“James and Amy are true animal lovers who truly care about pets! I could tell I made the right decision when I chose them after his first communication with me. I had no doubt Sumo was in good hands…I think they loved him and he got the greatest care! They even gave Sumo his medication and kept us updated on how he was doing. These folks are a definite 5 stars…thank you so much, James and Amy!”

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. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***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.
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

“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”
“Autumn is a great pet sitter! My cats were well cared for and she sent updates and photos each visit. She responded quickly to any questions and I was confident that my kitties were fine 😻”
“Kaysee and her fiancé are nothing short of amazing. My cat was completely comfortable and was treated with the upmost care and love. They are very professional and detail oriented and will send you tons of pictures and updates on your pet. Your fur baby is in good hands with these two!”
“Tina took amazing care of our cat Rory while we were away for the holidays. She was incredibly through, loving, and communicative throughout the whole week we were gone. Will definitely be utilizing Tina’s services again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10. I love all breeds! I’ve always owned cats and pride myself on knowing exactly how to make them feel comfortable with me as we know cats can be very picky and anxious. I’m experienced in giving medications. I am a patient person with lots of love to give.
About: Hi! I’ve been with Rover for 10+ years. As well as nine to five pets for 3 years.I know how important loving, reliable care is. I especially adore Brussels Griffons, but I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and ages. ❤️ I send detailed reports and photo updates on your pups visit and will give them all my attention :) I work remote so I have flexibility to do walks every 2-4 hours. I will be able to come by at various times of day I will have the dog on the leash at all times outside unless noted otherwise. I can take them outside and play within fenced in yard.
About: I have taken care of cats since adopting my own two cats at 8 years old. Since then, I have cared for senior kitties, young kittens, and cats in need of various medications. I am comfortable caring for cats with highly specialized care. I understand that many cats can experience stress while their owners are away so I go above and beyond to ensure that they are well cared for.
“Donna was the perfect pet sitter while I was on vacation for 10 days. She was very communicative, sent photos throughout my absence, kept my home clean and well taken care of, and was very thoughtful toward my cat, Lulu. Donna had a sheet that I filled out with all the information needed to take care of Lulu - I never had a pet sitter be so organized and thoughtful. Lulu is also special needs, requiring a supplement and an eye out to make sure she doesn't jump off anything too high. Donna did great in understanding what needed to be done. She's also a sweet and caring person. I highly recommend Donna and will most definitely book her pet services again.”

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!!”
“James took great care of our boy for the day! This was my first time using River for doggy daycare, and it went very smoothly. We received pictures and updates throughout the day which was wonderful to come back to once we got service returning from our hike. Would recommend whether you live here or are visiting the area!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life & since pet sitting is my only job, I’m home full time to give your pet constant attention & companionship Pet sitting naturally fits into my day-I am home caring for my “puppers”, so I’m always available to give your pet attention, activity & companionship! Since I’m home all day, your pet gets individual attention, walks, cat tree lounging out of a window & playtime with my cat friendly dog
“Alexis is great- welcoming, and friendly. Upon meeting her you can immediately tell she enjoys living on her small farm and taking care of animals. We felt very comfortable with our dog hanging out with her. Good communicator. Highly recommend.”
“Carrie was an awesome sitter for my pup Benny! She was very communicative & she kept me updated on his day along with pictures. My pup seemed to really enjoy his stay! I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me. I live in a quiet, comfortable home that’s very pet‑friendly and easy for animals to settle into. Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled. Safe indoor environment: Inside, pets can relax, nap, and settle in a pet‑friendly space where I’m always nearby. At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets. Communication: You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — changes in appetite, behavior, or comfort — I’ll let you know right away.
“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”
“Kristin was great. This was Ranger first time at a doggy day care and Kristin was very understanding. She sent me an email that he was doing great and then a follow up picture. Thank you so much Kristin. Will definitely contact you next time we are in 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..”
“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.”
“So happy to find Miranda! Kios 🐶 loves her and her big backyard and all the fun playmates to have fun with. I appreciate Miranda’s expertise and conscious decisions to ensure the welfare of each dog’s experience. It feels good to know Kios is in good hands while I’m off being busy.”
“Jennie and Craig graciously agreed to take our dog, Jetson, on very short notice. They are extremely kind and hospitable, even after Jetson summarily relieved himself on their Christmas tree. 🙄 That was horrifying. They have a huge fenced back yard and their golden retriever was the sweetest thing ever!! So cuddly and sweet!!! I cannot recommend Jennie and Craig highly enough. You can't ask for a better home away from home for your pup.”
“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!!! :)”

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to pet sit, walk, feed, and play with their pets. I have a 10-month-old mini long-haired dachshund named Tucker, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and daily routines.

About: Hi! I’m Celeste — your dog’s new favorite auntie 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover originally from Denver, now living right in downtown Asheville with my 5-year-old “puppy” (yes, she still thinks she’s a baby). We go on daily mountain walks, explore the city, and spend way too much time cuddling — so your dog will fit right into our routine. I’m dependable, nurturing, and super communicative. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained the whole time. Whether your pup needs hikes, chill couch time, consistent structure, or someone who just gets dog personalities — I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶💛 I do work a full time job that is Monday - Friday 9-5 and livr in Arden. In the weekends I am absolutely free and I am able to house sit and dog walk. I would be available on the weekdays depending on your location and if the animals can be alone for 8 hours. In My Home: I create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in downtown Asheville with my friendly 5-year-old pup, and we follow a steady routine of walks, playtime, and mellow downtime. Visiting pets get the same treatment as my own — constant supervision, lots of affection, fresh water at all times, and a cozy place to relax. I keep my space clean, dog-proofed, and stress-free so every animal feels comfortable and at home. In Their Home: I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them grounded and secure. I handle feeding, walking, potty schedules, medication (if needed), enrichment, and plenty of snuggles. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get updates and photos as often as you’d like. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away — no disruption, just comfort.
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.

Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾

“James and Amy are true animal lovers who truly care about pets! I could tell I made the right decision when I chose them after his first communication with me. I had no doubt Sumo was in good hands…I think they loved him and he got the greatest care! They even gave Sumo his medication and kept us updated on how he was doing. These folks are a definite 5 stars…thank you so much, James and Amy!”
“Nancy looked after my Nova and took great care of her. She provided updates and photos and I know she was in good hands and great company with her other dogs. I’d totally recommend her! Thank you Nancy for taking such good care of Nova!!”
“So grateful for the care this family provided for my sweet Penny! Not only did they navigate the winter weather, they accommodated me needing to have Penny stay an extra day. They sent lots of photos and their precious son gave my dog lots of lovins! I hope to be able to have Penny stay again. :)”
“Alexis lives on such a beautiful property with plenty of room for our dog to run around and enjoy the open space! King had the best time. Alexis was super communicative and accommodating for our baby! We would definitely book again!”
“Kali was absolutely amazing! We have brought our dog to her twice now and she has had a blast every time! She is extremely flexible and takes amazing care of our dog! I could not recommend Kali more!”

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. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***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.
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Jess, Danny, their daughters and pets were fantastic with Opal! They gave me daily updates about how she was integrating into their household and it made me feel at ease to know she was being well loved while I was away. They have kids, a dog and cats. Opal had never spent any time with cats or children and she did great with them! I’m so glad she had such an enriching experience as I want for her to be a well socialized dog. I’m a proud dog mom!! Their updates included all the details a pet owner would want to know & we’re really heart warming to receive. Opal enjoyed being loved on by their sweet daughters, rough housing with their dog and cuddling with their cat. She truly was a part of the family. I would love to use their services again because I know she had a really great time and felt right at home! Thank you Jess and Danny!”
“Joe and Andrea were truly the best Rover we’ve had in Asheville since getting these puppies. They gave us tons of pictures and updates daily, had no problem with the pill pockets our girls need to take, and even helped our super shy Covid pup come out of her shell and have a great time. Will be using them for all dog care for the foreseeable future!”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“Nellie had a great time. Brody was kind and Nellie enjoyed her stay. He sent me video’s showing me how Nellie was doing. She loved running and playing with the other dogs. I loved the fact she was not in a crate. I hope to continue using Brody for other occasions.”
“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!”
