“Thomas did amazing with our little guy Beau. He did a meet and greet before hand as this was our first time using rover. He is very nice and prompt. He also gave picture updates and made us feel more secure that our little guy was well taken care of when we were at work. Would highly recommend him!”
“Alex is great! I needed a last minute drop in sitter for my cat and he did an awesome job! He is super punctual and communicative and did everything I asked for. I got lots of updates and pics which I always love! I will definitely book him in the future!!!”
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
“Thank you so much Renee! I appreciate you always being reliable and taking such great care of my babies. You went above and beyond buying more kitty food when I ran out. I can’t thank you enough!”
“One of our dog seriously hurt her leg two days before we were leaving for a week long vacation. Lena stepped in without hesitation to help with meds and provide extra care per our vet's instructions. She made a stressful situation much easier to handle—both for us and our hurt dog! She also took awesome pics!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to pet care. I’m the proud human of a poodle with a mohawk and two cats, so I’m fluent in both high-energy zoomies and quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s patient walks, extra reassurance for seniors, or playful engagement for younger pups. I’m especially great with senior pets, shy animals, and pets who need a steady, gentle presence. I don’t rush visits, I don’t overwhelm, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own pack—because that’s how I’d want mine cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, allowing plenty of time for each pet so they’re never rushed. Caring for my own dog and cats every day keeps me consistent, attentive, and flexible, and I plan client visits thoughtfully to ensure reliable, calm, and focused care. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and affection, along with any enrichment they enjoy. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and each pet’s comfort, and I always take time to observe their behavior and needs so they feel secure, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Ashley was professional and nice to work with. I can tell she is compassionate and genuinely cares about all animals. She has a calm demeanor and offered many helpful tips for my dog, Kelso. She was very flexible and willing to work with my schedule.”
“Katie gets 5 stars. She was really good at communicating and took such great care of our fur babies. We felt they were in great hands. We will definitely use her again when we will need a sitter. Thank you Katie.”
About: My style is very gentle, understanding, and affectionate, though I am also very clear with boundaries and behaviors. I was a foster parent for Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico for three years. I have special experience with pregnant dogs and cats, newborns, and I have a big soft spot for senior pets. I am an avid hiker and walker, so your babies will get plenty of exercise! I am a retired childbirth educator, doula, and Hypnotherapist. I am blessed to have my days to myself and am home all day except for errands and hikes. We live in Sun City, Georgetown, Texas. Since I'm retired, my schedule is wide open. Lana, my partner, works full time from home. Our two little 5 year old poodle mixes are used to welcoming and entertaining new furry friends, since they have "fostered" many dogs over the years.
About: I enjoy creating relationships with dogs. Every dog deserves a quality life and sometimes we are too busy to give them what they deserve. I have owned dogs my whole life and am very comfortable taking them on walks and keeping them company. I will also work on leash training with your dog. I have lots of experience with rescues, and dogs of all kinds. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Overall, I can tire out your pet with long walks and play time (and cuddle time too, if needed!) I prioritize creating a trusting relationship with dogs so that not only will they be nourished physically, but also emotionally. Willing to work on tricks and training as well -- whatever is most important for you and your dog. I'm currently working part time, so I have lots of time for you and your dog! Happy to have your dog stay at my place as well. I have a fenced in yard with 2 of my own fur babies to keep yours company! They can run around together and get human attention too!
About: I am a recent high school graduate looking to care for your pets! Within the last year I have consistently cared for 5 pets and have 2 of my own. When caring for pets I spend genuine time with them to give them a good experience so they continue to feel safe and loved while you are away. I have cared for rescue dogs and have a rescue dog of my own so I understand many pets have special needs and I am willing to provide them. It is important to me that you and your pet feel confident in their care so you may both be worry free. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting and caring for your lovely animals !

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Black Mountain
We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Katie as our in-home pet sitter! From the very first meeting, she was incredibly friendly, kind, and calm, which immediately put both us and our elderly poodle at ease. She arrived punctual, always professional, and ready to give our furry family member the attention he needed. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and well-loved while we were away, and we came home to a content animal each time. Highly recommend

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Black Mountain stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Black Mountain choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Black Mountain with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
