“Thomas has entertained our young puppy “Grover” for three busy days for our household. He has quickly become one of Grover’s favorite humans. Thomas responded to our initial request very promptly, came by for a meet & greet with Grover and gave us back a happy and tired puppy three days in a row!”
About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time
“Susan was amazing!! She sent wonderful and detailed updates, and was so thoughtful to send pictures every day. It was such a relief to know our sweet baby was in such good hands. We can't recommend Susan enough!”
“Jessica was the BEST pet sitter!!! I will be suggesting her to all my friends and family locally!! She sent lots of pictures and took the time to mix up the food the very particular way I do for my cat. She played with him, pet and cuddle him and kept his litter clean! I'm so so grateful to have found her!!”
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
About: **I work full time at Mission Hospital M-F during the week so if you are in need of full day sitting then I wouldn't be available.*" I have 14 years experience as an animal care provider and I'm able to train animals using positive reinforcement methods. I've trained animals in leash walking, dinner time manners, night time routines, special tricks, negating biting, barking, licking, begging, pulling on walks, aggression, and much more. I've provided care for varying breeds and temperaments and I'm available for extended stays (+20days). I give full, undivided attention to the animals I care for and it gives me great joy to see them so happy. I try to treat the animals I care for as I would like to be taken care of with dignity, love, respect, and lots of playing outside! For full-day or overnight stays, I am with your pets the entirety of the stay (unless to go on a quick trip to the grocery store). I normally work around schedules to help pet families as much as I can. I love all animals and am privileged to care for them, so they receive my full attention when in my care. I make sure that not only are their needs and the owner's needs are being met, but that they have fun and are happy while their owners are away.
About: Dogs want to feel like their routine and comfort are not in jeopardy when their people are away. That is my goal, to decrease separation anxiety and stress by keeping the routine, lots of snuggles and exercise. Each dog has a a unique personality and set of needs. I get that and want to differentiate my services for each pup I stay with while you are away. I've cared for dogs most of my life. I currently have two in my home. I am active and athletic so if you're dog needs to run we can enjoy a neighborhood or park run. I'm comfortable administering oral medication, if needed. I can bath your pooch, if needed or requested. I'm available to meet you ahead of time to make sure if feels like a good fit. My goal is for you to miss your pup but not worry about them! I operate on a flexible schedule. My work hours vary, based on how I schedule my days. Key words here are flexible and available! Just ask... I will care for pets in your home as you do. I will provide for their needs, and give them extra love to help them feel secure while you're away. If they enjoy it, I'll take them out for hiking adventures.
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. I will be new to the Asheville area, so I am only currently available on weekends. However, I will be available full time once I complete my move in June! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!
“Laura is a great communicator and sent sweet pictures of my creatures on her home visits. In the initial meet and greet, my animals warmed right up to her. I'd recommend Laura for your pet care needs”
“Lyndsay is a fantastic sitter - prompt and thorough communication, great photo updates, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt good about leaving our pup for a long distance trip.”
About: I’ve cared for many animals since I was young. The majority of them being dogs! I love all animals. I’ve dog sat, walked, and cared for dogs and other animals on and off and I want to do more now. I currently have full time for this if needed, I’m trying to look for a new part time job so I can do this and the other job. Whenever I’m needed I’ll be happy to take care of your pet! I will care for your pets when I get to your home and make sure they get the best care possible. And of course make sure they are loved.
About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and my friends have asked me to take care of their pets, which range from small dogs, cats to Great Danes and ferrets. I’m an animal lover! So I will be great to your pet(s)!! I’m currently working part time, so I’m free to look after fur babies the majority of times. I’m also a nurse, so I’m good at practical thinking and problem solving. My own dogs are very spoiled! So I promise to love and spoil your fur babies as well!! I will make sure they not only have what they need but what they want as well.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Arden 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
To find sitters in Arden with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
