“Alexis is a really considerate sitter who took the time to send us a lot of photos of Dory and also take her on a few walks. She has an enclosed yard which was handy and a very comfortable apartment - I have no doubt our dog slept on every cushion within jumping range. Would highly recommend Alexis and will contact her again in the future!”

“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!”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

“Jess, Danny, their daughters and pets were fantastic with Opal! They gave me daily updates about how she was integrating into their household and it made me feel at ease to know she was being well loved while I was away. They have kids, a dog and cats. Opal had never spent any time with cats or children and she did great with them! I’m so glad she had such an enriching experience as I want for her to be a well socialized dog. I’m a proud dog mom!! Their updates included all the details a pet owner would want to know & we’re really heart warming to receive. Opal enjoyed being loved on by their sweet daughters, rough housing with their dog and cuddling with their cat. She truly was a part of the family. I would love to use their services again because I know she had a really great time and felt right at home! Thank you Jess and Danny!”

As a pet parent myself to 4 cats and 2 dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Two of my cats receive medications twice daily, and two are seniors! I’m experienced with pets of all personalities and love making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Your pets will be treated like family!

“Donna was the perfect pet sitter while I was on vacation for 10 days. She was very communicative, sent photos throughout my absence, kept my home clean and well taken care of, and was very thoughtful toward my cat, Lulu. Donna had a sheet that I filled out with all the information needed to take care of Lulu - I never had a pet sitter be so organized and thoughtful. Lulu is also special needs, requiring a supplement and an eye out to make sure she doesn't jump off anything too high. Donna did great in understanding what needed to be done. She's also a sweet and caring person. I highly recommend Donna and will most definitely book her pet services 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!!! :)”

About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me. I live in a quiet, comfortable home that’s very pet‑friendly and easy for animals to settle into. Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled. Safe indoor environment: Inside, pets can relax, nap, and settle in a pet‑friendly space where I’m always nearby. At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets. Communication: You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — changes in appetite, behavior, or comfort — I’ll let you know right away.

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.

About: I’ve been around dogs and taking of them since I was about 10. I’d regularly watch neighbors dogs as well as my own. I’ve never not been around a dog. I pride myself in providing the best care necessary to make sure every dog gets a pleasant experience with me. I know how to walk, feed, bathe, and take them out when they need to potty. I have plenty of time and availability to watch your fur baby. Anytime you need me, i can be there. I don’t have a busy schedule and I’d love to fill my time with dog sitting/walking. I can keep your doggie company anytime they need. Clingy or not, I’ll be there! I love walking dogs it’s great bonding time. I know how to properly listen and understand each request of how to take care of your fur baby. I can crate them if need be, walk them, take them outside for a potty break, and even play with them!

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to pet sit, walk, feed, and play with their pets. I have a 10-month-old mini long-haired dachshund named Tucker, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and daily routines. I’m very active and outgoing, and I love being outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, exercise, or calm companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a college student with one in-person class on Thursdays and the rest of my coursework online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I also work part-time at Abercrombie & Fitch, but I plan my shifts in advance and have plenty of time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks. Because I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication (if needed). I make sure pets are supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have taken care of nearly every kind of domesticated animal at every age, so nothing is too big or too small for me to handle! Today, I have 3 cats and 1 horse that keep me busy, but allow for lots of spare time to help others! I only work part time currently, so Thur-Sat from 10-3, so my schedule is pretty available! I am also very flexible when it comes to timing! I am very detail oriented and follow instructions to a T. The cat rescue i have worked with in the past said i am a "gold tier" cat parent. My cats at home are fed wet canned food with teeth treats twice a day and dried anchovies for omega 3's. They also have access to a rotation of toys that change every week. My dog, who i had for 15 years, went to a doggy daycare 2-3 times a week and we went on a walk everyday with lots and lots of sniff breaks! I also keep a camera in my home to keep an eye on all my pets! I believe in giving the same care to your pets as I do to mine!!

About: I have had pets my entire life and grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and even sometimes quail! I am currently a full-time mom of 1 human child and 3 of the four legged variety. I have cared for a variety of different dog breeds and temperament's. I’m very active and would love to get your dogs outside on walks, runs, or hikes. I have always treated our animals like part of the family and I will treat your pet with the same love, respect, and kindness that I give to my own. My rates reflect quality - but affordable - pet care. I send a lot of picture updates throughout the day in order to set your mind at ease - I know how hard it can be to leave your pet while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule since I am a stay at home mom! Just let me know your current needs and I can likely accommodate most schedules. I am currently not boarding or watching pets in my home, but I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable in their own space. I offer to do long dog walks and play-time so that they go home tired at the end of the day!

“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!”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

“Jess, Danny, their daughters and pets were fantastic with Opal! They gave me daily updates about how she was integrating into their household and it made me feel at ease to know she was being well loved while I was away. They have kids, a dog and cats. Opal had never spent any time with cats or children and she did great with them! I’m so glad she had such an enriching experience as I want for her to be a well socialized dog. I’m a proud dog mom!! Their updates included all the details a pet owner would want to know & we’re really heart warming to receive. Opal enjoyed being loved on by their sweet daughters, rough housing with their dog and cuddling with their cat. She truly was a part of the family. I would love to use their services again because I know she had a really great time and felt right at home! Thank you Jess and Danny!”

“Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.”

“I have never felt better leaving my dog at someone’s home. Joe was so communicative and kind, and just truly loves animals. I have a young, energetic German Shepard puppy so he can definitely be a handful, but he had such an amazing time playing with the other dogs, and I could tell he was being well cared for! Thanks Joe & Andrea!”
