“Victoria is the BEST!!! I've been using her services for the past couple of months. A few months ago, I noticed that my dog often appeared sad, so I reached out to Victoria for visits while I am at work. Victoria goes twice a week to take my dog out while I am at work. She is so good with my dog (who can be a little difficult) and my dog loves her! She is the best and I cannot be thankful enough for her services! :)”


“Cheryl was great! Very caring. Gave my cat lots of love and play time. Followed all my directions which I really appreciated. Upon return, my cat was clearly well taken care of as well as my house. I will definitely be contacting Cheryl in the future!!”

About: I have taken care of many different types of breeds and personalities. From the couch potato to the hyper track star. I will make sure your fur baby is taken care of. I have a certificate in Pet First Aid from the Red Cross. I am currently taking care of pets part time. I am mostly open on the weekends (Friday evenings, all day Saturday, all day Sunday and all day Monday). I have training in being proactive when identifying potential safety issues. I have experience in law enforcement and in pet saftey. I know communication is huge when making you and your fur baby feel safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for around 15 years now. Both my own and my friend dogs. I have been told I can get dogs that don’t like new people to like me and fellow me around I work part time in the evenings and during the day I work for myself so I can make my own free to come and check on your dog whenever is best for you and them. I take time to play and show your dog love. I will check if they have food and fresh water when I come a visit.

About: I have 10 years of professional dog boarding and pet care experience with glowing testimonials from the families I’ve worked with ❤️ I’ve been caring for animals my entire life! My family fostered all manner of animal throughout my childhood and I spent the last 4 years boarding dogs in Cincinnati, OH. Now that I’m back in Asheville (my heart home) I wanted to bring my amazing pet services with me! I have a wonderful set up for both cats and dogs. The indoors are arranged so dogs can move freely throughout the house, lots of doggy beds and multiple kennels that are cleaned between each stay. There is a separate room for the kitties to play and be at home in if they don’t get along with dogs. There is a huge, fenced in outdoor area for puppy free play and they get lots of play and training inside as well. So, even in inclement weather your pups will be active! We do at least 2 walks per day in addition to free access to the large outdoor area. I send photos with updates every morning and evening, and I’m available all hours for check ins at your leisure. I have handled every manner of pet emergency one can imagine, so your babies are in very good hands. I can provide food, treats and other pet care products at your request. If you’re interested in grooming and bathing I’m happy to add those services at no additional cost! I want all the pets I see to leave happier than they arrived, and for all pet owners I serve to know their pets are well cared for and attended to. If you have questions or concerns please reach out to me directly via message. There’s very little we can’t solve together! I do this full time, so all my hours go to your pups! I don’t often leave home, but when I do the pets go into their respective areas (kennels if applicable) and there are puppy cams around the house to make sure they are safe and well. I would never be gone from home for more than 1-2 hours but you can rest assured that I’ll usually be home the entire time. Pets in my home only receive love. I do not scold, and if behavior needs to be prevented I use a firm tone and/or time outs to manage. I do not believe punishing animals helps them learn, and I always use positive reinforcement to correct behavior. This would be something I communicate with you ahead of time, to ensure all the commands and care are consistent with what they get at home. They are allowed on all the furniture unless you inform me they are trained not to, in which case I would abide by their training. I would never, ever leave a pet outside unattended or without access to snacks and toys. The home is a veritable puppy and kitty heaven!

“We recently went on a two week vacation and left our hound dog at home. Tori took all my worries away! I received messages, pictures and videos every single day of her visits with our boy Tucker. Tucker was spoiled to say the least! She treated him like her own. I even ran out of dog food and she ran to the store and picked up more! She fed my fish and watered my plants. The only downfall is that she’s leaving our area soon! If she’s in your area and you’re looking for a pet sitter I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.”



“Leilani was a super good communicator. It was clear from the photos she sent that my dogs were having a great time with her. She was thoughtful and attentive with them. Can’t wait to have her come back!”

Miranda D.

During her time here, she provided exceptional care, ensuring that my fur baby received plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which made me feel connected and reassured that she was in great hands. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It's evident that she treats her clients' pets as if they were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”
