“It was really lovely to go on vacation and not worry about the care that our animals were receiving. Neil was prompt, sent pictures daily and when we got back our animals were calm and we could tell, well cared for. Thanks Neil!”


“Could not have asked for a better experience. Felt like we had a friend watching Max. Very personable and can tell she loves animals. Will definitely see if she is available any time we need someone for him.”


“Chelsea did a great job! This was my first time using Rover ever, but specifically my first time with my new rescue who is dealing with hyper separation anxiety. Chelsea made this first trip go smoothly for both of us.”


“Jessie was absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be rebooking with him in the future 🙂. Can't say enough good things about him and how good we felt leaving our old hound dog in his care.”


“Eliza was a great first time Rover experience. She was timely for her visits, played with Moby, and always gave updates and sent photos. If you want to have no worries with your pet she is the Rover sitter for you, looking forward to working with her again in the near future.”


“We are so lucky to have met Maddy! She is fantastic, flexible, reliable and most of all great with Mo!! Took him no time to get comfortable with her and enjoys her visits! Absolutely love how she gives me a report and fun photos after her visit!”


“Everything went smoothly; she came over to meet the kitties, showed up on time and sent pictures of them when she was watching them, and followed care instructions. Very pleasant to work with and I plan to reach out to her again the next time I need someone to watch them!”


“Not to be dramatic, but Louise is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My pup, Dolly, absolutely loves her and she’s always providing the sweetest most thoughtful updates and cute pictures. I always know Dolly will be well taken care of with Louise. I work long days in the summer months, so I need someone to give her exercise and attention during the day when I can’t. With other sitters I would come home and Dolly would still seem wound up, but she seems like she’s getting exactly what she needs with Louise. Couldn’t be happier with her!”


About: I have been pet sitting off and on for over 20 years, and have done it as my full time job for around 2 of those years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as cats and kittens. My most challenging experiences have come from my personal pets, and I am happy to be able to share anything I have learned through those challenges. I currently have 2 amazing dogs, Tico and Reuben. Reuben is a rescue pittie with a lot of trauma from before we got him. He is an 85 pound strong puller on leash and also reactive towards other dogs so I have become quite adept at navigating those challenges on walks. Working with him to try to move past his trauma and learn to trust has been one of the most rewarding journeys of my life! I had another pittie before Reuben, so I am an expert at cleaning ears/applying drops. If you know, you know! :) I have never met a dog that enjoys getting a bath, but we get through them and then have a blast during "towel time"! I have years of experience being a thunder buddy, providing comfort during storms or fireworks. My schedule is fully flexible so I am happy to care for your pet when it is most convenient for you. I am also happy to take your dog to a nearby park or walking trail if your area is not ideal for walking. I look forward to working with you to customize my care for your pet to best suit their needs, whether that means taking a walk, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or just giving belly rubs and butt scratches.

“Sydney was very easy to work with and trustworthy. She understood the different temperaments of our two dogs. Gave us updates and pointed out any concerns. Scout is more difficult to work with and Sydney respected her space, now Scout was going to her for attention. This was a first for us with anyone. Thank you Sydney! You Rock!!”


“FANTASTIC SITTER! A+++ professionalism A+++ care A+++ service I gladly recommend her and will definitely hire her again. Where to begin?! To say Kayla is a wonderful, attentive, professional, competent, caring, and overall AMAZING sitter is a total understatement!!! My husband and I went away for ~2 weeks and because of Kayla’s service, we did not once have to worry about our old cat. Kayla was diligent about sending us daily photo updates with a small blurb about the happenings, and checked-in/out in a timely manner. She was communicative and familiar, to the point where I chatted her up and had to reel it back hahaha I truly felt like I left my cat in the care of a friend Id known forever! Kayla is clearly kind and affectionate, because while our cat is not mean and would ever attack/bite/scratch, he is 16 years old so he can be picky about who he dotes on - and he was loving on Kayla a lot! I am so beyond happy with this interaction and the fact that my cat trusts and loves Kayla. We definitely made the right choice booking her; I will happily recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future. Thank you Kayla!???”


“Katie is wonderful! Kept us informed all through her visits, our big dog had issues with her bowels and Katie never missed a beat with it. Very conscientious with the girls welfare and happiness.”



About: Ever since I was a little kid I fell in love with every animal I met. Starting in high school I began watching pets for neighbors, family and friends. I have lived in the Asheville area now since 2017 and have spent time pet sitting many dogs, cats and chickens. I am open to watching all pets and look forward to meeting them! I am a self-employed ceramic artist so my schedule can be very flexible to house sitting, dog walking, etc. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate any schedule you need! I have reliable transportation and am happy to come take care of your animals in your home. I have a Subaru Outback and can easily put your dog in the car to go to a park or walking trail. I do not watch pets at my own home. I currently live in an apartment building with restricted animal rules and have my own cat who is older and does not want to be around other animals.

About: passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I strive to provide personalized attention and care to each dog I look after. I am a homemaker that does not work a set schedule so I can be flexible to assist with pet care anytime of day and night I always ask owners for the specific needs, rules, schedule of their pets because every pet is unique and have their own needs and different personalities

Allison S.
“Allie has taken care of my two cats Benny and Jasper many times. She spends time with them when she is here, both feeding and petting them and giving them snuggles. Both my cats need thyroid medicine and she was able to do that easily. She always leaves the litter boxes and litter area nice and clean. She cleans out the cats water and food dishes each day too. Would highly recommend her!”


Milendi O.
“Milendi (Milen as we call her) loves animals! Her best friend, a Yorkshire Terrier named Pablo passed in 2024 at the age of 12 and she is still missing him everyday. The hole in her heart from Pablo's passing is filled by fostering dogs and helping out other owners through gigs on Rover. You couldn't leave your animal in better hands than Milen.”
