“Ann & Jaren are fantastic. It definitely made our trip easier knowing that our dog was in loving hands. The picture updates were a nice a touch. Ann & Jaren will be our go-to for any future travels.”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Rocky had a wonderful vacay at Connie & Ron's house. They gave him lots of TLC and treated Rocky very well. I will definitely book Rocky's dog vacay with them in the future.”
“Carlina was fantastic with Coco! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Coco got along so well with Carlina's dog and seemed to have a wonderful time. Carlina gave her plenty of snuggles, treats, and attention, and it was clear that Coco was very well cared for. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Carlina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“When I say this is the best sitter I’ve had my doodle comes back hydrated looking and smelling fresh and clean and most of all happy I appreciate the offer and beyond you are very kind and we are thankful Kay & Koko”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“Great environment for dog boarding! Two separate fenced in areas and lots of love. KaLynn took lots of photos and it was obvious our pup was happy and having a great time playing with the other dogs. Will definitely use KaLynn again!”
“My 2 little papillons came home from an overnight stint with Deborah so happy and healthy. Deborah will be my go-to sitter from now on. She stayed in touch and I felt confident knowing they were in good hands. This was an xlnt experience in every way.”
“This was our second time leaving our doggie with Erika and Megan and it was as great , smooth and overall very positive experience like the first time. They’re so good at communicating and sharing updates while we were away. We have already booked our next boarding needs :)”
“Lacie is amazing! Our 2 year old Cockapoo Otis has been going to her house for the past 3+ months for both day care and overnight visits. Lacie is kind and very intuitive with animals. She provided Otis with a wonderful home environment while we were away. He absolutely loves playing with her son and her own friendly pets. Thank you Lacie for all the wonderful care you gave our pup!”
“Laura took such good care of our dog during our trip! She sent daily pictures and updates which helped us feel at ease. She has a great yard for dogs to run around and our dog had the best time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kristin was a lifesaver. I had booked weeks in advance with another rover sitter that went unresponsive and booked with Kristin in a panic same day. She sent daily updates and was extremely communicative and professional. I could tell Ruby had a great time when I picked her up.”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Katie & Jeremy are great with our girl! They provide excellent care & keep us updated on how she's doing. We're already planning our next trip & plan to ask them if they'll take care of her for us then.”
“Rick is our go-to dog care for our nervous (but sweet) Sheltie. He takes such great care of him and communicates extremely well about how he’s doing on his stay. We love Rick!”
“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“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.”
“So glad we found Robin to take care of our 3 year old (very attached) dachshund, Elvis, for a weekend we were out of town. Robin kept us updated daily with pictures and videos and I felt so comfortable and relieved that he was in good hands. Robin's dog, Winston, was a sweet playmate for our pup too. Elvis came home happy as ever. Thanks so much, Robin!”

“Alexis was very attentive to all 3 of our cats. Made sure everything was well taken care for them. After each visit she made sure to send us pictures to let’s know how they were. Took care of them as if they were her own. We highly recommend Alexis ! We definitely will book her again in the future!”

“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter”
About: I've lived with cats my entire life, including a few special needs cats, and have 2 of my own currently. I've given medication of all kinds, including insulin, and my two cats get an inhaler once a day. I feel very confident taking care of cats, and take care of my parents and friends cats.
“Jennie is absolutely wonderful! She is so thorough with every visit and her communication is incredible. She gives the most detailed summaries and tons of photos along with them. She is so flexible and even went the extra mile to help us navigate getting home safely during the storm. I’d choose her again and again to care for my babies.”
“I was very lucky to find Elizabeth. I interviewed a few. She took good care of my kitties and house sat for me. She was conscientious,mature, reliable, and gave me peace of mind. Sent cute pics of kitties interacting and was also neat with the house. I will be using Elizabeth again. 🥰”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful; communicative, responsible, and obviously has a deep love for animals. My kitty warmed up to Alex immediately and knowing she was in good hands eased my anxiety while I was away. I will absolutely book with Alex again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for many animals since I was young. The majority of them being dogs! I love all animals. I’ve dog sat, walked, and cared for dogs and other animals on and off and I want to do more now. I currently have full time for this if needed, I’m trying to look for a new part time job so I can do this and the other job. Whenever I’m needed I’ll be happy to take care of your pet! I will care for your pets when I get to your home and make sure they get the best care possible. And of course make sure they are loved.
“Ashley was so great with Artic! Artic is a shy, geriatric cat and Ashley knew how to handle her. Artic was even giving her cuddles by the end! Ashley went over and above by also cleaning up any accidents Artic might’ve had. I would totally recommend ashley and use her again!”

About: First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals! Even as a kid, I would only accompany my mother to visit her friends, who had dogs or cats in their home. I appreciate, respect, and can relate to the bond humans have with their pets. They are very much family and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your fur baby comfortable, relaxed, and content, in our home or yours, while you're away. We only board 2 dogs at a time, to ensure a quiet, calm, and more relaxing stay, and have a large fenced in backyard for playtime. Dogs staying with us must be house trained. We also have a cat, who loves to play with dogs, so to ensure his safety, any dogs boarding with us must be cat friendly. Some of my previous work experience includes 4 years as a veterinary assistant and I'm comfortable with administering medication, if needed. I have dog training experience and have even trained two of our own to become registered therapy dogs. Together, we serve our community by providing pet therapy in shelters for domestic violence victims, assisted living facilities, our local university, in elementary schools, and wherever she's needed. I currently work with German Shepherd Rescue organizations, assessing temperaments/behavior, conducting home visits, and fostering. We live near the airport, which makes it ideal for dropping off and picking up when traveling for work or going on vacation. Several of my clients leave their babies with us when leaving the country. In addition to dog sitting for many friends and family members over the years, I've also taken care of cats, horses, goats, and even iguanas! I can't wait to provide extra love, play time, and affection for your fur baby, too! I work from home and we have one dog and a cat. I closely supervise any dogs that are our guests here and can provide potty breaks as frequently as needed. Any pets staying with us are supervised inside and out. Our yard is large and fenced in, so it's a great place for play sessions. For drop in visits, I customize it to the owner's wishes and dog's needs.
“Ann & Jaren took such great care of my Lottie girl when I was on vacation to NYC! They kept me up to date with lots of pictures; being that this was the first time we were apart for this long, I really appreciated the photos and care she received. She was in great hands and I 100% will be using them in the future! Thanks again 😊”
“KaLyn is the best! We used her for Doggie daycare while we enjoyed the sights of Asheville and Biltmore Estste. She sent pictures frequently of all the fun our fur baby Cooper was having. It made us feel better kno”
“Stephanie was very sweet and patient with my baby and I am so appreciative. She sent me updates throughout the day which I enjoyed. She was accommodating to my hectic schedule.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would. I travel for work and I am always worried about what to do with my dog Gromit. Keily went way up and beyond what I was expecting. Absolutely perfect experience and I feel very comfortable booking revisits. I highly recommend.”
“I hadn't left Chloe with anyone for over three years, so finding a dog sitter was a big event in our life. She and I spend every day, all day together, so I was like a mama dropping her child for their first day of kindergarten. But Chloe had such a positive meet and greet, she couldn't wait to return! During our initial meeting, Rayana let Chloe thoroughly explore her house, which thrilled her as she's part hound dog and her nose demands she smell every crack and crevice. When Rayana invited her up on the sofa and gave her a pillow, Chloe looked at me like, omg, are you seeing this?! Nobody lets me up on their couch but you, mom! The cherry on top was when Rayana proceeded to give her lots of hugs and kisses and praise. We had a wonderful chat, after which Chloe discovered the doggie door and the yard, and I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get her to leave! When we returned for doggy daycare I was feeling emotional and worried I might start blubbering, but within a minute of arriving, Chloe was so excited to be there that I couldn't get her attention to tell her I was leaving! It made all the difference to know she was with someone who would love on her like I do. Chloe was a rescue who had a traumatic start in life, and I never imagined I would find someone who'd give her the kind of love and attention that has helped her heal and flourish. I can't recommend Rayana more highly. She is definitely a dog whisperer who clearly loves her four legged friends. ❤️”
“Alyssa and Bryan took such great care of our two girls and they have come back happy and tired both times we’ve sent them! They kept us updated with photos and letting us know what they had been up to. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Zoe and Riley and I’m very happy to have found them to take care of my crew. They have a great space and yard for the dogs to play and explore, which was a big draw for me. Will definitely book them again!”
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting and 10 months as a foster caregiver.I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail. For some of are couch potato friends, we have a nice spacious apartment with pet approved couch to lay on and just enjoy a relaxing, quite place! As for my furry friends that ill be sitting for at there place, I like to give them plenty of play time in there space and yards. Along with nice long walks through the neighborhood! Attention to detail, and love is what I thrive for when taking care of your pet!
“Tabitha and Mrs. Zane were Godsends! They agreed to watch our pup super last minute after our sitter fell through. We cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again when we’re back in town!!”
“Nate was extremely awesome and amazing. First of all, he’s a really great guy and I felt completely comfortable. Leaving my two beloved dogs with him.. his dog Bilbo is amazing and so adorable. Bill gets along with all dogs.. Nate’s backyard is amazing and perfect and shaded. It has a lot of shade for Hot North Carolina days. He was very attentive to my dogs when I had a concern about my female during the day.. he really knows how to handle an acclimate dogs. I highly recommend him.. I never worried about leaving my dogs with him while I was at a very long all day class for three days. When we go back to Asheville if Nate is available, I will definitely ask him to watch my dogs again..”
“Golda took great care of Maggie while my husband and I went on a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains NP (no dogs allowed)😢. Maggie was smiling when we picked her up and it looked like she had a great time!”
“Kristin was wonderful! We reached out with a last-minute request as our pet sitter for a wedding fell through and she was extremely accommodating. Our dog, Trooper, had never been watched by anyone outside of family before so we were a little nervous but he was in great hands! We would highly recommend!”
About: As a remote Registered Nurse (RN), I bring a clinical eye to pet care. I notice subtle changes in behavior or health that others might miss. I’m comfortable administering medications in any form, from pills to inhalers, and my own pets are on daily medication routines so it’s second nature. My background in farming gave me hands-on experience with animal health and handling, and I’ve worked with my own dogs on training from puppyhood. I’m home all day, every day, so your dog gets constant attention and care, not just a place to play and sleep. I work from home Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day. I have lots of time for walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and my job allows me to step away whenever your pup needs attention. I can work from my office or the couch, wherever your dog is most comfortable. On my days off I tend to stay close to home, and if I do need to run an errand I won’t be gone long and can always accommodate you and your dog’s needs. I share my home with three animals who are very well loved. Haddie is my 7 year old spayed terrier mix, about 22 pounds, and my two cats are Zuzu, a spayed senior, and June, who is 4 years old and also spayed. Each of them has their own dietary and medical needs, so I’m already in the routine of specialized diets and medications. Your dog will fit right into that level of care. Haddie goes out every two to four hours and we walk together every day. There’s also plenty of backyard playtime. The backyard is not currently fenced, but a fence is going up soon. In the meantime I have a post with a long leash line in the yard and keep Haddie on a harness. I am always outside with her when using the leash line and never leave her unattended, and will do the same for your dog. My home is clean, open, and pet friendly. The furniture and beds are fair game for your dog. I do have a dedicated cat room with a gate that only the cats can fit through, so they always have their own safe space. All of my houseplants are pet safe as well. I also live at the end of a dead end street near the cul de sac, so it’s a quiet area with only local traffic and no busy roads nearby.
“Kharen was a great dog-sitter for our pup and provided pics throughout the day. Zilly came home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Kharen was also super flexible with us when we had some unexpected traffic that required extending pick up time. We really appreciated her and Zilly loved her! Thanks Kharen 😊”
“I would give Autumn and Josh 10 stars if I could!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not only did they do a great job with my pet, but they were quick to answer, and followed every request to accommodate my Gypsy's visit down to the most minute detail. They sent me 2 pictures in the short time she was there and went above and beyond to make her feel at home! I would highly recommend them!! ♥️♥️”
“Michelle was very responsive and attentive to our dogs during a daytime visit at her home. They are not boarded very often and it was comforting that she gave them the attention they needed. Would definitely use her again!”

“Bryan was great with our dog. He kept me posted on important details I might need to know about his time with her. He was great with responding quickly when I had questions. He was patient with our dog and very trustworthy. I’d hire him again if given the chance.”
“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”
“Denisse was so thorough! She even went the extra mile after walking our Miller and taking him to potty to pick up after him. We appreciate you so much for helping with our Miller man and for the extra pictures of him ?”
“SO RESPONSIBLE AND DEPENDABLE! When we leave our pets we are depending on walkers and sitters to be there for us and our pet….McKenzie covers all the bases. She came over to get the lay of the land and asked the right questions. Look no farther for a fantastic walker and great communicator!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.
“Jennie was wonderful with my elderly, blind dog Rand. They had a great walk, she's very patient with him as he moves really slow. She sent pictures and stayed at least the full half hour. I will certainly re book!”

“Alex is highly recommended by us and our dog, Duncan. Before finding Alex, we have never trusted the care of our dog or house to anyone. We can’t tell you how thankful we are for finding Alex!”
“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
About: I love dogs and wish that I could afford one of my own! I grew up with multiple dogs, big and small, cats too. I honestly love walking too so this seems like the perfect fit for me. I am a gentle and kind person who will take good care of your pup. I will take them on walks around town, hikes in the woods, or play a good game of fetch on the green!

I can't wait to meet you and your precious pup (or multiple pups)! Give me a bark when you're ready :)
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.
“I'm so happy to have met Alexis! She has been meshing so well with my dog in helping her practice calmness with new situations. I'm happy to see my pup making such good progress. It's just what she needed. Alexis has been wonderfully responsive to suggestions I've wanted to try and she has an innate understanding of animals, as well as a wonderful, calm energy.”

I can work walks or runs in with your pet during the week the week as well. I’d love to check on your pet in the comfort of their home, where all their favorite toys and treats are.

About: As a child I was always the person that was bringing home the lost and injured animals I came across. Not much has changed as an adult. I worked with a pet rescue for over a decade, unfortunately the rescue was dissolved but my love for animals has not faded. I have experience with many different species of pets, ranging in age from newborn and needing to be fed every 2 hours to senior animals that need extra care and patience. I am experienced in giving medicine, and providing all the love and attention your fur babies deserve. I am currently in a career transition and taking classes part time at a local college so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and make sure they have as much love as possible. I am very diligent in making sure all of your requests are followed to the letter. I personally have a dog that needs wiped after she potties to prevent UTIs and it is a deal breaking for me when I can tell a sitter has not followed my instructions. I understand that routine is important and strive to be a few minutes early for every appointment. I also understand that someone other than yourself caring for your beloved furbaby can be stressful for both you and them. I strive to ease as much of that stress for both parents and furchildren as possible. As a pet parent myself who also uses a sitter when I have to be away for any length of time, having that trusted sitter is life saving.
About: I’ve cared for many animals since I was young. The majority of them being dogs! I love all animals. I’ve dog sat, walked, and cared for dogs and other animals on and off and I want to do more now. I currently have full time for this if needed, I’m trying to look for a new part time job so I can do this and the other job. Whenever I’m needed I’ll be happy to take care of your pet! I will care for your pets when I get to your home and make sure they get the best care possible. And of course make sure they are loved.
About: I grew up caring for my neighbors’ dogs whenever they were out of town, and I have continued to build hands-on experience with dogs throughout my adult life. Over the past ten years, I have cared for two high-energy pit bulls, which has strengthened my confidence handling active, strong, and playful dogs. I am friendly and comfortable with dogs of all types, and I consider myself a reliable and attentive dog walker. As an Eagle Scout, I value responsibility, trust, and treating both people and animals with respect. I have also trained my current dog, Bowie, through Kabler Dog School, and I strive to follow their best practices when caring for my own dog and any pets I work with. I am currently returning to school, which gives me a flexible weekday schedule for pet care. I have always enjoyed working with dogs and pride myself on maintaining an active lifestyle, making me a great fit for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in activity visits. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I respect each client’s home, routines, and boundaries, and I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I take time to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners confidence and peace of mind.
About: My family and I combined have 4 cats and 5 dogs. I have one dog of my own, Biscuit, who is my entire world. I only have summers off and my family travels a lot throughout the year, so I am always the one entrusted to watch our dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of 5+ animals multiple times on my own over the course of the last 3 years. I am a teacher so I am currently out of school for the summer which means I am readily available to care for your pets throughout the week. I currently have a part-time babysitting job which occupies my time most days from 8:00-1:00, but can be available a couple hours before and also available afterwards! This will change with the season, but I will update my availability when school starts again! I can easily follow directions to accommodate your pets needs. With my experience in caring for my family’s dogs and cats, I know how to administer medications and crate them.

“Carlina was fantastic with Coco! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Coco got along so well with Carlina's dog and seemed to have a wonderful time. Carlina gave her plenty of snuggles, treats, and attention, and it was clear that Coco was very well cared for. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Carlina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”

“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“This was our second time leaving our doggie with Erika and Megan and it was as great , smooth and overall very positive experience like the first time. They’re so good at communicating and sharing updates while we were away. We have already booked our next boarding needs :)”
“Laura took such good care of our dog during our trip! She sent daily pictures and updates which helped us feel at ease. She has a great yard for dogs to run around and our dog had the best time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Katie & Jeremy are great with our girl! They provide excellent care & keep us updated on how she's doing. We're already planning our next trip & plan to ask them if they'll take care of her for us then.”
“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have been a veterinary nurse at an AAHA accredited hospital for the last 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I have just taken a M-Th veterinary position, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who don’t, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.
“We were very pleased with the care for my fur baby. Charlene is an extremely loving caregiver. I highly recommend her to care for your dog. Pictures and video's send every day and great updates. Charlene took him to the park and kept him active. She is a truly master to take care of dog. My dog had a fantastic vacation. She is also very flexible for the changes of our flight time. EXCELANT, I just can’t say enough thanks to Charlene.”
“My dogs were well cared for and seemed very happy! We were sent lots of photos and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with Alyssa, even my super anxious smaller guy.”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
“Michelle and Dale provided excellent care to our Sapphire. This was our first experience with Rover and will surely be rebooking with Rover Michelle and Dale in the future. They even provided for drop off service at our home as a courtesy. 5 star all the way. -Marc”
“My dogs loved staying with Breanne and her family! You can tell they really love dogs, and my dogs came home much happier than they usually do when I pick them up from a boarding facility. I would happily board with Breanne again!”
“Laird was stellar home away from home for our fur baby! Her beautiful, secure back yard was perfect for lots of carefree romping and running and he was showered with TLC by the whole family! Franklin is already planning his next visit! Thanks Laird!!”
“Calvin was simply amazing and took such great care of Bear! Bear got sick on day one but Calvin was extremely communicative and caring making sure he was taken care of. I felt 100% comfortable knowing Bear was in great hands with Calvin and will definitely use him again. He sent updates, pics and videos each day and even sent us home with some printed pictures of his stay as well as a new toy. I can’t recommend Calvin enough!”
“Daisy had a great, long stay with Diane, who took great care of her. Daisy is 13 and needs a little TLC and Diane took good care of her. She also texted me pictures and told me me not to worry, that she would take good care of her. That was great peace of mind.”
“Stephanie was lovely to work with and we’ll use her again next time to watch Leo. Her communication was great, sent lots of pictures/updates, and I trusted Leo was safe in her hands. Thanks again!”
