“Rosko loves Alice and LB! He appreciates walking with either or both of them, and they're happy to explore the neighborhood with him. They're calm, responsive, and great at communicating. Five wags!”
“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.”
About: I’m a registered nurse with experience in behavioral health, and I have both a puppy and a senior dog at home. I understand the patience, structure, and attentiveness pets need at every stage of life. I prioritize safety, routine, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and cared for I work three 12-hour shifts as a nurse, so my schedule varies each week. Because of that flexibility, I’m a great option for last-minute bookings, random one-offs, or when your regular walker isn’t available. I offer dependable drop-ins and walks focused on meals, potty breaks, and quality attention. I only provide walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to focus fully on your pet in their own home environment. As a nurse, I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific feeding, medication, or behavior instructions. Your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my priority.
“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!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of our little fur friend! Pics were great and update was thorough. And all at the last minute! Highly recommend if looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter! Will definitely be using her services again. Many thanks Ashley!”
“We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!”
About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.
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.
“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!”
“John D is awesome and Ruby loves him! He has made such a difference in her! If you are on the fence about dog walking, it’s so worth it! I highly recommend John. He is also teaching her better manners on the leash. We couldn’t be happier with him and his great care of Ruby!”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, and I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and small pets for 15 years. I’m experienced with overnights, special needs, and medication, and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I keep owners updated while they’re away, and I pride myself on reading animals’ cues—most feel at ease with me after just a few visits. I’m a part time student and employee who sets her own schedule so no worries on fitting your baby into my week!! There is always room 🤗 I care for pets at Your home! I make sure to find their favorite toys and spots to play and keep them safe while watching them outside.
About: I grew up in a house full of pets and I love taking care of animals, it’s always so fun meeting new pets and getting to know their personalities. I work remotely and I can be pretty flexible with my schedule. Happy to check in at any time and provide the necessary caregiving for your pet! I have a fenced in dog park that is rarely used at my apartment complex. I don’t mind going on extended walks and administering medicine when needed.
“Megan was so caring for my pups! She kept in touch with updates and pictures, and made sure they got exercise and extra love in my absence. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”
“We cannot recommend Minori enough! She has been absolutely outstanding and so patient with our pup. He has been shy and avoidant despite her taking the time to come over and meet him with us. Despite him hiding and growling, she has taken her time every time for him to warm up to her. I’m certain he looks forward to seeing her mid day now and we have full faith she will keep him safe and have fun while we’re not home!”
“Megan has been such a life saver! Bella is so much happier when she gets her walks with Megan in the afternoons. Megan is very trusting, professional and detailed oriented. I highly recommend her!”

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!
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!

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.

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.

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
- 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.
