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
“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!”
“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 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!
“Ines did drop in visits with our new adult dog, Ducky, who was working on potty training. And also our other dog, Fievel. She followed the instructions on how to take both of our dogs out to potty in a way that was safe for the two of them! She gave detailed follow ups after each drop in”
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.
About: Growing up I always had pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, fish and have always been an animal lover. Two kids later, potty training another living thing is not a priority but I cant resist tail wags and couch snuggles whenever I’m around animals. I am very active and would love to be the person to help get the zoomies out of your doggo or check in on other furry friends. I have had dogs of my own and have experience with crate training and will help to encourage existing basic training behaviors. I work remotely full time and am typically an early riser. I have two kids that keep me busy but my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to come over to check in on your fur babies, take them on walks or sit with them for a few hours while I get my work done.
About: I have 2+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel at home and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care throughout their stay. Monday through Friday, I leave for work around 7:30 AM and return home at noon for lunch. I head back to work around 1 PM and am usually home between 4–5 PM. This allows me to check in, provide attention, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually home all day studying, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care. I live in a comfortable apartment complex with plenty of safe outdoor areas for walks, exercise, and potty breaks. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine while providing a clean, calm, and comfortable space where they can feel safe and at home.
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.
“Krystin was very professional and attentive. Yoshi and Kirby loved her so much they want nothing to do with us now that we're back home. We would definitely ask her to watch our cats again!”
“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!”
“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: I've been around dogs most of my life and have had two of my own in recent years. I recently lost my soul dog, Kavu. He taught me so much about patience and caring for a senior dog with cognitive decline and anxiety. I have a huge soft spot for grey faces. Extremely flexible work schedule and a student. Available most afternoons and evenings for walks or check ins. I can also offer a lot of consistency. I have been trusted by friends and family to take care of, walk, and spend time with their fur babies my entire life. I pay super close attention to detail and am comfortable with things like administering medications or feeding special diets.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others.

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.

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.

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.
