“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”


About: I’ve been petsitting on and off for the last 8 years for dogs of all ages and sizes. Most recently I volunteered at a humane society where I worked with all types of dogs. Here, I socialized the animals, bathed them, and walked them. I love making pets feel special as best I can! I work Monday-Friday from 8-4:30. I would be able to come over before and/or after, and show them lots of love, especially in the afternoon/evening! My weekends are normally relaxed so I can be available when you need! I care for pets in a clients home by fitting myself into the animals' environment. I do my best to keep everything the same so the pet(s) will feel like nothing changed! I bring lots of love, fun, and belly rubs with me!

“Giuliana was very professional and upfront about questions and requirements. My dogs and home were very well cared for. Giuliana provided regular updates and pictures to keep us connected during the week.”

“Ginger is very tidy, responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away from my senior dogs. I loved her photos and communication was great! I will definitely reach out to Ginger first for my next trip.”

“Hannah was an excellent sitter and I recommend her very highly. My two dogs got nice walks and their meds were administered properly. They were clearly happy with her company. She also left the house shipshape and remade the bed with fresh sheets. She kept me updated and was very organized. I couldn't have asked for more.”

“Laura is a doglover, my boxer likes her very much. She took him to his favorite dogpark to meet his friends too. Laura is very responsible and is very friendly to work with. Thanks Laura.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. I will be new to the Asheville area, so I am only currently available on weekends. However, I will be available full time once I complete my move in June! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!
“Natasha was great! Sent lots of photo updates and asked any clarifying questions if anything with our dog Townsend popped up. We are grateful for their patience with Townsend, and for their great care of him!”

“Susan took such good care of our guys while house sitting. Our two dogs and cat got so much attention while we were gone. Daily updates with pictures kept our minds at ease. Thanks again.”

“Constance was an excellent house sitter and friend to my sweet Quincy while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. She left my apartment cleaner than when I left. Thank you Constance for your care and attention! Quincy had a great time with you!”

“Sarah did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 4 dogs. She kept constant communication and sent daily pics which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even added to our pups training! We will be booking again when we decide to travel next.”

“Jaqui is so great! She communicated with us and sent plenty of pictures. She took great care of our home leaving it cleaner than she’d found it. She was with our nervous pup for a week and took such good care of her. It was a relief to know she was there taking care of things for us.”

“Kate was absolutely amazing with my french bulldog Moby. Everyday, I received multiple updates, sometimes in the form of pictures or videos! She was very observant of him and his skin condition, which made me feel very comfortable and eased my nerves. Her service was fantastic, and very reliable. Thank you again Kate!!”

“Susan did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. She gave updates often and even came over the day before to get to know the dogs. She understands the mind of the dog! She really took the time to understand the best strategy in taking care of our dogs. She is down to earth and absolutely lovely. Thank you, Susan!”
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 10 years, I’ve provided reliable dog walking and pet sitting services, with extensive experience caring for senior dogs and those with specialized medical needs. My background in the dog food industry has given me a strong understanding of canine nutrition and the importance of meeting each dog’s individual needs. I am deeply committed to providing attentive, well-rounded care—ensuring dogs receive proper exercise, mental stimulation, and support for their overall health, including skin and coat care. I have primarily cared for senior dogs, many from challenging or traumatic backgrounds. This has equipped me with experience handling reactive dogs, as well as those who are deaf, blind, or have varying energy levels. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and an understanding of their unique personality and I am currently a nursing student and provide pet care as my full-time work. I offer a high level of flexibility for house sitting and am available to care for your dog in your home throughout the week. While my academic schedule limits the number of dog walking clients I can take on at once, I do my best to accommodate as many clients as possible I am committed to keeping your dog happy, healthy, and safe at all times. I take a careful, attentive approach on walks and make it a priority to understand each dog’s unique behavior and needs. I ensure proper hydration and always follow owner instructions closely. After losing my own dog while in a sitter’s care, I became deeply committed to providing reliable, trustworthy service so other pet owners feel confident their pets are safe. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority.
“I always know Rocky is in great hands when Hayley is watching him. She’s great at communicating and keeping me looped in on things and is flexible adapting to my requests.”


About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!
