“We went on a short family trip to Georgia and our little pup Cosmo spent quality time in good hands at James home for a few days. He enjoyed his time spent outside in the yard and hanging with James’ family.”
“Great Experience! While watching my puppy over the weekend they provided consistent updates the entire time. I really appreciated the regular photos and messages that gave a peace of mind knowing my puppy was doing well while I was away. My puppy also got a ton of playtime and attention!”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
“Alexis did a great job watching my dog Elroy for 3.5 days while we were away. She sent us updates and photos and let us know how he was getting along with the other dogs she was watching. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her and he came back tired and happy. I’ll definitely be returning next time I need someone.”
“I hope the star system worked but if not they are a 10 in my book. Nancy and Jay were amazing and they made the experience wonderful. I felt like I knew daily what my babies were doing and it was such peace of mind. I highly recommend them and their services!!!! Wonderful experience...”
“Katie &Jeremy are amazing multiple updates daily with great pictures. My dog couldn’t be happier when he comes home from being with them. I have booked with them multiple times. They are amazing sitters.”
“Another wonderful stay with Maria and Jose! They receive my highest recommendation! I am so grateful for their daily communication with pics and videos. Their attention to detail is exceptional! It is a huge comfort knowing that my pup is in the best of hands when I travel. Thank you again, Maria and Jose!”
“Kali was a great sitter for Rosie! Her dogs were great companions and kept her active. Kali was very responsive, attentive, and over all a pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyone who has an active dog!”
“Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.”
“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!”
“We spent the night at the Biltmore while we were in Asheville and our fur baby went to stay with Kristin. Super convenient and Izzy came back exhausted! Thank you again!”
“Lacie is amazing! Our 2 year old Cockapoo Otis has been going to her house for the past 3+ months for both day care and overnight visits. Lacie is kind and very intuitive with animals. She provided Otis with a wonderful home environment while we were away. He absolutely loves playing with her son and her own friendly pets. Thank you Lacie for all the wonderful care you gave our pup!”
“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!”
“Ann & Jaren are fantastic. It definitely made our trip easier knowing that our dog was in loving hands. The picture updates were a nice a touch. Ann & Jaren will be our go-to for any future travels.”
“While visiting Asheville, we needed someone to take care of Happy meanwhile we had dinner at a not pet-friendly restaurant -- and we were very pleased with all the love (and message update) Terri gave our furry daughter. We dropped off and pick up Happy at Terri's farm, and get to know two of her beautiful dogs.”
“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.”

“Jesse was absolutely fantastic. She made sure everything was understood when we met and kept great contact with me while I was away. She was able to navigate a special request I had during the drop in. She definitely cares about animals, that comes through clearly and she is absolutely dependable.”
“Sabrie did a great job taking care of my cat Mittens. She sent me updates and photos which made me feel at ease that my cat was being taken care of. I would definitely use her again.”
“Brittany went above and beyond! It was clear how much she cared about our cat. She played with him, fed him, gave him lots of love, and made sure he was safe while we were gone. We would 100% hire her to take care of our boy again :)”
“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”
“Carolyn did a wonderful job caring for my two cats while I was away. They quickly adjusted to her visits and seemed very comfortable in her care. She followed all of my instructions closely and made sure everything was taken care of each day. I really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind I had knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Autumn took care of my cat for a long trip at the last minute. She was communicative and quickly visited to meet my cat and learn the routines. She was consistent and let me know that he was being taken care of while I was gone. That made me feel better as I don't like to leave him. I felt like he was looked after well.”
“Wow! Heather is an absolute gem who exceeded our expectations and put our anxieties to rest! I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She is competent, friendly, ready to help, and most importantly, was really sweet and patient with our cats--one of whom is extremely shy of strangers. By the end of our vacation Heather had won over and made friends with our scaredy boy kitty. Heather kept us apprised of each visit with photos as well as detailed and humorous updates that really set our minds and hearts at ease. She was also more than willing to water a few of our plants and tend to a few things around our house. Please book Heather if you are looking for the very best pet sitter!”
“Denise will do the extras just as I would. I like to have youtube play music & scenery in the background for everyone. Denise takes care of that and any other detail requests I have to make sure everyone is cozy when Im away. Meds, diet changes, etc. She can handle all of it. Glad I found her, has helped so much.”
“Karmyn was thorough in her updates after visiting my cats, attentive to their needs, and followed directions really well. We appreciate her being willing to go above and beyond for us.”
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.
“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 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: Hello, I've shared my life with cats since childhood, so I understand their unique personalities, routines, and need for patience and respect. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they need while you're away. I'll follow their daily routine, provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend time playing with them, and send you regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. I treat every cat as if they were my own, so you can travel knowing they're in caring and reliable 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. 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!!”
“I can’t wait to leave Lola again with James. I can assure that she was in the best hands sharing this time with James’ family. Highly recommended. They treated Lola like another family member.”
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: 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!

“Awesome! Molly was a little rambunctious and full of Australian Shepard puppy energy but Carolyn was very patient and caring! Awesome experience from the introduction thru the first visit and overall great experience. We definitely will always request Carolyn every time we need someone to help with Molly! What a very wonderful experience!!”
About: I’ve been a full time dog mom since 2007 and have cared for a variety of different breeds and temperament's. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m extremely active and love to get the pups outside on walks, runs, hikes, etc. Also, I’m always home so the dogs would never be left by themselves which is hard to find in sitters post-Covid. Love to take photos so you’ll receive many updates throughout the day if wanted. Dogs are meticulously cared for and treated like my own. Happy to accommodate even the quirkiest of requests. I work full time but from home with my daughter, who also helps with the pups! I have a flexible schedule/laptop so we are free for walks and playtime constantly. I do not work on weekends so I try to go on short trips those days! I have a nice open floor plan home (2100sqft) that is 100% dog friendly. My 3 year old human and 6 old golden lab are home full time to play and give attention in addition to me. I also have a 1/3rd acre backyard perfect for running laps and playing fetch!

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. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently work only about 10 hours a week, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and other care needs, and I can work with your pet’s routine and schedule. Having a flexible schedule also means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve rather than rushing through a visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I follow their feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions closely while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping things clean and secure. Most importantly, I communicate with owners throughout the stay and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: With years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home or mine.

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: 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!”
“Thank you so much for walking the dogs! Alison walkes and handled our 2 playful dogs and sent us updates! She was also on time and followed the instructions for treats! We will contact her again when we visit Asheville again! ?”

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 always have loved pets! When I was growing up everyone around me wanted me to walk/care/ or watch their dog / pet Because they knew I would exceed their needs and more! I am also a mom of two under two so besides pets I also love kids! And all of my pets are kid and pet friendly:)! Thanks for looking at my page! Hope to see you and your furry pal soon :) I’m a very flexible individual! And I am always willing to adjust anything to fit your furry friends daily routine! Im always willing to go out of my way for any pet! :) I’m also a stay at home mom so my schedule is basically open anytime because I’m always home and available! I don’t have a fenced back yard, but I’m always monitoring any pets that are outside on leash. and it’s a very moderate household. We are usually doing something outdoorsy or going on some fun adventure! And we will always exceed your pets needs and adjust our household to just that while your pet stays. :)

“We went on a short family trip to Georgia and our little pup Cosmo spent quality time in good hands at James home for a few days. He enjoyed his time spent outside in the yard and hanging with James’ family.”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
“Alexis did a great job watching my dog Elroy for 3.5 days while we were away. She sent us updates and photos and let us know how he was getting along with the other dogs she was watching. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her and he came back tired and happy. I’ll definitely be returning next time I need someone.”
“I hope the star system worked but if not they are a 10 in my book. Nancy and Jay were amazing and they made the experience wonderful. I felt like I knew daily what my babies were doing and it was such peace of mind. I highly recommend them and their services!!!! Wonderful experience...”
“Katie &Jeremy are amazing multiple updates daily with great pictures. My dog couldn’t be happier when he comes home from being with them. I have booked with them multiple times. They are amazing sitters.”
“Kali was a great sitter for Rosie! Her dogs were great companions and kept her active. Kali was very responsive, attentive, and over all a pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyone who has an active dog!”
“Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Joseph and Andrea are a wonderful family with pets of their own. They took my dog Billie even though she had a lite cough and was possibly contagious. They boarded her separately and gave her tons of affection and attention. Which I couldn’t be more grateful for. I can’t wait to bring Billie back when she can play with the pack !”
“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!!”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“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!”
“These two are incredible. They treat Nova like their own dog - taking her on local adventures to a farmers market or shop (with being respctful of boundaries - asking our permission prior). Our pup, Nova, always comes back to us happy and tired. We keep coming back :)”
