“Savanna was wonderful with my cat Camilo. Her communication at all stages was very comforting and timely. I felt grateful that she took such great care of my cat while I wasn’t able to be around. Will definitely request her services again and would highly recommend her. Thanks again Savanna!”

“Isabella did a great job communicating when certain requested drop-in times would not work and we figured out a work around. She was very professional at the meet and greet. She followed all of our directions and the dogs really enjoyed their walks with Isabella. They were happy and healthy when we returned home! Great job!!”

About: I’ve been very passionate about pet sitting since I was 14, caring for every type of pet from tiny fish to large dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s keeping a senior dog comfortable, playing with an energetic kitten, or tending to a full fish tank, I love giving each pet the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Caring for my dog named Millie has made pet care an everyday part of my routine. From morning walks to playtime and feeding, I’ve learned how to keep a pet happy and healthy, and I bring that same love and attention to every pet I care for. At my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space for pets with a consistent routine of play, exercise, and meals while also ensuring that my dog and the dog I care for are comfortable together. For pet sitting in clients homes, I stick to their pets’ usual routines, offering the same care and attention to ensure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away.
“Ella T was an amazing house sitter for our elderly cat, Lucy. She arrived right on time and spent plenty of quality time with our very affectionate tuxedo kitty. Ella kept us updated with lots of adorable photos of Lucy eating, playing, and of course, cuddling… Which is her favorite activity. I truly appreciate how responsible and trustworthy Ella was, especially with carrying for both Lucy and our home. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, carrying an attentive pet sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbors for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and I am in Boone for the summer. I would love to come walk and spend time with your animals! I am highly flexible and attentive to the specific needs of your pets. I have no pets while in Boone so your animals will be my only commitment.

I have walked, watched, and played with all dogs & cats , and make sure they’re loved. I have also assisted in dog care such as helping one giving birth to 8 puppies! I am currently a full time student at Lipscomb University, but can work Tuesdays, Thursdays, ,Fridays and weekends. Whatever is needed I can work around! I have had a great amount of experience with dogs as I grew up surrounded by them. I can walk and play fetch for however long and if needed, just check in and let them use the bathroom! I love giving them affection and make sure they’re comfortable! I am also the biggest cat lover, and can do just about anything for and with your cat!
About: I grew up with two dogs in my house, a pug and an English lab. I have extensive experience caring for animals and have cared for many pets for neighbors, friends, and family since I was in my teenage years. I am able to walk high energy dogs and have the flexibility with my schedule to spend 30 minutes to one-hour visits if needed. I just started a new job in Boone which means I have more flexibility in the spring/summer, less in the fall/winter. I can commit to short but frequent visits and/or longer drop ins that can include a walk and some play time. I am able to drive to your house and safely care for your animals. I grew up with animals and around animals making me comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I am extremely detail oriented and have wide experience house sitting and dog/cat sitting. I enjoy getting animals outside for walks or taking them to a dog park for fresh air and new smells.
About: I have grown up with dogs I currently have two of my own. I have also been a certified veterinary assistant for almost two years, so you dogs will be in great hands. I am a full time student at Lees McRae College so my schedule varies, but I do not have class on Tuesday or Thursday as of this semester. In my apartment I care for my dogs with two meals a day and play time when I’m home as well as playtime outside in the fenced in dog area.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of two Australian Shepherd mixes, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been trusted with pet care from a young age and truly enjoy building relationships with the pets I care for. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. I offer dependable overnight care, so you can travel or rest easy knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved in a familiar environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine alongside my full-time job. I’m able to provide dependable overnight care, as well as morning and evening walks, feedings, and plenty of attention outside of work hours. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be available for midday walks. I’m thoughtful about communication and planning, so your pet’s needs are always met and you can feel confident they’re well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat both the space and the pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with not only your pet, but your home as well. I’m mindful of routines, house rules, and any specific instructions you leave, and I make sure everything is followed closely. I’m always respectful of personal spaces and leave your home just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — and for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Our girls love Maddigan. She has lots of experince working at vets offices/ emergency clinics, which we liked and she had a very friendly yet professional attitude. Her communication has been 100% on point. We would definetly use her again!”

About: Hello! I am excited to take care of your sweet pupperoni and treat your pet like mine! I have experience with caring for dogs and cats. I have experience pet sitting for up to three weeks and will be happy to provide references upon request. My dog has epilepsy so caring for a pet with special needs is something I can do.

I promise to treat your dog like I treat my own!
“Gracyn did a fantastic job taking care of my dog!! We also have a cat, and she was nice enough to give us pictures/and updates on both of them in the checkups even though we only requested it for the dog. On time, super flexible with her schedule, and she communicated with me each time to make sure she was taken care of while I was away! Definitely will keep Gracyn on the top of my list!”

“Lupe's care for our Bailey over the Christmas week was nothing short of remarkable. Her warmth and dedication shone through every interaction. She was respectful of our space, punctual, and very responsive, easing our minds while we were away. Her genuine affection for Bailey was evident, making us feel like Bailey was in the best of hands. We're so grateful to Lupe for her commitment during such a busy season and wholeheartedly recommend her. We look forward to entrusting Bailey to her caring hands again. Thank you, Lupe, for treating Bailey like your own!”

About: I have grown up with an assortment of pets, but dogs and cats have always had a special place in my heart. I've been taking care of dogs and cats personally since I was 10, and on and off professionally for 5 years. I am currently in school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician, and I volunteer at an animal rescue. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. The same goes for cats, certain reptiles, birds, and small pets. Caring for animals is my passion, and I hope to pursue it through Rover as well as through my choice of career. In general I have a very flexible schedule, with most weekdays completely free, and usually plenty of available time on weekends for jobs as well. I have three dog parks in my neighborhood alone, plenty of hiking trails, and other places for the dogs to stretch their legs and run around.
About: With a deep care for animals, I aim to make the cats and dogs thru this service comfortable, happy, attended to, and loved. Thank you for your consideration. For dog walking and drop in visits, I currently have a free schedule from 8am to 8pm daily. Please book with me at your convenience! During house sitting visits, I will be keeping a friendly awareness on the pets at all times and attending to their needs throughout the shift, whether that’s feeding the pets, keeping them out of harms way, or sharing time to play.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Blowing Rock 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 Blowing Rock 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.

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.

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.
