“I am so glad to have chosen Savanah to walk my precious girl, Scout, while I’m at work. She gives thorough and thoughtful updates and gets amazing photos of my happy girl. Savanah is so sweet and you can tell she really cares. She is reliable and a great communicator. She did everything I requested and was sure to confirm she did so at each visit. Scout was extra playful and happy everyday after Savanah’s visits!”


“She was awesome! My dog liked her very much! Will definitely book again!”


About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was a child. I have raised dogs, cats, chickens, opossums, turtles, etc. This included walking, feeding, bathing, changing out liter, cleaning a chicken coop, baby opossum care. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and older dogs/cats. I recently lived with my college roommate for three years she had a poodle named Groot that I helped her raise from a puppy. He had a very sensitive stomach so he was on a special diet and prebiotics. She had a very busy schedule and often times had to go out of town. So, I helped take care of him. This included feeding, potty breaks, and hikes for exercise. I am a very proud dog aunt! I recently moved to Ocean Springs and I am excited to be able to create bonds with the animals and owners in my new community. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a very open schedule. Especially during the weekday and most of the time on weekends. I want to use this as an opportunity to create a weekly schedule that gets me out of my house and off the computer. Also the joy of getting to hang out with pets. A meet and greet is a must for me. I always want a new meeting between you, me and your pet to be one that sets us up for success. Every pet is different. I want to use the meeting as a way to learn their uniqueness and get them comfortable with me.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I have fostered cats from the Austin Siamese Rescue and dogs from the Pug Rescue of Austin. I've volunteered many hours at local animal shelters and have rescued 3 dogs of my own. I have extensive experience with seniors and special needs dogs, including neurological and spinal disorders. I'm well accustomed to dogs using wheels and administering medication. I especially have experience working with brachycephalic dogs and their unique needs! I love pets of all kinds and I can't wait to get to know yours! I work from home primarily as a freelancer so I have a very flexible schedule. If you need me to stop by and walk your pup or change out kitty litter, no problem! For in home daycare, I'll be with your pet all day. Currently, I am only able to watch your pet in your home (I'm in the process of buying a new house and will be moving soon). I will follow all of your instructions on how to best care for your pet in your home. For dog walks, I will take them on routes you've suggested unless you'd prefer me to take them elsewhere.

About: Hi! Your critter baby is in great hands with me. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life, as I grew up learning how to care for cats, dogs, leopard geckos, turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, fish, hermit crabs, plants and whatever the future holds! I’ve taken over 10 different house sitting and pet sitting jobs on varying occasions with my neighbor’s prestigious show-dogs, given walks to dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I’m ready to give my faithful attention your beloved animal friends! (Unfortunately I cant accept boarding requests for Pit Bulls due to corrupt land management but I’m happy to walk or house sit for your Pitty!) My childhood dog was Lulu, the 3 legged terrier. I also once cared for a labradoodle who struggled with a digestive condition, so I work super well with doggies who have special needs. Doggos are special in general! I own a leopard gecko. I also have taken several jobs for Wag! and have an advanced profile with a 4.97 star rating! Happy to share screenshots of reviews. Some say I’m a pet whisperer, but really I just have a lot of experience with them, so I really know the signals and gestures they use to communicate. Your pup is guaranteed a good time with me! If you would like to meet and greet let me know. I have a very open schedule! Feel free to follow me on instagram! I make art and also post story highlights of all the pets I love! I am also open to portrait commissions! ;) BONUS: Sometimes i doodle pictures of dogs and leave the sketches for the owners :) Please be sure to have your dog trained at a walkable level. I understand dogs very well but I am not a trainer by any means. I am an artist currently working from home, with an occasional Doordash delivery hustle and other dog walks. I am usually home most of the day and would not leave your pet unattended for longer than 4 hours! I treat pets with respect and make sure they feel welcome, with treats and scritches. I feed them and am happy to bathe them once a sitting if requested, outdoors. Whatever you need me to do, I will remember. Your pup is in good hands.

About: I was raised always having a dog in my family to care for. I believe this is what gave me a good foundation of compassion, affection, and responsibility. And love of course. I always pet sit for neighbors when I was young. As I got older I began having my own dogs and I’ve done some pet sitting. Pets are not just dogs or cats, they are just like another person, they are family. I advocate for animals, I show care and compassion. I will show your pet the same love as if it were my own. This year I put my 14yr old American Bulldog rescue dog down to sleep. 2 years prior I had to put down another senior dog. Those babies were given the very best lives and the very best of everything. This is how your pet will be treated in my care. My experience with senior dogs is extensive and I have true empathy and very gentle care for dogs in their late years. I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and make my own hours making my services very convenient. I can do both drop-ins and walks anytime. Your belongings and home will be treated with care and respect. I only work in environments that are safe and secure for myself and the animals. I’m also very comfortable and experienced with senior dogs and dogs that require medication.

“Elizabeth was wonderful and took great care of our girls. It was a hot day and day and she made sure our girls stayed shaded and hydrated on their walk with her.”


About: Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family have trusted me with their fur babies for years. I've taken care of senior dogs, puppies, high energy dogs, fish, snails, snakes, cats, and plants. I have 3 cat children of my own! I'm new to the Asheville area and have a lot of free time for your pets! From house sitting to multiple daily check-ins - I'm your girl! I will be happy to meet all of your pet's requirements in your home including frequent potty breaks, multiple walks, trips to dog parks, and/or playing!

About: I'm an animal enthusiast! I have grown up with a minimum of 4 doggies at a time, a couple of cats, and a turtle (that is now 28 years old). I've spent my entire life around critters. I treat animals like the special beings that they are. I sing to them and talk to them and offer them my love. :) I provide kind and sweet service to your animals and am flexible with your needs as an owner and customer. I'm comfortable with providing medicine or specific needs to your furry pets. I'm available full time and have a large home with a fenced in backyard. I'm also available for housesitting with your pet while you are away. I'm also available for doggy daycare and walks. Having so much much experience with dogs and cats has gifted me with skills such as breaking up dog fights, treating various wounds and ailments, tending to elderly dogs and giving them the love they need at their delicate stage of life, providing training to puppies, cleaning up messes and keeping up with sweeping/cleaning, finding out the source of dogs with skin allergies, driving animals to the pet emergency rooms, assisting in the wrapping of doggy foot casts, and more commonly, grooming.

“Rosko loves Louise! She's obviously an animal lover, and she provides appropriate boundaries while letting Rosko explore as he loves to do. She's great at communicating, and punctual. Five wags!”

I would just need access to WiFi from 8:30am-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. I am able to take breaks throughout the day so if you are just looking for someone to check on your pet and take them for a walk, I am able to help out! I have professional experience Dog Sitting.

My black lab is a whopping 90 pounds so I’m used to walking large dogs as well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. Anything from rabbits and Guinea pigs to horses. I have three giant dogs currently but I love to take care of all creatures. My pets are my 4 legged children that I’d do absolutely anything for. The same goes for your 4 legged family members! My schedule is relatively open so feel free to send me a message and I will respond as quickly as I possibly can. I’m also in grad school full time and at home with my dogs. I keep them on a routine. At home, my fur children have a routine that they follow. I’m very specific with how things are taken care. Because of that, I like to establish a clear understanding of directions for what fits best for your family member.


About: Hello! Lots of pet care experience, mainly cats and some dogs, along with smaller animals including gerbils, hamsters etc. Never was allowed to have a cat or dog growing up due to allergies in the family but always took the opportunity to care for pets whenever I could to get an excuse to hang out with doggies or kitties. I love spending time with animals and I appreciate all their unique attributes and what they mean to their humans, and I always make sure to do the job right and that the animals are cared for according to all instructions and specific preferences/needs. With me, your furry (or not) friends are in good hands! I'm available on a flexible basis and it's best to touch base to see about availability in days or weeks to come. Thanks for reading!

“Eliza was fantastic with my very anxious senior pup during a nighttime walk on July 4th. The fireworks were nonstop, it was crazy-loud, and the poor guy was shaking and wouldn’t come out of the bathroom. Eliza was such a good sport — incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. Thank you, Eliza!”
