About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and cared for them for the last 4 years. I am 19 years old and extremely active, I love runs and long walks and playing with all types of pets. I’m responsible and will take very good care of your pets. Im currently working part time and have plenty of time to check in and stay over to care for pets. I work some nights and am usually back home before 8. I live and work by two simple rules, treat your house as if it were my own and to leave everything better than I found it.

“My dogs loved their lengthy walk with Thomas today. He also gave them plenty of time for potty breaks & pets along the way. I appreciate how reliable he is & all of the communication + photos. I highly recommend him to care for your fur babies too!”

About: I can handle any dog (or cat!) big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, counter surfers, etc. I have 8 years of pet and house sitting experience, as well as 8 years with my adorable pittie, Mushu. I’m able to cater to a wide variety of pet needs, and I’m level-headed and competent in emergencies. I’m a college student with a pretty spread out schedule, so I never have more that 3 hours blocked out at a time. Most of all, I love playing with furry friends - and I’m quite adept with a frisbee. I’m a student, so my schedule is fixed but leaves plenty of time for some W-A-L-K action. Daily Availability: 8:30AM-9:30AM 12:00PM-1:00PM 4:00PM-8:30PM Additional Availability: Monday, Wednesday: 1:00PM-2:30PM Tuesday, Thursday: 2:30PM-4:00PM Friday: 1:00PM-4:00PM Weekends: All Day I have experience house and pet sitting for 6 different families. I always make sure to leave with laundry done and everything very clean, and I can take care of household tasks (watering plants, taking in mail, etc.). I have a car that is welcome to all varieties of furry friends, in case of a requested dog park visit or an emergency. I’m great at keeping routines in place and making sure that nothing is out of the ordinary while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, walks, scritches, treats, and playtime!

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

About: Need someone to Love and spoil your pet while you’re busy or on vacation? I love getting to hang out with fur babies and making sure they get all the attention they need. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. I do work elsewhere but am great at planning and organizing a schedule to make things work as often as possible. I am very flexible with special requests and understand that dogs are not just animals but part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. I’ll be glad to answer any questions you may have for me!

About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.

About: I have experience caring for goats, chickens, horses, hamsters, fish, dogs and cats. I love meeting new animals and providing whatever type of care they need. I currently work at a restaurant Thursday through Sunday but should be able to provide care every few hours around my shifts on those days. Monday through Wednesday, I am free all day except for a few hours on Tuesday evening. I make sure to follow the safety instructions provided by the owner while also keeping the environment fun and comfortable for the pet. Very open to playful animals!

About: I have two cats and a dog who mean the world to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I would treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school full time, which has strengthened my responsibility, patience, and compassion when caring for others. While my weekdays are busy with classes and studying, I’m available for evening and weekend pet care and would love to spend that time giving your pets the attention, comfort, and love they deserve. In my home or my client’s home, I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I’m mindful of any specific instructions from the owner, including medications, special diets, or behavioral needs. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have a calm and stress-free environment, and give lots of reassurance so they feel at ease while their owner is away.

About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am 53 and semi-retired. I drive for Uber to fill some of my time. I have cared for animals all of my life, starting with a farm when I was little. My first dog was named Tandy and my first cat was Tasha. I have been a fur baby mamma, pretty much always, as well as a sitter for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, kittens and senior animals. I recently moved to Asheville and into a place that doesn’t allow pets. I miss having a fur baby, so it would be an honor to care for yours. I have a very open schedule. I drive for Uber part time, and other than that I like to fill my days with hiking, walking, pickleball and yoga. I would love to have a furry friend come along on my adventures! I am unable to bring pets into my rental home. I will travel to your home and stay overnight with your pet, and I will treat both with love, care and respect. I will make sure to follow feeding, potty and walking schedules closely. I will also ask about favorite games and comfort toys and routines. I will send pictures and a recap of the day. I want you, and your pet, to feel comfortable and safe.

Lilac has warmth and delightful energy! Our Cavalier Teddy just adores her and we appreciated the extra attention to his special needs. We knew Teddy was in the best hands with Lilac and that gave us the peace of mind we needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Black Mountain on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per walk. walkers 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 of October 2026, there are 982 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Black Mountain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Black Mountain. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Black Mountain after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Black Mountain. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
