“Benjamin was extremely kind and understanding when we had to cancel in the middle of the booking due to an emergency! We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
“Joanna is such a phenomenal sitter! She provides excellent care while I’m away, with great updates and attentive service. HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Alex is absolutely fantastic!!! He’s taken care of our cats on two different occasions and each time has been very attentive with them. Our 16 year old cat requires a lot of medication and Alex is the only sitter we could find who would administer all meds as required by our Vet. I would highly recommend Alex as a highly qualified pet sitter.”
“Grace took amazing care of my cat while I was away, providing the love and care he needed to feel safe and the clear communication and responsiveness I need to have peace of mind. From the first interaction, Grace took the time to provide a professional and attentive service, including a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she took care of my cat exactly how I liked. She also watered/watched my garden and kept everything looking great, an extra perk! I have no complaints and will rebook Grace for the next time I'm out of town. Thank you again, Grace!”
“I can’t say enough nice things about Alexandra. She definitely exceeded my expectations. She was wonderful with Ziggy, made sure to send tons of pictures, and she even hung out with him way longer than I paid her for! She was just the sweetest every time I talked with her. When I came home, Ziggy perked right up as if he was expecting Alexandra again, which made me super happy to see how much he enjoyed his time with her. She was even sweet enough to get a gift for Ziggy! I would rate her at 10 stars if it were possible. 5 just isn’t enough. I am positive that I will be contacting Alexandra for all of my future pet needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I’ve 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 doesn’t 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.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having been raised with pets my whole life! I strongly believe in giving them the best care possible. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and attention to detail when it comes to providing the best care for animals. I have a 4-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix that I’ve raised from a puppy and have trained with love and patience, ensuring she has grown into a well-behaved and happy companion. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a senior dog with congestive heart failure (CHF), where I administered around-the-clock medication and provided the special attention needed to ensure their comfort. I understand how important it is to give both young and senior pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart is my compassion and attention to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether it’s providing personalized training or simply offering them the companionship they need when you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, training, or medication management, you can trust that I will give them the highest level of care. I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same quality care I’d give my own pet! As a full-time professional who is new to the area, I have extra time available after my work hours and on weekends. I understand the importance of consistency in pet care and am happy to accommodate your pet's needs around my schedule. I am available before 7 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I offer flexible hours on weekends with prior notice. Whether it's a morning walk, evening playtime, or weekend care, I am committed to providing reliable and loving attention to your pets. I take the safety and well-being of every pet I care for very seriously. While I am unable to keep pets in my own apartment due to strict policies, I am more than happy to provide excellent care in the comfort of your home. I understand the importance of a familiar environment for pets and make sure to create a calm, secure, and loving space for them while you're away. I follow clear instructions for their routines, ensuring they feel at ease and receive the best possible care. Trust is crucial in pet care, and I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. With many years of experience, I offer a reliable, compassionate service, and I make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos. I also respect your home and space, ensuring I leave it just as I found it, clean and orderly, so you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in good hands.
“Chris was wonderful with Vittles! We had the chance to meet him beforehand and immediately found him to be a very kind and gentle person. Vittles clearly felt the same way and was very comfortable with him. Chris kept to Vittles’ schedule, communicated well, and sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Vittles was in such caring hands. We definitely recommend Chris as a pet sitter and plan to have him care for Vittles again!”
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I have an Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, intelligent dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment! I’m an Occupational Therapist and have spent years working in healthcare, so being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsible is a huge part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. I’m very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a quick potty break to a long walk for dogs who need to burn some energy. I also offer drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, and plenty of attention and cuddles for pets who prefer a more relaxed visit. As a dog owner who has used pet sitters myself, I know how much peace of mind updates can provide. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog wants to walk three miles, play fetch until my arm falls off, or just have someone hang out with them on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 One thing you can count on: I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)
“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.”
About: I routinely sit for friend's dogs and cats, and grew up around dogs so am very comfortable with many breeds and personalities. Especially love senior pups :) Local to Asheville, but willing to travel to surrounding counties. I am currently in graduate school, so I have a schedule that allows me to care for your pet during most weekdays as well as weekends. A very important thing before I start sitting a new animal is to make sure that I know what vocal/gesture commands, house rules, or personal needs your pet is accustomed to. This makes it a more seamless experience for both the humans and the animal.
“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: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom always had at least three dogs in the house along with a few cats, and I would regularly take care of them whenever she was away. Currently, she has four dogs, a miniature horse, and chickens, so I’m very familiar with a wide range of animals and their needs. I’ve also taken in pets from family members who were unable to care for them due to moves or life changes, which has given me even more hands on experience. I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m open to looking after other kinds of animals as well. I truly love animals and treat them with a lot of care and respect…I won’t even kill a spider, if that gives you a sense of how I am with them. I work mostly remote and do some overnight caregiving on the side. I will have a lot of time between October and mid April as I will not be caregiving in those months! I wish to care for animals at my clients home. So whatever they instruct me to do! I love hiking so I would love to take your dogs on adventures if it is allowed!
“Blair did a wonderful job with our two dogs and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, communicative and detailed oriented pet sitter ~ thanks for the great care you provided for our Labradors ❤️”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Morgan was absolutely wonderful. We truly appreciate her willingness to drive such a long distance to take care of Bella. She did a great job, was very caring, and made sure everything went smoothly. We are so thankful for her help and would definitely recommend her.
Sherrie was a great pet sitter for us when we needed someone to hang with our dogs in a downtown hotel while we attended a family wedding. She communicated so promptly when we were setting up the pet sitting. She arrived early and immediately seemed so comfortable with our doodles. We would highly recommend Sherrie and will use her again if the needs arises when we travel to the Asheville area.
Becky was wonderful to work with! She showed up right on time for the meet and greet with our dog and was very knowledgeable about administering medications. Everything went like clockwork for the appointment and knowing that she was taking care of our pup allowed us to enjoy our evening out. I will not hesitate to contact her again the next time we need help.
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!
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.
Maria is awesome! Highest possible recommendation. She is new to Rover but she has been house sitting for us for years and is the best house sitter we've ever had! Not only is Maria a superb animal caretaker and house sitter, she is who you want taking care of your house if something goes wrong. Over the years she has house sat for us, she's delt with plumbing, electrical and AC issues that have popped up while we are traveling. She handled all of them with the utmost care and professionalism. Again, we give Maria our highest recommendation for all pet services!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Happy Valley is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,056 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Happy Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
