“Natasha was a dream petsitter. Easy communication, positive vibes, and clearly competent with the dog/cats. She’s quick to respond, very communicative, sends tons of pictures, and responsible. I would recommend her to anybody looking to make your vacation as stress free as possible. Thank you Natasha!”
“Matilda was great with our dogs! She was quick to communicate and made the process easy. We received pictures and updates and it was clear the dogs loved having her around. She left the house super clean and even picked up after a bear got into the trash. Thanks for a worry-free experience, will definitely book again for dog sitting needs!”
“Neil stayed over and took great care of our cat and dog while we were gone for 8 nights. The animals were happy and calm when we returned and the house was clean. Thank you so much Neil!”
“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.”
“We needed a sitter to watch our dog, Bernie, during our wedding weekend. Bernie is reactive, doesn't trust many people, and has only stayed with a select few trusted people in the past (who were all at our wedding), but he LOVES Megan. She went out of her way to understand and accommodate his reactivity, and came a few times before the day to make sure he was comfortable. We got photos throughout her stay of all the play sessions, cuddles and walks Bernie enjoyed- which assured us he was not only well taken care of, but having a great time. Megan is also an all around great human. When our original wedding was cancelled due to Hurricane Helene and we couldn't get in contact with anyone, Megan came to our house to make sure we didn't still need a sitter. I have a severe food allergy that requires we don't bring gluten in the house, and she was respectful and cognizant throughout her stay. If you need a sitter for your pet, I would 1000% recommend Megan. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“David was amazing with our 4 fur babies! He was able to watch everyone on very short notice after our sitter backed out. David kept us informed about everyone and sent some pictures. We would highly recommend David! There are not enough kind words to say.”
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”
“Savannah took wonderful care of my adult dog and puppy for the evening. She bonded with the dogs right away, sent plenty of photos and updates, and provided lots of attention with walks in the yard and playtime on the porch. I will definitely use her again.”
About: As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy. I currently work full time as a special education instructional assistant but I am flexible in the evenings (after 4pm), on weekends and during the summer. I take pride in following through with expectations with compassion and excellence. I also enjoy taking photos and sharing documentation of your animal’s wellbeing with you.
“Brandon was the best! He came and met our dog who is always apprehensive about new people. Within in minutes of Brandon’s initial visit our dog was sitting in his lap like he had known him forever. Brandon messaged us the day before he was supposed to come stay with our pets confirming times. He arrived on time and sent videos while we were away. He truly is a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Stacey house-sat for our two dogs for a week. The dogs love her - she took great care of them - and also great care of the house. Everything was clean when we returned. We had a fabulous vacation and the dogs had a special time too! Highly recommend!”
“Kathy was awesome with Ziggy! She was an EXCELLENT communicator. She got back to me super quickly about our booking, and was flexible with time, then during the day sent so many pictures of their adventures and I can honestly say this has been the first time Ziggy came home after a dog sitting so happy and satisfied. I would book Kathy every time if I could! Thanks girl!”
“Sara house sat my older dog for 5 days. It was a good experience for me- she communicated well, sent pics, dog was happy, and my house was clean when I returned. I would not hesitate to call on her again for future needs.”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with 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!”
“Elizabeth has sat cared for our boy a number of times now, and i can't say enough about how wonderful she is. She handles our dog like a member of the family, which is the highest praise that i can give.”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“Jackie did a great job house sitting and watching my cat, Penny. She is quick to reply to messages, sent photos every day, and left the apartment super clean! I would recommend her highly and will use her services again!!”
“Briana was amazing with all of my dogs. Two of them can be very timid and were very comfortable with her in no time. She helped me for two weeks and when I arrived home the dogs were all happy and healthy and my home was clean and tidy. Would highly recommend her!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Asheville is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Asheville
Alice is a great pet sitter! She swooped in at the last minute and saved our trip on a holiday weekend when our usual pet sitter had an injury. Our meet and greet was great and we knew our pets would be in good hands. It’s clear that Alice also has experience with many different temperaments which was a relief because our dogs could not be more opposite!
Maya was great! She took wonderful care of our pack and they absolutely love her. Our dog had some allergy issues amd she took prompt action to manage. She is detail oriented and maintained the daily routine they are accustomed to. She was thoughtful and respectful of our home. She was very responsive in her communication & keeping us updated on how our fur babies were doing. We returned home to an immaculate home & happy pack! We have already rebooked for future needs. Highly recommend!
Eliza recently took care of our two large breed dogs and kitty for a week. She took the time to meet with us beforehand spend time allowing us to get to know her and for our dogs to get comfortable with her throughout our trip sent regular communication with photos and updates, make sure the dogs were exercised, played with and given attention. Eliza took great care of our pets and Home. Highly recommend Eliza !
Jada was wonderful! She communicated well throughout her stay and left the house in great shape. The best part was how quickly our girls fell in love with her. Harriett and Winnifred are normally friendly, however it was clear they had 100% adopted Jada as Auntie! 😂👏 We'd love to have her back anytime!
Brittney did really great with our dog who has some behavioral issues and requires daily medication. She spent time with him at the meet and greet and he warmed right up to her and loves her! She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates including pictures, which was appreciated!
I really don’t know what to say! From our in-home visit to the 15 days he took care of our pets, Levon was great! The dogs are spoiled by the walks and care. Kevin at almost daily pictures and was very accommodating. He brought in refrigerated medication, delivered boxes and the mail. When we got home the dogs were happy to see up, but not frantic and seemed very relaxed! We would recommend Levon to all and we will use him again!
Kristen did an excellent job caring for my senior dog, Jazmine, while staying at my home. She provided daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and her communication was outstanding. Jaz was happy and well cared for when I returned, and my home was in great shape. I would gladly book with Kristin again
Natasha was very patient with our dog while he adjusted to the new person in the house. She provided multiple updates daily, worked with the schedule we had provided her, and even volunteered to stay a little longer on the last day to help keep our boy calm during some thunderstorms that rolled in before we got home; we’ll definitely be using her again!
Nava helped us out after a last-minute cancellation, and she was AWESOME! She was easy-going and flexible, chatted with me for an hour on face time to get the lay of the land, then figured out how to keep our lively pups happy. She sent tons of pictures, asked great questions, and left the home in great condition. I appreciate her so much and would highly recommend her!
Josephine (JC) was fantastic. She did really well with our dogs when we had a brief meet and greet. She showed up on time on the day that her booking started. She sent us regular updates via text message and photos. The dogs really clearly liked her. I'm very eager to plan another trip and book her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Asheville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Asheville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 658 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Asheville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Asheville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
