Premium, mindful, and trustworthy care for your home and beloved animals.
Serving Asheville and the surrounding areas
Welcome
When you invite someone into your home, you want more than basic help — you want a reliable, calm, and grounded presence you can trust completely. Blue Ridge offers elevated, heart-centered home and pet stewardship for people who value integrity, discretion, and true peace of mind.
Your home remains well-tended, and your pets feel safe, loved, and deeply cared for while you’re away.
Services

Housesitting
Thoughtful, reliable oversight of your home while you’re away. I maintain the natural rhythm of your space — tending plants, collecting mail, taking out trash, keeping everything clean, and ensuring the house feels exactly as you left it. Ideal for homeowners seeking a trustworthy, detail-oriented steward.

Pet sitting
Mindful, loving companionship for your animals. From daily routines to medication administration, long walks, and gentle presence, I support each pet according to their unique temperament and needs. Whether they’re energetic, elderly, anxious, or shy, they receive grounded, consistent care that helps them relax and do what they love most.

Long-term sits
Extended support for seasonal travel, sabbaticals, or long trips. I become a steady guardian of your home — tending the garden, maintaining household rhythms, and offering continuous companionship for your pets.
Pricing is custom and based on duration, location, and care requirements.

Your steward
Hello, I’m Kathryn — a mindful, caring, and trustworthy home and pet sitter with more than a decade of experience tending homes and animals with presence and heart.
Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in Pennsylvania surrounded by beloved dogs and cats, and as an adult, I cared for my own rescue dogs for many years. I miss having pets of my own and feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to support the animals entrusted to me.
My professional background spans 15 years in mission-driven nonprofits and over a decade of yoga and meditation practice. I live a grounded, intentional lifestyle — I don’t smoke or drink, I eat mostly vegetarian, and I spend much of my quiet morning time in practice. Animals tend to settle into this rhythm easily — and often lovingly.
Today, I work part-time remotely and use this chapter of life to explore new places while providing high-quality care to homeowners who want someone dependable, respectful, and deeply attentive in their space.
My intention is simple: to protect the energy of your home and offer your pets the sense of ease, companionship, and safety they deserve.
