“I trust Gabriel with Molly because he is kind, considerate, and really pays attention to her. She likes his dog, Kira, so that's also a bonus. I love it when he is available to take her!!”

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.

“Nate was great with Enoch! He has a nice fenced in yard with plenty of space to play. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter. Nate kept Enoch for a few days overnight and I could tell from the beginning Nate is great with dogs:) I will definitely get back to Nate when have to get a sitter again:) Thanks Nate!”

About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.

“Our pupper had a great stay!! Gouda was a great fur buddy to play with. Marnie and Dave sent frequent updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Their backyard is very large and fenced in. Truly a haven for dogs. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks guys!”

“Ryan gave excellent care to my senior dog and rambunctious young one while I was away for a week! She kept in touch and sent pictures frequently. I highly recommend this sitter!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I also worked in a dog kennel in college. Love being around animals as much as I can! I work a full time job so I primarily would have more time on weekends but I can make mid day trips home for potty breaks! I let animals roam around my home so they can feel comfortable. I have a large dog bed and food bowls already here along with a few toys and treats!

“I would definitely leave my pup with Ashley again, in fact, I'm so glad I have someone I can count on to take care of my dog when needed. Asha was a bit reluctant to be in a new space with new people (as she always is), but Ashley went above and beyond to help Asha feel safe and comfortable. Thank you, Ashley!”

“Adaira is incredible! She is calm and open. We were prepared to meet their other two dogs and Koda then joined the pack for 10 days! We quickly built trust and understanding. She even gave him some flair on Halloween and did a photo shoot 🎃 I truly cannot recommend her services enough. Koda got to go on plenty of adventures. I am so grateful! He loves her much. He made sure to say goodbye before he hopped in the car. Being such a smart dog, I can tell how much rapport they built.”

“Kazoo had a great time staying with Alexandra. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and made sure to follow any instructions sent. Would recommend!”

About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up with 5 cats. I'd visit my grandparents farm over the summer and fell in love with the bunnies. But my biggest love is dogs. I've cared for my high energy dog for the past 13 years and am patient with shy and skittish dogs and love going for walks with furry friends in all weather. I'm an avid hiker and runner (just did a marathon in June) and can keep your high energy dog busy. I'm a former lawyer, reliable and professional. I'm generally available in the daytime and early afternoon, but happy to accommodate existing clients going out of town. I'm experienced with different breed dogs from beagles to Golden retrievers. I've taken training classes with my dog and understand some practical tips for getting dogs to feel comfortable and safe. Also, I have experience administering medications to dogs.

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.

“Jen was a great host to our pup, Rocky! She kept us updated with how he was doing each day as well as sent daily pictures. I would definitely recommend Jen as a host: great communication, positive attitude, flexible schedule (ended up having to add an extra day) and reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed!”

“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was little and I've watched a few dogs in Asheville and taken them on walks and we always have a great time. I'm a musician, so I'm home full time and i have a flexible schedule and plenty of space to play with and walk a dog. My home is a very calm environment, and we have a nice outdoor space. The neighbors have dogs so there could be opportunities to play with other dogs if that's something they're into. If I was at your house it would be pretty much the same, I would of course be attentive and careful and I would treat your things like they were mine.

“Sarah was an incredible sitter for our three Boston Terriers during our 6-day trip! She welcomed them into her home like they were part of her own family. With a big backyard to explore and plenty of love and attention, our dogs had a blast. Sarah kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, and it was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to three relaxed, happy pups—couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and experienced dog sitter!”

“Kay did a great job. My dog calmed down quickly in her presence and she sent photos and updates to ease my mind during the trip. She's also a nice person. I'm happy I went with Kay to watch my dog!”

“Autumn was so great with our pup, Cove! We were able to book last minute and she did so good at putting me at ease while she had her. Will definitely use again ☺️”
