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: 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: I’ve had animals my entire life and currently have 6. I’m a huge animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I would love to give your pets some love and care! I work as a Special Education teacher. Starting in June, I will have full time availability until August. I can do any day and any time. I have 2 friendly dogs as well as 4 friendly cats. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced in and love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood.

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: 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: 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.

About: Are you looking for some love and fun for your girl or boy while their loved one is away ! Can’t wait to see what this brings and the connections I am able to make ! I’m a full-time worker who recently moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. While I do have a busy schedule during the week, I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and exploring all that the area has to offer. I previously spent time dog sitting in the Atlanta area and had a wonderful experience building relationships with both pets and their owners. If you have a dog or other animal that needs care, I’d love to help! I’m available for house sitting on Saturdays and Sundays, and I can begin house-sitting stays after 5:00 PM on Fridays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Now that I’m settled in WNC, I’m excited to continue providing dependable and loving care for local pets. With some local parks near it has been fun exploring.

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.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or snuggles, your furry (or feathered!) friend will be in loving hands With a flexible schedule and availability on both weekdays and weekends, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care that works around your busy life. Each pet I care for is treated like family. I provide safe, loving, and reliable attention so that your animals feel secure, happy, and well-loved.

“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 cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a calm, happy environment. Whether it’s giving medication, handling high-energy dogs, or comforting shy pets, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Our pets are our best friends, and it's my goal to ensure that we enjoy our time together! While it may be my job to provide care and love to your pets while you're away, I can also say that I value my time spent with each animal! Nothing makes my heart happier than a wagging tail or a slobbery kiss :) I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets both during school semesters and breaks. I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs ever since I can remember. I’m very keen on the comfort of your pet and respecting their boundaries. My two young girls are with their dad every other week; I only accept bookings on the weeks I don’t have my girls. I promise to love your fur baby just like my own and have clear and consistent communication while paying attention to any special needs your pet might have. I’m currently working from home as a freelance translator, so I have plenty of time to help you achieve your pet care needs. I also have a part time job a few days a week. I live right up the road from a local park with lots of open grass; I’m on a fitness journey so I will happily run and play with your pet as much as needed. I have a young cat that can keep your pet company and if need be, I can always enclose him in my room.

“Katharine was great! Will use her in the future when back in town.”

“Kandi has taken the time to make friends with our dog. She took him jogging around the Lake stopping frequently to let him be a dog. So glad we found her!!!”

About: Not only have I owned dogs my entire life, I have cared for my family's and friends' animals for as long as I can remember. I'm the go-to person when someone goes away! People trust me to take care of their animals like they were my own children. There is nothing more joyful than hanging out with a pet, and I look forward to spoiling your babies as well! About me: My husband and I moved to Waynesville in 2021 from the tri-state area; yes, I'm a Jersey Girl! Bob will probably join me on walks and drop-ins, so you'll get two sitters for the price of one! We have two rescue dogs - Beukeboom, who is a Cavachon, and Cassidy, who is a crazy zoomie dog! I have a flexible schedule, so whatever time you need assistance, I can be there for you. I know what it's like to need help with pups! I treat your dogs the same way I treat mine, which is like my own children. I have to hire sitters for my own dogs, so I know what it means to be able to trust someone.
