Pet care experience
West Asheville Pet Sitting & Care
I’m Kristin Hendrix and I live in West Asheville, 10 minutes from downtown, the Biltmore, and the North Carolina Arboretum. I have been pet sitting for twenty something years, full time since 2020. I am a ceramicist and a River Arts District Artist out of my home studio. I make pottery and hang out with doggos. I have a large fenced in back yard and the dogs love catching some rays on my back deck.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristin took great care of my dog. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures! Her responsiveness and flexibility on pick-up and drop-off timing was much appreciated as well. I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing pet sitting care in Asheville. Thanks, Kristin!!
Kristin had better communication and response time than I have ever seen! Our dog had a blast with her for a little less then 24hr and got to sleep in a bed with someone which made me so happy. We got pictures and updates and our little boy got to socialize with other fur babies. He must have felt at ease because he ate dinner which he usually doesn't do with a disrupted routine. Location was perfect (about 10 min from RAD). We are so grateful we found Kristin and will definitely use her again!
Kristin took perfect care of Willie and sent fun updates. I highly recommend her!
We contacted Kristen last minute for a daycare stay for our boy Gus. She responded immediately and the visit went really well. Gus seemed happy and content when we picked him up that evening. Thank you, Kristen! We will reach out again when needed :)
Im so glad we found Kristin. She was so kind and caring with our old dog, who isn’t used to being without her humans. I have nothing but compliments and would happily book her again.
Kristin was a pleasure to work with. My dog had little contacts with other dogs. She acclimated my dog to other dogs and took good care of her

Schedule
I primarily take small to medium dogs, most of my customers have been regulars since 2020 so everyone knows each other and they welcome new friends. I love companion dogs that like a lap to sit on, I have a quiet room for dogs that need their own space, and elderly dogs that just want a peaceful environment to nap. I don’t mind giving meds or little guys that are used to pee pads. I have crates, toys, and dog bowls available as well. I have a season pass to The Biltmore Estate so if you would like a drop off after a wine tasting or brewery crawl, that is available.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fenced in yard and often leave the sliding glass door open so dogs have a lot of access to play and potty.
Pets
A typical day
I have a lot of success keeping dogs from having separation anxiety while in my care. I have a yard full of toys and we got out several times a day to chase balls and do laps around the yard.

- I am used to special dogs, as mine are as well! If they have some quirks or need medicine, that’s no problem. I treat every guest like I would my own spoiled rotten pups.
