Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.”

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!
“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!”
“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!”
“Autumn was great. Our dogsitter fell through last minute and Autumn stepped in to fill the gap. She communicated daily with updates and photos, and was very accomdating about pick up and drop off time adjustments. My senior (nearly blind) lab was happy upon my return.”
“This was JoJo’s first boarding experience. He seemed to have had a great time playing with the other dogs. Kristen took the time to send messages and photos of JoJo enjoying himself while we were gone. We will definitely use Kristen again.”
“Terri was amazing with our very active pup. She sent daily pictures and updates while we were away he was clean and healthy when we pick him up. They are great and loving people and I highly recommend them!!”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her 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!”

“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!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and understanding. I have experience working with older dogs and sick animals, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things and recognize when a pet may not be feeling their best. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would want for my own pets.
“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. She responded quickly to any questions I had and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing they were doing just fine ! She also brought in my mail and packages and sent photos each visit .”
“Karmyn accepted feedback when it was shared, and met our pets needs. She learns their habits and made sure to see them at least once during each visit (scaredy cats!) thank you !”
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: I’ve had many cats since the day I was born, and have always had at least one ever since. I am great with senior cats and love to play with any younger cats or kittens who need nourishment and/or exercise. I am very patient with all personalities of cat, from rambunctious to shy, and love to bond with them
“Carrie G. did an outstanding job of caring for Oreo & Callie! She was patient & kind as they can be skiddish with people they don’t know, especially Callie. Callie actually came out from hiding & let Carrie pet her which is amazing in itself. I will be calling on Carrie G. the next time I need a pet sitter for my cats without a doubt! She is a wonderful person!”
“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: 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.
About: Feline friends and family need a special person who truly understands their unique moods and needs. Some cats love affection and snuggles, while others prefer their space — and that’s okay. I’ll be there to provide whatever care your cats require, whether it’s a gentle presence nearby or interactive play when they’re feeling energetic. From daily feeding and litter box maintenance to companionship and peace of mind, I treat your cats with patience, love, and understanding. Whether you’re gone for a weekend or a vacation, you can rest assured your furry friends are in reliable, experienced hands.

“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.

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.

About: Hello! I'm a passionate animal lover, and I'd be delighted to care for your beloved pets while you're away, whether it's for a weekend, a vacation, or regular visits throughout the year. I'm a kind, patient, and dependable person who understands how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I share my home with a cat and have experience caring for dogs including a Swiss Mountain Dog and a Belgian Malinois, as well as farm animals. In addition to feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, I'm happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. If needed, I can also bring in your mail and water your plants during my visits. Before moving to the United States a little over a year ago, I earned a French certification in companion animal care (dogs and cats), which strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior and responsible care. Every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's needs. Stephanie.

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. 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. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. 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. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

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!

“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her 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!”
“Sharon is an absolutely amazingly good person and cares deeply about the pets in her care. Sharon updated us on Cedric throughout the day with videos and photos of him interacting with her and another pet. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her, we knew he was getting exceptional care with Sharon. It’s a great feeling to know you can go away and your pup will be in good hands at “Camp Sharon’s”! Thank you Sharon, we appreciate you.”
“This was our first time leaving our two dogs with Brody for a few days while we traveled out of town. Brody took excellent care of them and provided frequent updates so that we could focus on our time away and not worry about our boys. He clearly enjoys what he does. We plan to use Brody again and highly recommend him.”
“Savanah took incredible care of our old lab while we were on vacation. She made the whole process for us very simple and gave daily photo updates. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Kyle was great! My sweet girl Hope is very shy, but Kyle gave me assurance that she would be well taken care of and she was. She came out of her shell and even play with their dog Lou. I highly recommend her and will use her services in the future. Thanks again Kyle, Randy and Lou!”
“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!”
“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!”
