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!
“Wow! Such a great experience with Jill and Eric. They took such great care of my cat. Sent multiple pics and gave the best commentary! Arrived promptly for each visit. Really great people. Thanks so much. We will definitely use them again!”
About: Expert in ear scratches for critters big and small. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to run, if you’re looking to get exercise for your pup. I also have experience with senior animals that just want to snuggle. I’m available every weekend and work part time during the week. I can work walks or runs in with your pet during the week the week as well. I’d love to check on your pet in the comfort of their home, where all their favorite toys and treats are. I’m looking forward to scheduling!
About: **I work full time at Mission Hospital M-F during the week so if you are in need of full day sitting then I wouldn't be available.*" I have 14 years experience as an animal care provider and I'm able to train animals using positive reinforcement methods. I've trained animals in leash walking, dinner time manners, night time routines, special tricks, negating biting, barking, licking, begging, pulling on walks, aggression, and much more. I've provided care for varying breeds and temperaments and I'm available for extended stays (+20days). I give full, undivided attention to the animals I care for and it gives me great joy to see them so happy. I try to treat the animals I care for as I would like to be taken care of with dignity, love, respect, and lots of playing outside! For full-day or overnight stays, I am with your pets the entirety of the stay (unless to go on a quick trip to the grocery store). I normally work around schedules to help pet families as much as I can. I love all animals and am privileged to care for them, so they receive my full attention when in my care. I make sure that not only are their needs and the owner's needs are being met, but that they have fun and are happy while their owners are away.
“Katrina and I faced an unusual circumstance when a vet stated my sweet kitty should be put down just as I was leaving for a trip. My sweet ole kitty has asthma and then an additional diagnosis of feline thyroid disease; she hadnt ate in three days. I discussed the situation with Katrina and decided to let her work her magic. I am so relieved and happy with my decision. My sweet kitty started eating again while Katrina gave her pills twice a day and cared for her. I returned to my Fur baby more alert, loudly demanding where I was, and her appetite returning. I am so happy to be with my fur baby during her last leg of lifes adventure.”
“Kayla is very friendly, professional and trustworthy! It always takes my dog a while to get comfortable with a stranger, and I was pleased to notice that Kayla was very sensitive to this and gave my dog the space that she needed. The communication was great. Will definitely rebook!”
“Highly recommend Kristen! We hired her for 3 consecutive days of drop-in visits. From the moment we met her, her warm and trustworthy energy put us at ease. During our meet n greet, she asked all the right questions to ensure she cared for our two cats perfectly. Our kitties were undeniably happy when we returned home, thanks to Kristen's excellent care. She was consistently punctual within the discussed time frames, always staying for the full visit (and more) to ensure our cats had everything they needed, plus lots of love and attention. Kristen's communication was top-notch; she was highly responsive and provided detailed notes along with numerous adorable pictures. One day, she brought her daughter along (with our permission), and our cats adored her company as well. For those who are as selective as we are about who cares for our pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Kristen.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs over the years. I love knowing a dog is well taken care of while their family is away. Love meeting new dogs. I have recently had a job change, which unfortunately has put us in a situation where we both are gone from home around 8 hours a day. Sometimes we are home sooner but it's not guaranteed. For now we are gonna be open to weekend or long weekend dog sitting. We just don't want to not be able to give the dogs that stay with us the attention they deserve. If you are in need of a weekend get away let us see if we can help. We treat everyone's dog like they are our own. Lots of whatever each dog needs, love, play time, toy time, cuddles, walks, running around outside.
About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Cheeto, a Redbone Coonhound who loves other dogs!
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!
About: I will care your pets like a family. I will give them the attention and care they need, my family , neighbors ,relatives and friends trusted me with their pets . I’m currently working full time, but I also work from home ... so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup’s I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fence yard and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a pup to accompany your dog and to play with.
“Lyndsay is a fantastic sitter - prompt and thorough communication, great photo updates, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt good about leaving our pup for a long distance trip.”
About: I love dogs and wish that I could afford one of my own! I grew up with multiple dogs, big and small, cats too. I honestly love walking too so this seems like the perfect fit for me. I am a gentle and kind person who will take good care of your pup. I will take them on walks around town, hikes in the woods, or play a good game of fetch on the green! Always picking up after the dogs to keep this town clean. I usually work in the mornings but am free most afternoons. Please let me know if you are interested in working with me! I can't wait to meet you and your precious pup (or multiple pups)! Give me a bark when you're ready :)

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!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mills River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Mills River 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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mills River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
