“Claire was wonderful with Georgie! She took the time to meet us beforehand, and she and Georgie hit it off right awa, you could tell Claire genuinely loves getting to know the dogs she cares for. As a puppy, Georgie needs midday potty breaks and some playtime when I can't get home from the office, and Claire gave her a great visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing Georgie was in good hands. Highly recommend Claire for anyone needing reliable, caring midday check-ins. I will be using her in the future!”

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.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I understand that each one has different needs, whether that’s lots of playtime, structured walks, or just calm companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or closer attention. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners and simple commands, and I always stay consistent with routines to help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time and attend school, but I have plenty of breaks between classes and free time after school, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the week. I’d love to care for your pet during those times and keep them company. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and feedings, and I can also stay at your home if needed. At the moment, I’m not able to host pets in my own space, but I’m happy to provide care in a way that’s most comfortable for you and your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, or any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and tidy, and I pay attention to any changes in behavior to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. If needed, I can provide updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, but I’m very flexible with drop-in visits, walks, and in-home stays to meet your pet’s needs.

About: I routinely sit for friend's dogs and cats, and grew up around dogs so am very comfortable with many breeds and personalities. Especially love senior pups :) Local to Asheville, but willing to travel to surrounding counties. I am currently in graduate school, so I have a schedule that allows me to care for your pet during most weekdays as well as weekends. A very important thing before I start sitting a new animal is to make sure that I know what vocal/gesture commands, house rules, or personal needs your pet is accustomed to. This makes it a more seamless experience for both the humans and the animal.

About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard or inside for 4-5 hours per day. Although we love all pets, please don’t book with us if your animal needs constant supervision. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive or prey-driven dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.

About: I care for dogs regularly through my pet sitting work, including feeding, potty breaks, leash walks, playtime, and basic training practice. I live with my own pets, including an energetic young pup, so I’m very comfortable managing puppy zoomies, reinforcing good manners, and keeping routines consistent. I have experience with different sizes and temperaments and always take time to read each dog’s body language so they feel comfortable and understood I prioritize pet sitting around my work schedule, ensuring that pets receive dedicated care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My goal is to maintain a consistent routine that keeps pets comfortable and cared for while balancing my other commitments. I care for every pet in a secure, stress-free setting, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I’ve established dedicated pet areas with clean, comfortable resting spots and safe play zones, while in your home, I meticulously follow your routines and guidelines—ensuring your space is respected and enhanced with pet-proofing measures. Open communication and regular updates mean you’ll always feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

About: Ever since I was little, animals have been a huge part of my life. Growing up on a small farm taught me not only how to care for animals, but also how deeply they become part of the family. I truly believe pets are our children, and they deserve the same love, patience, attention, and care we would give to any family member. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my dog, Sophie, during the final year of her life after she was diagnosed with bone cancer. That time taught me so much about compassion, attentiveness, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable through every stage of life. Caring for Sophie gave me extensive hands-on experience administering medications, injections, and following detailed care routines with patience and consistency. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who may need extra support, medical care, or simply a gentler approach. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and farm animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique routines, quirks, and comfort levels. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, anxious, senior, or needs specialized care, I always strive to make them feel loved, calm, and right at home. I also own a small handmade pet accessory business, Lumber Puppies. You may have seen me at local art and maker markets throughout the years! Being involved in the pet community has only strengthened my belief that our animals deserve thoughtful, personalized care and lots of affection. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, playtime, and patience. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your babies with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I am available every day of the week with a lot of flexibility and can accommodate last-minute changes. Let me know what your needs are, and we can discuss how I can help. While caring for your pets, you can feel safe knowing that I will always take the utmost care when in your home. I have a deep fear of someone carelessly letting one of my cats slip out the door. Because I have this fear for my own pets, I will ensure that it is not something you will ever have to worry about while your babies are in my care.

Jen has been an exceptional pet sitter for our cat on several occasions. Her consistent ability to show up and provide comfort and daily task to Miss Pipi Ann has brought peace of mind to our family during a difficult time. Jen has taken ownership of the duties and shown total respect for our home. She bonded quickly with our senior feline and reported daily on her well being. We will absolutely continue to have Jen in our home and seek her out when care is needed for our most precious fur baby.

Jessie is the ultimate professional: a skilled trainer, compassionate, prepared and protective, kind and considerate, and always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our animals, home, plants, and us humans. Jessie has cared for our pets and house on several occasions now, the most recent being for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. We could rest completely assured that Jessie was on top of whatever happened while we were away (the water being turned off to the house, severe storms!) and that our pets were in the best hands possible. We cannot recommend Jessie highly enough!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Woodfin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodfin is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,041 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodfin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodfin. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
