"My three cats are like children to me, and I could not have asked for any better care of them. Your care and attention definitely went 'above and beyond' duty."

"My three cats are like children to me, and I could not have asked for any better care of them. Your care and attention definitely went 'above and beyond' duty."

Sarah & Doug Tate, East Asheville

"She takes every precaution, even those that had not occurred to us, and we are meticulous pet parents… by the middle of the week, Miss Jane knew Magnolia so well that her descriptions were almost as good as ours."

Lori Wagner, West Asheville

"Can't say enough about Jane's cat-sitting for us! Our two cats have a tendency to go a little crazy when we go away, but they were just as mellow and happy as could be when we returned."

Doug Massey, Weaverville

"Miss Jane’s concern is obvious: She let us know how important wellness check-ups are and suggested we should look into a different type of food, as one of my cats is very overweight. She is a jewel!"

Linda Ballard, Weaverville

"We can tell our pups are really having a good time. Just can't say enough good things about Miss Jane - she's the best!"

Elizabeth Davis, Montford (Asheville)

"Typically, when my husband and I return from a trip, our animals are panicked and stressed. When Jane watches our home and pets, we return home to peace, order and totally contented cats and dog. Jane is meticulous, loving, aware and she is exactly who you want taking care care of your precious pets."

Christine Kane, Asheville

"You did a great job with our animals, and they were happy and healthy when we returned home. We could tell that they had been walked and played with because they weren't wound up - instead, they were relaxed and content. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our pets - I think they miss you!"

Leyla and Ryan Davis, Biltmore Lake

"To list all the tasks Miss Jane does, to keep things ticking while we're gone is more work than I want, so let's just say hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of 'getting away.'"

Carol J., West Asheville

"Miss Jane is well versed in the language of dog… Dogs are wise and intuitive and our Lani trusts Miss Jane completely - as do we."

Dinah Williams, Weaverville

Yes, Miss Jane's Pet Sitting is an expensive route vs. a kennel, but we have a much happier and less stressed animal when we return. We are 100% satisfied and will NOT look for an alternative!

Mark Loether, Beaverdam Run

"Everything from the in-depth consultation to the daily e-mails confirming 'all is well at home' has been perfect. I did not think this level of service existed."

Dick and Melinda Powell, North Asheville

"Maxie was obviously well taken care of! The pictures you took are great - showing how relaxed he was with you, and the daily log of his 'adventures' was a welcome record of his time away from us."

Helene and Vito M., Haw Creek (Asheville)

Miss Jane is a phenomenal pet sitter! She truly cares about our dog, Spunky. She keeps our home as neat as when we left it. She is completely reliable. Worth the price!

Martha and Kyle Boyd, North Asheville

"Jane has a wonderful rapport with animals, especially cats. She never pushes, lets the kitty come to her on its own terms. I always had such peace of mind."

Linda Taylor, North Asheville

I rest easy when we travel, knowing Greta is in your good hands! I only lend my name to services that I truly believe in, and yours I give thumbs UP… an A+

Jennifer Pinholster, North Asheville

"Miss Jane is an amazing pet sitter for my 4 (yes that is four) dogs. I have four dogs that all have distinct personalities and she caters to their needs like a doting grandmother. I highly recommend Miss Jane … because she treats my dogs like family. "

Donna Gray, Montford (Asheville)
