“Amy is always up for anything you need done and quick to stay in touch! She's once again saved our weekend, and extra props for doing so during Helene and having to work our generator. Thank you so much Amy, would be a missed opportunity to not book you ❤️”
“Becca did a fantastic job watching our senior dog, Jamie, while we took a 9-day family trip. She gave us daily updates, expertly maintained Jamie’s normal routines, and gave her plenty of attention. When we returned, Jamie wasn’t showing any of the signs of stress she normally displays when we have been away.”
“Natasha was amazing with our senior pup! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and updates during our trip. I would highly recommend her as your next pet sitter!”
“She is awesome!! Our dogs love her on the first meet and greet. She stayed in our home and it was better then when we left it. We will definitely have her pet sit our 4 legged girls!”
“We needed a sitter to watch our dog, Bernie, during our wedding weekend. Bernie is reactive, doesn't trust many people, and has only stayed with a select few trusted people in the past (who were all at our wedding), but he LOVES Megan. She went out of her way to understand and accommodate his reactivity, and came a few times before the day to make sure he was comfortable. We got photos throughout her stay of all the play sessions, cuddles and walks Bernie enjoyed- which assured us he was not only well taken care of, but having a great time. Megan is also an all around great human. When our original wedding was cancelled due to Hurricane Helene and we couldn't get in contact with anyone, Megan came to our house to make sure we didn't still need a sitter. I have a severe food allergy that requires we don't bring gluten in the house, and she was respectful and cognizant throughout her stay. If you need a sitter for your pet, I would 1000% recommend Megan. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Hannah was an excellent sitter and I recommend her very highly. My two dogs got nice walks and their meds were administered properly. They were clearly happy with her company. She also left the house shipshape and remade the bed with fresh sheets. She kept me updated and was very organized. I couldn't have asked for more.”
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: I have veterinarian assistant background, and can administer medications. I have been dog sitting for 9 years. I am active and will be engaging with your pets constantly. my schedule fits perfect for dog sitting and dog walking. I will take care of your pets as they are my own. I hope you’ll consider me for your pets needs. I am currently working part time and would love to use my extra time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule, and your pets needs come first. Giving your pets love, playtime, and exercise. If your pets have special needs to meet those needs for them. Cleaning up after your animals and always making sure their needs are taken care of.
“It was such a relief knowing that our three cats were in good hands while we were out of town. Kristen followed all of our requests, shared photos with us, and let us know that all was well - and when we returned to the house, the cats were calm, well-fed, and anxiety-free. The water bowls had been filled, the litter boxes cleaned, the food bowls washed, the cat door closed and locked - all of our instructions had been followed and the house was organized and clean. Kristen even met with us beforehand to meet the cats and review all of the instructions - she was friendly and positive. We definitely recommend her!”
“Olivia took care of our dog for a few nights and was very communicative while we were away! She also took great care of our home and made our pup feel so loved in our absence! Also took him on lots of walks for us! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been sitting dogs at my Florida home for many years. I moved to Asheville two years ago for work and now I’m mostly retired. I live in North Asheville in a small apartment and available to house and pet sit. Having boarded dogs in my own house for many years you can bet I will give your home utmost respect and your pets the best care and companionship. I’m mostly looking for one week plus sitting jobs, give or take. I can sit most locations from Weaverville down to Hendersonville Walk dogs. Play with the dogs and cats and keep them content. And hang out on watch lots of TV together. Since I’m mostly retired I have lots of free time to spend with the pets. All instructions by owner for their pet care will be closely followed and respected. I’m sensitive about pets food needs and won’t feed them human food or let them up on the furniture if not allowed. Cat litter boxes will be cleaned daily. Longer stays will include brushing and baths for the dogs.
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”
“Another fantastic experience with Beth watching our house and 2 kitties! She’s definitely our go-to person for overnight pet sits when we’re out of town, would highly recommend her services to anyone with a pet sitting need. Thanks again!”
“When I met Skye for our meet and greet, I knew right away Skye was going to be a great fit! Skye took care of our 3 doggies at our home and spent the night. Skye sent plenty of updates and pictures and was so very patient, (and extremely understanding) of one of our dog's shy/nervous personality. I am very selective with who I would allow to, not only come into my home, but to care for my fur-babies. Skye is top notch---trustworthy and so very kind! I will definitely book again!”
“Kathy is the best! I picked her due to her lengthy good reviews, and just add mine to the long list! She was courteous and professional the entire time when it came to me and our home. She was playful and fun when it came to sitting our 3 German Shepard babies! She took care of them day and night for an entire month. Including making sure they got their individual medicines and cuddle times. She enforced the rules for the pups ( rooms, furniture etc) and handled a non working appliance and lawn ppl coming and going like a pro! Not to mention all the updates and pics she routinely sent me! I couldn’t have wished for anyone better! Thank you so much Kathy!!!!”
“Laura was wonderful with our dog and 2 cats! Luca is very large and still a puppy, so, it’s not always easy with that combination! Laura was patient and kind! Would definitely like to use her again!”
“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
“Taylor was great. The dogs loved her and she did all we asked with regards to their care. And my wife really appreciated the pics and updates she sent. We will definitely call her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flat Creek
Hannah is awesome! We are so grateful that we found someone who is good with both our dogs and our cats. We have two elderly dogs and she gives them all the special care and attention that they need. She is very thorough. I really appreciate that she communicates clearly and always sends pictures and updates. Our house is always clean and tidy when we return. So grateful for Hannah and Danny!
Our former and loved dog sitter is no longer in business. It's always a little scary starting with someone new. Kay is now our favorite dog sitter! She did a great job with all three of our animals plus I came home to the dog food container refilled, clean cat bowls, and more. We are already making plans for a future trip and Kay is our first stop!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kate is a rockstar! We left Kate in charge of our very complicated farm crew: two giant livestock guardian dogs (like “personal security detail” but fluffier), goats, chickens, a working barn cat, a porch cat, and the “orange boys” (our food-motivated indoor/outdoor cats). She handled it all like an absolute pro. We’ve had pet sitters before, but Kate is next level; a true Animal Whisperer. From the start, she was organized, asked all the right questions, and really took the time to understand how our place works. While we were gone, she kept us updated with sweet photo messages and little notes about everyone’s day. She managed to charm our big intimidating dogs and convince a broody chicken to give up her eggs (no surprise chicks for us, thanks to Kate!). When we came home, the animals were happy, the house was spotless, and it honestly looked like no one had even stayed here. Our critters were all clearly smitten. Kate is kind, capable, and genuinely great with animals. Highly recommend her to anyone… unless you were hoping to hire her the same week we need her again. 😉

FAQs for House Sitting - Flat Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Flat Creek on Rover is $81.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 640 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flat Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Flat Creek 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 Flat Creek 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.
Tip: 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 Flat Creek 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Flat Creek. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
