About: * going to be in NYC July 17-21st please don’t request my services in NYC outside those dayes* I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting and 10 months as a foster caregiver.I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail. For some of are couch potato friends, we have a nice spacious apartment with pet approved couch to lay on and just enjoy a relaxing, quite place! As for my furry friends that ill be sitting for at there place, I like to give them plenty of play time in there space and yards. Along with nice long walks through the neighborhood! Attention to detail, and love is what I thrive for when taking care of your pet!

“We were in the area for sightseeing. Kristin was welcoming and seemed to be aware of how to treat the different sizes of dog that she was watching. I can not speak on Stellas behalf, except I Heard no complaining. Thanks for watching Stella for us so that we can enjoy our sightseeing.”

“Ann & Jaren took such great care of my Lottie girl when I was on vacation to NYC! They kept me up to date with lots of pictures; being that this was the first time we were apart for this long, I really appreciated the photos and care she received. She was in great hands and I 100% will be using them in the future! Thanks again 😊”

About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.

“Paul and his fiancé were amazing with our boy, Ezra. As my service dog, he is always with me. There were 2 days of our 16-day vacay that we needed a reliable pet sitter for adventures we couldn’t bring Ezra on: zip-lining in Barnardsville and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in a 2-seater Polaris Slingshot. Even after a considerately planned meet-and-greet the afternoon before his 1st stay with Paul, Ezra was a little nervous after we dropped him off. Thoughtfully, I received updates and videos to keep me posted. Paul and his fiancé worked with him to build trust and also Ezra’s confidence. By day 2, Ezra did not want his stay to end at pick-up time! When he finally did get in the car, he was happily exhausted and slept the entire drive home. I would definitely reach out to Paul as a pet sitter should the need arise the next time we visit beautiful North Carolina! Thank you both for taking such good care of our Ezra. We truly appreciate all you did to help him adjust and feel comfortable, confident and happy!!! :)”

Cedar came home happy and sleepy. Loved the great communication and photos and videos throughout the day of Cedar living his best life.”

“Beth was wonderful with our dog. Mitchie felt right at home before I even left. Beth sent us frequent updates and photos on Mitchie throughout the day that made us feel super comfortable that our pooch was in good hands. We will use Beth's services again while we are in Asheville and we recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I’m passionate about providing safe, personalized, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. My experience includes working at “You Work I’ll Play” dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in both group and one-on-one settings. I’ve also completed a dog training apprenticeship with a focus on reactive and aggressive dogs, giving me hands-on experience in behavior management, body language, confidence building, and creating calm, structured environments for anxious or high-needs pets. In addition to professional experience, I’ve raised and trained puppies from a young age, focusing on basic manners, leash skills, crate training, confidence building, and healthy socialization. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, understood, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work part time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and flexibility to the pets in my care. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide consistent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feedings, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods of time. Animal care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine, and I always strive to make sure each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and a safe, loving environment while their family is away. 🐾 I provide flexible, full-spectrum pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes depending on what works best for each pet and family. In my home, dogs have a calm, structured environment with supervised care, enrichment activities, and access to safe exercise. I also have access to a private dog park, which allows for secure off-leash play, enrichment walks, and controlled socialization when appropriate for each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, medication, and comfort habits—so pets feel secure in their own space while you’re away. I also work alongside my partner, a canine behaviorist, who assists with select bookings when additional support is needed or if I’m ever fully scheduled. This allows for consistent, knowledgeable care even during busy periods, especially for dogs with behavioral needs or those requiring extra structure and guidance. 🐾

“Golda took great care of Maggie while my husband and I went on a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains NP (no dogs allowed)😢. Maggie was smiling when we picked her up and it looked like she had a great time!”
