“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“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.”
“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”
“Courtney is great! I hired Courtney for daycare in her home. She was terrific to work with - responsive & able to troubleshoot a booking SNAFU on the App. My dog loved her & settled in immediately her dog and cat. Courtney sent a ton of photos & videos throughout the day. I will definitely hire her again!”
“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!”
“Bella seemed to really enjoy her stay with Kali! My fiancé and I really appreciated Kali’s responsiveness and willingness to work with our schedules. She even sent us a picture showing Bella settled in bed which we greatly adored. Thanks Kali!”
“Nola loves her stays with Katie and Preston and their furry family. I trust them to give her all the attention she needs and to provide great care. It’s great to have a trustworthy home away from home for her and she will be returning the next time I go out of town.”
“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.”
“Buddy had the best time with Kyle and her pup, Louie. They were all fast friends. Kyle was flexible and communicative before and during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”
“Terri and her husband were so SWEET to me and Ares. They have the best little farm for my dog to run around on. He had the best time staying with them and I would absolutely use her again. They are such kind people!”
“Jen completely removed our worry and doubt that we had from trying to find a sitter! When our pup is with her we know that she's taken care of and just as comfortable in her home as if she would still be in ours!!”
About: I am new to Asheville, and I’m excited to spend my days exploring the area with your pup by my side! Since my husband works during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the one-on-one attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve; not just a quick visit. I’m also looking forward to learning about different breeds as my husband and I prepare for dog ownership ourselves, so you can trust that I’ll care for your dog with genuine enthusiasm, patience, and lots of love :) I relocated with my husband for his job, so my hours are pretty open with notice for the foreseeable future! I enjoy hiking and walking, so i am happy to combine those activities with taking your pet along :) Your dog will enjoy a calm, comfortable home in West Asheville with plenty of space to relax and receive individualized attention. I typically opt for taking dog walks in parks or hiking trails instead of my neighborhood. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long and will receive lots of companionship, play, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. I treat every dog like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Ann and Jaren were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of my sweet Ernie for 10 days, and I could tell he was happy and loved while I was gone. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. On top of that, they made things so easy for me—I was able to leave my car at their house, and they even gave me a ride to the airport. Truly above and beyond! I’m so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to ask them again.”
About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
“We had a wonderful experience with KaLynn on Rover! She cared for our 10-year-old beagle for a full week while we were in Germany, and we couldn’t have asked for a better situation—especially now that he’s in his senior years. In the past, traditional boarding environments were very stressful for him. Being around too many dogs and confined to a suite would cause him to bark excessively, sometimes even losing his voice. We knew we needed something more personal and calm, and KaLynn provided exactly that. Her home environment was perfect—peaceful, welcoming, and much more like what he’s used to. She also has a beautiful, large backyard where he could safely enjoy time outside with a smaller group of dogs, which made a huge difference in his comfort level. Knowing he was in such a caring, low-stress setting gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for the attention and compassion she showed him. We would highly recommend her and absolutely trust her again with our senior pup! Thank you KaLynn for caring of our boy, Copper!💙”
“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.”

“Grayson is amazing. I recently adopted a Great Dane who had a rough start to life and need someone who can help me show him how kind people can be. Grayson is the perfect person for this. Even when my dog jumps on him, he just laughs like he's never been happier. I feel so lucky to have him to look after my pup while I'm at work.”
“Alexis was AMAZING with our senior girl. She was super attentive and spent a lot of time with all the cats. We really appreciate her time and would definitely book with Alexis again!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“I know Levon works mostly with dogs and I was very happy he was available on short notice (I had another rover sitter cancel within a week of my trip) to watch my sweet Anna. She can be shy and she was comfortable with Levon and he was able to give her the medication she needs. He was responsive and kept me updated. I would book with him again!”
“Thanks to Shannon for taking care of my cat for Thanksgiving! She did a great job providing updates, making sure things were as my cat likes them, and spending quality time with him. I appreciated the meet and greet and prompt replies. Thanks again!”
“Alex was so friendly and professional. I appreciate his thorough reports and all the photos. Alex made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten, knowing she was in good and capable hands.”
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time
“Brittney was a godsend when we went out of town last minute. She was communicative from the jump and able to do a drop-in last minute to meet the cats and get to know our home. Her updates were extremely thorough and thoughtful, and she sent us lots of pictures. Not only is she competent, she clearly loves animals and spent time to gain the trust of our two cats, both with very different personalities. Would absolutely trust Brittney to watch our cats again.”
“Alema was so amazing!! Very responsive and flexible while watching Zuchinni. She gave him lots of love and made sure he was taken care of so I could have a stress free vacation.”
“James was lovely! He was attentive, reliable, and made sure to send daily updates and photos while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“I finally feel safe traveling without my boys thanks to Eliza! Eliza went above and beyond to spend time with both of my kitties and was even able to get my super shy one to come out and socialize which he desperately needs when we’re gone. I feel so relieved to know I have someone I can count on next time I’m out of town.”
“Lilie was amazing! She sent pictures of Welsey and went over the top with comminication. 10/10 would recommend and will be reaching out to her again in the furture.”
“Joanna is such a phenomenal sitter! She provides excellent care while I’m away, with great updates and attentive service. HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Sam is a wonderful pet sitter. Rhyland enjoys her visits because she plays, gives treats and makes sure he is well cared for. I will continue to book Sam for all future times I am away.”
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Years ago, I worked as a vet tech, where I gained valuable experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I currently live with my two dogs (Merle and Penny) and cat (Rue), and I truly consider them family. In my free time, you’ll almost always find me spending time with my animals, whether that’s going on hikes, playing by the river, or just spending time together at home. I have also had the privilege of fostering dogs and am currently fostering kittens, which has given me even more experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, extra attention and affection, medication support, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I work Monday through Thursday, but I am available for drop-in visits throughout the day and evening depending on your pet’s needs. I have more open availability Friday through Sunday and am happy to provide walks, drop-ins, and extended care during those days. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to work with owners to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my previous experience as a veterinary technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health needs, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I have also fostered dogs and currently foster kittens, giving me experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I take pet care seriously and will treat your animals with the same patience, attention, and care that I provide to my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands while you’re away.

“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with my pup, Biggie! She took care of him while my family and I went to the Biltmore and out to dinner, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She sent so many pictures and videos throughout the time he was with her, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She was incredibly accommodating, and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had the best time! Biggie went straight to sleep when we got home, which tells me he was happy, loved, and well played with. Alyssa and her family treated Biggie like one of their own, and it truly meant so much to me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again whenever we visit!!”
“I'm so glad we found Nate!! He was so patient, easy going and communicated every step of the way. He didn't make us feel like our dogs were nuisances or an inconvenience like a previous sitter made us feel. I was so happy to see both my dogs having so much fun running around with Bilbo in the huge fenced in area. Bilbo is the sweetest dog ever! We're going to be repeat customers.”
“Jackie is the BEST and my Pom pup Remy had a great day. He met a new doggie friend and went for a hike. Thank you Jackie! Remy will come see you again next time we're in Asheville :-)”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about this lovely lady to do her justice! She took such good care of my baby girl! She helped her come out of her shell and was just amazing with her! She cared for her so lovingly and sent me pictures and updates of her throughout the day ! I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Thank uuu Jen!! She was just the best!! We felt so badly requesting to schedule within a day hoping she was available She was so accommodating and asked us about Dottie to know what she needed her personality etc Dot had the best time!! Jen sent photos and messaged We hope to return and will contact Jen!! We highly recommend her!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”
“Robert was very kind and took care of Maia while we were at Biltmore. He lives very close to the estate so it was very convenient. He was very transparent and professional and made sure it was the right fit. Maia is happy and we are grateful. Thank you, Robert!”
About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard. That said, we always make sure one of us will be home when we have any pets staying with us. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school. That’s 20 years! I love taking care of pets so much. They help show us unconditional love and remind us of the lighter aspects of life. When I visit your pet they become my best friend. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I’m very present with them and give them loads of attention and affection. I am great with sticking to any training or routines you may have for your pets. I’m very flexible with the needs of each pet. I live a very active lifestyle so long walks are a plus. I love being outside in nature with pets. I have a lot of experience also working with senior pets and the extra care they may need. Some of my favorite pet clients are the ones that seem hesitant at first but then come out of their shells. Don't worry while your away your pets are in good hands. I’ll make your pet feel safe, taken care of and have fun while you are not there. 🌟❤️ I am a freelance artist that works online so I have plenty of time to stay with your pets during the day for overnights visits. I always make an effort to be by your pet while staying with them. I focus on their needs and give them loads of love and attention whenever I get a chance.

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.

“It was great working with autumn, she took care if our shih tzu for 3 weeks. She kept us informed , and was very accommodating for or flight delays and schedule changes. I dog is healthy and happy to see her s back. Thanks for all your help.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs and sick/disabled dogs. I can administer medication, if needed. My dogs are our family members and yours will be treated the same. I am currently working from home so your pet won’t be left home alone for very long periods. I am available during the week and weekends including holidays. I have two very sweet and mellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to keep your doggie company. They will have access to 2 separate fenced in areas, one with a doggie door. Your dog can be crated or not and are welcome on the furniture with our dogs.

We have a run in the front yard they can use! We have a small yard at our house but a big yard if you have a run! At your home, we are happy to follow your lead on how you do it :)
“Richard was very easy to communicate with and very understanding of our situation- our 1 year old pup had never been boarded or stayed with anyone since we got her, and we were trying to get her used to staying with someone before we take a vacation. Rick was great and caring, despite the fact that our puppy was very nervous and anxious while in his care and she whined a lot. We would definitely book a stay with Rick again, but for his benefit we are going to work more with a trainer so our dog is more comfortable staying with sitters and not just us all the time. Thank you Rick for your help and caring spirit!”

About: I have raised a puppy from 7 weeks old to 3.5 years old, and I also took care of my childhood 15 year old senior chocolate lab, giving me firsthand experience with the full spectrum of dog ages. I have spent time training my own dogs and learning about different training techniques, which I genuinely enjoy. My experience includes working with reactive dogs, and I believe in supporting owners without judgment. I am happy to work alongside them to manage and support pets' behavior. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to dogs, so I am comfortable and capable of handling any special medical needs your pet may have.

Linked here: https://www.rover.com/sit/inesf75094 OR use the Promo Code: INESF75094 I am currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends to walk dogs, do overnight stays, or drop in. I care for pets in my client's homes with the utmost dedication and attention to their individual needs. I have experience with my family dog of 15 years, a puppy I rescued and gave to my sister, and a dog I rescued from the streets who has become the light of my life. I have walked and cared for all three by taking them on regular walks, adventures, and hikes, always advocating for their space and listening to their cues. I ensure they are fed high-quality food and treats and take them to the vet as needed. I also prioritize their safety and comfort by taking them out early in the morning and late at night to avoid the heat. My approach is rooted in love and respect, and I always aim to create a nurturing environment where they feel happy and secure.
“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
“My dog takes time to warm up to people and Levon has done a great job being patient and loving with my German Shepard! Levon is great at handling dogs and gives great updates on the walks!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats who I’ve had since they were just 4 and 6 weeks old. They are now 13 years old, so I’ve had experience caring for them through every stage of life. Throughout their lives, I’ve also administered medications and learned how to accommodate their individual needs. Both of my cats have specific routines when it comes to feeding and using the bathroom, so I understand the importance of paying close attention to the little details that help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I feel most confident caring for cats and small dogs, and I’m happy to adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to give every pet the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. M-F I'm available for visits in the mornings before 8:30 AM, mid-day between 130–3 PM, and in the evenings after 630 PM. I can do 30–60 minute visits in the mornings and evenings, while mid-day visits are limited to 30 minutes. The weekends I'm available anytime between 7AM - 7PM. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, whether it’s their feeding routine, medications, leash, doors, gates, or anything else they may need. I will keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am 53 and semi-retired. I drive for Uber to fill some of my time. I have cared for animals all of my life, starting with a farm when I was little. My first dog was named Tandy and my first cat was Tasha. I have been a fur baby mamma, pretty much always, as well as a sitter for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, kittens and senior animals. I recently moved to Asheville and into a place that doesn’t allow pets. I miss having a fur baby, so it would be an honor to care for yours. I have a very open schedule. I drive for Uber part time, and other than that I like to fill my days with hiking, walking, pickleball and yoga. I would love to have a furry friend come along on my adventures! I am unable to bring pets into my rental home. I will travel to your home and stay overnight with your pet, and I will treat both with love, care and respect. I will make sure to follow feeding, potty and walking schedules closely. I will also ask about favorite games and comfort toys and routines. I will send pictures and a recap of the day. I want you, and your pet, to feel comfortable and safe.
About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Kashmir, my Redbone Coonhound puppy who loves other dogs!
“We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!”
About: i don't have a lot of experience in dog care other than taking care of friends dogs or the last few years, but i love being around dogs and really care about getting them out and giving them the exercise and social experiences they need. I love to take dogs our on runs and give them social opportunities with other dogs. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to love yours. The majority of my work is all open ended and very flexible. I can work pet care into all aspects of my life. There isn’t a lot that i’m doing currently that can take my attention away from your pets. I will not be bringing any pets to my house, but i will come to yours and do over night stays, extended stays, or walk your dogs if you will be out for more than 4 hours at a time. I will make sure your dogs and cats get clean fresh water and fed by whatever times you wish. i will keep the liter box clean and the yard clean as well.
About: I am new to Asheville, and I’m excited to spend my days exploring the area with your pup by my side! Since my husband works during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the one-on-one attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve; not just a quick visit. I’m also looking forward to learning about different breeds as my husband and I prepare for dog ownership ourselves, so you can trust that I’ll care for your dog with genuine enthusiasm, patience, and lots of love :) I relocated with my husband for his job, so my hours are pretty open with notice for the foreseeable future! I enjoy hiking and walking, so i am happy to combine those activities with taking your pet along :) Your dog will enjoy a calm, comfortable home in West Asheville with plenty of space to relax and receive individualized attention. I typically opt for taking dog walks in parks or hiking trails instead of my neighborhood. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long and will receive lots of companionship, play, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. I treat every dog like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

About: I have been taking exceptional care of my dogs and cats in my life and for my extended families. If your animal isn't happy then your household isn't happy. After all how have we gotten through this pandemic without them😊😊😊 I am currently working part-time and am available to play and exercise with the animals in your canine and feline world. I appreciate good orderly communication so i can add to your treasured home companion. I can exercise your pets on a leash or play frisbee or ball with them in your backyard. If you have a cat also I can crate the dog and have quality time with your cat with grooming and playing with toys.
About: Experienced dog mom, I have many years of dog sitting, walking, and loving under my belt. I genuinely enjoy time spent with animals and love to walk. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as many varied breeds. There is no dog too big or too small for me to take care of for you :) I recently sold my business and have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies. I’m available same day as needed as well. I’m not available late night. I come to you so your animal feels safest in their own home and environment. I have reliable transportation if you need me to take your pup anywhere as well.
About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time
About: Welcome to my profile! I just moved here from Chicago to start graduate school. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have a dog that never slows down. My parents have four cats and a dog, so I'm constantly around furry friends and well-versed in different temperaments and routines. I also have 12 years of experience caring for pets belonging to family and friends, so I understand the importance of finding someone you trust. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work around your pet's needs! I take mostly evening and night classes, which means I'm available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting while you're at work. I'm also available on weekends, as long as I'm notified before the weekend begins. I just ask for at least two days' notice so I can make sure I give your pet the time and attention they deserve! Your pet's safety and trust mean everything to me. Since I'm unable to host animals in my own home, I will be caring for your pet in their familiar environment to help reduce stress and maintain their routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect and take pride in being reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I am more than happy to provide updates and pictures throughout each visit. The only thing I ask is that you communicate openly with me about your pets' behaviors and stressors so I can care for them appropriately.
“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.”

“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“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.”
“Bella seemed to really enjoy her stay with Kali! My fiancé and I really appreciated Kali’s responsiveness and willingness to work with our schedules. She even sent us a picture showing Bella settled in bed which we greatly adored. Thanks Kali!”
“Nola loves her stays with Katie and Preston and their furry family. I trust them to give her all the attention she needs and to provide great care. It’s great to have a trustworthy home away from home for her and she will be returning the next time I go out of town.”
“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.”
“Buddy had the best time with Kyle and her pup, Louie. They were all fast friends. Kyle was flexible and communicative before and during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”

About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!
“Jacqueline is incredible! You can tell that she really loves animals and is so naturally good with them. I could tell that my dog, Pippi, was comfortable with her right away when I dropped her off and that she had had a lot of fun when I picked her up. Jacqueline kept Pippi busy and entertained - walks around the neighborhood and in the park, swimming (which Pippi loves), and meeting new friends. I'd love to bring Pippi back to stay with her!”
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.
About: I have 2+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel at home and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care throughout their stay. Monday through Friday, I leave for work around 7:30 AM and return home at noon for lunch. I head back to work around 1 PM and am usually home between 4–5 PM. This allows me to check in, provide attention, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually home all day studying, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care. I live in a comfortable apartment complex with plenty of safe outdoor areas for walks, exercise, and potty breaks. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine while providing a clean, calm, and comfortable space where they can feel safe and at home.
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs and sick/disabled dogs. I can administer medication, if needed. My dogs are our family members and yours will be treated the same. I am currently working from home so your pet won’t be left home alone for very long periods. I am available during the week and weekends including holidays. I have two very sweet and mellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to keep your doggie company. They will have access to 2 separate fenced in areas, one with a doggie door. Your dog can be crated or not and are welcome on the furniture with our dogs. Ours sleep in an x-pen together but your dog can sleep where ever it prefers. I want them to be comfortable like it is their own home.
“Jeremy, Katie, and their sweet son made our Sunny feel right at home! We loveeeed getting all the pictures and videos sent to us of his stay with them! We actually looked forward to all the pictures and was such a pleasant bonus getting to see your fur baby getting well taken care of and could see them having a good time. We definitely will be using their boarding again for him!”
“Jordan and her family were great! We’ll definitely try to use her services next time. Our trip was a last minute scheduling and she was very accommodating with the meet and greet. She was very responsive and graceful with a lot of last minute changes on our end.”
“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”
“This was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had. The booking was a breeze the communication and everything went well. My pup was happy met other dogs and I appreciate you guys going over and beyond!!!”
