Top rated Skyland cat sitters
“Sherrie was terrific with my cat Maynard. She played with him every visit and sent me photos and updated me on how he was doing. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Krystin is the best! She takes time to spend with each of the animals and has a pure attention to details. My 3 girls were being picky eaters and she made sure to let me know, and went above and beyond trying different foods until they were satisfied! You’ll know you pets are in good hands when she takes care of them😻”
“Erin is absolutely wonderful. She was so kind and patient with our cat and went above and beyond to communicate with us while we were away. We are so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services!!”
“Savannah has been an actual life saver! Keeping my girls well looked after when we got stuck outside of town after Helene, and helping my heart feel safe while I couldn't get back to them. I can't be more thankful for Savannah !!!”
“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our boys - making sure they were fed, giving treats, scooping the litter, and even bringing in our mail without being asked. That extra thoughtfulness meant so much. Most impressively, she got our shy cat Fred to come out of hiding, which is no small feat! We felt totally at ease knowing our pets and home were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennie is absolutely wonderful! She is so thorough with every visit and her communication is incredible. She gives the most detailed summaries and tons of photos along with them. She is so flexible and even went the extra mile to help us navigate getting home safely during the storm. I’d choose her again and again to care for my babies.”
“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Devin was phenomenal. She was super flexible with us when our travel plans were upended due to the airline crowdstrike issue. She sent us detailed (and funny!) updates on every visit with Paul and a nice batch of photos each time. She really went above and beyond with his care. We will absolutely plan to have her take care of Paul again! She earned his trust super quickly - we could tell in the photos how happy he was to be with her.”
“Teal watched my 15 year old cat while I was out of town. He’s pretty shy but would hang out with her for pets and cuddles. She sent lots of pictures and notes from her visits and let me know of anything out of the ordinary. I’d definitely have her watch him again!”

“Having just recently moved to the area, we didn’t have a local friend to take care of our cat, Steve, and we were initially a bit nervous about using someone we didn’t know. However, Susan was FANTASTIC! She came to meet us and our cat before our trip, which put us totally at ease since she was so friendly and kind to Steve and didn’t bat an eye at his feeding instructions. She showed up on time each day and sent us a nice visit recap and some funny action pictures of her playing with him. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
About: For eight years, I volunteered with the Wake County Animal Center in Raleigh, NC, where I fostered 60 dogs—from newborn puppies to senior dogs and every age and personality in between. While I’m not a certified dog trainer, I’ve worked with pups who had anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, medical needs, and even deafness (I taught one dog 15 different signs!). I’ve handled recovery care after surgery, heartworm treatment, skin and eye issues, potty training, and medication routines that required attention multiple times a day. I feel confident and comfortable with any dog—big or small, shy or hyper, special needs or seniors. I haven’t had to give injectable medication before, but I’m completely comfortable learning and have no hesitation. I work part-time as an assistant for a local Asheville artist. I’m often able to adjust my hours around your pet’s needs, especially for midday walks, extended stays, or regular check-ins. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s a huge part of what makes me feel grounded, happy, and fulfilled. I haven’t fostered since moving to Asheville, and working with dogs again is a way I’m reconnecting with that part of myself. I share custody of three senior dogs—now 14, 13, and 12—and they’ve been with me most of their lives. My 13-year-old tripod, a boxer-hound mix, lives with me full-time and is my best friend. Because of him, I’m especially tuned into the needs of older or special-needs pets. At home, I live in an apartment with three private dog parks on the property. They’re usually empty, which gives us a safe place to play, run, or just sniff around. For boarding, your dog will need to meet mine first to ensure everyone vibes well together. In your home, I always do a meet & greet beforehand to get to know your pet and their environment, plus give you a chance to get to know me. Through my years of volunteering at a busy municipal shelter, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language—whether that means giving space to a nervous dog, redirecting rough play, or stepping in safely if a situation escalates. I also know how to interrupt and break up dog fights safely, though I do everything possible to prevent them from happening in the first place! Your pet’s comfort and safety, and mine, are my top priorities- wherever we are.
“Mallory was a communicative and trustworthy caretaker of our two kitties while we were away. They warmed to her presence easily and everyone was happy and healthy upon our return!”
“We used Maria to take care of our dog Chloe while we were on vacation in the Asheville, NC area from Sunday, April 4 through Friday, April 9, 2021. We were totally impressed with Maria's promptness, her love for animals, her attention to detail, and her professional way she approached every aspect of our dog's care! She came to our RV campsite in the afternoon after her work once a day for four of those days and walked Chloe for about twenty minutes. She then fed her and sat with her for a while before sending us a picture before she left. We were extremely pleased and grateful to have Maria care for our pet in this way. Her care allowed us to have the peace of mind we wanted while we were on vacation!”

Megan S.
“We are incredibly grateful to have met Megan over eight years ago, during a time when she was fostering three adorable puppies she had lovingly rescued from the local shelter. We adopted the two brother pups, and my manager adopted their sister—all thanks to Megan's dedication and compassion for dogs in need. Megan has rescued and fostered countless dogs over the years, giving each one a second chance at life. Her unwavering commitment to these animals—many of whom came from heartbreaking situations—is nothing short of inspiring. She gives them love, safety, and hope when they need it most, preparing them for the forever homes they deserve. Our pups, now grown and thriving, are a daily reminder of Megan's incredible impact. We are forever thankful for the joy they’ve brought to our lives and for Megan’s selfless heart. She is a true hero in the lives of so many dogs—and the families who are lucky enough to adopt them. Thank you, Megan, for everything you do.”
