“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! 😁”
“Elizabeth was such a delight and godsend for us. She was very attentive to the needs of the pets, and showed care like they were her own. She is patient, and goes above and beyond with communication. We are very happy with finding her, definitely recommend her, and will be using her again. Welcoming someone into your home is always a bit anxiety inducing, but she made us feel very comfortable and confident to leave our precious animals in her care.”
“Gwynn is an outstanding sitter! We feel so grateful to have found her. It’s obvious that she’s a true animal lover and our pets adore her. We trust her to take wonderful care of them and we so appreciate her. She always goes above and beyond, and gives us peace of mind, knowing how well our furfam is being cared for. We can relax and enjoy our trip - what a priceless gift she is! Thanks so much, Gwynn, for being amazing ??”
About: I’m not just someone who pauses to care for your pet; my love for animals goes beyond measure. I’m committed to ensuring that the time I spend with them exceeds all expectations. I’m a graphic designer - most work I do is from home. So my schedule is very flexible and on the go! I can work and sit in while watching your animal! 😀 I have a dog myself - she is hardly ever caged and is trained to stay out and behave accordingly. She is very energetic. But LOVES people and other animals.
“I am so blessed to have Abigail!!! Harley and Dozer love her and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She is the absolute best! Even when a tree falls near my house and short circuits wires, Abigail fixed all my beeping smoke detectors so Harley wasn’t scared. If you live anywhere near Asheville, Arden, Mills River, or Hendersonville… you need to use Abigail!!”
“Francesca did an incredible job with my two cats. Each day I was provided with an extremely detailed update of how each of them were and what was completed on their behalf (food, water, litter, play). Francesca even brought our packages in and fed our local birds. If you want to leave your pet knowing they’re happy, safe, and well-fed, booking with Francesca is your best bet!”
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.
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.
About: Growing up with cats, I knew I wanted to be a dog person. I have rescued two dogs, both of which like to shadow us. I work from home next to an open doggy door all day. Our guests have access to a large fenced in yard, the opportunity to have some quiet time if they need it, and endless toys and bones to play with. Kyle and I are available often; the only restrictions we have include traveling that we do a handful of times throughout the year. When we aren’t traveling or working, Kyle likes to fish and I am focused on my art which takes place in my home. We have very few restrictions in our house when it comes to the dogs. (I think our only restriction is to table food, they don’t get any.) They have free rein of our large, fenced in back yard. If a dog needs their space, they go to another floor. I have a door that separates upstairs and down with comfortable areas in both locations for them to be alone with toys, bones, dog beds, and human furniture with full and easy access to all. If I am downstairs (in my studio) they will be with me. From my studio, they have direct access to the backyard via doggy door which is almost always open.
About: For many years I've been my family and friends go-to animal sitter and daytime/evening caregiver. I take pride in their trust in me caring for their babies. I have two fur babies of my own. My availability to provide animal care outside of my home is Saturday and Sunday during the day or extended evening hours with the occasional holiday. I work remotely Monday-Friday, I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs during the hours of, 6pm-10pm, Monday-Friday. Also, experienced in administering medications not limited to injections such as insulin, subcutaneous fluids, etc. Each service can be customized to your needs and discussed over the phone in terms of caring for multiple animals at your home. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for any clarification on my rates. Trust is a significant factor when it comes to putting your animals in someone else's care, it's important to follow any instruction that you leave me for your pet while always keeping you updated and taking your pets safety first and foremost. All of my clients and animals are treated as I would expect my animals and myself to be treated. They become my family when I care for them. I am also very knowledgeable about toxic materials including plants, food, etc. For birds, dogs and cats. I am cautious and constantly aware of my surroundings. I prefer to be preventative when it comes to animal care.
About: I have taken care of pets since the 3rd grade, when my family got our first dog (a golden retriever named Butterscotch). I have been told that I have a calm energy. I also have an attention to detail and a love of the outdoors. I am happy to go on long walks. I look forward to meeting your animals. At the moment, I have a standing commitment from 8am to 5pm Mondays and Tuesdays, but I am otherwise free to walk, feed, and take care of your animals. I have a fenced-in yard whose fence was partially crushed in the hurricane, so I would prefer housesitting or walking at or near your home (though I could board if needed).
“Emily is an exceptional sitter which is why this was our 2nd time calling on her. We wholly trust her with our dogs. She’s responsible, punctual, affectionate with our girls and followed the lengthy medication regimen for our older dog. She even gave us a reminder a few days before to confirm the upcoming visits. Emily gave us peace of mind through pictures of our pups and a detailed report of how they were doing while we were gone. We love and appreciate Emily and so do our girls!”
“Amazing cat carer! Was willing to learn how to pill a cat because the beast needs pills twice a day exactly 12 hours apart. Automatic litter box broke down - no problems! She found a set up the traditional box AND EVEN CLEANED UP THE SPILLED LITTER AND CRAP!!!!! The cat loves her! I trust her.”
About: Hey there Rover. My pet-sitting journey started with caring for friends' and family's animals before joining Rover. After taking a break to raise my own little ones, I'm excited to be back! I look forward to keeping your furry family members safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a daytime job Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so pets in my care should be comfortable during those hours. Outside of work, I'm available for walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and plenty of attention. To provide the best care and flexibility, I only accept Rover bookings during the weeks my children are with their dad. This allows me to fully focus on your pets and their routines while you're away. I can not board pets as my partners German Shepherd is territorial! But, basically I try to keep the same house rules as the owner.
“Alexis is very willing to work with you to make her visits stress free. Cotton (my cat) seemed to warm up to Alexis very quickly which is unusual for Cotton. I will certainly highly recommend and use Alexis again!”
About: I have previously worked at a humane society as a kennel manager. This gave me the opportunity to gain experience working with ALL kinds of animals with a wide range of temperments! I have also worked grooming dogs, and as a vet assistant. I have experience with giving medications, and helping senior pets with mobility issues. I have taken care of pet hamsters, fish, and I've even picked stalls and turned out horses! I'm here for whatever pet sitting needs you require! I have a full time job, with a semi-flexible schedule. That being said i have the ability to offer morning mid day and afternoon visits depending on your needs. I will do me best to follow any and all directions for in home pet sitting/check ins. I have 3 cats and 1 small dog of my own, but I do have a spare bedroom to keep animals separated as needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Flat Rock
Amanda was fantastic and truly went above and beyond while watching our dog Max. Not only did she take the utmost care of him but she also spent time keeping him company and sent us picture updates each visit. She just has an incredible way with animals. Even though she was there for Max, I was shocked to see our shyest cat (who I was positive would stay completely hidden) feeling comfortable enough to come out and sit with her. As first timers we feel really lucky to have found her and will absolutely look to use her services again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Flat Rock stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Flat Rock 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.

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.

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.
