“Nancy was wonderful with my two dogs and they came home tired and happy. Her backyard and outdoor spaces offer room to run around and a large deck so they could sit out in the sun. They had their own "suite" and a couch they shared for times they wanted to be inside and nap. She sent me daily pictures and it was clear they were having fun. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn and her family were so wonderful to our dog, Cocoa! They treated her like their own and she was so spoiled staying with them! Kaitlyn sent several photo updates throughout each day! She took Cocoa on multiple daily walks, made sure she ate her food, gave her a new toy, and even sent her home with a new bandana! It was purr-fect!”

“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.”
“Heather is the best! If you are searching through sitters you can stop right here because she has it all - Heather is friendly, communicative, competent, and clearly cares about our little guys. Our one little kitty is exceptionally shy and anxious and Heather won him over entirely. Having Heather watch our kitties has given us the most tremendous peace of mind. I couldn't recommend Heather more highly!”

“Ashleigh took such great care of my babies - I knew I'd be leaving them in good hands when we did the meet and greet, and it couldn't be more true. Her reports filled me with comfort while I was away, knowing she was looking after them with love.”

“We are so grateful for Karmyn’s care of our two kitties. She sent frequent updates and photos. They clearly felt comfortable and loved in her home, we couldn’t be happier to have connected with her. Thank you Karmyn! 🙏🏽💕”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all types of personalities for about 6 years now. I have experience with oral medication and both robot and manual litter boxes. I’ve won over some of the more introverted personalities I’ve encountered and respect when your cat doesn’t want a cuddle buddy.
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
“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.”
“Debbie was fantastic. She took detailed notes to make sure she understood the needs of our dogs. They are older and need a little extra care so this was important to us. She sent us text updates and pictures to let us know how they were doing. It gave us piece of mind so that we were able to enjoy our trip without constant worry about our pups.”

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.
“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.”

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: 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.
“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.”
About: I have had pets all my life and at this time I have 2 very gentle German Shepherds that get along well with other dogs. I actually jog 3 miles with one of them several times a week so taking dogs for a walk will not be a problem. I have a part time job that I work out of my house so I am available everyday except Sunday mornings when I go to church. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and has showed me some CPR. He will be around some days and will be able to assist me if need be. I am at a time in my life right now where I have the time to enjoy my pets and would love to offer my services to people with their fur-babies. I am retired and so is my husband. We just love all dogs and this gives us lots of pleasure being able to care for them. I have a wraparound porch in the mountains that has a closed gate. Also, have an area that is fenced with a ramp going down to this fenced yard, dogs can go freely.
“Molly was wonderful to meet and took great care of our GSP. We can recommend her without hesitation. Her pup and ours played so well together. Hope to use Molly’s pet services when we return to Asheville.”

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!
“Matteo was great with my big, high energy, reactive dog! He was also extremely communicative and punctual, and he even brought a package inside for me! I will definitely be using Matteo's services again!”

About: With years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home or mine. Whether you’re away for a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, I will treat your furry children as if they were part of our own family. From following their routines and administering medication to offering plenty of playtime, companionship, and snuggles, I make sure your pets stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re gone. I know all to well the worry that can take place when you have to leave them home. I can offer you the peace needed that they will be the center of my attention. I am free to follow your routines and give you and your pets my undivided attention. I am a retired elderly care professional with time to share love. While taking care of your pets I pay attention to the details. From following your instructions and routine to being very careful with all aspects of their wellbeing.

About: As a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter, I bring a genuine passion for animals and a commitment to providing the highest level of care for your furry family members. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach—each dog is unique, and I tailor my services to meet their individual needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires a gentle pace. With a strong focus on communication, I ensure you're always updated on your pet's activities and well-being. My priority is to create a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. I believe in reliability, punctuality, and a calm, confident demeanor that animals respond well to, helping even the most timid pets feel comfortable and secure. As a stay-at-home dad, I spend my days with my 4-year-old, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. We enjoy outdoor activities, so dog walking fits perfectly into our routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. It's important that any dog I care for is comfortable around children, as my little one will often be part of our walks and playtime. Your pet will be in a loving, active environment where they’re treated like family. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize a routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I ensure pets are fed regularly, with my puppy receiving three meals a day. I’m diligent about providing frequent potty breaks, especially after naps, meals, and playtimes. I engage pets in stimulating exercise that is both fun and beneficial, like retrieving and tug of war, which my puppy loves. I also create a safe and comfortable space for them to rest, such as a crate for my puppy. Throughout the day, I incorporate short obedience training sessions to reinforce good behavior and keep their minds active.
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.

I’m very active and would love to get your dogs outside on walks, runs, or hikes. I have always treated our animals like part of the family and I will treat your pet with the same love, respect, and kindness that I give to my own. My rates reflect quality - but affordable - pet care. I send a lot of picture updates throughout the day in order to set your mind at ease - I know how hard it can be to leave your pet while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule since I am a stay at home mom! Just let me know your current needs and I can likely accommodate most schedules.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a calm, happy environment. Whether it’s giving medication, handling high-energy dogs, or comforting shy pets, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Our pets are our best friends, and it's my goal to ensure that we enjoy our time together! While it may be my job to provide care and love to your pets while you're away, I can also say that I value my time spent with each animal! Nothing makes my heart happier than a wagging tail or a slobbery kiss :) I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets both during school semesters and breaks. I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. 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.

I can stay in-home for more involved care, or drop in for feedings, potty-breaks, and play time daily.
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!”

People trust me to take care of their animals like they were my own children. There is nothing more joyful than hanging out with a pet, and I look forward to spoiling your babies as well! About me: My husband and I moved to Waynesville in 2021 from the tri-state area; yes, I'm a Jersey Girl! Bob will probably join me on walks and drop-ins, so you'll get two sitters for the price of one! We have two rescue dogs - Beukeboom, who is a Cavachon, and Cassidy, who is a crazy zoomie dog! I have a flexible schedule, so whatever time you need assistance, I can be there for you. I know what it's like to need help with pups! I treat your dogs the same way I treat mine, which is like my own children. I have to hire sitters for my own dogs, so I know what it means to be able to trust someone.

“Autumn has watched my boys even before she came to Rover and I still wouldn’t trust them with anyone. My boys love her and her kiddos. So I’m a repeat befor Rover and will be a lifer with Autumn💙💙”

“When I say this is the best sitter I’ve had my doodle comes back hydrated looking and smelling fresh and clean and most of all happy I appreciate the offer and beyond you are very kind and we are thankful Kay & Koko”
“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 was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Sharon was amazing to help us when we were in need of someone to board our dog. She took him in last minute, loved on him, and went above and beyond for our boy! We are so thankful for her attentiveness and care. We will be booking with Sharon again!”
“Roxy had the absolute best time at Joseph and Andrea’s. I have a really hard time leaving her, but immediately felt less anxious upon meeting Joseph and seeing the awesome setup they have for dogs at their home. They made Roxy a little part of the family for the time they had her, and I genuinely didn’t have to worry one bit. Thank you again!!”
“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!”
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.
“I am officially a repeat customer! Caroline is easy to work with and flexible when things need to change. I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie with her and her family.”
