House Sitting in Blue Ridge

“Amanda was great! She is clearly experienced with big, strong dogs and handled ours with confidence and ease. We especially appreciated how much she walked our dog. It made a big difference. On top of that, she is very personable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”

“Katrina was wonderful. She was very nice and Alvie took to her right away so I had no anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a dog sitter and we would absolutely use her again.”

About: I have great attention to detail and can follow any specific needs to the letter! I can promise to keep your pet happy and healthy! I keep a pretty open schedule so I am able to work in almost any job. Whatever works best for the client is what works best for me! I have both open and fenced areas for different needs as well as more enclosed areas if that is necessary. There are a few other dogs around as well to help your pet feel welcomed!

About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.

“Taylor has watched our rambunctious dog Maggie in our home twice (both times for multiple days). He and Maggie have an excellent rapport. They clearly enjoy each other's company! An added plus - Taylor kept the house extremely neat and clean. We will definitely call him again anytime we need to go away.”

About: Animal Shelter Enrichment Volunteer, Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

“Mandy did a great job. One of my pets is a little challenging, but she seemed to deal with it remarkably well. Both of my dogs were well careful and happy when I got home.”

“Sherri did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. She sent frequent updates WITH pictures showing me that everyone was eating, playing outside, and relaxing. I saw no stress with any of them. Sherri was always on time and she made it easy for me to feel confident in her skills even with short notice for this job and my newness to using Rover. She left the house even cleaner than it was to begin with! I am so happy to know there’s someone who can come and stay with my older pets if I need it and they can remain in their own home in comfort and with less stress than being put in a kennel. This is the service I’ve been looking for in this area, and Sherri’s care is worth every penny of the cost. Thank you! I would highly recommend!”

“I am new to hiring a dog sitter to care for my sweet Ginger. However, I believe I have found my forever pet sitter. Thank you Ashley for sending me pictures of Ginger while I was away. It really put me at ease. Folks, Ashley made me feel is comfortable in leaving Ginger in her care. I love the fact that Ashley came over before my trip to meet and spend some time with Ginger. Also Ashley's price to watch and care for Ginger was so reasonable! I look forward to planning my next trip knowing Ashley is there for Ginger.”

“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”

“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!

About: My mother and I were golden retriever breeders from 2000 to 2008. I have owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I have helped friends by sitting for them. I now have four cats. I am currently unemployed so I am fully available right now. Please reach out to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Peace and Love. I am very careful and loving with animals. I will write down all the instructions for every animal. I understand that every animal is different in its own special way.

“Katherine was great. She took very good care of Jax and definitely went the extra mile for him. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Kyle was great! He took such good care of our two dogs, taking them on multiple walks a day and giving them tons of affection while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our home, even washing and changing the guest room sheets before we returned. We definitely will use his services again. We highly recommend him.”

About: I have been watching dogs sense I was able to drive. I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs and cats. I have a pup named Prince he’s a good boy. I love to meet new pup friends and take care of them as if they were mine. I am a full time student but I am online so I can walk or take out your pets whenever it’s needed, but i do work a part time job. If my assistants is needed just text me and we can set something up! I first want to meet the dogs and go over the do’s and don’ts with the owner. I value the comfort and trust from the pet and owner over everything.

“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”
