âCaroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!â

âFiona was the most relaxed she has ever been on pick up from a sitter so I know she was well taken care of . Terri was very prompt in answering messages . If we are ever in Asheville again I sure know who to request if we need a sitter . I highly recommend Terri .â
âKristen has a calming demeanor, which is perfect for my anxiety ridden âold man puppy.â He seemed to do just fine trotting along beside her on our second visit drop off vs the usual separation anxiety panic he gets when l leave him with a sitter.. so seeing him voluntarily go with her was reassuring for me that he is cared for and had a good time.â

About: Iâve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. Iâve also taken care of cats along with bunnies, guinea pigs, mice, and frogs. I have also helped take care of senior dogs who needed help walking and also puppies. I am currently going to school at UNCA so I would stay at your home or also have your dog in my dorm the school doesnât mind. I would take them outside in the morning and in between classes. There is also a dog park behind my dorm building. I will stop by and feed animals and stay if wanted to and also walk them and play with them during my free time. I can take care of whatever you need including tidying up.
âWe couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our girl had a wonderful time and loved playing in the big yard with the sitter's dog. The location was also ideal for a visit to Biltmore. We would gladly book with them againâ¤ď¸â
âMax was absolutely amazing with Elton and Romeo! We could tell our boys had the best time because they were completely worn out on the ride home from Asheville. Max had the perfect setup for them, and it was clear from the regular updates and pictures he sent that they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Max and would love to have him watch our boys again!â
About: I currently am working as an ER veterinary nurse. Previously, I was a nurse at a general practice hospital for 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If youâre looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, Iâm your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I do work as a ER veterinary nurse in the area, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who donât, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.
âAll I can say is that I didnât know Georgie could possibly be more spoiled than he already was but he is and that is a good thing! Made the entire trip away perfect knowing he was being so loved. Anyone who adores their dog and considers them their baby and not just a pet, do not hesitate to trust Toni to care for them.â
âAmanda was fantastic! It was clear from the pictures and updates that she sent that my boy was in good hands. It was a relief to have such good care while I was away. I will definitely use Amanda again!â
âKaLynn was phenomenal with my cairn terrier Bailey. I forgot her food at my house (an hour away), and she went out of her way to go to the store. Incredible. She sent multiple photos daily and went above and beyond.â
âCarlina was fantastic with Coco! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Coco got along so well with Carlina's dog and seemed to have a wonderful time. Carlina gave her plenty of snuggles, treats, and attention, and it was clear that Coco was very well cared for. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Carlina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! đžâ¤ď¸â

Jen was absolutely wonderful! She took care of Creamie for 4 nights, and I couldnât have asked for a better sitter. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Creamie was in good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I really appreciated how sweet, patient, and caring Jen was with her. Iâm so grateful we found her and would definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! â¤ď¸
My dogs had a wonderful time staying at Alyssaâs place! She sent me tons of pictures every day, and I could see how happy they were! Their place is idyllic for dog sitting, plenty of room for the doggos to run around and play. I will definitely be booking with her again and I know my pups will be happy to stay again!!
Bridget was so, so fantastic was Smokey. He's currently having health issues and she was so patient and gentle with him, and extremely communicative with me and accommodating of our schedule. I truly felt like she treated him like her own dog. I would absolutely recommend her and am looking forward to having her watch Smokey again if she's able!
This was Bluâs second time staying with Jacqueline so I already knew he was in great hands. He was excited to arrive at her home. I got photos and updates and could easily tell that he was being loved. Jacqueline is great with communication and was so accommodating when my flight was repeatedly delayed. I highly recommend!
Golda was great! Very communicative and sent several pictures of our pup while we were away. She has a great fenced in yard that our dog loved, he was very happy when we picked him up and seemed to be well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again!
Cindy was the ABSOLUTE BEST. I have never felt this secure leaving my dogs under someone elseâs care. She was so sweet and attentive, and made my nervous pups so comfortable. They seemed to have a great time there. She gave me the nicest photo updates too. I think I just found my go-to sitter in Asheville. 1000/10 recommend âĽď¸đĽ°đž
This may have been the very best Rover experience I have ever had. Abigail and her husband are so attentive and thorough. My dogs fit right in to their pack and got extra special attention and treats. They have an amazing fenced in back yard that my dogs loved, complete with good signage and a box of supplies :) And the pups got special couch cuddle time. Abigail was flexible and a fantastic communicator. The pics and updates were funny and lovely. I felt more than comfortable leaving my dogs with her- it was like camp for them! Will absolutely be using again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Happy Valley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dogâs usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Happy Valley home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Happy Valley.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Happy Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, youâre adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
