I’d absolutely recommend Adaira to anyone looking for a compassionate pet sitter.”

“Kate was a great drop-in sitter for my two kitties. She came twice a day while I was out of town and made sure to give my cats the care they need. Clean food/water each visit, clean litter box, and lots of playtime for one of my cats that is hyperactive. My other cat is very anxious with new people, and she did her best to befriend him. If they had a few more days, I think they could have been best friends. She also kept me at ease with the photos she sent showing my cats were safe and sound.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service provided by Eliza D. From our initial meet and greet until I returned home, Eliza was both personable and professional. While I was away, she provided daily updates and photos of my kitty companion which provided peace of mind knowing that she was being well cared for in my absence. Calypso enthusiastically gives her a 5-meow review. If you are in need of reliable and caring cat-sitting services, Eliza would be an excellent choice!”

“Chanel was awesome! We have 3 kitties (one has some special needs) and she took excellent care of everyone. She was kind, conscientious, kept me well informed, and I felt very comfortable knowing my fur babies were in such good hands. I would definitely use her again, if she's available! Thanks Chanel!”


“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!”

“Kara was wonderful! She took great care of our cat while we were away. Her report cards were thorough and she sent plenty of pictures too. Kara was super flexible and was able to add on dates at the last minute and was willing to unexpectedly administer eye drops daily (no easy feat!). We’d love to use Kara in the future!”

“Autumn was amazing to work with! We were thankful for the meet and greet to ensure she would be amazing with our cats - we knew right away she would be a good fit. Communication was quick and we were grateful for all the updates.”

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!

“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!”

“Kali sent me updates, with pictures, and was quick to respond when I contacted her. It was a perfect situation, plenty of space and her dogs are great. I am delighted to have her as a resource for my Toby.”
“Molly was wonderful to meet and took great care of our GSP. We can recommend her without hesitation. Her pup and ours played so well together. Hope to use Molly’s pet services when we return to Asheville.”

“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..”

“I have been bringing my rambunctious, lovable dog to Laird for almost a year now, and he is always excited when we get there. I know he is always well taken care of and getting all the attention he wants, and I get lots of pictures to see how his day is going! I am happy to have found her and my dog loves it there!”
“John and his wife did a great job keeping an eye on my senior dog. They personalized the days activities and walks for his needs and sent me a photo update to let me know he was settled in.”

“Aditi and her family are lovely, caring, warm people who obviously loved my little one all day long. She is communicative, responsive and provides all the information needed to feel comfortable about leaving my loved one in her home. I highly recommend her!”

“Booked last minute and Golda was kind and caring. She watched our dog Riley while we went out to dinner. She was professional and stayed in communication. Couldn't ask for anything more.”

“Paul and his fiancé were amazing with our boy, Ezra. As my service dog, he is always with me. There were 2 days of our 16-day vacay that we needed a reliable pet sitter for adventures we couldn’t bring Ezra on: zip-lining in Barnardsville and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in a 2-seater Polaris Slingshot. Even after a considerately planned meet-and-greet the afternoon before his 1st stay with Paul, Ezra was a little nervous after we dropped him off. Thoughtfully, I received updates and videos to keep me posted. Paul and his fiancé worked with him to build trust and also Ezra’s confidence. By day 2, Ezra did not want his stay to end at pick-up time! When he finally did get in the car, he was happily exhausted and slept the entire drive home. I would definitely reach out to Paul as a pet sitter should the need arise the next time we visit beautiful North Carolina! Thank you both for taking such good care of our Ezra. We truly appreciate all you did to help him adjust and feel comfortable, confident and happy!!! :)”

“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.”


“Beth was wonderful with our dog. Mitchie felt right at home before I even left. Beth sent us frequent updates and photos on Mitchie throughout the day that made us feel super comfortable that our pooch was in good hands. We will use Beth's services again while we are in Asheville and we recommend her wholeheartedly.”

I’m patient with shy animals, attentive to routines, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so owners feel at ease I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day.

I always respect your home, make sure pets are safe, and can send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I came to Asheville for a little vacation and was offered work for a week. It was last minute and unexpected so I went to rover to try to find a sitter for Kimber. If I wasn’t successful, I’d have had to take her back to home 4 hours away. Jenna stepped up and was willing to work with me for very early drop offs. That’s one of the hardest things is that I work long crazy hours. We did a meet and greet to see how our dogs got along and they loved each other. She sent me pictures of them taking a walk together and checked in with me during the day to let me know how she was. I highly recommend using Jenna to care for your pet.”

“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!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”

“We were very pleased with Devon. She responded to my inquiries promptly and we were able to set up our dog's day care visit. She texted me a couple of times during the day to let me know how Boone was doing. Boone seemed to have a great day with Devon. He took a long afternoon nap. We will have her watch our doodle again!”

About: I have worked in the veterinary medicine industry for approximately 9-10 years. I am now a Vet Assistant in a small animal hospital. I have worked with and been around maybe different animals since I was young. I have also worked with horses for approximately 14 years in many different settings. I am fear free certified and truly enjoy giving an owner peace of mind that their pet is in great hands! 💛 If my schedule does not reflect your needs, please message me, I can be flexible at times. I am employed full-time with a 4-day work week. I am available on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at any time. Other days of the week, I am available for PM drop-ins. When pet-sitting, I follow instructions from the owner and do not vary from the directions unless advised. I understand the importance of a pet's routine and sticking as closely to that as possible. I care for all animals with the same gentle, caring approach I use with my own pets. I am equipped to administer medication if needed.
“Thanks so much for walking Loki while I was out of town. It was such a peace of mind to know she was getting some fresh air and exercise! I really appreciate you and look forward to working with you again.”

“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! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
