House Sitting in Boone

“Aaron stayed in my home for two weeks looking after my diabetic older cat. While my cat is not on insulin, it was such a comfort for me knowing Aaron was there and he took great care of him! I believe Aaron has a way with animals and befriended my shy kitty after a day or two. I knew I had made the right decision when we returned and my cat was very content. We will definitely have Aaron cat sit for us again! He was very dependable and personable. Thank you so much!!”

“Thank you so much! Bella was wonderful and came up to Nederland to meet and then watch our dogs as we left the country. Bella is nice and professional and clearly so good with the dogs. As long as Bella is available I will keep seeing if she can watch our pups!”

About: I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, I’ve had many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals as well as any types of administrative medicine and training! Pet care is always a joy to me, as a college student I try I balance life and school the same. Although I focus on my dreams in the near future I always go back to my roots with growing up with animals it’s my passion. My own animals at home which range from a variety of large farm animals and regular domesticated animals, I have a deep respect for animals and how they feel living in their environment. I believe all animals deserve the same treatment and respect, whether that be regular feeding and walking or even just playing with toys, I love making them feel special and comfortable.

About: Along with cats and dogs I have cared for multiple reptiles such as pythons and geckos, rabbits, hamsters and ferrets. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also in college. I’m free any time during weekends, but I work as a Vet tech for an emergency clinic during the week so my schedule on rover isn’t always accurate. I try to be as flexible as I can :) I will follow instructions given and always ask the client first before an action if unsure. Your pet will be given the best care and my utmost attention.

“Andrew was great! He took excellent care of Willow and sent photos throughout my time away. Willow peed on my couch while I was gone and he got supplies to clean it and it is like it never happened. I would recommend booking with Andrew.”

“Cassie was the perfect sitter for our pooch. She spent nine hours over two days with our dog Ginger who was never happier, but a little sullen when Cassie had to go. Cassie was punctual, totally professional and kept in close touch during her time with Ginger, sending updates and photos. We most highly recommend Cassie as the best sitter for your dog! She was a pleasure to work with.”

“She is totally awesome with my 2 German Shepherds. She came over for a few hours and paid good attention for them. She really knows how to take care of these 2.”

“Colin is an outstanding young man who went above & beyond while watching our dog & cat while we were away for the weekend. From the meet & greet before the overnight stay, we could tell that Colin was an animal lover & very experienced in caring for pets. While away, Colin went above & beyond in making sure Memphis & Knox were extra loved on and cared for, and even sent daily updates with photos/videos. We don’t trust just anyone to care for our pets, and without hesitation would recommend Colin to anyone looking for pet care!”

About: Hello! My name is Nicole. I am a Sophomore in college at Appalachian State University. I currently have no other responsibilities besides school, so I am pretty flexible! I have a few months of Rover experience, and in that time, I got to care for both cats and dogs of different sizes and needs. I have a dog and a cat of my own, as well as 6 years of pet-sitting experience. These experiences included dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. In that time, I enjoyed being able to care for every one of them and got to form close bonds with each as well. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my #1 priority, and I will always make sure to care for your pet to my fullest extent. This being said, no job is too big or small! I aim to create a stress-free and fun environment for everyone. I potty and crate trained my 3-year-old puppy. I’ve also had experience with all kinds of dogs from previous dog-sitting jobs, including big dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs with severe illnesses. Please feel free to reach out at any time. I am a quick responder to all forms of communication. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently a sophomore in college, and my only responsibility is school. This being said, I am pretty flexible and willing to work around my schedule if needed! i have a four-year-old toy poodle which I care for daily with the help of my family. He is crate-trained meaning I can easily provide this device for your dog as well. He is a hyperactive puppy who I love and adore!

“Katelyn was truly lovely! She has a wonderful disposition & our pups loved her. She took excellent care of them & respected our home. I will absolutely welcome her back any time.”

“Taylor was so good with my pup! She sent me tons of pictures of my fur baby so I knew he was in good hands. When my plans changed, she was willing to stay an extra day. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again to watch my pup!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years now. I understand your dogs are your babies so taking care of them and modifying to their needs is one of my biggest priorities! I have a lot of free time to take care of your fur babies! The summer weather is perfect for walks! My schedule is very flexible, I would love to plan some meet & greets in order to meet you and your animals! In my home, your dogs would be like a part of my everyday routine. I would prefer to care for them in their own environment of course!

About: I have worked as a kennel technician before going to college to get my degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. After graduating from Appalachian State University in May 2025 I worked as a canine coach over the summer and gained expertise in dog language and behavior. Upon being hired I completed canine coach training which is extensive online courses developed by Dogtopia’a canine behaviorist to ensure coaches understand dog language and behavior management in a playroom environment. I also grew up with two large dogs and a Shih Tzu in my families home so I am comfortable with large dog and small dog breeds. Someday I would love to have my own pet care business and save dogs that are soon to be euthanized in various shelters. Thank you for your time and I hope to be your Rover soon! This link: https://www.rover.com/sit/larist40758 I will give new clients 20$ off their first booking with rover! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment, I am available M-F. However, I may be free for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays! :) Safety and trust in my clients enviornment depends on their own specific needs and boundaries! I will definitely listen and do what I need to do to keep your pet safe and make you feel comfortable :)

“Jimena is fantastic!!! She has an excellent facility for your pup while you travel. Hazel had a GREAT time with her new friends. She will be staying there again.”

About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbours for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and do not have a dog while I am here. When I am home, I walk dogs multiple times a week. I have a fenced garden and one very gently dog. My dog is quite small, so he likes many short walks, while my previous large dog like longer walks.

“Alejandra did great and was able to schedule me in the last minute. Super prompt with her responses and overall kind/professional! I will definitely be rebooking!”
