“Jessie went above and beyond to get to Winnie and give her a couple great walks and provide great feedback. A snow wall was not enough to keep him away. Thrilled with our first rover experience thanks to him!”
“It was wonderful to meet Jen and I could tell our animals really felt cared for. She was super responsive, prompt, great at communicating and very loving towards our furry friends! We all really appreciate her!”
“Ellie was great! She took great care of our cats, including giving medication. She took great pictures of the kitties which helped with how much we missed them. She demonstrated a lot of affection for the cats.”
“This was the first time Shannon did a drop-in to let our dogs out while we were gone for the day and it went great. We didn't have to worry about rushing home cause they were taken care of. Will definitely use her again when we have the need.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. There has only been a few years in my own life that I haven’t had a dog. In my adult years I have taken care of a wild variety of pups, from the little chihuahuas to my malinois and lab friends. I’m comfortable playing with every activity level, between a solid game of tug to a gentle peekaboo. I’m always happy to be delivering treats and kissing foreheads. I work part time during the day on M/T/W and a few hours on Thursday. My evenings and weekends have been wide open lately, and I would love to spend that time with my furry friends. I love being the one that pets are excited to see. I spend a lot of my free time walking my own pup, who will likely not tag along unless there’s been a relationship established. I am as careful with every dog as I am with my own. I love long walks and a good healthy playtime.
“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful. We truly appreciate her willingness to drive such a long distance to take care of Bella. She did a great job, was very caring, and made sure everything went smoothly. We are so thankful for her help and would definitely recommend 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.
“I will absolutely book with Alice again. She showed up when she said she would and, most importantly, communicated perfectly. I feel much more at ease going on vacation now knowing that Alice will be taking care of my pup!”
“Tobias was very attentive and made sure my dog had all of his needs taken care of during his drop in visits over the weekend. He was also very informative during his visits. My dog is 14 years old and he also did a great job administering all of his meds. I definitely recommend Tobias!”
“Alexandra was so kind and helpful! She took great care of my cat, and was also willing to check that my power and water was working during the cold snap. She gave me great peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom always had at least three dogs in the house along with a few cats, and I would regularly take care of them whenever she was away. Currently, she has four dogs, a miniature horse, and chickens, so I’m very familiar with a wide range of animals and their needs. I’ve also taken in pets from family members who were unable to care for them due to moves or life changes, which has given me even more hands on experience. I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m open to looking after other kinds of animals as well. I truly love animals and treat them with a lot of care and respect…I won’t even kill a spider, if that gives you a sense of how I am with them. I work mostly remote and do some overnight caregiving on the side. I will have a lot of time between October and mid April as I will not be caregiving in those months! I wish to care for animals at my clients home. So whatever they instruct me to do! I love hiking so I would love to take your dogs on adventures if it is allowed!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having been raised with pets my whole life! I strongly believe in giving them the best care possible. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and attention to detail when it comes to providing the best care for animals. I have a 4-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix that I’ve raised from a puppy and have trained with love and patience, ensuring she has grown into a well-behaved and happy companion. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a senior dog with congestive heart failure (CHF), where I administered around-the-clock medication and provided the special attention needed to ensure their comfort. I understand how important it is to give both young and senior pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart is my compassion and attention to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether it’s providing personalized training or simply offering them the companionship they need when you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, training, or medication management, you can trust that I will give them the highest level of care. I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same quality care I’d give my own pet! As a full-time professional who is new to the area, I have extra time available after my work hours and on weekends. I understand the importance of consistency in pet care and am happy to accommodate your pet's needs around my schedule. I am available before 7 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I offer flexible hours on weekends with prior notice. Whether it's a morning walk, evening playtime, or weekend care, I am committed to providing reliable and loving attention to your pets. I take the safety and well-being of every pet I care for very seriously. While I am unable to keep pets in my own apartment due to strict policies, I am more than happy to provide excellent care in the comfort of your home. I understand the importance of a familiar environment for pets and make sure to create a calm, secure, and loving space for them while you're away. I follow clear instructions for their routines, ensuring they feel at ease and receive the best possible care. Trust is crucial in pet care, and I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. With many years of experience, I offer a reliable, compassionate service, and I make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos. I also respect your home and space, ensuring I leave it just as I found it, clean and orderly, so you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in good hands.

Morgan was absolutely wonderful. We truly appreciate her willingness to drive such a long distance to take care of Bella. She did a great job, was very caring, and made sure everything went smoothly. We are so thankful for her help and would definitely recommend her.
As I’ve said before, Alex is amazing and so respectful! He truly goes above and beyond for Kashmere! He takes great care of her during the drop-ins and she loves him! When she fell iI’ll, he was able to give her two of her medications with ease! He takes some amazing memorable photos and always gives the most informative reports. Will definitely continue to book 😃
Jeanene was absolutely fantastic! I feel like I hit the jackpot cuz she was able to accommodate my cat on such short notice. She was super responsive and a great communicator. It was a huge relief knowing Puff was well cared for while I was away. The peace of mind Jeanene provided was worth it and more. Thank you!!
Shannon took great care of my animals while I was away! Her communication was solid, visits were promt and she kept me updated on how things were going. She made sure all of their daily needs were met, and my pets were happy when I got back. She is reliable and dependable, and I appreciate the care she provided. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
Becky was wonderful to work with! She showed up right on time for the meet and greet with our dog and was very knowledgeable about administering medications. Everything went like clockwork for the appointment and knowing that she was taking care of our pup allowed us to enjoy our evening out. I will not hesitate to contact her again the next time we need help.
Jessie is the ultimate professional: a skilled trainer, compassionate, prepared and protective, kind and considerate, and always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our animals, home, plants, and us humans. Jessie has cared for our pets and house on several occasions now, the most recent being for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. We could rest completely assured that Jessie was on top of whatever happened while we were away (the water being turned off to the house, severe storms!) and that our pets were in the best hands possible. We cannot recommend Jessie highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Asheville is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,050 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Asheville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Asheville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
