Pet Sitting in Weaverville

“Thanks for taking care of our babies. We found them in good shape. I appreciate your diligence and sending pictures every day. Would definitely hire again for a future trip.”

“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”

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.

About: I’ve been sitting dogs at my Florida home for many years. I moved to Asheville two years ago for work and now I’m mostly retired. I live in North Asheville in a small apartment and available to house and pet sit. Having boarded dogs in my own house for many years you can bet I will give your home utmost respect and your pets the best care and companionship. Walk dogs. Play with the dogs and cats and keep them content. And hang out on watch lots of TV together. Since I’m mostly retired I have lots of free time to spend with the pets. All instructions by owner for their pet care will be closely followed and respected. I’m sensitive about pets food needs and won’t feed them human food or let them up on the furniture if not allowed. Cat litter boxes will be cleaned daily. Longer stays will include brushing and baths for the dogs.

“Haley is THE best!!! She was so great with my babies and patient when my dog was a little uneasy on her first visit! Always on time and responds to texts in a timely manner. She was willing to adjust to a changing schedule as well. I will definitely be requesting her again and always! She deserves more than a 5-star review!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for around 4 years. Friends, family and roommates have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their animals. I work from home and travel at least once a month for my job. I create my own schedule so I can be very flexible I have a large yard for your dog to run around and play as well as one dog of my own who is very friendly. My neighborhood is very walkable, I’m within walking distance of Lake Louise Park & I’m close by to other dog-friendly parks as well. There’s plenty of room if your dog needs to be crated indoors as well.

“Kumiko is the best! My dogs are extremely important to me and it is hard for me to leave them, but having someone like Kumiko to take care of them makes it much easier. She goes the extra mile to make sure they’re taken care of.”

“Ariel went above and beyond while we were gone for a week. Betty and Rocco were very happy when we came back and the house and the yard looked great. Will definitely use her again soon.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals since I was a small child. We’ve had everything from parrots, chickens and fish to dogs cats and snakes. I regularly house sit and pet sit for friends and family. I also have cared for animals every day at the Brevard Zoo and have cared for others at previous jobs such as the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park, the May Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and the Avian Conservation Center: Center for Birds of Prey. Currently I work for the ASPCA with fearful dogs as a care and enrichment technician. Currently I work for the ASPCA with fearful dogs as a care and enrichment technician. Outside of the general care and husbandry duties I fulfill daily I also have pets of my own. I am unable to host other’s animals in my own home due to being a renter, however in your home I will follow any and all rules set up for your pet’s safety / general house rules or any special requests. I understand your pet’s happiness, health, and safety is of the utmost concern when you are away from them and I strive to meet all their needs.

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

“Taylor did a great job taking care of Oliver. He gave reports on our cat as well as sent pictures. Our plants were well watered and doing well when we returned.”

“Becky was great. Very sweet and our kitties seemed to feel comfortable with her immediately. She sent fun, creative photos and we felt our furries were in good hands while we were gone.”

Desiree W.

“Lyndsi was absolutely amazing with our senior cat and kitten who needed daily medicine. Our senior is shy but warmed right up to her. The detailed updates and numerous photos helped keep my worries away. She even left the cutest drawing of our kitties. I will always book with Lyndsi!”

“Miranda was great with our cat Jasper while we were gone. She communicated well, was timely with her visits and won over his little feline heart. Would certainly recommend her services to anyone.”

“Michelle went above and beyond for my Molly! Michelle was quick to learn my dogs habits and treated her like her own pets! Seeing how happy Molly was with Michelle made me feel safe and happy on my travels. I can’t wait to use Michelle’s pet sitting skills again!”

“Jessie is great! So passionate about his work with dogs. I feel lucky to have such a knowledgeable, caring person taking care of my little Yorkie! My puppy has learned so much from Jessie. Highly recommend and feel 100% comfortable leaving my Ella in his care.”

Vickie E.

About: I’m very attuned and sensitive to animal body language. Dogs tend to love me at first sight—and the feeling is mutual. 😂 I’m like the cool auntie who’s always ready to play, but I am also super observant and can see when a dog is tired, overstimulated, cranky, etc. I don’t take animal behavior personally. I just watch and respond. Until the hurricane I was volunteering at Brother Wolf, walking every kind of dog from the super leash-pull-y to the “just want to sit in the shade and never go home.” I have my own business as an editor and copywriter. I make my own schedule and often work from home, so short notice could work IF it’s in the Weaverville/N. Asheville area. With more advance notice, I could clear my schedule or plan it around your pet care needs. As much as I’d love to offer boarding services for dogs, I have a sweet cat at home who would not appreciate this. :) Instead, give me all your intricately detailed instructions, your pet’s weird quirks, and whatever other anxious pet-parent stuff you want me to know. I will hold it all, follow it to the letter, be so sweet to your baby—plus I’ll send you photos to keep you updated. I also like to leave a note when I’m done to let you know how we did. If your lil’ buddy needs more constant companionship, I can bring my work to your place! I don’t even need WiFi, I can hotspot from my phone. 🙌🏽

“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”
