About: **IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT PRICING AND SUCH AT BOTTOM OF PAGE** I've lived on a homestead my whole life. I have provided overnight and daytime care for family's, friends', and neighbors' pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, hamsters, hermit crabs, and many species of bird including chickens, geese, ducks, guinea fowl, and parakeets. I am a young adult freelancer, so my schedule is somewhat free for now. I will be available to take care of your pets mostly later in the day on weekdays and all day on most weekends. I will care for your pet and/or pets in whatever way we agreed to, whatever way you ask me to. I will make sure your pet stays healthy and happy while you are away.

About: Hi! I'm Anahata, I am a passionate animal lover and a doggy enthusiast! No matter how big, small, slobbery or fuzzy, I would be happy to take care of your pup! I have been taking care of dogs and cats in-home and out of home for 8+ years and I am comfortable with almost all types of care. I am an avid nature lover, so I am always down to take your dog out for a run at the park , a swim at the beach, or even chill with them at home! I am a part time artist, musician and traveler, but I can be quite flexible with my doggy care schedule. Contact me with any questions you have or for details! Peace and love :)

“Erik is amazing! We use him weekly to care for our fur babies while we’re at work as well as drop in visits when on vacation. He is always on time, trustworthy, and exceeds expectations. His communication is outstanding. He truly loves taking care of the pups and it definitely shows in the attention he gives each of them. This has been our first experience using a dog walker / caregiver in our home and it has been one of the best decisions yet!”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was born. Currently have a horse, a pony, two goats, three cats, and two dogs living on my property/in my house. I love them all dearly. They are quite literally my children, so I understand the importance of high quality care for your pets. I work full-time from home and usually have lots of free time as my job isn’t incredibly demanding. I usually leave for a few hours in the evening after work to go ride my horse, but other than that I am quite open. I live on 4 1/2 acres. I have a very small fenced in backyard, but I usually walk my dogs 2-3x a day instead of just putting them out there. I do not live on a busy road.

“Kate is wonderful! She took great care of our pups, showing up right on time, sharing pictures, and even keeping me posted on how my dog was doing when I told her he was a little under the weather. Thank you, Kate! We will definitely call you again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily. I am currently working independently and using this time to create and spend time with nature’s gifts. My schedule is very flexible - and I am willing to work with you! I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks, mini horses, and loads of other animals so I am experienced in animal care! I currently have dogs and cats! I want to help other animal owners because I know how helpful pet sitting is for me! I am currently unemployed looking for animal care jobs throughout the week and weekend. I am very flexible. I’m working on getting my associates degree and I have classes Tuesday/Thursday. I know how much my pets mean to me and I want to maintain a safe and friendly environment for all the pets I will be caring for. I am a very clear communicator and I work best knowing what each individual pet needs!

About: I've grown up around big dogs my whole life and love all pets more than anything. I believe every pet should feel loved and happy with the humans they around no matter how old, or young, they may be. With a very open schedule, I am happy to commit however long or short needed for your special companion! I am looking to find many jobs throughout my last semester at UNCA.

I respect the client and pets' space- no questions asked. Never hesitate to give me lists and lists of expectations, or just tell me to have fun! Whatever you need done will be accomplished!

About: I have always loved and enjoyed caring for animals. My home has always had a four legged family member occupying space. From rabbits to pot belly pigs it’s such a joy to love and care for them. I’m currently a full time student that takes online classes. So my schedule is pretty free and flexible. I don’t have a traditional job so I’m home a lot. I have a front and back yard that I can walk your fur baby in. I also have 2 friendly fur babies of my own to keep them company.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: I have had a multitude of animals since I was young, which has led to many years of experience. I currently have a pet cat and dog. I’m a very active person and love going out in nature for walks and requests for longer walks beyond the 30 minute allotment are definitely welcome! I would love to build a strong relationship with the pets and owners I interact with to help build my experience even more and make your pets comfortable with a familiar face. I have a dog of my own that I walk and I’m a stay at home mom, which allows my schedule to be relatively open. In my clients home I will make sure the pet’s needs are met 100%. This includes making sure they have plenty of water, food and have had an adequate potty break. I will also play with the pet as long as their owner is okay with that.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, I grew up with dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, horses, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs. I feel like I’ve had it all, I am also a very seasoned Vet tech. I am expierenced with giving animals medication as well. If I am watching a dog I will be sure to make sure they get enough exercise, and any other pets I will make sure they all get love and cuddles! My own pets are super spoiled, and I would treat your pets just like they were my own. I don’t care about breeds, from working in a vets office I do have experience with animals that can sometimes be moody. I sure hope I get to talk to you soon! I do currently work 3 days a week, so pets that will be staying in my home will be taken care of before and after work by me. My partner is also at the house throughout the day and treats any animal that comes into our home like his own. I will take your pups for walks/hikes, and to the dog park if your pet is dog friendly. I believe allowing them to get their energy out is very important.

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

About: All my life, I have been surrounded by animals. As a mental health counselor by trade, I know how important it is to have animals and the connection that they have with their human counterparts. Animals are a part of the family, and I believe that they should be treated as our own. I am a very responsible and loyal pet sitter and I promise to provide excellent care to your fur-babies, so that you can have a restful and relaxing time away. I work full time from 8-5 M-F, and sometimes later. However, I am free most evenings after 6 as well as weekends. I have some holidays available as well so please reach out if you want to have me look after your pets! I have one dog and one cat. I take my dog on 2 mile walks a day and she is very friendly! My cat is my dog's best friend. If I end up taking care of pets overnight, I can arrange care for my own! I try to go to the dog park at least twice a day!

About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.

About: I've worked in two different animal shelters as an animal caretaker. I learned so much from both jobs to help me in my pet sitting journey. I'll love on your babies and walk, feed and play with them. And I don't mind to clean up their messes! I work at a part time job in the mornings, so I'm available late morning to evenings most days, and on Sundays, I'll be available after church. I'm very dependable and trustworthy. You can trust me to take care of your babies and to respect the wishes you have set forth for them. I'll be very respectful of your home while I am in it.

“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
