“Alexis was great! Rook was happy when I picked her up and Alexis sent photos each day. Never had to worry about her while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“James family was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs over Thanksgiving. He texted us during our trip and the dogs were very happy and well cared for when we picked them up. They have several dogs of the same breed, and our dogs loved playing with them!”
“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!”
“Gus had a wonderful weekend with Jeremy and Katie! They have a very peaceful space and are so welcoming. I got to see pictures of Gus several times a day, and he was happy (but tired) when I picked him up. I will definitely book a staycation for Gus with them again!”
“Kali was wonderful! She has has an obvious natural love for animals & made our dog feel immediately welcome & comfortable. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Jose and Maria always take excellent care of my little dog! I receive daily updates including pictures and videos. When I travel, I don’t worry about my little girl because she’s in wonderful hands! Thank you guys!”
“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!”
“Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and kind. During my dog’s stay I received sweet photos with updates. My girl became fast friends with Nancy’s dog Chico and was happy when I picked her up. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“Definitely recommend Kristin for dog boarding!! I received lots of photo updates, great communication and my dog was happy and worn out when I picked him up. He slept all day to recover from the fun :)”
“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.”
“Terri has watched my pup a few times now and it's been great each time! The most recent time was for a whole week. I was concerned about finding someone who could handle a wild and not-yet fully trained puppy and Terri has been so sweet, gracious and relaxed about everything. She even sent me photo/video so I could see how Zelda was doing. I love the farm atmosphere that Terri provides. She's clearly a true animal lover and Zelda seems to enjoy spending time visiting with both the human and animal friends she's made at Terri's. So glad we found someone capable, trustworthy and kind!”
“Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. 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.”
“Connie and her husband were absolutely amazing. We felt that Lucy Lu was in great hands. We loved that we got a video and pictures every day. They also took her on walks which was so nice. She was a great communicator. We will absolutely leave Lucy Lu with Connie whenever we are in Raleigh.”
“Paul is the best. My normally anxious dog LOVED being part of Paul’s family: lots of love and attention plus Paul kept us up to date with pics and messages. His house and yard are IMMACULATE and full of toys for doggies . Lots of inviting dog beds and blankets too! Paul is a TREASURE… that’s what my dog told me!”
“I am so grateful of Vicky’s hard work to help my skittish pup come out of her shell while I was out of town. Vicky was great at communicating and sending pictures throughout the visit! Thanks Vicky!!”
“We are so happy that we finally found a place where our pup Jetty feels relaxed and at home. Joseph sent us so many great pics and messages about how she was doing during her ten day stay. It’s such a relief to know she has 24 hour care and can spend time with Jospeh and Andrea and their family and isn’t waiting by the gate at a boarding facility. As we both travel for work we can now relax knowing Jetty has a safe and welcoming home to stay in. Thank you for all the care and for treating Jetty like one of your own!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“It was so nice to have Kaysee (and Ellen) drop by to check on our cat and give him some love and attention! I could relax while I was away because I got plenty of updates and could tell my kitty was in good hands. I highly recommend Kaysee and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Autumn is a great pet sitter! My cats were well cared for and she sent updates and photos each visit. She responded quickly to any questions and I was confident that my kitties were fine 😻”
“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: 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.
“Once again Alex was awesome, took loads of adorable pics of the cats in action with their feather toy. He played with them and loved on them. The house is immaculate and he even left a little present for Christmas for the cats! Thanks, Alex!”
“I had an amazing experience with Sabrie. She sent plenty of photos and videos, which kept me totally at ease while I was away. She even brought in a package for me! Most importantly, she bonded so well with my cat, and I could tell he felt comfortable and cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have had cats my whole life, as of right now i have 4 fur babies! Cats and kittens has always been one of my favorite animals. I have had a pet sitting job since May 2025 for a lovely family, taking care of her one cat, two dogs and 15 chickens. I feed & water cats as owners demand, give treats as needed, clean litter box as many times as owners provides. Of course cats get spoiled and treated as my own! I would love to care and provide for your cats! 💕
“Isabel was so kind, reliable, communicative, and awesome! We hope we can book her again the future. Followed instructions for 3 pets to a tee, and they were happy and well adjusted when back. Definitely book with her!”
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 :)
“What an amazing sitter!!!!!!!!!!! I will be using Eileen again and again as long as she will have us! She was with my Princess for 3 nights and 3 days. I needed a sitter last minute and was super hesitant about using Rover. Eileen’s experience is what attracted me to her, and her quick response after a late night request reassured me. Eileen continued to maintain a wonderful connection with me during her stay in my place with Princess. She sent me pictures throughout and developed such a strong connection with my girl!! She left my place in immaculate condition. She is someone you can count on. Thank you Eileen! :) :) :)”
About: I have been passionate about animal care since a young age, with extensive hands-on experience managing the needs of multiple pets simultaneously. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique care each animal requires. My 3years of experience working at the Humane Society further honed my skills in providing specialized care for pets with specific health needs and routines. Having successfully balanced the care of my own three pets, and pet sitting for friends and family numerous times, I am highly attuned to the demands of pet care, even in the busiest of schedules. I always prioritize the well-being of the animals I care for, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and love. I take pride in preparing home-cooked meals for pets and have a keen understanding of how to cater to their dietary needs. Additionally, I am familiar with various walking trails and off ample space for pets to explore and play in a safe, enriching environment. Above all, my commitment to providing individualized care ensures that your pet will feel at ease and loved while in my care. As I currently do not have any pets of my own, my schedule is highly flexible and can accommodate multiple pet-sitting visits throughout the day. Given proper notice, I can ensure that your pet receives the attention and care they need, with ample time to visit and attend to their needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the utmost love, attention, and respect. I understand that some pets may take time to warm up to a new person, and I am committed to being patient and respectful throughout the process. I recognize that new environments or strangers can make pets feel nervous, so I take extra care to build trust, providing a calm and safe space for them to feel comfortable. I’ve developed a strong ability to read animals and understand their needs, knowing when they need a little extra space or when they’re ready to relax and enjoy some affection. Whether it’s through gentle interaction, engaging in activities they enjoy, or providing them with a sense of routine, I ensure that their emotional and physical needs are met with attention and care. I am always mindful of their comfort, and I take the time to understand their unique personality and preferences. My approach combines patience, respect, and a deep commitment to providing the best possible care, whether at my home or in your pet’s familiar surroundings.

“I know that Bueller had a great time with Alexis because I got regular pupdates, she ate, and she was looking for her after she was returned to us. Would definitely recommend!”
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'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.
“The most incredible dog oasis I have found to date. James and his family treated Kuzy like one of their own and Kuzy has never been happier. The consistent updates and flexibility went a long way to making me feel comfortable with Kuzy being there throughout. Deeply and truly thankful to have found them!”

“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.”
“Nate was extremely awesome and amazing. First of all, he’s a really great guy and I felt completely comfortable. Leaving my two beloved dogs with him.. his dog Bilbo is amazing and so adorable. Bill gets along with all dogs.. Nate’s backyard is amazing and perfect and shaded. It has a lot of shade for Hot North Carolina days. He was very attentive to my dogs when I had a concern about my female during the day.. he really knows how to handle an acclimate dogs. I highly recommend him.. I never worried about leaving my dogs with him while I was at a very long all day class for three days. When we go back to Asheville if Nate is available, I will definitely ask him to watch my dogs again..”
“Carrie and her two dogs were great with our dog Casper! Also this was the first time using Rover and Cassie helped us through the process. Very comforting knowing that we have someone we can trust while we have to take care of other things. We are already planning our next visits!”
“Beth was wonderful with our dog. Mitchie felt right at home before I even left. Beth sent us frequent updates and photos on Mitchie throughout the day that made us feel super comfortable that our pooch was in good hands. We will use Beth's services again while we are in Asheville and we recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Paul and his fiancé were amazing with our boy, Ezra. As my service dog, he is always with me. There were 2 days of our 16-day vacay that we needed a reliable pet sitter for adventures we couldn’t bring Ezra on: zip-lining in Barnardsville and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in a 2-seater Polaris Slingshot. Even after a considerately planned meet-and-greet the afternoon before his 1st stay with Paul, Ezra was a little nervous after we dropped him off. Thoughtfully, I received updates and videos to keep me posted. Paul and his fiancé worked with him to build trust and also Ezra’s confidence. By day 2, Ezra did not want his stay to end at pick-up time! When he finally did get in the car, he was happily exhausted and slept the entire drive home. I would definitely reach out to Paul as a pet sitter should the need arise the next time we visit beautiful North Carolina! Thank you both for taking such good care of our Ezra. We truly appreciate all you did to help him adjust and feel comfortable, confident and happy!!! :)”
“Laird is just awesome- it was a treat to be able to enjoy a celebratory day with no worries about our boy! He has so much fun at her house and it’s a much needed outlet for his energy to play with a few other sweet pups!”

“My puppies are so happy and chill after their walks with Alexis. Alexis sends me the route, distance, and a pic. Pups like her so much they wait for her on her days off! So glad I did this for us.”
“I am so glad to have chosen Savanah to walk my precious girl, Scout, while I’m at work. She gives thorough and thoughtful updates and gets amazing photos of my happy girl. Savanah is so sweet and you can tell she really cares. She is reliable and a great communicator. She did everything I requested and was sure to confirm she did so at each visit. Scout was extra playful and happy everyday after Savanah’s visits!”
“I'm so happy to have met Alexis! She has been meshing so well with my dog in helping her practice calmness with new situations. I'm happy to see my pup making such good progress. It's just what she needed. Alexis has been wonderfully responsive to suggestions I've wanted to try and she has an innate understanding of animals, as well as a wonderful, calm energy.”

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention.

They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
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.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for them through every stage of life. Today, my wife and I care for our Australian Cattle Dog, Dakota, whom we adopted when she was a year old. Training Dakota has given me valuable experience in understanding canine body language, behavior, and communication. I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, excitement, fear, and overstimulation, and how to respond in a calm, positive way to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Whether we’re out on walks, visiting public places, or relaxing at home, I’m always attentive to a dog’s needs and surroundings. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. Every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel happy, secure, and loved. Above all, I believe every pet should be treated with the same care, respect, and affection that I’d want for my own! I’m currently a full-time online student and teach online part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can build my own schedule, so I'm fully available. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that are important to your pet. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can make sure your dog is comfortable and enjoying our time together. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog on a walk, or staying in your home, I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a fun walk, a midday potty break, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, cuddles, and fresh water, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. From energetic puppies who love adventure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to their needs. You'll receive plenty of photos and detailed updates after every visit, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, dependable hands. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, creating a positive experience that keeps tails wagging and owners smiling. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and I look forward to becoming your pet's trusted companion whenever you can't be there. Pets are your family and I promise to care for your fur-baby with as much love as I would my own 🥰 I have three cats of my own, have had pets my whole life and I’ve worked as a vet assistant. I am able to provide cat care in all areas of Asheville! I have an extremely flexible work schedule and have the freedom to take breaks throughout the day to stop and check on/stay with your pet(s). Your pets safety is my number one concern! I will make sure to follow your instructions exactly and take extra precaution when entering and leaving your home.

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. :)
About: I have had pets my entire life and grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and even sometimes quail!

“Alexis was great! Rook was happy when I picked her up and Alexis sent photos each day. Never had to worry about her while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“James family was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs over Thanksgiving. He texted us during our trip and the dogs were very happy and well cared for when we picked them up. They have several dogs of the same breed, and our dogs loved playing with them!”
“Gus had a wonderful weekend with Jeremy and Katie! They have a very peaceful space and are so welcoming. I got to see pictures of Gus several times a day, and he was happy (but tired) when I picked him up. I will definitely book a staycation for Gus with them again!”
“Kali was wonderful! She has has an obvious natural love for animals & made our dog feel immediately welcome & comfortable. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and kind. During my dog’s stay I received sweet photos with updates. My girl became fast friends with Nancy’s dog Chico and was happy when I picked her up. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“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!”
“Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. 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.”
“We are so happy that we finally found a place where our pup Jetty feels relaxed and at home. Joseph sent us so many great pics and messages about how she was doing during her ten day stay. It’s such a relief to know she has 24 hour care and can spend time with Jospeh and Andrea and their family and isn’t waiting by the gate at a boarding facility. As we both travel for work we can now relax knowing Jetty has a safe and welcoming home to stay in. Thank you for all the care and for treating Jetty like one of your own!”
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.
