“Angela was able to come by on a moments notice and really helped Ellie. She’s absolutely wonderful to work with and incredibly communicative about what happens during the visits.”
About: I work from home so I am able to spend the day with your pet if you so choose. I have been caring for newborn puppies to elderly dogs in some kind of capacity for the past twenty-five years, I typically walk and play with the dogs that I am caring for but if there is something you or your dog would like just ask and I'll be sure to do those things. I have worked in a vetienerian clinic as well so if I need to I am able to give CPR. I have had multiple senior dogs of my own and so I know what it takes to take care of dogs of all ages. I love all kinds of animals and the care that I have for them comes through when I take care of them. I work from home so I would be able to spend all day or night with your pet and be able to do anything they need. I have a fenced-in yard that could allow your fur baby to run around and play until they are continent. I also allow pets in my house so they can cool off, get some water and food.
“This was my first time using Rover. I typically board my dogs but the kennel caused them such anxiety that I thought I would try a sitter this time. Why didn't I think of that sooner? They were happy and well taken care of when I returned home. Katirna was dependable, easily accessible, and communicated with me on a regular basis. She will be my first choice every time.”
About: I currently have 1 dog named Willow. She is a husky mix so we go for lots of walks together. I work full time as an athletic trainer so I don’t go in for work until afternoons/evenings. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and give your pet exercise, potty breaks, and food while you are gone. I work 2:30-6pm most nights. Game nights later. Most weekends are off or limited hours for games. Available all morning and lunch time Take the time to give pet exercise, food, and of course lots of pets while you are gone. Will make sure things are kept clean or cleaned up if fur baby has any accidents.
“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”
“I highly recommend Margaret as a pet sitter! She is punctual, professional, genuinely cares for your fur babies, and does the best job possible. A tree fell down on the road leading up to my house and blocked the road. Margaret did not hesitate to park her car and walk to my house . She communicated with me daily to let me know who’s my dog. was doing. I will definately use Margaret again!!”
“Omg! Brenna was amazing! We’ve never traveled with or left our pup and were so nervous about leaving him. Brenna met us once we got in town to meet Remi and checked on him twice while we were out and about all day. We felt so comfortable after her first visit that we were able to relax and enjoy the day. We felt like she enjoyed him as much as we do. I would highly recommend Brenna to anyone who lives in or visits the Blue Ridge area. We will definitely use her again when we come back.”
About: We provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet's personality and needs. With patience, attention, and genuine compassion, we make pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. We are semi-retired couple that have been in the area for over 8 years. We have plenty of time and experience to care for your pets. For hosting your pet at our home, we have an 8 year old hound dog mix that is unbelievably chill and he always loves to meet other dogs. We do have an extra large crate already if your dog requires/likes to be crated.
“Has been absolutely great at slowly working with my undersocialized/shy rescue the past few weeks, always answers quickly, shows up on time, and is very available - definitely will be working with for future stays!”
About: I’ve had every type of pet under the sun from dogs to cats to reptiles and love them all the same. Very experienced with all breeds and able to handle very large dogs / gentle with very small kittys. I am available 24/7 to meet the needs of our best friends. I treat animals like kids they deserve the world. Willing to help anytime. I live in a house with a decently large back yard, 2 dogs and 1 cat but enough space to keep animals separated if yours don’t get along with others. Easy paved walk or a simple mountain trail close If your dog requires more intense walks.
“Taylor took good care of my five cats during daily drop-ins and communicated well during the booking process and when any concerns arose during the petsitting period. I'd book Taylor again!”
“Aaron was great with Maggie and Gus. They are always a little shy at first, but warmed up to Aaron quickly and even allowed belly rubs and head pats which is AWESOME and a sign they approve! The daily report cards, photos and playtime with each of them made us feel very comfortable with the care provided while we were away for the holidays! Aaron was super responsive and kept us in the loop always! We plan to be repeat customers if schedule permits!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and caring for animals has always been a core part of my life. Alongside long-term sitting experience, I have a strong background in both the veterinary and farm industries, giving me hands-on knowledge of animal behavior, health, and safety across a wide range of species and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, and keeping a calm, attentive eye on subtle changes in behavior. From energetic puppies and senior pets to anxious animals who need a little extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make your animals feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I structure my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Because I have long-term experience in both veterinary and farm settings, I’m used to managing multiple animals and maintaining reliable routines. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead for any special needs like medications, training reinforcement, enrichment activities, or extra exercise. I’m organized, dependable, and flexible, so pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle rather than feeling rushed or transactional. I care for pets the same way I’d want my own animals cared for: with consistency, patience, and close attention to their individual needs. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was able to walk. Household always had anywhere from 2-9 dogs at once ranging all age ranges from week old puppies and 16 year old cuddle bugs. Breeds range from small to extra large. Me and my wife currently have two Cane Corsos, a frenchton, and boston terrier beagle mix in the family. I am currently working part time and have plently of hours throughout the weekday and weekends where i can provide company, playtime, walks, or even house sitting. Schedules are most important for dogs to feel comfortable and less anxious. I would adhere my best to the owners timelines and Schedule to help make sure their fur babies stay as stress free as possible and living happy long lives!
“Delaney is a true superstar! I left her with her hands full and she did everything I asked! She even took extra care with my kitten who had a health problem as well as has a great time with my pups ? 1000000% recommendation and will use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Ridge
Katirna has been a true lifesaver; I cannot say enough good things about her help, dedication, and dependability . We recently had a situation with our keys 🔑 pop up and she gracefully jumped in and was able to be there for us during a time of need and vulnerability. We have three cats and her genuine care and love for our senior cat 🐈⬛, Reggie, has been so rare and priceless. Thanks again, we appreciate your time and loving care- Liz & Steve Y
We had a fantastic experience with Dewey caring for our 4 feral cats. He arrived every day as scheduled, made sure everyone was fed and had fresh water, and took the time to quietly interact with them so they could acclimate at their own pace. By the end of the stay, even our more cautious cats were noticeably more relaxed around him, which says a lot about his clam, respectful approach with animals. We were also able to observe his visits on our cameras while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear he arrived consistently, spent time with the cats rather than rushing in and out, and handled everything just the way we'd hoped and more. We would absolutely book Dewey again and highly recommend him, especially for shy or feral cats who need a patient, consistent presence.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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 .
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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
