About: Although I am new to Rover, I do have decades of experience with caring for animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and salt water tanks. I have potty trained many young dogs and have cared for senior dogs who require slower and gentler care. I am a teacher so during my summer vacation I have open availability. With plenty of time to go on walks and/or have extended play/drop ins whenever needed! Every animal deserves to have personalized care. I have four pets at home with the eldest being our 14 year old dog and youngest being our 1 year old kitten. Their care looks a lot different and their routines are tailored to their needs. I pride myself on caring for your furry friends as if they are my own and giving them the best care possible!
About: I have veterinarian assistant background, and can administer medications. I have been dog sitting for 9 years. I am active and will be engaging with your pets constantly. my schedule fits perfect for dog sitting and dog walking. I will take care of your pets as they are my own. I hope you’ll consider me for your pets needs. I am currently working part time and would love to use my extra time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule, and your pets needs come first. Giving your pets love, playtime, and exercise. If your pets have special needs to meet those needs for them. Cleaning up after your animals and always making sure their needs are taken care of.
“Alex was great!! This was my first time booking a sitter through Rover and I was a little nervous but he went above and beyond for me and the kitties. Everyday he sent lots of great photos and detailed summaries of each visit. Two of my kitties are very shy but my very sociable son absolutely loves Alex. He told me his vibes are good lol. The whole time Alex was very communicative and overall really great. I’m sad I’m moving away soon or else I would totally book Alex again & again. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a pet sitter, you can really tell just how much he loves animals. Thank you Alex!”
About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.
“Becca was extraordinary. She took exceptional care of my cats, she communicated beautifully, sent pictures of my special needs babies so I knew they were okay, spent extra time with my neediest boy. I wish I could give her a million stars because she was that good. I WILL hire her again to take care of everyone because she was so responsive and responsible that I know my kidlets are in terrific hands!”
“Isabel took great care of Chai, and I could see from all of the pictures that Chai was thoroughly enjoying Isabel's company! Isabel was very consistent, prompt, communicative, and sent plenty of photos for updates. Everything was left very clean as well. I would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.
About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.
About: I have a caring, outgoing, and patient personality that dogs are attracted to. I've always had a love for dogs and love to meet new furry friends any chance I can! Since my one and only dog passed away several years ago, my heart has been longing for a new dog. Dogs give me such happiness and I enjoy the happiness they bring to others as well. I also have a competitive running background of 12+ years so there will be no trouble with walking, running, or doing any sort of fun exercise with your furry friend! I'm so excited to help assist with anything your dog may need, even if its just some new company! I am currently working part time so my availability is pretty open. Please feel free to message me to see if I would be a great fit. I care for pets in your home by going to multiple walks per day, giving your pup the attention he/she deserves, and following any directions needed to best meet the needs of your pup.
“Nisa did a great job with my kitties, Stella and Neptune and was very communicative. Thee cats were super happy and bouncy when we got home, and well taken care of. My house looked great as well. Excited to work together in the future and would def trust her to watch the babies again!”
About: I've grown up around big dogs my whole life and love all pets more than anything. I believe every pet should feel loved and happy with the humans they around no matter how old, or young, they may be. With a very open schedule, I am happy to commit however long or short needed for your special companion! I am looking to find many jobs throughout my last semester at UNCA. I plan to schedule my days around walks or sittings I may have booked since I only have a few classes. I miss being around my dogs at home so helping care for your pets brings me joy! I respect the client and pets' space- no questions asked. Never hesitate to give me lists and lists of expectations, or just tell me to have fun! Whatever you need done will be accomplished!
“I will absolutely book with Alice again. She showed up when she said she would and, most importantly, communicated perfectly. I feel much more at ease going on vacation now knowing that Alice will be taking care of my pup!”
About: I have had a multitude of animals since I was young, which has led to many years of experience. I currently have a pet cat and dog. I’m a very active person and love going out in nature for walks and requests for longer walks beyond the 30 minute allotment are definitely welcome! I would love to build a strong relationship with the pets and owners I interact with to help build my experience even more and make your pets comfortable with a familiar face. I have a dog of my own that I walk and I’m a stay at home mom, which allows my schedule to be relatively open. In my clients home I will make sure the pet’s needs are met 100%. This includes making sure they have plenty of water, food and have had an adequate potty break. I will also play with the pet as long as their owner is okay with that.
About: I have taken care of dogs for around 4 years. Friends, family and roommates have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their animals. I work from home and travel at least once a month for my job. I create my own schedule so I can be very flexible I have a large yard for your dog to run around and play as well as one dog of my own who is very friendly. My neighborhood is very walkable, I’m within walking distance of Lake Louise Park & I’m close by to other dog-friendly parks as well. There’s plenty of room if your dog needs to be crated indoors as well.
About: I have worked in the animal industry for 10 years and have done pet sitting for over 17 years. I have trained, groomed, and worked in the animal health field. In Asheville, I worked at one of the busiest animal hospitals and dealt with complicated cases and learned way more than I could imagine. I'm comfortable with administering proper medications and adhering to the behavior/special needs of any dog. I treat every dog as if they are my own and want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I am very careful with the door, meaning, it will never be left open and I make sure to keep trash up. We will not have visitors if we have a client staying with us. I hope I can become your beloved pups next best friend. It's what I live for. Taking care and being with dogs is my passion. I'd love to do this full time at some point soon when it can work out financially. I have a beautiful apartment complex that is next to the French Broad River. It's about a mile around the whole complex and the walking next to the river is unmatched.
About: I have two inside rescue cats and two dogs. One dogs is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and weighs 100 pounds my other dog is a rescue mix and weighs 70 pounds. I love going for long walks to give my dogs plenty of exercise and some short runs. I have lots of experience with cats since I've been around them since I was five years old. I can play, groom (brush or trim claws) or just read a book with one on my lap. I've been taking care of dogs and cats for my close friends when they were away on vacation for many years. Taking care of animals gives me great joy. Playing fetch is always a fun activity for active dogs in the backyard.
“Galyn took care my dog, Millie while I was out of the town. She was kind, caring and dependable. She was flexible and followed instructions well even though there were some changes. It made me feel good that Millie was in good hands. House was clean when I got back. I would definitely hire her again.”

Allisyn was great. We didn’t have the chance to meet her before our trip, but she made everything easy. Great communication each day, arrived on time, stayed for the scheduled time (or even longer), and let us know if she had any questions. She sent lots of pics each day and even carried in a package and sent a picture of that as well. We were a little nervous as our dog is like our kid, but Allisyn did a great job. We will definitely use her again!!
Michelle is a life saver. Working long shifts, she came over and gave my guy a break from his kennel. She was there time we agreed upon and went above and beyond just letting him out. She played with him and worked with him on sitting and staying. She sent me daily “report cards” with pics and videos. I will definitely use her again and again.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alexander choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
