Denise takes care of that and any other detail requests I have to make sure everyone is cozy when Im away. Meds, diet changes, etc. She can handle all of it. Glad I found her, has helped so much.”

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!

“Brooklin was absolutely wonderful when taking care of my sweet Junie! She did a meet and greet with me and my Junie to get familiar with Junie and her routine. She kept me updated and sent me pictures and video of their time together. I will definitely be using her in the future! :)”

“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.”

Christine R.

“Jesse was absolutely fantastic. She made sure everything was understood when we met and kept great contact with me while I was away. She was able to navigate a special request I had during the drop in. She definitely cares about animals, that comes through clearly and she is absolutely dependable.”

Steve M.

“Ashleigh took such great care of my babies - I knew I'd be leaving them in good hands when we did the meet and greet, and it couldn't be more true. Her reports filled me with comfort while I was away, knowing she was looking after them with love.”

“Scott is great! He is a good communicator, reliable and loves my dogs like his own! He has been doing drop ins with my two crazy pups and has been great. Would highly recommend. 10/10”

“Kandi is amazing! She came and met my pups before hand and took excellent care of them while we were out of town. It was so nice knowing that they were safe and loved at home when we weren’t there! She even sent a picture of our boys having play time! Kandi will be our sitter of choice from here on out- Thank you Kandi!”

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.

“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.

“Kaysee had great communication with me despite me being out of service most of the time. I was also able to add a day at the last minute. Thanks for looking out for Lucky so well.”

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.

“I couldn’t have asked for someone better!! Aj did such a fantastic job with our 3 cats. She was always sending the cutest updates and pictures when she dropped in. She made sure they got in lots of play time on her visits and was always on top of the food, water and litter boxes.”
