Dog Walking Pisgah Forest

About: Hi, I'm Aarya! I've walked dogs for [number] years and have a 5-year-old beagle of my own, so I know how much a good walk means to a dog and how much it matters to know they're in safe hands. On every walk, I: Keep your dog on a secure leash and stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and anything they shouldn't eat Walk at your dog's pace, whether that's a long sniffy stroll or a higher-energy run Send photo updates and a quick note on how the walk went Follow your instructions on routes, treats, and routines I'm calm and comfortable handling the unexpected, like a dog that pulls, gets spooked, or slips a collar. I'd be happy to do a free meet-and-greet so you and your dog can get to know me first. Message me anytime! I work a regular 8 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday, so I'm available for pet care on weekday evenings and all day on weekends. That works well for after-work walks and evening drop-in visits, and I'm flexible on weekends and holidays for longer visits or walks at any time of day. I'm happy to work around your pet's routine and send updates after every visit For dog walks, I pick up your dog at your home and keep them on a secure leash the whole time. I stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and anything they shouldn't eat, and I walk at your dog's pace, whether that's a slow sniffy stroll or something more energetic. I follow your instructions on routes, treats, and routines, bring water if needed, and always clean up after your dog. Afterward, I send a photo and a quick note on how the walk went. For cat sitting, I visit your home to care for your cat in their own space, which is usually the least stressful option for cats. I feed them and refresh their water the way you like it, scoop the litter box, and spend time playing or cuddling depending on what your cat enjoys. I check that they seem healthy and comfortable, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and send a photo and update after each visit. For both services, I do a free meet-and-greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me. I'll follow your routines closely and contact you right away if anything seems off.

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’m an active, responsible, and dependable pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m happy to get up early for morning walks and love getting outside with dogs for walks, playtime, and adventures. I work most days from 9–5, and I’m active before or after work, so caring for your pets fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, playtime, or some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and will always clean up after your pets and leave your home neat and tidy. I take your pet’s safety seriously and will be attentive to their surroundings while I’m in your home. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure, follow any household guidelines you provide, and be mindful of anything that could pose a risk to your pet. I’ll also let you know promptly if I notice anything unusual or concerning.

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

About: Growing up I always had pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, fish and have always been an animal lover. Two kids later, potty training another living thing is not a priority but I cant resist tail wags and couch snuggles whenever I’m around animals. I am very active and would love to be the person to help get the zoomies out of your doggo or check in on other furry friends. I have had dogs of my own and have experience with crate training and will help to encourage existing basic training behaviors. I work remotely full time and am typically an early riser. I have two kids that keep me busy but my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to come over to check in on your fur babies, take them on walks or sit with them for a few hours while I get my work done.

About: With over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide dependable, attentive care you can truly feel confident in. I grew up with dogs and began professionally pet sitting at a young age for family, friends, and neighbors. What started as helping loved ones quickly became something I genuinely love and take pride in. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs and pets with special needs. I have experience administering oral medications, monitoring behavior changes, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs structured walks, enrichment activities, calm companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and secure while you are away. I am a full-time college student with a flexible schedule and also work with long-term clients outside of Rover. Because I value providing attentive, unrushed care, I do ask for advance notice whenever possible. I am typically available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the booking. If you have specific timing needs please reach out, I’m happy to coordinate when possible. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the highest level of respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain cleanliness, and ensure your home remains secure. You will receive consistent updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether your pet requires medication, extra patience, structured exercise, or quiet reassurance, I focus on creating a stable and comforting experience.

About: I have taken care of dogs and all kinds of animals since I was a toddler. I am very reliable walking, feeding, bathing, any kind of care needed for your pet.

I will have to go to my clients home, it is just the better option. I live close to the road and would never want to put anyone else’s, especially a clients pet in danger.

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Celeste — your dog’s new favorite auntie 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover originally from Denver, now living right in downtown Asheville with my 5-year-old “puppy” (yes, she still thinks she’s a baby). We go on daily mountain walks, explore the city, and spend way too much time cuddling — so your dog will fit right into our routine. I’m dependable, nurturing, and super communicative. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained the whole time. Whether your pup needs hikes, chill couch time, consistent structure, or someone who just gets dog personalities — I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶💛 I do work a full time job that is Monday - Friday 9-5 and livr in Arden. In the weekends I am absolutely free and I am able to house sit and dog walk. I would be available on the weekdays depending on your location and if the animals can be alone for 8 hours. In My Home: I create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in downtown Asheville with my friendly 5-year-old pup, and we follow a steady routine of walks, playtime, and mellow downtime. Visiting pets get the same treatment as my own — constant supervision, lots of affection, fresh water at all times, and a cozy place to relax. I keep my space clean, dog-proofed, and stress-free so every animal feels comfortable and at home. In Their Home: I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them grounded and secure. I handle feeding, walking, potty schedules, medication (if needed), enrichment, and plenty of snuggles. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get updates and photos as often as you’d like. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away — no disruption, just comfort.

About: I have a deep passion for working with animals, especially dogs, which has given me the rewarding opportunity to train and care for reactive pets. As a proud owner of three dogs and a cat, I’ve personally trained them to live their best lives, ensuring their happiness and health every step of the way. My experience spans from raising puppies and kittens to providing lifelong care—I even helped my cat deliver her kitten and created a safe, nurturing home for them afterward. One of my proudest achievements is caring for my little dog, who lived a happy and healthy life until the age of 17. With dogs ranging in age from 2 to 10 years old, I understand the unique needs and challenges that come with every life stage. Whether it’s socialization, training, or providing love and stability, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience and genuine care to every animal I work with. Let me bring my dedication and expertise to your furry family members! Even with my full-time job, pet care is a top priority. I start my mornings with feeding, short walks, and playtime, then focus on longer walks, training, and quality time after work. On weekends, I handle grooming, socialization, and vet visits. I’ve built a consistent routine that ensures my pets are always happy and well-cared for. In my home, I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in a clean and safe environment. I provide daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs, along with regular grooming and health monitoring. In my clients' homes, I maintain their pets' routines by following feeding schedules, providing walks or playtime, and offering companionship. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and consistency to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: My whole life has revolved around my passion and love for animals. From volunteering at my local animal shelter, working at luxury pet resorts to working on a Farm I have had experience with animals of all sizes. In the future I hope to become a certified dog trainer and I am already on my way to it. I am dog and cat CPR certificated. I have years of experience caring for all sizes and age groups of pets. I personally have two dogs that get to go to the park and do training daily. I personally feel like enrichment for animals is one of the most important part of pet care in a day. I strive myself to be able to give all of the animals I take care of mental and physical enrichment daily. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of work to care for my own pets, as well as others pets to my best ability. My main priority for pet care is making sure the pet is safe, happy and healthy. I also want to make sure that pet parents are comfortable with the approaches I use and the incentives given to the animals. I want the pet care I provide to be a happy and mutually beneficial experience for both the animals and the parents.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart! Animals are innocent creatures who deserve nothing but special and loving care. I am willing to abide by any requests or special rules for pets, including medicine requirements, care schedules, and eating schedules.
