“Matthew was very responsive and thorough. He watched my three cats for a couple days and did a great job refreshing their area and keeping an eye on them. He even watered my Christmas tree while we were away! I would definitely recommend him and use his services again :).”

“Alexis is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my fur baby! Right away when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with my cat! When I came home after a week away my cat was relaxed and happy. She did extra with keeping my bird feeders full and bird baths clean and also my plants. Wonderful and the best!!! Highly recommend Alexis!”

“Rachel was a great pet sitter for our kitty, Bandit!! Rachel was very responsive and communicative which made her meeting Bandit, going over Bandit's care, and getting keys, etc., all easy and seamless! It is clear she loves and understands pets very well. We were away for over 2 weeks and Rachel came for daily visits during that time - she sent photos and updates each day and it was clear that Bandit was very happy and well cared for. Upon our return everything was is good order and Bandit greeted us with a kitty "smile"! We highly recommend Rachel, and hope to have her care for Bandit when we next need kitty care!”

About: Well I have quite a few experiences with pets, especially dogs… I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where I am the closing lead at. Before the job I work at currently, I had worked at another doggy daycare/boarding facility where it had let me gain the experience I needed to hop into my position at my current job. Also on the side I have pet sat for some friends and family friends… along with all of that I do have my own dog, her name is Goose and she is a rescue! Goose and I have had a long journey of ups and downs dealing with making her more confident in the word, which really sparked an interest in training and rehabilitating dogs. I have yet to get my certifications for training, but they’re coming soon I care for pets on the regular, whether it be at work for 8 hours a couple days a week of at the end of the day with my dog. I care for animals most part of my days, even if I am at my friends house, you will see me attached to their cat/dog I deal with a bunch of pets with a bunch of needs. At work, we have dogs that need medicine at a timely manor or they have specific meals that need to be prepped. So far i’ve dealt with a bunch of specific pet needs, that I feel like I could easily adapt to any new pets.
About: I’m an animal lover who’s taken care of pets for over 20 years! Our family has two sweet dogs and two cats. I’m a freelance filmmaker and also teach, but have free time on my hands that I’d love to fill with fresh air, exercise and playtime with your pets! I have full availability currently and am accepting both one-time and regular clients. Looking for new clients, and would love to be a part of your pet care team! I’m safety oriented and always want to ensure your pets feels safe and loved. I always double check that doors and gates are secured before I leave, and dogs are always leashed on walks, etc. I’m tall and strong and can handle even the most rambunctious, oversized breed.
“Jacqueline took wonderful care of my cats while I was on holiday vacation. The cats really benefited from the multiple visits and time she took with them. It’s a big relief to have such a trusted and friendly Petsitter.”

“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”

I’m able to cater to a wide variety of pet needs, and I’m level-headed and competent in emergencies. I’m a college student with a pretty spread out schedule, so I never have more that 3 hours blocked out at a time. Most of all, I love playing with furry friends - and I’m quite adept with a frisbee. I’m a student, so my schedule is fixed but leaves plenty of time for some W-A-L-K action.

Shannon did a great job checking in on Peaches! She made sure Peaches got outside for a potty break and spent time playing with her before she left. I really appreciate knowing Peaches is getting some much needed attention while I’m away at work. I would definitely recommend Shannon and would be happily book with her again!

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 .

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.

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.
