“Tobey had a wonderful time at Katie and Jeremy’s. I loved all the daily photos ! We will definitely bring Tobey back to this loving family the next time we need to board Tobey!”
“Nancy did an excellent job caring for Jimmy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, professional, and very communicative. She kept me updated and made sure Jimmy was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during his entire stay. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing Jimmy was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”
“Lorna was great! I loved getting pictures of my dog everyday to see how he was doing! He came home his normal self and didn't seem stressed or tired. I will use Lorna again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best sitters anyone could ask for! This is my dog’s second stay with Joseph and Andrea. They take such great care of her, and send me the cutest photos! They have welcomed Tela into their family with open arms. I will be definitely using them again and again and again!!”
“I have left my little pup with Jose and Maria several times over the last year or so. They really treat her as part of their family and she gets so excited when we pull up to their house. Their daily pictures and videos are so reassuring that all is well. I highly recommend them!!”
“I’d give Vicky 10 stars if I could. Lucy loved her time with Vicky and I felt at ease knowing she was being well loved. Vicky sent us multiple videos of Lucy, which made our time apart much more comforting. Many thanks to you, Vicky”
“Words cannot express how much we love Brody! Brody has cared for our energetic pup a few times...most recently for 2 weeks. Brody kept us updated with photos and videos and reassured us when we were really missing our pup. He has been especially flexible with us & has helped us with last minute requests for dog sitting.”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job! My kids came home happy and healthy, and so tired! The environment was a healthy and interesting one for my Bassett hounds who love to smell and explore! Samantha gave me daily updates and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my fur babies were enjoying their too!”
“Our dog Sam was well taking care of with Giuliana. Sam is a high energy hound and Giuliana made sure he had outside play time multiple times a day with plenty of video and picture updates. He also got along great with her 2 other dogs. Would highly recommend Giuliana.”
“Terri was amazing with our very active pup. She sent daily pictures and updates while we were away he was clean and healthy when we pick him up. They are great and loving people and I highly recommend them!!”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“Olivia took such great care of my girl! She made everything super easy and convenient for us. She was attentive to all of Benelli’s needs and she even sent regular updates so that I knew how she was doing. I would absolutely recommend her services!!”
“Our dog Cleo loved Alexis! She took very good care of our baby. She sent pics and updates and was great with communication. We will definitely rebook with her when we need a sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”
“We spent the night at the Biltmore while we were in Asheville and our fur baby went to stay with Kristin. Super convenient and Izzy came back exhausted! Thank you again!”
“Miranda was tentative and so caring with my pup. She gave me great updates / pics during the duration of my his 3 day stay. I felt so comfortable with him in her care. I will certainly use her again when I need overnight or day care!”

“Becca was extraordinary. She took exceptional care of my cats, she communicated beautifully, sent pictures of my special needs babies so I knew they were okay, spent extra time with my neediest boy. I wish I could give her a million stars because she was that good. I WILL hire her again to take care of everyone because she was so responsive and responsible that I know my kidlets are in terrific hands!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and comfort their cats while away. I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and especially good with shy or sensitive cats who need patience and a gentle presence.
About: My dog is one of the central priorities of my life, and I understand how important it is to have caretakers that you can trust! I would be happy to take your dog on a walk, a hike, or to the dog park or groomer. I'm an avid runner and would love to take your dog along! Whatever you need, you name it! I am currently self employed so my availability is extremely flexible. I’d be happy to spend time with more than one pet at a time and spend the night. I don’t mind administering medications or adhering to any special needs or restrictions they might have. I’d be happy to be your regular dog walker and/or sitter, or do irregular drop-ins, and to look after any other pets you may have. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! I’ve been off Rover for a while because I was working at a pet sitting company. I work part time, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets!

About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!
About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from my own to even cleaning horse stalls. Have experience owning chickens too! Our pets need love and attention just like we do! I will talk to your loved ones, play, walk and feed them. I work from home during the day, if your pet would like to hang out in my office during the day, I do short walks on my breaks. I am also available to stop by in the evenings for walks and feedings. Weekends I’m usually always available, let me know what you need and we can see what works for both of us, to make sure your loved one gets the very best care. I can stop by for visits, take your dog on walks, send daily pictures and updates. If you need me to come by a few times a day, I am available for that as well.
About: I have always loved and spent time around dogs, mostly, but I care deeply about all animals. I am patient and compassionate with them in a way that I think many others are not. Most recently, I’ve had tons of experience taking care of my own two dogs, Pepper and Toby. I also went through a rigorous training program with them, alongside their first owner, my partner, that immensely improved their behavior. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furry friends! I have lots of time off with my current job, so I will be able to be flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my schedule! I am a very methodical and detail oriented person who can follow any possible instruction related to pet care. I will treat all of my clients’ pets like they were my own!
About: Since I was 16, I have been the go to pet/home sitter for the church I grew up in. Word spread quickly of my reliability and soon, it became a full “part-time” gig. I’ve cared for birds, cats, dogs of ALL sizes, reptiles, fish, mice and lots of other gerbil sized fluff balls. Along with classic domesticated animals, I’m also familiar with caring for a handful of farm animals such as; chickens, goats, and horses. I’m currently working in the wonderful world of Wilderness Therapy. This means I work 15 days in the field and then have 13 days off. During these 2 week periods of free time, I would be honored to care for and get to know your pets! I’m primarily offering housesitting and drop in visits as I have 2 feline friends, Chloe and Noir, at home that are wary of “strangers”. I will spend as much time at your home with your furry child as you’d like, even staying the night if you’d prefer. The mornings and afternoons are dedicated to the doggos, specifically going on walks or getting some exercise! I am a reliable and trustworthy character that is honored to have this opportunity to snuggle and play with your hairy loved ones.
About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.
About: I love all animals and love giving them the care and attention you do! If your dog is up for it, I'll take them for a run or to the dog park near my house. Getting outside and running around are very important if your dog is able. As are snuggles, of course. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to do whatever your pup needs. I have a year old Aussie-Hound mix pup also and she loves to play with other dogs. She will be with me most of the time and is a great partner for old or young dogs. I think communication is key, especially in watching your pet! To ensure trust and allow you to rest easy, I'm happy to text and send photos throughout my time with your sweet animal! I feel that it's an honor to be trusted with your pet. I work full time but have flexibility in my schedule to be home with your pets, take them on walks or hikes, play, feed, and snuggle, of course. I live on a private spacious farm with lots of rooms for dogs to run and play. My pup loves other dogs too. Your pets safety and care is the upmost importance!

“Brody gives my pups tons of attention and play. He’s always so friendly and easy to reach and communicate with. Penguin and Ducky had a great time at his place as usual!”
About: I have more than 10 years of experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have interned under licensed veterinarians, volunteered with countless animal rescue groups, was employed as a shelter manager for a no-kill animal shelter, and have worked at two different doggy daycare centers. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and have completely fallen in love with the problem-solving aspects of dog training and how it allows me to help owners and their pets live happier, less frustrating, lives together! I do have a full time job and an adolescent Border Collie, but am available for overnight stays in your home or in mine and will give all my extra time and attention to your pup during my stay! My goal is for your dog to hardly miss you while you are gone and to keep their routine as close to normal as possible during your absence. I do currently have my own dog, Dash, who sometimes accompanied me on my overnight stays if your dog wants a playmate! I have been fostering dogs through local rescue groups and animal shelters for several years and have become accustomed to many different kinds of dogs in that time. Why I love dog sitting... I've loved dogs all my life! I got my first dog when I was 6, a black lab named Holly, and a Bichon Frise, Dixie, the dog who was considered by every member of my family to really be "mine" when I was 9. The years when I was in college and away from my dogs was hard and as soon as I moved out on my own, but couldn't yet afford my own dog, I started pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Since then, I have longed to have a dog in my house at all times, but wasn’t immediately financially ready for my own forever dog. So I have been volunteering at a couple of local animal shelters as a Foster Mom for dogs in need of a temporary home, and a little extra TLC, before they are adopted into their forever homes! As a professional dog trainer, I get to make my own schedule, which provides immense flexibility for walking dogs and doing drop in visits for pet care!! I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves to play! Dash, our Border Collie, often comes with me to overnight stays. When I come to your house to visit your pets, I’m always sure to leave the key where I found it and be sure the house is secured before I leave.
About: Experienced dog lover providing safe, personalized care full of play, love, and peace of mind. I treat your pup like family—because that’s exactly what they are. Happy dogs, Relieved parents. Trusted care. I work from home, so your pup gets all-day play, belly rubs, and love. From morning zoomies to afternoon naps, they’re part of my routine—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My home is your dog’s play-and-snuggle paradise! Either toys, walks, and comfy spots to nap, I make sure every stay is fun, safe, and full of love—so they can’t wait to come back.
“Jennifer was such a HUGE part of the success of our last minute spring break trip. We wanted to bring our dog along, but he wasn’t ready for the big crowds. It was so nice that she was right off the strip, so we were able to park, walk him to Jennifer, walk to all the attractions, and pick him up when we were done for the day. Thank you Jennifer! We will be back!”
About: I can board small dogs at our house, and I can sit large and small dogs and horses, chickens and just about any other animals at your house. (We just built a new house with hardwood floors and no fenced yard!) I have loved and trained dogs, cats, and horses since I was a young child. I love and respect all animals, and I get along with most of them right from the get-go. I am retired, healthy, and like to get out and about. I do expect pets to behave, and have the utmost respect for the boundaries you have set for your pet. Some years back, I trained our brown mutt family pet to play the role of Sandy in the HS performance of Annie. She brought the house down at curtain bow! I believe in training animals by showing them respect and being very clear about what it is I am asking of them. So let's go! I want to meet your dog!
About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, and much more animals my entire life. I love taking care of animals and have done it for friends and family for years. I’m very active and love walks and runs! I have 3 animals of my own including 2 dogs and a cat. I have taken care of baby, Senior, adult, healthy, and sick animals. I’m an animal lover and love meeting new people and animals. I have a lot of knowledge with animals for the simple fact that I have been around 100’s my entire life, from saving strays to having pets. I live in Weaverville and would love to help out with taking care of your pet or pets! I work all day but could be flexible. Im a personal trainer, my hours are 4am-2/3pm. I am available with at least a week notice. I can help on M-F and weekends with drop ins and walks. I have a yard as well as 2 friendly playful dogs. I have crates as well as separated floors that are gated off in my home that always help.
About: My husband and I work from home full time currently, are flexible, we adore dogs, and have 15 acres and would love to hang with your pup(s)! We walk several times a day, enjoy staying active hiking and outdoors, and staying at home. We have had dogs most of our lives. My husband has had dogs when he was growing up. I had a dog when I was growing up and we always take care of Rover and family's dogs when folks are out of town. We have a single-story home on 15 acres close to many trails. We do not have any dogs/cats of our own. We can pickup/dropoff pets.
“Miranda is fantastic. Caring. Thoughtful. Engaged with the pups! She has great energy to be with the dogs and a great space for them to run in her fenced in backyard. She’s really a joy to be with too!”
“I will definitely be bring Yuki back!!! 10/10 recommend. This was my first time doing a doggy daycare and I was very nervous about leaving him all day. However, Stefani was really good at communicating with me. She sent messages and pictures all day. He had so much fun that he didn’t cry when I picked him up as he usually does when I arrive home. Once home he crashed and slept really good. Stefani’s backyard and the great company he had was perfect for him to play and run. Thank you for making this such a great experience for us. Don’t hesitate and book with her!”
“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”
“Jess was so great with our dogs over thanksgiving. She sent so many pictures and stories, making us feel much better about the long trip away from them. We could tell that our dogs felt at home with her family!”
“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”
About: Hello! I have been taking care of various animals (dogs, cats, rabbits) nearly my entire life! I have been a dog walker/sitter for others fur babies since I was in high school. I have experience with all different types of quirky personalities and health needs. I adopted my Nellie girl (cocker spaniel) in 2017 and she has not left my side since! We love staying active and she loves to cuddle. Nellie is comfortable around all friendly dogs and cats, and is always up for a game of tug of war. We added summit to the family last year and she is an absolute sweetheart. I currently work from home all through the week so I am available for plenty of walks, attention and playtime in the yard all day long. I have a large rural yard (no fence) and energetic pups to keep yours busy! Any dogs in my home has free rein of the house(couch, bed) but can easily be crated if desired. If preferred I have a spare room (I call the doggy room) for senior pups or dogs that just may need some alone time.
“Jasper loves hanging out with Samantha and the rest of the animals. He gets lots of exercise and socialization that is soooo needed for my only child (dog). Samantha works from home and so do I, so Jasper is comfortable hanging out under the desk while we work and he does that with her too. I appreciate that because most of the time he is with me and my husband only. I hope to bring him once or twice a week in the future for daycare. Samantha is great with pics and to let you know your pet is doing ok.”
“Vicky was fantastic. Spencer was relaxed and happy when we picked him up. She was very attentive sent photos and asked questions. I was appreciative of her concern for my little guy. She was great. I highly recommend her.”
About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.
“Teresa was amazing with our GiGi! We were in from out of town and wanted to spend the day at the Biltmore. Teresa watched GiGi for the day. She was very flexible with our timing needs. She kept us updated with pictures of our dog during the day. We would definitely have Teresa watch our gig again!”

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away.

I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.
About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily. I am currently working independently and using this time to create and spend time with nature’s gifts. My schedule is very flexible - and I am willing to work with you! I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.
About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.
About: I have always loved and enjoyed caring for animals. My home has always had a four legged family member occupying space. From rabbits to pot belly pigs it’s such a joy to love and care for them. I’m currently a full time student that takes online classes. So my schedule is pretty free and flexible. I don’t have a traditional job so I’m home a lot. I have a front and back yard that I can walk your fur baby in. I also have 2 friendly fur babies of my own to keep them company.
About: Need someone to love on your fur babies while you're on vacation or have an extended or unexpected trip? I've got you covered! I'm an avid animal lover and professional pet sitter located right here in the area. I'm a mature reliable woman who works from a laptop so all I need is good Wi-Fi and a sweet dog or cat to care for and I'm happy. I've still got openings for fall of 2026 so reach out and let me know how I can give you some peace of mind while you're away. I work virtually, and can work from anywhere I have Wi-Fi. Whether it's moving into your home office or popping in for a play date, I'm your gal. I come with my own laptop and a magic bag of pet treats! I am a mature women and am neat and clean, and .I'll love and care for your babies as if they were my own (and yes, I spoil them just as much). So, relax knowing your pets and home are in the safest, most loving hands this side of the dog park!
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and I grew up around animals. I love going on walks and taking care of dogs and cats I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week as well as weekend. Just need a few days notice beforehand I don’t currently have a fenced yard but i will leash your pets and the pet must be crate trained if I am not around.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, I grew up with dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, horses, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs. I feel like I’ve had it all, I am also a very seasoned Vet tech. I am expierenced with giving animals medication as well. If I am watching a dog I will be sure to make sure they get enough exercise, and any other pets I will make sure they all get love and cuddles! My own pets are super spoiled, and I would treat your pets just like they were my own. I don’t care about breeds, from working in a vets office I do have experience with animals that can sometimes be moody. I sure hope I get to talk to you soon! I do currently work 3 days a week, so pets that will be staying in my home will be taken care of before and after work by me. My partner is also at the house throughout the day and treats any animal that comes into our home like his own. I will take your pups for walks/hikes, and to the dog park if your pet is dog friendly. I believe allowing them to get their energy out is very important.
About: I have always had animals in my life. My first job was working at a dog kennel and I absolutely loved it! I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and am also great with cats. You can trust that your furry loved one will be well taken care of! I work from home in Weaverville currently. I am signing up for rover because I am passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I am available weekdays after 5pm and full time on the weekends. :) I am respectful of other peoples space and will keep clear consistent communication about your pets needs and how I can help ease your mind as much as possible. I understand that our pets mean the world to us, I am reliable, trustworthy and will provide excellent care!
About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!
About: I am 44 years old and have many pets throughout the years. Currently I have a super high energy, playful little rescue from Brother Wolf. She is a lab/cattle dog and keeps us on our toes. She loves to play with her 6 doggie best friends next door and would love your dog too, I am sure. I am high energy and love to take the dogs for walks and even down to the river when allowed and appropriate! our home is a lovely rural home with lots of space to play and explore. Our home is clean and safe and comfortable. Your dog would be treated as well as our own! We have tons of space to roam on leash. Thanks for your time!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for about 10 years now. I have experience from bottle feeding new born kittens to our giant German Shepard’s! I spend the entire day hanging out and playing with the pups. We have an area for them to play as much as they want. I’m home all day to make sure your fur baby has everything they need to stay happy and well taken care of. We have a crazy amount of toys, outside we have a hurdle jump, and tennis ball launcher. We make sure their never bored and have lots to do!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 13. I fostered border collie/lab puppy from 2 weeks to 8 months old a few years ago. I have cared for and lived with many different cats and dogs of different ages and with different temperaments-- I would love to spend some time with your fluffy family member! I'm currently in between seasonal work with Outward Bound, so I am totally free to care for your pets. I can be contacted on a last minute notice and I will gladly help. I unfortunately cannot have pets at my home, but I'm happy to take yours to parks/on hikes or hang out at your place, be it staying overnight, going for potty breaks/play dates, etc.

“Tobey had a wonderful time at Katie and Jeremy’s. I loved all the daily photos ! We will definitely bring Tobey back to this loving family the next time we need to board Tobey!”
“Nancy did an excellent job caring for Jimmy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, professional, and very communicative. She kept me updated and made sure Jimmy was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during his entire stay. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing Jimmy was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best sitters anyone could ask for! This is my dog’s second stay with Joseph and Andrea. They take such great care of her, and send me the cutest photos! They have welcomed Tela into their family with open arms. I will be definitely using them again and again and again!!”
“Words cannot express how much we love Brody! Brody has cared for our energetic pup a few times...most recently for 2 weeks. Brody kept us updated with photos and videos and reassured us when we were really missing our pup. He has been especially flexible with us & has helped us with last minute requests for dog sitting.”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“Samantha did a wonderful job! My kids came home happy and healthy, and so tired! The environment was a healthy and interesting one for my Bassett hounds who love to smell and explore! Samantha gave me daily updates and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my fur babies were enjoying their too!”
“Our dog Sam was well taking care of with Giuliana. Sam is a high energy hound and Giuliana made sure he had outside play time multiple times a day with plenty of video and picture updates. He also got along great with her 2 other dogs. Would highly recommend Giuliana.”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“Our dog Cleo loved Alexis! She took very good care of our baby. She sent pics and updates and was great with communication. We will definitely rebook with her when we need a sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“Miranda was tentative and so caring with my pup. She gave me great updates / pics during the duration of my his 3 day stay. I felt so comfortable with him in her care. I will certainly use her again when I need overnight or day care!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jessica and Jack’s care of Blue and the overall experience. They were super responsive, friendly, helpful and accommodating from the first time I contacted them until the end of our dog’s stay. Jessica sent pictures and/or videos every day and so we didn’t have any concerns or worries during our time away. Very grateful for the love and care they gave our Blue- highly recommended!”
“My dog Georgie loved his stay! It was our first time having someone other than close family watching him. But all of that anxiety and stress went away when we met Laird and her sweet little pup. I will be booking again in the future!”
“Rosaria took such good care of my Lexi!!! She kept me updated and went over and beyond to make sure Lexi was safe and well adjusted!! She even fixed her fresh turkey and pumpkin!!! She played so hard she slept the whole way home. 100% recommend”
“Daniella and her family are amazing people. Our dogs were well cared for and it was so nice not having to worry about them. We will definitely continue using them for our dogs.”

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.
