“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
“David did a great job with my pups, especially considering one was sick and needing medications. I really appreciate that he checked in and sent updates at least once a day. I plan to schedule him again.”
“Neil watched over our 2 pups on super last minute notice. So appreciative of that and he provided excellent care. He sent us updated pictures and videos and even took our pups on a nearby hike.. Neil is so kind and warm hearted. Got to meet him in advance and he welcomed us back home before he ended his sit. Our home was in great shape upon our arrival. Will be keeping in touch with Neil for future sits.”
“Jackson and Nichole were absolutely fantastic house and dog sitters! From the moment I initially reached out, they got back to me immediately and maintained incredible communication throughout the entire meet-and-greet process. When they came to the house, it was clear they were truly excited to meet and hang out with my pups, Lily and Thatcher. I admit I can be a little over-the-top when it comes to the safety and happiness of my dogs, but they made me feel completely comfortable and safe. I practically sent them a book of instructions and expectations, and they happily confirmed everything while working through any potential concerns. While I was away, they provided daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. They even went above and beyond by leaving work during their lunch break just to provide an additional potty break during the day. I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for attentive, reliable, and deeply caring sitters.”
“Alema was wonderful! She kept me updated and sent photos daily! The cats were cared for, loved on, and really took to her! She is truly the cat whisperer. I will absolutely call on her again!”
“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
“Casey was a great sitter! She was very communicative, and most importantly, our dogs seemed super relaxed when we came home. It was clear she had spent a lot of time with them and made them feel cared for and loved. We will definitely use her again!”
“Blair did an outstanding job caring for my two special needs, senior pugs in my home while I was traveling out of state for several days. She followed all guidance, including fairly complicated medication and feeding requirements. She shared several updates a day with pictures and was quick to reply to my messages. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would definitely work with her again.”
“Megan is very communicative and always helps us feel happy that Cali is happy. She takes her on long walks and has been extremely patient with Cali's love for mud and water! We trust her with our pup and Cali is always happy when we return.”
“Brandon did an incredible job for us. He walked our dog multiple times a day, and even took him for neighborhood play dates. He was extremely professional and caring, and our dog was so happy to be with him. Our travel home was complicated by weather, and Brandon made sure he stayed with our dog until he knew we would be headed home. Our flights were delayed, and this meant Brandon stayed over at our home until 10 pm. I can’t recommend Brandon enough. He’s an excellent choice as a Dogsitter, and we have been so grateful for his help.”
“Ashley went above and beyond watching my elderly pup for the weekend taking her on long walks and spending tons of time with her outside. She sent tons of photos and kept me updated too. I highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
About: I've provided loving care to all sorts of animals! I am new to Rover, but not new to caring for fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, and have been a nanny for almost a decade. I love to nurture! I've always adored critters of all kinds since an early age, I grew up with a family dog and 3 cats, as well as hamsters, reptiles, fish, birds and more. I am one of those people who finds it is easier to connect with animals than humans at times, and I have a good general knowledge of dog training, reading body language and caring for reactive or higher needs animals. I am currently only working 1 day per week for 4 hours at a pottery studio in Asheville, and one day a week I work remote. My schedule is very flexible, during my free time I am a ceramic artist and help my partner run our farm in Marshall, so have a lot of freedom in creating my schedule based on house sitting / pet care needs. I am a slow morning person, so will take the time to provide potty breaks, playtime and cuddles to your fur baby! I pride myself on safety and keeping your pets comfortable and at ease. I will keep off limit foods/items out of reach, and have a lot of awareness around things in the home or outside that could be dangerous. If something comes up and I am unsure on how you'd like it to be handled, I will contact you and keep you informed. I am not a forgetful person and am meticulous about safety and keeping your home secure. I take my time to clean up after myself and will leave your home clean and tidy.
“Cassandra went above and beyond and accepted the request super last minute when I was unexpectedly hospitalized. My dog, Shadow, has liver cancer and takes multiple oral meds. Cassandra did great, and my house looked amazing! I cannot thank you enough!”
“Alice was such a joy to work with and so good with Sadie. I got pictures while I was away and multiple check-ins and updates daily. We even got a great supplement recommendation from Alice for Sadie’s joints. She’s very knowledgeable and caring. Sadie and I will welcome her back in our home to house- and pet-set any time! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.”
“Kathleen was a great help taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town overnight! She was very communicative with updates and photos and was comfortable with giving oral meds. We would highly recommend her and hope to book her again soon. Thanks again Kathleen!”
“Took excellent care of my Zoey and my home. I have a puppy who is in the adolescence stages of being a jerk, and she was very understanding. Walked my dog often and even sent me pictures playing, and generally being settled and calm. This helped me get through my sudden adventure I needed to go on with peace of mind.”
“I know Levon works mostly with dogs and I was very happy he was available on short notice (I had another rover sitter cancel within a week of my trip) to watch my sweet Anna. She can be shy and she was comfortable with Levon and he was able to give her the medication she needs. He was responsive and kept me updated. I would book with him again!”

Lauren was great with our dog Snickers! She was very communicative and sent us pictures daily. She took him on walks daily and managed his leash-reactivity well. She gave our kitties lots of love and attention. Lauren also went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean house! We will definitely be using her again!
Blair did an outstanding job caring for my two special needs, senior pugs in my home while I was traveling out of state for several days. She followed all guidance, including fairly complicated medication and feeding requirements. She shared several updates a day with pictures and was quick to reply to my messages. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would definitely work with her again.
Alice is an excellent sitter. She took the very best care of my 2 needy cats, always sending pictures and updates. I came home to a clean house, laundry done and my plants looked better than before I left. This was a 2 week sit and she went above and beyond! Highly recommend!
Megan was so amazing. Could not recommend her enough. She was very thorough with her notes and she gave updates on my cat constantly. It was the best experience I have had with a pet sitter and house sitter. She did above and beyond with my cat and even my house. I will be using her again in the future.
Incredible. Suzanne was kind courteous and prompt. We have a full house with 3 pets who needed overnight care while out of town for a little over a week. We had a meet and greet with the hand off for expectations and instructions. She sent daily updates, made special treats for our pets, handled dog walks and even took Kaz to the park! He had a great time and so did we. Highly recommend Suzanne and our pets are also looking forward to seeing her again soon! Thank you so much.
Jess was excellent! I was super busy with work after booking and she took the initiative to schedule a meet and greet and was very good at communicating. She sent updates, pictures, and took great care of my dogs. One of which requires daily medicine. I could tell my girls were not stressed and enjoyed her company after we got home. Would definitely recommend her for any house/pet sitting.
Nathan was incredible and stayed with our two difficult dogs (one senior mostly blind and a hound dog who doesn’t like new people coming inside) at our house for over a week while we were in Mexico. We can’t recommend him enough. He found out that our dogs got fleas while we were gone and bathed and shampooed them right away. He also watered all of our plants and garden and kept the place super clean. We also had a flight cancellation on our way back last minute and Nathan happened to have hand surgery that day but came over to right after to take care of them another night. We would highly recommend him and would rate him more than 5 stars if the app lets you).

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Asheville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Asheville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Asheville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.

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.
