“Alexis was an exceptional care giver for my 17 year old shin tzu, Bella. Alexis went above and beyond in taking care of her while I was away. I could not have asked for anyone better.”
“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.”
“Ryan did a superb job watching our fur baby. She is conscientious and he warmed to her right away. We felt confident that Ryan was giving him great care and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Please Read All Before Contacting: I am currently only available for overnight stays from 5:00pm- 7:30am during the weekdays and am available for an extended time frame on the weekends and holidays for an extended rate fee. For all bookings I require a meet and great before the booking dates. This free meet and greet will last around 30 mins so I can meet the fur baby and the family, get acquainted to your home and pets life style. We will talk about the needs during the meet and greet. I will take notes, but I do require for written information or instructions to either be sent to me or left at the home for me. I will not accept a booking without a meet and greet. These are very important to make sure we are a right fit for each other. Keeps everyone safe and at ease. ALSO: Your time and my time and communication are very important to me. When we schedule a meet and greet please be sure that you are certain that you do require my services and are able to meet. Please, communicate with me if your plans have changed in a timely manner and I will do the same. Failure of communications prevents other fur parents to reach out to me regarding care for their fur babies for those dates. I have spent 17 years taking care of all kinds of doggies and kitties. Before becoming an Independent contractor on Rovers platform I would care for coworkers and friends pets in their home during their vacations or business trips. I have established trust with many people. I Love these fur babies like my own. Enjoy building this bond with them that lasts a lifetime. I will only sit in your fur babies home where they are in their element and feel most comfortable. This also means that you get a house sitter caring for your home as well. I like to make sure that I leave the space as clean or cleaner than when I arrived . This means that I will be cleaning up after myself and the fur babies when I am there. I love being active and will provide your fur baby with the necessary mental and physical stimulation they needs. I will take care of your fur babies and your home like my own. I am currently only available for overnight stays from 5:00pm- 7:30am during the weekdays and am available for an extended time frame on the weekends and holidays for an extended rate fee. I am always careful to respect your fur babies home environment. I want them to feel comfortable in their home. I consider your fur babies as my own when they are in my care.
About: I’m the person who talks to your dog on the sidewalk in a funny voice. I fur babies & I’ve had pets my entire life. I am a full time mom to a sweet 6 year old son. Being outside and walking pups is our favorite thing to do together! I promise I will take great care of your fluffy family member and I look forward to meeting & cuddling them soon! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of wiggle room for checking in on your fluffy family member and loving them and giving them cuddles and walks and food or whatever they need that day. I’m so excited to meet the love of your life. I live on a large piece of property so if your baby can be off leash, I can have them off leash comfortably or if you prefer they be on leash I can do that too. There is plenty of room for lots of exercise. I have a very friendly, one year-old dog and a very friendly three-year-old cat. They love other animals! I also have a six-year-old son and he is an animal lover as well. If your Animal doesn’t like kids or other animals, I’m probably not a good fit. But I do not have my son on the weekends so I could pet sit for you on the weekends when my son is not around if your pet doesn’t like kids. I’m so looking forward to meeting your fluffy family member!
About: I have had dogs, fish, and rodents all my life. I volunteered at the Asheville Humane Society early into my teenage years. My previous job was at a dog daycare, which I worked at for one year. After I left that job I began working as a pet bather at a grooming salon. I recently left that job as I wanted to go back to school, and now started volunteering for the Asheville Humane Society again. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, fish, rabbits, pretty much anything. I am happy do feed, walk, play with, or just snuggle with any critter you might have! Beginning in August I will be in school and will not be able to do any services until 1:00 or later on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also go to church Sunday mornings and also cannot do any services before 1:00. However I do not have a job at the moment so other than those two things my schedule is pretty open! *Because of school if you are wanting to book me for house sitting longer than two nights you MUST have WiFi* I am more than happy to provide any service you would like me to do for your fur baby in your home. I do not mind long walks/hikes, preparing complicated meals, playing, whatever you need. I never raise my voice or get physical with animals. I will care for them with love and care!
About: Thank you for helping fund my college education!! About my Pet Care Experience: I am an experienced foster for many types of pets, ranging from week-old bottle-babies to elderly large dogs and different cats. Routine is important! I have learned to provide specific schedules for all types of fur babies depending on their needs. Currently, I am pursuing my bachelor's in nursing, so I am booked Mondays all day and Wednesday mornings. I make lots of tie for pets, as I recognize the value in enrichment. I run in the mornings, so let me know if your dog/dogs would like to join me as well! Water is always fresh and available, food is provided on a schedule unless otherwise noted. My apartment is not huge but there's nothing dangerous for pets. I pick up any smal items and plants when pets are home.
About: I have taken care of everything you can think of, it began when I was 9 years old. My family moved on a horse farm, where we took care of 13 horses everyday. After that my family ran a dog kennel with a capacity of 65 dogs, did that for about 4 years. I decided to branch out and start working for myself. I have pet sat for some years now during that, I have cared for live stock, birds, turtles, fish. I currently work weekends, between 8am-2pm. Unfortunately animals don’t talk so I got a part time job to get out of the house and socialize. I have a fenced in year, plenty of toys, a couple crates, definitely lots of bowls. Some dog beds, along with some blankets. Anything your animal may want I try to have. Of course bring anything that you think would help your doggie adjust.
“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.”
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.
“Michelle did a fantastic job of taking care of our German while we were out of town. She was able to handle a large dog who basically had no leash etiquette and was able to give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, and I bring a calm, intuitive approach to every pet I meet. I cared for my senior dog until he was 17 years old, so I’m very familiar with the slower routines, medication needs, and gentle patience older pets require. I currently have two six-month-old kittens and a senior cat at home, which means I’m comfortable with everything from rambunctious baby energy to the quiet, steady care that aging cats need. I’ve also cared for blind cats and deaf dogs, as well as pets with mobility or sensory challenges. I’m great at adjusting my pace, creating safe paths, and using sound and touch cues to help them feel secure. Honestly, I’ve been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I used to carry a dog encyclopedia everywhere I went, and that curiosity has turned into a lifelong love of learning about different breeds, personalities, and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of experience, gentleness, and the ability to tune in to what each individual pet needs, whether that’s extra patience, structure, or simply a quiet, comforting presence. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s needs—walks, meals, playtime, or quiet time—while keeping everything consistent and reliable. When I’m caring for an animal, my priority is creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I’m patient, observant, and always let each pet set the pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I follow your routines exactly as you lay them out: feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise habits, enrichment activities, and any house rules you rely on. I’m very detail-oriented, so things like secure doors, gates, and safe spaces are always double-checked. Cleanliness and comfort matter to me, too. I keep water fresh, living areas tidy, and make sure your pet has a peaceful space where they can relax and feel secure. I also communicate regularly so you always know how your pet is doing. Overall, I aim to provide steady, reliable care that makes your pet feel safe and understood, and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
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.
“Isabella did a very nice job. What I appreciate most is when someone takes the time to pet and play with my guys, which is not an easy task given how shy they are, but she took the time and effort to put on cat TV, play with a laser and help them warm up to her. She also left detailed notes, which is always nice. I am very pleased with her work:)”

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.

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 Flat Rock 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 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. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Flat Rock 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.
