“What’s more to say than Jessie is your dream dog walker and a professional trainer as well. I have an 85 lb highly reactive dog who Jessie handles with extreme care and ease. I can safely say I trust Jessie 5000% with looking after and exercising our dog. They are highly communicative (super important to me), punctual and always provide detailed reports. Jessie has officially set the gold Standard for what anyone would want in a pet care giver!”
“Zia loved walking with Natasha. She definitely has a special way with animals, it was a pleasure to see her when she came for his walk. She always greeted him with delight & excitement. Natasha was conscientious about the heat & kept him cool which I really appreciated. I felt very good having him with her, it was a great week. Thank you Natasha!”
“Morgan did a wonderful job with our nervous dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was obvious that she cared a lot about taking the best care of our girl!”
“Jen was absolutely wonderful taking care of my dog, Charlie! She's a lovely person and a blessing! She's my go-to person for future dog care needs in Asheville. Thank you, Jen!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was little and I've watched a few dogs in Asheville and taken them on walks and we always have a great time. I'm a musician, so I'm home full time and i have a flexible schedule and plenty of space to play with and walk a dog. My home is a very calm environment, and we have a nice outdoor space. The neighbors have dogs so there could be opportunities to play with other dogs if that's something they're into. If I was at your house it would be pretty much the same, I would of course be attentive and careful and I would treat your things like they were mine.
“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
“We've been using Stacey for dog walks for about a year now, and would recommend her to anyone. She is very reliable and I never habe to worry about anything. Our dog loves her also”
“Lisa is so awesome!! I can tell she puts a lot of love into caring for my doggo. We have had an ongoing consistent dogwalking arrangement and she's been on time and thorough each time!”
“I really appreciate how easy Aaron has made having my puppy looked after while I work my long shifts on the weekends. So flexible, assertive and great at communicating everything from how the walk went, what we are working with him on as well as working out future arrangements. Thank you so much for easing the stress of having a puppy in an apt out a bit! You've been a blessing. 🤗”
“Shannon has watched our fur babies on multiple occasions when we have been out of town. She also walks our dog, Winnie. She is very responsive and timely. We have had a wonderful experience with her, and I often recommend her to friends. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a baby! I have always loved caring and being with them, but as I’ve gotten to college I’ve got to experience this less and less. I’ve pet sat + dog walked for many family friends and so I thought this would be a great opportunity to get back to being around pets and share my love for animals. I am in college as well as athletics, but this only consists of early morning practices and I have little classes during the day as I am near finished with my degree! I have plenty of open time for all your wonderful pets needs :) I am very attentive to animals and their needs and enjoy being outdoors so I’d love to spend time with them both inside and outside. I make sure to always leave a space tidy and clean as well and ensure the animals needs are my top priority.
About: I have over 20 years of experience walking, sitting and caring for dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur child in the hands of a stranger and I treat every animal as if it were my own. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands and receiving all the love, care, and attention they deserve. I also work from home so I give lots of attention and pets throughout the day to your pups. I grew on a small farm and have a natural ability to understand animals. I have trained my own dog and assisted in training a boarder collie puppy my parents owned. I feel comfortable sitting/walking dogs of various sizes and breeds. I've also had a cat growing up and have taken care of neighbors cats for extended periods of time. I live a healthy and active style and would love to take your dog on hikes or runs around the area while you are away. If they are more of a couch potato I am also happy to snuggle up on the couch with them equally. I work remote so would be available on weekdays to take our pet out frequently. I am free on weekends to spend all of my time with them as well! I don't have a yard but am close to many outdoor places and live an active lifestyle. My home is comfortable and safe for pets.
“I am so glad we found Jordan to help walk and take care of our dog! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Jordan was so reliable and great at sending pictures and updates on how our dog was doing each visit. If you are looking for a trustworthy and punctual person to help with your dog then I highly recommend her!”
About: Ive always adored animals with my whole heart. They are my passion and my purpose. I have owned dogs all my life of different kinds. I am now on the road traveling and constantly trying to find ways to connect and spend time with animals while continuing to fuel my passion of exploring this beautiful world:) I am building my own skincare business while on the road always moving, always preparing to stay anywhere needed. Flow where the animals take me:) Always will play with toys, lots of energy, and cuddles when open & accepted. Can bathe, feed, go on walks, and any house service thats needed. Love to stay busy if I can help out

Natasha is flexible with my schedule that is always changing since I am an in home caregiver. She takes care of my fur baby like he is her own. She informs me of if there is a concern with his stool quality which helped me find his anul gland infection. She is the best dog Walker I have ever had!
Shannon has watched our fur babies on multiple occasions when we have been out of town. She also walks our dog, Winnie. She is very responsive and timely. We have had a wonderful experience with her, and I often recommend her to friends. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!
Cannot say enough good things! Isabella was communicative, timely, kind as can be, flexible, easy going, and just wonderful with my baby boy! She let him lead the way to his favorite walking place, indulged his sweet, silly, good nature, and had us at ease immediately. Thank you so kindly, Isabella!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Asheville is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 980 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Asheville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Asheville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Asheville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Asheville. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
