“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!”
“Ann and Jaren were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of my sweet Ernie for 10 days, and I could tell he was happy and loved while I was gone. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. On top of that, they made things so easy for me—I was able to leave my car at their house, and they even gave me a ride to the airport. Truly above and beyond! I’m so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to ask them again.”
“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.”
“Panda had the best time with KaLynn! We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience. KaLynn sent us lots of adorable photos and videos and was so engaging and sweet with our sometimes nervous pet. We are super grateful and will use her again if we find ourselves in town!”
“Absolute best experience! So grateful we found Kali to take care of our pup during vacation. Great communication, and we know Belle was very well cared for! Lots of play time and snuggles. We loved getting videos and updates along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our sweet girl and we will definitely be sending her back. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I appreciate Kristen so much! Our other dog sitter fell through last minute and Kristen saved our weekend! We have a rambunctious Aussie who loves to play with other dogs. Kristen’s place was perfect for her to meet new friends.”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
About: I have 2+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel at home and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care throughout their stay. Monday through Friday, I leave for work around 7:30 AM and return home at noon for lunch. I head back to work around 1 PM and am usually home between 4–5 PM. This allows me to check in, provide attention, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually home all day studying, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care. I live in a comfortable apartment complex with plenty of safe outdoor areas for walks, exercise, and potty breaks. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine while providing a clean, calm, and comfortable space where they can feel safe and at home.
“Carlina was fantastic with Coco! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Coco got along so well with Carlina's dog and seemed to have a wonderful time. Carlina gave her plenty of snuggles, treats, and attention, and it was clear that Coco was very well cared for. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Carlina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Nola loves her stays with Katie and Preston and their furry family. I trust them to give her all the attention she needs and to provide great care. It’s great to have a trustworthy home away from home for her and she will be returning the next time I go out of town.”
“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.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“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! 🐾”
“Being a host on dogvacay myself, I should say that I am very picky when it comes to boarding my own dog. Once I met Connie I felt confident she would give it her all to help Cubbie adapt during his stay. She did that and much more. I can not thank Connie enough for opening her home during the holidays. Connie is definitely a 5 star host! Thank you! Gayle Balliet”
“I am officially a repeat customer! Caroline is easy to work with and flexible when things need to change. I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie with her and her family.”
“I had such a great experience with Adaira! This was my first time leaving my kitten, and I was a little nervous, but they made me feel totally at ease. Communication was excellent from start to finish they checked in, sent photos and updates, and were quick to respond to any messages. It was clear my kitten was well cared for and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the extra attention and care they gave. I’d absolutely recommend Adaira to anyone looking for a compassionate pet sitter.”
“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”
“Jennie and her sweet daughter did such a terrific job making our little Dixie and us comfortable on our first night away. She enjoyed playing with their dog and all the attention. Wonderful experience and I look forward to boarding her again!”

“Grayson is amazing. I recently adopted a Great Dane who had a rough start to life and need someone who can help me show him how kind people can be. Grayson is the perfect person for this. Even when my dog jumps on him, he just laughs like he's never been happier. I feel so lucky to have him to look after my pup while I'm at work.”
“Alexis is a very good sitter. She not only takes care of your pet as you would want her to, but provides them with lots of loves and hugs and affection. She always gives a detailed description of her visit, which keeps you well informed. In addition, she has taken some of the best pictures of our Zak! He seems to enjoy her visits very much.”
“Alex was great!! This was my first time booking a sitter through Rover and I was a little nervous but he went above and beyond for me and the kitties. Everyday he sent lots of great photos and detailed summaries of each visit. Two of my kitties are very shy but my very sociable son absolutely loves Alex. He told me his vibes are good lol. The whole time Alex was very communicative and overall really great. I’m sad I’m moving away soon or else I would totally book Alex again & again. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a pet sitter, you can really tell just how much he loves animals. Thank you Alex!”
“Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats who I’ve had since they were just 4 and 6 weeks old. They are now 13 years old, so I’ve had experience caring for them through every stage of life. Throughout their lives, I’ve also administered medications and learned how to accommodate their individual needs. Both of my cats have specific routines when it comes to feeding and using the bathroom, so I understand the importance of paying close attention to the little details that help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I feel most confident caring for cats and small dogs, and I’m happy to adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to give every pet the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. M-F I'm available for visits in the mornings before 8:30 AM, mid-day between 1–3 PM, and in the evenings after 6 PM. I can do 30–60 minute visits in the mornings and evenings, while mid-day visits are limited to 30 minutes. The weekends I'm available anytime between 7AM - 7PM. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, whether it’s their feeding routine, medications, leash, doors, gates, or anything else they may need. I will keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our kitty is VERY picky about who gets to pet her and who she'll be sweet with. After just a day or so Lia was letting Alema pet her and by the end of our short trip away she was cuddling. So not only was Lia calm and relaxed when we got home, but our place was clean and just as we left it. Alema is exactly the pet sitter anyone could ask for.”
“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”
About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service provided by Eliza D. From our initial meet and greet until I returned home, Eliza was both personable and professional. While I was away, she provided daily updates and photos of my kitty companion which provided peace of mind knowing that she was being well cared for in my absence. Calypso enthusiastically gives her a 5-meow review. If you are in need of reliable and caring cat-sitting services, Eliza would be an excellent choice!”
“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.”
“Giuliana was so attentive to our little Frankie while we were out of town. She was super responsive and just easy to work with. It was my first time using rover and I’m glad we chose Giuliana. I highly Recommend if you’re looking for someone who is flexible and easy to communicate with!”
“Katherine was phenomenal as a sitter for our three cats. It was our first time employing Rover and Katherine as our sitter. She was very thorough with the routine, she was very communicative and our cats really enjoyed spending time with her. She played with them a lot and sent us fun pictures and videos. We did not worry about our babies at all…and we are big worriers. I HIGHLY recommend Katherine and will happily have her take care of our kitties again. I’d say she went over and beyond the call of duty!”
About: As a cat parent of 5 years I also have experience as a wildlife rehabilitator, farm hand and recently pet sitting. This previous experience gives me the ability to care for an animal and also look for any signs of distress in pets that might be noteworthy

“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!”
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.
“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 😊”
About: I’ve loved dogs for forever and am happy to share my space and love with yours as long as they are house trained and respectful of my rescue hound. I have a big fenced in yard, work from home, and walk my dog daily (often on hiking trails). Happy to give your dog the same care and attention! Layla has a button she presses when she wants to go outside, I’m working on teaching her the command “shut the door” :) would love to work on training for fun with your dog too! There is plenty of room for crates (if you prefer) & to separate them during feeding time. Dogs are welcome on my furniture including my bed.
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting and 10 months as a foster caregiver.I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail. For some of are couch potato friends, we have a nice spacious apartment with pet approved couch to lay on and just enjoy a relaxing, quite place! As for my furry friends that ill be sitting for at there place, I like to give them plenty of play time in there space and yards. Along with nice long walks through the neighborhood! Attention to detail, and love is what I thrive for when taking care of your pet!
“Liney has a great day with Kristen! We were traveling and staying a few nights in Asheville. We wanted to spend the day at Biltmore- dog free- and everything worked out perfectly! It is obvious Kristen is a dog lover and all around good person. ?”
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.
“Nate is super friendly and reassured me Tama would have a good time with the other dogs in the home. He played so hard he was fighting sleep on the drive home. Thanks for taking care of him today!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs and sick/disabled dogs. I can administer medication, if needed. My dogs are our family members and yours will be treated the same. I am currently working from home so your pet won’t be left home alone for very long periods. I am available during the week and weekends including holidays. I have two very sweet and mellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to keep your doggie company. They will have access to 2 separate fenced in areas, one with a doggie door. Your dog can be crated or not and are welcome on the furniture with our dogs. Ours sleep in an x-pen together but your dog can sleep where ever it prefers. I want them to be comfortable like it is their own home.
“Robert was very accommodating to our schedule and Buddy was happy as can be when we picked him up. Robert is conveniently located near the Biltmore Estate, so it was very convenient for us. We would definitely use his service again.”
“Such a friendly family! My dog Maverick loves going over to play with their pups & children. Autumn always responds quickly & is a pleasure to communicate with. Her husband Josh is great as well, truly amazing people! I am so grateful they decided to become rover caregivers. If i could give more stars i would!”
“Jackie is the BEST and my Pom pup Remy had a great day. He met a new doggie friend and went for a hike. Thank you Jackie! Remy will come see you again next time we're in Asheville :-)”
About: I have been a veterinary nurse at an AAHA accredited hospital for the last 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I have just taken a M-Th veterinary position, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who don’t, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.

About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Cheeto, a foster Redbone Coonhound who loves other dogs, as well as my new puppy!
“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: Expert in ear scratches for critters big and small. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to run, if you’re looking to get exercise for your pup. I also have experience with senior animals that just want to snuggle. I’m available every weekend and work part time during the week. I can work walks or runs in with your pet during the week the week as well. I’d love to check on your pet in the comfort of their home, where all their favorite toys and treats are. I’m looking forward to scheduling!
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
About: I have been taking exceptional care of my dogs and cats in my life and for my extended families. If your animal isn't happy then your household isn't happy. After all how have we gotten through this pandemic without them😊😊😊 I am currently working part-time and am available to play and exercise with the animals in your canine and feline world. I appreciate good orderly communication so i can add to your treasured home companion. I can exercise your pets on a leash or play frisbee or ball with them in your backyard. If you have a cat also I can crate the dog and have quality time with your cat with grooming and playing with toys.
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’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.
About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.

About: Welcome to my profile! I just moved here from Chicago to start graduate school. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have a dog that never slows down. My parents have four cats and a dog, so I'm constantly around furry friends and well-versed in different temperaments and routines. I also have 12 years of experience caring for pets belonging to family and friends, so I understand the importance of finding someone you trust. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work around your pet's needs! I take mostly evening and night classes, which means I'm available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting while you're at work. I'm also available on weekends, as long as I'm notified before the weekend begins. I just ask for at least two days' notice so I can make sure I give your pet the time and attention they deserve! Your pet's safety and trust mean everything to me. Since I'm unable to host animals in my own home, I will be caring for your pet in their familiar environment to help reduce stress and maintain their routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect and take pride in being reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I am more than happy to provide updates and pictures throughout each visit. The only thing I ask is that you communicate openly with me about your pets' behaviors and stressors so I can care for them appropriately.
“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’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time

“Absolute best experience! So grateful we found Kali to take care of our pup during vacation. Great communication, and we know Belle was very well cared for! Lots of play time and snuggles. We loved getting videos and updates along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our sweet girl and we will definitely be sending her back. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
About: I have 2+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel at home and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care throughout their stay. Monday through Friday, I leave for work around 7:30 AM and return home at noon for lunch. I head back to work around 1 PM and am usually home between 4–5 PM. This allows me to check in, provide attention, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually home all day studying, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care. I live in a comfortable apartment complex with plenty of safe outdoor areas for walks, exercise, and potty breaks. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine while providing a clean, calm, and comfortable space where they can feel safe and at home.
“Carlina was fantastic with Coco! She kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Coco got along so well with Carlina's dog and seemed to have a wonderful time. Carlina gave her plenty of snuggles, treats, and attention, and it was clear that Coco was very well cared for. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Carlina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Nola loves her stays with Katie and Preston and their furry family. I trust them to give her all the attention she needs and to provide great care. It’s great to have a trustworthy home away from home for her and she will be returning the next time I go out of town.”
“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.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“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! 🐾”
“I am officially a repeat customer! Caroline is easy to work with and flexible when things need to change. I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie with her and her family.”
“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs and sick/disabled dogs. I can administer medication, if needed. My dogs are our family members and yours will be treated the same. I am currently working from home so your pet won’t be left home alone for very long periods. I am available during the week and weekends including holidays. I have two very sweet and mellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to keep your doggie company. They will have access to 2 separate fenced in areas, one with a doggie door. Your dog can be crated or not and are welcome on the furniture with our dogs. Ours sleep in an x-pen together but your dog can sleep where ever it prefers. I want them to be comfortable like it is their own home.
“Kyle was a great pet sitter! She is super friendly, very responsive in communication, and provides steady updates on how things are going. Her dog, Louie, is a total sweetie and Raz obviously liked hanging out with him. Raz was happy and healthy when I picked him up, which is the whole point! I would definitely recommend Kyle and look forward to contacting her again.”
“Shadow can sometimes have a hard time with separation anxiety but he loves being at Calvin’s. He runs to the door and doesn’t look back. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that he is in the best hands while we are away. We have used Calvin multiple times over the last few months and we will definitely be using his services for our next trips as well. He sends plenty of pictures, takes him on lots of walks and even has his own treats to give Shadow.”
“Michelle and Dale are awesome and took great care of my husky and two cats! She sent updates and photos, and sent home some homemade treats. It was so nice knowing my fur babies were safe and treated like part of their family. I know Zoe loved being able to play with Opal too. Thank you both!”
“Ethan and Hope were very accommodating and flexible when family emergency required extending our stay by several days. You can see how much they love their furry guests and it was evident Kinook enjoyed his stay.”

I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around.

I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!
