Dog Walking Woodfin

About: I would love to meet and take care of your pup or kitty! I grew up with several dogs and cats in my house and have always been a huge animal advocate. I’ve been helping to take care of them myself for the past 14-17 years, and I have a cat and dog of my own currently. I love hanging out with dogs, taking them on walks or fun adventures, and snuggling with them in the mornings and at night. If you have any special preferences or needs I am more than happy to work with you on those! I can not wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work from home so I’m very flexible on where I need to be to help take care of your pups and kitties! I also am very flexible and love to go on hikes so I can step away and spend a good chunk of time outside with them! I love to cuddle with dogs, so I’m more than happy to give them all of the love they need. I let dogs on my bed and other furniture so if they need to be close by, they are more than welcome. If they like to keep to themselves in their own home, I’m also happy to give them their space!

“So friendly and accommodating. My dog enjoys her walks and always looks so happy in her photos. I can feel she’s becoming a better walker. Will continue to book in the future”

About: Pet sitting for friends and family for 30 yrs. Experience includes: Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chinchillas, Birds(Budgies to Conures), Snakes & Reptiles, Aquarium Fish & Planted Tanks. I currently work from my cellphone so I am available most of the day for walks and drop in service. I am available morning-noon-night. I have a fenced in backyard that I use for my dog. She is mostly blind and deaf so it’s best to play fetch in a controlled area.

“We've been using Stacey for dog walks for about a year now, and would recommend her to anyone. She is very reliable and I never habe to worry about anything. Our dog loves her also”

About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I understand that each one has different needs, whether that’s lots of playtime, structured walks, or just calm companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or closer attention. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners and simple commands, and I always stay consistent with routines to help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time and attend school, but I have plenty of breaks between classes and free time after school, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the week. I’d love to care for your pet during those times and keep them company. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and feedings, and I can also stay at your home if needed. At the moment, I’m not able to host pets in my own space, but I’m happy to provide care in a way that’s most comfortable for you and your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, or any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and tidy, and I pay attention to any changes in behavior to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. If needed, I can provide updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, but I’m very flexible with drop-in visits, walks, and in-home stays to meet your pet’s needs.

“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!”

“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!”

Sarah S.

“Kara was flexible and understanding when I needed to change the time of our walk because of the heat. (My dog doesn’t handle heat well.) Then, she was understanding when thunder frightened my dog, and my dog refused to continue the walk.”

About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.

“Shannon has watched our fur babies on multiple occasions when we have been out of town. She also walks our dog, Winnie. She is very responsive and timely. We have had a wonderful experience with her, and I often recommend her to friends. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”

About: Hello, My name is Jenny and I’ve been in the animal care field for 6+ years as a pet caretaker and veterinary professional. I aim to make each stay as comfy and enjoyable for your furry friend while you’re away. Using my knowledge in the veterinary field, you can rest assure that your pet will receive the absolute best care. I am comfortable with all breeds and temperaments of cats and dogs. I work hard to gain the trust of shy and nervous animals. During meet and greets I will ask questions such as if your pets have any allergies or medical conditions, what is their feeding schedule, and what is their favorite pastime. I would like to know how I can make sure you have the peace of mind you deserve.

About: I am new to sitting however, I have been taking care of my own babies since I was in college, 16 years ago. I have always made them my priority and provided a loving home. I am currently working part time. It is mostly evenings and weekends. I’m available most of the day for hanging out, walking, and feeding. I am typically with my babies all day outside of work. We love to go on walks, watch tv, talk, and nap. I would love to split those hours with your babies!

About: I care for dogs regularly through my pet sitting work, including feeding, potty breaks, leash walks, playtime, and basic training practice. I live with my own pets, including an energetic young pup, so I’m very comfortable managing puppy zoomies, reinforcing good manners, and keeping routines consistent. I have experience with different sizes and temperaments and always take time to read each dog’s body language so they feel comfortable and understood I prioritize pet sitting around my work schedule, ensuring that pets receive dedicated care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My goal is to maintain a consistent routine that keeps pets comfortable and cared for while balancing my other commitments. I care for every pet in a secure, stress-free setting, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I’ve established dedicated pet areas with clean, comfortable resting spots and safe play zones, while in your home, I meticulously follow your routines and guidelines—ensuring your space is respected and enhanced with pet-proofing measures. Open communication and regular updates mean you’ll always feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

“Thank you for being so amazing with Echo! I booked super last minute and you were willing and available! Super grateful for your help!”

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.

About: I’ve had three dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals most of my life. I understand how deeply pets become part of the family, and how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s hands. I'm happy to meet beforehand so you can feel confident that it’s a good fit. I tend to talk to animals (yes, even cats who pretend not to listen), and I believe they understand more than we realize. I offer calm, attentive, and heart-centered care—whether your pet is a playful pup or a reserved senior. Each one is different, and I love meeting them exactly where they are. I work as a contractor and set my own schedule, which means my availability is flexible and open. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or at odd hours, I can likely make it work. Just reach out and we’ll find a rhythm that works for you and your pet. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pets, with deep respect. I maintain a calm, grounded presence and prioritize your animal’s emotional and physical well-being. I follow your instructions closely and provide thoughtful updates so you can stay connected and worry-free while you’re away.
