Dog Walking Weaverville

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.

“Miranda has exceeded my expectations! She is friendly and very professional. She spent an hour with us during a meet and greet to make sure my dog and I were comfortable with her. She’s respectful and great with communication! Only thing I wish, is that there were two of her!”

“Kate helped us out when we needed a last minute dog walker. We are very grateful. We appreciate her great communication. We will definitely be using her again :)”

About: I've had pets my whole life. I did 4 years of vocational training in veterinary medicine throughout high school, and I also pet sitted for neighborhood pets during that time. Afterwards, I went to college and got a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences, focusing on Behavior and Well-Being. I had many animal related jobs throughout that time and am fully ready to return to caring for cats and dogs. I'm currently working full time, so I am a bit busy. However, I am trying to get a part time job so I can have more time to dedicate to your beloved pets. I prefer to care for animals in their own home, so they can still feel a sense of safety and comfort if they are wary around strangers or don't care for new environments.

“Megan was so caring for my pups! She kept in touch with updates and pictures, and made sure they got exercise and extra love in my absence. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”

About: Dogs have always been a joy for me to be around. I’ve completed several dog-sitting stays, including a two-week stay and multiple week-long stays, where I cared for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. While I’m newer to professional dog walking, I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to giving every dog plenty of exercise, affection, and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I work hard to make both dogs and owners feel comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I work from home on my small business and attend occasional makers markets, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, and drop-in visit needs throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Safety is my top priority during every walk. I regularly walk my mother-in-law’s dog and am experienced with keeping dogs secure on leash while paying close attention to our surroundings. I take appropriate precautions based on the environment, including traffic, wildlife, weather conditions, and interactions with other dogs. I understand that every dog has different comfort levels and needs, and I work to ensure each walk is safe, positive, and stress-free.

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.

“Rosko loves walking with Emmie! She's got a lovely calm energy which balances Rosko's enthusiasm, and they're happy to see each other. She's also great at communication, letting me know what's happening and being clear about availability. Five wags!”

About: I have many years of experience with small animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and medical needs. I also have some experience with large breed animals from volunteer work at a horse rescue. I work four days a week from 7:30am-4:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I am available all day Friday thru Sunday. Your dog will be attended to in the morning before work, at lunch (if permitted), and immediately after work hours. My home is an apartment located in a complex with a dog park. Otherwise, your dog will be let out to use the bathroom and for a walk multiple times daily on a leash.

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.

“Taylor was prompt and professional. Rocco was very excited to see him each day. I appreciate the feedback from Taylor as well. We will use Taylor in the future. Thanks Taylor!”

About: Pets have been part of my caregiving life for decades. Through years of in-home care for elderly and ill clients, I’ve walked, fed, and loved countless dogs and cats — including seniors and pets needing medication. I treat every animal with the same patience and attention I give people. As a retired caregiver, I have a flexible, open schedule and can give your pet consistent, reliable attention. I’m generally available most days and will work with you to find timing that aligns with your travel plans. I specialize in both short and longer-term overnight house and pet sitting. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d give my own. With years of experience managing households, I follow your pet’s routines, administer medications if needed, and keep everything safe, clean, and calm. Your home will be just as you left it, your pet even happier.

About: I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I have always loved every single animal I have come across. I have pets in my family so I understand how important a pet can be to a person. Trusting someone with a pet can be scary but you can have full faith in me:) I recently graduated with my associate’s degree and will be starting dental assistant school in August, which is an exciting next step for me! Outside of school and work, I love spending my free time reading, crafting, and hanging out with my animals. I’m a very hands-on, creative person, and I really enjoy staying busy in ways that still feel relaxing and fun. I also have a clear and flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and available when needed for pet care visits. hen caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering medications when needed and making sure pets stay healthy and stress-free while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of attention, supervision, and enrichment throughout the day. I make sure they have a safe space to relax, regular feeding times, play sessions, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. I also keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Providing excellent and attentive care for your pets is my top priority. I want to give you and your pet peace of mind while you’re away. Currently this is my second half time job, so I’m able to dedicate the rest of my time to your pet sitting needs. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can tailor to your needs. I spend as much time as possible with your pets, that way they feel comforted and at ease while you’re away. For dogs I am able to go on multiple walks a day and provide play time for them to get all their energy out. For cats, we can play as much as they want to. I also have experience taking cats outside on leashes.

About: I've grown up around big dogs my whole life and love all pets more than anything. I believe every pet should feel loved and happy with the humans they around no matter how old, or young, they may be. With a very open schedule, I am happy to commit however long or short needed for your special companion! I am looking to find many jobs throughout my last semester at UNCA. I plan to schedule my days around walks or sittings I may have booked since I only have a few classes. I miss being around my dogs at home so helping care for your pets brings me joy! I respect the client and pets' space- no questions asked. Never hesitate to give me lists and lists of expectations, or just tell me to have fun! Whatever you need done will be accomplished!
