I'm not sure what my pet needs?

Every pet and family is unique, which is why all of our services can be customized to fit your needs! Don't see what you're looking for? Just let us know your needs and we will do our absolute best to accommodate.

We also offer 45 minute and 60 minute Drop-In Visits for pets who need a little extra love and attention.

Where do you go for Field Trips?

Does your pup love an active hike along one of WNC's hiking trails? Or maybe they prefer a walk along a quiet dirt road followed by a good car ride and a puppuccino? It's up to you where we go on our Field Trips!

We recommend requesting services for pet sitting for while you are out of town roughly a month ahead, and requests for dog walking a week ahead.
