Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mountain Home
“If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Connie was great making the reservation was easy and simple. She was very helpful and most of all she took very good care of my Fur Baby Thank you very much Connie we will see you again... :)”
“My 2 little papillons came home from an overnight stint with Deborah so happy and healthy. Deborah will be my go-to sitter from now on. She stayed in touch and I felt confident knowing they were in good hands. This was an xlnt experience in every way.”
“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!”
“The best sitters! Lacie goes out of her way to make you comfortable and ensure all needs are met. I felt very at ease leaving Stink with her. Lots of photos and videos and great updates. She’s outstanding!!”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”
“I was so very pleased with the way Kharen took care of my baby. She sent me photos and even a video showing Daisy playing. I would trust her with Daisy completely and because of her attention to Daisy I would gladly use her again. I I gave her five stars because of her set up and her attention and the fact that she was concerned about how I felt leaving Daisy. It’s a wonderful place to leave your baby!”
“Addie is a Cairn/Westie mix who hasn't always been sure of how she feels about other pets. Because of that, we went to meet Ryan and her crew before we signed up with her. Addie LOVED her miniature zoo with cats and a dog, some bunnies, and a parrot! She came home from her stay very happy (and exhausted). She'd eaten all her food (which means she wasn't nervous) and Ryan had given her her dental chews and rawhide treats, so she was well and truly cared for. She had a ball! What more can you ask??? Thanks, Ryan - you're the best!”
“Boomer had the best time while staying with KaLynn. She sent lots of pictures showing all of Boomer's buddies during his stay, and KaLynn even had a birthday party for one of dogs. This is Boomer's second time of being with KaLynn, and I plan on sticking with her in the future!”
“Our dog Sam was well taking care of with Giuliana. Sam is a high energy hound and Giuliana made sure he had outside play time multiple times a day with plenty of video and picture updates. He also got along great with her 2 other dogs. Would highly recommend Giuliana.”
“Jordan and her family were great! We’ll definitely try to use her services next time. Our trip was a last minute scheduling and she was very accommodating with the meet and greet. She was very responsive and graceful with a lot of last minute changes on our end.”
“Laura was AMAZING. She watched my girl overnight while I was out of town. Great communication, sent me lots of pics and updates and my dog had a great time! Her dog was a good play mate and her fenced in yard must have been a blast. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Daisy had a great, long stay with Diane, who took great care of her. Daisy is 13 and needs a little TLC and Diane took good care of her. She also texted me pictures and told me me not to worry, that she would take good care of her. That was great peace of mind.”
“This was our second time leaving our doggie with Erika and Megan and it was as great , smooth and overall very positive experience like the first time. They’re so good at communicating and sharing updates while we were away. We have already booked our next boarding needs :)”
“Katie & Jeremy are great with our girl! They provide excellent care & keep us updated on how she's doing. We're already planning our next trip & plan to ask them if they'll take care of her for us then.”

“Ryan is great at communicating with several updates by message in words and pictures. She truly loves pets and I am happy she took care of our cat. Ryan is not only great with our cat she is reliable and trustworthy.Thank you Ryan!”
“Taylor is wonderful! We were looking for someone to drop-in daily to feed our cat, Zoey, while we were away and we are so glad we found Taylor. Taylor came by each evening, sent us daily photos of Zoey, and gave us an update each day. Knowing Taylor was here to take care of Zoey helped us relax and enjoy our time away. Thanks so much Taylor!!”
“This was a rebook with Ashlee. We had a cold snap and outdoor kitties water iced over; thanks to Ashlee's care they had water! Heated water bowl ordered. Ashlee is reliable, so no worries about the kitties being uncared for.”
“This was our first experience with Alexis and we could not be more pleased. We came home to 2 very happy kitties thanks to Alexis's care. What more can you ask for?! Alexis kept us informed, sent pictures, and executed perfectly. Thanks Alexis!”
“Adelynn did great checking in on our kitties while we were away; she even made sure to give them extra attention and love so they knew they weren't forgotten about! Adelynn also provides good communication and sent lots of pictures to let us know how they were doing. It's evident that Adelynn truly and genuinely cares about animals, so if you're ever in need of her services, your pets will be in great hands!”
“Jennie is absolutely wonderful! She is so thorough with every visit and her communication is incredible. She gives the most detailed summaries and tons of photos along with them. She is so flexible and even went the extra mile to help us navigate getting home safely during the storm. I’d choose her again and again to care for my babies.”
“Kayla took good care of my cats. Neighbors reported that she arrived promptly at the same time each day. Kayla also retrieved my mail and brought numerous packages in from the mailbox and porch. I will request Kayla again in the future.”
“So reassuring to have Jill and Eric check in on our cats while we are away! One is a pretty picky eater and they have no problem accommodating her quirks and love her none the less :)”
“Sierra took great care of my cat, Wally! She sent a lot of great pictures, including some where Wally was snuggling with Sierra on the couch and playing with one of her toys! I’ve never heard of any pet sitter getting Wally to play or snuggle, so Sierra must be the cat whisperer”
“I would 100% recommend Krystin for your cat/dog sitting needs! This was my first time using Rover so I was nervous about letting someone into my home to take care of my cats. Krystin made me feel so comfortable and my cats were so well taken care of. She will be my first call if I need a cat sitter in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a cat owner myself, so I understand firsthand how much care, patience, and attention to detail cats need to feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a 4-year-old indoor/outdoor cat, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and respecting a cat’s need for both independence and affection on their own terms. I know every cat has a unique personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer quiet observation—and I’m comfortable adapting to both. I also take cleanliness and consistency seriously, especially when it comes to litter boxes and maintaining a calm, tidy environment. I pay close attention to small changes in behavior and routine so your cat stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Because I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, I’m reliable and able to provide consistent care, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I also make communication a priority, so you’ll receive updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to care for your cat as thoughtfully as I care for my own, so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in your absence.
“Lacie did a great job taking care of my three cats. Unfortunately my three legged cat is a scardie boy so he didn’t let her pet him but the other two did great. Thanks again!”
“Mallory was great!! My cat, Oreo was so pleased to see her this weekend! She sent me many pictures and I felt so relieved to see my baby playing and eating! I was worried about her not eating due to separation anxiety, however Mallory made her feel happy and supported enough to eat all her food every time!! I will definitely rebook:)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mountain Home
“Ann & Jaren took such great care of my Lottie girl when I was on vacation to NYC! They kept me up to date with lots of pictures; being that this was the first time we were apart for this long, I really appreciated the photos and care she received. She was in great hands and I 100% will be using them in the future! Thanks again 😊”
“Michelle was very responsive and attentive to our dogs during a daytime visit at her home. They are not boarded very often and it was comforting that she gave them the attention they needed. Would definitely use her again!”
“My dog has separation anxiety and loved his old doggy daycare back in our old town. I had trouble finding a daycare here when I moved that he liked and that fit with my schedule. We're so lucky we stumbled on Ryan. She has super flexible hours so I can stay late at the office if needed. She has all sorts of animals so Ludo is never lonely. She's also a retired vet tech so she has plenty of experience with all kinds of animals. Ludo barely even notices when I walk out her door to leave him for the day, and that's HUGE.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would. I travel for work and I am always worried about what to do with my dog Gromit. Keily went way up and beyond what I was expecting. Absolutely perfect experience and I feel very comfortable booking revisits. I highly recommend.”
“KaLynn was great with our energetic pup. She was very accommodating for a change in pick up times. Our dog was happy and exhausted when we picked her up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This is a great family and I’m starting to think my dog loves them more than she loves me. They’ve been flexible with my work schedule which has made a huge difference in my life and my pup’s. She always passes out snoring after spending the day over there. Happy puppy! Thank you so much!!!”
About: First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals! Even as a kid, I would only accompany my mother to visit her friends, who had dogs or cats in their home. I appreciate, respect, and can relate to the bond humans have with their pets. They are very much family and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your fur baby comfortable, relaxed, and content, in our home or yours, while you're away. We only board 2 dogs at a time, to ensure a quiet, calm, and more relaxing stay, and have a large fenced in backyard for playtime. Dogs staying with us must be house trained. We also have a cat, who loves to play with dogs, so to ensure his safety, any dogs boarding with us must be cat friendly. Some of my previous work experience includes 4 years as a veterinary assistant and I'm comfortable with administering medication, if needed. I have dog training experience and have even trained two of our own to become registered therapy dogs. Together, we serve our community by providing pet therapy in shelters for domestic violence victims, assisted living facilities, our local university, in elementary schools, and wherever she's needed. I currently work with German Shepherd Rescue organizations, assessing temperaments/behavior, conducting home visits, and fostering. We live near the airport, which makes it ideal for dropping off and picking up when traveling for work or going on vacation. Several of my clients leave their babies with us when leaving the country. In addition to dog sitting for many friends and family members over the years, I've also taken care of cats, horses, goats, and even iguanas! I can't wait to provide extra love, play time, and affection for your fur baby, too! I work from home and we have one dog and a cat. I closely supervise any dogs that are our guests here and can provide potty breaks as frequently as needed. Any pets staying with us are supervised inside and out. Our yard is large and fenced in, so it's a great place for play sessions. For drop in visits, I customize it to the owner's wishes and dog's needs.
“Rebecca did an awesome job of taking care of our Eevee! She sent pics/video and Eevee had a great time at her house. She also responded to our last minute request for booking and was very accommodating. Highly recommended!”
About: My name is Mac Graf and my husband and I live right outside Hendersonville, NC. I am a certified and licensed athletic trainer and am the Director of Sports Medicine as my full-time job. I work 90% of my job from home, and would love to help take the stress off your work day by allowing your fur family to hangout with me and my family for the day. I take my work seriously whether that be with my patients or with my fur friends. I fostered dogs throughout undergrad to give me more experience and make a change in an animal's life. I ended up adopting one of my foster dogs in 2020 and it was the best decision i've ever made! I rescued another dog in February of 2023, so I have lots of personal dog experience. I understand that having a dog is not just having a pet, but it is another family member. I treat them as such. With my experience as a foster, and being a pet owner myself - I know that I am responsible and loving towards all animals. I would love nothing more than to help take the stress off other dog owners, and help take care of them when needed. Since my job is 90% remote work, I have the flexibility to take my dogs on a walk or play outside in the fenced in area of our home multiple times a day. Throughout the work day they go outside multiple times - usually with a longer walk at the end of my work day. I ask the person I am dog sitting for what they want, and I always accommodate to whatever makes my client feel most comfortable with! We have two baby gates at home, so if we ever need to separate dogs in our home, we have the ability to do so. I always will be respectful of my clients and whatever their wishes are.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and currently have 4 very happy snoops from small to large. I'd love to walk, hike and/or run your dogs to keep them happy.I've cared for puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable with both. Pet care is easy for me since I don't have a regular work schedule. I retired as a Navy contractor and competitive triathlete. I can walk them, let them out and feed them early morning and late evening. We have a large fenced in dog yard and can bring your best friends to our house to run in a safe area, this is especially nice for dogs that don't do well around other dogs.
“Maria has watched my dog Arty several times, and if you ask him, he would give her 10 stars! I can tell he really likes it there by the way he gets so excited when he realizes he’s there for the day! I get several pictures of his play day once a day, and sometimes a cool video. A great way to stay in touch with your pet while he’s away during the day. Maria’s French bulldog Stella is a very intelligent, tolerant dog, and is now Arty’s best friend! I would highly recommend Maria for pet watching in her home and boarding.”
“I needed a sitter last minute, and Julie accepted our sweet Luna with open arms. Excellent communication, I immediately felt confident Luna would be in caring and safe care, and Julie was super flexible. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Stephanie was very sweet and patient with my baby and I am so appreciative. She sent me updates throughout the day which I enjoyed. She was accommodating to my hectic schedule.”

“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”
“Kristen was super with our two Labs. It's evident she loves dogs. She was very attentive to their needs, and they fell in love with her right away! Highly recommend!”
“Jennie is the absolute best! She cares so much and really goes above and beyond to take great care of my pup. Her notes are thorough and funny- I love reading what my pup has been up to!”
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.
“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
“Amazing! I reached out and they had time to take a booking right away! Great job with our two 70lb dogs on an hour long walk. So thoughtful with leaving us homemade dog treats too. Thank you Michelle and Dale!”
“Bryan was great with our dog. He kept me posted on important details I might need to know about his time with her. He was great with responding quickly when I had questions. He was patient with our dog and very trustworthy. I’d hire him again if given the chance.”
About: I have had pets all my life. They are part of my family. Always helping my family with thier pets as well when they go out of town. I am retired and available anytime. I want to do something with my spare time that I love. Pets are family to me. I love all pets. I have 5 dogs of my own. They are spoiled rotten of course. I would be able to come to your home as needed. I have a roommate that can watch my babies as I watch yours.
About: I have grown up around animals all my life and I love being a pet parent. I enjoy fostering needy animals, especially seniors. I also work at the Humane Society and I am pursuing my degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work part time at the Asheville Humane Society. Working part time allows me plenty of time to drop in and care for your babies. I have experience working with animals and will show them all the love and affection as if they were my own babies. I will help them feel comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience working with all different types of animals and I love to help them come out of their shell.
“This was our first time using Rover. It has exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend to anyone! Alexis was punctual and perfect, with outstanding communication throughout!”
“We were gone for the weekend and Mallory was wonderful with our 2 pups! They are usually crazy and destructive when we leave but they loved Mallory and behaved so well! Would highly recommend for pup sitting and walking.”
About: I have worked Animal Rescue, Fostering, Rehabilitation, and Adoptions the last 6 years! I understand pet parents, can easily follow instructions, and will stay alert to your pet needs! I will value your pet as I would my own! I currently work remotely, so I am extremely flexible. If not house sitting, I can make as many or little stops at your house as needed. I prefer to not board animals at my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so it is not very suitable for a dog.
“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

He was cared for like family. Highly recommend them and will definitely be coming back!”
