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.

Boots had such a great time! He's a nervous guy but Kristin made him feel right at home and took such good care of him. We will definitely be back!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2026

Kristin was wonderful! We reached out with a last-minute request as our pet sitter for a wedding fell through and she was extremely accommodating. Our dog, Trooper, had never been watched by anyone outside of family before so we were a little nervous but he was in great hands! We would highly recommend!

Kristin was amazing with both our dogs ranging from 1 to 15 years old. Both seemed so happy and energized when I picked them up. So happy to have found her!

Kristin gave great updates and pictures and I quickly felt comforted my dog was well taken care of. The peace of mind was so appreciated. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
