About: I have been caring for animal for around 10 years. I have dog, cat and house sat for many folks during that time. I love bringing peace of mind knowing your furry friends are safe and comfortable! I work part-time and have lots of flexibility to walk or play with your dog! I am open to discussing your needs and a schedule that works for both of us. I have three indoor cats. They’re great with dogs, and I am able to take dogs on walks around the greenway! It is my preference to come to you!
About: I absolutely adore dogs and kitties ♥️ since I was young, I’ve had pets and have been taught the responsibility of how to take care of them. I regularly sit for for people and have always loved meeting more furry friends! I work full time in insurance - in office from 8-5pm. I can tend to pets on lunch breaks and after 5pm. I’m happy to stay overnight if needed ♥️ Sadly, I cannot care for pets at my home as I am in an apartment complex. At your home, I can attned to your pet just as you would if you were there. 🐾

About: My husband and I have spent our time volunteering with animal rescues for years. Our rescue pup Sal is our everything. That said, we know how hard it is to find safe and loving homes for your pets while your away. We have used Rover ourselves for this same need which is how we got to thinking of giving back! We want to provide reassuring, loving care for your pet while you are away. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your pet. I am available for hikes with your dog (if permitted), long walks, or just lots of cuddles. Due to lease restrictions, we do not offer boarding in our home at this time. We are more then happy to visit your dog or cat locally!
“Alema had great communication, was timely, took lots of photos, brought sanitized and clean, enrichment toys for my kitty to play with with her and checked that my kitty's feeder and fountain were working properly and had enough food and water. Would love to have her as a sitter 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!”

“We've booked with Matilda twice now and each time she has been super responsive, very caring towards our two cats and our home. We hope to work with Matilda again in the future!”

“I am so happy we booked with Sarah! Not only was she timely and responsible, but she was a great fit for Piper! She sent several pictures during each visit and gave a thorough update every time. It was clear she spent lots of time time playing with Piper - she didn’t just feed her and leave. She also watered some of our plants. We are so thankful for Sarah and plan to book with her again!”

“Carolyn did a great job with our six kitties including our girl who needs regular medicine. She even managed to get the little scaredy cat to come out and say hi which rarely happens. Everything was well maintained and well kept with litter boxes, bowls and foods. Carolyn kept all our fur babies entertained and loved in our absence and kept our home safe and secure.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am a PA student on clinical rotations, so my availability is weird but I will try to work with you! I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.
“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.”

“Danae was amazing!! So helpful and kind, even went out of her way to help me and contact Rover when I made mistakes booking to make sure I didn’t over spend! Sent me pics of the fur babies and kept me updated!! Book with Danae you will not regret it!”

About: Hello! I’m Golda, I love going on hikes in and around Asheville area and would love to take along your furry pal. I have dog training experience and am confident with all sizes and temperaments. I am a dedicated public school teacher who’s also an avid animal lover. I ran a small homestead, caring for a wide range of livestock for seven years. While I spend the school year fostering young minds, I’m excited to offer my services as a dependable pet and farm animal caregiver as often as possible! I understand the unique needs of each animal and take pride in providing personalized, loving care while you’re away. Whether it's daily walks, training exercises or administering medication, I’m here to make sure your pets and animals receive top-notch care. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood, adjacent to Oakley Park. My home provides 1/4 acre of fenced yard to run and play in. Regular updates with photos and notes.

“Alex was so friendly and professional. I appreciate his thorough reports and all the photos. Alex made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten, knowing she was in good and capable hands.”

About: I've looked after dogs and cats all my life. I've also cared for reptiles, primarily snakes. I've seen animals through all kinds of illness and end-of-life care. I love to take dogs on long walks or chill around the house. I'm a self-employed artist with a teenage kid. Since I work for myself from my home studio my days are extremely flexible and I can make time for your pet! I can look after your pet in your home as needed. I've given animals IV fluids and medicine by syringe and can care for your animals, whether sick or well. I've raised both puppies and kittens and can work with crates and training regimens. I also had a python for a few years, so can handle a snake if needed. I'm a responsible adult and will always respect your home and your animals.
About: The types of experience I’ve had was taking care of two of my friends dogs over the years and I myself have three dogs that I love and adore I'm currently in school in the morning , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for House sitting, walking the dogs, drop-in visit, etc. Well all depends on the dog I’m going to take care of.. like one of my dog is very lazy for no reason and the other two are very hyper.. so what I do is that I walk the two dogs or take them to a dog park so they can play with other dogs and the other dog I just cuddle with him give him tummy rubs:)
“Taylor took care of my dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. She sent me pictures every check in and my dogs absolutely loved her. Couldn't have been more happy with my decision to hire Taylor. Will definitely be using her services again!”

Asheville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adalin took great care of our pup, Boone! She updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Carolyn was amazing with my animals. I appreciated her notes with them and her pictures. She went above and beyond with my cat making sure his litter was clean and making sure my dog got walked as much as possible. She made it easier for me to be away from them and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their fur babies.

Emily always does SUCH a great job with Vader. He loves when she comes to check on him and it makes the short term separation a little easier for me knowing how comfortable he is with her. She is extremely respectful of my expectations and treats my home and Vader with the utmost care. Added bonus, she gets the greatest action shots of Vaders energy and happiness.

Maria is awesome! Highest possible recommendation. She is new to Rover but she has been house sitting for us for years and is the best house sitter we've ever had! Not only is Maria a superb animal caretaker and house sitter, she is who you want taking care of your house if something goes wrong. Over the years she has house sat for us, she's delt with plumbing, electrical and AC issues that have popped up while we are traveling. She handled all of them with the utmost care and professionalism. Again, we give Maria our highest recommendation for all pet services!

Paris has been walkingy dog several times a week for over a month. My dog Asher absolutely adores Paris! He seems to know when Paris is on the way to my house. Asher also boarded once at Paris' home when I had a brief emergency hospitalzation. Asher was well cared for. I can highly recommend Paris.

Hannah has been coming by once a week to play with my puppy & she’s great! My pup had a LOT of energy & Hannah keeps her active, gives her puzzle toys, & goes along with whatever new activity I have planned for the pup. She also sends cute pics & I can tell they’re having fun :)
