3. Albert K.
About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.


4. Abigail H.
“Abi is the ABSOLUTE BEST. I think Abi is a bona-fide animal whisperer and treats our babies like her own, compassionate above all to everyone. She is communicative, responsible, reliable, and a gem of a human. She still checks in on us and our furry friends and has been there when we needed her most.”


5. Katie & Dylan M.

“Thank for taking care of our 2 kitties! We were overall very satisfied with the care they provided and would recommend them to others. It’s clear that they are patient, kind animal lovers. The photos and videos that they sent had me in tears most of the time. They always left detailed descriptions for each visit and spent extra time spoiling them. I look forward to using their services in the future.”


6. Makenzy M.


“Makenzy watched my dog for a week over thanksgiving and did a fantastic job. So many awesome photos and updates and my pup is very happy. She’s really the best there is!”


7. Hannah B.
“Hannah was a wonder fur baby sitter. She showed lots of love and compassion with our babies. Hannah was very respectful and was on time every time we needed her. Our fur babies loved and took to her very easily. I would recommend using her services to anyone that asked.”


8. Katlyn C.


“Katlyn was wonderful and took great care of our dogs while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”


9. Kara K.

“Karan is lovely as can be and Pippi was very well cared for as well as my house while I was away. Kara is very understanding, considerate and thoughtful. She has been an absolute pleasure to communicate with and work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to feel secure about their beloved babies while away.”


10. Carlie A.
“Carlie is really good with animals and she has experience with different types of animals. She has watched my dogs who think they are human and are spoiled! I don’t leave them with just anyone! Mine have never been boarded and have only had a couple of different people stay with them in 8 years. I very much trust her with them!”


11. Shea M.
“Knowing and being around Shea for many years, this is a perfect fit for her. She is one of the most loving and compassionate people I know, with people and pets. She has rescued many animals, and or found them good homes. She has also found animals, and got them Veterinary care if needed. Shea is very trustworthy and responsible and will treat her clients pets, as her own.”

“Isabel was super sweet to my kitties and went above and beyond to help them stay comfortable while we were out of town. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again soon! :)”


14. Megan K.

“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”


15. Aditi P.

“Aditi was super reliable and conscientious. She took excellent care of my cat and he clearly adored her. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”


16. Johnny C.
“Johnny stayed at our home for two weeks while we were out of the country and took great care of our cat, chickens and plants. Always great communication. We would definitely have Johnny help us again.”


17. Lynsey H.
About: I’ve grown up with numerous types of animals, and i’ve had my share of experience in animals shelters and vet clinics. I’ve taken care of newborns to senior pets, and many kinds of animals at that. I utilize a very natural and gentle approach to caring for animals, they have a special place in my heart! I’m also convinced I can befriend any grumpy or otherwise unsociable pet. I have morning classes everyday from 9:30-12pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I also have an evening class from 3-5pm. I am willing to house sit in between, after, and before my classes as best as I can, though it will depend on distance and needs! Directions given from clients will be followed to a T. The comfort and care of the pet(s) is my top priority and I will tend to each baby as their needs require! I myself have multiple dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys with specific needs and understand the feeling of wanting to ensure they are in good hands.


18. Maddalena G.
About: Hello! My name is Lena. :) I am a pet sitter of many years, and a proud fur mama of a 16-year-old chihuahua named Cinnamon. I spent a few years in my early 20s as a full-time dog groomer, before moving to Asheville and pursuing other professional ventures. I've also worked in a kennel and doggie daycare, so am experienced and comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and dietary needs. I understand that every dog is different, and am happy to provide care for those who need to exert extra energy, those who are couch potatoes, and every fur baby in between. As an added bonus, I've also done master level reiki training, and have provided animal reiki quite a few times! I currently work part-time during the day, so will be around for morning + evening walks & feeding, as well as overnight for stays. I am happy to spend more time with your fur baby around these hours! For overnight stays, I do my best to accommodate to your pet’s normal routine with feeding/walks/etc. I will typically come by around dinner time, and stay until mid-late morning. I like to bring my senior chihuahua for longer stays if your pet would be open to a friend!


19. Victoria M.

“Great experience, reliable and caring, My pup loved her, and I loved getting the messages and photos.”


20. Joa G.
About: Hello! I’m Joa! I’m 23, and I recently moved to Asheville! I have worked at Pet Supermarket, volunteered at a local veterinarian, and have worked at a dog groomer. I had a 12 year old pug since second grade, and after she passed, I helped my mom take care of a new pug puppy. Currently, my partner and I have a 12 year old hound mix and a 7(ish?) year old tortie cat. I will do anything I can to keep a pup or kitty happy and healthy. If there is a specific time I could be helpful, please let me know. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet! Thank you! I often walk or run on my own anyway, so being able to do it with your dog would be even better. I also enjoy reading and drawing, and would happily do those in the company of your cat. I will make sure they have fresh water and are fed on time. Even if I am just doing drop in visits, and if it is alright with you, I like to spend some time with the pets, either playing or petting, making sure they don’t feel too lonely.
