“Pisco had a wonderful time with Alexis. Long walks, regular attention, and a nice place to relax. We appreciated her regular stream of photos. Highly recommend Alexis. We'll use her again.”
“I was very happily with my baby Axls stay with James while I was out of town. He seemed to very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. I received updates on Axl everyday which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend James and his wife.”
“We had a great experience using Katie and Jeremy to watch our dog. It was obvious that they love animals. They were kind and flexible and so easy to work with. This was our first time leaving our young dog and so we were a bit anxious. As a pup our dog has a lot of energy but he also has some medical conditions involving his back legs/knees which will be corrected this summer with surgery. Navigating these two things can be a challenge but Katie and Jeremy had no difficulty at all - they sent many photos so we could see how well our pup was doing and this immediately put us at ease. They have a lovely property with a fenced in yard and a back porch - our dog was in dogggie- heaven. We were actually a bit worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! LOL! We will definitely use them again. Thank you, Katie and Jeremy!”
“Echo had a wonderful time staying with Nancy. She was very responsive and accommodating throughout the duration of Echo’s stay. Nancy also provided pictures and messages to make us feel comfortable while we were away from our dog. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“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!”
“High praise for availability, punctuality, care, activities, plus tons of photos during his stay. Kaitlyn receives my highest recommendation. Max just made some “BFF - best friends forever. He will be back. Again and again.. TF”
“I have left my little pup with Jose and Maria several times over the last year or so. They really treat her as part of their family and she gets so excited when we pull up to their house. Their daily pictures and videos are so reassuring that all is well. I highly recommend them!!”
“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!”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
“Kristin is wonderful! I adopted Daisy about a month before I had to leave town for some family obligations. Daisy is a very sweet dog but she was found as an abandoned stray and was understandably extremely anxious. Kristin has worked with shelter dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. She was the perfect person to care for Daisy …and for me as well! Kristin knew leaving Daisy was stressful for me and sent me photos and videos of Daisy. Staying with Kristin was a very positive experience for Daisy in many ways! She is less anxious and more confident. Thank you very much!!”
“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!”
“Lacie is 5 stars as well as A++!!!! She takes remarkable care of our special needs Havanese , Emma. I can’t recommend her enough!! We love Lacie and would trust her with anything we own. Thank you Lacie.”
“While visiting Asheville, we needed someone to take care of Happy meanwhile we had dinner at a not pet-friendly restaurant -- and we were very pleased with all the love (and message update) Terri gave our furry daughter. We dropped off and pick up Happy at Terri's farm, and get to know two of her beautiful dogs.”
“I am so glad that I found Vicky through Rover! She did a wonderful job caring for my sweet Fiona. Vicky was communicative, caring, and made our dog feel at home in her care. I highly recommend her services!”

“Autumn took great care of my 3 cats . This was the second time I had Autumn do daily visits and I highly recommend her as a reliable and thorough pet sitter.

I feel confident in Lindsey’s ability to care for my critters and appreciate her attention to detail with them. She even medicated one of my chickens this weekend for me- will continue to hire her.”
“Karmyn was thorough in her updates after visiting my cats, attentive to their needs, and followed directions really well. We appreciate her being willing to go above and beyond for us.”
“It was so nice to have Kaysee (and Ellen) drop by to check on our cat and give him some love and attention! I could relax while I was away because I got plenty of updates and could tell my kitty was in good hands. I highly recommend Kaysee and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Highly recommend Lauren! We appreciated her willingness to do a meet/greet and even more so appreciated her communication while we were away. Thankful to have found someone that took such good care of our two cats”
“Our experience with Heather was excellent. We just moved into a new house with a new kitten, and she handled everything without a problem. She was communicative, flexible, and great with all our critters. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have a passion for animals. I worked in a pet store for over year, enjoying being able to help pet owners find what their pets need. It’s rewarding to be able to help pet parents and pets get relief. Animals are giving and loving and I enjoy them so much. I have nine guinea pigs myself (which won’t effect my availability:)) and they are the absolute light of my life. Your pets will get so much love and care with me as your sitter. I love all animals, and I am comfortable with most dog sizes. I grew up with small dogs, rodents, and lizards. I understand that dogs need time outside for relieving themselves as well as exercise and fresh air. Every other kind of pet is also just as amazing, and I’d love to love and care for them too! I will be spending all the time I have with your pet. I wake up early to take care of them and I come home immediately after work to spend the evening with your pet. My job starts early, so I will have most of the afternoon and all evening to spend with them. I spend as much time as possible with your pet. I work full time, but make it a priority to be consistent so your pet knows what to expect from me and feels safe.
“Savanah took good care of 16 yr old kitty Arizona while we were out of the country. What was very helpful was her agreeing to be a contact for our dog in boarding, should something come up. Fortunately it was not needed, but it gave me peace of mind! Thank you, Savanah!”
“Morgan is a genuinely kind and warm soul. We are so grateful to have found her to watch our cat for an entire week. It’s really hard to trust a stranger but from the moment I met her I just knew we were in good hands. She sent updates and pics , and our cat was returned in 100% great mood and condition . We’d highly Suggest working with Morgan if you need a safe place for your pet! Xo”
“Always reliable. Takes great care of everyone and gets my cat to take her med which isn't easy. So glad to have her, takes the worry out of travel. She communicates extremely well letting me know how everyone is doing.”

“I know that Bueller had a great time with Alexis because I got regular pupdates, she ate, and she was looking for her after she was returned to us. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She sent pictures that showed Abby in various activities throughout the day. It was obvious that Abby enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn, her dog and daughter. She was extremely flexible on the drop-off and pick-up times. This was our first time to use her and she will be our first choice in future bookings. Thank you, Kaitlyn!!”

Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment.

About: My husband and I have both grown up with dogs. We recently lost our two dogs to cancer and had our first child within the past few months - it has been an emotional rollercoaster. We want our son to be around dogs, but are not ready to get one ourselves yet. This seems like a great way to earn extra money while also being able to love on dogs. I am home with our son every day (week days and weekends) so I am able to watch after dogs any day at any time. We enjoyed taking our dogs on walks in the neighborhood, hiking in the woods, and playing in the yard. We allowed our dogs on the couch and in the bed because they are family.

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!

About: I have worked as a foster for animal rescue organizations for years; raising many litters of pups and kittens! I am animal CPR certified, and am very interested in pet nutrition.

About: I have taken care of dogs and pets of every kind since I was young child. From big dogs to small dogs to rabbits, rodents, and cats I am comfortable around animals of all species, ages, and stages. I have experience caring for my family's animals, my own animals, and my foster animals from young to senior care including potty training, leash walking, and medicine administration. I am a remote worker so I am able to be extremely attentive to your pets needs throughout the day and evening whether that be special feeding schedules, medicine administration, or just lots of daily walks! Our pets are so special and full of love and deserve only the best care while we are at work/on vacation/etc. I provide daily care for my foxhound. I am happy to follow any and all instructions for your dog in your home including crating, supervised yard time, walks around the neighborhood, training reinforcement, etc.
About: I am a teacher in Asheville looking to hang out with some lovely animals in my free time. Growing up I have always had animals but primarily dogs so I have a strong background in dog behaviors and needs. My fiancé, Ellen, is also available to support during the week days that wouldn’t be optimal for me to leave during my teaching days. This gives a lot more availability! She has always grown up with cats and dogs and would love to help support to give them the best care. Often we both come for meet and greets/visits to ensure we give the best care 😊 I look forward to care for your animal in anyway I can. Please let me know of any questions as I hope to be flexible with any needs. During the week I am gone roughly 8am-4pm but will be home during the weekend times. During the summer months I am available throughout the day times. My fiancé is a nurse and works 3 days out of the week. The schedule is flexible but sporadic. I love to get out for long walks and get as much movement as possible. If that’s for your animal I’d love to get them out! If not I am cautious about the animals typical areas and what works best for them.
“My puppies are so happy and chill after their walks with Alexis. Alexis sends me the route, distance, and a pic. Pups like her so much they wait for her on her days off! So glad I did this for us.”

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs, cats, fish, and birds for 15 years. I am comfortable with young and elderly animals, and am able to give medications or other more advanced kinds of care. Most importantly, I have a great dog voice. I am my own boss, so I'm able to alter my schedule as needed to care for your babies. Whether that's holidays, early mornings, evenings, etc. I prefer to meet your pets and see your home before our first care-visit. That way I can meet your fur baby in their own environment to have them be as comfortable with me as possible before I come to care for them.

I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment.

“Tina was extremely communicative and I was kept up to date throughout the entire walk. I love that she filled out the rover card and sent pics as well. It is helpful for a dog momma that struggles to leave him to see his happy face and know he’s doing well! Thanks Tina!”

About: I’ve cared for animals in a wide range of environments, from farms on the Big Island of Hawaii to horses in Appalachia and North Florida. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, (including caring for more than 30 pets in the Asheville area in one summer alone!) I’m dependable, grounded, and comfortable working independently. As a mother currently studying social work, I value calm communication, consistency, and creating a safe, relaxed environment for both pets and homes. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I aim to provide attentive, trustworthy care that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m also happy to include plant watering and basic plant care during visits when needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m local to the Lake Junaluska and Waynesville area and have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer while school is out. I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, and companionship throughout the day. Because I live nearby, commuting is easy for me, which helps me stay reliable and responsive for clients. I enjoy creating calm, steady environments for animals and genuinely value the trust involved in caring for someone’s pets and home. I currently provide care in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in the environment they already know and trust. I understand how important consistency, routine, and familiarity are for animals while their owners are away. I aim to maintain a calm, clean, and dependable environment by carefully following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, communicative throughout each stay, and attentive to both pet safety and home security. My goal is always to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and emotionally at ease while giving owners peace of mind that their home and animals are in responsible hands!

We are usually doing something outdoorsy or going on some fun adventure! And we will always exceed your pets needs and adjust our household to just that while your pet stays. :)
“Thank you so much for walking the dogs! Alison walkes and handled our 2 playful dogs and sent us updates! She was also on time and followed the instructions for treats! We will contact her again when we visit Asheville again! ?”

At my place, a secluded yard and an invisible fence guarantee a secure outdoor environment for playful activities. In your home, I prioritize creating a familiar setting, maintaining routines, and implementing any necessary safety measures, ensuring your pets feel at ease and well-cared for.
About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

“Pisco had a wonderful time with Alexis. Long walks, regular attention, and a nice place to relax. We appreciated her regular stream of photos. Highly recommend Alexis. We'll use her again.”
“I was very happily with my baby Axls stay with James while I was out of town. He seemed to very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. I received updates on Axl everyday which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend James and his wife.”
“We had a great experience using Katie and Jeremy to watch our dog. It was obvious that they love animals. They were kind and flexible and so easy to work with. This was our first time leaving our young dog and so we were a bit anxious. As a pup our dog has a lot of energy but he also has some medical conditions involving his back legs/knees which will be corrected this summer with surgery. Navigating these two things can be a challenge but Katie and Jeremy had no difficulty at all - they sent many photos so we could see how well our pup was doing and this immediately put us at ease. They have a lovely property with a fenced in yard and a back porch - our dog was in dogggie- heaven. We were actually a bit worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! LOL! We will definitely use them again. Thank you, Katie and Jeremy!”
“Echo had a wonderful time staying with Nancy. She was very responsive and accommodating throughout the duration of Echo’s stay. Nancy also provided pictures and messages to make us feel comfortable while we were away from our dog. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“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!”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
“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!”
“Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.”
“Molly was absolutely amazing! “Fenced in yard” does not do her place justice. Her yard was our dog’s dream. Beautifully grassed and open for running around. Our puppy loved her puppy and she sent so many photos and videos of them playing together. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“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!”
“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.”
