“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“Stacy is a great pet sitter. She was right at home with our dog, Pisco. She communicated well before and throughout her stay. She walked, fed, and played with him. She is kind, friendly, and trustworthy. We returned home to a clean house and a happy dog. I'd recommend Stacy to care for your loved furry family member.”
“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”
“Susan was a very organized and competent sitter. We could feel her keen interest in meeting our requests and needs while we were away. We received daily updates and great pictures as well as a very clean home upon return. We have already planned another get away.”
“Morisa was amazing and Shadow loves her. She took him on lots of walks and took the best care of our boy. She also gave lots of picture updates which we always appreciate!”
“Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. She is caring and down to earth, friendly, happy and “gets it.” Left my house sparkling and my animals smiling. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Hayley was amazing with our sensitive 3 year old Coonhound, Olive. It was unique circumstances in that Hurricane Helene had hit the area a few days before, and things felt understandably chaotic in WNC. Hayley did a great job of communicating with us, and sending us photos. We are so grateful to her that we could still make our planned trip to a friend's wedding. Thank you Hayley!”
“Jackie did a great job house sitting and watching my cat, Penny. She is quick to reply to messages, sent photos every day, and left the apartment super clean! I would recommend her highly and will use her services again!!”
“Sarah took great care of our sweet pup! We felt extremely comfortable knowing Bailey was in good hands. We came home to a happy doggie and our house looked better than when we left. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs. We will definitely ask her again.”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
“Luna can be a bit funny with new people, being pretty anxious and not wanting to be petted. Hannah was patient with Luna, adjusting as needed to try to keep Luna as comfortable and less stressed as possible. Eventually, Luna calmed down and was sleeping in the bed with Hannah and allowing pets, which means she was finally comfortable with Hannah. The daily updates with pictures gave me peace of mind while I was away from my pup, too! I will for sure use Hannah again for future dogsitting needs!”
“Kate was great! She kept me in the know giving me daily updates, sent me lots of pictures, and loved my pups like her own! She respected our house and kept in touch. I would recommend her and will be using her again!!”
“Constance was an excellent house sitter and friend to my sweet Quincy while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. She left my apartment cleaner than when I left. Thank you Constance for your care and attention! Quincy had a great time with you!”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I’ve personally taken care of puppies, senior dogs, cats, rodents, and animals with special needs.

I can come over before and after that and am completely free for overnight stays when needed :) I always keep a close watch on pets to keep them out of trouble, especially when outside. I’m comfortable with anything from crates to couch cuddles and will be sure to be consistent with your rules/norms. (I only pet sit at owners home).
“Denisse is a wonderful, down to earth, gentle person. My two dogs and were well loved and cared for while we were gone. They all seemed happy and healthy upon our return. Would book again!”
“Natasha was a dream petsitter. Easy communication, positive vibes, and clearly competent with the dog/cats. She’s quick to respond, very communicative, sends tons of pictures, and responsible. I would recommend her to anybody looking to make your vacation as stress free as possible. Thank you Natasha!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. I will be new to the Asheville area, so I am only currently available on weekends. However, I will be available full time once I complete my move in June! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!

Skyland pet parents share their Rover experiences
We just LOVE Megan! You will not find someone more attentive to your pet’s needs! Her communication while we are away gives us total peace of mind so we can completely enjoy our vacation. She loves on our pets with her whole heart and she leaves our home immaculate - washed linens and vacuumed the day she left (beyond what we would expect). Thanks so much for another great experience, Megan!!
Susan was great! She stepped in last minute despite having a full schedule, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. Over my 3-day trip, she sent thorough end-of-day updates complete with tons of photos and detailed descriptions. I never had a single worry while I was away. She also handled my animals’ various medications without a hitch, which gave me so much peace of mind. All three of my pets were happy and clearly well cared for both in the pictures and when I got home. I would absolutely book with Susan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative pet sitter!
Erica dog and house sat for 2 weeks. Ghillie (a 10yo bird dog) was relaxed and happy when we returned home. She walked him regularly and kept to his usual routine. He got along great with her pup Rigatoni, which is saying something as he is used to being solo dog in the house and can be wary of other large dogs. House was as clean and tidy when we returned as when we left. She brought in all mail and packages.
Amy was fantastic! She took excellent care of our aging french bulldog over Thanksgiving. He required an ER visit on Thanksgiving day and Amy spent the entire day with him never leaving his side. She was very attentive and caring during her stay with him and feel totally comfortable using her again. I highly recommend using her for your pets' care.
Heather is a great pet and home sitter! She really attached herself to our aging frenchie and was able to deal with all of his medications as well as care and love for an older dog. She bent over backwards to accommodate his and our needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet which typically is really another family member!
Jamie is a True Gem! Sarama (Basenji) and Jin( Oriental Siamese) were lovingly and conscientiously cared for. Jamie is a natural communicator, sending pictures, asking relevant questions, and anticipating what care needs might arise. We felt at ease and confident that our fur babies were being loved and cared for :)
