“Our dogs met Natalie today for the first time and they loved her right away! She has wonderful, good vibe energy and they took really well to her. Our dogs are rescues and one of them gets nervous around strangers but she handled meeting him so well. We look forward to having her look after our fur babies!”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic with my skiddish kitties. They came out to greet her and received pets which is unusual for them when they are not familiar with someone. Megan was very communicative leaving messages and pictures daily. She went above and beyond with her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again! 5/5 stars!!!!!”
“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. :)”
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.
“After having a bad history with dog walkers I was a bit nervous with having another, but Taylor was so great. From the first meet and greet Rocky (who can be particular) jumped right in his lap. He did everything we asked and sent pictures with our baby in his lap happy as can be. It made us feel so much better about having to leave him and we will definitely be using Taylor in the future. Highly recommend!!”
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!

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Blue Ridge is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blue Ridge. 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 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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
