About: I just lost my dog of 12 years. I'm not ready for another yet. Until I would l to help you with extra love for yours! ♡ I work 7 to 5, Monday through Friday. 10 HOURS PER DAY, I MAY NOT be a good fit everyone on weekdays! However, I would be available to help you with walking from 5pm to 7pm on weekdays, and we could talk about weekends! I live in downtown Hendersonville and do the Ecusta Trail quite often, if you are near I would love to help! I would prefer to come to your home to help with your dog! But if we vibe well, I have a home set up for a dog, with a fenced in yard and a doggie door!
“Denisse did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies while I was away. I hate leaving my girls but knowing They were in such great hands with Denisse allowed me to enjoy my mini vacation. She followed instructions, notified me of any issues and left great notes on each River card. I highly recommend booking with Denisse!!!!”
“Alexis is a life saver, she filled a last minute request to watch my cat, Blair. I really appreciate her quick communication as well as the level of detail she provides in her updates. Blair was really well cared for and I will 100% be using Alexis again. I highly recommend her.”
“Mara provided exceptional care for our 2 dogs and keep us updated with pictures and pertinent details! She also was able to assist us with short notice. We highly recommend Mara and will definitely look into booking her again. Thanks Mara and have a great day! 😁”
About: As a person who has been the primary care taker of my pets since I was 8, I know the right way to take care of animals and know how hard it can be to find quality care for our furry friends. With 2 cats of my own and with several previously owned dogs, I know I can provide excellent care to all kinds of animals! I also have a Veterinary Assisting degree, so also being able to alert owners of any health issues to be wary of is something I take seriously! Pet care is a daily task, as such I am able to do daily walks and be able to do other care tasks throughout the day so that your pet feels enriched and loved even when you’re away. I understand dog behavior to a good degree as I studied it while in school to earn my degree, so being able to safely walk a dog even if they are reactive is something I feel comfortable with.
“Everything you want in a pet sitter. Excellent quick communication, sincere attention and love for your fur babies, and Safety and Security knowing that she is the best caretaker with her Veterinary background”
About: I’m a nurse who works from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I have a plenty of time to prioritize your pets. I know how much peace of mind it brings to have a reliable person nearby, and I treat every animal I visit like family. I’m completely comfortable with senior pets, pets with unique temperaments, following specific feeding routines, or administering medications (including injections) if needed. You can relax knowing your pets are safe and getting all the attention they need. Whether your pet needs a mid-day walking buddy or just a calm presence to hang out with during the workday, I’m happy to step in and help. I do not offer overnights at this time, but can arrange several drop ins throughout the day if you're out of town. I have a shepherd mix and two cats at home. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to spend caring for animals! I am available for drop ins, walks, and longer daycare sessions in your home. I place safety first when caring for dogs and will always follow your routine and care instructions. I have experience with reactive pups and am comfortable caring for and walking dogs of all temperaments, given proper safety measurements are implemented (such as walking dogs separately when needed).
About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.
About: Lifelong pet owner and animal intuitive. I have worked with all types of pets providing assistance with special care in addition to walks and general care. Care only provided in your home. At this time I do not have a pet companion but miss them dearly. Once I have an established routine in the area I will be in search of another furry walking companion. I am relocating back to the WNC / Landrum area after being a nomad for 5 years. I am available throughout the Saluda, Hendersonville and Landrum area and am doing human caregiving throughout the WNC area. If your dog agrees I am open to taking them on local hikes. Pet care in your home only; I have worked as a house sitter/pet sitter in NC for several years in addition to personal caregiver for 15+ years.
“Louise took great care of my kitties! She came each day, gave them outside time on the deck, and left my kitchen spotless. She rinsed the food tins out and put them in the recycling. She also found my broom and swept around the litter boxes. I didn't expect either of these, and I appreciated the extra effort. I had peace of mind as I traveled, knowing she was visiting them daily, giving them pets and love.”
About: I will care your pets like a family. I will give them the attention and care they need, my family , neighbors ,relatives and friends trusted me with their pets . I’m currently working full time, but I also work from home ... so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup’s I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fence yard and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a pup to accompany your dog and to play with.
“I actually thought I had already left one. But I’ll definitely reply again. Lindsey was very good with all the kitties. Finally was able to get the kitten to lose some of his shyness. She was always timely and sent pics of them in their spaces. I’d definitely like to use her again.”
“Claire is very responsive and easy to work with. My request was last minute and she still managed and requested a get to know quick appointment prior to the days of dog walking /drop visits. She followed every request and favor for the doggies. She is someone I trust giving access to my place without me being there. Thank you Claire!”
“I have a very anxious Aussie who gets very out of sorts when his herd of humans are away. From our initial meet and greet with Erika, I could see that her laid back and trusting energy provided my pup with the reassurance he needed. I was very happy with how the first visit went and plan to hire her again!”
“Ava was fantastic! She came out the day before to meet our dog and was very professional and engaging with him. She was here for three drop ins to look after our aging dog and did a great job. We would use her again and know he will be well cared for.”
“Reiley was fantastic with our four pups for a short trip away! Great communication and photos at each visit. We hope she’ll come back to care for them again soon! ?? Thanks, Reiley!!”
About: I have two dogs and one cat who run my life! I love all types of animals! I love to go on walks often. I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 16 years old. It ranged from neighbors, friends, and people who recommended me to others. And I am easy to get in touch with. I love taking pictures animals being cute and will send them often! I will be available on weekdays to care for your animals. I have two dogs of my own and base a lot of my time around them. I have a big yard to keep the dogs safe and playing! I love to take hikes around DuPont and walks on the greenway. We have two dogs and a cat so navigating multiple pets is second nature.
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life (30+ yrs). I currently have a 13 year old black lab and a 12 year old cat. I trained my dog to run with me when I mountain bike, and she's now "retired". I am currently on sabbatical from a 13 year career in physical therapy. I also manage my own airbnb including guests with dogs. I'm currently writing a book and have time to walk pets and house sit and am accepting new clients. I'm happy to take on multiple pets at once if convenient for all parties. I can provide walks and medicine with or without my own dog present. I'm also available to bring pets to scheduled vet appointments including acupuncture.

Abigail is great! She shows up early/on time. She is respectful and kind. She takes time to make sure your pet is well loved on and happy. She follows all directions and is very responsive. She takes great photos and leaves detailed updates. My dog loves her. It was nice to be away and know my baby was taken care of.
Cate was amazing! She was so willing to listen and learn about Dennis at our meet n greet. She took great pictures and left a great summary of how the drop in visit went. We will definitely ask her to drop in on Dennis again. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in her care and having her in our home.
This is the second time Kristen has checked in on our fur babes, this time the dog too. All three are very happy and safe. Kristen asks great questions during the meet n greets and makes sure the animals are well taken care of according to any guidelines you share. She’s always sure to give them extra love too!
We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Michael’s care while we did a day trip out of town. The visits to our dog were right on time and we loved seeing the photos. Michael even brought our pet food delivery in from the front porch. We will definitely use Michael’s services 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 Etowah 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 Etowah 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 .

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

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.
