Let's go for a hike!

Hello! I’m Golda, I love going on hikes in and around Asheville area and would love to take along your furry pal. I have dog training experience and am confident with all sizes and temperaments. I am a dedicated public school teacher who’s also an avid animal lover. I ran a small homestead, caring for a wide range of livestock for seven years. While I spend the school year fostering young minds, I’m excited to offer my services as a dependable pet and farm animal caregiver as often as possible!

Golda took awesome care of our girl Jelly! Great communication and a really sweet family. Jelly seemed so comfortable as soon as we dropped her off and seemed like she had made herself right at home when we came to pick her up. We will definitely book her again the next time we’re out of town!

Booked last minute and Golda was kind and caring. She watched our dog Riley while we went out to dinner. She was professional and stayed in communication. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Liberty was well taken care of and was so happy when we pulled up playing in the water hose stream with Golda. We are very thankful that she had fun and was loved on for the time that we were gone.

She was wonderful with our 2 little pups. Mojo has diabetes, and she fed him on schedule with his insulin. They felt right at home with her relaxed vibe.

I was so glad I chose Golda and her family to look after my puppy! She came home happy and calm. Grateful she got some socialization with children and another pup. Highly recommended !
