About: I have pet sit for friends, family and co workers over the years in addition to always have two of my own cats. I treat all pets as I would want someone to treat mine! 🥰 I am a reservist in the Coast Guard. I only work one weekend a month and am trying to find more work with things I am passionate about while being outside. To me, nothing is better than dog walking to fit that description! I have a small fenced in patio and a three bedroom home. I live close to a park and love to go walking! Again, I always treat other people’s pets how I would care for my own.
About: Growing up I always had pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, fish and have always been an animal lover. Two kids later, potty training another living thing is not a priority but I cant resist tail wags and couch snuggles whenever I’m around animals. I am very active and would love to be the person to help get the zoomies out of your doggo or check in on other furry friends. I have had dogs of my own and have experience with crate training and will help to encourage existing basic training behaviors. I work remotely full time and am typically an early riser. I have two kids that keep me busy but my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to come over to check in on your fur babies, take them on walks or sit with them for a few hours while I get my work done.
“Denisse did drop-ins to check on my cat and she was great. I could tell my cat really warmed to her and enjoyed being around her! She seems to understand cats very well. I know none of us like to be away from our fur babies, but I definitely felt a little more at ease with Denisse’s detailed updates and photos letting me know how my cat was doing. Overall, Denisse did a fantastic job — she was thorough, communicative, and flexible from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Misty is professional and you can tell she loves taking care of animals and treats them like they’re her own. She took care of our little chihuahua while we went away for a trip and she checked on him on the times we requested. Played with our little guy and let him burn his energy. She respected our home and she sent several pics with every visit! My kids loved seeing those pictures. I would definitely book Misty again! She was fantastic. ⭐️”
“Michelle did a fantastic job of taking care of our German while we were out of town. She was able to handle a large dog who basically had no leash etiquette and was able to give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I have had dogs, fish, and rodents all my life. I volunteered at the Asheville Humane Society early into my teenage years. My previous job was at a dog daycare, which I worked at for one year. After I left that job I began working as a pet bather at a grooming salon. I recently left that job as I wanted to go back to school, and now started volunteering for the Asheville Humane Society again. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, fish, rabbits, pretty much anything. I am happy do feed, walk, play with, or just snuggle with any critter you might have! Beginning in August I will be in school and will not be able to do any services until 1:00 or later on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also go to church Sunday mornings and also cannot do any services before 1:00. However I do not have a job at the moment so other than those two things my schedule is pretty open! *Because of school if you are wanting to book me for house sitting longer than two nights you MUST have WiFi* I am more than happy to provide any service you would like me to do for your fur baby in your home. I do not mind long walks/hikes, preparing complicated meals, playing, whatever you need. I never raise my voice or get physical with animals. I will care for them with love and care!
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
“Adelynn was great with my two cat siblings. She even located my super skittish boy who NEVER appears for strangers and had photo evidence of life. It was so reassuring and definitely spoke her to her thorough care. Will definitely try to connect with her again when needed!”
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”

I am currently self-employed and work for my self. So my schedule is flexible and I’ll have time to give your pet all the attention and love they deserve!

Kristen is wonderful!! Communicates clearly, quick to respond, dependable. She doesn't just take our puppy outside to potty, but instead goes the extra mile to play with him so he can get energy out while we're at work. I can't say enough positive things about her-- she's great!
Abigail is great! She shows up early/on time. She is respectful and kind. She takes time to make sure your pet is well loved on and happy. She follows all directions and is very responsive. She takes great photos and leaves detailed updates. My dog loves her. It was nice to be away and know my baby was taken care of.
Jennifer did a great job this time taking care of Madeleine the kitten and also Caly, the dog. She had to walk Caly this time and she sent photos and notes. I will definitely be using her again as she follows all directions and seems to love all animals. What a jewel!!!!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Horse Shoe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
