“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: Throughout my experience caring for animals, I’ve been responsible for a variety of daily pet-care needs, including feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning food and water bowls, maintaining clean living areas, giving pets attention and companionship, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. For cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and keeping them on their normal routines. For smaller pets like hamsters, I can provide food, fresh water, and habitat cleaning. I also have experience caring for fish, including feeding and maintaining a clean environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine so I can recognize when something seems unusual. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m comfortable working around a pets established routine and making sure they receive consistent meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and attention. In a clients home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their environment clean and safe. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well while you’re away.
“What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.”

About: I provide pet care with a genuine focus on safety, structure, compassion and comfort. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel secure, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, but senior pups have my heart. One thing my clients like is how connected they feel while they're away. I take lots of photos and videos throughout the day and send daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority, and I make sure you feel just as supported as they do. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for and return back to you happy, relaxed and well cared for. I recently left my position as a General Manager to pursue my love for animals full-time, which means pet care is now the center of my daily routine. I structure my days around the pet's I'm caring for, making sure they get consistent walks, playtime, feedings and lots of snuggles. I am able to be flexible, responsive, and fully present with every pet in my care. Your pet will always have my time, my patience and my full commitment. My care is always tailored to each family’s needs and each pet’s personality. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your established routines—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any specific training or comfort needs. If you have a fenced-in yard, I ensure your pet gets safe outdoor time. If leash walking is required, I provide structured, attentive walks based on your pet’s energy level. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, country setting with a large, open yard. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, safety is always my priority. Until I fully know and trust your pet’s recall, behavior, and comfort level, all outdoor time will be done on leash. Once I understand their temperament and you are comfortable, we can adjust as appropriate. No matter the environment, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and truly cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, having grown up with dogs and cats in the country. I provide compassionate care for senior pets. My joyful, hardworking, and caring nature for animals ensures each pet receives the personalized attention and love they deserve. I am a flexible and reliable pet sitter available anytime with advance notice. Ready to provide loving, attentive care for your pets whenever you need! I provide attentive care in my clients' homes. For outdoor time, I use a leash to ensure safety and proper exercise. Your pets will receive personalized attention, love, and regular activity.
“We are so grateful that Anahita was able to help us with Boomer, even though it was a little last minute. She was very attentive and responsive. Very lucky to have her close by!!”

“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”


About: Hello! My name is Kaylee, I am 23 years old and my biggest personality trait is my love for animals. If you were to ask someone who knows me, they may say “that girl with the zoo? I currently have 5 pets, who I consider my children, and that is the least amount of animals I have ever owned at once. (Only due to apartment living.) Caring for animals is my comfort and passion, it truly brings me joy. I have never lived a day without pets- and I don’t want to, so, I focused my career around them. However, I’m still in search of more! I am currently a manager at a dog boarding facility part time, and I love my job, but I would love to find more local work. At my facility, I am currently managing multiple groups of up to 20 free ranged dogs at a time. I have worked with nearly every dog breed out there, and I have loved them all. I have experience in handling many medical conditions in dogs, such as anxiety, allergies, seizures, joint issues, diabetes, asthma, and many more. I also have experience in administering a multitude of medications, including inhalers and insulin. I am currently working part time, and my work days are typically the same each week. I am unavailable on my work days during hours 4 AM- 3 PM, but I would love to work with you any other time! The approach I take to care for a pet depends on the pets temperament and needs. As I have probably met over 2,000 dogs at this point- I understand that each dog is different. Some may want constant affection, and I’m more than happy to give that! However, I know that some pets appreciate their space, or need to be taken slowly with.

“Day was truly a blessing! She took such great care of my senior dog Zeus and my home while I was away. I appreciated her communication and all of the photos she sent. So grateful I found her!”

“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
