She always sends updates and is such a loving and wonderful person. Really appreciate having someone like Vicky to watch our fur babe when we go out of town!”

“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup “away from home “ and we were a bit concerned how things would go. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and attention Katie and Jeremy provided. Katie gave us multiple updates each day and sent several photos and videos highlighting just how much fun our girl was having. We will definitely have them watch our girl in the future.”
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 do work as a veterinary nurse in the area, 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.
“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!”

“Benjamin was extremely kind and understanding when we had to cancel in the middle of the booking due to an emergency! We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Sam was cat sitting during Hurricane Helene and went above and beyond for my cat. Knowing she was able to keep him fed made such a difference. Sam was incredibly responsive and worked hard to get my shy guy to open up. I will absolutely be rebooking. Thank you, Sam!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Sherrie took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, providing regular updates and lots of love and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and Sherrie had even brought all of our holiday packages inside without us even requesting. Highly recommend Sherrie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Claire was wonderful with Georgie! She took the time to meet us beforehand, and she and Georgie hit it off right awa, you could tell Claire genuinely loves getting to know the dogs she cares for. As a puppy, Georgie needs midday potty breaks and some playtime when I can't get home from the office, and Claire gave her a great visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing Georgie was in good hands. Highly recommend Claire for anyone needing reliable, caring midday check-ins. I will be using her in the future!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior felines requiring extra attention. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and dedication to each cat’s unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing enrichment through play and affection. I also take pride in maintaining a clean and stress-free environment, ensuring litter boxes are spotless and living spaces stay fresh. My goal is to provide the same level of care and comfort that cats receive from their owners, creating a smooth and reassuring experience for both pets and their humans
“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 have a special place in my heart for cats. They are such beautiful and often misunderstood animals, and I love taking the time to understand each cat’s unique personality and needs. Whether that means cuddling with a lap cat like mine used to be, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them affection from a respectful distance, I believe in creating an environment where cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid medications, pill poppers, and oral syringes. Our most recent cat, Willow, was an absolute sweetheart and later in life required both pill and liquid medications. Caring for him gave me even more hands-on experience with patient, gentle, and attentive care, especially when it comes to senior or medically sensitive pets.
“Grace took amazing care of my cat while I was away, providing the love and care he needed to feel safe and the clear communication and responsiveness I need to have peace of mind. From the first interaction, Grace took the time to provide a professional and attentive service, including a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she took care of my cat exactly how I liked. She also watered/watched my garden and kept everything looking great, an extra perk! I have no complaints and will rebook Grace for the next time I'm out of town. Thank you again, Grace!”

“Caroline was so gracious to host Vito in her home! We were able to explore Asheville worry free knowing Vito was safe in her care. Caroline took Vito for walks & even sent a midday text & photo to assure us Vito was happy. I highly recommend Caroline to take care of your dog while visiting Asheville!”
“Alyssa and Bryan took such great care of our two girls and they have come back happy and tired both times we’ve sent them! They kept us updated with photos and letting us know what they had been up to. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Zoe and Riley and I’m very happy to have found them to take care of my crew. They have a great space and yard for the dogs to play and explore, which was a big draw for me. Will definitely book them again!”
“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!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”
“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!”
“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.”
“April was amazing with our dogs! She was very communicative and sent update photos to show us how much fun and relaxation our dogs had at her home. Highly recommend booking with April!”
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 an animal lover my whole life! I got into pet grooming at an early age and have worked and managed in a few different salons around Asheville, NC. I have extensive knowledge of animals such as keeping things sanitary and following strict schedules, diets and plans to fit the animals needs. I am currently available any day and am only accepting drop in visits and bathing at this time. I am new to Rover so I am looking for my first bookings. I can provide references of animals I have cared for previously. I can stick to a strict diet plan and bathe if needed. I will keep your home tidy during the visits and follow any instructions that are left with me.
“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 :-)”
“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.”
About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have community activities out but they do not dominate my day. I spend my time focused on creativity (working on art and music projects) at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am very active and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, I am here most of the time. My husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). If boarding in my home, I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.
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 or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. 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 or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.
“Brody is very accommodating and friendly dog sitter. My first impressions is that he is someone who is very trustworthy and caring for dogs. My two pups had an amazing time with him, and I am looking forward to future visits to Asheville and knowing that the dogs will have an exciting and safe experience.”

I live in Weaverville and would love to help out with taking care of your pet or pets! Im a personal trainer, my hours are 4am-2/3pm. I am available with at least a 2 day notice.

“Neil was a perfect fit for my doggos! My mini Aussie is skeptical of new people and he was patient with her and my golden(who is easy going) enjoyed Neil caring for him as well. He’s communicative and quick to respond which I appreciate while I’m away from my animals. I’d recommend Neil to anyone who needs a trustworthy, patient, understanding and great with instructions dog watcher.”
“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!”
About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.
“Bess is so wonderful with our sweet pup! We are grateful to have her recurring, reliable help making certain he is well loved and well exercised. He always has the biggest smile on his face in the photos Bess sends of their time together…and he is always tuckered out when we return from those long days at work. Thank you, Bess!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of our little fur friend! Pics were great and update was thorough. And all at the last minute! Highly recommend if looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter! Will definitely be using her services again. Many thanks Ashley!”
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.

About: I’m a registered nurse with experience in behavioral health, and I have both a puppy and a senior dog at home. I understand the patience, structure, and attentiveness pets need at every stage of life. I prioritize safety, routine, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and cared for I work three 12-hour shifts as a nurse, so my schedule varies each week. Because of that flexibility, I’m a great option for last-minute bookings, random one-offs, or when your regular walker isn’t available. I offer dependable drop-ins and walks focused on meals, potty breaks, and quality attention. I only provide walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to focus fully on your pet in their own home environment. As a nurse, I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific feeding, medication, or behavior instructions. Your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my priority.

About: As someone who grew up always having dogs, I came to appreciate their companionship and playfulness and how they are family. My friends' dogs are often intuitively drawn to me. I do not work on the weekends and only see one client via telehealth on Wednesday, so I have lots of flexibility and time for walks. Whether you are a local needing a date night or a visitor exploring our mountains and breweries, I’m here to ensure your pup has a vacation just as exciting as yours. My goal is to be the 'fun uncle' who spoils them with affection, safe adventures, and all the belly rubs they can handle. From high-energy hikers to professional couch potatoes, I tailor my care to match your pet's unique vibe. You can enjoy the Blue Ridge worry-free, knowing your best friend is getting five-star treatment (and probably a few extra treats). Let's connect and get your tail-wagger booked for their own little getaway.

About: I'm an animal lover looking to care for your beloved dogs and cats. I can't imagine a home without a pet and I care for your animals as if they were my own. I am currently available to provide dog walks, care for your cats or other small animals, and stay with your animals overnight. I'm happy to pet sit at your home and can water plants, pick up mail, etc while you are away and will consider boarding dogs at my home if they are able to cohabitate with a cat. I can provide both personal and professional references. We can discuss each animal on a case by base basis; including what you are looking for when caring for your animals, payment, and transportation. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pets! I work full-time as a pet sitter. I accept work on a first come first serve basis. Previous worked in MA and now in Asheville. While caring for your dogs and cats I will clean up common messes, vomit, the occasional indoor poop from small dogs and spraying from male cats. If your pets create more extensive cleaning there may be an additional cleaning fee.
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.
“John D is awesome and Ruby loves him! He has made such a difference in her! If you are on the fence about dog walking, it’s so worth it! I highly recommend John. He is also teaching her better manners on the leash. We couldn’t be happier with him and his great care of Ruby!”
About: I have two dogs at home. I have taken my oldest to puppy kindergarten when he was little and trained him and also trained my other dog as well. They are well trained and behaved. I am currently out of school and am looking for some side work while I try to get a other job. I have house and pet sat and babysat in the past so this would be easy. I have a beautiful big fenced yard to play and two very sweet dogs(one 12 year old boy and one 4 year old girl). I have a nice walk from my house I go on with my dogs often.

“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!”
“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.”
“My dog had a great time with Sarah and her family. He was well-cared for, got along with their dog, and got lots of exercise and attention. It was a great experience and I appreciated the pictures she sent!”
“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.”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup “away from home “ and we were a bit concerned how things would go. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and attention Katie and Jeremy provided. Katie gave us multiple updates each day and sent several photos and videos highlighting just how much fun our girl was having. We will definitely have them watch our girl in the future.”
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 do work as a veterinary nurse in the area, 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.
“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!”
“Brody is great! I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 dogs with him, his set up is perfect and there are river dogs around for them to play with all week. Brody treats the pups like his own and we will definitely use him again!”
About: I grew up in a house full of pets and I love taking care of animals, it’s always so fun meeting new pets and getting to know their personalities. I work remotely and I can be pretty flexible with my schedule. Happy to check in at any time and provide the necessary caregiving for your pet! I have a fenced in dog park that is rarely used at my apartment complex. I don’t mind going on extended walks and administering medicine when needed.
“I trust Gabriel with Molly because he is kind, considerate, and really pays attention to her. She likes his dog, Kira, so that's also a bonus. I love it when he is available to take her!!”
“Every time I pick up our dogs they are so happy. It’s really reassuring to know the people taking care of them love them as much as we do. 100% recommend Megan for the peace of mind!”
“Amazing host! This was the first away stay for Rex since the passing of his older sister Macie. He appears to have been babied, went on all the walks, and did all kinds of other fun things - he has requested any future stays to be with Jacque. We would highly recommend her to our family and friends.”
“Katie and Preston were awesome with Charlie for his first stay with them! They provided daily feedback and pictures of Charlie and were very responsive with texts/message. Will definitely rebook with them!”
