About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats for the last 12 years. Through this I have gained valuable experience with working with a variety of dog breeds. Although, my experience goes beyond this as my love for animals is one of my greatest traits. While working pastime at a childcare facility, I have enough time throughout the day to check on your pet, let them out for a potty break, or just keep them company! Depending if I have any other activities or events to attend to, I’m pretty much free all the time. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. For the dogs, we have a large, fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. All of our dogs have leashes and collars to ensure safety for us and our pets. As for the cats, they each have their own litter box which is scooped daily and their own food bowls.
“Exceptional!! Angel was amazing with our cats and home! She provided excellent details/photos twice daily allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were in such loving and caring hands??”
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.
About: With over 4+ years of experience, I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, I’ve never not been without a pet! Growing up, I was the neighborhoods “go-to girl” for dog sitting. I Started working at a doggy day care, boarding, and grooming facility in high school, then college, and loved every second of it! I am very experienced in working/handling dogs of all different types of breeds and love them all! I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, especially dogs. I am currently a student with classes Monday-Thursday, but I have big breaks during my classes, so I am extremely flexible and can accommodate most times of the day. I have years of experience with walking dogs/dog sitting and keeping them safe. I worked at a doggy day care called Pooch Pad, where I fed, medicated, and cared for dogs of all different breeding types.
About: Growing up in a home filled with a beloved cat and two dogs, animals have always been a central part of my life. I understand firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished family members who deserve the highest level of love, respect, and attentive care.For the past year, I have been working as a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, providing everything from high-energy outdoor walks to cozy overnight stays. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, calm, and intuitive when it comes to reading an animal's body language and comfort levels. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a long walk, or a bit shy and prefers quiet, gentle companionship, I adapt my energy to meet their unique needs. I graduated from college and moved back home. I work part time. Pet care fits into my schedule throughout the week. I have 2 dogs of my own. I would love you walk your dog or take care of your cat! I can provide care to pets at my clients home. I will always make sure they are happy, healthy, and have all their needs met.
About: l am offering my pet sitting services for anyone living close to Boone, NC, that is in need of dog walking or pet sitting services. I was raised on a Dairy, Avocado and Coffee farm in the coffee region of Colombia and l have many years of experience with all types animals including: Dogs, Cats, Birds and even exotic animals such as Owls, Squirrels, Rabbits and my Cows, Chickens and Ducks. Being surrounded with all these types of animals since my childhood I was taught from a very young age to love, care and respect all animals. Some of my best experiences were learned when I assisted in the birth of our baby cows, and rescued new born, abandoned or injured animals around the farm. On many occasions I had to extensively nurse these animals back to health. While I speak Spanish fluently and some English, I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to offer my services and knowledgeable experience here in the United States, where pets are loved and respected as children. My husband, an eCommerce entrepreneur, and I are both fortunate to work from our home so all pets we take care of are always in good company and are never left alone. While pets stay in our home they are protected and well cared for and treated like members of our family. While living in Florida I owned and operated a successful pet business for 9 years called Aventura Pet Care. I always had the dream of expanding my Pet Care business and one day owning land where I could take care of many more types of exotic animals. Finally, we decided to fulfill our dream and relocated to Boone NC in 2021 where we started a small farm called Encanto Farm. Now with an acre of land we have plenty of space to continue our Pet Sitting business taking care of small and exotic pets and such as: Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Birds, Turtles, Parrots, Small Dogs, Cats, Chickens, & Ducks. They are only given food that corresponds to each pet. They always have their clean water, neat bedroom. We play, we walk and they are given a lot of love. I like to know the medical condition of pets. Additional if they are allergic or if they have any important condition. Very important to have full vaccinations and that they are neutered.
“Savanna did a wonderful job taking care of our cat for two weeks. We really appreciated the photos and updates. Our apartment was tidy and our cat was happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely rebook with Savanna and recommend her to friends and family.”
About: Hi my name is Amelia! I’ve had my dog for 8 years. I’ve been walking and pet sitting dogs for the last 4. I absolutely love animals and have lots of experience with different dog personalities and behaviors. I’m currently available all summer long. Whether you need help on weekends, weekdays, early mornings, late nights, or afternoons. Feels free to shoot me a message whenever you need a helping hand! I do not care for pets in my home on account of my own dog and housing. I can care for a dog in a clients home. However, I just do walks but I’m fine with refilling water or food bowls.
“Sarah was great with my pup. She came and let him out twice while we were visiting a ski resort as we were in the area on vacation. She took him on walks, played with him and spent time with him while we were away and sent pictures as well. It was nice to know he was being cared for while we were gone for the day. I would recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have both baby sat/pet sat since 8th grade for friends and neighbors. I have experience with puppies, cats, and older dogs and have done overnight sitting, day-sitting, and drop-bys. As a college student am available most weekends/weeknights somewhat throughout the day. I very much appreciate being given a 3 day notice to a booking! I am extremely careful to leave spaces as I found it when in clients homes. This means keeping gates/fences/doors locked, potential accidents cleaned, and communication with clients throughout the sitting 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.

Cali was wonderful! Timely responses to my texts, reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful. She was so good to my senior dog. I can tell he misses her already! We had wedding festivities all weekend and having Cali come stay with Fergus really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her.
Caroline proactively set up a meet and greet with us prior to babysitting our puppy which gave us a lot of comfort leaving her our first time. I appreciate that she stayed longer than required to keep our puppy company I recommend Caroline. She’s a responsible and kind person.
Hayleigh has taken excellent care of our 2-month-old puppy several times. She takes extra time playing and walking with our baby. She communicates well and consistently. She even brought our mail and packages inside during her most recent visit. Highly recommend!
Ava was amazing with my two babies! We were just in town for the weekend for an.App State game and had an Airbnb. Her communication before/during/after was the best! She was so attentive and took great care of my old fella (almost 14) and my super needy hound dog mix. I wish she lived in my town and I would have her babysit more often ! I couldn't be happier or have asked for anyone better.

- 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.
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 Boone 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.

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 .
