About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my well-rounded experience and genuine love for animals of all ages. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—whether that’s playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet company. I’ve also had experience with basic training, helping puppies learn good habits early on. I treat every pet like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As a student-athlete at Montreat College, my schedule is busy but structured, which helps me stay organized and make time for what I love—caring for pets. Taking care of animals is actually a fun and relaxing getaway from the demands of school and sports. I already care for my own Maltipoo and cat, so it’s second nature to fit walks, playtime, and feedings into my day. It’s something I look forward to and take seriously, always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine closely—sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I respect the space and make sure everything is clean and secure. If pets stay with me, they’ll have a cozy spot to relax, plenty of attention, and time outside for walks and play. I focus on keeping things calm and consistent so your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away.

About: Able to bond with animals easily. Have had several dogs over the span of their life ( some for 17 years ) Know what to look for in regards to medical, exercise, and lap time. Would treat them like my own, and mine are my family. I am retired, have dependable transportation, and always ten minutes early. I am retired and have very few obligations. When I commit to a schedule for your pet, that becomes my priority. Accepting all schedule suggestions. Dax..a mixed breed rescue is going on 10 this year. He has a porch and an outside dog run along the side of the house. He tends to venture off to the neighbors dogs when he finds the opportunity. So he is leash walked when we go out. He has a free run of the house, as well as my brothers dog when she visits ( bernadoodle )

About: Hi there! I’m Lindsay - a responsible, experienced dog owner with a calm home, a fully fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own who love having company. I’m new to Rover, but not new to petsitting. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for years, and I treat every guest like family. I work full-time from home, which allows me to offer consistent supervision and care during evenings and weekends - perfect for pet parents who need flexible, reliable support they can trust. My home is peaceful, pet-friendly, and designed to help dogs relax. I only host a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and space to decompress. Whether your dog loves fetch in the yard, long sniffy walks, or curling up on a soft bed, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the pack. I have hands-on experience with: Dogs of all sizes and temperaments Crate-trained and free-roaming dogs Feeding routines, medication schedules, and senior care Multi-dog households and managing introductions During every stay, I provide regular updates and photos so you never feel out of the loop. You’ll come home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog who’s been treated like one of my own. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits within a 15-mile radius — it’s a great option for getting to know me (and for your pup to get familiar) before booking an overnight stay. I love building long-term relationships with the dogs and families I work with. Let’s set up a meet and greet - I’d love to get to know your pup and welcome them into our routine! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my day starts and ends with feeding, playtime, walks, and snuggles. I work full-time at home during the week, so I'm home in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend. That makes evenings, weekends, and holidays ideal for boarding or daycare. I only take on a small number of pets at a time to make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, calm energy, and time to decompress. Your pup will fit right into our rhythm here! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family - they have access to cozy, pet-friendly areas, a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. I supervise all introductions carefully and only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and resident dogs. Feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs are followed exactly as instructed, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or drop-ins, I approach every pet with patience, care, and clear boundaries to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved.

About: Hello, my name is Madison! A little about me: -I’m a Hufflepuff to my core which means I’m exceedingly honest and loyal. -I am not a drinker or a smoker. -My idea of a night "out" is drinking a Christmas mocktail at an Elf themed bar. I offer reliable dog/house sitting, dog visits, and walking services so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are getting the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m definitely known for snapping pictures and doing a mini photoshoot that you didn’t ask for so you feel close to your pup while you’re gone- as well as giving you peace of mind of their safety and comfort. I baby sit/nanny and just as I prioritize respecting boundaries as well as being incredibly cautious of safety and children's comfort, I bring that same care and detail into dog and house sitting as well. I will be making my plans and daily life around my schedule for pet and house sitting along with baby sitting and nannying. I don’t overload my personal schedule. I am a very attentive and careful person, I believe in doing things the right way and that there is a right and a wrong. I have learned a lot of people have a lackadaisical attitude about things that I have always naturally cared about. I have come to learn you don’t have to be the most talented person, but actually caring about things means everything. I will treat your pets and your home as if it is my own with complete respect (and no judgement!)

About: Looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family? That’s me! With a degree in Animal Science from the University of Tennessee and 25 years of pet sitting experience—including work as a veterinary technician—I bring both expertise and deep compassion to every animal I care for. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, caged pets and chickens, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m currently available full time and actively taking on new clients. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or has special needs, I tailor my care to meet their individual personality and requirements. If your dog loves the outdoors, I’m happy to include hiking or swimming in their routine—activities I enjoy regularly with my own dog. I began pet sitting at age 12 and have built a life and business around what I love most: caring for animals. As a self-employed professional, I understand the value of trust. I always leave your home cleaner than I found it and gladly handle extra tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and taking out the trash. My goal is simple: to give your pets the attention, safety, and joy they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry, hoofed or feathered family! I am available full time for pet sitting and do not leave for periods of longer than 4 hours.

I follow your instructions closely to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. I believe every animal is unique, and I let them guide me to what they need—whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or special care. Every situation is different, and I prioritize flexibility and individualized attention to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable at all times.

About: I was absolutely obsessed with my late bulldog and toy poodle. Raising them and spending time with them each day was so much fun and fulfilling. I have been dog sitting, cat sitting and house sitting since I was 12. All through high school and both of my college degrees I continued to dog sit. I have not met a dog I haven't liked. Dogs are such a special animals. It's so fun to get to play, walk, cuddle up and just hang out with them. I'd feel lucky to be trusted to hang out with yours! Choosing my dog sitters in the past was such a stressful process because I take their care so seriously. I carry this seriousness into caring for others fur babies and treat them how I would expect my Dogsitter to treat mine! I work from home with great flexibility and have holidays off of work since I work in education. Let me know what type of schedule suits your fur baby best! I have a large backyard and a deck. Let me know how your dog best is accommodated. I've had dogs who needed to be in their crated in a new environment and others who wanted to sleep in my room or the couch. However is totally fine with me!

Susan E.
“Susan is the perfect companion for any dog (animal). She's loving, attentive, takes initiative to tend to their needs. She has very calm, sweet energy that the animals connect with and literally snuggle up to. She's consistent in her love and care for animals in general, although I know she's taken a special affinity lately to dogs. She's volunteered at dog shelters to learn more about them and become involved as a healer and guardian angel for many of them. I strongly recommend Susan as your pet caretaker.”
