“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!”
“Thomas has entertained our young puppy “Grover” for three busy days for our household. He has quickly become one of Grover’s favorite humans. Thomas responded to our initial request very promptly, came by for a meet & greet with Grover and gave us back a happy and tired puppy three days in a row!”
About: I’ve been with dogs my whole life. I started taking care of others dogs in the neighborhood when I was 11 and fell in love with it ever since. I’m reliable, consistent and very flexible. I have trained my dog and three other dogs basic training to advanced training. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekdays if requested. I can take your pup on a walk or even spend the night with your pup so they sleep good, I would be able to stay at your place to give your paw friend some company! I will make sure they are well behaved. The proper food will be served to your puppy and proper exercise for each dog! I will follow your recommendations and special requests.
“Susan is WONDERFUL! Our cat loves her, she’s communicative, always arrives on time, and does little things around the house she doesn’t have to do, like checking the mail or sweeping the floor around the litter box—without being asked. We will always book with Susan when she’s available during our trips.”
About: I will walk your doggy all summer long! I am reliable and trustworthy! I will always take good care of your babies, keep them happy and hydrated :) Available in the mornings all summer, in the afternoons until the end of the school year. Available on weekends as needed. Drop ins or walks. I have a dog and two cats. I prefer not to do dog sitting in my home because the cats don’t care for dogs.
“Krystin was highly professional and communicative before and throughout her time sitting for our two kitties. She left detailed notes and took the cutest photos. Great experience overall!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.
About: As a person who has been the primary care taker of my pets since I was 8, I know the right way to take care of animals and know how hard it can be to find quality care for our furry friends. With 2 cats of my own and with several previously owned dogs, I know I can provide excellent care to all kinds of animals! I also have a Veterinary Assisting degree, so also being able to alert owners of any health issues to be wary of is something I take seriously! Pet care is a daily task, as such I am able to do daily walks and be able to do other care tasks throughout the day so that your pet feels enriched and loved even when you’re away. I understand dog behavior to a good degree as I studied it while in school to earn my degree, so being able to safely walk a dog even if they are reactive is something I feel comfortable with.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. I will be new to the Asheville area, so I am only currently available on weekends. However, I will be available full time once I complete my move in June! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!
“Jill was awesome! She made an instant connection with our dog. She shared great photos of our pup having a good time. We felt comfortable with her immediately and the entire time.”
“Katherine was phenomenal as a sitter for our three cats. It was our first time employing Rover and Katherine as our sitter. She was very thorough with the routine, she was very communicative and our cats really enjoyed spending time with her. She played with them a lot and sent us fun pictures and videos. We did not worry about our babies at all…and we are big worriers. I HIGHLY recommend Katherine and will happily have her take care of our kitties again. I’d say she went over and beyond the call of duty!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.
“Francesca did an incredible job with my two cats. Each day I was provided with an extremely detailed update of how each of them were and what was completed on their behalf (food, water, litter, play). Francesca even brought our packages in and fed our local birds. If you want to leave your pet knowing they’re happy, safe, and well-fed, booking with Francesca is your best bet!”
About: I just lost my dog of 12 years. I'm not ready for another yet. Until I would l to help you with extra love for yours! ♡ I work 7 to 5, Monday through Friday. 10 HOURS PER DAY, I MAY NOT be a good fit everyone on weekdays! However, I would be available to help you with walking from 5pm to 7pm on weekdays, and we could talk about weekends! I live in downtown Hendersonville and do the Ecusta Trail quite often, if you are near I would love to help! I would prefer to come to your home to help with your dog! But if we vibe well, I have a home set up for a dog, with a fenced in yard and a doggie door!
Mills River dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristen is an absolute gem! We feel incredibly lucky to have found her to help care for our sweet giant rescue while we're at work. She is always punctual, highly communicative, and provides detailed updates after every visit, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. Not only did we find the perfect dog, we found the perfect pet sitter. Thank you so much, Kristen. We are truly grateful for the care, attention, and love you give our boy. ❤️😊
Lisa & Angie agreed fit a visit in with my pups with short notice after a last minute sitter cancellation. We immediately felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in their care. They stayed in communication and shared a detailed report on the visit. We are incredibly grateful and appreciative of their care & would absolutely leave our two dogs in their care in the future!!!
