I'll keep your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away - reliable, caring, and committed to treating them like family. I work as a delivery driver for Kickback so my schedule is really flexible and I have reliable transportation. I am usually working dinner time hours but I can accommodate for your pets needs! I follow your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and keeping their space tidy. I also provide updates and photos so you know they're happy and well cared for while you're away.
“John was very courteous to do a meet and greet with my pup before our first visit! John was communicative, friendly and kind, and thorough with feeding and tasks! Glad to have him as my dog walker!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of theirs pets in different ways. Depending on the circumstances, I taken care of dogs at my house where they can run and play in our big fenced yard. Other times, I’ve stayed at friend’s house to keep their dog comfortable in his own home. Lastly, I’ve helped by stopping by and checking on pets few times a day or as needed. I work remotely with a flexible schedule during the week, and most Fridays off giving me plenty of free time to help you with your pet. I have a big fenced yard where the dogs can run free and safe when they need fresh air, and a big comfy space indoors perfect to take naps and keep me company while I work.
About: I have over 20 years of experience walking, sitting and caring for dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur child in the hands of a stranger and I treat every animal as if it were my own. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands and receiving all the love, care, and attention they deserve. I also work from home so I give lots of attention and pets throughout the day to your pups. I grew on a small farm and have a natural ability to understand animals. I have trained my own dog and assisted in training a boarder collie puppy my parents owned. I feel comfortable sitting/walking dogs of various sizes and breeds. I've also had a cat growing up and have taken care of neighbors cats for extended periods of time. I live a healthy and active style and would love to take your dog on hikes or runs around the area while you are away. If they are more of a couch potato I am also happy to snuggle up on the couch with them equally. I work remote so would be available on weekdays to take our pet out frequently. I am free on weekends to spend all of my time with them as well! I don't have a yard but am close to many outdoor places and live an active lifestyle. My home is comfortable and safe for pets.

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”
About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and others. I also have experience with farm animals in addition to common household pets, which I think has improved my overall care for all animals. Animals are my happy place, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work fully remote, so I am able to pet-sit often and stay home pretty much all day with your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to commit a lot of time to pet sitting which i love!

I do not offer boarding in my home as of right now, but I will take care of pets in your home. With that being said, I will respect everyone’s home and animals as if they were my own. Will provide lots of cuddles, walks, playtime, and love while you are away! :)
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've taken care of just about every animal since I was born. Especially cats and dogs but I've also taken care of reptiles, fish, chickens, rats, gerbils, hamsters, and even bugs. I've handled difficult dog breeds including pitbulls and preydriven rottweilers in a cat home. I am also not shy to pee or poop or any sick pets as I've been in and out of the vets offices as well. Im looking to possibly make this full time. So I am available just about whenever you need me to be there. This includes weekends as well. I am very pet friendly and enjoy being interactive no matter the species. Whether it's letting the crickets run so the bearded dragon can get some exercise or walking the puppy around the yard.
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.
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Simone was timely, detailed, friendly, and made instant positive connections with our three dogs - a young boisterous fellow and a very gentle senior dog. She was respectful, engaged, and asked excellent questions that built my confidence. I look forward to booking with her in the future!
We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
