“Our cat, Steve, always loves when Susan comes to visit him while we are away! Susan is always on time for our scheduled visits, she remembers all the little details, and sends extremely detailed updates after each visit, including several pictures. Having Susan watch Steve always gives us peace of mind.”
“I truly don’t have enough words to describe how wonderful our experience with Alex was. We were on vacation with our fur baby, and from our initial meet-and-greet to the thoughtful picture updates he sent during his visit, everything exceeded expectations. He even went out of his way to come to our cabin and walk her while we were out exploring. If you’re looking for someone in the Asheville, NC area, I highly recommend him!”

“Ryan drop-in visited my kitty on my first day back at work after two months at home. I was worried he would stress because his full-time staff had sudddenly abandon him. I came home to a well tended happy kitty.”
“When weather got bad, Kate was able to take care of my pup even when it was not an expectation to do so. I appreciated this so much, especially since I have such anxiety around it. She always takes fantastic care of Moby, I can’t say how much I appreciated her during this bad weather scare. Thanks for everything Kate!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve cared for my own for over 20 years, including through aging, illness, lots of meds and treatments. Able to care for any age or size and have experience with oral and subcutaneous meds for cats and oral meds for dogs. I’m currently working from home, so I’m available throughout the day and also anytime after 5pm - weekdays and weekends. So, available for drop-ins, pet sitting in my house or yours (as long as you have WiFi), walks, etc. Happy to care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. No fenced in yard at my place right now, but in a great walkable neighborhood. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were my own!
About: I have never not had a dog in my life, from the time I was born we had family dogs of all sizes from pugs to mastiffs. I’ve trained puppies to handled medication for senior dogs as well! I currently teach 8a-12p with a lunch break at home around noon week days to allow for a potty break and completely free on the weekends I have a large fenced in yard for play time , a nice walking trail by my house to let wiggles out, as well as a compassion for animals to dedicate to their own needs
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
“James was great with my wild boys. I needed someone last min and he was on it! He's attentive, communicative, warm and put my dogs at ease. Glad to have found him and will use his services again.”
About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.
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
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.
“Jacqueline took wonderful care of my cats while I was on holiday vacation. The cats really benefited from the multiple visits and time she took with them. It’s a big relief to have such a trusted and friendly Petsitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others.

I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment.

About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Years ago, I worked as a vet tech, where I gained valuable experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I currently live with my two dogs (Merle and Penny) and cat (Rue), and I truly consider them family. In my free time, you’ll almost always find me spending time with my animals, whether that’s going on hikes, playing by the river, or just spending time together at home. I have also had the privilege of fostering dogs and am currently fostering kittens, which has given me even more experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, extra attention and affection, medication support, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I work Monday through Thursday, but I am available for drop-in visits throughout the day and evening depending on your pet’s needs. I have more open availability Friday through Sunday and am happy to provide walks, drop-ins, and extended care during those days. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to work with owners to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my previous experience as a veterinary technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health needs, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I have also fostered dogs and currently foster kittens, giving me experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I take pet care seriously and will treat your animals with the same patience, attention, and care that I provide to my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arden
I deliberated for quite a while on a sitter for my guinea pigs and am so glad I chose Julie! I have one outgoing piggie and one shy piggie yet both my guys were comfortable with Julie right away. That made a big impression on me! Both my boys seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. I appreciated how Julie did a great job following the pig care directions I left. Everything was neat and tidy when I arrived home (piggie care can be messy!) and she even washed out my recyclable bags that hold my guinea pig vegetables and hung them to dry. A sweet little bouquet of hand picked flowers greeted me upon my return. What a great first experience with using Rover!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Luke! He is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond. From the very beginning, he’s been incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with my dog Lobo who generally prefers women over men. But my dog has easily and quickly adjusted to Luke’s visits. What really stands out to me is his ability to read dog behavior and understand what they’re communicating. He takes time to meet them where they are, respect their personality, and boundaries and never rushes him. Having Luke come by and seeing how he’s been with Lobo has been such a relief to me while I’m at work. And when I say he goes above and beyond….. he even rolled my garbage can in after he knew I had a long day of work and was coming home in a rainstorm. I honestly can’t recommend Luke enough. I’m truly grateful to have him to care for my dog! 🐾❤️
Answered my emergency request in a timely manor, communication was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure my boys were ok given the circumstances. Initial entry was a bit shaky, however he course corrected and cleaned up any messes made inside the home. Grateful to him for stepping in and going the extra mile.

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!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
