“James is great!, quick response, friendly. He has a large yard for all our sweet furries 🐕🐾🦴 companions to enjoy. Lola said she'd be thrilled to go back spend time there again. Thanks you.”


“Last minute, dire need, 2 large dogs we never had boarded not good around cats… stumbled upon Rosie & James. Rest when we picked up our pets we knew how they had been treated. It’s simple I am not going to go to anyone other than Rosie & James.. extremely courteous, receptive and humane. Your fur friends are in safe hands. James, Hachi and Harley loved everything but they were sad about you not letting them close to the cat :). Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again.”


“Tucker had a great stay with Heather and her family. We set up a quick meeting with Heather a few days before our stay and it was quickly apparent that he would be well cared for. Photo's during his stay showed him having fun with the other dogs. Thank you Heather for watching over our boy.”



“I feel really blessed to have found Pamela Pamela is a wonderful and caring sitter She made the experience exceptionally comfortable I would give her my highest recommendation and look forward to her taking care of Kiwi many more times in the future”



“Amanda was great and took good care of my mom’s dog. My mom was in the hospital during this time and it was nice to not worry about her dog! Thank you Amanda! We hope to book with you again soon!”


“Mini had a great time staying with Mary! She has the best setup for dog-sitting! I highly recommend Mary and would definitely use her again if we are ever back in the area! Thank you, Mary!! We appreciate you!”


“Amazing place for our pups to spend the night. They got to hang out with the goats and pigs in the beautiful back yard, and I got tons of update pictures of them snuggling on the couch. We would definitely bring our dogs back for a stay. Thank you!!”


“Nicholas went above and beyond the call of duty. As soon as we arrived we felt safe and felt our pet was in good hands. He communicated with us and was very flexible. He sent picture to show that he was doing well. He walked him and fed him. I will certainly use his services again. Also this was my first time using Rover and the service did not disappoint.”


“I was in a pinch to find someone at the last minute to care for my puppy for a few days, and am so glad that Stefanie accepted the request. She was wonderful! A definite animal lover, she knows dogs and their behavior well. She was very accommodating (drop off had to be late in the evening) and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy and I felt comfortable before I left. Tucker had a blast during his "vacay" and did not want to leave his new buddies behind when it was time to go home. Detailed text messages with updates and pictures every day were terrific. And when I picked Tucker up, Stefanie had even washed his bed and given him a bath (well, at least tried to!) I would definitely use Stefanie's services again.”

“Michelle is the best and gave JR lots of personal attention. She was easy to accommodate our schedules with drop off and pick up times and kept me updated. She is watching him again while the threat of Dorian approaches. I am confidant he is in good hands during this time. She has a pet emergency plan in place which is comforting.”


“Brandi is amazing! She did great with our fur babies and making sure they had a great time. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent and all the updates! Definitely will be booking with her again! ?”

I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. For pups that come to day camp or board with us, we start our mornings going for walks, followed by breakfast and a little relaxation time out doors. Then we head out for a hike in the woods to burn off energy and get plenty of time to explore and socialize with the pack. I arrange a meet and greet with the pet and owner to understand the pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I am Pet CPR and Safety certifiied and make your pet's safety and security a top priority.
