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: My years of pet care experience range from animal rescue to boarding facilities to volunteer work to doc training and to hospital care so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I work in the animal field, and so it is a daily job for me not to mention taking care of my own personal animals My animals are my children, and I would treat others animals the same way. I believe in being respectful of people’s opinions and the ways that they take care of their animals.

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.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for four dogs and three cats over the years, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and providing a loving environment to keep pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a full-time community college student and work part-time, but I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Their well-being is my priority, and I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re away! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by providing attentive care, following their routine, and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, stress-free environment, give them plenty of attention, and respect any special needs or preferences. Their well-being is my top priority!

Dogs make life better, and I am particularly fond of medium and large breeds. I work at Motown CrossFit in Morganton and many people know our wonderful gym dog, Maple! I work part time each day from 6-10. I’m a performing artist as well, so most of my evening is free aside from rehearsals and live shows!

About: I have owned, grown up with, and taken care of animals since I could walk. The day that I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I actually went and picked up my Pitty MIx from the shelter and we were best friends for the best 11 years. Animals are misunderstood in so many different ways, and require patience, attention to detail, and most importantly love. I am very driven, schedule oriented, can multitask, and observant in everything that I do. I have a reliable source of transportation, my own home in Morganton, and will always be just a phone call/text away. I have taken care of all age ranges from puppies to senior dogs, because I have owned dogs from birth until their final days. Its not the easiest thing some days but it is the most rewarding. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday 0600-1630, and off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pet care fits into my routine because I have a dog of my own that requires daily walks and interactions with others at daycare. I have a fenced in back yard, that I am able to watch from at all times. My dog is allowed on the furniture and also goes with me on car rides. My dog is everything to me and is reflective of that in my pride with other animals. They're family!

About: I know how important it is for animals to feel at home, even when their family is away. I enjoy being able to be there for them so they don't have to be boarded. Animals are a special part of every family. I am flexible and work around my pets schedules so they feel at home while their family is away from home. I come to them so they don't have to leave home. I come right to the animal's home so they never have to leave. It makes me smile to know they feel safe in their normal environment while their family must be away.

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.
