Dog Sitting Shiloh

“I was finally able to find someone who was not afraid of my high anxiety dog. Rachel had to deal with an active puppy and a highly anxious rescue dog. I was so relieved to see that my anxious dog bonded with her on her meet and greet visit. I gave Rachel full details of the not so easy task of dealing with my anxious dog and she took the challenge and was successful with it. Rachel has experience with this type of dog and knows how to handle/give space/and play with anxious dogs. She loves playing with dogs and can deal with the not so easy personalities. I highly recommend her.”

“Definitely will re-book with Thomas. He communicated well, sent pictures and a short message every drop in visit. My cats were well taken care of and I appreciate him very much! Thanks Thomas 😊”

“Zaq is an incredible cat sitter! He watched my two cats while I was gone and was very communicative and sent pictures of them every visit. I highly recommend him! Will definitely be using his services again next time I have to leave my kitties at home”

About: I’ve been recently dog and cat sitting more “professionally” for the past year or so, however have over ten years of watching pets for friends and family. As a cat owner, I understand and get along with the niche nature of kitties, and then enjoy the energy of being around dogs when I can! I was raised around small and large dogs of all breeds, so I’m comfortable with them all 🐶 I have some experience as well learning with a canine trainer, having the basics for good boundaries and obedience. Whether it’s playing, going to the park, walks, or just cuddles or space and comfort, I’ve got you! I currently work part time afternoons at school in East Asheville, and live in West Asheville. This gives me the perfect window to stop by morning, before and after work if needed, and I am able to stay nights if needed. I do not plan to bring animals into my own home as I have two cats, but I will happily follow the expectations of your home and follow the normal preferred routine of outdoor spaces and locations

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom always had at least three dogs in the house along with a few cats, and I would regularly take care of them whenever she was away. Currently, she has four dogs, a miniature horse, and chickens, so I’m very familiar with a wide range of animals and their needs. I’ve also taken in pets from family members who were unable to care for them due to moves or life changes, which has given me even more hands on experience. I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m open to looking after other kinds of animals as well. I truly love animals and treat them with a lot of care and respect…I won’t even kill a spider, if that gives you a sense of how I am with them. I work mostly remote and do some overnight caregiving on the side. I will have a lot of time between October and mid April as I will not be caregiving in those months! I wish to care for animals at my clients home. So whatever they instruct me to do! I love hiking so I would love to take your dogs on adventures if it is allowed!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I spent nearly a decade working as a vet tech, so I’m totally comfortable giving medications and supporting pets with special needs. My goal is to make your fur kid feel safe, seen, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away—whether that means sticking to their routine, giving extra belly rubs, or just being a calm, caring presence. ❤️ I work a hybrid schedule, but I’m home most days during the week and have a lot of flexibility—so your pup will have plenty of company, comfort, and care throughout the day when they’re staying in my home! Whether they’re the type to nap nearby or need a little extra play and attention, I’m here to help them feel happy and at ease while you’re away. When a pet is staying with me: I have a fully fenced yard and access to 20 beautiful acres—perfect for giving your pup plenty of exercise, sniffs, and adventure time! My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy for me to follow your pet’s usual routine and keep things feeling familiar and low-stress. Every part of my home is pet-friendly, so your dog will feel welcome wherever they go. I do have an indoor cat, so your pup will need to be cat-friendly. I also have chickens and goats, but no worries—I can keep them safely separated during your pet’s stay. When I’m visiting a pet: One of my favorite things about caring for pets is getting to know their individual personalities, quirks, and preferences. I’m a big believer in meeting animals where they are, whether that means giving them space, patiently earning their trust, or becoming their new favorite person to snuggle with. I never want to force an interaction. I’d much rather let them set the pace and build a relationship that feels safe and comfortable for them. Sometimes that means lots of love and attention, and sometimes it means sitting on the floor pretending I’m not interested until curiosity gets the better of them. (A surprisingly effective strategy!) I also know how important routines and familiar surroundings are, so I do my best to keep things consistent while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for, and maybe even a little excited when they see me coming!

About: We both love animals of all kinds. We have always had pets in our lives and have loved being dog sitters for friends and family over the years. We are currently the proud parents of two wonderful dogs, Honeybee and Charlie. We have experience with special care for senior dogs. Our dog Carlos was blind and deaf for the last few years of his life, and had diabetes, requiring insulin shots every 12 hours. We have some dog training skills and have helped Honeybee on her path, starting as a wild rescue puppy to being the well-behaved young lady that she is now. We believe in positive reinforcement training and understand dog behavior enough to know when to step in and intervene. I (Ethan) am currently working a very flexible schedule of driving for Uber and Lyft. My schedule allows me to be home often and to stop by and check on Charlie and Honeybee and any visiting dogs frequently when I am working. If we have doggy daycare clients I am able to stay home all day. Hope is around on evenings and weekends and is always ready for playtime and snuggles with the pups. I am currently sharing residence with my partner Hope (who loves dogs as much as I do!) and she shares in the care of all the dogs. We have a large, fenced-in yard in the heart of West Asheville. We won’t leave your dogs outdoors unattended and will respect any special requirements as to the safety of your beloved babies. We understand the need for routine in a dog's life and will be happy to abide by whatever feeding/medication schedule, exercise needs, etc. that your dog has.

About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I have an Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, intelligent dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment! I’m an Occupational Therapist and have spent years working in healthcare, so being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsible is a huge part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. I’m very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a quick potty break to a long walk for dogs who need to burn some energy. I also offer drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, and plenty of attention and cuddles for pets who prefer a more relaxed visit. As a dog owner who has used pet sitters myself, I know how much peace of mind updates can provide. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog wants to walk three miles, play fetch until my arm falls off, or just have someone hang out with them on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 One thing you can count on: I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)

About: I have a caring, outgoing, and patient personality that dogs are attracted to. I've always had a love for dogs and love to meet new furry friends any chance I can! Since my one and only dog passed away several years ago, my heart has been longing for a new dog. Dogs give me such happiness and I enjoy the happiness they bring to others as well. I also have a competitive running background of 12+ years so there will be no trouble with walking, running, or doing any sort of fun exercise with your furry friend! I'm so excited to help assist with anything your dog may need, even if its just some new company! I am currently working part time so my availability is pretty open. Please feel free to message me to see if I would be a great fit. I care for pets in your home by going to multiple walks per day, giving your pup the attention he/she deserves, and following any directions needed to best meet the needs of your pup.

“So so glad we found Jordan to walk our sog”

About: I grew up with many cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, etc and was always the one left in charge of tending to them, I'm guessing because I enjoyed it the most out of my siblings. There's just a natural draw in me to the natural world. I've lived on a few goat farms and have been the designated animal caretaker in these places as well. I've also been a dog mom, so I know the language and have that direct experience. I've been in many management and leadership rolls throughout my adult life and understand how to show up responsibly and with integrity. I work online with a flexible schedule so I can stay with your baby full-time and adjust my work day to meet your pets needs. Just following directions as provided, going the extra step, and actually connecting with the animal instead of just going through the motions. Animals need love and connection in the same way people do.

“She does a great job with my little pup!! he is so comfortable with her and she’s very flexible with scheduling adjustments!!”

“Dylan came by for drop-in visits for our 3 dogs. He was wonderful, communicated well, took care of them, and sent pictures. Thank you!”

Tracy C.

“Ginny was absolutely great with my new puppy. She has an obvious love of and connection to animals. She took extra time to play with her on her first day alone while I was away at work. She also worked on some of the training that we had started. I definitely plan to use Ginny some time in the future!”

Lexie A.

“She was available super last minute and was extremely patient with my dog! I 100% recommend Georgia to anyone!”

Mone D.

“Sadie has been amazing! She's super personable and easy to connect with on a human level, but she's also incredible with my animals. I have her take my dog out midday while I'm working, and she's gentle and patient with him since he's very old and unsteady. She's lovely with the cats too, and makes sure that they don't run out the door. I was anxious about leaving my pets in someone else's care as I have very high standards regarding how to take care of them. Working with Sadie has calmed my nerves and reassured me they're in good hands. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I have over twenty years’ experience as a volunteer at local animal shelters. I work mostly with large dogs from walking to training to fostering. In addition, I have an 16yr old cat and experience with fostering kittens. In addition to taking care of your pet(s), I will happily provide care of your home as well - getting mail, taking out garbage, watering plants, etc. Happy to send you my FB page, where you’ll find reviews. I work full time Monday through Friday but am happy to stop by in the morning and at night. Each visit can be up to an hour long. I adhere to the pets’ routine and make them as comfortable as possible. This means keeping the same schedule, food, treats, and snuggles. The goal is for you to not worry about them because they’re in good hands and come back to a happy pet!
