About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal intuitive. I have worked with all types of pets providing assistance with special care in addition to walks and general care. Care only provided in your home. At this time I do not have a pet companion but miss them dearly. Once I have an established routine in the area I will be in search of another furry walking companion. I am relocating back to the WNC / Landrum area after being a nomad for 5 years. I am available throughout the Saluda, Hendersonville and Landrum area and am doing human caregiving throughout the WNC area. If your dog agrees I am open to taking them on local hikes. Pet care in your home only; I have worked as a house sitter/pet sitter in NC for several years in addition to personal caregiver for 15+ years.

“Really great care! It was pouring down rain when Beth & Rob got here so they took my dogs somewhere dry to run out their energy . Really appreciate their care & reliability! I would definitely use them again.”

About: I have not only been professionally pet sitting for one year, but I have been a lifetime pet owner. I specialize in exotic pets such as rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I have been a cat owner for 13 years and I am very familiar with German Shepherds. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique. I am currently a full-time student and I work a part-time job. I am available Friday - Sunday, and certain times on weekdays, except for Tuesday. Please reach out for more specific scheduling. I will always ensure that front and back doors, fences, and yard gates are closed/secure at all times so your pet does not escape. If your pet is required to stay in a crate, I will always make sure the crate is clean and secure. Dogs will always wear a harness with a leash to ensure extra safety.

“Alexis took great care of Maple and Arlo. Many pictures sent during her drop-in visits, with detailed updates. Great communication the entire time. We came home to very happy dogs! Grateful we found someone we can trust.”

“My cat is always super skiddish of people, but they both came right out to Krystin when she stopped to check on them. We were both so surprised! I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent to me as well!! Thanks again!! I’ll be using her again to watch them for me soon.”

“Robin has been great for the multiple requests we've made. She followed instructions, clarified unclarities, and shared multiple pictures per visit of our cats and items, and helped picking up mails and deliveries, all of which are reassuring a lot!”

“Ashlee took great care of my dog and was communicative. She made me feel at ease using a pet sitter for the first time. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!”

“Amie did a fantastic job with our two dogs. We actually had to change the times of her visits after the first day because of poor planning on our parts. Amie was able and willing to roll with the changes. Will be using her services again!”

About: As I partner with pet parents, I look forward to welcoming and honoring each pet's spirit and unique needs. Growing up with animals taught me how to truly listen to these sacred beings and notice the subtle ways they communicate. I can promise that I will show up for every animal trusted in my care the way I'd want someone to show up for mine: with patience, presence, and a whole lot of love. I am an artist with the ability to easily move my schedule around. I look forward to walking, boarding, and supporting pet parents with any care needs that arise. I have a fenced in yard and a clean, quiet home. When caring for dogs, I look for opportunities to engage in play as often as possible both to bond with your fur baby and to ensure they are having fun!

About: I’ve had at least one pet in my life since I was born. Mostly cats, we had 7 cats at one point, we now have 5. We used to have 2 dogs, but unfortunately one named Brownie passed recently after a very long fight with heart worms. I’m used to all kinds pets with different personalities, ages, sizes and medical issues. One of our cats Campbell lived to be 20 years old. We fostered one cat who was blind in one eye, and another we adopted was an older cat that was both blind and deaf. Awhile ago one of our cat Penny ended up very sick and we had to give her 2 shots a day and multiple medications, she is now a healthy and happy kitty. I have also dog sat for my sisters 2 cane corsos more times than I can count, so I am comfortable around big dogs. I am currently working part time, but I am going to have to end my job there soon due to it being too laborious on my scoliosis and am planning to dedicate my time to taking care of your fuzzy family instead. I eventually will be doing Rover full time, but for now I will only be available on Thursdays and fridays. In my home, we take our dog on walks 2-3 times a day, always on leash. We also clean our litter boxes at least once a day, and we have multiple litter boxes around our house. We have 2 set meal times with our animals that consist of mostly wet food for a healthy diet and some dry food to help clean their teeth (also any medicine they need). They also have ‘treat time’ every night before bed where we throw treats around the house for them to chase. All of our animals have been fixed, has their shots and is given flea and tick medicine. We also have tons of different toys for all our babies, any with string or feathers is put away when not in use, and is only used with supervision. We also keep our house as clean as possible since our dog (even though he has like 100 toys lol) likes to get into things and chew them, so we are very conscious about that.

About: As a person who has been the primary care taker of my pets since I was 8, I know the right way to take care of animals and know how hard it can be to find quality care for our furry friends. With 2 cats of my own and with several previously owned dogs, I know I can provide excellent care to all kinds of animals! I also have a Veterinary Assisting degree, so also being able to alert owners of any health issues to be wary of is something I take seriously! Pet care is a daily task, as such I am able to do daily walks and be able to do other care tasks throughout the day so that your pet feels enriched and loved even when you’re away. I understand dog behavior to a good degree as I studied it while in school to earn my degree, so being able to safely walk a dog even if they are reactive is something I feel comfortable with.
