“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away visiting family. She played with them and loved on them and kept everything very clean! Would recommend and would use her services again!”
About: I have taken care of several breeds of dogs and feel very comfortable around dogs 100lbs and under. I myself have a 12lb toy Aussie and a 60lb pitbull/lab so I am use to taking care of a variety of breeds, weights, and different needs. I am open to any recommendations you have concerning your pet as you are the one who knows them best! I have a flexible work schedule and love to help out other pet owners as much as I can! I am available for early mornings, mid day, and even late night walks! I am comfortable with video chats, check in phone calls, and whatever else I can do to make sure you feel safe leaving your pet in my care!
“Alex is great! I needed a last minute drop in sitter for my cat and he did an awesome job! He is super punctual and communicative and did everything I asked for. I got lots of updates and pics which I always love! I will definitely book him in the future!!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals from dogs and cats to chickens and so caring for pets has been second nature for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I have volunteered at multiple animal rescue centers and was able to rescue and raise 2 wonderful dogs who were a huge part of our lives until they passed. More recently, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter through TrustedHouseSitters, where homeowners regularly rely on me to care for both their homes and their beloved animals while they’re away. Whether your pet needs dedicated supervision, routine medications, or overnight care, I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I’d give my own. What I Offer Active Dog Walking All Ages & Sizes: Comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to large dogs up to 110 pounds. Specialized Care: Experienced in oral and topical medication administration, house sitting, and maintaining consistent daily schedules. Peace of Mind: Honest, dependable care for both your pets and your home while you're away. I'm currently working remote in a contract capacity and so my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means that I can adapt my work schedule around your pet's needs! My husband, Jeff, and I have a clean, safe, non-smoking, multi-level home in East Asheville North Carolina. with a small unfenced yard. My home is close to trails and walking paths so me and your beloved pet will have plenty of opportunities to get our daily exercise. When your pet is staying in my home they will have free reign of the home if that's something they're accustomed to! However, if your furry friend has limitations such as crate training requirements, we can certainly accommodate that too! I currently have no other pets, so your pet would be king or queen of the house during thier stay!
“Gabrielle is absolutely fantastic. She was on time, provided detailed check ins and photos, went out of her way to be extra attentive to our fur baby! Over all we were extremely happy with the level of care provided! Highly recommend booking with her.”
“Ellie was great! She took great care of our cats, including giving medication. She took great pictures of the kitties which helped with how much we missed them. She demonstrated a lot of affection for the cats.”
“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I have an Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, intelligent dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment! I’m an Occupational Therapist and have spent years working in healthcare, so being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsible is a huge part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. I’m very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a quick potty break to a long walk for dogs who need to burn some energy. I also offer drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, and plenty of attention and cuddles for pets who prefer a more relaxed visit. As a dog owner who has used pet sitters myself, I know how much peace of mind updates can provide. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog wants to walk three miles, play fetch until my arm falls off, or just have someone hang out with them on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 One thing you can count on: I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)
About: Experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I provide loving, reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and safe. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need. I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own pet. During drop-ins, I give lots of love, playtime, and make sure all their needs are met. Walks are safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s energy level. I also keep you updated so you never have to worry.
“Kyle was fantastic! I had a good feeling as soon as I felt his firm handshake. He is very caring, attentive and a great communicator, clear and timely. Kyle was kind and understanding about my anxiety leaving my cat, and he made sure to be in touch and send lots of photos and updates. A truly wonderful pet-sitter!”
About: I've taken care of just about every animal since I was born. Especially cats and dogs but I've also taken care of reptiles, fish, chickens, rats, gerbils, hamsters, and even bugs. I've handled difficult dog breeds including pitbulls and preydriven rottweilers in a cat home. I am also not shy to pee or poop or any sick pets as I've been in and out of the vets offices as well. Im looking to possibly make this full time. So I am available just about whenever you need me to be there. This includes weekends as well. I am very pet friendly and enjoy being interactive no matter the species. Whether it's letting the crickets run so the bearded dragon can get some exercise or walking the puppy around the yard.
About: Ive always adored animals with my whole heart. They are my passion and my purpose. I have owned dogs all my life of different kinds. I am now on the road traveling and constantly trying to find ways to connect and spend time with animals while continuing to fuel my passion of exploring this beautiful world:) I am building my own skincare business while on the road always moving, always preparing to stay anywhere needed. Flow where the animals take me:) Always will play with toys, lots of energy, and cuddles when open & accepted. Can bathe, feed, go on walks, and any house service thats needed. Love to stay busy if I can help out
“Laura was an excellent choice for taking care of Freda. She met up with us first a couple of days before to get to know us, which was a positive event. When the day came for her to take Freda for a walk, she showed up on the agreed time and walk. We received pictures of the walk and time spent. Much appreciated! Would hire again!”
“Mandolyn was absolutely fantastic! She made quick friends with both of our kitties and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. Only way we'll ever book a different rover is if she's unavailable.”
About: I believe that pets deserve an abundance of respect and understanding, as well as optimal attention and care. In general, I tend to feel more comfortable around dogs and cats than people and treat them all with dignity, respect, and love. I have had decades of experience with a variety of pets, from blind pugs to anxious mutts to timid cats and everything in between. I believe pets must be addressed on their own level and met where they are. As a middle-aged woman with many responsibilities and experiences, I am adept at managing a wide variety of pet tasks with conscientiousness and skill. You can be confident that your dogs and cats will be in safe and loving hands with me while you are away. I am a freelance writer and work only part-time from home, so I have an abundance of time to be fully in the moment with your pets and provide them quality care, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I have a wonderful husband who loves animals and 16-year old son (who also adores animals), and a 20-year-old son studying at Chapel Hill, who helps me with the dogs in my care when he is home for the summer and on breaks. Currently, I have a wonderful, small group of regular dogs who come for daycare most days of the week. I always make sure prospective dogs are a good fit with the group to ensure safety and an optimal experience for all the dogs. We love meeting new dogs and welcome having new playmates here at "Camp Dewdog." These guys have so much fun here, romp around the yard, hide in the shrubery, zoom around the porch, and go on walks in our Montford neighborhood to see the goats and chickens down the street or to the Reed's Creek Greenway, or Hummingbird Park. There's never a dull moment here, except when the pups are sacked out on our porch swing bed or lounging in the house on the sheepskin rugs. Your pets will be cared for with the same dedication and attentiveness as with my own pets. Dogs can either roam and lounge in our large Victorian home or frolic in our lush fenced yard and porch. Montford is also a lovely neighborhood to go on walks with dogs, with lots of parks nearby, resident goats and chickens down the street at our friends' house, and Reed's Creek Greenway just around the corner.

Shannon did a great job checking in on Peaches! She made sure Peaches got outside for a potty break and spent time playing with her before she left. I really appreciate knowing Peaches is getting some much needed attention while I’m away at work. I would definitely recommend Shannon and would be happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montreat is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $19 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,034 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montreat. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montreat. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
