“I can't say enough about Lacie!!! She is absolutely excellent. We use her whenever we go out of town and never worry about our Emma. We know she is treated as well or even better than at home. Lacie is amazing.”
“My dog had the vacation of a lifetime with Debbie. He became friends with her borzoi, Robin. She took good care of my dog and sent pics along the way. I was nervous leaving him because he is an older dog, but there was no need to worry. I would highly recommend her.”
“I would definitely leave my pup with Ashley again, in fact, I'm so glad I have someone I can count on to take care of my dog when needed. Asha was a bit reluctant to be in a new space with new people (as she always is), but Ashley went above and beyond to help Asha feel safe and comfortable. Thank you, Ashley!”
“So thankful Diane was able to watch Bootsie for a couple of days. I can tell she treated her as if she was her own. Boots got taken on a walk, had a huge yard to sniff around in, and I got multiple pictures throughout her stay.”
“Liz and Logan were such amazing pet sitters! We booked with them a couple weeks before our trip and quickly arranged a meet up to ensure everyone got along. I was thrilled to find a sitter nearby that would take our pup for 12 days with such short notice. Our dog was so well taken care of and we got updates the entire time. I love how they work from home and have a fenced in yard, it was nice to know they were spending lots of time together. They even allowed him on furniture and to sleep in bed with them. I would highly recommend them for any of your pet needs!”
“Fantastic service. Beautiful country home with huge yard. Sent us photo updates 4 different times. Will use again any chance we get. Thanks again. Danny was so comfortable and super happy.”
“Absolutely perfect sitter! I received constant updates and photos while my dog was away. He was taken on runs, and seemed to always be on a new outdoor adventure. If you’re in the Asheville area and looking for someone to watch your pup, look no further! Will definitely rebook if I’m back in town. Thanks again!”
“Alexandra and her dog, Penny, were great with our dog, Snickers! Snickers finally met his match as far as attitude and backtalk from a dog 😂 Alexandra sent us pictures throughout his stay and was super communicative. We will definitely be using Alexandra again for boarding and maybe even future doggy daycare!”
“Toni is fantastic. She went over and above to make sure that our senior dog had the best care - giving her meds and lots of extra snuggles. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend Toni!”
About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remeber. People ask me to help them with their pets all the time. Your pets are part of your family. I will treat them as the treasures they are. I am available every day from 7:30 am to 7 pm. With those hours it gives me a lot of time to keep your fur baby entertained and fed. I know that for my own clan of animals that I prefer to board them at home. I like to offer the same service to my clients. Kenneling at home keeps your pet comfortable in surroundings they are used to. I can swing by to feed them, walk them, and just keep them company at least twice a day.
“Terri was amazing with our very active pup. She sent daily pictures and updates while we were away he was clean and healthy when we pick him up. They are great and loving people and I highly recommend them!!”
“We highly recommend Calvin as a dog sitter. Our dog Stella loves going there. Calvin is great with sending pictures and updates. She has stayed 2 times with him and each has been a great experience. Last time she was there she didn’t want to leave! She stayed by the front door and wouldn’t budge as we coaxed her into the car. It is easy leaving town knowing she is well cared for.”
“My Basil Boi stayed with Christina for 3 days of boarding. She was very understanding and welcoming. Basil is skittish and timid however enjoys other dogs hence I selected Christina because she has her own personal dog. Christina has a fabulous backyard for the dogs to run and play. Christina was very attentive, sent plenty of pictures, texts and updates. Basil had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
“Lauren, her husband Cole, and their pack of pups are the most welcoming family! I felt totally comfortable leaving Frankie with them, and my pup came home as happy as he left after 2 days! There is a huge yard for them to run around and play, and the love of the pups comes through with Lauren. Frankie is asking when he can go back and play.”
About: I am a farm girl from way back, and have been around animals of all kinds since I was a child. As my children were growing up we always had cats and a dog in the house.

“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
“My dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Marnette, David, and Gouda. This was the first time we had our dog stay with someone who we didn’t know personally. I was nervous, but Marnette and David took very good care of our dog. They are trustworthy and kind. We appreciated check-ins and pictures in the morning and at night. Highly recommend!”
“Keily went above and beyond or expectations! We received daily check ins with pictures and videos. The environment she provided was excellent for our high energy dog with several walks and activities to meet the demand or dog needed. It felt like our pup was on her own vacation and apart of her family. We are so happy to have found Keily and will be utilizing her services in the future. 10/10 recommended.”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Julie! She is extremely responsible, always reliable, and loves my dog like one of her own. This is the first time we did an in-home stay for our large, goofy lab. The peace of mind we have knowing he is so well taken care of is invaluable. I highly recommend Julie.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Penrose can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Penrose home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Penrose.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Penrose sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
