Loving Home with Fenced in Yard

My husband and I both work from home and have a large, fenced-in yard. We have one dog and two cats of our own and have previously fostered both dogs and cats with the Asheville Humane Society. Not only am I a huge animal lover, but I also am well versed in dog behavior and can administer medicine if needed. If you’d like references, please let me know and I’d be happy to provide some for you. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own, including lots of belly rubs, play and treat time and of course, I’ll send you photos so you know your dog or cat is okay. We are conveniently located 15 minutes from Downtown Asheville and 10 minutes from Black Mountain. If you’re visiting Asheville and need recommendations on where to eat and things to do, let me know! My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention during their stay. We have many dog beds, toys, and big windows that many Rover dogs have enjoyed looking out of. We have a large, fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Our two cats have been with us since they were just a few weeks old (they are foster fails), so they grew up with our dogs and are used to dogs.

We love having Michelle check on Leonard. And she takes the best photos of him!

My dog LOVES Michelle and Alex! They care for her so well, and send me the sweetest pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate their flexibility and communication. I would absolutely recommend them!

We always book Michelle when we’re away for a couple of nights. Leonard (our cat) knows her well, I’m sure. 😀

We continue to hire Michelle to take care of all of our fur-babies! She is reliable, friendly & communicative! Both our our shy kitties love her & let her pet them without hesitation. Our older boy has been extremely sick this summer, and Michelle has done a fantastic job keeping him on-schedule with his meds!
