“Grayson was awesome! Gave me plenty of updates when taking care of my dog while I was away, as well as photos! Octavia definitely loved having her come by!”

“Jeanene was absolutely fantastic! I feel like I hit the jackpot cuz she was able to accommodate my cat on such short notice. She was super responsive and a great communicator. It was a huge relief knowing Puff was well cared for while I was away. The peace of mind Jeanene provided was worth it and more. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages! As a pet parent myself to 4 cats and 2 dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced with pets of all personalities and love making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Your pets will be treated like family! I work full time during the week but am able to take extended lunch breaks to watch your pets. My weekends are completely free for your fur babies! I am experienced in handlings multiple dogs as well as reactive and aggressive dogs. I’m also skilled in trimming cats nails, giving baths, and more!

“After lots of Rover experience we can easily say Oxana is the best. We always trust her with our kitties and know she will send us lots of photos. She is always communicative, timely and respectful of our home. And our kitties love her. Highly recommend!”

“Isabel took great care of Chai, and I could see from all of the pictures that Chai was thoroughly enjoying Isabel's company! Isabel was very consistent, prompt, communicative, and sent plenty of photos for updates. Everything was left very clean as well. I would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”

“Communicated well and made sure everyone was taken care of. Show pictures of our pups and gave a good report!”

About: I am new to Asheville, and I’m excited to spend my days exploring the area with your pup by my side! Since my husband works during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the one-on-one attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve; not just a quick visit. I’m also looking forward to learning about different breeds as my husband and I prepare for dog ownership ourselves, so you can trust that I’ll care for your dog with genuine enthusiasm, patience, and lots of love :) I relocated with my husband for his job, so my hours are pretty open with notice for the foreseeable future! I enjoy hiking and walking, so i am happy to combine those activities with taking your pet along :) Your dog will enjoy a calm, comfortable home in West Asheville with plenty of space to relax and receive individualized attention. I typically opt for taking dog walks in parks or hiking trails instead of my neighborhood. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long and will receive lots of companionship, play, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. I treat every dog like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Ginny is so bubbly and so fun and so well-versed in animal care. I have one chihuahua with serious attitude (Andre) and one chihuahua pug (Moby) who is a nervous wreck. Andre was sold on Ginny by day 2 and Moby doesn't even hide when she arrives (that's progress for him!). My cats dig her, too. She goes above and beyond, sends me pics, and understands/puts up with my constant separation anxiety when I'm out of town. I come home to a clean house and healthy pets. She is highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Levon did great with our cats and dog! Our dog is anxious and can be slow to warm. Levon did a great job befriending her. He was very attentive and caring.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with large breeds, shy or anxious dogs, and managing multiple pets at once. I’ve also worked on basic puppy training like leash walking and simple commands, so I can reinforce good habits during walks or visits. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I work early mornings at a bakery, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings throughout the week. My schedule can vary slightly, but I’m flexible, easy to reach, and can usually confirm timing at least a day in advance! While doing dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and that all of their needs are met while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention, and I also make sure your home is respected and taken care of during visits. I’m always open to communication, so you can easily get in touch with me while I’m with your pet, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you feel reassured and connected the whole time.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.

“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”

“Lauren did an amazing job with our 3 cats! She came for a meet and greet beforehand and took time to meet each one individually. She followed all our instructions and provided prompt communication and updates regarding our kids. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Repeat customer!! Karmyn is absolutely wonderful! She’s always flexible, super communicative, and keeps us updated with great photos and messages while we’re away. We completely trust her with our pups and know they’re in the best hands every time. Definitely someone we rely on and highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs in my house for my whole life, and worked doggy daycare for Dog-Gone Rite. I feel I have plenty of experience and I love to be around animals. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available all weekdays as my work is not intensive. I like to sit with pets and watch them to ensure their safety as well as keeping them on a leash at all times outside.

“Brandon didn’t end up doing drop in visits for me because my cat got sick but appreciated immensely the flexibility for a last min cancellation.”

“So so glad we found Jordan to walk our sog”
