Pet care experience

Big or Small- I love them ALL!

With over 25 years of professional pet sitting and dog training experience, I offer a haven where every pet, from giant breeds to tiny tots, feels right at home. Nestled on an 8-acre farm in Asheville, with a delightful little lake, perfect for doggy swims, my property is like a year-round summer camp for pets. I pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable, with pick-up and drop-off services available to ensure your furry friends are well-cared for from start to finish. At our home or in your home, every animal is adored and given the love and attention they deserve!

We had 2 dogs board with Alyssa last week...from our first contact to our last Alyssa was top notch. She was responsive, accommodating and a pleasure to get to know. Her home is set up to take care of dogs and it's clear from several times daily photos and videos that our dogs had a blast, getting walks, swimming in the pond and playing in the very large indoor/outdoor play room! We will definitely be back!

Our dogs were so well taken care of during their stay with Alyssa. She sent photos and kept us updated on how they were doing each day. Our girls had their own little vacation while we were away. I highly recommend Alyssa, and our pups will be happy to return to their home away from home!

Alyssa is AMAZING!! My Ruby had the absolute best day staying with Alyssa at her home! They went hiking, playing in the creek and played with other pups-SO wonderful! I have already booked a week with her in August for my Ruby while we are on vacation-100% trust her to take the best care of my girl. Thank you and see you again soon!! ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will be my constant companion, whether they're staying with me or at your home. Pets are welcome - and encouraged- to sleep on my bed and relax on my furniture. I’m also happy to crate pets, as needed. I will maintain their regular feeding and medication routines, ensuring that every furry friend, from senior pups to brand-new puppies, feels right at home!

A typical day

Welcome to a doggie paradise on our gorgeous 8-acre farm in Asheville, where every day feels like a thrilling summer camp adventure for your furry friends! Picture this: dogs prancing through sprawling fields, their tails wagging like little flags as they run, romp, and explore to their hearts' content. Our charming farm features a serene little lake perfect for playful splashes and refreshing swims, and a sprawling 2,000 square-foot covered play area where they can frolic rain or shine. For the smaller pups, there’s a special haven just for them, ensuring everyone has their own space to shine. At mealtime, each dog gets a cozy, private spot to enjoy their feast in peace. We also offer free pick-up and drop-off services, so you can sit back and relax while we take care of the details. With endless cuddles, belly rubs, and boundless love, every day here is a joyful romp through canine bliss!

All quirks and personalities are warmly welcomed here! Just let me know if your pet has any special needs or particular behaviors—whether it’s a tendency to be a bit feisty with other animals, children, or even mail carriers. If your dog has a knack for making a dash through open doors or scaling fences, please keep me informed. And don’t worry about medications; I’m more than happy to administer them as needed. Your pet’s unique traits will be embraced with care and attention!
