“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first time leaving Oliver for more than a couple of days and I was feeling anxious, but when we picked him up from Nancy’s place he seemed right at home! He made friends with her dog and the other guests, enjoyed running in her yard and watching the farm animals, and Nancy sent us the cutest photos while we were away. I’d definitely recommend her and we will book again in the future!”
“Joseph and Andrea were perfect sitters for my two pups! They sent pictures and updates and were incredibly prompt in their responses. They were also very flexible when my trip was cut short so I was able to pick up my dogs earlier than expected. I’m pretty sure my youngest dog would have stayed longer if given the choice which is a very good sign!”
“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.”

“Melody and her husband did an excellent job looking after my two rowdy pups. She watched them over a holiday weekend (Easter) and l couldn't have asked for better care. She was very sweet and friendly, her husband was the same. She was very informative and sent lots of pictures of the dogs. I would definitely use her services again and l highly recommend her for those looking for excellent care.”
“Jen was wonderful. Went out of her way to make sure the dog would be safe and happy. Bought her a toy, walked her a bunch and sent her home happy and worn out from playing. She was a lovely person, easy to correspond with, and took great care of Flora. Thank you, Jen!”
“Don't hesitate to have Jessica and John watch your pup! Our 8 month old puppy Hazel had her very first stay with a sitter with Jessica and John and I felt SUCH peace of mind while we were out of state on a family trip! They have great energy, a sweet family, and show so much love- it's palpable walking into their house! Our dog is very much a hound and will sniff and puppy chew through anything- she is not able to be off leash yet outside of the house because she has terrible hound recall haha, but Jessica took all of my concerns to heart, followed my very detailed list of Hazel-care, and took GREAT care of her. No issues at all. They are the kindest family! We will absolutely be calling them again for our next pet sitting needs! Thank you, Jessica and fam! We appreciate you taking such good care of Hazel!”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Ann & Jaren are fantastic. It definitely made our trip easier knowing that our dog was in loving hands. The picture updates were a nice a touch. Ann & Jaren will be our go-to for any future travels.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and understanding. I have experience working with older dogs and sick animals, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things and recognize when a pet may not be feeling their best. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would want for my own pets.

“This was our second time using Kara to help care for our cat, Ramen, while we're away. Kara is awesome! She sends through updates and lots of pictures.

About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had at least one in my home for as long as I can remember! I currently have two cats of my own: one who prefers things on their own terms and one who wants to be everyone's best friend. Living with such different personalities has taught me that every cat is unique, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your cat is shy, playful, cuddly, independent, or a little bit grumpy, I’m happy to care for them in the way that makes them most comfortable. I also have experience giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, feeding special diets, and handling all the day-to-day tasks that come with keeping cats happy and healthy.
“Nisa did a great job with my kitties, Stella and Neptune and was very communicative. Thee cats were super happy and bouncy when we got home, and well taken care of. My house looked great as well. Excited to work together in the future and would def trust her to watch the babies again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.

About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years as the trusted go-to for friends and family, and I truly love what I do. I have my own cat and have experience caring for multiple cats at once, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and feeding schedules all at the same time. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I adjust my care to match them. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), and keeping their routine consistent while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills or inhalers if needed. I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can see how your cat is doing and feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and stress-free until you return. 🐾

“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.”
“Laird was a super fantastic help on short notice when my fiancé and I were in town on a long weekend trip. We needed a place for Finnegan for the day, and he could not have been better cared for! 🥰 She sent plenty of great videos and one of the pictures she took just became his new profile pic! 🤩 Thanks, Laird!”
“Kristin was wonderful! We reached out with a last-minute request as our pet sitter for a wedding fell through and she was extremely accommodating. Our dog, Trooper, had never been watched by anyone outside of family before so we were a little nervous but he was in great hands! We would highly recommend!”
“Liessy, my mini-Schnauzer has serious separation anxiety. Miranda got down on the ground with Liessy and gave her a few treats and Liessy went along with this very well. While I was away, Miranda sent several photos showing my pup playing and getting along with a Golden Retriever. She's normally a bit leery of large dogs. Miranda knows how to make the newcomer comfortable. I'll definitely use her again when I'm in the Asheville area.”

“Gabriel was fantastic: on time, great attitude, super friendly, a real pro. Our pup Jack liked him immediately and he made Jack feel at ease, which is not easy to do because he is nervous when we leave him. So glad Gabe jumped in at the last minute to help us out while we were on a quick trip out of town. He came to our hotel room and stayed for a few hours while we were at a concert.”

“I'm so glad we found Nate!! He was so patient, easy going and communicated every step of the way. He didn't make us feel like our dogs were nuisances or an inconvenience like a previous sitter made us feel. I was so happy to see both my dogs having so much fun running around with Bilbo in the huge fenced in area. Bilbo is the sweetest dog ever! We're going to be repeat customers.”

“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!”
“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!!! :)”

Having a flexible schedule also means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve rather than rushing through a visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I follow their feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions closely while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping things clean and secure. Most importantly, I communicate with owners throughout the stay and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
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.

When I board, there are no other animals in the house. However, my land lord has a dog and they are on the land or near the house at times. Therefore, I am not able to board dogs who are reactive in any way to dogs or men.
“Kara was flexible and understanding when I needed to change the time of our walk because of the heat. (My dog doesn’t handle heat well.) Then, she was understanding when thunder frightened my dog, and my dog refused to continue the walk.”
About: I am a teacher in Asheville looking to hang out with some lovely animals in my free time. Growing up I have always had animals but primarily dogs so I have a strong background in dog behaviors and needs. My fiancé, Ellen, is also available to support during the week days that wouldn’t be optimal for me to leave during my teaching days. This gives a lot more availability! She has always grown up with cats and dogs and would love to help support to give them the best care. Often we both come for meet and greets/visits to ensure we give the best care 😊 I look forward to care for your animal in anyway I can. Please let me know of any questions as I hope to be flexible with any needs. During the week I am gone roughly 8am-4pm but will be home during the weekend times. During the summer months I am available throughout the day times. My fiancé is a nurse and works 3 days out of the week. The schedule is flexible but sporadic. I love to get out for long walks and get as much movement as possible. If that’s for your animal I’d love to get them out! If not I am cautious about the animals typical areas and what works best for them.

“Katie and Jeremy were awesome! They were available for a last minute long stay and were very quick to respond. They sent daily pictures and even took our pup for a hike! Highly recommend a stay with them!!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“So happy to have found Sarah and her sweet family. Lincoln stays with ease and seems right at home in their environment. The backyard for Lincoln is an extra plus.”
“Alexis was a great host and Max came back happy and relaxed! She sent reliable communication and was super easy to coordinate schedules with. Will recommend and will book again!”
“This was our first time leaving Oliver for more than a couple of days and I was feeling anxious, but when we picked him up from Nancy’s place he seemed right at home! He made friends with her dog and the other guests, enjoyed running in her yard and watching the farm animals, and Nancy sent us the cutest photos while we were away. I’d definitely recommend her and we will book again in the future!”
“Joseph and Andrea were perfect sitters for my two pups! They sent pictures and updates and were incredibly prompt in their responses. They were also very flexible when my trip was cut short so I was able to pick up my dogs earlier than expected. I’m pretty sure my youngest dog would have stayed longer if given the choice which is a very good sign!”
“We highly recommend Brody! He took incredible care of our 2yo poodle, who had never stayed overnight anywhere before. Our pup, Pierre, made a new friend named Blu and had a blast. We'll definitely be booking Brody again!”
“Don't hesitate to have Jessica and John watch your pup! Our 8 month old puppy Hazel had her very first stay with a sitter with Jessica and John and I felt SUCH peace of mind while we were out of state on a family trip! They have great energy, a sweet family, and show so much love- it's palpable walking into their house! Our dog is very much a hound and will sniff and puppy chew through anything- she is not able to be off leash yet outside of the house because she has terrible hound recall haha, but Jessica took all of my concerns to heart, followed my very detailed list of Hazel-care, and took GREAT care of her. No issues at all. They are the kindest family! We will absolutely be calling them again for our next pet sitting needs! Thank you, Jessica and fam! We appreciate you taking such good care of Hazel!”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“I felt extremely at ease leaving our dog with Kristin and Seth. She has been with them twice, and both times it has been a wonderful experience knowing she was well taken care of while I was away. I enjoyed all of the photos they shared, and I appreciate their flexibility in working around our schedules. I highly recommend them!”
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“Miranda is the best! She took care of my very active puppy, and I knew leaving him that he was in good hands since she is so experienced with dogs. I would 10/10 use Miranda again.”
“Laird was great for our 1.5 year golden. We were from out of town but wanted to bring our pup with for some hiking but he couldn’t stay in the hotel. Laird was flexible as we want to pick him up for a hike and drop him back off the same day!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Hope & Ethan are GREAT people. They saved our Asheville weekend!! Cannot thank them enough for the great care of our baby. We will definitely use them again for our next Asheville trip!”
“Nisa did a wonderful job taking care of Rex! She sent us pictures and videos each day. He was clearly well taken care of, her own dog was no issue to get along with, and we will gladly book Nisa in the future! I highly recommend her!”
“Friendly folks! Have lots of animals of their own so very much ‘animal people’. My dog seemed to be very happy there! I would recommend James and Aimee to anyone who cares about what’s really important!!”
“I am so thankful that I have found Molly!! Our dog Esther absolutely loves going to stay with Molly. When we first got Esther I wanted to find somewhere that Esther felt at home and loved. And we sure did with Molly. As soon as we pull up to Mollys house she is so excited, she does not care at all that I am leaving. Esther has spent several nights over at Mollys and I can’t say enough amazing things about Molly. I trust that Esther is well taken care of and loved and Molly always keeps me up to date with pictures!”
