About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, rats, and even corn snakes. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I currently have three cats who are my world, and I’m very intentional about keeping them mentally stimulated and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, especially cats, who do things on their own terms, and I always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and take reliability very seriously. When I visit pets, I don’t just stop by for a quick check-in. I make sure to spend quality time with them, playing, hanging out, and giving them attention, typically staying up to 30 minutes so they feel genuinely cared for while their owners are away. Additionally, my parents had a diabetic cat, so I have experience with special-needs care and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and following care instructions closely. Your pets’ comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to be flexible and available throughout the day for multiple visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. This allows me to give pets consistent attention rather than rushed care, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. For drop-in visits, I care for cats and dogs in their own home where they feel most comfortable. For cats, this includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and quiet companionship while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For dogs, I provide potty breaks, feeding, walks if requested, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure to spend quality time with them rather than rushing through visits.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — including my own doodles. I offer reliable, loving pet care that includes daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or overnight care, you can count on me to treat them like family. I have the flexibility to build my day around your pet’s needs for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddles throughout the day. Mornings, afternoons, evenings — I’m available to match your pet’s routine, whether that’s a quick midday drop-in, a long walk, or staying overnight for full companionship. Your pet won’t have to wait long for attention — I’ll be right there to give them the care, love, and exercise they deserve. When I come to your home, my goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress-free by sticking to their usual routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of love, playtime, and potty breaks. For cats, I’ll refresh litter boxes and give them attention (or space!) depending on their personality. If your pet needs medication, extra walks, or just a little more TLC, I’m comfortable handling it all. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family is being cared for just like they would be if you were home. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets — and your home — will always be in good hands with me. 💜

About: I am a teacher in Asheville looking to hang out with some lovely animals in my free time. Growing up I have always had animals but primarily dogs so I have a strong background in dog behaviors and needs. My fiancé is also available to support during the week days that wouldn’t be optimal for me to leave during my teaching days. This gives a lot more availability! She has always grown up with cats and dogs and would love to help support to give them the best care. I look forward to care for your animal in anyway I can. Please let me know of any questions as I hope to be flexible with any needs. During the week I am gone roughly 8am-4pm but will be home during the weekend times. During the summer months I am available throughout the day times. My fiancé is a nurse and works 3 days out of the week. The schedule is flexible but sporadic. I love to get out for long walks and get as much movement as possible. If that’s for your animal I’d love to get them out! If not I am cautious about the animals typical areas and what works best for them.

“Jesse is amazing, was very patient w my shy girl. Maggie warmed up to her almost immediately and I am very grateful for her attention to detail and care”

“Absolutely wonderful walker! I feel so blessed to have found Tina. She may not know it but she is an answer to my prayers! Very friendly and personable. Quick to respond. Very flexible and willing to work around my difficult schedule even on the weekends which is sometimes hard to find. Tina is a very likable person but most importantly my dog likes her too! I was so comfortable with my dog in her care I am using her again this week. Bonus: She took such amazing photos of my sweet boy they looked professional taken.”

About: I’ve been a full time dog mom since 2007 and have cared for a variety of different breeds and temperament's. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m extremely active and love to get the pups outside on walks, runs, hikes, etc. Also, I’m always home so the dogs would never be left by themselves which is hard to find in sitters post-Covid. Love to take photos so you’ll receive many updates throughout the day if wanted. Dogs are meticulously cared for and treated like my own. Happy to accommodate even the quirkiest of requests. I’m a stay at home toddler mom with a smaller golden lab. We try to go on as many walks as we can outside, and plenty of play in the fenced yard or inside the home round the clock as well. I have a nice open floor plan home that is 100% dog friendly. My 3 year old human and 5 year old golden lab are home full time to play and give attention in addition to me. I DO NOT have a fenced in yard but may in the future.

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs, cats, fish, and birds for 15 years. I am comfortable with young and elderly animals, and am able to give medications or other more advanced kinds of care. Most importantly, I have a great dog voice. I am my own boss, so I'm able to alter my schedule as needed to care for your babies. Whether that's holidays, early mornings, evenings, etc. I prefer to meet your pets and see your home before our first care-visit. That way I can meet your fur baby in their own environment to have them be as comfortable with me as possible before I come to care for them.

About: My wife and I have raised my 7 year old black lab since he was a puppy and learned from his needs and wants throughout the years. I live in a small community where I routinely walk my dog but also have a decent sized back yard where your pets can play. I have previous experience with taking care of close friends cats and dogs. my wife and I are available anytime, I work during the day and she works during the night, there will always be someone home to take care of your loved ones! We have a fenced in back yard with a single gate, inside we have door sensors on the backyard door and front door. I have 2 daughters ages 3 and 6 that have not had issues with pets before. I live in a small neighborhood with decent room to walk your pets

About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.

About: Since childhood I have taken care of our pet dogs. Tending to their needs and providing kindness to them is what I prioritize the most because I believe that is what animals need. I currently am available daily from 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday. I share a car with my mother, however, there is no conflict of schedule that cannot be worked between her and I. I am available for drop-in appointments as well as over-the-night. For personal pets I care for them according to a healthy schedule. I wake up early and so will my pets, and will feed my pets, refresh their water bowls, and let them out for a light stroll all within an hour of waking up. Throughout the day I check their water bowl-refresh it if needed- check their sleep space to make sure its clean, take them outside for short bits here and there, as well as play with them for at least 20 minutes so they can burn energy. The daily night routine is the same as the morning routine.

About: Howdy! My name is Grey, and i want to snuggle your dog! Once upon a time, as an aging single male with no children employed at a plant, a coworker asked me if I would mind watching her dog for a night while she left town. I obliged and from that grew several clients from my workplace, and friends told friends, dogs told dogs, and i was never in my own bed for months watching other peoples' dogs and homes. My reviews are real and recent and if dogs could write as well as they speak, they would echo the same. I'm extremely interactive with your Pooch,but I'M NOTHING SPECIAL. I do specifically what im told regarding pets, household duties, errands AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS unless circumstances absolutely called for it. Excessive dog walks? NO PROBLEM! Plant watering and mail? LEMME DO THAT! Receiving 18 Amazon packages daily that you don't want on your front porch? Perfect, I don't want them on your porch either! My goals for your booking are: 1) Total peace of mind for pet parents upon departure. 2. 100% wagalicious excitement OR cuddlicious tranquility for pet during the trip. 3) A clean and choreless home with happy pets upon arrival. 4. I secretly want your pet to like me more than they like you. I do not coax them in any way though:) I'm ultra reasonable and can work with people on pricing depending on specific scenarios BUT I am not a miracle worker nor am I a dog whisperer. I throw balls, take long walks, verbally stimulate, feed and water your furbabies. Sometimes, i let them kiss my mouth (once per day, per dog). I take them to parks. I take them on hikes. I DO NOT TRAIN THEM..... SO, if they are destructive with the owner around, they will be 10x as destructive with me around. If they pee in the house, they are going to pee in 10x as much Square footage with me around vs the actual owner. I'm not Cesar Milan....I'm YOU for a week. Please respond with some contact info, interested dates and maybe anything ultra specific needed during your excursion. I'm a solid sitter, but there is only one of me, so let's book soon! Any medical professionals specializing in male pattern baldness, TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, please:) I do this full time, however, I'm newer to the area and I'm now discovering some of the challenges it provides, mostly that my average commute between jobs and home is over 1 hour. Ideally, i leave your house 1-2 times per day for no more than 4-5 hours. I do this with your dog's daily routine in mind, and am with them at whatever specific times needed for wake up, feedings etc. I use this time to handle other dogs, do my own errands or just a general break from sitting in the same place for 24 hours. These are obviously just guidelines and they can be altered to suit you and puppykins, and whatever is decided between us is adhered to responsibly every time. I love all dogs and 99% of cats and 95% of people. So much love to give.... ***I recently discovered that Im allergic to walks longer than 15-20 min in freezing temperatures. Seriously.....if someone told me I could meet the Dalai Lama but I had to walk across a freezing parking lot to do it, I would probably just pass. SO if your doggie likes long walks in the cold and wind, im probably not your guy, though we should still chat if in a pinch. I have ALWAYS, well before signing up for this app, cleaned client homes before client returns home. While not a professional, my goal is to always leave property in the same condition or better than I found it, mostly successfully. DON'T LET MY DEMOGRAPHIC FOOL YOU!!! I'm tidy and domesticated and I treat people's space and belongings with the highest level of care. I act as if there is a camera on me at work and in my personal life (and there likely is!). Pets are never unattended except for when I use restroom or quick necessity while tending to other matters of the home. Any and all protocols discussed are strictly adhered to. I take this very seriously. I watch a lot of Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown helped raise me. I handle people's homes and pets in accordance with their exacting standards towards pet handlers and caretakers

About: My husband and I have both grown up with dogs. We recently lost our two dogs to cancer and had our first child within the past few months - it has been an emotional rollercoaster. We want our son to be around dogs, but are not ready to get one ourselves yet. This seems like a great way to earn extra money while also being able to love on dogs. I am home with our son every day (week days and weekends) so I am able to watch after dogs any day at any time. We enjoyed taking our dogs on walks in the neighborhood, hiking in the woods, and playing in the yard. We allowed our dogs on the couch and in the bed because they are family.

About: I’ve bred and raised Old English Sheepdogs in childhood and have been pet sitting and caring for dogs ever since! I have experience administering medications, and even raised a cared for a dog with epilepsy and other medical conditions. I have experience in basic dog training, and experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I offer multiple pet-care services and guarantee excellent care :) I work part time and have a flexible schedule. While my work load does change week to week, on weeks I have scheduled pet care services, it is my priority and my weekly focus. I have a fenced in yard, doggy-door to the yard, and a large apartment without personal-pets, but with an option to have play time with my family’s dog next door :) For care within the clients home I am happy to follow your preferred routine and can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I can stay in-home for more involved care, or drop in for feedings, potty-breaks, and play time daily.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Maple and all the great pictures!”

About: I have a passion for animals. I worked in a pet store for over year, enjoying being able to help pet owners find what their pets need. It’s rewarding to be able to help pet parents and pets get relief. Animals are giving and loving and I enjoy them so much. I have nine guinea pigs myself (which won’t effect my availability:)) and they are the absolute light of my life. Your pets will get so much love and care with me as your sitter. I love all animals, and I am comfortable with most dog sizes. I grew up with small dogs, rodents, and lizards. I understand that dogs need time outside for relieving themselves as well as exercise and fresh air. Every other kind of pet is also just as amazing, and I’d love to love and care for them too! I will be spending all the time I have with your pet. I wake up early to take care of them and I come home immediately after work to spend the evening with your pet. My job starts early, so I will have most of the afternoon and all evening to spend with them. I spend as much time as possible with your pet. I work full time, but make it a priority to be consistent so your pet knows what to expect from me and feels safe.

About: As a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter, I bring a genuine passion for animals and a commitment to providing the highest level of care for your furry family members. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach—each dog is unique, and I tailor my services to meet their individual needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires a gentle pace. With a strong focus on communication, I ensure you're always updated on your pet's activities and well-being. My priority is to create a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. I believe in reliability, punctuality, and a calm, confident demeanor that animals respond well to, helping even the most timid pets feel comfortable and secure. As a stay-at-home dad, I spend my days with my 4-year-old, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. We enjoy outdoor activities, so dog walking fits perfectly into our routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. It's important that any dog I care for is comfortable around children, as my little one will often be part of our walks and playtime. Your pet will be in a loving, active environment where they’re treated like family. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize a routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I ensure pets are fed regularly, with my puppy receiving three meals a day. I’m diligent about providing frequent potty breaks, especially after naps, meals, and playtimes. I engage pets in stimulating exercise that is both fun and beneficial, like retrieving and tug of war, which my puppy loves. I also create a safe and comfortable space for them to rest, such as a crate for my puppy. Throughout the day, I incorporate short obedience training sessions to reinforce good behavior and keep their minds active.

“Kandi’s great! Always prompt - even when the weather is not really dog walking weather. I can tell she loves the dogs… and they love her!! I highly recommend Kandi!”
