“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!”
“Laura took incredible care of our dog and our home. She sent updates and photos and our dog was very happy and our house was in perfect shape when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend and will book again - thank you, Laura!”
“Sonya was great! She stayed with our dog Moose and our gecko Spike. She sent so many wonderful photos and communicated throughout. We really appreciate her taking such good care of them both.”
“Hannah was very communicative and seemed to have a deep care for all of my animals. I received regular updates, as well as updates when anything unusual occurred (which only happened once, thankfully!). I felt secure knowing my animals were being looked after by Hannah.”
“Jordan is such a wonderful pet sitter! My girls love her, she leaves the place cleaner than when she arrived and sends tons of fun updates and pictures while she’s here. You can also immediately tell she’s a kind and caring person in general. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
“Mandolyn was wonderful! She's very comfortable around animals and is incredibly knowledgeable. Our pets loved having her around, and we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing our animals were safe and cared for. Mandolyn's communication is excellent and we got the perfect amount of updates on our pets. Will absolutely book her again!”
“Wow! Natalia was a dream. This was our first experience with Rover. We had an unexpected emergent trip out of town and needed someone to watch our 4 babies. Yes, you read that right , 4! Natalia came to our house before hand and meet all the babies and they were really taken with here. We immediately felt comfortable with her and once we left out of town she was a dream. She texted us pictures every day multiple times and walked our babies twice a day. In our time of duress Natalia was a great relief for us. For certain if and when we need sitting services Natalia will be our girl.”
“Heather did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated with lots of photos and regular communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Any concerns or questions were communicated promptly, and she was always professional and responsive. When we returned home, our animals were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they had received plenty of attention and love. Heather was also incredibly respectful of our home, furniture, and belongings, leaving everything in great condition. I would not hesitate to book Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Heather, for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies! 🐾❤️”
“Kathy was simply amazing 🤩 my Brady felt safe and very happy he got lots of hugs and kisses Kathy left my house spotless we all loved her and hopefully use her services again 😘😘😘😘😘😘”
“We used to worry so much whenever we had to leave our animals, especially after some bad boarding experiences. Alex completely changed that for us. He met our pets exactly where they were—patiently earning the trust of our high-anxiety mutt and our shy, one-person-only cat. From the very first meet and greet, we could tell he truly cared. During his three days and nights with them, Alex went above and beyond: sending us photos at feeding time, opening the blinds for their morning sun, putting on TV for them, and paying attention to all the little details that mean the world to us. If you want peace of mind while you’re away, and someone who will love your animals the way you do, Alex is the one. We truly can’t thank him enough for doing what he loves and doing it so well!!”
“Donna is absolutely amazing!! In addition to being super friendly, she is flexible, accommodating, and eager to love on your fur babies! She took great care of Oreo, and I am so thankful to have found a reliable, kind, and loving sitter. Even in the chaos of my life, she was ready and willing to help at a moments notice. Oreo had a ride to the park, slept in bed, and had plenty of perfect attention!”
“Ava was an excellent sitter for Lupe while we were away for over a week. She kept me informed and responded quickly to my questions. I was worried about Lupe's joint problem but was pleased to find that she was not limping at all when I returned. She seemed very happy and not stressed at all. I would definitely recommend Ava as a sitter.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have been helping my mom with her dog sitting for half my life. I’ve also helped out family friends with check-ins, walks, and overnights! I’m currently at college and looking for some work to fill up my routine, I also miss my dogs and cat at home so I know helping care for others is what I need! I’m here to make sure your pet is fed and happy! I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to give them comfort, food and water, or medication if needed, provide walks, playtime, and all the attention! I’m able to watch their behavior so I can notice and changes if something were to be wrong, and treat them with kindness and patience, as if they were my own.
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.
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
“We went to the beach for an entire week and had Kyla come stay at our house. We have a Great Dane, German Shepard, and two cats. Our Great Dane is elderly and has some mobility issues so we were nervous to leave her. Kyla was AWESOME! She took amazing care of our zoo and sent DAILY updates with pictures. She brought in our mail everyday and even keep up our floor so we didn't come home to fur everywhere. Kyla was flexible and accommodating, and it is clear she really cares for all animals. I would HIGHLY recommend Kyla and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have been pet sitting for a while now. I love to bring them to my place if they need more attention. We have a dog park at my apartment for them to be social and run around. My cat doesn’t mind other animals. I also love house sitting. I am open to taking your pets to the vet/ groomers if appointments are made. I also would run to pets mart with them for you if you needed things picked up. I’m not picky about my car so they can sit in the seat/ their crate/ or their bed on my car seats. I am very flexible and I am willing to work with whatever you may need. I look forward to seeing ya’ll and meeting the furry ones! I work from home, so I’m home almost 24/7 and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care and companionship they’re used to. Because I work from home, your pet will have someone around for most of the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m comfortable with crating when requested and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, calming environment! (+ fun!)

The average cost of House Sitting in Stony Fork is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Stony Fork walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stony Fork maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stony Fork choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
