“Caroline 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!”
“Courtney was great! She was super helpful in helping me book a last minute boarding. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, and David seemed to have a great time!”
“I appreciate Kristen so much! Our other dog sitter fell through last minute and Kristen saved our weekend! We have a rambunctious Aussie who loves to play with other dogs. Kristen’s place was perfect for her to meet new friends.”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals from dogs and cats to chickens and so caring for pets has been second nature for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I have volunteered at multiple animal rescue centers and was able to rescue and raise 2 wonderful dogs who were a huge part of our lives until they passed. More recently, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter through TrustedHouseSitters, where homeowners regularly rely on me to care for both their homes and their beloved animals while they’re away. Whether your pet needs dedicated supervision, routine medications, or overnight care, I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I’d give my own. What I Offer Active Dog Walking All Ages & Sizes: Comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to large dogs up to 110 pounds. Specialized Care: Experienced in oral and topical medication administration, house sitting, and maintaining consistent daily schedules. Peace of Mind: Honest, dependable care for both your pets and your home while you're away. I'm currently working in a contract capacity and so my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means that I can adapt my work schedule around your pet's needs! I have a clean, safe, non-smoking, multi-level home in Asheville North Carolina with a small unfenced yard with my husband, Jeff. My home is close to trails and walking paths so me and your beloved pet will have plenty of opportunities to get our daily exercise. When your pet is staying in my home they will have free reign of the home if that's something they're accustomed to! However, if your furry friend has limitations such as crate training requirements, we can certainly accommodate that too! I currently have no other pets, so your pet would be king or queen of the house during thier stay!
“Jess, Danny, their daughters and pets were fantastic with Opal! They gave me daily updates about how she was integrating into their household and it made me feel at ease to know she was being well loved while I was away. They have kids, a dog and cats. Opal had never spent any time with cats or children and she did great with them! I’m so glad she had such an enriching experience as I want for her to be a well socialized dog. I’m a proud dog mom!! Their updates included all the details a pet owner would want to know & we’re really heart warming to receive. Opal enjoyed being loved on by their sweet daughters, rough housing with their dog and cuddling with their cat. She truly was a part of the family. I would love to use their services again because I know she had a really great time and felt right at home! Thank you Jess and Danny!”
“We had 2 dogs board with Alyssa last week...from our first contact to our last Alyssa was top notch. She was responsive, accommodating and a pleasure to get to know. Her home is set up to take care of dogs and it's clear from several times daily photos and videos that our dogs had a blast, getting walks, swimming in the pond and playing in the very large indoor/outdoor play room! We will definitely be back!”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
“Gabriel was super accommodating and flexible when our travel plans changed and took great care of our dog. He even administered medications gave him lots of TLC in our absence.”
“Fernanda was incredible! My boyfriend and I have separation anxiety I think more than our pup Walter does and Fernanda put us at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation. She sent us pics and videos and updates throughout the weekend. Our dog can be a handful as he has tons of energy but he had a blast playing in her yard and with her dog who was super sweet! I will 100% be booking with Fernanda again for our next time we need a sitter.”
“All I can say is that I didn’t 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.”
“Linda is friendly and knowledgeable. She has a beautiful home and a nice sized fenced in back yard. Missy enjoyed her stay and we will definitely have her stay with Linda again next time we need a care giver for her.”
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Ash!! We were so nervous leaving him for the first time and you immediately alleviated all of our fears! Ash felt right at home and you treated as your own family. Your constant updates and pictures were so thoughtful. Thank you so much!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I also worked in a dog kennel in college. Love being around animals as much as I can! I work a full time job so I primarily would have more time on weekends but I can make mid day trips home for potty breaks! I let animals roam around my home so they can feel comfortable. I have a large dog bed and food bowls already here along with a few toys and treats!
About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Our dog Buddy was very comfortable with Jen and he can be nervous with some people. She gave him his medications, kept us informed of how he was doing and included photos with her texts. We will definitely want to use Jen the next time we leave town. Thanks again Jen!
Lysa and her husband took amazing care of our dog! We loved the photos and videos we received and she came home clean, happy, and worn out in the best way. Can’t recommend them enough and Remy can’t wait for us to leave town so she can go back! Thank you thank you!
This was Blu’s 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 else’s 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 ♥️🥰🐾
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!
Gus was a fantastic dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he provided. He took wonderful care of our two Australian shepherds and our cat while we were away, and it was clear from the start that he’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. Our dogs were happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we returned, and our cat was clearly comfortable and well cared for too. Gus kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind, and our home was left in great shape. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter.
Danae was great to work with and very easy to communicate with. She took great care of our Puppy for the weekend. We received updates, videos, and pictures of our pup while away. She was very clear with instructions for finding her home, flexible with times and accommodated us in any way she could. Would 100% recommend and would rebook in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 dog’s 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Happy Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and 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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s 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, you’re 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.
