Dog Sitting in Swannanoa

About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am 53 and semi-retired. I drive for Uber to fill some of my time. I have cared for animals all of my life, starting with a farm when I was little. My first dog was named Tandy and my first cat was Tasha. I have been a fur baby mamma, pretty much always, as well as a sitter for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, kittens and senior animals. I recently moved to Asheville and into a place that doesn’t allow pets. I miss having a fur baby, so it would be an honor to care for yours. I have a very open schedule. I drive for Uber part time, and other than that I like to fill my days with hiking, walking, pickleball and yoga. I would love to have a furry friend come along on my adventures! I am unable to bring pets into my rental home. I will travel to your home and stay overnight with your pet, and I will treat both with love, care and respect. I will make sure to follow feeding, potty and walking schedules closely. I will also ask about favorite games and comfort toys and routines. I will send pictures and a recap of the day. I want you, and your pet, to feel comfortable and safe.

“Joanna was available SUPER last minute to let our pup out when our other sitter had car troubles. We are so grateful! Maggie seemed to have fun with her :)”

About: I am a recent high school graduate looking to care for your pets! Within the last year I have consistently cared for 5 pets and have 2 of my own. When caring for pets I spend genuine time with them to give them a good experience so they continue to feel safe and loved while you are away. I have cared for rescue dogs and have a rescue dog of my own so I understand many pets have special needs and I am willing to provide them. It is important to me that you and your pet feel confident in their care so you may both be worry free. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting and caring for your lovely animals !

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.

“Gracie was responsive and wonderful I would highly recommend!”

“We're a repeat fan of Tiffany! Due to her always showing up in the timeframe promised and being attentive to our care list for Dalton and Lucy, we are able to enjoy our time away without worry.”

About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time

“Alexis is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my fur baby! Right away when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with my cat! When I came home after a week away my cat was relaxed and happy. She did extra with keeping my bird feeders full and bird baths clean and also my plants. Wonderful and the best!!! Highly recommend Alexis!”

“Tresalyn did a wonderful job looking after my two kitties, especially with one being extremely shy! She made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care by sending photos, reassuring they have food, water, clean litter, etc. I highly recommend Tresalyn to watch your fur babies!!!”

About: I enjoy creating relationships with dogs. Every dog deserves a quality life and sometimes we are too busy to give them what they deserve. I have owned dogs my whole life and am very comfortable taking them on walks and keeping them company. I will also work on leash training with your dog. I have lots of experience with rescues, and dogs of all kinds. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Overall, I can tire out your pet with long walks and play time (and cuddle time too, if needed!) I prioritize creating a trusting relationship with dogs so that not only will they be nourished physically, but also emotionally. Willing to work on tricks and training as well -- whatever is most important for you and your dog. I'm currently working part time, so I have lots of time for you and your dog! Happy to have your dog stay at my place as well. I have a fenced in yard with 2 of my own fur babies to keep yours company! They can run around together and get human attention too!

“Sarah is nothing but great! Your dog is in good hands with her”

About: My availability sets me apart allows for client flexibility AND we live on a beautiful 1-acre wooded lot in beautiful Fairview. I posses the same quality as all those who are lucky enough to love animals; heart clenching, weeping endearment for all animals. I want to love them all. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have two cats in my home now, they spend my days coming in and out of my "office." If caring for an animal in their own home, I am free to come and go and will, depending in the needs of the clients. I do not have a fenced yard, however, we are located tucked back off of and away from any major thoroughfare that could pose any danger. In client home care will consist of adhering to all safety procedures indicated and paying close attention the the clients environment.

About: My style is very gentle, understanding, and affectionate, though I am also very clear with boundaries and behaviors. I was a foster parent for Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico for three years. I have special experience with pregnant dogs and cats, newborns, and I have a big soft spot for senior pets. I am an avid hiker and walker, so your babies will get plenty of exercise! I am a retired childbirth educator, doula, and Hypnotherapist. I am blessed to have my days to myself and am home all day except for errands and hikes. We live in Sun City, Georgetown, Texas. Since I'm retired, my schedule is wide open. Lana, my partner, works full time from home. Our two little 5 year old poodle mixes are used to welcoming and entertaining new furry friends, since they have "fostered" many dogs over the years.

About: As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy. I currently work full time as a special education instructional assistant but I am flexible in the evenings (after 4pm), on weekends and during the summer. I take pride in following through with expectations with compassion and excellence. I also enjoy taking photos and sharing documentation of your animal’s wellbeing with you.

“Shakara is a wonderful sitter. She saved my butt with a last minute drop-in visit. I would definitely book with her again.”
