I am so blessed to have Abigail!!! Harley and Dozer love her and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She is the absolute best! Even when a tree falls near my house and short circuits wires, Abigail fixed all my beeping smoke detectors so Harley wasn’t scared. If you live anywhere near Asheville, Arden, Mills River, or Hendersonville… you need to use Abigail!!

Highly recommend Kristen! We hired her for 3 consecutive days of drop-in visits. From the moment we met her, her warm and trustworthy energy put us at ease. During our meet n greet, she asked all the right questions to ensure she cared for our two cats perfectly. Our kitties were undeniably happy when we returned home, thanks to Kristen's excellent care. She was consistently punctual within the discussed time frames, always staying for the full visit (and more) to ensure our cats had everything they needed, plus lots of love and attention. Kristen's communication was top-notch; she was highly responsive and provided detailed notes along with numerous adorable pictures. One day, she brought her daughter along (with our permission), and our cats adored her company as well. For those who are as selective as we are about who cares for our pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Kristen.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was 10. I’ve taken care of blind dogs, Diabetic dogs, and dogs that are prone to seizures. I worked at a veterinarian office for two years and while in the military was a volunteer at vet clinics on the weekends when I wasn’t on duty. My whole life has revolved around animals from Chihuahuas to great Danes. I have assisted in potty training for young pups with great success. It just takes love and patience. Dogs are a chapter in our lives, but to dogs we are their whole book. I am retired and Home seven days a week. I have nothing but time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for pets. If your pet is staying overnight with me first thing to know is they will be sleeping with me in a king size bed, snoring is a plus 😊 in the mornings when we get up, usually around 6:30 or seven, we go outside to potty. If your Pet is not potty trained, no worries I will have pee pads light out in case of any accidents. Once we come in, I make their breakfast and while they eat, I have my coffee. After they eat, I wait around an hour and a half to two hours before play time, this gives their food time to digest, especially in big dogs that are prone to stomach flips. We will chase balls, play, tug-of-war, or whatever their toy of choice is even if it’s just play play play. We go for walks in the evening and then it’s dinner time. After dinner, I like to brush them and just sweet talk them.

We just had Krystin watch our cats for the first time. We felt she gave them very good care and seemed to genuinely enjoy being with them. She did everything we asked her to do and more. Krystin proved her self incredibly trustworthy and we felt very safe having her in our home and caring for our cats. We’d love to use her again in the future!

This is 3rd booking with Alexis for the care of two outdoor kitties. I am not sure what special kitty magic Alexis possesses, but our very shy and nervous kitty, Jigsaw, is getting more comfortable with her. Alexis communicates well, and of course the pictures of Jigsaw are appreciated much! Not to leave Casper out, I love those too!

We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Michael’s care while we did a day trip out of town. The visits to our dog were right on time and we loved seeing the photos. Michael even brought our pet food delivery in from the front porch. We will definitely use Michael’s services again.

I can’t say enough good things about Becca, she took care of my best friend while I was away for a week. She visited him twice a day, gave him his medicine, walked him, brushed him and even made him a neckerchief . Best Ever. Thank You

About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.

Jennie is the consistent “drop-in visitor” for our dachshund puppy and she is amazing! She is loving, punctual, attentive and communicative. She has learned our girl’s personality and likes and dislikes and has made each visit special for our pup. Jennie has worked with us for a little over a month now and we could not have picked a better fit!

Cate immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our furr babies would be well taken care of. And, they were! She was amazing with communication and punctuality and our animals loved her. She is someone that you can trust with your beloved animals. It is a game changer for us in our ability to go away and be able to truly relax knowing someone who is responsible, and so kind and loving is with our furry kids. Highly recommend!

Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.

Abigail was wonderful with Keller. He is mostly blind so he is very careful when meeting new people but did great with Abigail. Of course he may have remembered her from her visits a couple of years ago. But it was like she was an old friend.

This is the second time Kristen has checked in on our fur babes, this time the dog too. All three are very happy and safe. Kristen asks great questions during the meet n greets and makes sure the animals are well taken care of according to any guidelines you share. She’s always sure to give them extra love too!
