Former NYC dogwalker in Asheville!

Pet care experience

*Please check my daycare/boarding specifications and calendar availability before sending a booking request. Thank you!^ In our home away from home, your pup will get loving, one-on-one attention from an experienced dog-care provider and lifelong dog owner. Formerly a NYC dogwalker and dogsitter, I've been in Asheville since 2005. My extended family is also in Asheville. I am available to care for dogs of any age or size. I have cared for puppies who were just being housetrained all the way to senior dogs. I have cared for dogs as small as Yorkies and dogs as large as Newfoundlands. I can care for your dog in our North Asheville home conveniently located just one mile from downtown. Our home has a large fenced yard. If your pup stays with us, he/she will ideally be crate trained, but this is not a requirement. In order to ensure individualized care, please note that I usually host only one dog at a time for boarding or day care. Exceptions can be made for dogs who live together or by special request. I am not able to host dogs with separation anxiety, pit bulls, or dogs that shed heavily, e.g. Great Pyrenees, Akitas, Huskies, Australian Shepherds, etc. for boarding or day care.

Laird watched my 7 month old golden retriever Kai for 2 days while I was away at work. Throughout my work day I was updated with pictures and videos of Kai having a great time. Both times I went to pick Kai up not only was he worn out from all the fun but he was so happy. That lets me know he enjoyed his time so much! I would definitely recommend Laird to anyone looking for a quick doggy babysitter! Will be back for sure!

Laird was an amazing rover for our pup! She is so attentive and sends you pupdates throughout the day so you are never in the dark. We will definitely be choosing Laird again!

My sweet 8 mo old golden retriever, Cedar, had two big days of fun doing daycare at Laird’s home Saturday and Sunday! Beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room for the pups to play! Cedar came home happy and sleepy. Loved the great communication and photos and videos throughout the day of Cedar living his best life.

I've been using Laird for years and my pup loves going to stay with her. She runs to the door as soon as we get out of the car and doesn't even look back at me as she runs in to play with Kuma. Laird is very accommodating and is great about giving updates and sending photos. I 100% recommend!
