“Sharon is a loving and considerate companion that kept our elderly dog Kuma happy and healthy while we were away. Her wonderful attention to his daily needs was outstanding. Kuma enjoyed every minute of the warm and loving care Sharon gave to him everyday. The pictures and videos showed how he loved Sharon and how happy he was. Sharon would be an excellent pet sitter for your pets and we would highly recommend her services.”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Tabitha was amazing! She is very attentive to detail, and communicates extremely well. She went above and beyond to ensure Pongo enjoyed his stay and got plenty of exercise and play time! 10/10 will definitely book Tabitha again next time!”
“Sarah is the BEST sitter I have come across thus far. She kept me informed on how my Rock was doing from his morning walks to his evening routine and good nights. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah and I will be using her again in the future.”
“We HIGHLY recommend Kristen and Seth!! Our dog Lucy loved it over there and we received sweet photos throughout our vacation. We felt very comfortable leaving our big baby with a new sitter while we were away, Lucy also highly recommends! :)”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our girl had a wonderful time and loved playing in the big yard with the sitter's dog. The location was also ideal for a visit to Biltmore. We would gladly book with them again❤️”
About: Hey! I'm Sadie. I've lived in West Asheville for about 4 years now. I'm a former overnight pet sitter and dog trainer/handler at Evolutionary K9 in North GA. As well as a former Kennel Tech at a Daycare/Boarding & Grooming spot in Black Mountain. I have taken classes on Dog Cognition + Emotion through Duke University. I love animals and have my own 9 year old Siberian Husky who I spend most of my time with when I'm not working. I've been in animal care this for roughly 10 years. I have taken care of young dogs, senior dogs, dogs/cats with special needs, goats, snakes etc and would love to give your babe the care they need when you're away. I'm typically available for drop by walks, visits, boarding and general care throughout the week and weekends dependent on my work schedule. Thanks and look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have my own pup at home so I do not do overnight stays but I do boarding and I am flexible throughout the week/weekends dependent on my work schedule. I would be happy to drop by and feed, walk and/or play with your pets while you're at work, etc. (My husky is an escape artist so I am extremely careful and mindful when walking anyone's pets!)
“Linda is friendly and knowledgeable. She has a beautiful home and a nice sized fenced in back yard. Missy enjoyed her stay and we will definitely have her stay with Linda again next time we need a care giver for her.”
“Michaela is wonderful!! She sent photos and updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was always comfortable and safe. She’s one of the best sitters I’ve used on Rover.”
About: As a devoted dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. My own dog, Jack, is a big, lovable shepherd mix, so I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and dogs with big personalities! I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, attention, and plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy life. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines, whether that means regular walks, mealtimes, playtime, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their people are away. I’m mature, responsible, attentive to detail, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, respect, and affection I give my own, and I’ll happily keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the week. As a dog mom myself, daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection are already part of my routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to make caring for your pets part of my day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m attentive to individual personalities, routines, and special instructions, and I believe in creating a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your established routines, and make sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands!
“Haley was terrific! Very very accommodating and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog absolutely had a great time. Loved Haley and clearly was in great shape when I came to pick her up. I would definitely use Haley again!”
“Amanda was fantastic! It was clear from the pictures and updates that she sent that my boy was in good hands. It was a relief to have such good care while I was away. I will definitely use Amanda again!”
“Jen was a great host to our pup, Rocky! She kept us updated with how he was doing each day as well as sent daily pictures. I would definitely recommend Jen as a host: great communication, positive attitude, flexible schedule (ended up having to add an extra day) and reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed!”
About: Hi there! I have lived and cared for dogs my life.Recently, my family and I spent about a year fostering dogs. We have spent the past couple years fostering kittens through sister kitten. As a result of this experience, we have a large amount of knowledge regarding training and optimal care of various dog/cat breeds and temperaments. We currently have two dogs and two cats. I love all dogs, but large breed dogs, puppies, and elder dogs have a special place in my heart. I will treat your dogs and cats like my own and provide them with play, attention, and care while you are gone. I would love to spend time with your animals while you are away and walk them as needed. I am dependable, trustworthy, responsible, and passionate about dogs and walking! I have flexible availability. I currently work part time so I have ample time and space to make caring for your animals a priority. I am open to care for your animals most days of the week. When your animal comes to stay at my home they will have the option of going for leashed walks on 5 acres. They will also have the opportunity to play in the creek with my friendly sweet dogs.
“Riley and I both enjoyed working with Heather. Riley loved hanging out on her balcony, play with toys, and going for walks. Heather was easy to work with, great communication, and we’ve already rebooked with her!”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I have cared for the companions of family and friends and have also fostered a sweet dog (stray black lab puppy) I have two dogs I adore very much, named Love (8 years) and Kid (4 years). We are very active and we go on long walks through different trails and parks in NC. Additionally, a couple years ago I lived in a house where part of my rent contract was caring for two senior dogs, a cat, and 8 chickens. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends. I can come to where your animal companions are, walk them and take care of their needs (and play and cuddle if they wish), and I can also drive them to appointments or parks. I am very gentle with my animals and the animals I encounter. They are complex individuals like ourselves and they don’t speak our language, which requires even more care and trust-building. I pay close attention to body language and let them approach me before doing anything. I do not use neck leashes and I never pull or yank on a leash unless an emergency—it is there for their safety, not their control. Walks are usually slow, and I give animals lots of time to sniff, roll, or whatever they want to do during their time!
“Wow! We lucked out choosing Emily as a sitter! She was fantastic. We needed a sitter at the last minute and Emily responded right away. We enjoyed meeting her and her sweet family. Our pup walked right in the door without a look back, like she was home. It was a blessing to be able to leave feeling like our pup was going to be fine. Emily sent messages and pics to reassure us that our old girl was settling in that evening and doing well the next morning. If we come back to this area again I would definitely ask for Emily. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for all manner of animals my entire life! My mom was very keen on fostering and rehabilitating animals all throughout my childhood and I’ve continued to pursue this as an adult. I’ve done extensive work with dogs and cats. I absolutely adore both and I always carry around safe, ethical treats for positive reinforcement! We’ll go on walks/runs, play enriching games and do educational activities to keep their spirits high and their minds sharp. I’m happy to participate in any commands/trainings you’re currently teaching your pup. I can also do farm stays and care for any other animals you might have. I’ve done animal rehab for illness and injury on a large variety of animals and would be happy to chat more about that. Your pets are safe with me, but even better is they’ll have a blast! I look forward to meeting you and yours :) I make my own schedule so as long as you’re somewhat close to town I’m happy to help! I can do weekly care as well :) I know CPR for cats and dogs. I’m experienced in a variety of animal first aid and have had 100% success in all medical emergencies I’ve dealt with. If there are any changes to my schedule outside of my control you’ll be the first to know, although that almost never happens. I’m very timely, easy going, respectful and your pets are in great hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden
Connie & Ron were wonderful pet parents for my senior, mini Schnoodle! We had an initial meet & greet and got along nicely. Their home is in a rural setting with a nice big backyard for running about and a comfy home! It was the perfect place for my little “boy!” And he settled in just fine! Connie kept me updated with daily texts, photos and even videos! I was comforted knowing my dog was in such good hands and this gave me peace of mind so I could relax at my week-long retreat! There were a couple other small dogs in their care and my dog got along great with them as well. I highly recommend Connie and Ron if you have a small, senior dog who needs a lot of human attention.
rayana was amazing with our pups. She took great care of them and love them while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures of them often, it faces us peace of mind to know they had someone who genuinely cares. I will be coming back to her again for sure.
We hired Zann to watch our dogs and were extremely happy with her service. Her communication was excellent — timely, clear updates and photos — and she took wonderful, attentive care of our pups. She was very flexible with scheduling and handled everything professionally and kindly. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Arden is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.
There are 391 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arden. About 92% of Arden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
