Pet Sitting Woodfin

“Claire was wonderful with Georgie! She took the time to meet us beforehand, and she and Georgie hit it off right awa, you could tell Claire genuinely loves getting to know the dogs she cares for. As a puppy, Georgie needs midday potty breaks and some playtime when I can't get home from the office, and Claire gave her a great visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing Georgie was in good hands. Highly recommend Claire for anyone needing reliable, caring midday check-ins. I will be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.

“Benjamin is wonderful! Great communication and reliable. One of my cats is verrrrry shy and made himself known to Benjamin much sooner than he typically does, so I know they are very comfortable with him. I know my cats are in great hands when I am away!”

About: Because I’m a very caring person and very gentle with animals and anything living including plants. I’m a very positive human being. Thank you very much I’m available every day and most times. I can spend the night if needed. I’m good with all breeds and sizes and ages. Thank u I spend lots of time with the animals I pet sit for and I give them lots of love and attention and things they need

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.

About: I routinely sit for friend's dogs and cats, and grew up around dogs so am very comfortable with many breeds and personalities. Especially love senior pups :) Local to Asheville, but willing to travel to surrounding counties. I am currently in graduate school, so I have a schedule that allows me to care for your pet during most weekdays as well as weekends. A very important thing before I start sitting a new animal is to make sure that I know what vocal/gesture commands, house rules, or personal needs your pet is accustomed to. This makes it a more seamless experience for both the humans and the animal.

“Stephanie was great...she took great care of my 2 cats...they looked happy on the pics she sent and my place looked great when l returned home...”

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: 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.

About: Ever since I was little, animals have been a huge part of my life. Growing up on a small farm taught me not only how to care for animals, but also how deeply they become part of the family. I truly believe pets are our children, and they deserve the same love, patience, attention, and care we would give to any family member. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my dog, Sophie, during the final year of her life after she was diagnosed with bone cancer. That time taught me so much about compassion, attentiveness, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable through every stage of life. Caring for Sophie gave me extensive hands-on experience administering medications, injections, and following detailed care routines with patience and consistency. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who may need extra support, medical care, or simply a gentler approach. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and farm animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique routines, quirks, and comfort levels. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, anxious, senior, or needs specialized care, I always strive to make them feel loved, calm, and right at home. I also own a small handmade pet accessory business, Lumber Puppies. You may have seen me at local art and maker markets throughout the years! Being involved in the pet community has only strengthened my belief that our animals deserve thoughtful, personalized care and lots of affection. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, playtime, and patience. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your babies with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I am available every day of the week with a lot of flexibility and can accommodate last-minute changes. Let me know what your needs are, and we can discuss how I can help. While caring for your pets, you can feel safe knowing that I will always take the utmost care when in your home. I have a deep fear of someone carelessly letting one of my cats slip out the door. Because I have this fear for my own pets, I will ensure that it is not something you will ever have to worry about while your babies are in my care.

“Savahanna was able to help on short notice, and was communicative and friendly. Everything was left just as we found it. Would definitely use her again!”
