“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.”


“Jennie is the best dog walker/caretaker you could ever ask for! She’s been great with my Nessa, who can be leash reactive. She helped me train her, has been patient beyond belief, and has always left me detailed information about her walks. More than that, she is an all around stellar person. Would give her 6 stars if I could!”


“Alexis provided thorough, thoughtful, and caring mid-day walks for our pup. I was grateful that he was in such supportive hands. I highly recommend her pet care services!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a sweet, playful 70 lb bernedoodle who’s 2.5 years old and full of energy. My experience includes daily walks/runs, grooming, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also offer dog RUNNING services for those high energy doggos that just need an extra zoom around during the day! Just book as a walk and add in a message that you’re interested in running. :) Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work 4 days a week at a local hospital, typically 7-8 hour shifts, so I’m home in the mornings and evenings to give pets plenty of attention. My own dog enjoys daily trips to the nearby dog park, plus quick potty breaks in the large grassy area behind my apartment. I make sure visiting pets get the same level of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space, access to a fenced balcony, and constant access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules closely and provide regular walks or park visits for exercise. My friendly 2.5-year-old bernedoodle loves having playmates, and I always supervise interactions to ensure all pets feel secure. I tailor care to each animal’s needs, whether that means active play, cuddle time, or a quiet resting spot. If your pet is crate-trained and you’d like them to have a crate during their stay, please bring your own so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: Hi there, I'm Adaira! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I provide care as if they were my own. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your beloved furry (or feathered) family member is receiving loving, attentive care while you're away. That’s why I offer: - Reliability and communication, with regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing - Compassionate care tailored to your dog or cat's needs - Experience with all ages and sizes, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing a gentler touch - Flexible services, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care - Farm sits and backyard chicken experience Your pets deserve the best care, and my goal is to give them comfort, love, and a happy routine while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pet family! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so I am able to work around your pet's needs and routine to provide attentive care, day or night. My house is home to two mild-mannered senior dogs, 2 aloof cats, and one firecracker rabbit. I have a large, one-acre yard with plenty of room to explore and nearby hiking trails to stretch those legs! My dogs are happy to keep yours company, or I can provide separate spaces for animals that are shy or reactive. I am happy to abide by any crate training your dog is accustomed to and can provide my own crate for your pet's use, as needed.

“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.”


“Ashley is wonderful! She is completely trust worthy and so sweet. Our golden George loves her. I will be using her services every time I need someone to take care of our fur baby George!”


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 :-)

About: Able to bond with animals easily. Have had several dogs over the span of their life ( some for 17 years ) Know what to look for in regards to medical, exercise, and lap time. Would treat them like my own, and mine are my family. I am retired, have dependable transportation, and always ten minutes early. I am retired and have very few obligations. When I commit to a schedule for your pet, that becomes my priority. Accepting all schedule suggestions. Dax..a mixed breed rescue is going on 10 this year. He has a porch and an outside dog run along the side of the house. He tends to venture off to the neighbors dogs when he finds the opportunity. So he is leash walked when we go out. He has a free run of the house, as well as my brothers dog when she visits ( bernadoodle )

“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.”


“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! :):):)”

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! I also have experience with disabled/special needs pets as well- my one cat is deaf. Hope to meet you and your furr babies soon! ☺️ I currently work from home so I have some flexibility to be available to care for your pets around your schedule. I am also very active and run almost everyday so I would love to take your dog on runs with me! I will come to your house to walk, feed, bathe, clean up after and play with your furr babies to ensure they get plenty of love and attention while you're away.

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.
“I was so relieved when I found out about Maria’s boarding services. I have an elderly dog who has to regularly take medication. In the past, I haven’t had much luck finding a doggie day care/ boarding place that could adequately meet Moti’s needs, but Maria’s gentle demeanor during our meet-and-greet put me at ease. She made me feel confident that Moti would receive individualize attention and care. Knowing that I’m a nervous dog mom, she sent me updates throughout his stay. Upon viewing the photos, I knew I made the right decision as I could see that he grew more confident and relaxed in her and her daughters’ presence during his first stay. Since then, I’ve used Maria’s services a few more times. It’s great to know that he will be staying at a home where they treat him as if he were their own pet.”


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!”
