About: I have a hard time sitting inside on a nice day and understand your puppy probably does, too! As a mom to several anxious kitties, I understand that every animal comes with their own needs and personality. I'm happy to spend time walking, playing, snuggling, or giving space as needed. I'm a teacher with two weeks off in January and two months off in June/July. I have ample time to give your little friends a little extra love. I'm especially attuned to furry friends who, in their excitement, are eager to slip out the door as soon as someone comes in! I'm very mindful of keeping everyone on an leash and under constant supervision as needs be.

“Alyssa was so great! She sent me pictures and updates about my dogs each time she visited them. She spent time with them loving on them and feeding them just as I had explained and shown her. Next time I need a dog sitter, I will be sure to contact her. Thank you for taking such good care of my boys.”


“We were so excited to meet Valerie. It’s hard to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pets with. When I first met her I knew I had nothing to worry about. Our two pups were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend you hiring Valerie. I will definitely use her again.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and devoted pet owner, I understand that pets are more than just animals—they're family. While I may not have years of professional pet-sitting experience, I've spent countless hours caring for pets of friends and family, always treating them as if they were my own. My dog, Jack, is my right-hand man, and in my home, pets are welcomed with love, comfort, and plenty of adventure. Whether it's lounging on the couch, snuggling in bed, or exploring the state park for walks and rides, your pet will be treated like family—because that's exactly what they are. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the ability to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday walks, or just extra cuddles throughout the day, I make sure every pet feels loved and important. Since I’m home most of the time, I can provide a consistent, comfortable environment where your pet gets the attention they deserve—just like I do with my own dog, Jack. From outdoor adventures to cozy downtime, their routine will feel natural, stress-free, and full of love. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I provide a secure and loving environment where your pet can feel at ease. If they’re staying with me, they’ll always be under my watch unless I need to step out briefly—during which they can either roam freely with my dog, Jack, or be safely crated based on your preference. I have plenty of experience with crate training and have a crate available if needed. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would in their own home.

About: I am a registered nurse and mom in the WNC area. I grew up back home in Ohio with my golden doodle and I helped train him and I do have experience giving medications with him because he takes glucosamine and hemp for his joints now that he is older. I have also helped watch my friends and families dogs over the years. I am now living near Asheville. I can’t have dogs at my place because I currently don’t have a fenced in yard and am renting but I can always come over to your place to take care of your dog(s). I have house sat and pet sat for people through this app before while they go on vacation and let me know if you would like their reference. I am a RN who works part time in Asheville. Let me know if you need certain dates and I am more than happy to either walk or take care of your pet overnights or on holidays. I could take your dog to the nearby park by my house and I love walking so we could go on walks on the trail.
