About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.

About: Hi, my name is Mattie! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 8 years and am a true lover of all animals. I have a four year-old German Shepherd that I’ve trained since puppyhood, as well as an orange cat. I’ve completed several dog training programs and have hands-on experience reinforcing positive behaviors, basic commands, and established routines. I always strive to meet each dog’s individual needs and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m happy to accommodate everything from long walks and active playtime to calm companionship, depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am caring, responsible, and hardworking, and I would love to care for your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule right now while I am pursuing a masters degree! Most times I am happy to work with your schedule :) I am happy to accommodate any needs of the pet and am very skilled at working with situations such as leash anxiety, separation anxiety, or high energy dogs.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I can remember. Currently, we have a Great Dane pup, and a Golden retriever. I understand how hard it is to find affordable, trustworthy care for your dogs, (my wife and I both work in education) I am a dependable person, always willing go text or call, send updates, and go the extra mile. Currently, I'm on summer break from school, so this summer I have flexibility. When school Starts, I have mornings and afternoon/evenings to check in on the animals. At my home, my dogs eat three times a day, they are very spoiled with walks, playing outside with my children or each other. When it comes to a client, I'm very dependable, as a veteran, the military is still instilled in my brain, so schedule, communication, and on time are very essential!

Maite was amazing. She posted photos of our Pango and reported back to us if anything did not look right with Pango, he had been limping for a while and she right away reported to us when it was getting worse. We will certainly recommended to anyone.

About: Well I have quite a few experiences with pets, especially dogs… I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where I am the closing lead at. Before the job I work at currently, I had worked at another doggy daycare/boarding facility where it had let me gain the experience I needed to hop into my position at my current job. Also on the side I have pet sat for some friends and family friends… along with all of that I do have my own dog, her name is Goose and she is a rescue! Goose and I have had a long journey of ups and downs dealing with making her more confident in the word, which really sparked an interest in training and rehabilitating dogs. I have yet to get my certifications for training, but they’re coming soon I care for pets on the regular, whether it be at work for 8 hours a couple days a week of at the end of the day with my dog. I care for animals most part of my days, even if I am at my friends house, you will see me attached to their cat/dog I deal with a bunch of pets with a bunch of needs. At work, we have dogs that need medicine at a timely manor or they have specific meals that need to be prepped. So far i’ve dealt with a bunch of specific pet needs, that I feel like I could easily adapt to any new pets.

About: I've been through quite the journey with my own dog and would be happy to provide the same gentle and behavior-informed approach with your animals. I also have a livestock handling background that includes some light veterinary experiences (i.e. administering medication and vaccines) and would be comfortable making sure your pets get the care they need. I work part time with a relatively flexible schedule that would give me time to hang and play with your furry friends at different times throughout the day and week. I could offer pet sitting at my apartment under special circumstances and with advanced notice. Happy to take your dogs out on walks or stay in your home to make sure your pets get the care they need while you may be away. Respectful, neat, and considerate!

About: I have loved all kinds of animals my whole life - from helping frogs cross the road as a child to rehabilitating an abandoned blue Jay as a teenager to rescuing stray dogs as an adult. There is no greater joy in my life than showing love to animals. I have volunteered at local human societies as a caretaker and foster mom. I have two rescue pitbulls of my own that thrive on our farmstead. My most recent professional work with animals has been a three-year employment with a boarding kennel as a pet caretaker where we played with pets, groomed them, walked the dogs, cleaned up messes, and administered medication, along with many other duties. In my current career, I work with troubled youth in outdoor education. I am moving towards becoming a full-time farmstead though, and would love to make additional income pouring love and attention to your beloved animals. Looking forward to meeting you and your loved ones! Rover will be my part-time job as I move my farmstead forward with my husband. We are working on creating an area for a fun and stimulating dog daycare that includes 2 acres of grassy fenced-in yard and a pond. I would like to establish recurring clients each week on a Tuesday/Thursday or Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule. I will be available in the Marshall area starting in July 2023. I can meet with you before this date for a meet and greet. I will always put your pet's needs first. I am skilled at administering medications and have been trained in Canine CPR and choking. In addition, I'm a certified Wilderness First Responder and a skilled hiker - so I can take your dog for a hike as well! My typical visit would include cleaning up any messes, showering your pet with love, administering medications, and playing/walking them. We can customize any visit based on what you and your pet need.

I would love to continue an active lifestyle so what's better than meeting new furry friends!? I am really excited for this new opportunity to work with you!

I have weekends free and after 5 PM on weekdays to check in or go for walks too! I assure safety and trust when it comes to caring for your pet at your home. A way I provide this service is by taking photos and creating active communication with clients.

About: Your dog will be happy and well taken care of with me around. Being a lover and active outdoorsman, dogs get plenty of exercise with me around. I am quite happy to spend hours taking dogs on long hikes. I am an early riser, so dogs don't have to wait around for me to get out of bed. I like to get going with a good walk, then explore an area I am staying, so it is best if dog can do okay alone for 3 or 4 hours, but I am willing to discuss this, and then I am usually content to spend most of the evening home. I have done over 140 pet sits in other people's homes and can't wait to do many more and meet some great dogs. I will be in the Canyon Lake/New Braunfels, Texas area until November 28 and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits, but not overnight stays. Starting November 28, I will be available for overnight sits until December 22. Because it is starting to get hot, I prefer early morning and early evening walks. If I am in the mountains, however, I am open to taking dogs on longer hikes. I prefer sits where dogs are okay to be left alone for 4-6 hours.

About: I have always been very passionate about animals and grew up caring for them anyway I could. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including rehabilitating wildlife. I regularly care for family pets when they are out of town and really do enjoy spending time with the animals. I have fostered both cats and dogs through AHS, and brother wolf which gave me experience with medical care, administrating medicine, and being able to handle animals with different needs and personalities. I am very committed to being able to give your pets a comfortable and safe environment while with me. I currently work part time so I have lots of time for the animals! I have my own pets at home so I have a general understanding of what is needed and I have cared for a variety of pets. I do prefer to board at clients homes, where animals are in their own homes and more likely to be comfortable. When in a clients home, I absolutely treat the space and pets as if it was my own. As a pet owner myself, I know how it is always worrying about if your pets are safe and being cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind by by providing reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while caring for your home. I am always happy to communicate, give updates, and answer any questions so please feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more!

About: I have had a multitude of animals since I was young, which has led to many years of experience. I currently have a pet cat and dog. I’m a very active person and love going out in nature for walks and requests for longer walks beyond the 30 minute allotment are definitely welcome! I would love to build a strong relationship with the pets and owners I interact with to help build my experience even more and make your pets comfortable with a familiar face. I have a dog of my own that I walk and I’m a stay at home mom, which allows my schedule to be relatively open. In my clients home I will make sure the pet’s needs are met 100%. This includes making sure they have plenty of water, food and have had an adequate potty break. I will also play with the pet as long as their owner is okay with that.

About: My family has owned dogs since before I can remember, and I’ve always loved playing with them and petting them. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken care of many of my family’s and friend’s pets, and it’s usually easy for me to build a friendly relationship with animals. I have taken care of several senior dogs who needed help getting around. I’m working part time, and I’m looking to spend some of my extra time playing, walking, and giving attention to other dogs in the area. I’m available Sunday - Monday all day. Friday and Saturday evenings, I’m also free. Tuesdays I’m free at night, Wednesdays I’m free in the morning, and Thursday can be free depending on the week. I give each pet individual attention and care. Treats, toys, the whole nine yards. While I can’t watch pets in my own home, I’m happy to do whatever you think is necessary for your pet to have an easy and happy time while you’re out of town or busy.

Isabel took great care of Chai, and I could see from all of the pictures that Chai was thoroughly enjoying Isabel's company! Isabel was very consistent, prompt, communicative, and sent plenty of photos for updates. Everything was left very clean as well. I would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Barnardsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Barnardsville 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!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Barnardsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barnardsville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
