House Sitting Bills Creek

About: Hello! I have 12+ years of experience caring for pets. 10 years caring for a multiple pet household and 3 years of pet sitting experience. Big and littles! I am new to Rover but can provide references from families I have pet sit for outside of Rover. I can handle medications and other daily needs. I have a lot of fun with animals but understand they also need a lot of structure. Most of my experience is with high drive and energy dogs that I know require exercise, enrichment, and structure. I have experience navigating training tools like ecollars if your pup utilizes those, and would follow your specific training system for your pet. We can go on walks in your neighborhood or a drive out to a walking trail. I’m familiar and comfortable with pups that are crate trained as well. Anxious doggos are no problem, I would just want to get info on how you best care for them when they struggle. I welcome dogs of all ages, and especially love carrying on any training you may be doing with your puppy or adult dog.i live in Rutherford county nc but am available in the greater Asheville area since my work is flexible locations. I work out of the home most of the time but I make my own schedule and work within the community. So I’m able to schedule check ins through out the day. However, because of this, I typically keep puppy or high needs (requiring constant monitoring) to weekends and holidays. My husband also helps with check ins throughout the day and some days, I am home most of the day since I have some hybrid work as well :) but I like to do a walk in the morning and evening, at least. I also enjoy enrichment time with indoor activities or training in the evenings or during poor weather. I am available many holidays, just reach out. I am okay with fenced or unfenced, as I am happy to walk your pup with a leash. I would want to know if they have issues walking though so I can plan for that and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone :) i take care of the home i am sitting as much as the animals, and i pride myself on leaving things better than i found them. I’m very meticulous and usually, you’ll hardly know I was there.

“Juliann could not have been better. She took excellent care of our senior dachshund boys. She was responsive and always sent daily updates. She was respectful of our house and took care to wash the bedsheets before she left. Highly recommend her!”

“Lynsey is wonderful! She provided loving care for our dog and parrot for 10 days in October 2022. We especially appreciated her regular updates including photos. Thank you again, Lynsey!”

“Brenda was fantastic. She communicated well, updated me on a daily basis and sent me pictures. I have always felt uncomfortable when I had to travel and leaving my guys at a kennel. Because the t are older and "set in their ways". I was looking for a service that allowed them to stay in familiar surrounding and disrupt their routines. Brenda and Rover definitely met my requirements. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone who wants a kind, friendly, professional who readily bonds with your four legged buddies. Regards. JWC”

About: Hi there! On Trusted Housesitters, I completed 26 petsits, taking care of 45 animals (26 cats, 17 dogs and 2 bunnies). You can see the testimonials from some of those petsits in my profile. Now that I am settled in Western NC, I'm excited to open myself up to the Rover community as well! Besides petsitting, I volunteered at animal shelters, helped rescue and rehab birds, and took care of animals on the farm. I have experience administering medicine and in case of any emergencies, I will always have my car which is a comfort. I also provide daily updates, so you will feel more than comfortable with me looking after your home, pets and plants :) Being a work-from-home professional allows me to give your pets all the cuddles, company, and treats (with your permission) that they desire. This has been my lifestyle for the past year and a half, so the transition for both me and pet are seamless. As a traveler myself, I can relate to being worried about leaving your home and valuables for days, weeks, and even months at a time. Therefore, I will take care of your pets and plants as if they were my own and leave your home clean and organized, so you don’t have extra work when you get back. You deserve that peace of mind and I will always provide that.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

“Andrea is everything you could want in a pet sitter — and then some. She’s responsible, communicative, and organized, but what truly sets her apart is the genuine warmth and kindness she brings to every interaction. While caring for my cats, she sent regular updates and adorable photos that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she wasn’t just doing a job — she truly cared about their well-being. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets, I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough.”

About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.

“Amelia was wonderful. She took great care of our dog in our home, kept us updated, and shared pictures throughout the stay. Sam looked happy and content, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Amelia and would gladly book with her again!”

“Constance was great!! I was a bit nervous leaving my kitty after having her for only a month but Constance made sure to play with her and give her plenty of cuddles and attention. She sent great updates and pictures while I was away and I wasn’t worried one bit. She even got my kitty to use her cat tree! I would 100% recommend :)”

About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.

About: I have always felt a special connection with dogs. I'm patient and attentive to their needs. I had a golden retriever for 13 years. I trained him as a puppy and he had a happy life. I love all dog breeds and I would be grateful to watch your dog(s). I have a flexible work schedule. I work from home 8:30am - 3:00pm on Monday - Friday.. but I'm able to do walks or drop-ins during the daytime as needed. Weekends I'm completely free. I will care for your dog(s) however you prefer and I follow instructions well. I will send you updates and photos while I'm caring for your dog(s). They will be walked, let-out, fed, played with, etc.. exactly how you would like.

“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”

“Caitlin was amazing. Sent daily pictures and updates of my dog. My dog is spoiled rotten with attention, food, love etc. Caitlin was able to give all of that to her while we were away for 10 days!!”

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 love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

“Ginger is very tidy, responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away from my senior dogs. I loved her photos and communication was great! I will definitely reach out to Ginger first for my next trip.”

About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.

“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”
