“Sam was great & has a very calming presence because my very anxious female cat trusted her. She hides from family members & friends she’s known for years so this was a huge deal!”
“It was really lovely to go on vacation and not worry about the care that our animals were receiving. Neil was prompt, sent pictures daily and when we got back our animals were calm and we could tell, well cared for. Thanks Neil!”
“This is who you want to hire! When you come home from vacation and your kitties are calm and relaxed - that's all you really want. You know they were well taken care of. Thank you, Sherrie! We appreciate you. Until next time!”
“Maya went above and beyond for my three kitties!! She is an absolutely delightful person and you can tell she truly cares for your pets like she would her own. I will definitely be using her again and again. Thank you Maya! 🩷🐾🩷”
“This was my first time using the Rover app. I am very grateful that I connected with Jen for my first sitter. She came by and met my 3 cats. And met me. My cats loved her. I can’t thank you enough for your support and watching my babies while I was traveling. I highly recommend Jen for any needs you may have around your pets! Thank you, Jen.”
“Thank you so much Jane! I’m so happy to have found someone I can rely on for staying with my crazy kitties :) They were very comfortable with you and you did a great job with their personalities. I appreciate you and will definitely be booking again 🐈⬛✨”
“Bailey did an excellent job of caring for my kids while I was away. Left the house in good shape, and the cats happy. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her for anyone looking for a quality pet sitter.”
“Always grateful when we’re lucky enough to have Eliza sit for our two cats. Eliza really takes time to make sure the cats feel talked to, played with, and actually get a bit of stimulation, rather than just a quick food, litter, and water change (which Eliza also does flawlessly). One of our top sitters and we highly recommend!”
“Paris was great with our two kitties! We got lots of great pictures of them playing happily and we knew that they were in good hands. Thanks Paris!”
“Sydney did a great job keeping our sweet kitty company while we were gone. I loved getting photos every visit of our sweet fur baby. Will definitely be booking Sydney again.”
“David was exceedingly patient with our difficult, unfriendly small dog. We are very grateful for his kindness and professionalism.”
“Madi was just simply amazing! She went above and beyond taking care our cats!! It was a huge relief having Madi while we were out of town!! We greatly appreciate her!!”
“Jessie was wonderful! He took excellent care of Ember even though she was being quite antisocial. I highly recommend Jessie as someone who is extremely kind, caring and professional!”
“Not to be dramatic, but Louise is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My pup, Dolly, absolutely loves her and she’s always providing the sweetest most thoughtful updates and cute pictures. I always know Dolly will be well taken care of with Louise. I work long days in the summer months, so I need someone to give her exercise and attention during the day when I can’t. With other sitters I would come home and Dolly would still seem wound up, but she seems like she’s getting exactly what she needs with Louise. Couldn’t be happier with her!”
“Emmie: I’m so happy that you’ve looked after Brutus (I renamed him), for the last few days Rescue cats often don’t have a name and are just given one. Anyway, thanks so much, until next time.”
About: Ever since I was a little kid I fell in love with every animal I met. Starting in high school I began watching pets for neighbors, family and friends. I have lived in the Asheville area now since 2017 and have spent time pet sitting many dogs, cats and chickens. I am open to watching all pets and look forward to meeting them! I am a self-employed ceramic artist so my schedule can be very flexible to house sitting, dog walking, etc. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate any schedule you need! I have reliable transportation and am happy to come take care of your animals in your home. I have a Subaru Outback and can easily put your dog in the car to go to a park or walking trail. I do not watch pets at my own home. I currently live in an apartment building with restricted animal rules and have my own cat who is older and does not want to be around other animals.
“Melody is the sweetest!! She took great care of my cat when I left town for 10 days. She sent pictures and updates every day. I will definitely rebook with her the next time I need a sitter 😊”
“Natasha was fantastic. She popped in multiple times a day to check on our kitties, and always sent great pictures. Will absolutely book with her again.”
“FANTASTIC SITTER! A+++ professionalism A+++ care A+++ service I gladly recommend her and will definitely hire her again. Where to begin?! To say Kayla is a wonderful, attentive, professional, competent, caring, and overall AMAZING sitter is a total understatement!!! My husband and I went away for ~2 weeks and because of Kayla’s service, we did not once have to worry about our old cat. Kayla was diligent about sending us daily photo updates with a small blurb about the happenings, and checked-in/out in a timely manner. She was communicative and familiar, to the point where I chatted her up and had to reel it back hahaha I truly felt like I left my cat in the care of a friend Id known forever! Kayla is clearly kind and affectionate, because while our cat is not mean and would ever attack/bite/scratch, he is 16 years old so he can be picky about who he dotes on - and he was loving on Kayla a lot! I am so beyond happy with this interaction and the fact that my cat trusts and loves Kayla. We definitely made the right choice booking her; I will happily recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future. Thank you Kayla!???”
About: passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I strive to provide personalized attention and care to each dog I look after. I am a homemaker that does not work a set schedule so I can be flexible to assist with pet care anytime of day and night I always ask owners for the specific needs, rules, schedule of their pets because every pet is unique and have their own needs and different personalities

She has watched our senior dog as well as a younger puppy in our care and gave them both exactly what they needed. We love her and would recommend her to anyone!”

Milendi O.
“Milendi (Milen as we call her) loves animals! Her best friend, a Yorkshire Terrier named Pablo passed in 2024 at the age of 12 and she is still missing him everyday. The hole in her heart from Pablo's passing is filled by fostering dogs and helping out other owners through gigs on Rover. You couldn't leave your animal in better hands than Milen.”

Jen was fantastic! She took such amazing care of my two cats, and was great about sending tons of updates and photos. She really went above and beyond, couldn’t recommend her enough!
Shannon does a great job with our pets! She is flexible and responsive. I will hire her again in the future!
Always grateful when we’re lucky enough to have Eliza sit for our two cats. Eliza really takes time to make sure the cats feel talked to, played with, and actually get a bit of stimulation, rather than just a quick food, litter, and water change (which Eliza also does flawlessly). One of our top sitters and we highly recommend!
This is the second time I’ve used Jennifer. She goes above and beyond. Attention to detail and great updates. She even coaxed out the shy cat.
Bailey took great care of my cats. She communicated and sent lots of pics. I came home to happy kitties. Will absolutely hire her again!
Natasha was fantastic. She popped in multiple times a day to check on our kitties, and always sent great pictures. Will absolutely book with her again.
Lindsay agreed to my sit at the last moment and found time to come over and meet me and the kitties. Unfortunately, I had to terminate my sit early. Lindsay was very gracious about the change. She loved on my kitties and they seemed comfortable with her. She kept in touch and provided additional pictures of the kitties. I highly recommend Lindsay and hope to use her again.
Isabel took wonderful care of our two cats, sending photos and playing with them each day. Her communication was excellent, I would highly recommend her for your loved pets.
Very affectionate, attentive, and reliable kitty sitter. Billie warmed up and enjoyed all the playtime!
This is the second time Matilda has looked after our two cats and we appreciated the photos from each visit and clear communication. Would definitely recommend!
Kallie was amazing watching my kitty while I was on gone vacation! She sent me tons of updates and pictures and gave him love. Would highly recommend!
Mattie-Clark was perfect with Turnip. She checked in on time every day and was very communicative about everything. He looked so happy in all of the pictures!
Kimberly did a great job keeping an eye on my two kitties while I was away for a couple nights! She sent consistent updates and pictures so I knew they were getting love and attention. If I need a sitter again I will definitely book with her!
Vic was awesome! Very responsive if I had questions or schedule changes. Will definitely book again!
Paris is so conscientious and takes time to give our kitties lots of attention—highly recommend Paris to care for your furry family members!
Emmie: I’m so happy that you’ve looked after Brutus (I renamed him), for the last few days Rescue cats often don’t have a name and are just given one. Anyway, thanks so much, until next time.
Jacob took fantastic care of our cats! He was very communicative and sent lots of great photos. We'd definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Katherine was great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure that my cat was well looked after while I was away. I would highly recommend her!
I cannot recommend Sarie enough! She took care of my two cats while I was away and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and loved. One of my cats is incredibly shy and usually hides from new people, but somehow Sarie worked her magic and even got him to come out and play, which was amazing to see. She sent me daily updates with detailed messages and photos giving me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own, and I came home to two happy, relaxed kitties. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a sitter!
