“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Terri and her husband were so SWEET to me and Ares. They have the best little farm for my dog to run around on. He had the best time staying with them and I would absolutely use her again. They are such kind people!”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Kyle was great! My sweet girl Hope is very shy, but Kyle gave me assurance that she would be well taken care of and she was. She came out of her shell and even play with their dog Lou. I highly recommend her and will use her services in the future. Thanks again Kyle, Randy and Lou!”
“Jose and Maria always take excellent care of my little dog! I receive daily updates including pictures and videos. When I travel, I don’t worry about my little girl because she’s in wonderful hands! Thank you guys!”
“Fernanda was wonderful! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She was very flexible and caring for Maggie and I would not hesitate to rebook her if I need pet sitting services again! Great experience.”
“I can’t say enough good about Melody. We would leave Gaia in her care any time. If she lived close to us and we were going away for a month, we would leave Gaia in her care and feel 100% secure. She has a lovely environment for a dog ( or a human), made our dog feel instantly comfortable, and showed her a really good time.”
“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❤️”
“Rowdy had a great time (again) with Miranda. He recognized her place as we drove up and was so excited when he realized where we were! He was obviously comfortable there in the picture she sent of him cozy and snorning.”
“Paul was phenomenal from the get go. From the meet and greet to Mavis coming home communication was amazing. He sent updates and videos as Mavis settled in and adjusted. I highly recommend him to everyone. You won’t regret it. We will be booking with him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I’ve also taken care of cats along with bunnies, guinea pigs, mice, and frogs. I have also helped take care of senior dogs who needed help walking and also puppies. I am currently going to school at UNCA so I would stay at your home or also have your dog in my dorm the school doesn’t mind. I would take them outside in the morning and in between classes. There is also a dog park behind my dorm building. I will stop by and feed animals and stay if wanted to and also walk them and play with them during my free time. I can take care of whatever you need including tidying up.
“Guinness came home relaxed and happy after his stay with Kristin and Seth. Their comfort level and joy with having dogs in their home was obvious. Our boy received lots of attention and activity (walks) while we were away. Thank you so much!”
About: We are Chris, Susan, Louisa (3 year old daughter), and Theo (active playful Aussie)! We know the value of having someone watch your dog while you go explore, take a trip, or just wanting your pup to have some super zoomie time with another dog. We live in the Haw Creek neighborhood (near the Masters Park trailhead). Our property is set up for dogs to able to play and roam in the fenced in yard. Since we do have a young child in the house - dogs must be friendly with children. We do take our own precautions and never let her play with them during mealtimes. We have flexible schedules so your pup won’t be home alone more than 4 hours at a time max. Our property is a great one for dogs to explore safely. Our 1 acre yard is fenced with a driveway gate that stays closed. Let us know if you have an escape artist though! Very small dogs could fit through some parts of the fence.
“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
About: I currently am working as an ER veterinary nurse. Previously, I was a nurse at a general practice hospital for 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I do work as a ER veterinary nurse in the area, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who don’t, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of theirs pets in different ways. Depending on the circumstances, I taken care of dogs at my house where they can run and play in our big fenced yard. Other times, I’ve stayed at friend’s house to keep their dog comfortable in his own home. Lastly, I’ve helped by stopping by and checking on pets few times a day or as needed. I work remotely with a flexible schedule during the week, and most Fridays off giving me plenty of free time to help you with your pet. I have a big fenced yard where the dogs can run free and safe when they need fresh air, and a big comfy space indoors perfect to take naps and keep me company while I work.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Asheville
Great experience with Fernanda. She was very responsive leading up to the visit. Excellent location for having our two cocker spaniels visit. Nice neighborhood. Nice house with fully fenced yard. Fernanda has a very sweet Vizsla. Our guys very quickly were playing with dog. Visit went well.
Our dog Buddy was very comfortable with Jen and he can be nervous with some people. She gave him his medications, kept us informed of how he was doing and included photos with her texts. We will definitely want to use Jen the next time we leave town. Thanks again Jen!
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!
This was Blu’s second time staying with Jacqueline so I already knew he was in great hands. He was excited to arrive at her home. I got photos and updates and could easily tell that he was being loved. Jacqueline is great with communication and was so accommodating when my flight was repeatedly delayed. I highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Asheville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 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.
As of October 2026, there are 349 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Asheville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Asheville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Asheville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Asheville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Asheville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
