About: Hello pet parents, I'm Anna! I have been working professionally with pets for the past 6 years. I have worked as a veterinary assistant and have interned at multiple animal shelters. My most recent job was as an Animal Care Specialist at the SPCA of Wake County, a nonprofit animal rescue. With my time as a veterinary assistant, I am comfortable giving medications of any kind, including insulin, and taking care of seniors. I am very adept at reading canine and feline body language and will strive to make your animal's experience as stress free as possible! This summer I have an open/flexible schedule. When my nursing school starts in the fall, my schedule will be more limited. I update my availability on a regular basis. I am unable to provide boarding at my residence due to my apartment’s restrictions. I am happy to visit your fur babies at your home for walks and house sitting. I have had extensive training through my jobs on how to safely walk and interact with dogs. I am also trained on interacting with cats (even the spicy ones) and have two myself.

“Millie was great with Bruin. He was very excited to see her and was nice and tired after their walk! Looking forward to having Millie back for more walks with Bruin!A”

About: I grew up riding horses and spending most of my free time at the barn, where I eventually started working and gained years of experience with all kinds of animals, especially dogs. I’ve house-sat countless times for my former trainer, taking care of her four Dobermans, along with other pets and farm animals. When she began breeding Dobermans, I was hands-on in raising several litters, giving me extensive puppy care experience. This past summer I was the head caretaker and instructor for five Golden Doodle puppies at a girls’ summer camp. I managed their feeding schedules, socialization, crate training, and daily care. I also have a strong foundation in animal health and behavior from both school and hands-on work in animal-focused environments. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to older dogs who just want some gentle company. I’m confident, reliable, and genuinely love being around dogs. I’d be honored to care for yours like they’re my own! I attend Warren Wilson College, which is a work college meaning I work 12 hours a week on campus in addition to my classes. Despite that, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to consistently prioritize pet care. My mornings are free until 10am, and my evenings open up after 6pm throughout the week. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday, and I can board or house-sit over the weekends (Friday–Sunday). Because I’m used to balancing school, work, and animal care, I’m reliable and great at time management. I truly enjoy building pet care into my routine- it’s something I look forward to! I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs as much as possible. My approach to pet care always depends on what makes your animal feel safest and most comfortable. For cats, I follow their lead- whether that means quiet companionship, lots of play, or giving them space. I’m happy to stick to any routine they’re used to, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for in your home. With dogs, I’m naturally very active and love spending time outdoors. There’s a beautiful creek and plenty of trails near my school, and- if you’re comfortable with it- I’d love to take your pup out for some light adventuring and enrichment! I’m also totally happy to stick to their normal walking route and routine if that’s what they’re used to. I’m attentive, always respectful of your preferences, and always focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and well loved.

“Marti was very kind and professional during the meet with Sadie. Sadie loved her. Sadie loves to sniff while walking and Marti was thoughtful enough to go slow and careful. We will definitely hire her again when the need arises. Thanks Marti.”

About: I’ve had and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. My neighbors call on me as they know how much I love their pets as my own. I have experience with training and had an Australian Labradoodle as well as cat. I am not quite ready to get a new dog but would love to spend time with some furry friends with my current flexibility! I work from home, my husband works a lot and my 16 year old is busy being a teenager. I’m very flexible and can do doggy walks, overnights stays and even host dogs at my house. I have no current pets. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for walking dogs! Working from home allows plenty of time for extra snuggles and playing.

About: Nothing lights me up more than spending time with animals. I have experience with animals of all personalities, ages and health issues. I am patient, gentle, kind, and love to be active with my highly energetic furry friends. As a pet sitter, I am very attentive to both you and your pets. I'm happy to take them on adventures, and to send regular updates (with pictures!). I'm located in Swannanoa and am available for services from East Asheville to Black Mountain. I have two of my own fur babies and I love meeting new friends! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! M-F I work remotely and can flex my hours based around what's needed. I would not be able to do more than just walks or short drop-in visits. I can do longer drop-ins on the weekends. I care for your pets like I care for mine. Completely spoil, making sure their needs are met, engaging them in stimulating activities, and getting their energy out.

“Lauren responded quickly and was very accommodating for our short notice request. We loved the communication throughout the day including photos of our happy dogs. We highly recommend!”

About: My style is very gentle, understanding, and affectionate, though I am also very clear with boundaries and behaviors. I was a foster parent for Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico for three years. I have special experience with pregnant dogs and cats, newborns, and I have a big soft spot for senior pets. I am an avid hiker and walker, so your babies will get plenty of exercise! I am a retired childbirth educator, doula, and Hypnotherapist. I am blessed to have my days to myself and am home all day except for errands and hikes. We live in Sun City, Georgetown, Texas. Since I'm retired, my schedule is wide open. Lana, my partner, works full time from home. Our two little 5 year old poodle mixes are used to welcoming and entertaining new furry friends, since they have "fostered" many dogs over the years.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets—including two large dog breeds and multiple cats. I truly have a huge heart for animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I understand the needs of bigger dogs as well as the unique personalities of cats, and I’m comfortable handling a variety of temperaments and routines. I’m also a full-time mom to an eight-month-old, which has only deepened my sense of responsibility, nurturing, and attentiveness. Pet sitting is a meaningful way for me to help support my family financially while doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals like they’re part of my family. 🐾 As a full-time mom working from home, I have flexible daytime availability and can easily accommodate regular pet check-ins and walks throughout the day. I’m home-based, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention rather than rushed visits. With enough advance notice, overnight house sitting is absolutely an option as well, allowing me to provide extended, attentive care when needed. I care for pets with the same attention, respect, and love I give my own. I follow each pet’s established routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions—to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I prioritize calm, low-stress visits, keeping their space clean and their pet happy, exercised, and well cared for. Whether it’s active play, gentle companionship, or simply being a reassuring presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my family.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I’m a pre-veterinary major and love all sorts of creatures. Want to care for animals while in school! I’ve dog and cat sat many times, dog walked, bathed, fed, and more for many different people such as friends, family, and neighbors. When at home, I not only spend time with my two dogs, but I also help to care for them by feeding them, giving them their medicine, taking them on walks, giving them baths, and just loving on them. I have a special touch with animals and understand that trust between the animal is key. I let them come to me and adjust at their pace. Always approach with love and care and treat them how I do my own!

About: I love pretty much anything with 4 legs. I have great patience with puppies, and a soft spot for older dogs with specialty care needs. I’m able to give medication and cater to most schedule requirements. My current job is part time during the earlier hours of the day, this allows me to be available for early afternoons and evenings. Also, because I work close to home I am able to provide regular morning routines that your pet may be used to. My goal is to care for your pet just as well as you do! If they are used to crates or simply being out in your home, that’s what they’ll experience with me. I don’t have pets of my own so yours will be sure to get my undivided attention. I live in a quiet neighborhood with safe roads to walk on, and trails close by for higher energy pets! My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for driving to and from your home if necessary, and a chance to give your dog the attention they need.
