Dog Walking Dana

About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!

“Christine has been the biggest help taking care of my pup while I’m away at work. I feel so much better knowing that he gets out for a walk with her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring!”

About: Growing up with cats, I knew I wanted to be a dog person. I have rescued two dogs, both of which like to shadow us. I work from home next to an open doggy door all day. Our guests have access to a large fenced in yard, the opportunity to have some quiet time if they need it, and endless toys and bones to play with. Kyle and I are available often; the only restrictions we have include traveling that we do a handful of times throughout the year. When we aren’t traveling or working, Kyle likes to fish and I am focused on my art which takes place in my home. We have very few restrictions in our house when it comes to the dogs. (I think our only restriction is to table food, they don’t get any.) They have free rein of our large, fenced in back yard. If a dog needs their space, they go to another floor. I have a door that separates upstairs and down with comfortable areas in both locations for them to be alone with toys, bones, dog beds, and human furniture with full and easy access to all. If I am downstairs (in my studio) they will be with me. From my studio, they have direct access to the backyard via doggy door which is almost always open.

About: I’m the person who talks to your dog on the sidewalk in a funny voice. I fur babies & I’ve had pets my entire life. I am a full time mom to a sweet 6 year old son. Being outside and walking pups is our favorite thing to do together! I promise I will take great care of your fluffy family member and I look forward to meeting & cuddling them soon! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of wiggle room for checking in on your fluffy family member and loving them and giving them cuddles and walks and food or whatever they need that day. I’m so excited to meet the love of your life. I live on a large piece of property so if your baby can be off leash, I can have them off leash comfortably or if you prefer they be on leash I can do that too. There is plenty of room for lots of exercise. I have a very friendly, one year-old dog and a very friendly three-year-old cat. They love other animals! I also have a six-year-old son and he is an animal lover as well. If your Animal doesn’t like kids or other animals, I’m probably not a good fit. But I do not have my son on the weekends so I could pet sit for you on the weekends when my son is not around if your pet doesn’t like kids. I’m so looking forward to meeting your fluffy family member!

About: If you need someone to stop by for some pet care, feeding and play time I'm here to help! I have the flexibility to visit most times of the day and spoil your pet with attention and any exercise they need! Having cared for animals my entire life- I understand the importance of a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. I am patient and able to help animals that may need extra love. I have experience with animals with various levels of anxiety, medication needs, older animals and rescues that just need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I'm happy to stay in contact with you during your time away, sharing pictures or updates however often you'd like. Reach out and let me help you and your pet have a stress-free time :) I work from home so my days are very flexible! I can make morning afternoon or evening visits work, multiple times a day or week I will always keep their environment safe and clean, all strings or small toys you pet might try to eat will be kept away! I will always respect their boundaries.

“We were gone for the weekend and Mallory was wonderful with our 2 pups! They are usually crazy and destructive when we leave but they loved Mallory and behaved so well! Would highly recommend for pup sitting and walking.”

About: I am a nurse finishing Nurse Practitioner school taking time to focus on studies and family. I love to play and give lovings to them! I am currently finishing my degree to become a family nurse practitioner, so I am pretty open. I am available after 7:30 in the mornings. I have a cat who is very spoiled and loved. I make sure to spend time with pets and make sure they feel loved and safe.

About: Hi everyone! I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and chickens. When my friends and family started having me babysit their pets for long periods of time, I realized I loved spending time with the dogs, getting exercise, and being outside. I love what I do. I am a stay at home mom/ college student. I have my own 8 month old puppy who is my baby girl. She LOVES other dogs and is ready to play!!. I am available 7 days a week, on short notice, for long durations, and multiple times a day. I will work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. They must be friendly towards males, other dogs, and children. I can not wait to meet you and your loveable furry friend!

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and I love being a pet parent. I enjoy fostering needy animals, especially seniors. I also work at the Humane Society and I am pursuing my degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work part time at the Asheville Humane Society. Working part time allows me plenty of time to drop in and care for your babies. I have experience working with animals and will show them all the love and affection as if they were my own babies. I will help them feel comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience working with all different types of animals and I love to help them come out of their shell.

“Kristen was excellent with my 4 month old puppy! She was on time, reinforced some training, gave her terrific exercise. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.

“Chloe is just a natural with dogs. She was very comfortable on her first walk with Minnie, it seemed like he has met Minnie many times. She handled everything like a pro.”
