“Neil was a perfect fit for my doggos! My mini Aussie is skeptical of new people and he was patient with her and my golden(who is easy going) enjoyed Neil caring for him as well. He’s communicative and quick to respond which I appreciate while I’m away from my animals. I’d recommend Neil to anyone who needs a trustworthy, patient, understanding and great with instructions dog watcher.”
“Our dogs looked forward to Natasha's visit every day for their walks. She was a good communicator, arrived on time and I entrusted her with their well-being while out and about. We look forward to using her dog-walking services in the future. Thank you, Natasha!”
“My dog takes time to warm up to people and Levon has done a great job being patient and loving with my German Shepard! Levon is great at handling dogs and gives great updates on the walks!”
“First time having someone new take care of my kids, and she did amazing. All my pets adored her, they were so happy and comfortable. Cleaned up the all food and sent really cute pictures. Absolutely recommend her!!!!”
“Bess is so wonderful with our sweet pup! We are grateful to have her recurring, reliable help making certain he is well loved and well exercised. He always has the biggest smile on his face in the photos Bess sends of their time together…and he is always tuckered out when we return from those long days at work. Thank you, Bess!”
“Alex is highly recommended by us and our dog, Duncan. Before finding Alex, we have never trusted the care of our dog or house to anyone. We can’t tell you how thankful we are for finding Alex!”
About: Ive owned dogs since a child..Basset Hound. Doberman, Pugs (I used to foster pugs in Dallas and adopted 4 at one point), Boston Terrier, Mixed breeds and love them all. Ive currently got a Beagle mix that I adopted 12 yrs ago "Jaz". Pet sitting has mostly been friends pets and since I'm new to the area, looking to get out of Corporate and thought this would be great time to spend with fur babies. I’m currently building an art-focused business and have a flexible schedule that works well for house sitting and pet care. I’m available for early morning walks and feedings, as well as afternoon check-ins, playtime and walks. I enjoy creating a steady routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I keep dogs on leash anytime we are outside unless we are in a securely fenced yard or an approved off-leash area. I follow your rules around food and only give their regular meals and treats. My priority is keeping your pet safe, comfortable and happy.
About: My goal is to create your pets best “play-cation”. While you enjoy the adventures of your life, I provide a safe and comfortable space for your pet to enjoy theirs too! Animals have been apart of my life from the start. I’ve lived with (big) dogs all my life. Both of my dogs have dealt with health issues so from a very young age I was learning how to take special care of my dogs, giving them medication and special treatment. By the age of 10, I was so excited to volunteer pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities by working at a dog boarding/ day care. I would supervise groups of 10 dogs at a time, maintaining a safe and playful environment. My love for our 4-legged friends is forever growing. I have a passion for sharing my love with every pet that I meet. I try to give my pup the best life that I can and I hope to do the same for many others! I’m currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My schedule is flexible for both day time and overnight. I value incorporating exercise and adventure into my daily life and I would love to bring your pet along with me! Safety in the comfort of your home: I provide dog walks in your neighborhood and longer trail walks if desired. I always keep dogs leashed for safety while encouraging as much play at possible. Safety in the warmth of my home: I have a very sweet and cozy space. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a long leash for potty breaks and I live in a great neighborhood where I walk dogs regularly. I love taking pups on field trips to hikes near by and of course always enjoy cozy cuddle time. I am comfortable following any feeding or medication needs as directed. I am happy to do a meet and greet before sitting to make sure that we’re the best fit for each other.
“Rosko loves Bridget! She has such a great connection with dogs, and it's wonderful to see the fun they have together on walks. She brings out his joy, letting him explore and spread love. We've been able to be mutually flexible, with good communication about what works at letting me know she's received messages and will get back to me. She'll usually write a lighthearted summary of their walk on the Rover card for the walk.”
“Rosko loves walking with Chelsea! He's happy when she arrives, and gets all the sniffs he needs. She's walked him quite a few times, and she's very responsive and reliable.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I understand that each one has different needs, whether that’s lots of playtime, structured walks, or just calm companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or closer attention. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners and simple commands, and I always stay consistent with routines to help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time and attend school, but I have plenty of breaks between classes and free time after school, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the week. I’d love to care for your pet during those times and keep them company. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and feedings, and I can also stay at your home if needed. At the moment, I’m not able to host pets in my own space, but I’m happy to provide care in a way that’s most comfortable for you and your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, or any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and tidy, and I pay attention to any changes in behavior to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. If needed, I can provide updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, but I’m very flexible with drop-in visits, walks, and in-home stays to meet your pet’s needs.
“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

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!
Levon did a wonderful job with our dog Banks! Banks was recovering from stitches with some extra care needs, and Levon handled everything perfectly — the cone routine, the gentle leader, all of it. He truly worked with Banks rather than just walking him, coordinated easily with our house sitter, and stayed flexible on timing. We’d book him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Hays is fantastic! He took to my pup right away, despite his being an excitable bark-head. He was patient, calm, kind, affectionate, and fun-loving w/ my baby boy! Hays is a great communicator; he arrived right on time and kept thing seamless and easy ~ So much appreciate it, my boy had so much fun in Hays care!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Asheville on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,009 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 your Asheville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Asheville.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
