“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!”
“KaLynn is a gem! My pup was so happy and well cared for while I was away. He felt right at home in her warm and caring hands. I would highly recommend having your pup stay in KaLynn’s caring hands.”
“Katie and Jeremy were the best Rovers I’ve ever had, and their home was our dog’s dream set up! With the doggy door and back porch and gated in yard, he was able to enjoy lots of time outside! They were great in sending us photos and videos and did not hesitate in spoiling him with love and bacon bits. Popeye had a great stay with!”
“Every time I pick up our dogs they are so happy. It’s really reassuring to know the people taking care of them love them as much as we do. 100% recommend Megan for the peace of mind!”
“Michelle was very communicative and responded quickly. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She sent photos of the adventures and fun things my dog was doing with the family. Michelle was flexible with drop off and pick up. She even sent home some homemade treats. My anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her stay and I will definitely use Michelle again in the future!”
About: I grew up with feisty terriers, and now have a high energy Dalmatian. I’m up for the task! It’s a pleasure to play hard, and get them tuckered out for cuddle time. By spending time with our Dalmatian, high energy pups will meet their match and older dogs will tap into their youth. Looking forward to it! I work from home, and already have dog-care built into my routine. Our fenced in yard makes it easy for them to run-around. Daily walks around the block. We have a fenced in yard, great for them to run free. We’ve got dog beds, fun toys and lots of fresh water always available.
“Richard and his family were so nice to meet! I could definitely tell Tivoli felt comfortable with him and company, I’m glad that he had such a great time out on some fun activities too!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our energetic puppy with Laura! She sent us updates regularly and gave feedback on how our dog was doing each day. Her home is very welcoming and she is clearly a lover of all dogs. Our dog was very happy when we picked her up and was well taken care of. We will definitely be using Laura again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for several years, growing up we always had family dogs, and even now taking care of friends & families dogs while they are on vacation. My home has plenty of space as well as a nice sized backyard that they can run around and play in. My dog is always looking to make a friend and is very sweet towards people and other dogs. If you have specific instructions regarding care for your dog, I will make sure that they are cared for the way they are used to! I work full time as a waitress, and I am done most days by 2pm, so I have the rest of the day to take care of pups! I’m usually off Monday’s as well! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a dog of my own to keep your dog company while I am at work! I have spare dog crates & bowls, unless you prefer to bring your own!
“Jen was wonderful. Went out of her way to make sure the dog would be safe and happy. Bought her a toy, walked her a bunch and sent her home happy and worn out from playing. She was a lovely person, easy to correspond with, and took great care of Flora. Thank you, Jen!”
“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!”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Julie! She is extremely responsible, always reliable, and loves my dog like one of her own. This is the first time we did an in-home stay for our large, goofy lab. The peace of mind we have knowing he is so well taken care of is invaluable. I highly recommend Julie.”
About: Hi! I might be new to Rover but not pet sitting! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently own two pugs and a soon to be therapy dog named Zoey. I also live with my husband Mike! He is an engineer at Duke Energy & isn’t always home. But I work from home so cuddles are always available for your pup! Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered with the Blue Ridge Humane Society and spent several years fostering animals in need, helping them transition into loving forever homes. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience working with shy, energetic, anxious, and special needs pets, always focusing on patience, safety, and positive reinforcement. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Please reach out for special requests. I can try to accommodate such as picking up your pet or dropping you off at the airport. I live 6 minutes away from AVL. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members🐾 I currently work from home so if you have an anxious, high energy, sleepy, and separation anxiety I’m your girl! I am a Rover customer as well so I will your dogs just like I would want another Rover sitter to! All dogs are allowed on the couch & bed! I sleep with my 3 crazy sweet dogs. I do have a fenced yard. We also have a dog park in our community! I take my dogs there every day after work.
“Kharen is wonderful! We had a last minute cancellation where we used to board our dogs and fortunately Kharen had room for Ozzy and Milly. We felt good about leaving them with someone who truly cares about dogs and enjoyed getting photos of our pups. We found a new place with Kharen to board our dogs!”
“Alexis is a really considerate sitter who took the time to send us a lot of photos of Dory and also take her on a few walks. She has an enclosed yard which was handy and a very comfortable apartment - I have no doubt our dog slept on every cushion within jumping range. Would highly recommend Alexis and will contact her again in the future!”

“Alexis is a life saver, she filled a last minute request to watch my cat, Blair. I really appreciate her quick communication as well as the level of detail she provides in her updates. Blair was really well cared for and I will 100% be using Alexis again. I highly recommend her.”
“Chloé was incredible! Each day I was given detailed updates about my two kitties along with great photos - some I’m wanting to frame! Cats seemed happy and healthy throughout our absence. Chloé went above and beyond to support when our cats had upset bellies and was kind enough to take care of additional household tasks like feeding our birds. It’s great to know our boys are in great hands while we are gone.”
“Alema was wonderful! She kept me updated and sent photos daily! The cats were cared for, loved on, and really took to her! She is truly the cat whisperer. I will absolutely call on her again!”
“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Our cat, Steve, always loves when Susan comes to visit him while we are away! Susan is always on time for our scheduled visits, she remembers all the little details, and sends extremely detailed updates after each visit, including several pictures. Having Susan watch Steve always gives us peace of mind.”
“I was very lucky to find Elizabeth. I interviewed a few. She took good care of my kitties and house sat for me. She was conscientious,mature, reliable, and gave me peace of mind. Sent cute pics of kitties interacting and was also neat with the house. I will be using Elizabeth again. 🥰”
“Laura is a great communicator and sent sweet pictures of my creatures on her home visits. In the initial meet and greet, my animals warmed right up to her. I'd recommend Laura for your pet care needs”
“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.”
“We know the cats are safe and happy when we’re away with Alex checking in. He keeps everything clean and e-mails pictures at the end of each visit, making sure they get cuddles and play. Highly recommend!”
About: I've lived with cats my entire life, including a few special needs cats, and have 2 of my own currently. I've given medication of all kinds, including insulin, and my two cats get an inhaler once a day. I feel very confident taking care of cats, and take care of my parents and friends cats.
“Krystin is the best! She takes time to spend with each of the animals and has a pure attention to details. My 3 girls were being picky eaters and she made sure to let me know, and went above and beyond trying different foods until they were satisfied! You’ll know you pets are in good hands when she takes care of them😻”

“KaLynn was fabulous. If you are visiting Biltmore and need a place for your pooch during your visit, we highly recommend her. She was great at accommodating our senior dog for the day and was very communicative both before and during the day, plus she sent fun photos that were in an amazing quality.”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“I hadn't left Chloe with anyone for over three years, so finding a dog sitter was a big event in our life. She and I spend every day, all day together, so I was like a mama dropping her child for their first day of kindergarten. But Chloe had such a positive meet and greet, she couldn't wait to return! During our initial meeting, Rayana let Chloe thoroughly explore her house, which thrilled her as she's part hound dog and her nose demands she smell every crack and crevice. When Rayana invited her up on the sofa and gave her a pillow, Chloe looked at me like, omg, are you seeing this?! Nobody lets me up on their couch but you, mom! The cherry on top was when Rayana proceeded to give her lots of hugs and kisses and praise. We had a wonderful chat, after which Chloe discovered the doggie door and the yard, and I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get her to leave! When we returned for doggy daycare I was feeling emotional and worried I might start blubbering, but within a minute of arriving, Chloe was so excited to be there that I couldn't get her attention to tell her I was leaving! It made all the difference to know she was with someone who would love on her like I do. Chloe was a rescue who had a traumatic start in life, and I never imagined I would find someone who'd give her the kind of love and attention that has helped her heal and flourish. I can't recommend Rayana more highly. She is definitely a dog whisperer who clearly loves her four legged friends. ❤️”
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.
“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.”
“Kristie was just wonderful! We were visiting the area and needed daycare for our Shih Tzu, Sushi. As soon as we met Kristie (and her own Shih Tzu, Brody), we knew Sushi was in a loving, happy home. We were delighted to see that there were a few other small pups staying for the day, so Sushi would have lots of playmates. Kristie updated us during the day with photos, and just as we suspected, Sushi made himself right at home. We highly recommend Kristie and Brody!”
“Alyssa and Bryan took such great care of our two girls and they have come back happy and tired both times we’ve sent them! They kept us updated with photos and letting us know what they had been up to. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Zoe and Riley and I’m very happy to have found them to take care of my crew. They have a great space and yard for the dogs to play and explore, which was a big draw for me. Will definitely book them again!”

When we go back to Asheville if Nate is available, I will definitely ask him to watch my dogs 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 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!”

About: Caring, loving, responsible, punctual, trustworthy pet/house sitter and dog walker servicing the Fletcher, Arden, Asheville, Hendersonville, Etowah, and Flat Rock areas. I had dogs and cats in my home growing up and into my adult years. I have 4 years of experience as a pet/house sitter in USA and abroad with great reviews. I can help with dog walking and pet/house sitting, including staying in the home with your pet(s), feeding, walking dogs, caring for and giving love in your absence. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love to incorporate time with pets into my weekly routine by being given the opportunity to care for, feed, walk dogs, playing, and giving love to furry friends. Providing you with peace of mind as you are at work or out of town. I am available Monday through Friday and flexible for weekend when needed. I will be providing care for your pet(s) in your home. I will abide by house rules and any instructions provided by the owner for the care of pet(s) and home. I will provide a safe, fun, loving, and caring environment for your pet(s) in your absence.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.
About: As a child I was always the person that was bringing home the lost and injured animals I came across. Not much has changed as an adult. I worked with a pet rescue for over a decade, unfortunately the rescue was dissolved but my love for animals has not faded. I have experience with many different species of pets, ranging in age from newborn and needing to be fed every 2 hours to senior animals that need extra care and patience. I am experienced in giving medicine, and providing all the love and attention your fur babies deserve. I am currently in a career transition and taking classes part time at a local college so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and make sure they have as much love as possible. I am very diligent in making sure all of your requests are followed to the letter. I personally have a dog that needs wiped after she potties to prevent UTIs and it is a deal breaking for me when I can tell a sitter has not followed my instructions. I understand that routine is important and strive to be a few minutes early for every appointment. I also understand that someone other than yourself caring for your beloved furbaby can be stressful for both you and them. I strive to ease as much of that stress for both parents and furchildren as possible. As a pet parent myself who also uses a sitter when I have to be away for any length of time, having that trusted sitter is life saving.
“I cannot say enough great things! There is no better feeling than having someone you trust watch your animal! She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was well looked after! I am so grateful that she was able to watch my pup which allowed me to be able to really relax and enjoy my vacation!!!”
“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
About: I love dogs and wish that I could afford one of my own! I grew up with multiple dogs, big and small, cats too. I honestly love walking too so this seems like the perfect fit for me. I am a gentle and kind person who will take good care of your pup. I will take them on walks around town, hikes in the woods, or play a good game of fetch on the green! Always picking up after the dogs to keep this town clean. I usually work in the mornings but am free most afternoons. Please let me know if you are interested in working with me! I can't wait to meet you and your precious pup (or multiple pups)! Give me a bark when you're ready :)
“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! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
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 work from home, and already have dog-care built into my routine. Our fenced in yard makes it easy for them to run-around. Daily walks around the block. We have a fenced in yard, great for them to run free. We’ve got dog beds, fun toys and lots of fresh water always available.
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our energetic puppy with Laura! She sent us updates regularly and gave feedback on how our dog was doing each day. Her home is very welcoming and she is clearly a lover of all dogs. Our dog was very happy when we picked her up and was well taken care of. We will definitely be using Laura again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for several years, growing up we always had family dogs, and even now taking care of friends & families dogs while they are on vacation. My home has plenty of space as well as a nice sized backyard that they can run around and play in. My dog is always looking to make a friend and is very sweet towards people and other dogs. If you have specific instructions regarding care for your dog, I will make sure that they are cared for the way they are used to! I work full time as a waitress, and I am done most days by 2pm, so I have the rest of the day to take care of pups! I’m usually off Monday’s as well! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a dog of my own to keep your dog company while I am at work! I have spare dog crates & bowls, unless you prefer to bring your own!
“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!”
“Alexis is a really considerate sitter who took the time to send us a lot of photos of Dory and also take her on a few walks. She has an enclosed yard which was handy and a very comfortable apartment - I have no doubt our dog slept on every cushion within jumping range. Would highly recommend Alexis and will contact her again in the future!”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“100⭐️ Our girls stayed for a week and were in heaven! Playing all day, long walks, and snuggles in the bed! My dog mom heart is beyond grateful for Alyssa & Brian! They’ve made an incredible home dedicated to their love of pets. They even taught our lab to use the auto ball thrower in 2 hours where I’ve been trying for months! Alyssa & Brian are incredible! I trust you both so much & appreciate all the love you give our girls! 🐾”
“Kyle was great! My sweet girl Hope is very shy, but Kyle gave me assurance that she would be well taken care of and she was. She came out of her shell and even play with their dog Lou. I highly recommend her and will use her services in the future. Thanks again Kyle, Randy and Lou!”
“This was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had. The booking was a breeze the communication and everything went well. My pup was happy met other dogs and I appreciate you guys going over and beyond!!!”
“Laird was stellar home away from home for our fur baby! Her beautiful, secure back yard was perfect for lots of carefree romping and running and he was showered with TLC by the whole family! Franklin is already planning his next visit! Thanks Laird!!”
“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!”
“My dogs loved staying with Breanne and her family! You can tell they really love dogs, and my dogs came home much happier than they usually do when I pick them up from a boarding facility. I would happily board with Breanne again!”
