“Savannah did an amazing job looking after my two cats! She was super friendly, attentive to our admittedly shy kitties and made sure we had nothing to worry about while out of town. I’d recommend her any day!”
“Jessie is great! So passionate about his work with dogs. I feel lucky to have such a knowledgeable, caring person taking care of my little Yorkie! My puppy has learned so much from Jessie. Highly recommend and feel 100% comfortable leaving my Ella in his care.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.
“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!”
“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!”
“Ariel went above and beyond while we were gone for a week. Betty and Rocco were very happy when we came back and the house and the yard looked great. Will definitely use her again soon.”
About: Having grown up with dogs and cats, I know how important taking care of our fur babies is! I have lots of experience taking care of both, big and small, for friends and family. I’d love to extend that personalized care I provide to my own dog to your pets! I accept requests mostly on weekday evenings at the moment, and some weekends depending on my personal schedule. Working in daily doggy walks is something I enjoy! I try my best to keep my calendar updated. Before any services are provided, I will set up a meet and greet to ensure I’m a good fit for your pet and your needs. First and foremost, I want to make sure we all get along and you feel excited to leave your pet with me! For pet visit care, you can expect me to do things such as: ensure their water bowl is full, clean their litter box (cats), feed them, give them pets and treats, pick up any small accidents (potty or house cleanliness-related), or let them out into a fenced backyard (dogs) for a bit. This, of course, can change depending on your needs for your service. Happy to adjust if needed for dogs that might need more specific care, such as medical treatments. Pet sitting would include all this, as well as walks for the pups and additional cuddle time! If tending to my own errands or other client’s pets during the day, I will only be up to 5 hours away from the home at a time, unless told otherwise is necessary. With house sitting, you can rest assured your home will be respected and taken care of. I will make sure I leave things clean, and your pets happy.
“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!”
About: Although I am new to Rover, I do have decades of experience with caring for animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and salt water tanks. I have potty trained many young dogs and have cared for senior dogs who require slower and gentler care. I am a teacher so during my summer vacation I have open availability. With plenty of time to go on walks and/or have extended play/drop ins whenever needed! Every animal deserves to have personalized care. I have four pets at home with the eldest being our 14 year old dog and youngest being our 1 year old kitten. Their care looks a lot different and their routines are tailored to their needs. I pride myself on caring for your furry friends as if they are my own and giving them the best care possible!
“Erica made several home visits with my cat Doris while I was away on a trip. Her communication was great and she kept me updated on her visits with photos and messages. Would highly recommend her!”

Mersadi was a joy to work with and took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was away! Mersadi was very easy to communicate with, and sent me drop in notes and pictures every day. The peace of mind knowing my boys were taken care of while I was out of town is priceless!
Jen is AMAZING! My kitty, Phoebe, never leaves my side. I was nervous to leave her for 16 days because she is not used to being alone. However, there was nothing to worry about because Jen is a real pro: Phoebe did have separation anxiety when I left. Jen promptly reached out and worked with me daily until Phoebe was better. Jen even had to give Phoebe a medication that I had not anticipated. No problem! You can feel confident she will take great care of your pet.
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.

I had such a great experience with Bailey. She checked on my cat while I was away, made sure he was fed, cleaned the litter box, and gave him attention. She communicated well and made the whole process stress‑free. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals. I’m very grateful and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Asheville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 572 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Asheville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
