Dog Sitting Barnardsville

About: I have 4 years of professional animal care experience, and have grown up around dogs and cats. I’ve provided care for dogs, cats and reptiles. I’m comfortable working with animals with special needs. I currently work full-time on week days from 8-4. If you live within 10 minutes of West Asheville I am able to provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours. If you live further out, I can provide breaks every 8 hours. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and I have no pets of my own, so all of my attention can be on your fur babies!! I can’t currently offer boarding in my home as my roommate has a dog, but I am happy to come to your house. If needed, I can provide plant care during my stay, and will ensure you come home to a clean house and happy animals.

“Knows exactly how to make friends with cats. Had them rubbing up on her and getting pets right away. Also knows cat routines and what to expect. Highly recommended.”

“This is 3rd booking with Alexis for the care of two outdoor kitties. I am not sure what special kitty magic Alexis possesses, but our very shy and nervous kitty, Jigsaw, is getting more comfortable with her. Alexis communicates well, and of course the pictures of Jigsaw are appreciated much! Not to leave Casper out, I love those too!”

About: Pets have been part of my caregiving life for decades. Through years of in-home care for elderly and ill clients, I’ve walked, fed, and loved countless dogs and cats — including seniors and pets needing medication. I treat every animal with the same patience and attention I give people. As a retired caregiver, I have a flexible, open schedule and can give your pet consistent, reliable attention. I’m generally available most days and will work with you to find timing that aligns with your travel plans. I specialize in both short and longer-term overnight house and pet sitting. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d give my own. With years of experience managing households, I follow your pet’s routines, administer medications if needed, and keep everything safe, clean, and calm. Your home will be just as you left it, your pet even happier.

“Jeni is phenomenal to work with. The boys love her and she really makes being away so easy. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I am a 34 year old part-time fitness professional looking to supplement my income with two things I love; walking and hanging out with dogs :) I completed an internship at Asheville Humane Society doing community outreach in the summer of 2020 so I gained a lot of knowledge pertaining to dog handling and behavior. I am very active and spend most of my free time doing activities like walking while listening to podcasts/audiobooks anyway, so having a dog with me makes it that much better. I’m currently working part-time from home from around 8:00 to 10:00 so I have plenty of time to spend with animals. Even while working, I can break away and step outside or do any other necessary tasks. There is a gap in my services and reviews after 2022 because I took some time to focus fully on my personal training career, but have recently decided to pivot again back to dogsitting and taking a break from my business. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I’m currently working about 10 hours a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I walk outside a lot and spend plenty of time working from my computer as well so will be at the house a lot but also actively taking them outside when I need to take a break from computer work. I do not offer in home stays but at your house: I follow instructions accurately and make sure to stay on a consistent routine so that nothing important gets missed. Like I said, I’ll be around a lot so they will receive plenty of attention!

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience! I've always had pets in my life, and believe spending time with them is therapeutic. I’ve had many dogs (large and small), including very energetic border collies, as well as lap dogs and cats. I've also had pet rabbits, hamsters, chameleons, fish and tree frogs, and I've even rescued 6 squirrels. I have several years of experience dog-sitting, including over-nights for several weeks with multiple large dogs at a time. I love nature, hiking and running and would love to take your dog with me to explore the outdoors! I will give your pet lots of love and affection and treat them like my own! If your pet has any special needs, please let me know. I am very trustworthy, reliable, responsible and communicative. I earned my bachelor's degree in both Art Education and Psychology. I'm a former teacher, nanny and Behavioral Health Technician. Currently I'm a self-employed professional watercolor artist. When you book with me, you are also supporting a working artist. NOTE: * I charge $30 for Meet and Greets to cover my time and travel. * If the rates listed on my profile don't work for you, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate your budget. * I have a sweet border collie named Morris who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is a social, submissive, energetic, and playful pup. He has loved every dog and person he's ever met and has never shown any signs of aggression. For the safety and comfort of your dog and mine, I only accept friendly, well-socialized dogs. I’m a self-employed artist who is at home full-time with a very flexible schedule. I will try my best to work with your schedule. I welcome last-minute bookings and cancellations. I am very trustworthy, reliable, responsible and communicative.

“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”

“Isabel was super sweet to my kitties and went above and beyond to help them stay comfortable while we were out of town. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again soon! :)”

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.

About: I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a fun walk, a midday potty break, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, cuddles, and fresh water, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. From energetic puppies who love adventure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to their needs. You'll receive plenty of photos and detailed updates after every visit, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, dependable hands. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, creating a positive experience that keeps tails wagging and owners smiling. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and I look forward to becoming your pet's trusted companion whenever you can't be there. Pets are your family and I promise to care for your fur-baby with as much love as I would my own 🥰 I have three cats of my own, have had pets my whole life and I’ve worked as a vet assistant. I am able to provide cat care in all areas of Asheville! I have an extremely flexible work schedule and have the freedom to take breaks throughout the day to stop and check on/stay with your pet(s). Your pets safety is my number one concern! I will make sure to follow your instructions exactly and take extra precaution when entering and leaving your home.

About: I've grown up around big dogs my whole life and love all pets more than anything. I believe every pet should feel loved and happy with the humans they around no matter how old, or young, they may be. With a very open schedule, I am happy to commit however long or short needed for your special companion! I am looking to find many jobs throughout my last semester at UNCA. I plan to schedule my days around walks or sittings I may have booked since I only have a few classes. I miss being around my dogs at home so helping care for your pets brings me joy! I respect the client and pets' space- no questions asked. Never hesitate to give me lists and lists of expectations, or just tell me to have fun! Whatever you need done will be accomplished!

“Thanks so much for taking care of these pups!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always been a big pet lover and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I understand every pet is unique and has their own personalities and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends since I was a teenager! I am easy to work with and very responsible, I’m here for whatever you need! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of extra time on my hands! My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust to your needs! I can watch your pet in their own familiar environment to hopefully keep them from having the fear and anxiety of being in a new home, I’ll try to keep your usual routine! I will show them lots of love while engaging them in whatever playful activities they prefer!

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life and been watching animals since I was 15. I know CPR and first aid for humans along with animals. I also have experience working at rescue shelters and humane societies. Spending time with your animals gives me the ability to de-strees while I can't have animals of my own, because of wanting to travel. I love animals like they are my own kids (if I had any) I give the best to them and think of their needs before even mine. I love their kisses and happy faces! I love finding their favorite places that they love scratches! I often times can be found even cussing on the floor with pets 😂Most of all I will shower your animals with kisses, walks and love! I am currently working part time and I have a flexible schedule making it easy for me to stop by randomly or stay long term as well as to not rush and spend quality time with your pets! When in my clients homes, I treat their animals and homes with respect and always leave them just as I found them. I respect what the client has as their animals schedule whether it’s cuddles, crate training, walks and feeding schedule.

“So grateful we were able to have William take care of our sweet pup. We came into town last minute and he was super flexible and easy to work with!”

About: I've taken care of just about every animal since I was born. Especially cats and dogs but I've also taken care of reptiles, fish, chickens, rats, gerbils, hamsters, and even bugs. I've handled difficult dog breeds including pitbulls and preydriven rottweilers in a cat home. I am also not shy to pee or poop or any sick pets as I've been in and out of the vets offices as well. Im looking to possibly make this full time. So I am available just about whenever you need me to be there. This includes weekends as well. I am very pet friendly and enjoy being interactive no matter the species. Whether it's letting the crickets run so the bearded dragon can get some exercise or walking the puppy around the yard.
