“Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.”
About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!
“Molly house sat for my fearful puppy (4 y/o). She was on time, communicated well before, during and after her stay and left no trace behind. I am grateful I booked with Molly and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Tori has sat for our lab Max several times and we always look forward to her help! She is quick, communicative, sends such nice photos and Max is always SO happy. Thanks Tori!”
“Caitlin took amazing care of our cats and dogs while we were away for the week! She gave extra attention and love to our reactive and anxious dog, and took special care of our senior kitty and helped them both feel comfortable while we were away. She followed the instructions we left for medicine and special care and updated us every day on how everyone was doing. We would definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Ella is an incredible Pet Sitter! She is conscientious, attentive, and really, really good with animals. She was very responsive to all of my texts. My dog was recovering from surgery and she administered all medications and was careful with stairs, running, and jumping. I enjoyed my vacation because I didn’t have to worry about the care of my pet while I was gone. Thank you, Ella for a great job!”
“Gabrielle did a wonderful job watching my my dog Henry and kept me up to date with messages and photos. Henry also seemed super happy and was very relaxed upon my return home which means he had great care and company. I would definitely recommend Gabrielle.”
“Camille was an angel taking care of our babies! She was in constant communication with us and sent tons of photos and videos!! She left the home even cleaner than the way we left it and are so thankful for her. We hope to use her again in the future, our dogs love Camille!!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to specific feeding schedules, long walks, crate training, senior care, and puppy routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect: • Plenty of exercise and playtime • Consistent routines • Clean food and water bowls • Lots of affection and attention • Regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I communicate clearly and promptly so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. I’m currently working part time and am available for drop ins, walks and cuddles Thursday - Sundays - I am happy to overnight board as well I have a fenced yard with 3 acres and beautiful country roads for strolling and spending quality time with your pup - we currently do not have pets
About: I'm passionate about providing loving, reliable care for your furry family members. With extensive pet experience, I understand that every animal has unique needs and can accommodate to their nature. I am currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is very open and flexible and I am looking to be more active in pockets of my free time. I look forward to cater to your needs. Personally in my home, my dog has the house to himself. But I value whichever approach you follow for your comfort and pet's safety and will comply with instruction.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training, leash walking, administering medication, and following detailed feeding or care routines. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including providing gentle mobility support, monitoring health changes, and maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress. Above all, I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work during the day and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, which allows me to provide evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also available on weekends with flexible scheduling for longer visits, overnight stays, or extended care when needed. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention and maintain consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I make sure doors and gates are secured, maintain a clean space, and always supervise pets during walks, feeding, and playtime. At my home, I have a Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and safe introductions. Above all, I focus on building trust through consistency, clear communication with owners, and treating every pet with patience and respect.
“Keyaira is fantastic! My dogs were so happy when we returned home and they are not easy to keep. (One of my dogs is neurotic!) Will only hire Keyaira from now on and have recommended her to many people.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. We have always had a pet for as long as I can remember. I love animals. I have taken care of puppies to senior animals. I have plenty of free time, so I would be able to keep your fur baby company anytime needed and give them lots of not only play time but affection. I have a fenced in yard and three fur babies to keep yours company! I can easily crate your pet if need be. Fun and loving environment.
About: Pets are like family to me! I do not have any formal pet care experience on Rover, but I have been helping take care of animals my whole life. My family has cared for several pets and I have pet sat several times for friends and other family members. I care deeply about the individual needs of every animal and want them to feel safe, respected, and have a fun time while in my care. I can provide hourly photo updates of your pet to keep you updated on the activities we are doing together! I have a pretty flexible schedule that may slightly vary depending on other weekly priorities. Feel free to reach out with any time and day and I can get back to you with my availability! I can adhere to the safety of your pets as needed. Pets under my care will be watched closely and client preferences of crating or other needs will be honored.

I am really grateful I had someone I trusted with my pup. She is intelligent and professional . She left the house spotless, I don’t think she ate anything, next time I will ask her what she likes. She walked Nikki and sent me pictures. My pup loved her. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashville. 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 Ashville 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 Ashville 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 Ashville 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 Ashville. On Rover:

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.
