“Sierra has been walking my dog for several months now, is dependable, communicates well, and lets me know her schedule in advance. It's such a load off my mind knowing Champ will get outside for a walk, and I can focus on work. I highly recommend Sierra.”

About: I am a life-long animal lover and advocate. I have nearly 2 decades of pet care experience ranging across various animal species, age, temperaments, and conditions. My schedule is quite flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furmily needs! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I am freely available for visits. I’m also generally available on weekend visits as well. From a wellness and care perspective, I aspire to treat every animal as if it were my own. Just to speak a bit about them…I have 3 fur babies at home, 1 Pyrenees mix, 1 Cattle dog mix, and 1 feline fuzzball. Each of the dogs get ample exercise, enrichment, and treats every day. I pride myself on being a cat-dad just as much as a dog-dad so the fuzzball gets his own enrichment and support each day as well :-)

“I really like Kaitlyn, she is great with Bentley, and sends photo updates. I truly trust Kaitlyn with my dog, she is really reliable and have been able to count on her for last minute walks when I need them. Highly recommend.”


“Emma was super attentive to our fur babies and went above and beyond caring for them. She tolerated my forgetfulness and was fast at responding. We will def continue to have her help with our kiddos as long as she's willing.”

About: I have loved dogs my entire life! I grew up with several dogs in the home. I have "dog-sat" for friends and family, and now I own a pup of my own! He is a sweet and spunky yellow lab named Linus! I rescued him a couple years ago and have spent a lot of time training him since I brought him home. He has come such a long way and he has shown me more love than I could have imagined. I’m a Masters student who wants some extra fur baby love! I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes plus experience with medication administration. I will run with your dog or lay on the couch cuddling with them!

My pets are allowed up on furniture with me, but of course I respect your house rules with each visit!

“A great big thank you to Nicole! Over time, she has helped my dog get so much more confident and relaxed with having new people in our house. I am sure it is because of Nicole's own calm demeanor. I've really appreciated her good suggestions and insights. I'm thrilled with the progress my dog has made! :):):)”


“Craig was fantastic with Dugan. He was able to walk him 3 days in a row with almost no notice. He responded right away and stayed in communication the entire time, sending multiple pictures every walk. Dugan is a Great Dane and pulls hard when other dogs walk by. Craig was able to calm him down and even prevent him from pulling! I will for sure ask Craig to walk dugan again and would recommend him to anyone.”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of animals since a young age…bunnies, birds, fish etc. However, when I owned my first dog as an adult, a Westie named Charlie, it was even more special for me. He required a lot of attention since he had sensitive skin and allergies. Now that he has passed, I love to be around and take care of animals whenever possible. I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I enjoy the time I get to spend with dogs playing and on their walks. I work part time with specific days and hours that I am available, however, I can be flexible sometimes. I will need notice before making accommodations. Let me know what’s your needs are. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and I live in a quiet area with surrounding wildlife. I can make a crate available or you can bring yours along.

About: I just moved from Nashville, TN where I had the privilege of caring for pets of high profile customers such as musicians, producers, doctors and athletes. I am very excited to make Asheville home and look forward to caring for your fur babies! Snow White has been my nickname ever since I was little because of my love and connection with animals. I've had a love/passion for animals for as long as I can remember- I am drawn to them as they are to me! I have taken care of neighbors/friends/family pets since I was about 10 years old. These services included: feeding, walking, bathing, playing and snuggling. I have two cats and a dog of my own who are my world!

About: Hi! I'm Maria, new to the Rover community but not new to the animal community! I have worked in the past as a vet tech- experienced in administering medicine, fluids, and injections, as well as boarding and petsitting. From an early age, I've always loved animals and have felt like they were my calling. I have a dog of my own, as well as 2 guinea pigs, and a turtle. I know pets are like family, and how important it is to find quality care for them so my goal is make your pets feel as comfortable and safe as can be in your absence. I have a fenced in yard, two enthusiastic animal loving assistants, and have an open and flexible schedule to help meet your personalized needs. I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for a peaceful dog walking experience. I also live 5 mins away from a park if that is your dog walking preference. We are also an active family and go on hikes at least twice a week. We can fit in more hikes if need be...we love nature! Dogs will be leashed when they are outside with the exception of our fenced in yard. I have an available crate and dog gates and can accommodate your dog's needs if you wish for them to be kept separate from pets or if that's simply the way you've trained them at home. Making the recent big move from NYC to beautiful North Carolina has now made it possible for me to offer my animal loving services and experience, and I am so grateful for it! I am excited to meet you and your pets and hope to be able to offer you a peace of mind while they are under my care! I am a currently a stay at home mom. I homeschool my older girls from home so I have an open and flexible availability. I am happy to offer boarding, pet-sitting, and dog walking. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a dog of my own but can easily keep them separate if that is your preference.

About: I have been petsitting for around 10 years, and did it more within these last six years. I love helping all animals and enjoy every second of it! I work part time, from 8:30-1:00 Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of time outside of work to care for your pets! My weekends are normally relaxed so I can be available when you need! I enjoy playing with different animals and learning how to best work with each one I meet. I like to take dogs on walks and play with them outside.

Maria L.
“Finally a place for Sonny that won’t undermine his training! When I met Maria, I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive she was when learning about Sonny’s needs- she even took notes! Sonny has a sensitive tummy and a water fixation- stressful combo. In the past two years, I‘ve tried leaving Sonny with pet sitters and boarding places, but they would not take these issues seriously. I’d often tell them about the vet visits and training that we’ve done with Sonny. I’d tell them about his diet restrictions and how we’ve learned to “set him up for success” at home. In the past, those sitters would yes me to death but when I’d pick Sonny up, I’d see that he was bloated and his stool would be loose for days afterwards. However, Maria understood that each pet is different and respected the hard work that went into getting Sonny healthy and house broken. She appreciated when I explained what worked for us and made an effort to replicate those conditions during Sonny’s stay and it made all the difference! When I picked Sonny up after a weeklong stay, he was contently exhausted from playing with their Frenchie, Stella. I was so delighted with how happy and healthy Sonny appeared. In a world where so- called dog experts become jaded by their years in the field that they tune out the hard earned truths that us dog parents can provide, Maria is a God send. Needless to say, Sonny has now stayed with Maria multiple times and I’ll continue to book her in the future. Once you find someone you can trust with your fur-baby, never let go!”


Claire S.
“Claire is absolutely amazing! She is so caring and understanding of a changing schedule and actually cares and loves all the animals. She goes above and beyond what’s expected and is eager to do whatever you need without complaint. I feel so comfortable leaving my animals in her care! Highly recommend!”
