES animals and would love to walk yours and hang out with them!!! I have always been an animal person and I have a puppy of my own so I understand the needs of young puppies and also older ones! Pet care fits in my schedule because I will ALWAYS make time for an animal! Also I love to help out where I can so that is why I signed up to do this! Since I am doing dog walking, I make sure your dog gets in good exercise while out with me! Try to get those legs stretched and just out enjoying the weather!

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

About: I have had animals my entire life, and I love them all! I can take dogs on an adventure, or enjoy a quick stroll around the neighborhood, depending on their needs. I want them to feel safe and comfortable with me! I have more availability over the weekends, but am happy to chat about care during the week to see if it is the right fit I treat your dogs like they are my own - they are welcome to snuggle on the furniture and be comfortable. I have a dog park in my neighborhood to provide time off leash and for play.

“Laura’s great and sends pics while she is hanging out with our dog!”

About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.

About: My family has owned two dogs and one cat since I have been 7. I have two dogs myself, one 3 and the other 4 years old. I have frequently taken care of cats and dogs for friends, neighbors, relatives, and have worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for 3 years while getting my education. I can be relied on to walk, feed, medicate, and of course LOVE ON your animals. I am currently a nurse working 3 days a week, but have always loved working with animals. I worked at a dog boarding/daycare facility for 3 years and have gained a lot of experience from it! I am very good at time management and will always follow through with my commitment to you and your animal :) I prefer caring for pets in the owner's home, as I have a couple dogs and would not want to take a chance on them not getting along. I would use a leash for walks unless in an enclosed area or park, would update owner with pictures to ensure trust, would clean up after each pet, and of course offer all the love!

About: Growing up with at least two dogs in my home at any given time, I have gratitude for the joy and companionship pets can bring to a family. I've cared for my senior cat for the past 19 years. She is the love of my life who is now suffering from kidney failure. 😞 While in high school, I spent 4 years in the dog grooming industry. To this day, I am always the first to volunteer to look after pets for my friends and family. I now work at the Western North Carolina Nature Center by day where I train to handle animals during educational programs and support their well-being as "ambassadors" of their species. I have respect and love for all animals! 🩷 I'm also passionate about holistic pet health and cognition, and can accommodate to your pet's special diet protocol or exercise plan. In addition, I have experience giving around-the-clock care for puppies and senior pets and can administer medication when needed. I also offer nail trims and baths for well-behaved pets. Outside of my time spent at the Nature Center, I also work part-time in a hybrid role as an administrative assistant. This allows me the flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I look forward to spending quality time with your best friend! I'm currently working part-time, with ample time off in the afternoons and evenings. I'm available after work around 3pm for walks and drop-ins, and am able to offer potty breaks every 4 hours or so during house sits. My days off from work are Wednesday and Thursday--if you'd like to request a walk or drop-in during an earlier time frame on those days, let me know! 😊 I am a compassionate and detail-oriented pet sitter. I really enjoy spending quality time with my client's pets. I'm happy to spend lots of time outside as needed.

“Enthusiastically recommend Thomas for their exceptional service! Not only is he incredibly communicative and prompt, but he consistently went above and beyond to care for our beloved dog. He kept us updated with thorough reports after each walk, ensuring peace of mind. Our pup adores him. Trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated, Thomas is simply outstanding in every aspect!"”

“Caitlin took great care of my baby and was always a clear communicator! I will definitely be rebooking and would recommend this sitter for your pups.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the past 10 years. Friends, family and friends of clients have trusted me to feed, walk and entertain their pets and homes for weekends and weeks at a time. I genuinely enjoy animals and show them nothing but love and respect. I currently am working part time and have plenty of time to cater to your fur babies needs. I can ensure they are taken outside as needed, play and spend time with them so they aren't so lonely while you're away. I am very clean and respectful of peoples homes and I am ready to meet any and all animals! I prefer to only dog sit at the clients home because I do not have the space to at my own. I visit homes to care for animals and that is it. Meaning, I will not enter spaces that do not pertain to the animal I am looking after. I do this to ensure your privacy. I always lock up as I come and go to ensure the security of your home and most importantly, I will treat your animals as my own!

“Kate is great! Dependable, responsible, treats my baby like her own. I work long hours, and absolutely hate leaving my dog home all day. Mia looks forward to her walks with Kate all week. You will not be disappointed.”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.
