“We appreciate her always being willing to work with us on drop off and pick up times! Yes, she works around her schedule, but she takes yours into consideration too and it helps take the stress out of boarding when you’re trying to make it work with travel plans, etc.”

“Shirley and Jeff made our 7 days vacation enjoyable and worry free by sending updates and pictures everyday. They gave full attention, Love, care and made the stay enjoyable for our little dogs. Bonnie and Wesley enjoyed there mini vacation with there new found grandma and grandpa. We definitely look forward for our dogs staycation with Shirley and Jeff.”

“Amazing was my 1st time having to use a boarding she was able to take buddy last minute she sent me pics and was all above amazing I will never use a boarding place except for her she is the best”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Brooke! I loved the pictures and videos she sent each day, and my dog absolutely enjoyed himself in her care. She was incredibly sweet and reassuring, and she was great with my dog, Apollo. She was always quick to respond and sent plenty of updates. 10/10 would recommend, and we plan to use her services in the future!”

“Katie and Jeremy are absolutely wonderful- they have watched our dog a few times, and every time has been 10/10. They treat him like gold, and honestly probably give him even more love than we do at home… it’s evident in all the much-appreciated pictures they send. As people who have used Rover for many years, and received care from many different people, Katie and Jeremy are by far the best people we have been lucky enough to come across!!! <3”

“I can’t say enough good things about Samantha and her daughter. They were wonderful with my 11 year old pug and sent pictures to show me how he was doing during his three day stay with them. He loved making new furry and human friends and I will definitely be asking Samantha if he can come play with them again.”

“I can't even express how much I appreciate Lorna taking such great care of Jasper. It's hard to really know if your pet is being taken care of when you leave them but I can tell by how he reacts when I get him back that he was treated very well. She always sends pics and videos that shows me he's thriving. This was my second time using Lorna and even though it's a bit of a drive for me it's worth it to know she treats him like her own.”
“Jesse did a great job taking care of our large mixed breed. She can be an anxious dog but she seems to have really settled down with Jesse. He sent us regular updates and pics to let us know how things were going. We will definitely be using Jesse again in the future.”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of our Goldendoodle Daphne for two nights. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we enjoyed a family vacation at Great Wolf. She was very communicative and friendly. We will definitely use her again when we return to GW! This was our first experience with Rover and our first experience with our dog being left in the care of someone else. Elizabeth helped keep our anxiety way down!”

“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.

“I wasn’t worried at all leaving my dog here for the three days they kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the days I was gone. Once I picked my dog up they had a little goodie bag with a thank you card, pictures of my dog, and treats. Such nice and caring people.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint James
We love bringing our dogs to Rose's house. She loves dogs and is so good with them. We have one large dog and one small dog. Our small one is neurotic and needs extra patience. Rose tends to her with the patience she requires. She sends us videos once a day and pictures which is relieving when you're away and worried about your doggies being comfortable! I love that she has a bunch of her own dogs because it makes my little neurotic one feel more comfortable as well. Rose follows our instructions on feeding and little things that I ask her to do like wiping my doggy's eyes or following our feeding time schedule. Our dogs are always happy when they come back as they basically were just at camp! They never come back with any issues like we have experienced at other sitters. We are thankful we found her. She is our go-to sitter in Tennessee. She also makes the best healthy doggie treats that my dogs love!

We’ve now been using Rose for nearly a year and a half, and we continue to be so grateful to her for the care she gives our dogs! They come home clean, happy, and loved! We also appreciate her communication. She’s quick to get back with us and shares photos and updates while we are away, making our time more enjoyable because we aren’t worried about our pets. She has a great setup at her home that gives the dogs plenty of time outside. Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Saint James 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 Saint James.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Saint James 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 TN 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.
