About: I have taken care and had animals of my own for my whole life and loved all the the time I have with them, Family Focused Pet care that you can count on all the time, Up to do anything This will be my main occupation so I will have plenty of time to play and spend time with your animals and make them feel as comfortable as possible I have a large yard with lots of room to run and I also have 2 very friendly dogs that love to play and should keep your pet company, we also live in a gated community with nice areas to walk/run your pets
About: I have found that dogs prefer to be in their own envirement when their owner's are away, so most of my jobs are from repeat clients and referrals for in home stays. Your pet stays in their own environment which is less stressful. As requested by you, we go on walks, mini hikes, car rides, sleep in bed with them, just lounge and watch TV, administer special diets or medicines, drop off at another relative, etc. I am flexible. Your house stays safe with someone home, mail and newspapers picked up, etc. One client always has contractors over for their large remodel. I first became a dog sitter for my 2 grandpups, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a boy and a girl. My daughter may be the most demaning, pickiest, list of rules person in the world. Her dogs are her children and I know yours are too. So please if you feel bad about leaving them, if you have a weird request I will understand. Since I am semi-retired I have more flexibility as well. I have had dogs who needed me to sit on the floor with them while they eat, want to sleep in same bed as me, constantly want to sit on my lap or next to me. I understand the power of treats, their special toys and love! It's stressful when the owners are away, but I am here to fill that void. Rest assured, I can send you updates as needed. Whether it's a daily overview from the visits on email, quick text and/or picture from the visit, quick phone call, just let me know. If you need to meet up prior to engagement we can, If you have a longer term request we can work out a discount as well. Let me know how I can help you out and make this less stressful for you and your loved one!
“We have used Talen to walk our senior boy Marco for several months now. She is punctual, reliable, kind, and always gets the job done above and beyond. We are grateful to have her help!!”
About: I have been housesitting/dog sitting for about 5 years now, and I LOVE it! I love to show the dogs I’m watching special attention and spoil them ever so slightly. When I’m housesitting while dog sitting, that’s a bonus! Not only do I spoil the dog, but also the dog owners. I enjoy making sure the home is nice and tidy before the homeowners come home. I’ve never had any troubles with any dogs before - we were just meant to be! When you need a dog/house sitter, you can rely on me to care for your fur baby as much as you would! I currently am working full-time through Rover, so your pets will be well taken care of and played with. I grew up having a dog, so remembering to let them out and feed them is practically second nature for me! If your dog has a special diet or feeding time, no problem! I take care of the pet as if I’m their owner, showing special care and love while you are away. If needed, I do have a fenced in back yard at my home to take the dog to play around. Even though the dog is not mine, I always make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone.
About: I am a mom to 2 humans and 2 dogs. ❤️ I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have attended vet tech school and was also a mobile dog groomer! I am reliable, hard working and will take great care of your fur babies. 😊 Family, neighbors and friends have relied on me to check in on their dogs multiple times and to take them for a nice walk! I am currently working full time, but I am available Friday - Sundays! Also available weekday mornings from 6AM - 7AM. Thank you for trusting me! I will gladly find the safest routes near your house to walk your dog (far away from busy roads), or whatever route you prefer! For stop ins, I will gladly feed/water/play and crate your dog if needed. 😊
About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have 3 cats at home but love taking care of the pups! I have been helping my friend's with dog sitting over the years. I love playing with them and caring for them! I'm in school full time and have a couple of my courses online. My schedule is fairly flexible and I can work around different times. Whether that be early morning or later nights. I take caring for pets very seriously. I'm attentive to their behavior changes and possible ailments. I'm not one to sit on my phone during my visits. I engage, play, and love on the pets while I am there.
About: Thanks for clicking! Let me tell you about myself. I love meeting new pets! I’ve worked with puppies, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and senior dogs as well. It’s so important to me to learn their individual needs to make their experiences with me as comfortable and safe as possible until their people come home! Please keep me aware of any medications, vitamins, or special attention that your fur baby may need while you’re away. I love living in a quiet country home because of the peace it gives to dogs while on their stay with me. Give your pet the chance to relax on my fenced in porch and enjoy watching the world go by! As a business owner, my schedule is very flexible. Because I’m self employed, I have more time for my dog at home (and yours, too!). I have one small dog at home to keep your pet company! I have a small and a large crate available if you prefer for your pet to be crated. I have a large front and back yard for your pet to explore while leashed.
“Breana is a wonderful companion for your fur baby with a resonable price. She is great with last minuet walks and will show up on a dime. Great for those days when the pooch needs a walk and you can’t find the time to get out.”
About: I have lived with and been around dogs my whole life. I have experience in dog sitting and dog walking, and I am always up for helping people and especially their furry friends! I also have had four cats who were very opposite from being cuddly to being a bit aggressive. However I still love those fuzzballs deeply. Finally I had three parakeets who were very loud but so fun to have around. I am currently in Taylor’s South Carolina. I am 18 years old and currently do not have a job so I am extremely flexible with my schedule. I can really do any day of the week. I like make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also give pets lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always keep things clean and organized. Lastly, of course have fun with the pet and give them lots of love.

About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon and Greer areas. I am currently taking the summer off from working in healthcare full time. Until then, I am working in the hospitality industry and my schedule is rather flexible- leaving plenty of time to care for your furry ones! ***For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time.*** I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.
“Nicole has been an absolute star to us since we moved to the area! We needed some quickly to help during long work days with our dog after moving to the area without knowing anyone. Nicole has consistently gone above and beyond for us and for our pup! She’s reliable, kind, outgoing, and takes great care of our dog. She has really been amazing in managing a dog who sometimes has behavioral issues and needs a firm hand at times. She gives him plenty of love and exercise but also knows when to hold her ground with him! The best part is that he always comes back looking happy and tired, two things a dog owner loves! We cannot recommend her enough and look forward to working with her as much as we can”
About: My love for animals started young, as I grew up in an household full of pets and maintained responsibilities including feeding, potty care, and daily head scratches / cuddles. For over 10 years, I regularly provided full daily care with walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I treat every pet like they’re my own and understand how important it is to feel confident that your animal is in reliable, attentive hands. I’m available on the weekends as you head to a getaway! If your location is close enough, I can pop over for a visit, just shoot me a message :) I will follow any owner’s instructions on how best to care for their furry friend in their home! Happy to play in a backyard, take them on walks, or hang out in the home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Ridge
My first time having someone I didn’t know walk my pup and I couldn’t have made a better choice! I loved the report card and the super cute and goofy photos. Puddin seemed super happy with Caite and I would definitely go with her again. It’s nice having the peace of mind knowing that Caite has practice dealing with anything that could possibly go wrong. 10/10 recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Blue Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Blue Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Blue Ridge.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blue Ridge. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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 walker.
