About: I’ve cared for animals in a wide range of environments, from farms on the Big Island of Hawaii to horses in Appalachia and North Florida. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, (including caring for more than 30 pets in the Asheville area in one summer alone!) I’m dependable, grounded, and comfortable working independently. As a mother currently studying social work, I value calm communication, consistency, and creating a safe, relaxed environment for both pets and homes. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I aim to provide attentive, trustworthy care that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m also happy to include plant watering and basic plant care during visits when needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m local to the Lake Junaluska and Waynesville area and have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer while school is out. I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, and companionship throughout the day. Because I live nearby, commuting is easy for me, which helps me stay reliable and responsive for clients. I enjoy creating calm, steady environments for animals and genuinely value the trust involved in caring for someone’s pets and home. I currently provide care in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in the environment they already know and trust. I understand how important consistency, routine, and familiarity are for animals while their owners are away. I aim to maintain a calm, clean, and dependable environment by carefully following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, communicative throughout each stay, and attentive to both pet safety and home security. My goal is always to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and emotionally at ease while giving owners peace of mind that their home and animals are in responsible hands!

“Through the snow storm! Noone else could make it. Not sure how she made that happen, I think she put the truck in 4wd and went 5mph. The roads werent plowed. She saved the day for those cats. They had no other meal that day. They had food in their belly because she made sure of it. I am so grateful for her.”

“Autumn took great care of my 3 cats . This was the second time I had Autumn do daily visits and I highly recommend her as a reliable and thorough pet sitter. She responded quickly to any questions I had and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing they were doing just fine ! She also brought in my mail and packages and sent photos each visit .”

“Olivia did a great job with my two dogs. She was very caring and sweet to them and made sure to ask lots of questions about their routine. They warmed right up to her too!”

Molly M.

“She was great with my wild little fur babies. Communication was good and she sent pictures! It was great knowing she spent the whole hour with them as scheduled and even feed the turtle and fish!”

“Allison, we can't thank you enough for taking care of "Kat" during our two week cruise to Alaska. We were initially hesitant in booking through Rover not knowing what to expect or how the pet sitters were screened to begin with. We're so glad we did and even more thankful that Kat had you to check in on her daily while we were gone. The love you have for animals is evident and again, we are extremely grateful that we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about Kat. Oh, and anytime we got Internet service while in port, first thing we did was check out the "Rover Report." We got a kick out of them! For anyone reading this review, if you're looking for a pet caregiver that is reliable, caring and will love and spend time with your fur baby like her own, look no further and book with Allison. We will definitely be using her again! Erman & Roberta D.”

Roberta D.

“I continue to not be able to say enough positive things about Ashleigh. She checks on our two senior cats when we are out of town and it gives such peace of mind to know they are in such good hands.”

Angela N.

“Brooklin did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. Each day we received pictures and little videos, and when we returned home our cats were happy and did not act as though they’d been socially neglected for days. We will not hesitate to have Brooklin care for them again in the future.”

Beth B.

“Saving Grace for my cats. During the snow storm she made sure the cats were fed and comfortable and safe. I can't express how grateful I was and am for Jesse. I knew what was happening at all times which eased my worry so much. She always communicates fully. Even my cautious cat loves her. You can tell without a doubt she operates with care and love. She is an absolute gem.”

Steve M.

“Lauren did an amazing job with our 3 cats! She came for a meet and greet beforehand and took time to meet each one individually. She followed all our instructions and provided prompt communication and updates regarding our kids. We would definitely hire her again!”

Angela B.

“Repeat customer!! Karmyn is absolutely wonderful! She’s always flexible, super communicative, and keeps us updated with great photos and messages while we’re away. We completely trust her with our pups and know they’re in the best hands every time. Definitely someone we rely on and highly recommend!”

Karolanne T.

“Our kitties, Bubble & Squeak, were so happy to have Kandi take care of them over the holidays that they hardly even noticed we were gone. Well, maybe they noticed a little bit... Thanks so much, Kandi, for treating our babies with love and kindness. We will be seeing you again soon!”

Cindy K.

“Tina does a great job taking care of our dog. She has great communication, takes excellent pictures, and goes above and beyond our expectations.”

Miranda S.

“Carrie took wonderful care with my babies. I appreciated her communication.”

Sandy K.

“Wow! Heather is an absolute gem who exceeded our expectations and put our anxieties to rest! I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She is competent, friendly, ready to help, and most importantly, was really sweet and patient with our cats--one of whom is extremely shy of strangers. By the end of our vacation Heather had won over and made friends with our scaredy boy kitty. Heather kept us apprised of each visit with photos as well as detailed and humorous updates that really set our minds and hearts at ease. She was also more than willing to water a few of our plants and tend to a few things around our house. Please book Heather if you are looking for the very best pet sitter!”

About: Are you looking for some love and fun for your girl or boy while their loved one is away ! Can’t wait to see what this brings and the connections I am able to make ! I’m a full-time worker who recently moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. While I do have a busy schedule during the week, I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and exploring all that the area has to offer. I previously spent time dog sitting in the Atlanta area and had a wonderful experience building relationships with both pets and their owners. If you have a dog or other animal that needs care, I’d love to help! I’m available for house sitting on Saturdays and Sundays, and I can begin house-sitting stays after 5:00 PM on Fridays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Now that I’m settled in WNC, I’m excited to continue providing dependable and loving care for local pets. With some local parks near it has been fun exploring.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 5 years including family friends as well as my own! I recently raised two chihuahuas that are my fur babies. I have experience with both puppies to older dogs. I treat my animals as family and plan to treat yours just the same! I currently work PRN in the operating room and I love animals. I’m looking to make some extra cash for the holidays and meeting some new amazing fur babies. If you are looking for a one time walk or walks throughout the week I’ll try my best to help you out. I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment complex! I am willing to come visit with your fur babies as well as take them out to use the bathroom and go on walks!

About: I've taken care of all manner of critters from chickens to puppies for several years. I have been pet sitting, and sometimes farm sitting, for the past eight years. An active individual, my neighbors and family friends often pay me to walk their dogs. I'm currently completing my masters degree virtually, allowing me to devote time and energy to caring for the needs of your pet. I often enjoy running, walking, and physical activity in the morning, followed by coursework in the afternoon. Depending on the needs of your pet, they are more than welcome to join me in these activities in the am. I periodically work at a local pottery shop for 2-3 hours, after which I normally go for a walk. While your pet may not enjoy the pottery as much as I do and may be better suited at home, depending on their needs, an afternoon walk is certainly in the mix. It's been my experience that a happy dog is one that gets to move around. Depending on the needs of your pet, activity and engagement with me are certainly in the cards.
