About: I specialize in high energy breeds and also cats. Extensive experience with rescue cats. Currently the proud owner of an Australian shepherd and two rescue cats. I love animals and enjoy caring for them. All boarding dogs can access Sniffspot private parks with my account. All boarding dogs go back home bathed (free of charge) unless pet parent doesn't want this service. Working part time and trying to establish a full time pet care routine. I am looking to shift away from corporate work and into this field. I have two American short hair cats (both are neutered/ spayed) and one puppy. I take the puppy to sniff spots and the dog park daily. Upon request we can walk through the Montford Historic district instead of dog parks if preferred.
“Katie was exceptional. She showed up on time, she was pleasant, she treated my dog like her own, and went above and beyond on the walks. We are so happy with her attention to detail and care.”
“Grace is an absolute godsend! She was able to swing by last minute and sent me lots of pictures ? Goose and I both can’t wait to have her for more walks in the future”
About: For the last 4 years that I’ve lived in North Carolina I have been dog sitting for my parents coworkers and any people that have asked. I’ve owned and been around cats since I was a baby. I love going on walks and appreciate being able to take an animal with me. I’m taking the summers mostly off since I work a lot during the school year. In the summers I go on walks one to two times a day. I’m very careful with making sure that there are no possible choking hazards on the ground that a pet could possible eat and I keep any tripping hazards off the ground. We also have a small fenced in backyard so I can keep a close eye on any possible pets.
“Joa was so helpful for a very last minute walk for my dogs. Thank you so much and I’ll def be returning to you :)”
“Lilac is the absolute best. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for help with their animals. Lilac is incredibly kind, punctual, and great with keeping you updated!”
“My dog is usually timid when she initially meets people, but not with Madison! My dog was instantly comfortable around her. Madison has a calm & kind energy, communicates great, and is reliable! Thanks Madison!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.
“Brody was amazing! My dogs are determined to attack everyone they meet with love and it can definitely be intimidating lol. Love my babies but they’re extra. Brody embraced their love and all their energy and they took to him right away! He was very communicative with me while we were out of town and he did a great job keeping up with my puppy’s medication schedule. She looked so much better when I got back. He was able to control my larger and super strong dog. Brody even went above and beyond and stayed a little longer with them. I felt at peace knowing he had them covered while we were away. Will def book him again!”
About: I love all kinds of dogs, I have had 7 in my home over my lifetime! I have cared for neighbors and other families dogs for many years and feel comfortable providing a safe environment for your pup! I am currently in my 1st year of Grad School at IU studying to be a professional opera singer. My schedule is very open as my class schedule is light this semester. I would love to take care of your pets and can easily find a time for a meet and greet before booking. I may even give your dog a private concert! :) I ensure that each pet In my home is supervised and on a leash while outside and that they are comfortable and safe while in my home!
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember! Always the first to volunteer to dog, cat, chicken, bunny, guinea pig, and fish sit :) I currently have a somewhat flexible schedule with the ability to have some play time with new furry friends during lunch & on the weekends! I treat and love any and every animal as if it were my own! I pay great attention to details and would always ensure that your furry friend be safe!
“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”
“A great choice for a pet sitter/walker -- Rebecca is an animal-lover and you can tell that as soon as you meet her. There are many people out there who want to make money, but don't really like dogs that much. She is not one of them. Really appreciated how quickly she responded and how enthusiastic she was about walking my Labrador. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Erika walked my dog, Rico, twice a day for a week while I was out of town. She was really good about letting me know when she walked Rico and sent a photo every day. As most dog lovers, I am always looking for someone who I can trust with Rico and I could tell he was very happy when I returned! We will definitely hire her again!”
About: My name is Chelsea and I am a huge dog lover! I have a spoiled dog of my own who brings so much joy to my life! However, there is always room for more! I love all dogs of all sizes and breeds. I will run with your dog, take them on hikes, or long trails if they tend to have more energy. I will also snuggle and teach new tricks to those how tend to have less energy. I can send picture updates throughout my time with your dog. If there are certain manners or tricks you would like me to work on, I can definitely do that as well! I feel that dogs are such a gift and we are lucky to get to spend time with them!
About: As a pet parent of both 2 dogs and a cat myself, I understand the level of care and affection your pet(s) deserve. I also understand how hard it can be to leave them behind, and to also need the reassurance that they will not only be kept safe, but also enjoy their time. From growing up with dogs and cats to now having my own, I can assure you that I am capable of proving top quality care and FUN while you are away. I have had neighbors, various family members, and clients rely on me to provide top quality care to their pets while they have been away, from providing medication to exercising and bathing. I’d love to meet and talk through all your expectations + daily life with your pets, so I can best understand how to care for them while in my care. I am currently taking a break from my professional career to pursue something more personally fulfilling- this means I’m pretty available, 24/7 most days of the year. If looking to have your dog stay with me, my husband and I live on a 2acre piece of land with lots of running space for your dog(s). If off-leash play isn’t an option, we have a fenced in dog park near by that we also frequent. For daily walks, we go up and down our gravel mountain road. Lots of fun smells!! My dog is a fantastic playmate, non-aggressive and professionally trained (and neutered!!). If looking for me to do drop-in visits with your dog or cat, I’ll happily abide to their usual schedule at your home. I have experience with training large dogs, and would be happy to help enforce and commands used in your home while I’m with any of your pets. Please let me know ahead of any special requirements for care or any verbal commands used in the home.
About: Hello, I have taken care of animals since I was a small child. I was raised on a pony farm where we frequently fostered other animals including dogs, cats, donkeys and goats. Now as an adult I have a little homestead where I have 1 rescue dog, one retired therapy dog, many chickens, ducks, and 4 rehomed goats as well as a senior cockatoo. It's a wonderful environment with fenced areas for all of the animals, but the dogs get the run of the house and fenced yard. I am a stay at home mom with part time work as a graphic designer. In addition, I make sourdough bread and preserves for weekend farmer markets. I am usually never gone from the house for more than four hours at a time. For exercise I take one or two of the dogs for walks up and down my country road. It's a dead end street so there is not a lot of cars going by. I have a fenced backyard and sideyard with several areas that are off limits to the dogs, this helps keep the other animals safe, but also cuts down on any temptation for the dogs to get too curious with the other animals. My two dogs are playful and usually would keep the other dog engaged and entertained. Since I am home all day, the animals and I seem to travel in one pack no matter where it is.
About: I have had animals in my life since I was born. Currently have a horse, a pony, two goats, three cats, and two dogs living on my property/in my house. I love them all dearly. They are quite literally my children, so I understand the importance of high quality care for your pets. I work full-time from home and usually have lots of free time as my job isn’t incredibly demanding. I usually leave for a few hours in the evening after work to go ride my horse, but other than that I am quite open. I live on 4 1/2 acres. I have a very small fenced in backyard, but I usually walk my dogs 2-3x a day instead of just putting them out there. I do not live on a busy road.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks, mini horses, and loads of other animals so I am experienced in animal care! I currently have dogs and cats! I want to help other animal owners because I know how helpful pet sitting is for me! I am currently unemployed looking for animal care jobs throughout the week and weekend. I am very flexible. I’m working on getting my associates degree and I have classes Tuesday/Thursday. I know how much my pets mean to me and I want to maintain a safe and friendly environment for all the pets I will be caring for. I am a very clear communicator and I work best knowing what each individual pet needs!

If ever I'm in Asheville again I will definitely use Allison again!!”
