“Christie was great to work with regarding drop off and pick up as my schedule kept changing. She then sent me photos of my sweet dog while I was away. I would recommend her!”

“Perfect hosts for our kinda big and sometimes rambunctious girl!! Jennie and Craig are intelligent, compassionate, communicative, and patient. All around perfect dog hosts, and i can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Amanda was fantastic! It was clear from the pictures and updates that she sent that my boy was in good hands. It was a relief to have such good care while I was away. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

Megan W.

“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”

Tisha J.

“I just boarded my dog for over 2 weeks with Rayana and I am extremely happy with her care. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to play together and plenty of toys. The dogs get a lot of loving attention. I received pictures and updates daily which was wonderful! Rayana has a lot of experience with taking care of dogs, pays attention to their personalities and sets boundaries if needed. My dog had a great time there, couldn’t be any happier with Rayana’s place!!”

Sandra M.

“I felt extremely at ease leaving our dog with Kristin and Seth. She has been with them twice, and both times it has been a wonderful experience knowing she was well taken care of while I was away. I enjoyed all of the photos they shared, and I appreciate their flexibility in working around our schedules. I highly recommend them!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was little and I've watched a few dogs in Asheville and taken them on walks and we always have a great time. I'm a musician, so I'm home full time and i have a flexible schedule and plenty of space to play with and walk a dog. My home is a very calm environment, and we have a nice outdoor space. The neighbors have dogs so there could be opportunities to play with other dogs if that's something they're into. If I was at your house it would be pretty much the same, I would of course be attentive and careful and I would treat your things like they were mine.

“I seriously can’t thank Nate enough! I was totally stuck when my original sitter canceled last minute, and he swooped in and saved the day. He was super easy to communicate with, kept me updated the whole time, and sent the sweetest photo updates that made me feel so much better. When he brought my dog back, she almost didn’t even want to come with me. that’s how much she loved being with him! It’s clear he really cares about the dogs he watches. I’m beyond grateful and will 100% be asking for his help again. Thanks Nate ♥️”

“Jill, Tommy and their dog Trixie are amazing and everything you hope for, and then some, and can’t recommend enough. Thank you Jill and Tommy for being so great, I know Asher enjoyed it very much!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have a sweet 12 year old who also loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. I work from home most of the time some short windows of time out of the home. I have fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work from home most of the week alongside my almost 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, leash walks around the neighborhood, and trips to our local dog park. While I’m usually home, I do step out occasionally for work meetings (up to 3–4 hours at a time). My setup is very dog-friendly! I have a fully fenced-in yard lined with extra mesh security for smaller pups, plus baby gates downstairs to keep everyone safe and nearby while I work.

“Haley was terrific! Very very accommodating and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog absolutely had a great time. Loved Haley and clearly was in great shape when I came to pick her up. I would definitely use Haley again!”

Elizabeth L.

“Cindy was so welcoming and thoughtful with my pup. Booking with Cindy was my first experience using a Rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dog with someone new. Cindy offered to hold a meet and greet — she was patient, supportive, and really took time to get to know my dog, asked insightful questions, and gave her space to warm up to her new surroundings. I’ve already shared Cindy’s info with others for possible booking and plan to book with her again in the future.”

Stephanie L.

“I trust Gabriel with Molly because he is kind, considerate, and really pays attention to her. She likes his dog, Kira, so that's also a bonus. I love it when he is available to take her!!”

Nat C.

“Scott took great care of Cheyenne and gave her extra love during thunderstorms. He has a beautiful property and Cheyenne had a great time playing with his pups.”

Dan S.

“Jamie was great! I received lots of updates while I was away, and she was very accommodating with a fairly last minute booking when my other sitter had to cancel. I’d definitely recommend her services, and would love to book again myself!”

About: I've had about 3 years of experience doing pet sitting professionally, but I've been taking care of pets since childhood. I've mainly done work for neighbors or friends, and I've taken care of dogs big and small as well as cats. I've cared for pets who've had various conditions such as arthritis, cataracts, blindess, and deafness, and have experience administering time-sensitive medicine. Also, although I have not taken the steps to get certified as a trainer, I have helped assist a dog trainer many times and have experience in caring for "rowdy" or hyperactive pets. I'm currently a student, but have plenty of time available throughout the day! My schedule is most open during the morning (8am-10am), afternoon (2pm-5pm) and late night hours (8pm-11pm). But, if your pet needs care midday or during the evenings, I can be flexible and adjust accordingly. I make sure to treat your pets as if they were my own. I save any and all written or spoken instructions from owners to make sure pets are given care they are comfortable with and used to. When doing drop-ins, feeding and playing with pets are included. If requested I can also bathe and administer medicine to pets. When walking dogs, I spend 30-60 minutes with them depending on the pet and owner's requests and can walk them as many times a day as needed (within reason). Also, I can accomodate any personal preferences in regards to putting pets in crates, letting them in the backyard, etc. I'll also send picture updates of your pet after I'm done with every visit. I'm always open to questions and requests!

“Molly was absolutely amazing! “Fenced in yard” does not do her place justice. Her yard was our dog’s dream. Beautifully grassed and open for running around. Our puppy loved her puppy and she sent so many photos and videos of them playing together. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Rachael M.

“Cinthya was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last minute booking with special arrangements. She took great care of our Coco and kept us posted with pictures and updates during her entire stay. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.
