“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!”

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 )
“Alexis was absolutely fantastic with Lula! Lula clearly had a great time with her. Had a great walk, play time and just spent time with her. From the moment she stepped into my apartment, Lula instantly took to her. I also have two cats who warned right up to her as well. Would never be able to recommend her enough to anyone who needs a pet sitter/walker.”

“Amazing walker! Diligent, communicative, and compassionate with my pup! Was easy to get a hold of and was always punctual! Took great photos and kept me looped in on relevant info regarding my dogs. Would definitely work with her again!”

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'm Ruby and currently a full-time student at BRCC! I've had at least a year of pet-sitting experience. I have taken care of dogs that have needed medication administered. As a student, I can't have a dog right now but love spending time with them through caring for others dogs. I have a cat, Asami, we've been together since she was about 4 months old and she's now 3 years old! It's always a pleasure to get to have a dog in the back seat of my car and get to go outside together!! I am a full-time college student with weekends off. I have time off between classes and after classes during the week. On Tuesdays, my day is packed but have evenings available. I am willing to house sit to keep your pet comfortable in an environment they are used to. If there are favorite areas that your pet likes to go to, I am able to transport them and go on walks. I have three cats in my apartment which would not leave much space for another pet. My complex has a small dog park but willing to drive to nearby dog parks.
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: I love all creatures. I personally have 3 of my own(2 dogs/1 cat) and I'm always looking to meet and care for other ppl's creatures when need be. I live near the Asheville airport & work nearby. I work day & evening shifts, which gives me time to visit creature clients. Prefer no overnights, due to my pets, but can swing a night or 2 if needed. Can do early am/late pm visits. I’ll make sure your babies are well taken care of. If they allow me I will give them lots of hugs, maybe a kiss or two. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I am here to care for your furry friend anyway they need. I will tend to them in the best way possible and love them like they are my own.

“Derek is reliable, knowledgeable and accessible. So grateful to have his assistance in caring for our 4 legged family member on our busy days. He has provided our family with reassurance and kept our girl happy. So thankful for his help!”
“Renick did an amazing job with walking my dog. Typically Pax won't walk with anyone except for me so I was unsure on how it would work out. However, Renick made Pax comfortable right off the bat! I am very happy with the quality of care shown to my dog. He even took pictures and posted them in the app while they were gone. Loved it! I will definitely use him again!”

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.
“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’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 . Saturday and Sunday only, I would be able to stay at your place to give your paw friend some company! I will make sure they are well behaved.

“Amazing! I reached out and they had time to take a booking right away! Great job with our two 70lb dogs on an hour long walk. So thoughtful with leaving us homemade dog treats too. Thank you Michelle and Dale!”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.
