“James was a pleasure to work with! From a meet and greet before his first time sitting to check-ins with us at each visit, we loved having him taking care of our kitties. He was reliable, punctual, communicative, and we could tell he loved our babies as much as we do. Everything looked just as we left it when we returned and the cats hardly seemed to notice we were gone. Thank you, James!”
“Mersadi was a joy to work with and took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was away! Mersadi was very easy to communicate with, and sent me drop in notes and pictures every day. The peace of mind knowing my boys were taken care of while I was out of town is priceless!”
“As always Caitlin goes above and beyond! I never worry leaving my kitty in her hands, and kitty is always so happy when I get home. Caitlin takes the time to play and love on her with extra attention and care. 10 stars if I could ⭐️”
About: Ever since I was little, animals have been a huge part of my life. Growing up on a small farm taught me not only how to care for animals, but also how deeply they become part of the family. I truly believe pets are our children, and they deserve the same love, patience, attention, and care we would give to any family member. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my dog, Sophie, during the final year of her life after she was diagnosed with bone cancer. That time taught me so much about compassion, attentiveness, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable through every stage of life. Caring for Sophie gave me extensive hands-on experience administering medications, injections, and following detailed care routines with patience and consistency. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who may need extra support, medical care, or simply a gentler approach. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and farm animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique routines, quirks, and comfort levels. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, anxious, senior, or needs specialized care, I always strive to make them feel loved, calm, and right at home. I also own a small handmade pet accessory business, Lumber Puppies. You may have seen me at local art and maker markets throughout the years! Being involved in the pet community has only strengthened my belief that our animals deserve thoughtful, personalized care and lots of affection. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, playtime, and patience. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your babies with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I am available every day of the week with a lot of flexibility and can accommodate last-minute changes. Let me know what your needs are, and we can discuss how I can help. While caring for your pets, you can feel safe knowing that I will always take the utmost care when in your home. I have a deep fear of someone carelessly letting one of my cats slip out the door. Because I have this fear for my own pets, I will ensure that it is not something you will ever have to worry about while your babies are in my care.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve cared for my own for over 20 years, including through aging, illness, lots of meds and treatments. Able to care for any age or size and have experience with oral and subcutaneous meds for cats and oral meds for dogs. I’m currently working from home, so I’m available throughout the day and also anytime after 5pm - weekdays and weekends. So, available for drop-ins, pet sitting in my house or yours (as long as you have WiFi), walks, etc. Happy to care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. No fenced in yard at my place right now, but in a great walkable neighborhood. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were my own!
“Can't say enough good things about Maria. She took great care of my cat and dog while I was away for a long weekend. She took my dog on long walks, romps in the snow, car rides, and provided belly rubs. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She truly was the best sitter I've come across on Rover thus far.”
“Tobias was very attentive and made sure my dog had all of his needs taken care of during his drop in visits over the weekend. He was also very informative during his visits. My dog is 14 years old and he also did a great job administering all of his meds. I definitely recommend Tobias!”
About: Welcome, Thank you for your interest. My name is Gabriel, your dedicated pet concierge. "Enabling the ordinary, so you can achieve the extraordinary!" I have had the pleasure of working with pets and their families in WNC for over 10 years. I am committed to expanding my expertise in animal care and am always receptive to new insights, techniques, and communication methods for our beloved companions. To streamline the process, I invite you to schedule a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez. Those familiar with me recognize Kira as my cherished companion, and she serves as my inspiration. I am committed to extending the same level of affection and care to your pet when you are unavailable. My daily work schedule fluctuates based on staffing requirements, with typical shifts ranging from 6 to 9 hours. However, I am able to utilize my lunch breaks to check on our pets. Please ensure your pets can be left unsupervised for 4 to 9 hours while I am at work or asleep. I utilize a "KiraLove Cam" equipped with a two-way microphone and high-definition capabilities. I am pleased to provide screenshots of your pet from this camera during their time under my care. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment complex located in the South Slope downtown area, with a hiking trail conveniently situated a few blocks away. Having lived in downtown Asheville for 10 years, I have curated optimal routes and secure locations for our pets to enjoy throughout the day until your return.
About: I have 4 years of professional animal care experience, and have grown up around dogs and cats. I’ve provided care for dogs, cats and reptiles. I’m comfortable working with animals with special needs. I currently work full-time on week days from 8-4. If you live within 10 minutes of West Asheville I am able to provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours. If you live further out, I can provide breaks every 8 hours. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and I have no pets of my own, so all of my attention can be on your fur babies!! I can’t currently offer boarding in my home as my roommate has a dog, but I am happy to come to your house. If needed, I can provide plant care during my stay, and will ensure you come home to a clean house and happy animals.
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”
“Erin is a wonderful sitter who "got" my cat right away. Her updates are both thorough and thoughtful. She is incredibly responsible, and it's clear just how much of a cat person she is. I am incredibly grateful to have found her!”
“Alexis is a very good sitter. She not only takes care of your pet as you would want her to, but provides them with lots of loves and hugs and affection. She always gives a detailed description of her visit, which keeps you well informed. In addition, she has taken some of the best pictures of our Zak! He seems to enjoy her visits very much.”
“Excellent to work with! She was super flexible when I needed last minute help. Very professional and picked up all the little details on our pets. She sent pictures and a quick message to let me know how everything went. Will definitely work with her again!”
“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”

About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.
About: I have 4 years of kennel and veterinary experience. I have experience with old and young dogs and administering medications/caring for elderly animals with extra needs. I also have experience with aggressive and skittish dogs and cats from many years of volunteering at the Humane Society. I have groomed dogs of varying size while working at the kennel and can handle different breeds coats and needs. I have 3 Siberian Huskies of my own. I take them for an hour walk everyday and I am more than happy to include your pet in that routine. If they prefer to go on walks by themselves I can make time for that as well. I am available at any time of the day because I work from home. I am happy for them to stay in my home or I can come to you if your dog is more comfortable in their own environment. I have a fenced in backyard at my house and my dogs love to play with new friends. They always do a good job of making other dogs feel included and welcome. Luckily they are not territorial in any way. My dogs have free rein of the house. I do not crate my pets because they are luckily respectful of the house when I am not there. I have a medium sized crate from when they were puppies, but if you need your dog crated and they are a large dog you may have to provide your own! I monitor my dogs all day, if I do leave them it is to go grocery shopping or for a quick workout, I will never leave your dog for more than 2 hours. I am also very happy to update you throughout the day with pictures and videos so you can see how your baby is doing:)

I highly recommend James for your pet care needs! He is very responsible and willing to do whatever comes up; eg, the power went out while we were away and he enquired about anything we needed to be done around the house in response to that. He was perfectly attentive to our cat’s needs and very communicative. He made us feel very safe while we were gone!
Jen has been an exceptional pet sitter for our cat on several occasions. Her consistent ability to show up and provide comfort and daily task to Miss Pipi Ann has brought peace of mind to our family during a difficult time. Jen has taken ownership of the duties and shown total respect for our home. She bonded quickly with our senior feline and reported daily on her well being. We will absolutely continue to have Jen in our home and seek her out when care is needed for our most precious fur baby.
Jessie is the ultimate professional: a skilled trainer, compassionate, prepared and protective, kind and considerate, and always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our animals, home, plants, and us humans. Jessie has cared for our pets and house on several occasions now, the most recent being for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. We could rest completely assured that Jessie was on top of whatever happened while we were away (the water being turned off to the house, severe storms!) and that our pets were in the best hands possible. We cannot recommend Jessie highly enough!
Benjamin was a wonderful pet sitter! We recently moved to a new neighborhood and needed to quickly find a new cat sitter. We are so pleased to have chosen him to care for our finicky cat Flo Flo while we were away on a family trip. He was reliable, punctual and very easy to communicate with. He went above and beyond to help with checking on some small house tasks as well. We are so pleased to have a new friend and reliable pet sitter right down the street in our new neighborhood! Thank you Benjamin!
Carolyn was the perfect sitter for our three cats -- she came on time every day that was scheduled and left us updates, and multiple pictures and videos! It was something we looked forward to every few days during our honeymoon! Carolyn was also very responsive and communicative.
We are very happy with the level of care Margaret provided our two one-year-old sister kitties. She was thorough - fed, watered and played with our kitties and sent us pictures daily. It was the first time being away from our girls for a few nights and Margaret did a great job looking after them and keeping us updated, so we could totally enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Margaret when you need a pet sitter!
We’re so lucky to have found Willa. She's someone you just *know* you can trust when you meet them. She took the time to meet our extremely shy cat on his level and care for him in all the ways you could only hope for. Attentive, kind, knowledgeable and above all else - caring. She was responsive from the moment I sent the inquiry and communicated with us during our whole trip (sending lots of updates and pictures). You can rely on her to be there for your pet with patience and love. Genuinely can’t say enough about how wonderful Willa is. You won’t be disappointed and your fur babies will thank you!
Liliana was amazing! She communicated with me weeks before her visit to take notes and confirmed everything again the week she came. She sent tons of pictures during her visit and it’s clear my furbaby was smitten with her! I will definitely book with her again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
