“This was our first time having to leave Buddy for a long period of time. James gave us peace of mind by sending photos and giving us updates on our baby everyday we were apart. BUDDY Loves to stay with James. He gets to play and run around, also lots of attention. We are very happy and pleased with the love and attention given to our baby.”
“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”
“Nancy's small farm setting is perfect for dogs who enjoy being outside, snuffling around the paddock, or making friends through the fence with ducks, chickens, a llama, and a donkey! Her dog-centric space is equally suitable for your four-legged couch-potatoes, who will enjoy air-conditioning and comfy beds while they hang out with Nancy while she works. It's a win-win for everyone! A friendly welcome and regular updates throughout their stay put any pet owner at ease. My dogs can't wait for me to go on vacation again :D”
“Katie & Jeremy were great at communicating and sending pictures of our dogs stay with them. Creature seemed to have a great time and fit in well with them. Def would use them 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!”
“Maria and Jose took great care of our girl. They instantly made us feel comfortable and asked great questions to understand all her needs. They sent us tons of videos/pics throughout her stay which put us at ease knowing she was having a blast playing with their dogs and going on walks. I highly recommend them as they were great with our puppy.”
“11/10 would recommend nicole!! she is super sweet and treats your pets as if they are one of her own. she is quick to respond and sent lots of pictures and updates! our dog riley ended up becoming little besties with her daughter haha we needed to change our drop off/pick up times after booking and she was flexible with us which was very much appreciated. the two nights they were under her care, i didn’t think twice that they weren’t in good hands. will definitely be booking with nicole again!! ☺️”
“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.”
“I’d give Vicky 10 stars if I could. Lucy loved her time with Vicky and I felt at ease knowing she was being well loved. Vicky sent us multiple videos of Lucy, which made our time apart much more comforting. Many thanks to you, Vicky”
“Paul and family took great care of Johnny Cash! The pictures of Cash with Paul’s son were precious. I’d gladly recommend him and hope to have a future opportunity to have Cash stay with him”
“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.”
“Autumn was awesome with our puppy chase. She kept us updated with pictures, what he ate and if he went potty. He came home totally happy and tired. Will use her again when we come up to North Carolina. ♥️”

“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.”
“Saving Grace for my cats. During the snow storm she made sure the cats were fed and comfortable and safe. I can't express how grateful I was and am for Jesse. I knew what was happening at all times which eased my worry so much. She always communicates fully. Even my cautious cat loves her. You can tell without a doubt she operates with care and love. She is an absolute gem.”
“Tina took excellent care of our pets and the updates she provided kept our mind at ease during our trip. She also accommodated by adding a day for us to our belief and brought in a package that was delivered. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our 3 cats! She came for a meet and greet beforehand and took time to meet each one individually. She followed all our instructions and provided prompt communication and updates regarding our kids. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Kaysee had great communication with me despite me being out of service most of the time. I was also able to add a day at the last minute. Thanks for looking out for Lucky so well.”
About: I’ve taken care of and have loved cats my whole life. I have many years of experience with all different types of personalities, temperaments and needs! From, high maintenance, long-haired Parisians to short haired, very vocal orange tabby’s, Im your girl
“Wow! Heather is an absolute gem who exceeded our expectations and put our anxieties to rest! I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She is competent, friendly, ready to help, and most importantly, was really sweet and patient with our cats--one of whom is extremely shy of strangers. By the end of our vacation Heather had won over and made friends with our scaredy boy kitty. Heather kept us apprised of each visit with photos as well as detailed and humorous updates that really set our minds and hearts at ease. She was also more than willing to water a few of our plants and tend to a few things around our house. Please book Heather if you are looking for the very best pet sitter!”
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.
“Brittany went above and beyond! It was clear how much she cared about our cat. She played with him, fed him, gave him lots of love, and made sure he was safe while we were gone. We would 100% hire her to take care of our boy again :)”
“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and currently have 6. I’m a huge animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I would love to give your pets some love and care!

I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced in and love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood.
About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.
“Allison, we can't thank you enough for taking care of "Kat" during our two week cruise to Alaska. We were initially hesitant in booking through Rover not knowing what to expect or how the pet sitters were screened to begin with. We're so glad we did and even more thankful that Kat had you to check in on her daily while we were gone. The love you have for animals is evident and again, we are extremely grateful that we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about Kat. Oh, and anytime we got Internet service while in port, first thing we did was check out the "Rover Report." We got a kick out of them! For anyone reading this review, if you're looking for a pet caregiver that is reliable, caring and will love and spend time with your fur baby like her own, look no further and book with Allison. We will definitely be using her again! Erman & Roberta D.”
“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”
“Through the snow storm! Noone else could make it. Not sure how she made that happen, I think she put the truck in 4wd and went 5mph. The roads werent plowed. She saved the day for those cats. They had no other meal that day. They had food in their belly because she made sure of it. I am so grateful for her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Clyde
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Appreciate having a safe place for Chlo'e. She was herself and knowing that says she was happy there. She could be playful with the other adult-puppies. Thank you James we'll definitely book services again.”
“Carrie and her two dogs were great with our dog Casper! Also this was the first time using Rover and Cassie helped us through the process. Very comforting knowing that we have someone we can trust while we have to take care of other things. We are already planning our next visits!”

Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

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.

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.

“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 had animals my entire life and currently have 6. I’m a huge animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I would love to give your pets some love and care! I work as a Special Education teacher. Starting in June, I will have full time availability until August. I can do any day and any time. I have 2 friendly dogs as well as 4 friendly cats. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced in and love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood.
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!
“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! ?”

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.

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. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy.
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.
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.
About: Are you looking for some love and fun for your girl or boy while their loved one is away ! Can’t wait to see what this brings and the connections I am able to make ! I’m a full-time worker who recently moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. While I do have a busy schedule during the week, I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and exploring all that the area has to offer. I previously spent time dog sitting in the Atlanta area and had a wonderful experience building relationships with both pets and their owners. If you have a dog or other animal that needs care, I’d love to help! I’m available for house sitting on Saturdays and Sundays, and I can begin house-sitting stays after 5:00 PM on Fridays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Now that I’m settled in WNC, I’m excited to continue providing dependable and loving care for local pets. With some local parks near it has been fun exploring.
About: I have always loved animals, i’ve had two dogs- Shadow a Chow Chow & Joseph a American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve taken care of many friends/family pets throughout my life. I work where i’m always around many types of different dogs- so don’t be hesitant if your dog stands out :) (If you’re interested in where i work just contact me with all & any questions you have!!) I’m fully comfortable with any dog breed & or cat!!! We don’t discriminate here! I work part time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies & give them the attention they want/need :) I can do anything you’d like! I love going on walks, going for rides or just playing inside! If you’d like for me to do certain things with your animals, i’m fully open!

“This was our first time having to leave Buddy for a long period of time. James gave us peace of mind by sending photos and giving us updates on our baby everyday we were apart. BUDDY Loves to stay with James. He gets to play and run around, also lots of attention. We are very happy and pleased with the love and attention given to our baby.”
“Nancy's small farm setting is perfect for dogs who enjoy being outside, snuffling around the paddock, or making friends through the fence with ducks, chickens, a llama, and a donkey! Her dog-centric space is equally suitable for your four-legged couch-potatoes, who will enjoy air-conditioning and comfy beds while they hang out with Nancy while she works. It's a win-win for everyone! A friendly welcome and regular updates throughout their stay put any pet owner at ease. My dogs can't wait for me to go on vacation again :D”

“Sharon is a loving and considerate companion that kept our elderly dog Kuma happy and healthy while we were away. Her wonderful attention to his daily needs was outstanding. Kuma enjoyed every minute of the warm and loving care Sharon gave to him everyday. The pictures and videos showed how he loved Sharon and how happy he was. Sharon would be an excellent pet sitter for your pets and we would highly recommend her services.”

About: I grew up with feisty terriers, and now have a high energy Dalmatian. I’m up for the task! It’s a pleasure to play hard, and get them tuckered out for cuddle time. By spending time with our Dalmatian, high energy pups will meet their match and older dogs will tap into their youth. Looking forward to it! I work from home, and already have dog-care built into my routine. Our fenced in yard makes it easy for them to run-around. Daily walks around the block. We have a fenced in yard, great for them to run free. We’ve got dog beds, fun toys and lots of fresh water always available.
“Ollie had the best time with Carrie and her 2 pups! Her yard was great for them to play and I felt super comfortable leaving him with her for the night. She was excellent at communicating and I will absolutely use her again!!”
“Brody and his Dad are the best. The set up is perfect..the dogs loved the large fenced yard to run and play. They came home happy and loved. Moose is an older Shitzu mix, with cataracts and is hard of hearing, but Brody gave him extra love, during his week long stay, and sent photos and videos. Bentley is a 7yr old toy Manchester Terrier, who had the time of his life playing with the other dogs!Brody (and his Dad) cared for our dogs so well. A big thanks!”
“We had a last minute boarding request and Molly was there to our rescue. Our Lab puppies loved running and playing in her huge fenced yard. Molly's two dogs accepted them into their pack in seconds and the fun zoomies began. We received several great pictures throughout their stay and could tell our pups were in good hands.”
“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!”
