Dog Walkers in Pisgah Forest, NC

About: I've had all different kinds of pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks) - and have lived on homesteads with farm animals too. Prior to making a home in beautiful Brevard, I was full time house and pet sitting for 1.5 years while traveling. I completed about 30 assignments with glowing off the charts 5 star reviews. House/pet sitting is one of the the most special things I've ever done. You can be sure your pet will get consistent reliable care by a trustworthy caregiver. There will be no shortage of affection and attention. Daily walks in local parks, trails, or simply around your neighborhood, playtime in the yard or the dog park, and lots of cuddle time too if they enjoy and appreciate that. I sincerely enjoy taking the time to get to know you and your beloved pet, and learning the details and nuances of their care instructions so there is no interruption in/to their routine while in my care. I have experience with senior pets as well. Please note that my 5 year old does accompany me on dog walks, drop in/day visits, and overnights. They are incredible with animals and under my supervision the entire time, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a booking request. Thank you! I'm a homeschooling mother. I have curated our lifestyle such that we have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I always welcome an opportunity to get outside for a walk and play time. Please be assured your pets will be lovingly attended to while under my care. Please note that I do overnight pet sits with my 5 yr old. I supervise them at all times, and they are wonderful with animals, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a request for booking. I regard pet and house sitting as an honor and responsibility. Caring for what people love and cherish most. I bring my heart and presence to each assignment, insuring your pets are always in a safe loving and enriching environment, with an attentive and trustworthy caregiver. I sincerely enjoy taking the time to get to know you and your beloved pet, and learning the details and nuances of their care instructions to minimize interruption to their routine while in my care.

About: I have been a professional animal sitter for the past 15 years in Brevard NC and we've pretty much seen it all. I have a passion for animals and I have wonderful references. Some of my clients have been with me for all 15 of those years. I have sat for homes with cats, birds, dogs, rodents, reptiles, horses, goats, and chickens. I have one large sweet golden retriever who can stay with my brother on his farm if it is an issue for your pet(s). My husband and I work as a team to ensure all goes smoothly. Come meet us or give us a call to set up an interview and see why people come back! Hope to hear from you, Betsy Watson

About: I’ve been a veterinarian for 5 years, driven by a love of animals! I grew up with and have always shared my life had dogs. Sadly, my dog passed away some months and I’m really missing the company. I am new to Brevard and would love to explore the beautiful scenery with your dog! I’m currently between jobs and very flexible with hours and days of the week so I can adapt to you and your dog’s needs and normal routine. As a veterinarian I am very comfortable with all breeds and ages of dogs, as well as with those that may need special care. As a former user of Rover for pet sitting myself, I fully appreciate and understand how hard it is to leave them for hours and find someone you can trust with them as well as your home.

About: I have a full time job and the place that I live does not allow pets, but I would LOVE to take care of yours!! I have taken care of and walked dogs of all sizes. I have experience giving pills and shots to senior dogs and training and exercising puppies. I love every dog the same. I enjoy getting up early and walking around 6:30am-7:30am. I have school during the day with some breaks in between. Then, exercise and walk at night after school. I can come to your house to take your fur baby depending on what service you are choosing. I will leave your house cleaner than you left it!

“Maria met and exceeded expectations across-the-board and was a consummate professional. At no time did I ever feel anything other than complete confidence in the level of care she was providing my animals in my absence. I hope to be able to have her take care of my pets in the future and I highly recommend her without reservation for any pet sitting or pet care needs.”

About: I love animals, and have had all kinds of pets my entire life. I’ve gained lots of experience with dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles and fish. I had my last dog, Raya for 8 years. I don’t think I’ll be able to get another pet for a long time, so for now I’m very happy taking care of yours as my own. I am a responsible, mature, respectful person who will be patient, kind, and attentive to your much loved pets. It’s just who I am. I’m happy to meet prior to the house sitting as I know letting someone into your house is a big deal as well as trusting them to care for your pets! Upon request, I can provide many excellent references from over the years. My schedule is very flexible, just give me a few days notice if you're looking for overnight care. I'm also available for dogs walks daily! I currently provide drop in, and overnight services in clients homes. And I am committed to not only making your dog feel safe and comfortable, but also providing a fun, enriching environment for them. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, ages and breeds.

About: Greetings! When I was two I picked out my first puppy and have cared for, trained, and loved dogs ever since. My son and I have two dogs ourselves and love to stay active-walks in the woods, runs in the neighborhood, or hikes up the mountain. I would love to offer that life to dogs whose owners may not have time to offer it to them themselves. I am a very responsible, gentle, yet stern handler who loves to see dogs thrive. Whether this is by implementing leash training, food rewards or consistant scratches to the ears, I am always engaged with your dog to know what he/she needs to have a safe and fun time. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and my son will love the new animals he will get to meet. I am highly attentive and responsible both with your home and with your beloved animals. I stick to the schedule and try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

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 love cats. Especially the type that wants to curl up next to me. Do to my boyfriend having an allergy to cats we currently don’t have any. But I don’t mind dropping in and taking care of the fur babies. I’m currently a 911 Dispatcher for Transylvania County. I work every other week there. (Week on; week off) I will post my monthly schedules that way you can know if I’m a best fit for you. I would prefer not to have other dogs at my home. Due to one of my dogs not being all that friendly. But do not mind going to other homes and taking care of dogs through out the week.

“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was really young and always wanted to get into the field of working with animals. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to bunnies to guinea pigs and almost all of them have lived a very long life. I’m always excited to see any animal and work with them no matter what kind they are. I look forward to seeing every animal that comes my way and taking care of them as if they wear my own. I am currently working a part-time job, but I hope to transition to make this my part-time job. I am available and home every day of the week except Sunday (when I make this job my only job) and I’m home almost every hour and I will always make time for your pet. Well, the yard is on a hill and not fenced. I do have one dog three years old very friendly to keep any animal company. And if your dog needs to be in a crate. I can very much do that.

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.

About: My first born child is my 9 year old Golden Luna. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. I’d love to help care for yours! I work from home full time and am flexible to be able to check in at your home, go for walks, or have them with me. I have a fenced in yard that is safe for pets and am happy to accommodate any needs you may have. Crates are welcome if needed.

“Very good communication. My dog loved her.”

About: With a lifetime of hands-on pet care experience and 9 years as a full-time professional pet sitter, I bring a level of consistency and calm that pet owners (and their pets) tend to notice quickly. Much of my work has been with long-term clients who invite me back year after year to care for both their pets and their homes. My approach is routine-based, with a focus on maintaining familiar rhythms and keeping the environment peaceful. Clear communication and reliability have always been at the center of these relationships. I’m attentive and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I pay close attention to their cues and communicate with animals in a calm, reassuring way, helping them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I take pride in offering thoughtful, dependable care so you can travel with real peace of mind. I’m always happy to share updates and photos with you, as you prefer. My schedule varies a bit from season to season, but I maintain a high level of flexibility. I’m thoughtful about how I plan my commitments so I can be fully present and dependable for the pets in my care. Note: My overnight schedule tends to fill up 2-6+ months in advance – booking early is always a good idea if you need overnights. I typically have more flexibility for cat visits and drop-in walks, so please feel free to reach out on shorter notice for those! I customize the care I provide to closely match your pet’s daily routine. I prioritize clear communication and thoughtful planning so pets feel secure and experience as little disruption or anxiety as possible. This often includes extra rewards for good behavior, playtime, and attentive companionship as needed. I’m happy to provide excellent long-term references upon request.

About: I have experience with many exotic species, from bearded dragons to hamsters and guinea pigs. I've had different breeds of dogs and cats for many years. I just love all types of animals. Many of my current babies are rehabilitated rescues. I have some medical knowledge from this. I also work at Pet Supplies Plus part time! I would love to meet your fur babies. I currently work part-time for pet supplies plus, so I have extra time to spend with your fur babies and give them the attention they need. Your pet will be treated like I treat my own babies, we have a large yard to play in and plenty of scenery to see.

“Thank you Kelsey for taking care of Piper on short notice. We'll definitely be in touch again.”
