“Jorie was exceptional! Truly amazing! We don’t often have to have someone other than family hang with our dog, but we would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Amber was awesome! She was meticulous and took great care of my kitties (and one of them is pretty high maintenance). She was on time and took care of everything that was requested. She even went above and beyond! 10/10 would book again.”
“Allison was great! It was my first experience using Rover and I dont think it could've gone any better. One of my cats is shy, the other likes to fight strangers but they both quickly warmed up to her. She sent me fantastic photos after each visit which warmed up my heart and calmed my anxiety about my babies when I was away. I knew they were getting well-taken care of. I came back to them looking healthy and happy as ever! 10/10 Would book again.”
“Joanna was fantastic, I felt so comfortable on my trip knowing she was taking care of things back home. She gave my girl her meds every day, and got her outside and moving!”
About: I first began caring for animals when I lived with my sister & helped care for her toy poodle, taking it on walks or administering a pill when it had a seizure. She later had 3 dogs & 5 cats at one time to care for! Since then, for other people, I have taken care of as many as 5 dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels), 4 birds & 1 cat at a time! I have had 2 cats of my own a total of 7 years. I have walked dogs & cats (even taking them in a stroller together!), given topical flea meds, oral meds, trimmed nails, given baths, combed & brushed them. I love giving them lots of cuddles & pets (even taking naps with them!), insuring they have clean bowls daily, fresh water / food 2x daily, & whatever amount of treats the owner thinks is good. ;-) I make sure dogs get an adequate number of potty breaks daily to avoid mishaps & to ensure s/he is not uncomfortable from a full bladder. I scoop cat boxes 1x/daily (if non-clumping litter is used) or 2x/daily (if clumping litter is used) & completely clean out the box & change litter 1x/week. When walking dogs, I make sure the harness / collar & leash are secure & I carry waste bags, vinegar spray to discourage other dogs from attacking us (happens more often than you'd think!) &, of course, my cell phone if something serious were to happen, I could phone someone quickly. In a nutshell, I want to be sure that the animals in my care are happy, healthy & safe!! :-) I am currently retired and so my schedule is completely open. I am open to a recurring booking, such as every day or every week. I make sure food is fresh (within the last couple days) & not "crusty" (use a lid) & has no bugs in it. Water should also be clear & have nothing "foreign" in it. At the client's home, I make sure backyard gates are shut before taking dogs out for a potty break. If client permits, I also take that time to "scoop" the yard of previous "droppings" to provide a cleaner place for the dogs & their owners. :-) If taking dogs for a walk, I make sure I have safety gear & my cell phone handy & that their leash/collar/harness is secure. I watch to make sure they don't eat something they're not supposed to. If taking a cat(s) for a walk in a stroller, I make sure it's securely fastened & that the cat(s) would not be able to get out of the stroller. I try to make sure dogs / cats in my care don't play rough with each other or get into a fight. I make sure cats don't climb into places which are unsafe or which would knock over fragile items.
About: We’ve taken care of our own and other’s pets our entire lives — and we know most people want this kind of experience for their pets. Whether at our home or yours, they’ll be just like family to us. I have 5 years experience working and volunteering in animal shelters, making me a great fit for anyone wanting a sitter who knows what they’re doing and is willing to go above and beyond. I am a remote worker, so I’ll be with your pets all day long! Taking care of animals is my passion, so your furry family is my primary focus. Andrew is my husband, and will occasionally help me out! I work with old animals and young, calm animals and ones with their crazy pants on — so any challenge that is thrown, I will be able to handle. Pets are our children, and you can trust me with yours. I am also insured as a pet sitter, so you can have some additional peace of mind.
“Rylee is very kind with animals and does a great job spending time with your pets. She took care of our three cats and all went well. We have one antisocial cat and we chose her because of annother review suggesting she was good so we tried her out. Our cat did warm up to her a bit which was great. She sends pictures and communicates daily.”
“I am grateful Brittney was available to catsit for my two girls while I was away. My cats are always emotionally secure when I return as a result of Brittney taking good care of them and spending time interacting with them. We were very far from home on this trip, having someone who is reliable, trustworthy and the cats like gave me a lot of peace of mind. Booking was easy and communication went well. Love getting those pics when I am far away! Thanks again, Brittney! 😻⭐️😻⭐️🙏🏻”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover, being a dog mom myself! I’ve taken care of dogs for my family, friends, and friends of friends for several years. Tending to every feeding, walk, fetch, cuddles, and dog park run! I work full time as a teacher and am a dog mom myself! I would love to help care for your furry friends on the weekends or in the evenings! I love walking and enjoying time outside with a furry friend to tag along! I have a fenced in backyard for the 3 furry friends in my home as well as a roommate with dog experience! Also experienced in crating if needed!
“Tori made sure our dog got plenty of attention and playtime even with the rain, which really showed how much she cared about making sure he was happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and the extra effort she put in. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”
About: I had the best childhood dog growing up. We loved walks, playing fetch, just hanging out. My passion and love for dogs has helped me become the designated office house sitter. I really have no obligations outside of work and even while working, have flexibility to go home and walk and let animals out for fresh air. Hybrid work model so even have opportunities to work from home. Happy to do whatever is needed. I do tend to spoil animals I watch, but love long walks, fetch, etc. I’ve helped animals that have needed medicine, etc.
About: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years, I’ve always grown up around all types of dogs. I’ve pet sat for many friends and family members. I’ve watched puppies and senior dogs, I have also watched animals who need insulin shots!. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of extra time, i love to work with animals and hopefully looking to turn pet sitting into a full time Job. When I care for pets in clients' homes, I focus on maintaining their routines and providing a stress free environment. This includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also make sure to keep their living areas clean and tidy, and I'm always on the lookout for any changes in behavior or health that might need attention. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away:)
“Elizabeth was excellent with our senior dog! Our dog was very comfortable and well taken care of. She checked in with us and let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend her!”
“Great! This was our first experience with Rover; also we were visiting from out of town. We made arrangements to meet Heather prior to the drop-in visit. Everything went as scheduled; Heather came to our hotel on-time and did the drop-in visit at the time planned (she took and texted photos of our baby outside and her eating dinner). Heather was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her and if we return to the area will book her again with complete confidence.”
About: I've taken care of friends and families' dogs and cats since highschool. Including full house sitting as well as dropping in for quick walks, potty breaks and feeding times. I'm currently working 35-40 hours a week weekdays and I'm off work on weekends. I'll have plenty of time in the evenings and mornings to take care of your pets during the week and I'm very available for them during the weekend "I provide safe care in your home by sticking to your pet's regular schedule. I make sure doors are locked, clean up any messes, and send you daily updates and pictures."
“We had a wonderful experience with Isaac! He watched our three dogs—Cadance, Roman, and Roxi—and took excellent care of all of them. Cadance can be quite the handful (she’s our spoiled little diva), but Isaac was incredibly patient, kind, and professional the entire time. He dropped in twice a day to let them out and made sure they were fed breakfast and dinner. We also really appreciated the daily pictures he sent—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear he truly loves animals and knows how to handle different personalities. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such great hands. Highly recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”

Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 583 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ashville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
