About: Experienced dog lover providing safe, personalized care full of play, love, and peace of mind. I treat your pup like family—because that’s exactly what they are. Happy dogs, Relieved parents. Trusted care. I work from home, so your pup gets all-day play, belly rubs, and love. From morning zoomies to afternoon naps, they’re part of my routine—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My home is your dog’s play-and-snuggle paradise! Either toys, walks, and comfy spots to nap, I make sure every stay is fun, safe, and full of love—so they can’t wait to come back.

About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, and much more animals my entire life. I love taking care of animals and have done it for friends and family for years. I’m very active and love walks and runs! I have 3 animals of my own including 2 dogs and a cat. I have taken care of baby, Senior, adult, healthy, and sick animals. I’m an animal lover and love meeting new people and animals. I have a lot of knowledge with animals for the simple fact that I have been around 100’s my entire life, from saving strays to having pets. I live in Weaverville and would love to help out with taking care of your pet or pets! I work all day but could be flexible. Im a personal trainer, my hours are 4am-2/3pm. I am available with at least a week notice. I can help on M-F and weekends with drop ins and walks. I have a yard as well as 2 friendly playful dogs. I have crates as well as separated floors that are gated off in my home that always help.

“This is my 2nd review - both 5 stars! Jose & Maria take such good care of my precious Clementine. They listen & follow through with instructions, communicate quickly & genuinely care about my pup. Clementine has done both doggy daycare & boarding, both experiences have gone really well :)”

“Daniella was able to take my rowdy pup super last minute for daycare and he had a great time playing with her dog. He was all tuckered out after I picked him up and she sent me a bunch of photos which I really appreciated. She has a nice fenced in yard and is a very sweet person.”

Serena B.

“What good fortune to find Miranda’s doggie daycare service, especially considering the convenient location and tidy fenced yard. Miranda is a highly competent and kind-hearted pet caregiver who was able to accommodate a last-minute request for a senior pup recovering from eye surgery. She followed our care regime to a T and also used excellent judgement when faced with unplanned situations. Her communication skills are excellent. We could not asked for better care for our sweet senior, and hope to visit her again.”

“I had to drop Jasper off pretty early in the morning and Lorna was very accommodating. I've used her before and will continue to use her in the future.”

Melanie S.

“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”

Mariah S.

“Trusting someone with your fur babies can be hard, but Samantha made it easy! She sent plenty of pictures and videos to update me while my two beagles stayed with her.”

Serena B.

“It was good having someone so close to where I’m staying. I completely trusted her with my girl Zoe. I only had to leave Zoe for 3 to 4 hours when I was working and it completely slipped my mind at rest. I highly recommend Vicki and will absolutely use her when I can again”

Liz S.

“Nate is super friendly and reassured me Tama would have a good time with the other dogs in the home. He played so hard he was fighting sleep on the drive home. Thanks for taking care of him today!”

About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.

About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have community activities out but they do not dominate my day. I spend my time focused on creativity (working on art and music projects) at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am very active and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, I am here most of the time. My husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). If boarding in my home, I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.

“We were in the area for sightseeing. Kristin was welcoming and seemed to be aware of how to treat the different sizes of dog that she was watching. I can not speak on Stellas behalf, except I Heard no complaining. Thanks for watching Stella for us so that we can enjoy our sightseeing.”

About: I have been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, and birds. When I moved to the U.S, I lived in the country side with many dogs and thousand of birds (literally). Now, I have a little Chihuahua mix; he is like my baby. I also help my friends sitting their dogs when they are out of town. I love animals; I like to play with them and give them a lot of attention. I have experience administering medication to pets either orally or injectable . I am educated and trustful person who will respect your home and your pets. I am able to pass a background check if it is required. I have a cellphone and my own car. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. Our jobs are very flexible, which means we can take your dog for walks during the day. I have a very friendly old Chihuahua. My house is big, comfy and very clean. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there's no traffic.

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.
