“Our dog took to Ashlee like she was family. She was always there when she planned to be and the communication was excellent. We are so grateful for her professional approach and hometown kindness. Well done!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.
“Amazing! I reached out and they had time to take a booking right away! Great job with our two 70lb dogs on an hour long walk. So thoughtful with leaving us homemade dog treats too. Thank you Michelle and Dale!”
“Jennie is the absolute best! She cares so much and really goes above and beyond to take great care of my pup. Her notes are thorough and funny- I love reading what my pup has been up to!”
“Mallory walked our dogs everyday while we were away. The dogs warmed right up and were excited to get their walk. Mallory was dependable and always walked them for the agreed upon duration, or longer. We will definitely ask Mallory to walk our dogs the next time we’re away.”
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!
“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
About: I have grown up around animals all my life and I love being a pet parent. I enjoy fostering needy animals, especially seniors. I also work at the Humane Society and I am pursuing my degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work part time at the Asheville Humane Society. Working part time allows me plenty of time to drop in and care for your babies. I have experience working with animals and will show them all the love and affection as if they were my own babies. I will help them feel comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience working with all different types of animals and I love to help them come out of their shell.
“AMAZING! Such a great walker! She was so kind and patient with my pup who can sometimes be a bit stubborn! She took the time to make sure my pup was comfortable with her which I really appreciated. One of the best walkers I’ve ever used- highly recommend!!!”
“I'm so happy to have met Alexis! She has been meshing so well with my dog in helping her practice calmness with new situations. I'm happy to see my pup making such good progress. It's just what she needed. Alexis has been wonderfully responsive to suggestions I've wanted to try and she has an innate understanding of animals, as well as a wonderful, calm energy.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. Growing up, I regularly dog sat for family and friends, and I also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry babies. My husband and I share our home with our sweet senior hound, Georgia, and our spunky cat, Loretta, so I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m also an avid plant lover with many plant pets of my own. I’m happy to water plants and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I look forward to meeting you and your pets:) I currently provide pet care full time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets. My schedule allows me to be available for walks, drop in visits, and consistent routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. Because this is my primary focus, i’m also able to accommodate last minute request when available. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout my visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both you and your furry family members.
About: I am a nurse finishing Nurse Practitioner school taking time to focus on studies and family. I love to play and give lovings to them! I am currently finishing my degree to become a family nurse practitioner, so I am pretty open. I am available after 7:30 in the mornings. I have a cat who is very spoiled and loved. I make sure to spend time with pets and make sure they feel loved and safe.
