About: **Notice** Right now I'm only able to service Bryson City and parts of whittier. No bad driveways due to vehicles I have experience with animals of all kinds. I love them all. I previously worked at an animal shelter for 6 yrs. My dogs have all been trained. I absolutely love spending time with animals. Their care and well being comes first. I have worked with obedience trainers in the past and usually when im on a walk with a dog im not just walking them im usually incorporating obedience work with the walk. Positive reinforcement is how i train. I try to make my time with the animals fun and exciting. I dont want the dog to be bored and miss their owners while they are away. I want them to be happy and comfortable with me. I go above and beyond to make their sitting experience the best. I currently work another full time job so I try to keep my calendar updated on the days I'm available. Sometimes I can do drop in visits after work if that helps. I am not currently caring for pets in my home due to the amount of rescues I have at the moment. But I am still doing drop ins and walks
“Leah has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and my dog loves her! She is always attentive, responsive, and on time. Getting updates about my pup from Leah is the best part of my workday! She always makes sure that she does all of her business and has fresh water which is so helpful with the long hours I work. Thank you Leah!”
“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”

About: I have a love for all animals since I can remember. Especially dogs. 🐾 Having had dogs my entire life and getting my own girl named bella I rescued at 3 months old who had a beautiful long life passing a year ago. I know how to handle multiple dogs at once as i’ve watched 6 animals all together cats and dogs. I am very experienced in this. I have tended to medical needs, bathing, extra care for scared animals, walks with multiple dogs and more. I really am a natural caretaker to fur babies. I worked at a holistic pet store for a while and learned much about dog healthcare which benefited my dogs and other people's dogs lives I was able to give advice to. Walks, outside time, & play time is essential for your pup. And of course, treats if provided! I will go over each dogs needs prior to watching. I will treat your dog like my own and they will get immense love staying with me and bella. I usually also offer energy healing & massage if I notice the pup over can benefit. I currently work from home so am open and available to care for your fur baby and will be with them all the time! They will get so much care and love. I will be able to spend time with them play with them all day, walk them and make sure they eat on time. Really, they will be with me all the time. I set up a cozy space for everyone for sleeping time. They can also sun bath in our patio over looking beautiful pine trees.
About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.
About: I grew up alongside many beloved labradors and English setters, as well as taken care of various other breeds for family and friends. I have always had a soft spot for furry friends, and they often have a soft spot for me too! I’m on break from college and looking for any opportunity to work with your pets! Let me know what you need and I will deliver! I will take the time to get to know your pet, and allow them to feel comfortable with me. I offer walking and drop in sitting services!
About: My whole life has revolved around my passion and love for animals. From volunteering at my local animal shelter, working at luxury pet resorts to working on a Farm I have had experience with animals of all sizes. In the future I hope to become a certified dog trainer and I am already on my way to it. I am dog and cat CPR certificated. I have years of experience caring for all sizes and age groups of pets. I personally have two dogs that get to go to the park and do training daily. I personally feel like enrichment for animals is one of the most important part of pet care in a day. I strive myself to be able to give all of the animals I take care of mental and physical enrichment daily. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of work to care for my own pets, as well as others pets to my best ability. My main priority for pet care is making sure the pet is safe, happy and healthy. I also want to make sure that pet parents are comfortable with the approaches I use and the incentives given to the animals. I want the pet care I provide to be a happy and mutually beneficial experience for both the animals and the parents.
“Sarah was great! Very kind and great communication. Loved seeing all the pictures she took of Enzo on his walk. He always looked so happy! Sad she’s leaving the state for a few months but definitely looking forward to working with her again when she returns.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bryson City
Now that my dad is back on his feet and able to walk the dogs again, we just wanted to share how grateful we are for Cheyenne’s help over the past few weeks. She has been incredibly flexible and easy to work with the entire time. Even this past week, with rainy weather and a puppy who loves puddles, she was willing to adjust her schedule to make things work. That kind of willingness to adapt really made a difference for us. Cheyenne was also good about communicating and keeping us updated, which we appreciated, especially since timing varied a bit day to day, but she kept us informed. Overall, she has been accommodating, responsive, and easy to work with through every change we threw her way, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. If we ever need a dog walker again, we will definitely be reaching out to Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was so incredibly patient and responsive! We were in from out of town and wanted someone to check in on our dog while we were hiking in the park. Our dog was in great hands and whenever we are back in the area, we’ll definitely reach out. Couldn’t recommend Cheyenne more!
After returning from vacation, we were so glad Cheyenne was available to help again while my dad is still recovering from knee surgery. This week brought a new wrinkle for us since we had just brought home our new rescue (a 25 lb Mountain Feist), and we realized it would be best for everyone if the dogs were walked separately. Cheyenne handled that change without hesitation and was very flexible as we figured out what worked best. Even though she wasn’t able to do a full 60 minutes for each dog, she made the most of the time she had and walked both dogs for 45 minutes each. That kind of flexibility and willingness to adjust really meant a lot to us during a hectic week. Both dogs are doing great with her, and it’s clear she’s comfortable managing different needs and personalities. She’s also been easy to communicate with and dependable throughout. We’ve already hired her again for two more days next week. Her rates are very reasonable, especially considering she’s willing to come out to my parents’ home, which isn’t close to town. That’s been a huge help for our family.

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 Bryson City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
