About: Iâve been in the animal care industry for 20 years with experience with cats, dogs and horses. Caring, reliable, and honest, detail oriented animal lover. Experience with administering medications, puppy training methods and senior animal care. My schedule is very flexible so I have ample time to spend with your pet. I have availability spread between weekdays and weekends, so reach out and I will do my best to meet your petâs needs. I am very detail oriented and do well with keeping a routine schedule for your pet. From feeding practices and walking to playing with them and their preferred enrichment activities, Iâm happy to maintain your petâs routine environment to the best of my ability to keep them safe and happy.
About: I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them never feels like work to me. Iâm an active person who loves walks and playtime with energetic pups, but Iâm equally happy giving a cat some quiet company and affection or simply respecting the space of a pet who prefers to do their own thing. While Iâm new to offering services through Rover, Iâm not new to pet sitting. Iâve cared for pets through TrustedHousesitters, including cats, active dogs, and senior pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. Iâm also happy to share reviews from my previous sits. Iâm a pet mom myself to Daisy, our sweet, social, and playful Golden Retriever. Weâre not looking to add another pet to our family right now, but Daisy loves other dogs, so welcoming a friendly pup into our home gives her a chance to make new friends and enjoy some meaningful playtime too. As a pet parent, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing your animal isnât simply being âwatched.â I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while youâre away. That might mean long walks and playtime, lots of snuggles and attention, or giving a shy or independent pet the space and patience they need to feel comfortable. When I leave Daisy with someone, I love knowing that sheâs not just safe, but actually having a good time. I want her stay to feel like a fun little getaway rather than being left behind. Thatâs the same feeling I hope to give you when you leave your pet in my care. Whether Iâm walking your pup, checking in on your cat, or welcoming your dog into our home, my goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same attention, kindness, and care Iâd want for my own. đ§ââď¸đžâ¨ My schedule is very flexible during the week, which gives me plenty of time for walks, play, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I primarily work as a gigging musician on weekends, so I tend to keep most of my bookings to weekdays. If Iâm available for weekend boarding, my husband is also home and helps with pet care, so your pup will still have plenty of company and attention. My Rover calendar will always reflect my current availability! We have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play, including a puppy-proofed area where dogs can safely hang out and make themselves at home. We also have a large yard that is currently unfenced, so dogs are always supervised and leashed outside. Weâre having a fence installed soon! Our sweet, social Golden Retriever puppy, Daisy, loves other dogs and would be thrilled to welcome a friendly pup for a stay and playdate. We live on a quiet little street thatâs great for walks, and Iâm also happy to load up the pups for longer adventures at nearby parks, greenways, and trails. I want your dogâs stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible, so tell me all about their normal routine: where they sleep, whether theyâre crate-trained, feeding schedule, favorite activities, quirks, and anything else that helps them feel at home. Weâre flexible and happy to accommodate what works best for your pup. đž
âGracyn watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats when we had to travel out of town. She provided drop in visits as well as overnights and took great care of our pets. We recommend her highly.â

âWhen weather got bad, Kate was able to take care of my pup even when it was not an expectation to do so. I appreciated this so much, especially since I have such anxiety around it. She always takes fantastic care of Moby, I canât say how much I appreciated her during this bad weather scare. Thanks for everything Kate!â

About: Hi! Iâm Izzy, and Iâm the kind of person who will probably greet your dog before I greet you! đđś Iâve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have always had a huge soft spot for animals. Iâve cared for my own pets, watched pets for friends and family, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare! Working at a doggy daycare gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, energy levels, and play styles. Iâve learned how to read body language, recognize different behaviors, safely manage groups of dogs, and understand when a pup needs playtime, space, reassurance, or a good cuddle. đ𩷠I absolutely LOVE getting to know each petâs unique personality. Whether your pup is a crazy ball of energy who wants to play all day, a nervous little baby who needs extra patience, or a professional couch potato who just wants cuddles Iâm happy to meet them exactly where theyâre at! When your pets are with me, theyâll get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and of course⌠LOTS of belly rubs. đ My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while youâre away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur babies are in caring and experienced hands. Iâll treat them like theyâre my own and make sure they get all the love they deserve. I canât wait to meet your furry family members! đžâ¨ Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. I also have experienced introducing pets safely, as I have four friendly dogs and three gentle cats at home who are used to meeting new animals. I always take time to ensure every pet feels comfortable and respected
About: I lived on a farm until I was about 18 and have a lot of experience working with all types of animals. During my high school years, I moved to NYC to live with my dad. While there I worked with a company called Wag. I worked with Wag during the summer of 2016; the summer before my senior year of high school. Working with Wag was an amazing opportunity because I got to walk many types of dogs. I have received over 300 five-star reviews with Wag. I'm great with any size of dog as well as any age. I have great experience in walking dogs that are visually impaired dogs. I currently live in a house with 3 dogs that I take care of. Being able to take care of dogs is what I love to do. I love your animals like my own.
About: I have experience caring for all types of animals whether itâs dogs, cats or even rabbits. I have been pet sitting for close to 4 years and have been regularly dog walking for 2 years. My schedule changes on a weekly basis but I am very flexible. Most weekdays I am available, weekends I am more busy but we will work out a schedule that works for both of us! I want to keep your pet(s) happy and safe. In regards to petsitting I try and follow the routine that your pet is used to, and I love adding in fun activities and enrichment so they can thrive even when you are on vacation. I will also keep you posted with pictures and updates. For walks I change my approach for each pup, some dogs love to sniff, some like to run, and others love to learn new tricks. So whatever your doggy likes I try to provide a sensory rich activity as well as an opportunity for them to get some sunshine.
About: Iâm not just someone who pauses to care for your pet; my love for animals goes beyond measure. Iâm committed to ensuring that the time I spend with them exceeds all expectations.

But LOVES people and other animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Black Mountain is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,015 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Black Mountain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesnât 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 youâd 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
