First, I listen to your dog. I am trained in dog body language and other forms of communication. Time as a veterinary assistant, dog groomer, assistance dog trainer, shelter volunteer, dog walker/sitter, and dog park regular, have made me fluent in "dog". I will set your dog at ease and create a home away from home. Next, I will listen to what you need. I am happy to provide regular text updates with pictures anytime! Being a pretty particular dog owner myself, I will be committed to following your exact instructions down to the smallest detail (Gluten-free? Special training techniques? No problem!) I am able to do anything from potty breaks to 10-mile hikes, and overnights at my place or yours. My boyfriend and I are both dog lovers and our two dogs and cat will love to share the fenced-in yard! ***Important considerations for those looking for boarding/daycare: Does your dog love a fenced-in yard to explore, being around other fun dogs, and snuggling on the couch? If so, read on and contact me! If your dog prefers the company of only humans, isn't allowed on furniture, and simply cannot go up and down stairs, I would recommend house-sitting, drop-in visits, or checking out one of the many other Rover sitters. My native language is "doglish". If your'e looking for boarding or daycare, your pet will be spoiled with lots of attention during their fun, funky vacation in my large, three-bedroom West Asheville home! Conveniently located in the Ewana neighborhood, near Haywood Road. Your dog will have fun hanging out in the backyard overlooking the French Broad River, going for long walks to French Broad River Park (or short walks around the neighborhood, if they prefer), and getting more belly rubs than they'll know what to do with.
