Asheville Animal Friends Pet Sitting @ Asheville

Hello there,
My name is Elizabeth and I love our animal friends! I grew up with a German Shepherd named Chief and cat named Sissy. I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats, birds and other animals all my life. I have walked hundreds of canines, all kinds of breeds large and small, and all kinds of personalities. I live on a farm with tortoises, emus, cats, cockatoos, chickens, pigs and goats. I volunteered with wolfdog hybrids in the Appalachians. I have no pets of my own right so I find it essential to spend time with creatures. It brings joy to the heart & soul.
My housemates in the redwoods of California were a blue-eyed, white husky named Luna and a very Zen white cat named Snow. In the Appalachians, my mountain-trail companion was Asha, a redfur goldeneyed husky, who lit up excitedly when she saw me because she knew I was taking her to an epic mountaintop. I lived with Makua, fat kitty who assumed position at the fridge door, awaiting meals, and would bite his automatic feeder to get into it before it was mealtime. I lived with Mango, the squat pitbull, who wore muscle tshirts and had to immigrate from Miami, where pitbulls are not legal.
We have a natural rapport & instant connection, as perhaps many people feel with animals’ presence. I have energy to keep up with them, and bring them to nature outdoors. I go above and beyond to make sure the animals needs are cared for. Their needs come first as a top priority.
When I dogsat a friend’s Laboradane for a month, I spent 24/7 with him, taking him everywhere. No other professional or friend had the time or willingness for that.
Time with animal friends is always a joy, it warms the heart, their presence is unconditional and they know how to bring good vibrations.
“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
I love the outdoor exercise of walking dogs, and living connection with furry friend creatures is soul-satisfying.
