Highlights
Pet care experience
Many years pet sitting experience
I’ve been sitting dogs at my Florida home for many years. I moved to Asheville two years ago for work and now I’m mostly retired. I live in North Asheville in a small apartment and available to house and pet sit. Having boarded dogs in my own house for many years you can bet I will give your home utmost respect and your pets the best care and companionship. I’m mostly looking for one week plus sitting jobs, give or take. I can sit most locations from Weaverville down to Hendersonville
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
All instructions by owner for their pet care will be closely followed and respected. I’m sensitive about pets food needs and won’t feed them human food or let them up on the furniture if not allowed. Cat litter boxes will be cleaned daily. Longer stays will include brushing and baths for the dogs.
Ratings and reviews
We were worried since Rowdy has never been away from us. Rowdy did fabulous. He loved the fenced back yard. We were updated with photos of him totally relaxed and enjoying himself. He was clearly well cared for and very relaxed when we picked him up -- I think he's a little bored with us lol. Cannot say enough good things about the vibe of their home and yard and they clearly love animals. Plus Rowdy got to play with their friends dogs. We would not hesitate to use them in the future. Thanks so much Steve.
Steve was awesome. He kept me up to date with Ginger and send me plenty of photos. Super easy to communicate and always answered my text. I would definitely board Ginger with Steve again. She seem to have had an amazing time. Thanks again for watching Ginger.

Steve was very easy to work with and my dog Pepper had a good first stay with him. Communications were good and Steve made immediate arrangements for a meet and greet. Pepper seemed comfortable with Steve and his home quickly. There was a nice fenced backyard that Pepper could roam around in and explore. Pepper is used to being allowed on the furniture at home and Steve allows this also in his home. During the stay I got a daily picture and update. Pepper was happy and healthy when I picked her up. We will likely use Steve again. Thanks for taking good care of Pepper Steve!

Just picked Oliver up from a 14 day stay with Steve. He was healthy, clean, happy to see us, but also seemed quite content and at home at Steve's house. Oliver is very calm on returning home, unlike after a previous stay at a kennel. It is clear that he was quite comfortable with Steve. He got a lot of love and care while we were away and we wouldn't hesitate for a minute to board him with Steve again. Great experience.

Thanks to Steve for taking our dog when our regular sitter was away. We had a meet and greet prior to the stay, and this allowed us, and our dog, to become familiar with Steve and two other small dogs he was watching. Steve kept Remy for 4 days and our pup made himself at home. I know he enjoyed being a couch potato with Steve and Andrew, but got some nice walks as well. I checked in daily, and Steve was always immediately responsive. Thanks for letting us have a worry-free trip!

We cannot say enough good things about the level of care Steve provided for our dog, Chelsea. Our pet is a senior with health issues that require medication and lots of TLC. We are new to the Venice area and were very apprehensive leaving Chelsea for an extended stay. We met with Steve and AJ and immediately felt a calmness and caring attitude that put us at ease. Chelsea did great and we are so happy to have found a nurturing environment for our dog.

Schedule
Walk dogs. Play with the dogs and cats and keep them content. And hang out on watch lots of TV together. Since I’m mostly retired I have lots of free time to spend with the pets.
