Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Tech. Reliable. Responsible.
For more than 10 years, I've dedicated my life to caring for animals through both professional veterinary medicine and personalized pet care. As a former veterinary technician and experienced pet sitter, I've worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs—from energetic puppies and active working dogs to senior pets requiring specialized attention and medication administration. My passion for animals extends far beyond my professional experience. As an avid trail runner, mountain biker, hiker, and outdoor enthusiast, I spend much of my time exploring the incredible trails, forests, and mountains of Western North Carolina. I believe that exercise, enrichment, and time spent outdoors are essential components of a happy, healthy life for both people and dogs. I've combined my veterinary background with my love of the outdoors to create a unique pet care experience. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely walks, backyard play sessions, trail adventures, or simply relaxing in a peaceful home environment, I strive to provide individualized care that meets their specific needs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Caitlin W. highly enough! From the start, they treated my Stella like family and clearly cared about her safety, comfort, and happiness while I was away. Communication was outstanding—I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing my dog was well cared for let me truly relax. When I returned, she was content, well exercised, and clearly showered with attention and affection. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with a beloved pet, but I have. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive who truly loves animals, look no further. I will definitely book again and wholeheartedly recommend them for exceptional pet care!
What a gem! Caitlin was SO wonderful with our doggy, Sybi. I got regular updates and pictures. It was great to have such peace of mind while we were traveling.
Caitlin was wonderful with our pup Jake!

Schedule
Nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina near the beautiful Pisgah National Forest and the Ecusta Trail, we provide a peaceful, home-based alternative to traditional kennels. Our mission is simple: to give your dog the same love, attention, and care that we would give our own. As a former veterinary technician with over 10 years of professional experience, I understand that every dog is unique. My background allows me to provide knowledgeable, attentive care while recognizing the importance of your pet's health, comfort, and individual needs. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure companion or prefers a slower pace, their well-being is always my top priority. Our home sits on a fully fenced one-acre property where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We believe that a happy dog is an active dog, so daily walks, outdoor adventures, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention are part of the experience. As an avid hiker, trail runner, and outdoor enthusiast, I love helping dogs enjoy the natural beauty that makes our mountain community so special. A typical day includes a morning and evening walk with plenty of time in between to lounge / sniff / explore the fenced in property.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have older golden retrievers at home. I have a large fenced in yard that encompasses about 1 acre. My dogs and our guest will be let out several times a day and we go on a 30 min-1 hour walk every morning and another in the evening.
Pets
A typical day
I am super active and would love (with permission) to take your dogs to the dog park, a long walk around the neighborhood bike path, on a hike at DuPont or Pisgah, or just simply snuggle up to a Harry Potter film in the evening. If you're dogs prefer to stay at home, that's quite fine too, I also love a quiet night hanging out at the house.
