Pet Sitting Biltmore Forest

“Alema had great communication, was timely, took lots of photos, brought sanitized and clean, enrichment toys for my kitty to play with with her and checked that my kitty's feeder and fountain were working properly and had enough food and water. Would love to have her as a sitter again.”

Becky W.

“Easy communication and took care of my baby like her own. Nikki was very well rested.”

“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”

About: I'm no stranger to high-need dogs! I had a Chihuahua who, bless his heart, was a mess. He was no more than 6lbs, and had heart, dental, and bone issues. He always rated my service to him highly, and he taught me a lot for which I'm grateful. In his memory, and to keep our other senior dog, Buddy, company, we adopted a chocolate labrador named Roxanne, who is blind. Pets like me because I am empathetic and caring. I understand why they might be acting the way that they act, that most of the time, it's just fear, and with that knowledge, I am able to approach the situation with confidence and tact. Or maybe they're just super excitable! I am a calming presence who knows how to party when the occassion's right. I work part-time and study, which gives me a lot of freedom for extracurriculars (pet sitting!). I am completely free on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your house, your rules! I will follow all of your normal houseguest rules while also making your pet feel like they're the ones writing my checks. Safe, comfortable medication adminstration? Done. Clean up inside or outside the house? Done. Stain clean up before it sets? Absolutely. I will go the extra mile to make it seem like time froze while you were gone.

“Susan is WONDERFUL! Our cat loves her, she’s communicative, always arrives on time, and does little things around the house she doesn’t have to do, like checking the mail or sweeping the floor around the litter box—without being asked. We will always book with Susan when she’s available during our trips.”

“Jessie is amazing, and treats your dog like his own. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. My Lola is always excited to see him for drop ins !”

“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”

“Denene was spectacular! Our old lady, Sophie, loved her, too. She spent most of the visits on Denene's lap. Her communication and attention to the details were excellent. I will most certainly book Denene in the future.”

Gail R.

“Eli was great with my dog. She also sent some nice pictures even with them moving around too much.”

Jean R.

“Tobias was very attentive and made sure my dog had all of his needs taken care of during his drop in visits over the weekend. He was also very informative during his visits. My dog is 14 years old and he also did a great job administering all of his meds. I definitely recommend Tobias!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience walking, sitting and caring for dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur child in the hands of a stranger and I treat every animal as if it were my own. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands and receiving all the love, care, and attention they deserve. I also work from home so I give lots of attention and pets throughout the day to your pups. I grew on a small farm and have a natural ability to understand animals. I have trained my own dog and assisted in training a boarder collie puppy my parents owned. I feel comfortable sitting/walking dogs of various sizes and breeds. I've also had a cat growing up and have taken care of neighbors cats for extended periods of time. I live a healthy and active style and would love to take your dog on hikes or runs around the area while you are away. If they are more of a couch potato I am also happy to snuggle up on the couch with them equally. I work remote so would be available on weekdays to take our pet out frequently. I am free on weekends to spend all of my time with them as well! I don't have a yard but am close to many outdoor places and live an active lifestyle. My home is comfortable and safe for pets.

About: Animals have always brought a sense of peace and joy into my life, and I genuinely love every opportunity to care for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing with their favorite toy, relaxing on the couch for cuddles, or spending time at the dog park, I enjoy making pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Animals have such a special ability to brighten someone’s day, and I love being able to give that same comfort and care back to them. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets over the years. Growing up, I had 4 Yorkies and as an adult, I also cared for two American Bulldogs, one of whom suffered from severe allergies, so I understand how important it is to be attentive to food sensitivities, environmental triggers, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid medications, pill poppers, and oral syringes. My cat Willow, was a sweetheart and required both pill and liquid medications, which gave me even more hands-on experience with patient, gentle care. I know how hard it can be finding someone you trust to take care of your sweet furry babies. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to create a safe, comforting, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.

“Jessica was amazing with our fur baby, Mathilde. Jessica was very attentive to Mathilde’s needs. She clearly loves cats , and we trust her completely to take care of ours.🙏🏾”

“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”

“Thomas was AWESOME with my cat!!! Cypress warmed up quicker to Thomas than any other sitter I’ve had. Like most cats, sometimes Cypress wants love and sometimes to play. Thomas let Cypress set the tone for the visit; which tells me Thomas knows not to force anything and understands cat behavior very well. Thomas sent lots of photos and very detailed notes! Thankfully, I came home to a happy (and not anxious) cat!!”

About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I have an Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, intelligent dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment! I’m an Occupational Therapist and have spent years working in healthcare, so being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsible is a huge part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. I’m very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a quick potty break to a long walk for dogs who need to burn some energy. I also offer drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, and plenty of attention and cuddles for pets who prefer a more relaxed visit. As a dog owner who has used pet sitters myself, I know how much peace of mind updates can provide. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog wants to walk three miles, play fetch until my arm falls off, or just have someone hang out with them on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 One thing you can count on: I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)
