“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“This is the first time using a pet service and found out how important it is. I feel the human contact is very important and Savannah gave my cats that special attention they needed while I was out. Thank you Savannah.”
“It was really lovely to go on vacation and not worry about the care that our animals were receiving. Neil was prompt, sent pictures daily and when we got back our animals were calm and we could tell, well cared for. Thanks Neil!”
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.
“Benjamin was a reliable and flexible sitter! I had some changes to my original request and he had no problem with it. I knew Modelo was in good hands. I would recommend Benjamin for your pet sitting needs.”
“Alex is great! I needed a last minute drop in sitter for my cat and he did an awesome job! He is super punctual and communicative and did everything I asked for. I got lots of updates and pics which I always love! I will definitely book him in the future!!!”
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
“Mersadi was awesome with Casper, who can be very intimidating to some, and detail-oriented with Buddy, who's kind of picky. She communicated very well, and was punctual. I'd 100% recommend her to care for your pets!”
“Sherrie was a dream! Our pup Ripley immediately fell in love with her. We were so happy we found her during our stay in Asheville. Will def look to hire her when we return.”
“Marissa did a great job. She persevered when my big dog wasn’t sure about letting her in and then quickly gained his confidence. Got lots of photos and animals looked well fed and happy. All instructions followed. 10/10”
“Antoinette was so helpful and flexible! We had a last minute change where I had to find someone quick and she was there able to roll with the quickness. She was kind and considerate and a great choice!”
“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Natasha and how well she cared for our cats and sugar glider. She is very attentive, meticulous and our cats love her calming energy. So thankful to have found someone so kind and responsible that we can trust while we are away. Will definitely rebook with her again!”
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. I have one very elderly cat in my home. So if your pet doesn’t do well with cats, I can come to your home. No fenced in yard currently, but I go on frequent walks!
About: While I have had dogs previously, I also worked as a kennel tech at a boarding facility, where I was in charge of caring for, administering medication, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats! I have experience with all breeds of dogs, as well as seniors and puppies alike! I am a college student so I do have class every day, but my schedule varies by day so just ask! I am available after 5 pm every day, and typically between 11-3pm as well! I can also do early mornings before 9 am. With my experience, I know how to handle cats and dogs very well. I will do absolutely everything I can to ensure your pets safety, and I will immediately reach out in case of an emergency.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Happy Valley on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
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.
