Dog Walkers in Avery Creek, NC

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic with Lula! Lula clearly had a great time with her. Had a great walk, play time and just spent time with her. From the moment she stepped into my apartment, Lula instantly took to her. I also have two cats who warned right up to her as well. Would never be able to recommend her enough to anyone who needs a pet sitter/walker.”

“SO RESPONSIBLE AND DEPENDABLE! When we leave our pets we are depending on walkers and sitters to be there for us and our pet….McKenzie covers all the bases. She came over to get the lay of the land and asked the right questions. Look no farther for a fantastic walker and great communicator!”

“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”

About: Hi there, I'm Adaira! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I provide care as if they were my own. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your beloved furry (or feathered) family member is receiving loving, attentive care while you're away. That’s why I offer: - Reliability and communication, with regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing - Compassionate care tailored to your dog or cat's needs - Experience with all ages and sizes, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing a gentler touch - Flexible services, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care - Farm sits and backyard chicken experience Your pets deserve the best care, and my goal is to give them comfort, love, and a happy routine while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pet family! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so I am able to work around your pet's needs and routine to provide attentive care, day or night. My house is home to two mild-mannered senior dogs, 2 aloof cats, and one firecracker rabbit. I have a large, one-acre yard with plenty of room to explore and nearby hiking trails to stretch those legs! My dogs are happy to keep yours company, or I can provide separate spaces for animals that are shy or reactive. I am happy to abide by any crate training your dog is accustomed to and can provide my own crate for your pet's use, as needed.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, but especially since I got my own cat around seven years ago. I'm deeply passionate about animals and animal care, and absolutely adore being around pets of all shapes and sizes!!

I'm currently between jobs otherwise, so I'm happy to be wherever, whenever! I'm happy to fit absolutely anyone into my schedule, whether on short notice or in advance. I follow instructions very dutifully and will attend to your pet exactly how you instruct me to. I love to take pictures and videos, so you'll get plenty of content of your fur baby while I'm caring for them!! I prioritize their safety above all else.

“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”

“Best dog walker I’ve ever used from rover. So detail oriented but also so intuitive to my dogs needs. Also so patient- could not recommend more highly!”

“Jennie is the best dog walker/caretaker you could ever ask for! She’s been great with my Nessa, who can be leash reactive. She helped me train her, has been patient beyond belief, and has always left me detailed information about her walks. More than that, she is an all around stellar person. Would give her 6 stars if I could!”

Laura C.

“Chloé is amazing! She is reliable and sends lots of photos of my pup! She not only walks my doggie but also spends time with him. Thank you Chloé!”

About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting and 10 months as a foster caregiver.I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail. For some of are couch potato friends, we have a nice spacious apartment with pet approved couch to lay on and just enjoy a relaxing, quite place! As for my furry friends that ill be sitting for at there place, I like to give them plenty of play time in there space and yards. Along with nice long walks through the neighborhood! Attention to detail, and love is what I thrive for when taking care of your pet!

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.

“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: My experience comes from an educational, professional, AND personal background! 🐾 But first, let’s talk about what pertains to YOU! For all pets, here’s what you can expect in a visit: - 30 min drop in with regular rate (charges for extra time noted below) - I will fill that time however you’d like. Walks, playtime, enrichment, quality time, meals, scooping litter boxes etc. I am willing to spend that time doing what’s best for your furry family member. - Pictures of course! Even if you have a feline friend that’s shy & hides, I’ll do my best to still send you a picture of what was accomplished during my visit. — If you have multiple dogs, please book extra time if you’d like them all to receive equal amounts of exercise and attention. All dogs over 50 lbs I will require to walk separately (i.e. If you’d like your two large dogs to be walked 30 minutes, please book me for 60) Here’s what I’m comfortable with and have experience in: — Dogs & cats of all ages — Multi pet households (albeit, any major aggression issues among multi dog households must be clearly laid out and agreed upon before visit) — Feeding food of all kinds (kibble to raw!) — Keeping within your household training and structure. For dogs that use tools for walking, I am happy to keep with those. — Administering oral medication with dogs & cats — Administering injectable or topical medication for dogs & cats on a case by case basis With all pets, I require in person instruction for anything beyond basic care. I ENCOURAGE an in person meet and greet before any care (can be day of). For ALL visits, expect lots of pictures and communication 📸 Now… more about me! In undergrad, I majored in Wildlife Biology. Now, I’ve been working for an exotic cat rescue nonprofit for the past 3+ years. Currently, I’m working remotely and will be going to law school in the fall! For what? Animal law of course! My personal pets include my cats, Fosse & Fizz, and Ziggy my corgi. I work from home! Because of my flexible set-up & schedule, I can be very flexible for your pet, too. My calendar will remain up to date, so check there for my most updated availability! Attention to detail, cleanliness, and safety are my top priorities. I do things by your rules, but will ask how to keep those 3 pillars top of mind. When coming to your home, I will be a respectful guest— prioritizing the needs of your furry family member. Don’t be surprised if I ask you lots of questions! That’s my way of ensuring I’m doing exactly what you and your pet need.

“Cassandra was great. I can tell that she really loves pets. My dog Shiloh loved her!”

I’ve also volunteered at the Asheville humane society making food and walking/playing with the animals. I dog and cat sit in my neighborhood getting some regular pups and cats I sit for. I work part time at a restaurant but outside of my shifts there I have a lot of free time to care for your animals. I am very respectful when coming into a clients home. I want the pets to be comfortable with me and I go only where I’m needed in the house. I will play with your pet in your yard and/or take them on a walk.

Size does not scare me and I am fine with multiple pet households. I work part time as well as go to college. This bookings not only fuel my love with animals but help to support my college. I prioritize safety of the pets. Making sure to check the owners instructions before entering and leaving the home. I also prioritize communication with the owner.

About: Caring, loving, responsible, punctual, trustworthy pet/house sitter and dog walker servicing the Fletcher, Arden, Asheville, Hendersonville, Etowah, and Flat Rock areas. I had dogs and cats in my home growing up and into my adult years. I have 4 years of experience as a pet/house sitter in USA and abroad with great reviews. I can help with dog walking and pet/house sitting, including staying in the home with your pet(s), feeding, walking dogs, caring for and giving love in your absence. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love to incorporate time with pets into my weekly routine by being given the opportunity to care for, feed, walk dogs, playing, and giving love to furry friends.

About: Welcome to my profile! I just moved here from Chicago to start graduate school. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have two pets of my own, a pup that never slows down and a cat with a lot of personality. My parents have four cats and a dog, so I'm constantly around furry friends and well-versed in different temperaments and routines. I also have 12 years of experience caring for pets belonging to family and friends, so I understand the importance of finding someone you trust. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work around your pet's needs! I take mostly evening and night classes, which means I'm available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting while you're at work. I'm also available on weekends, as long as I'm notified before the weekend begins. I just ask for at least two days' notice so I can make sure I give your pet the time and attention they deserve! Your pet's safety and trust mean everything to me. Since I'm unable to host animals in my own home, I will be caring for your pet in their familiar environment to help reduce stress and maintain their routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect and take pride in being reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I am more than happy to provide updates and pictures throughout each visit. The only thing I ask is that you communicate openly with me about your pets' behaviors and stressors so I can care for them appropriately.
