Professional Care for All Pets!
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Trudie was a fantastic companion and caretaker to our two cats! She provided tons of playtime and cuddles, which these two hyper-affectionate gatos very much need. Sent us tons of photos, which we loved. The cats were more active and excited than I'd ever seen them when we returned (they're usually really down when we leave, and take a day to come back to life -- they were playing within 5 minutes of us walking through the door!) I'm so grateful to have found Trudie, who really seems to love her furry clients. Will definitely be booking her services again!
Went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies. Very happy we were able to secure her services!
We have moved further away from Trudie than we used to live, but we go out of our way to use her for boarding our dogs because she is *so* good. She sends tons of pics and our dogs always look beyond comfy and happy. They relax on her couch, play in her spacious and green yard, and get tons of love all day long. One of our dogs has specific medication needs and Trudie handles that with ease and care. Our dogs don't want to have her house - they adore her! We can't recommend Trudie enough. ❤️❤️
Always a pleasure to work with! Makes us feel safe when we're away!

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.
Home
Information Trudie H. would like to know about your pet
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.
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!
