“I’ve never been more comfortable leaving my animals before! Got updates every visit with pictures, super flexible, and my German shepherd adored her. Will continue to use and recommend!”
“Shannon took the time and patience that our shy kitties needed. She was very communicative and shared more than average details after each check in. She also helped us out of an unexpected pickle and was able to fulfill duties, including medication administration, that were not part and f the original plan. We highly recommend Shannon for kitty-care!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”
“Benjamin was extremely kind and understanding when we had to cancel in the middle of the booking due to an emergency! We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
“Carolyn was so great with our senior cat! Charlie is very stand offish with new people but he interacted with her! It sounds small but its a big accomplishment lol. He took his pills both days and the communication was excellent. Everything was clean when we got back too. Definitely will ask Carolyn to care for Charlie again!”
“Jen did a wonderful job caring for Oliver as usual. We always appreciate the daily updates on how he is doing. Our kitty has special needs and she is very sweet with him. Thank you, Jen!”
“David did an excellent job caring for my senior cat! He dropped by twice a day for a week to feed my kitty, scoop litter, and give him some playtime and affection. My cat occasionally throws up a hairball, and this unfortunately happened on my couch the first night I was away. David cleaned up the mess as best he could, which made it a lot easier to get my couch slipcovers clean when I got home. He also took out my trash to the basement when it was getting full and brought in my mail. David was very communicative, sending photos and a little update with each check-in. David’s reliable and compassionate care for my cat gave me peace of mind, allowing me to enjoy my vacation! I would highly recommend David as a cat sitter!”
“Mersadi was awesome with Casper, who can be very intimidating to some, and detail-oriented with Buddy, who's kind of picky. She communicated very well, and was punctual. I'd 100% recommend her to care for your pets!”
“Kathy was so nice and so helpful! She came to check on our cats over the holidays so we knew they’d be okay! She sent us some very cute pictures and she was very communicative about how the cats were doing. We’ll be booking her again in the future!”
“Minori is so great with my dogs! I was seeking a night of refuge from the hurricane and she saved the day. My dogs are so happy and comfortable with her. Highly recommend! 🫶🏻”
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.
“I couldn’t be happier with Natasha and how well she cared for our cats and sugar glider. She is very attentive, meticulous and our cats love her calming energy. So thankful to have found someone so kind and responsible that we can trust while we are away. Will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Benjamin is wonderful! Great communication and reliable. One of my cats is verrrrry shy and made himself known to Benjamin much sooner than he typically does, so I know they are very comfortable with him. I know my cats are in great hands when I am away!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Asheville
Jen has been an exceptional pet sitter for our cat on several occasions. Her consistent ability to show up and provide comfort and daily task to Miss Pipi Ann has brought peace of mind to our family during a difficult time. Jen has taken ownership of the duties and shown total respect for our home. She bonded quickly with our senior feline and reported daily on her well being. We will absolutely continue to have Jen in our home and seek her out when care is needed for our most precious fur baby.
Jessie is the ultimate professional: a skilled trainer, compassionate, prepared and protective, kind and considerate, and always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our animals, home, plants, and us humans. Jessie has cared for our pets and house on several occasions now, the most recent being for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. We could rest completely assured that Jessie was on top of whatever happened while we were away (the water being turned off to the house, severe storms!) and that our pets were in the best hands possible. We cannot recommend Jessie highly enough!
Shannon took the time and patience that our shy kitties needed. She was very communicative and shared more than average details after each check in. She also helped us out of an unexpected pickle and was able to fulfill duties, including medication administration, that were not part and f the original plan. We highly recommend Shannon for kitty-care!
Carolyn was the perfect sitter for our three cats -- she came on time every day that was scheduled and left us updates, and multiple pictures and videos! It was something we looked forward to every few days during our honeymoon! Carolyn was also very responsive and communicative.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Asheville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Asheville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
