1. Melissa L.

“Melissa was great at watching Luna! She really made sure to follow our instructions for Luna and still made sure to spend quality time with her. I felt very safe having her watch Luna and got updates from her about how she was doing.”


2. Elizabeth B.

“Elizabeth was great! She came to the house to meet the animals before we left for vacation to make sure we felt comfortable. She’s a great communicator and we got multiple pictures updates everyday we were away!”


3. Megan K.

“Megan was a great house sitter! Communicative, attentive and loving to our fur babies. We’re planning to book her again and would recommend her for anyone needing house sitting services.”


4. Levon B.

“Levon is amazing! My boy Melvin is very skittish and inclined to be fearful of new men, but Levon put him at ease right away, and Melvin was licking his face and trying to climb on him within minutes of our first meeting! I’m blown away by how Levon immediately knew exactly how to handle and communicate with Melvin—my guy is definitely a tough case with major anxiety and leash reactivity (which means 62 lbs jerking at your arm when our passing-trigger protocol fails to keep him calm), and Levon is literally the one and only person I feel comfortable handing the leash to as of right now. I was finally able to take a three-day trip without Melvin over Thanksgiving because of Levon—I hadn’t been able to do that since adopting him because he’s such a handful and has some special needs—and I was actually able to enjoy myself without worrying about Melvin! For him it was just a great visit with his buddy who took him for awesome outings to walk and hike, and quality time at the house where he received lots of love and attention. Melvin and I are so grateful to have Levon as our go-to now for when I want to schedule trips, and also as someone who can bring him out on adventures for extra exercise and stimulation!”


5. Hannah "Miles" V.

“Miles is an amazing and reliable dog and housesitter. She was in touch with pictures and updates, and left everything in order and clean, with a nice note! We couldn't ask for more!”


6. Charlie S.

“Very last minute sitting with Charlie! Pup was very happy to hangout for a few hours and relax while at a wedding at Junebug! Highly recommend in the Asheville area!”


7. Johnny C.
“Johnny took fantastic care of my senior dog, Cheeto while I was away & sent me lots of photos and videos to calm my anxiety due to being away. He’s incredibly trustworthy and dependable and will absolutely have you back! Thank you so much!”


8. Victoria M.

“Victoria was amazing with Miles!! She took him on a ton of walks and adventures and gave him plenty of snuggles! Super communicative throughout and sent me plenty of pictures! Would love to have her sit for him again!”


9. Nora E.


“Nora is an amazing and respectful sitter! Our cat is very shy and took to her very quickly. Nora was very communicative and checked in a lot on how our cat was doing while we were away including litter box, food/water updates. We will 100% be a repeat customer to Nora in the future!!”


10. Mairead H.

“Mairead did such a great job sitting for our two dogs. She spent a lot of time with them, took them on long walks, and was really sweet and caring when one got sick. One of our dogs is a rescue and has some aggressive tendencies but Mairead took care to understand his triggers and was comfortable dealing with those. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”


11. Theresa S.

“Theresa was wonderful! She house sat my dog (who isn’t always the easiest to care for - she has dog reactivity and general anxiety) for the weekend and she took such great care of her. I got lots of updates throughout the trip and felt extremely relaxed about Anika’s care while I was away. Can’t recommend Theresa enough and will definitely be asking her to watch Anika in the future!”


12. Katie & Dylan M.

“Katie is excellent and Super Cooper loves her! Katie and Dylan are an excellent team and they were able to give me peace of mind so I could go to a funeral of a beloved family member. I can't express some words how much it meant to me that I could trust them and they did such an excellent job. Thanks and gratitude.”


13. Isabel C.

“Isabel was amazing! She house sat for us for a weekend and took care of our pup. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Pretty sure the house was cleaner when we got back. 10/10 definitely recommend.”


14. Lynsey D.
“Lynsey was so good with our dog JuneBug (who is not really a people person). She was very communicative and we felt very safe with her watching over our pup and our home while we were away.”


15. Daniele M.

“Danielle was awesome with my furry family!!! She cared and loved them, maintained their routine, and kept the house very tidy! I also received pictures and updates - communication was great! We can't wait for her to come sit again and highly recommend!”


16. Miranda K.

“Miranda was wonderful with our pets and very professional, will definitely be looking to re-book her! We were especially grateful that she administered many meds and accommodated a diet change for our unexpectedly sick dog without any problems.”


17. Maddalena G.

“Maddalena was friendly and flexible with our schedule and meetup. Our energetic lab mix loved her right away and she made sure he was well taken care of while we were gone. Highly recommended and hope to use her again in the future!”


18. Julie G.

“Julie G was such a help to me! She is professional and responsible, and took good care of my pups and my house. She made time to meet me and dogs before I left, and communicated while I was away. She said she likes to leave the house better than she found it, and I was very impressed with the condition of my home when I got back. I fully recommend her services and will rebook in the future.”


19. Kristen P.

“Kristen looked after our two dogs and cat over a long holiday weekend. She was reliable, communicative, and very loving to our fury family. She treated our home with respect and exceeded all expectations. We already booked with her again. Thanks, Kristen!”


20. Nisa S.
About: Hi I’m Nisa and that cutie is Harper my Aussie pup. I work Nights in healthcare & I would love to spend my days with animals if I could. That and Harper would love new friends. I keep her pretty active by taking her to the dog park at least once a day if the weather is tolerable or we go on hikes on the parkway, so if you need anyone to tire your pup I’m your gal. Harper is a loving dog though and gets a lot with anyone . If you have any further questions please feel free to message me. I work nights and have tons of time in the day time to care for pets! My son loves to meet new animals so being able to do this really brings joy to both him and I. I treat others pets like my own and make sure they are well cared for. I offer a fenced in yard for unlimited amount of playtime and like to take dogs on walks etc.
