Professional Care for All Pets!

No need to be reluctant to leave town. I've worked with dogs of all kinds and have a deep appreciation for their distinct needs and personalities. I have a deep fondness for cats too! *Conveniently located 10 Minutes from the Biltmore Estate and just 4 minutes from Asheville's 24/7 Emergency Vet* Over the past decade I have worked on my own as well as for multiple boarders (including grooming!). I'm happy to serve my neighbors and friends and now you! Let me go above and beyond to keep your pets healthy and happy while you're away. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. With me your pet receives one on one attention, care and love!

Trudie was wonderful looking after our cats. She always goes the extra mile, which makes adjusting back to life after travel so much easier!

As always, Trudie has provided excellent service watching our cats. She was flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute. Her photos showed our cats were engaged, affectionate, and received all the love (and brushing) they could ask for. We can’t wait to work with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

My care for your pets depends on your pet's needs. Lets figure out what will make both you and your pets most comfortable and make that happen.

Pets

A typical day

When your pet boards with me this will include a daily walk (unless not preferred), play time (toys, fetch, etc.) and lots of love! Pets are always welcome to snuggle on the couch! I only take one client at a time for boarding and doggy day care so your pets receive one on one attention. If you would like your pup to play with other dogs let me know and I can arrange a play date!

Trudie can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know what will make your pet feel safe and secure. I can also send an optional intake form that lets me know the best way to make sure all your pets needs are met. NOTE: I do have cats in my home. Let me know if you have any concerns about this. When necessary, I can provide separate spaces for the cats and dogs. I have gates I can also use to separate the rooms. If your dog hyper fixates on cats or has a strong prey drive/is aggressive towards cats, it is likely not a good fit. Most dogs that I board get excited to see cats but ignore them when they are not in the same room.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
