About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up working on farms and had a grandfather as a veterinarian where I would help care for cats and dogs. Throughout high school and college I worked at horse stables, kennels and other veterinary hospitals as a vet technician as well as volunteered at local animal shelters. I am capable of administering medications and efficient at reading dog and cat behavior as well. I own a lab mix and cat of my own who I have efficiently trained. I also look after many neighbor’s dogs and cats. I am also a long distance runner and like to stay active so I am perfectly fine going on long or short distance walks and exploring new areas here in the mountains. With my extensive experience and knowledge growing up surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes and working as a vet tech I feel like I would be a perfect sitter for your fur baby! I have availability on Mondays anytime and can be flexible throughout the week and weekend. I also have a car and do not mind commuting to the surrounding areas of Hendersonville. I have availability during the day as I tend to be up early in the morning and stay up late. I have a very wide open yard that my pup as well as my boyfriend’s dog love to run around and play in. I am comfortable crating dogs if needed and I take both dogs on long walks as well to keep them active and healthy but also have comfortable lazy days lounging inside if the weather isn’t decent.

“Amanda has been amazing! Walking and playing with my fur baby! Will be using her again and again! Star can wait for her next visit with Amanda”

About: HOWDY! I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years and have extra experience with large dog breeds and senior dogs. I recently lost my 11year old Rottweiler, Archer, and would love to utilize my knowledge and unspent doggy love to care for your pets! My availability is weekdays from 8am-5 pm, perfect for those working a regular schedule. I have no time limits as long as I can fit my visit in with others. I also have a dog hammock in my car if you want me to take your dog to a specific trail or don't have a good walking area near your residence. Allowing someone access to your home and pet takes a large amount of trust and I honor that! What is most important to me is that the owners instructions and preferences will be followed exactly. I practice extreme caution and safety especially in public spaces with other dogs. Because every dog is different, I will ask you many questions on what your priorities are for my visit with your dog. I might even have suggestions if you are struggling with something specific.

“Christine has been the biggest help taking care of my pup while I’m away at work. I feel so much better knowing that he gets out for a walk with her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring!”

About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and take genuine joy in meeting each one. With years of personal experience caring for multiple pets, I enjoy learning their individual personalities, routines, and quirks so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of different ages and temperaments. I focus on making each animal feel safe, understood, and at ease; I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work part time restoring homes, which gives me a flexible, self-directed schedule. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to plan my work around each client’s needs to ensure consistent care, attention, and reliability. Being self-employed allows me to adjust my availability, accommodate routines, and spend quality time with each pet. I’m looking to fill my spare time with something uplifting and rewarding, and caring for animals is both personally fulfilling and a priority I can fully commit to. I focus on each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while in their home by maintaining a calm, consistent environment and following all care instructions closely. I respect the client’s space and ensure doors, gates, and potential hazards are secure at all times. I provide attentive supervision during visits and keep pets engaged with appropriate play, feeding, and rest based on their needs. I’m also happy to provide frequent check-ins with photos and updates on mealtimes, playtime, and naps. If there are any additional requests or special instructions, I’m glad to accommodate them to ensure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident.

“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”

I’ve always felt a special connection with animals since I got my first dog at 4 years old and wish to spread that connection to all I currently have a full time job M-F, I am available for check in before, during, and after work as well as more long term care on the weekends! I am flexible in what times I can stop by I assure to stick to the pets specific schedule, i am able to crate a pet if necessary and administer any specific request from the owners. I personally have a dog with health issues and anxiety and understand the importance of consistency and fulfilling the needs of each specific fur baby.

“Thank you so much!!!”

About: My name is Emily and I recently just moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina. I was a full-time dog & cat sitter while in school at Texas State University in Austin, Texas. I also was a farm manager before I had my daughter. We moved to North Carolina for my husband's job & to be closed to family. I have experience with training dogs, caring for livestock, & more. I love animals & hope to have a farm of my own someday. I'm currently working part-time at the student farm! I'll have plenty of time to care for the pups and kitties. 😸🐕. We'll have fun, haha! What the owners wants / request always comes first, even if it's just backyard play. I treat all animals if they were my own. Haha.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and I love being a pet parent. I enjoy fostering needy animals, especially seniors. I also work at the Humane Society and I am pursuing my degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work part time at the Asheville Humane Society. Working part time allows me plenty of time to drop in and care for your babies. I have experience working with animals and will show them all the love and affection as if they were my own babies. I will help them feel comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience working with all different types of animals and I love to help them come out of their shell.

About: I've always had an affinity for animals and an easy time winning their trust. They have amazing instincts! My daughter is involved with animal rescue and is cheering me on. Through her and from sitting for friends, I have experience with dogs and cats of varying breeds, backgrounds and behavioral traits. I am often called upon when my friends need a sitter so figured I may as well go rover with it. Hi folks. I am currently in Spain working as a language assistant and am looking for a housesitting arrangement in the Asheville/Hendersonville area for this summer. I will only charge a fee if there is a pet involved. Otherwise, I think it is a fair exchange. The website forces me to charge at least $15 but we can work around that. Please let me know if you think I may be a good fit for you. I am unable to offer the service of caring for pets in my own home as I am in a transitional period and only available for the summer. I greatly value your home, pets and your trust and behave accordingly.

“Very prompt and flexible with scheduling/communication. Detailed information about each walk experience. Great addition to Nova's care team.”
