About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. I recently said goodbye to my own dog after 18 wonderful years together, and that experience deepened my understanding of the love, patience, and attentiveness our dogs deserve at every stage of life. I’m currently offering dog boarding in my home only. I’m not accepting walks or drop-in visits at this time. This allows me to be fully present and create a calm, attentive environment for the dogs in my care. Friends and family often call me an “animal whisperer” because of my intuitive connection with animals. I spent two years volunteering at an animal rescue in Colorado, working with dogs, cats, and even rescued farm animals, which gave me experience with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, or a senior needing extra support, I focus on creating a safe, peaceful space where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and preferences so they feel as at home as possible. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to be available for your dog’s needs throughout most of the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular attention, potty breaks, and a calm, consistent presence. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate different routines, whether your dog is active and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive home environment where your dog can truly relax. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with a peaceful indoor space designed to keep dogs comfortable and at ease. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise throughout the day and keep a close eye on each dog’s needs and comfort level. I take time to understand your dog’s routine, temperament, and preferences so they feel secure and at home. I keep my space clean, low-stress, and structured, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or crate routines if needed. My goal is for your dog to feel as close to home as possible while they’re here.

“Nate is super friendly and reassured me Tama would have a good time with the other dogs in the home. He played so hard he was fighting sleep on the drive home. Thanks for taking care of him today!”

“What good fortune to find Miranda’s doggie daycare service, especially considering the convenient location and tidy fenced yard. Miranda is a highly competent and kind-hearted pet caregiver who was able to accommodate a last-minute request for a senior pup recovering from eye surgery. She followed our care regime to a T and also used excellent judgement when faced with unplanned situations. Her communication skills are excellent. We could not asked for better care for our sweet senior, and hope to visit her again.”

“Paul and his fiancé were amazing with our boy, Ezra. As my service dog, he is always with me. There were 2 days of our 16-day vacay that we needed a reliable pet sitter for adventures we couldn’t bring Ezra on: zip-lining in Barnardsville and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in a 2-seater Polaris Slingshot. Even after a considerately planned meet-and-greet the afternoon before his 1st stay with Paul, Ezra was a little nervous after we dropped him off. Thoughtfully, I received updates and videos to keep me posted. Paul and his fiancé worked with him to build trust and also Ezra’s confidence. By day 2, Ezra did not want his stay to end at pick-up time! When he finally did get in the car, he was happily exhausted and slept the entire drive home. I would definitely reach out to Paul as a pet sitter should the need arise the next time we visit beautiful North Carolina! Thank you both for taking such good care of our Ezra. We truly appreciate all you did to help him adjust and feel comfortable, confident and happy!!! :)”

“Frankie had a blast here and was proper tired after spending the day with them. If I’m ever back in Asheville I know where to take the pup when needed!”

“Alexa was great! I was in town from out of state visiting family and needed someone to watch my dog for the one day of the trip while were at the Biltmore. My dog stayed with Alexa and her two pups and another dog who was there that day for the daytime visit. Alexa communicated well, was friendly at drop off and pickup, and sent several pictures. I also got to step inside her home at drop off and meet her and the other pups and see where my dog would be staying which I appreciated. My dog is very confident when in her normal routine and when in unfamiliar places with me, but can be timid when in unfamiliar places without me. My dog was timid at dropoff as I expected and I felt at ease trusting Alexa would take great care of her. At pickup, my dog was acting fully herself. Alexa cared for my dog well and it was a nice bonus that my dog had some other friendly pups to play with.”

“Gabriella did a great job with doggy daycare for our dog Beans. Her house provided a safe place for our little man to relax and enjoy the day. She walked him, as well as fed him. She was also a clear communicator and sent check in photos. Would highly recommend Gabriella, thanks for taking such great care of Beans!”

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.

“Jax had an absolute blast at Sharon’s place! He was so engrossed in the fun that he didn’t want to leave. We felt like we were instantly part of the family. 💖”

About: I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, going on walks, or simply snuggling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Currently, I work from home which means your dog will have plenty of attention and companionship while you're away. We have a spacious backyard and deck. Plus, my friendly dog would love to have a new buddy to romp around with! If you need to get in touch with me, I'm fast to respond to messages. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or just lounging in the sun, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I'll make sure they stick to their regular routine.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life, owning all sizes from golden retrievers to chihuahuas. Cats too. Now instead of owning, I look after them. This brings me joy. I have loads of free time as I only work outside of my home 7 hours a week. A 4 hour shift and a 3 hour shift at a local art gallery. Typically I become your pets surrogate human. I move into your home to care for your pets. I bring all of my own food and when I leave your place I leave no trace of my stay. That is very important to me.

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 some community activities but I spend most of my time working on 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 a very active senior 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, 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). 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.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them! I currently have an 8-year-old pug who’s a beloved member of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and gentle care. I understand how important it is to give each dog the attention, love, and routine they’re used to, and I treat every pup like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy incorporating dogs into my everyday life. I love going on long walks and having a furry companion by my side, whether we're exploring the neighborhood or just relaxing on the couch for some snuggles. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve throughout the day. I strive to create a home environment that is safe, comfortable, and stress-free for dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and part of the family. I also place a strong emphasis on healthy, nutritious eating and always follow the pet parent’s guidance when it comes to diet and feeding routines. Every dog has unique needs, and I do my best to meet them with kindness, attention, and consistency.

About: We are Chris, Susan, Louisa (3 year old daughter), and Theo (active playful Aussie)! We know the value of having someone watch your dog while you go explore, take a trip, or just wanting your pup to have some super zoomie time with another dog. We live in the Haw Creek neighborhood (near the Masters Park trailhead). Our property is set up for dogs to able to play and roam in the fenced in yard. Since we do have a young child in the house - dogs must be friendly with children. We do take our own precautions and never let her play with them during mealtimes. We have flexible schedules so your pup won’t be home alone more than 4 hours at a time max. Our property is a great one for dogs to explore safely. Our 1 acre yard is fenced with a driveway gate that stays closed. Let us know if you have an escape artist though! Very small dogs could fit through some parts of the fence.
