“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”
“Jennie is the absolute best! She cares so much and really goes above and beyond to take great care of my pup. Her notes are thorough and funny- I love reading what my pup has been up to!”
“Krista took my dog Brody on many walks. It was so nice to know he was being well taken care of while I'm at work. She is an excellent communicator and sent pictures each time she walked my boy. Will absolutely book again!”
About: I love all creatures. I personally have 3 of my own(2 dogs/1 cat) and I'm always looking to meet and care for other ppl's creatures when need be. I live near the Asheville airport & work nearby. I work day & evening shifts, which gives me time to visit creature clients. Prefer no overnights, due to my pets, but can swing a night or 2 if needed. Can do early am/late pm visits. I’ll make sure your babies are well taken care of. If they allow me I will give them lots of hugs, maybe a kiss or two. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
“David is a tower of respect for my energetic dogs. They took to him at first meeting and saw him as a leader. I like David’s and friendliness and warmth. He is a pleasure to have come to my home.”
“Mckenna, was great! She sent several pictures and it was evident she spent time with them besides just a walk. She will always be my first choice to take care of our fur babies!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from boxers, doodles, mini schnauzers, King Charles cavaliers, and spaniels. I understand all animals have their own little quirks and preferences! I’m detail oriented and happy to follow instructions to care for your babies and your home like I would my own. I’m a mom so I’m always out running errands. Drop ins are easy for me to accomplish while I’m out doing my normal day to day life. I work from home so I can easily alter my schedule if needed. I work from home so I spend a lot of time with my fur babies! I have a fully fenced yard and my cat and dog are both indoor outdoor animals who can go where they’re please during the day, including under my feet at my desk or walking across my keyboard!
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a baby! I have always loved caring and being with them, but as I’ve gotten to college I’ve got to experience this less and less. I’ve pet sat + dog walked for many family friends and so I thought this would be a great opportunity to get back to being around pets and share my love for animals. I am in college as well as athletics, but this only consists of early morning practices and I have little classes during the day as I am near finished with my degree! I have plenty of open time for all your wonderful pets needs :) I am very attentive to animals and their needs and enjoy being outdoors so I’d love to spend time with them both inside and outside. I make sure to always leave a space tidy and clean as well and ensure the animals needs are my top priority.
“Very pleased with Thomas, this was my first time using Rover and I found the perfect person to handle my dog! He did everything right, followed through on his end, communicated updates, and I felt assured my dog was in good hands. Thomas is reliable, trustworthy, provided great care, and I will absolutely be using his services again!”
About: I am a 22 year old living in Asheville. I am very flexible, friendly, and reliable. As far as pet care, I am willing and equipped to handle almost any situation or pet including elderly and handicapped pets. I have a good amount of experience on Rover with cats and dogs and with my own dogs. I have dealt with puppies,kittens, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, - and am comfortable with nearly all sorts of pets. Other than a part time barista job I am available most hours during the day and at night to meet you and your pet (s) for the first time and/or care for your pet(s). In your home, I will care for your pet as best I can while ensuring their mental and physical well-being. I will keep a watchful eye on them, take them outside multiple times, and try to leave them alone as little as possible, but essentially can do whatever you want me to when it comes to routines. I can crate dogs, feed pets, walk dogs, and just hang with pets. I prioritize not exacerbating your pet's stress.
About: I have 2 cats at home and owned a dog for over 12 years (unfortunately he recently has passed) so I have experience with both. I have also been dog walking for the past few year and recently started offering boarding as well as drop in services I’m currently working downtown full time so current availability is on the weekends however open to over night stays over Fridays and Mondays as there is someone home at all times. I enjoy going for long walks and I am very gentle with pets when they’re first meeting me or my pets so I give them plenty of space to ease them into being comfortable around us.
“Morgan was great with Willie. She communicated well and sent photos to let me know how he was doing. Felt very confident trusting him to her care, and would absolutely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the past 10 years. Friends, family and friends of clients have trusted me to feed, walk and entertain their pets and homes for weekends and weeks at a time. I genuinely enjoy animals and show them nothing but love and respect. I currently am working part time and have plenty of time to cater to your fur babies needs. I can ensure they are taken outside as needed, play and spend time with them so they aren't so lonely while you're away. I am very clean and respectful of peoples homes and I am ready to meet any and all animals! I prefer to only dog sit at the clients home because I do not have the space to at my own. I visit homes to care for animals and that is it. Meaning, I will not enter spaces that do not pertain to the animal I am looking after. I do this to ensure your privacy. I always lock up as I come and go to ensure the security of your home and most importantly, I will treat your animals as my own!
“Appreciate the time spent with Wrigley. Our hood is a little goofy with regards to the streets & hills. You’ll figure out the best path forward eventually? Wrigley Thanks You for the squeaky toy!?”
About: I am a part time sitter with a passion for animals. I have a pet of my own, she’s my best friend. I understand what it’s like trying to find a sitter for your pet while traveling. I have experience caring for puppies, as well as caring for large dogs. I have also cared for dogs with a disability. Rest assured that your loved one will be in great hands! I have a flexible work schedule and can coordinate with you on what works best for your pet. I typically work my day job in early mornings and occasional evenings, and I am available for pet care at any time of the day. Your pet’s security and care is my number one priority no matter the time of day! I travel to your location and care for your pet exactly as you specify, no specification or detail is too big or small for me. I am excellent at following instructions and I strive to give the best care to your pet. I also enjoy communicating regularly with you giving updates on your pet, as well as sending photos when you’re missing them a little extra.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arden
Tasha has become a welcomed addition to Royal’s daily routine. She walks him daily, giving him the exercise and stimulation he needs. She is very reliable, professional and always communicates with me on Royal’s needs and changes in her schedule. She’s also highly knowledgeable in her field and is an excellent resource. I highly recommend her for her services.
Emily has been caring for Toast for a couple months now. She is very good at reinforcing the same commands I use with Toast. Which is fantastic, because I did a dog training course with him, along with one on one training. He gets consistency with her. And she communicates very well with her availability and what days/nights she can and can't do. Since Emily has cats and dogs of her own I can tell she truly puts in the time and effort to make my dog feel just as comfortable as her own animals. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Arden is $34 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $47 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Arden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Arden after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
