“Elizabeth was fantastic! She kept us updated on how our dog Theo was doing (first time away from us since he was a puppy) and even included photos with his status. She took him on dailey walks and treated him with kindness. Couldn't ask for a better sitter for our kid-puppy!”
“Kinsey took great care of my puppy while we were on vacation locally. She was very accommodating when we wanted to pick him up and take him places with us. She kept me updated on how he was doing and when I picked him up he was happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kinsey.”
“Brody was just fantastic with our little pup, Zoey, a 10 month old Golden Retriever. His property is great, huge fenced in grass yard for the pups to play. Brody is readily responsive and available and easy to work with. He's clearly a dog-lover. Zoey was incredibly happy, clean and well-fed when we picked her up. Couldn't recommend Brody strongly enough; we'll definitely be back.”
“Megan and Erika took excellent care of my dogs and I highly recommend them as sitters. Their home is perfectly set up for dogs and the place is cute, clean, and well maintained. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and my dogs were happy. I will use them again.”

“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
“I highly recommend Vicky for dog sitting! She treats our Fiona like she is her own and gives frequent updates.

“Toni is fantastic. She went over and above to make sure that our senior dog had the best care - giving her meds and lots of extra snuggles. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend Toni!”

“Alexandra and her dog, Penny, were great with our dog, Snickers! Snickers finally met his match as far as attitude and backtalk from a dog 😂 Alexandra sent us pictures throughout his stay and was super communicative. We will definitely be using Alexandra again for boarding and maybe even future doggy daycare!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Courtney was great! She was super helpful in helping me book a last minute boarding. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, and David seemed to have a great time!”
“Both Connie and Ron took such good care of my fur baby Shelby that I would highly recommend if searching for a sitter, choose them. I received daily updates, questions and really nice videos. Knowing my angel was being cared for was priceless. I highly recommend Connie and Ron and for my next trip, I will definitely rebook with them again.”
“Fiona was the most relaxed she has ever been on pick up from a sitter so I know she was well taken care of . Terri was very prompt in answering messages . If we are ever in Asheville again I sure know who to request if we need a sitter . I highly recommend Terri .”

“Caitlin was prompt and thorough when taking care of my two cats. She provided in depth notes and photos for each visit and was sure to stay in contact about any questions she had or ways she could further help. I will definitely be using her again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Another great sit with Chris! We really appreciated his flexibility when we had to return home a day early due to bad weather. Vittles was happy, healthy, and completely content when we got here - it was as if we’d never left. We feel very comfortable leaving Vittles in Chris’s care and hope to continue having him as our go-to sitter.”
“Sherrie was so wonderful to collaborate with for pet care. We had a meet and greet in advance of the pet care and she sent regular updates about the well-being of my animals. She was easy to communicate with, quick to respond to communication, and reliable. It was so nice to feel that assurance while I was away and come home to happy animals.”
“Thomas is a fantastic pet sitter and we’re so happy to have found him! He provided great care for our two cats and spent extra time letting them get to know him. We appreciated the thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit and how he spent extra time getting to know their personalities. It was so wonderful to have peace of mind while traveling knowing that our kitties were in good hands. Highly recommend Thomas if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
“Brittney was a godsend when we went out of town last minute. She was communicative from the jump and able to do a drop-in last minute to meet the cats and get to know our home. Her updates were extremely thorough and thoughtful, and she sent us lots of pictures. Not only is she competent, she clearly loves animals and spent time to gain the trust of our two cats, both with very different personalities. Would absolutely trust Brittney to watch our cats again.”
“James was a pleasure to work with! From a meet and greet before his first time sitting to check-ins with us at each visit, we loved having him taking care of our kitties. He was reliable, punctual, communicative, and we could tell he loved our babies as much as we do. Everything looked just as we left it when we returned and the cats hardly seemed to notice we were gone. Thank you, James!”
“Erin was incredible at taking care of our kitty boys while we were away! Our boys are skittish and hide when strangers come around. Erin, however took great care of feeding, watering, and cleaning boxes as well as going through the effort to find our boys to get update pictures of them. We would love to have Erin come back to take care of them again!”
“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Alex was such a gem! He sent very thorough notes and took lots of pics of our cats when he dropped in:) He did exactly what we instructed him to and we felt very safe having him take care of our babies. Would definitely recommend Alex and will book with him again in the future. He really went above and beyond!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“Cera is amazing! She is kind, very responsive, and flexible. My mind was at ease knowing my cat was in the best hands while I was gone. She kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures and was happy to accommodate a couple other household tasks I asked her to do. I’m so glad to have found her and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Sydney was wonderful! She gave Booger so much love and attention, and her communication throughout the stay was excellent. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Indigo was absolutely amazing! I had daily updates about how my sweet bunny was doing and was sent multiple pictures each day. Indigo gave me updates about how my bunny was getting more comfortable and when I came home he did zoomies around the room letting me know how happy he was this week. I felt so safe and comforted knowing he was so well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future for my bunny as well as my dog if I leave her next time!!”
About: I have lived with cats for several years, and I have co-fostered 2 cats and 2 kittens. I love the playful ones, the shy ones, the snuggly ones, and the sulky ones all the same! I know how important it is to keep cats mentally stimulated, so I build in time for play as much as possible. I’m looking forward to hanging out with your furmily! :)
About: My friends tell me I treat their pets like my own when I watch them! People have told me that they appreciate that I pay attention to details and send lots of updates. I have an elderly dog myself with special needs, have taken dog training classes and genuinely love animals! I am excited to learn about what care your dog needs and help them feel safe and cared for! I can do recurring drop ins once we have had our first sitting to make sure it’s a good fit! I have my calendar blocked off Tuesdays and Thursdays but feel free to reach out about one-offs! I work remotely, so I’d like to make myself available to help you out during the day with quick drop ins, short walks and potty breaks! My currently availability says the morning but I do have some availability in the afternoons at times. My dog is trained with positive reinforcement based methods. She is an older dog with medication requirements and I understand the extra care and play restrictions they can have! Whether it’s creating a quick interactive puzzle game or playing gently in the backyard, happy to help your dog get some attention during the day!
“Heather visited my house twice a day for 9 days and was wonderful with my 2 recently captured feral kittens. She has a calming presence and was patient and understanding with the kitties. She is a good communicator, too. I highl6 recommend her.”

“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!”
“Caroline was so gracious to host Vito in her home! We were able to explore Asheville worry free knowing Vito was safe in her care. Caroline took Vito for walks & even sent a midday text & photo to assure us Vito was happy. I highly recommend Caroline to take care of your dog while visiting Asheville!”
“Piper and I were very pleased with the care provided by Jacqueline & Sammy! Very friendly, welcoming, obvious dog lovers, and excellent communication. Piper really enjoyed having access to a fenced yard for some zoomies, but the best part of the stay was a long walk followed by belly rubs and a nap. They went above & beyond by washing the mud towel I left in case Piper got muddy paws. If we're ever in the Asheville area, again, we'll be a repeat customer!”
“Thank uuu Jen!! She was just the best!! We felt so badly requesting to schedule within a day hoping she was available She was so accommodating and asked us about Dottie to know what she needed her personality etc Dot had the best time!! Jen sent photos and messaged We hope to return and will contact Jen!! We highly recommend her!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”

“Just awesome Kristin helped us make the most of our 24 hours in Asheville. Great communication super sweet and out baby was very calm when we picked him up. I felt like he was well lived in our absence. Would highly recommend.”
“Jackie was the perfect match for watching our mini Aussie while we explored the Biltmore. We chose Jackie due to no other pets / no children and she lives close to Biltmore. Her experience working with dogs was important also. Ivey has separation anxiety and Jackie’s calming voice helped her acclimate. Plus the wonderful view and deck was added plus for Ivey’s entertainment. Jackie is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend her!!!”
“April was wonderful with our dogs! We rebooked with her with a last minute booking request and she was super accommodating and communicative. She made our dogs feel right at home. Highly recommend booking with April!”
“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!”
“Great daycare service! Brody was very easy to communicate with and was able to fit us in due to a last minute cancellation by our usual rover sitter. He had a great yard for the dogs to play in and gave us updates throughout the day. If we are visiting Asheville again, we’ll definitely use Brody again :)”
“Miranda was FANTASTIC watching my 10 week old pup! She made me feel really at ease sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She truly does care for other pets as her own and my Tucker had the best time. Will absolutely come back for doggy daycare!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school. That’s 20 years! I love taking care of pets so much. They help show us unconditional love and remind us of the lighter aspects of life. When I visit your pet they become my best friend. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I’m very present with them and give them loads of attention and affection. I am great with sticking to any training or routines you may have for your pets. I’m very flexible with the needs of each pet. I live a very active lifestyle so long walks are a plus. I love being outside in nature with pets. I have a lot of experience also working with senior pets and the extra care they may need. Some of my favorite pet clients are the ones that seem hesitant at first but then come out of their shells. Don't worry while your away your pets are in good hands. I’ll make your pet feel safe, taken care of and have fun while you are not there. 🌟❤️ I am a freelance artist that works online so I have plenty of time to stay with your pets during the day for overnights visits. I always make an effort to be by your pet while staying with them. I focus on their needs and give them loads of love and attention whenever I get a chance.

I will make sure your fur baby receives love as though they are my own. They’ll get lots of playtime, walks and I’ll will send photo updates of how they’re doing. I currently work full time from home so it is very easy for me to be attentive and look after your furry loved one in addition to my own 5 month old blue heeler who is very sweet and friendly with other dogs. I work from home Monday through Friday during the day and this leaves a lot of flexibility to go on walks and play together on the trails right on the 10 acres of wooded land. My home is tucked away in a safe location with a lot of space away from busy roads. I live on 10 acres of wooded land and several trails that loop the entire property that allows for a lot of sniffing opportunities, playtime in nature, and staying in a safe environment throughout the day.

About: As someone who grew up always having dogs, I came to appreciate their companionship and playfulness and how they are family. My friends' dogs are often intuitively drawn to me. I do not work on the weekends and only see one client via telehealth on Wednesday, so I have lots of flexibility and time for walks. Whether you are a local needing a date night or a visitor exploring our mountains and breweries, I’m here to ensure your pup has a vacation just as exciting as yours. My goal is to be the 'fun uncle' who spoils them with affection, safe adventures, and all the belly rubs they can handle. From high-energy hikers to professional couch potatoes, I tailor my care to match your pet's unique vibe. You can enjoy the Blue Ridge worry-free, knowing your best friend is getting five-star treatment (and probably a few extra treats). Let's connect and get your tail-wagger booked for their own little getaway.
“We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!”
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 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.

About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am 53 and semi-retired. I drive for Uber to fill some of my time. I have cared for animals all of my life, starting with a farm when I was little. My first dog was named Tandy and my first cat was Tasha. I have been a fur baby mamma, pretty much always, as well as a sitter for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, kittens and senior animals. I recently moved to Asheville and into a place that doesn’t allow pets. I miss having a fur baby, so it would be an honor to care for yours. I have a very open schedule. I drive for Uber part time, and other than that I like to fill my days with hiking, walking, pickleball and yoga. I would love to have a furry friend come along on my adventures! I am unable to bring pets into my rental home. I will travel to your home and stay overnight with your pet, and I will treat both with love, care and respect. I will make sure to follow feeding, potty and walking schedules closely. I will also ask about favorite games and comfort toys and routines. I will send pictures and a recap of the day. I want you, and your pet, to feel comfortable and safe.
About: I have two cats and a dog who mean the world to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I would treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school full time, which has strengthened my responsibility, patience, and compassion when caring for others. While my weekdays are busy with classes and studying, I’m available for evening and weekend pet care and would love to spend that time giving your pets the attention, comfort, and love they deserve. In my home or my client’s home, I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I’m mindful of any specific instructions from the owner, including medications, special diets, or behavioral needs. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have a calm and stress-free environment, and give lots of reassurance so they feel at ease while their owner is away.
About: Need someone to Love and spoil your pet while you’re busy or on vacation? I love getting to hang out with fur babies and making sure they get all the attention they need.

I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors.

“Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and Bryan and the care they gave Theo on his recent (and 1st overnight) visit. The property is a dream, and they are both dog people who know how handle introductions and new environments. Our dog is typically skittish and protective over us and he had the time of his LIFE with them. They are now our go-to in hopes they don’t book out so far in advance haha. So thankful to have found a wonderful family and new friends.”
“Brody was just fantastic with our little pup, Zoey, a 10 month old Golden Retriever. His property is great, huge fenced in grass yard for the pups to play. Brody is readily responsive and available and easy to work with. He's clearly a dog-lover. Zoey was incredibly happy, clean and well-fed when we picked her up. Couldn't recommend Brody strongly enough; we'll definitely be back.”
“Megan and Erika took excellent care of my dogs and I highly recommend them as sitters. Their home is perfectly set up for dogs and the place is cute, clean, and well maintained. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and my dogs were happy. I will use them again.”

“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!”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”

We will definitely be using Alexandra again for boarding and maybe even future doggy daycare!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.
“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!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Michelle is the best host in the area. She is loving, attentive, send a bunch a photos and updates and takes really good care of my dogs. Her space is perfect for them: it's spacious with a fenced backyard. They even came back smelling really well after ten days with her, as shen cleaned them with baby wipes. And she gifted them with special doggie home made cookies. Michelle really loves dogs and I am very comfortable leaving my loved ones with her.”
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.
“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.”
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.
“Carlina was amazing with our Sugar while we went on vacation. She provided lots of pictures and videos which was very heart warming and appreciated. Her communication is the best. Would recommend over and over again.”
“Jess, Danny, their daughters and pets were fantastic with Opal! They gave me daily updates about how she was integrating into their household and it made me feel at ease to know she was being well loved while I was away. They have kids, a dog and cats. Opal had never spent any time with cats or children and she did great with them! I’m so glad she had such an enriching experience as I want for her to be a well socialized dog. I’m a proud dog mom!! Their updates included all the details a pet owner would want to know & we’re really heart warming to receive. Opal enjoyed being loved on by their sweet daughters, rough housing with their dog and cuddling with their cat. She truly was a part of the family. I would love to use their services again because I know she had a really great time and felt right at home! Thank you Jess and Danny!”
