“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We just picked up our pup from a weeklong stay with Katie and Jeremy, and judging by her level of exhaustion, she had a great time. 😊 This was her second stay with them and we now have an even greater level of comfort knowing she is well cared for in this home. Frequent photos and text messages from Katie and Jeremy were greatly appreciated. And we loved that toward the end of her stay , she had a companion dog to chase in the backyard. They clearly both had a great time. Thank you, Katie and Jeremy for your excellent care for Maggie. We have another trip planned in spring of next year and will be in touch to schedule boarding for that one too. We highly recommend this home for short or extended stays. A++ pet sitters!!”
“My dog had a great time with Sarah and her family. He was well-cared for, got along with their dog, and got lots of exercise and attention. It was a great experience and I appreciated the pictures she sent!”
“Fiona was the most relaxed she has ever been on pick up from a sitter so I know she was well taken care of . Terri was very prompt in answering messages . If we are ever in Asheville again I sure know who to request if we need a sitter . I highly recommend Terri .”
“This is the second time Lilly has stayed with Caroline. She did a great job with communicating & sending pictures so we knew Lilly was comfortable & doing well. Would definitely have her sit Lilly again!”
“Buddy had the best time with Kyle and her pup, Louie. They were all fast friends. Kyle was flexible and communicative before and during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Carlina was amazing with our Sugar while we went on vacation. She provided lots of pictures and videos which was very heart warming and appreciated. Her communication is the best. Would recommend over and over again.”
“Toni is fantastic. She went over and above to make sure that our senior dog had the best care - giving her meds and lots of extra snuggles. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend Toni!”
“Nola had a great vacation with Katie, Preston, and their furry family. She was loved and cared for and even had a bath! I will definitely book a stay for Nola with this wonderful family again.”
“Laura was AMAZING. She watched my girl overnight while I was out of town. Great communication, sent me lots of pics and updates and my dog had a great time! Her dog was a good play mate and her fenced in yard must have been a blast. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
“Joseph and Andrea were just the best. They welcomed my Thor into their home and took awesome care of him. Joseph sent me pics and updates to reassure me that Thor was having a great time. I could not have asked for a better place or people for Thor and I will definitely rebook with them in the future. I 100% recommend them as a safe place and loving environment for your pet.”
“Great Experience! While watching my puppy over the weekend they provided consistent updates the entire time. I really appreciated the regular photos and messages that gave a peace of mind knowing my puppy was doing well while I was away. My puppy also got a ton of playtime and attention!”
About: Grew up with dogs, speak their language. I’m patient and active and just want them to be the happiest doggo they can be! Flexible schedule and am willing to build a relationship with your dog for next time you go out of town. My large fenced in yard rocks too! If you are comfortable with me doing outings with your doggo, I have a handful of trails I visit daily. Let me know their routine and ways to have fun and I got you! They are our fur babies and should be treated as such. I’m confident your pooch and I will be good buds by the time you get back :) Walk in the morning, work from home during the day so multiple potty breaks in the yard, and a longer walk in the afternoon. Breakfast and dinner consistently around 9:30 and 6:30. Weekends are for adventures! I make sure each dog has their set up with familiar foods and scents and toys. There is defined potty time, walking, playtime, and downtime so each dog gets 1:1 attention.
“Miranda took excellent care of our Labrador while we were out of town for 5 days. She sent photos and videos everyday. I could tell she loves dogs and cares about their health and happiness. It was a relief leaving our dog knowing she was in good hands!”
“Sarah is the BEST sitter I have come across thus far. She kept me informed on how my Rock was doing from his morning walks to his evening routine and good nights. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“Kinsey was AMAZING SPECTACULAR SO WONDERFUL on our wedding weekend. She was so gracious and flexible, hosting not just our dog but, at various points, both our officiant's dog and our neighbor's dog as well (they all know each other and we cleared it in advance). She was communicative and kind, shared all kinds of fun photos and updates and even ferried our pup to and from our venue so he could participate in our ceremony!! She and her family will always hold a special place in our hearts for our special day and we can't recommend her enough.”
“Sharon was amazing! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating and Willie had a great time going on hikes and playing with her pup. She went the extra mile and we couldn't recommend her any more.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Enka
Allison was wonderful with our rescue pups that need a special touch. She worked with us on intros and was really tuned in to their personalities and needs. While we were gone, we got regular daily updates/photos and they came back healthy and happy. Would 100% recommend and will for sure book again! Thank you Allison & Jackson for sharing your home with our buds.
Max was absolutely amazing with Elton and Romeo! We could tell our boys had the best time because they were completely worn out on the ride home from Asheville. Max had the perfect setup for them, and it was clear from the regular updates and pictures he sent that they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Max and would love to have him watch our boys again!
Sonya Lyn was fantastic with Daisy. I will definitely be calling her the next time I need someone to care for my dog. She's very bubbly and you can tell how much she loves dogs. She's comfortable caring for them and knows how to accommodate each unique personality. She took Daisy on long trail walks that she loved! Sonya Lyn sends great photos too, so you can be sure your pup is doing well and in good care. Thank you Sonya Lyn!
We love Kali. River had the best time and I was able to focus on my business trip without worrying about him because I knew he was in such great hands. We just moved to the area and it took a while for me to find someone I felt comfortable leaving him with. We are so grateful to have found Kali, and we will definitely be using her a lot in the future. I highly recommend her.
Lizzie was super responsive and gave us updates frequently! She has a huge yard for the dogs to sniff around in and gives them walks that they are used to! I felt good with Frankie being at Lizzie’s while we were on vacation and will definitely book with Lizzie again when needed! Thanks so much Lizzie!
Paul & family were great! We needed a sitter for Gator on short notice, and he was so attentive and caring. He kept us updated throughout and made sure Gator was comfortable and having a good time. We really appreciated the communication and knowing Gator was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Paul!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Enka home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Enka.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Enka sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
