Doggy Day Care Murchison

About: Have always had lots of animals growing up and as an adult. Animals seem to feel comfortable around me. I enjoy their presence and will give them lots of love. I have a fairly open schedule. I work part time as a CNA. Live in a rural area but can travel to surrounding cities if needed. We have hosted dogs in our home, outside in our yard or have gone to their home. Available for walks. Also have an outdoor kennel if your dog is not friendly.

About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue sanctuary for 10+ years. As a caretaker my duties at the sanctuary require demanding physical labor, housekeeping, and responsibilities of supervision over animals and other volunteers. We had over 100+ different types of animals and always have been around dogs and cats! They are my joy! I work 2 full time jobs but I have mornings, evenings and weekends open! I am looking for something that will fit into that kind of schedule. I have no animals at home. It is safe and a very clean environment. I am the most respectful and will aways listen to what you and your pets need.

“Liessy, my mini-Schnauzer has serious separation anxiety. Miranda got down on the ground with Liessy and gave her a few treats and Liessy went along with this very well. While I was away, Miranda sent several photos showing my pup playing and getting along with a Golden Retriever. She's normally a bit leery of large dogs. Miranda knows how to make the newcomer comfortable. I'll definitely use her again when I'm in the Asheville area.”

About: I have been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, and birds. When I moved to the U.S, I lived in the country side with many dogs and thousand of birds (literally). Now, I have a little Chihuahua mix; he is like my baby. I also help my friends sitting their dogs when they are out of town. I love animals; I like to play with them and give them a lot of attention. I have experience administering medication to pets either orally or injectable . I am educated and trustful person who will respect your home and your pets. I am able to pass a background check if it is required. I have a cellphone and my own car. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. Our jobs are very flexible, which means we can take your dog for walks during the day. I have a very friendly old Chihuahua. My house is big, comfy and very clean. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there's no traffic.

“Rick is very understanding and patient with dogs and overall a great person. His house and yard is very clean and set up perfectly for doggie play. He is reliable and was able to accommodate taking care of our Nazca last minute, and for this were are very appreciative!”

“Kristin was wonderful! We reached out with a last-minute request as our pet sitter for a wedding fell through and she was extremely accommodating. Our dog, Trooper, had never been watched by anyone outside of family before so we were a little nervous but he was in great hands! We would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I got into pet grooming at an early age and have worked and managed in a few different salons around Asheville, NC. I have extensive knowledge of animals such as keeping things sanitary and following strict schedules, diets and plans to fit the animals needs. I am currently available any day and am only accepting drop in visits and bathing at this time. I am new to Rover so I am looking for my first bookings. I can provide references of animals I have cared for previously. I can stick to a strict diet plan and bathe if needed. I will keep your home tidy during the visits and follow any instructions that are left with me.

About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of theirs pets in different ways. Depending on the circumstances, I taken care of dogs at my house where they can run and play in our big fenced yard. Other times, I’ve stayed at friend’s house to keep their dog comfortable in his own home. Lastly, I’ve helped by stopping by and checking on pets few times a day or as needed. I work remotely with a flexible schedule during the week, and most Fridays off giving me plenty of free time to help you with your pet. I have a big fenced yard where the dogs can run free and safe when they need fresh air, and a big comfy space indoors perfect to take naps and keep me company while I work.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. I recently said goodbye to my own dog after 18 wonderful years together, and that experience deepened my understanding of the love, patience, and attentiveness our dogs deserve at every stage of life. I’m currently offering dog boarding in my home only. I’m not accepting walks or drop-in visits at this time. This allows me to be fully present and create a calm, attentive environment for the dogs in my care. Friends and family often call me an “animal whisperer” because of my intuitive connection with animals. I spent two years volunteering at an animal rescue in Colorado, working with dogs, cats, and even rescued farm animals, which gave me experience with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, or a senior needing extra support, I focus on creating a safe, peaceful space where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and preferences so they feel as at home as possible. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to be available for your dog’s needs throughout most of the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular attention, potty breaks, and a calm, consistent presence. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate different routines, whether your dog is active and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive home environment where your dog can truly relax. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with a peaceful indoor space designed to keep dogs comfortable and at ease. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise throughout the day and keep a close eye on each dog’s needs and comfort level. I take time to understand your dog’s routine, temperament, and preferences so they feel secure and at home. I keep my space clean, low-stress, and structured, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or crate routines if needed. My goal is for your dog to feel as close to home as possible while they’re here.

“Frankie had a blast here and was proper tired after spending the day with them. If I’m ever back in Asheville I know where to take the pup when needed!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them! I currently have an 8-year-old pug who’s a beloved member of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and gentle care. I understand how important it is to give each dog the attention, love, and routine they’re used to, and I treat every pup like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy incorporating dogs into my everyday life. I love going on long walks and having a furry companion by my side, whether we're exploring the neighborhood or just relaxing on the couch for some snuggles. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve throughout the day. I strive to create a home environment that is safe, comfortable, and stress-free for dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and part of the family. I also place a strong emphasis on healthy, nutritious eating and always follow the pet parent’s guidance when it comes to diet and feeding routines. Every dog has unique needs, and I do my best to meet them with kindness, attention, and consistency.

About: I’ve been animal sitting for my friends and family for over 10 years, and I grew up around all types of animals. I genuinely enjoy caring for them and even foster animals in my spare time. I have experience with multiple dogs, including those with medical needs. I work remotely during the week and off during the weekend. I am a morning person so up usually very early and flexible during the workday to make sure they get the proper care and attention. I make sure that they are given my full attention, love and care.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school. That’s 20 years! I love taking care of pets so much. They help show us unconditional love and remind us of the lighter aspects of life. When I visit your pet they become my best friend. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I’m very present with them and give them loads of attention and affection. I am great with sticking to any training or routines you may have for your pets. I’m very flexible with the needs of each pet. I live a very active lifestyle so long walks are a plus. I love being outside in nature with pets. I have a lot of experience also working with senior pets and the extra care they may need. Some of my favorite pet clients are the ones that seem hesitant at first but then come out of their shells. Don't worry while your away your pets are in good hands. I’ll make your pet feel safe, taken care of and have fun while you are not there. 🌟❤️ I am a freelance artist that works online so I have plenty of time to stay with your pets during the day for overnights visits. I always make an effort to be by your pet while staying with them. I focus on their needs and give them loads of love and attention whenever I get a chance.
