“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!”
“Caleb, a fairly recent rescue dog with residual anxiety, spent two weeks with Kristin and took only a few hours to readjust to being back home with us. I think this reflects the attention and secure, loving home that Kristin provided. Caleb had other dogs to play with, a cozy indoor environment, and a regular schedule at his home-away-from-home. I would certainly recommend Kristin and will use her again in the future.”
“Terri has watched my pup a few times now and it's been great each time! The most recent time was for a whole week. I was concerned about finding someone who could handle a wild and not-yet fully trained puppy and Terri has been so sweet, gracious and relaxed about everything. She even sent me photo/video so I could see how Zelda was doing. I love the farm atmosphere that Terri provides. She's clearly a true animal lover and Zelda seems to enjoy spending time visiting with both the human and animal friends she's made at Terri's. So glad we found someone capable, trustworthy and kind!”
“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!”
“Richard and his family were so nice to meet! I could definitely tell Tivoli felt comfortable with him and company, I’m glad that he had such a great time out on some fun activities too!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“We had our small pup, Tinkerbell stay with Vicky for 4 days & nights. She was so good with Tinkerbell, we were so impressed how much time & attention was given to our sweet Tink. She went on 3-4 walks daily, had children to enjoy, many videos & photos & they had toys to play with. Tink had a great vacation too. We loved Vicky & would highly recommend her for dog walking & boarding! Thank you Vicky, Tink can’t wait to come again for a visit with you & we appreciate your excellent care with her. Debbie & Tom”
“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!”
“Courtney was great! She was super helpful in helping me book a last minute boarding. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, and David seemed to have a great time!”
“Tobey had a wonderful time at Katie and Jeremy’s. I loved all the daily photos ! We will definitely bring Tobey back to this loving family the next time we need to board Tobey!”
“Fernanda was incredible! My boyfriend and I have separation anxiety I think more than our pup Walter does and Fernanda put us at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation. She sent us pics and videos and updates throughout the weekend. Our dog can be a handful as he has tons of energy but he had a blast playing in her yard and with her dog who was super sweet! I will 100% be booking with Fernanda again for our next time we need a sitter.”
About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
“I HIGHLY recommend Maria and Jose!! They took excellent care of my little morkie and treated her as one of their family. I really appreciated their regular updates and when my flight was delayed, they were very accommodating. I feel so fortunate to have found them and will definitely use them again!”
“Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and Bryan and the care they gave Theo on his recent (and 1st overnight) visit. The property is a dream, and they are both dog people who know how handle introductions and new environments. Our dog is typically skittish and protective over us and he had the time of his LIFE with them. They are now our go-to in hopes they don’t book out so far in advance haha. So thankful to have found a wonderful family and new friends.”
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Allison was amazing! She listened and went above and beyond to take care of my pup who requires extra attention with his eating habits! She gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing. I will definitely use her help when I need a sitter next time!”

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!
Jackson and Nichole were wonderful when caring for our boys! They were open, kind, flexible, and understanding. We were in a pinch, and they worked with us. When Luka was acting out of character, they worked with him and us, knowing he is a puppy. Their sweet dog, Indie, was a great playmate for the boys, and I am sure they miss her. We highly recommend them!
Golda was great! Very communicative and sent several pictures of our pup while we were away. She has a great fenced in yard that our dog loved, he was very happy when we picked him up and seemed to be well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again!
Melissa was so great! We recently adopted our dog and needed pet sitting for the weekend of July 4th. She was very accommodating and adaptable to changing needs and the unknown of how our dog would respond to fireworks. She sent us very comforting updates and pictures. We were so grateful to know our girl was in such great hands and really appreciated her expertise.
I highly recommend Nate’s services. He was very gracious to us when searching for boarding before a holiday weekend. The meet and greet process was seamless, and I genuinely feel like my dog had an excellent time during her stay. During her board, we received many photos of her having a blast or otherwise comfortably fast asleep. If you book with Nate and Bilbo, you won’t regret it.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Asheville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Asheville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Asheville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
