“Jharasen was kind, communicative, and treated my dog well! He came home happy and well exercised. There were other dogs around for him to play with, which I think helped keep his separation anxiety well managed.”
“Thanks so much for watching my fur babies Charlie and Wyatt! Great updates, easy drop off and pick up, wonderful communication and a kind home away from home for my pups. I highly recommend Brittany and her family and will be coming back in the future when I need to travel out of town. 5 stars all the way!”
“Our Trooper is a high needs dog and Danielle did an outstanding job with him. It is easy to see she loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Every picture sent our boy was smiling! We are over the moon with the fantastic care she provided and are thankful to have found a sitter that is incredibly kind and caring! We HIGHLY recommend her and appreciate all she did - walks, introducing our big guy to cats and play time with her terrier. It was lovely for us and Trooper!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Alison was great! She was very communicative (sent some great pics/videos of Lola's stay) and really seemed to enjoy my puppy which put me at ease. Heck, Lola didn't even seem to mind when I left. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Booking with Aleicia was the best choice! I'm always hesitant leaving my fur babies, but I won't be in the future! My dog stayed with her over spring break and I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home with all the fun she had!! I got multiple pictures daily which is reassuring. Aleicia was very quick to respond both with while trying to request a booking and during the stay.”
“Was very friendly and you can tell she loves our fur babies as much as we do. Has a beautiful fenced in yard which our Cookie loved. Already booked again with her. She was a great choice, glad we found her!”
“Sharon is an excellent dogsitter. She has a massive fenced yard and provides plenty of play/run time. Her property is well-maintained, even in the midst of the WNC hurricane Helene clean-up, which hit her property hard. Having JUST moved to the Hendersonville area, we feel very lucky to have found such a competent and caring dogsitter.”
“Lindsey was just the best! We boarded our dog Josie and cat Dylan for over a week and they both felt completely at ease. She made them very comfortable and kept us updated with lots of pictures. I would recommend her highly!!! Thank you so much!!!”
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
“Jessie was well cared for and the updates and pictures showed a happy girl. Charlene has a great set up and perfect for my girl. Highly recommend her amd look forward to using her again”
“You know the expression "Heaven help us" ... well, she came through again as we had a sudden need for dog care. Our 2 dogs love her and that was apparent when we dropped them off (we were former clients). They had a good visit once again and we are thankful we can rely on her.”
“Iva was wonderful with our dog Hank. He came home completely wiped out from how great of a time he had playing in her garden with her dogs. She was wonderful about sending photos and updates while we were away. You won’t regret leaving your pets with her!”
“I was a bit concerned with having someone watch my 170 pound mastiff puppy but April and her family put me at ease. She was extremely accommodating and clearly cares for the dogs in her care. My only complaint is that he was way too disappointed when I arrived to take him home! Thanks again April!”
“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
