“Bonnie loves her visits with Kathleen. She is always ready to help when we need her. ♥️”


“Alyssa was very detailed on Sophie’s day and cleaning up after her. We appreciated the daily updates.”



“Terri did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! Upon my return, I could tell she was detailed in her care of them and that she had taken her time when on the visit. I would not hesitate to ask Terri to watch my cats again, should the need arise!”


“I ended up needing a short-notice, “panic” cat check-in option from Rover before a 10-day trip. Lillie responded and communicated promptly. Her response saved my trip, She did a pre-trip visit to check out my 5 fuzzies, then dealt well with them for several food and water refill and social interaction visits. When I need cat sitting services again, I will be going back to Lillie.”



About: Hi there! I’m located just 8 minutes from downtown Highlands, North Carolina, on a quiet 10-acre property nestled in the woods and along a pristine watershed. It’s the perfect setting for dogs who love to explore, sniff, and enjoy peaceful surroundings. I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, including our playful golden retriever puppy and five affectionate Sphynx cats. Whether your dog loves long walks, lounging in the sun, or playing fetch under a canopy of trees, they’ll feel right at home here. We offer a calm, loving environment with plenty of space to roam and a secure, covered porch for rest and relaxation. I work from home, so your dog will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate any feeding schedules or medication needs. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like one of our own! As someone who works from home, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m home all day, which means your dog will receive consistent attention, supervision, and affection. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or quiet cuddle sessions during the workday, I’m always nearby and tuned into your dog’s needs. Because I have the flexibility to manage my schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, medication schedules, or just extra one-on-one time when your pup needs a little extra love. It’s a calm, structured environment with lots of natural interaction throughout the day—perfect for dogs who enjoy companionship and routine. Hi there!

“Mikaela took care of our cat and kept a general watch of the plants and garden while we were out of town. She was very attentive and had great communication. Will definitely use Mikaela in the future.”


“Thank you for taking such excellent care of my two little babies. Brittany sent lots of pictures with updates through out my two kitties stay which eased my anxiety tremendously. I would highly highly recommend having her watch your pets!”


“Taylor was great with my two cats. She sent me pictures of them to show me how they were. They seemed happy and comfortable with her, and were content when we got back home. I definitely recommend her, and will leave my babies in her care again when we travel.”


“My boy had a great time with Yolanda! Very caring family who did an excellent time watching my dog. Thanks for the stay! We’ll definitely be back next time we need someone.”


“10/10.”


“Heather was Great! She was able to come over before the trip so I can show her exactly what we needed. While there she was great with communication and taking take of my fur baby. I will be using her again in up coming trips”


“This was the first time we had left Pip, our 12 year cat with anyone. We were nervous about how he would do having someone in his house. Could not have gone better. Dixie was great! Always sending updates, pictures and videos. Very obvious Pip was comfortable with her and glad to be in his own home. Will definitely schedule with Dixie again.”


About: I am passionate about taking proper care of your pets and looking out for their needs such as exercising them and of course, belly rubs! I am totally flexible. I do not have any sort of other job or responsibilities. However, I do ask for at least one week notice. I specialize in doing overnight stays in your home as I do not have any pets of my own. No husband no kids, no grandkids. So I am flexible to spend a lot of time with your pets while you are gone. If you prefer, I can board your dogs in my home. I have a fenced in yard and we exercise every morning on a walk or an outing in a peaceful,safe and quiet country setting. I never have more than 4-5 dogs at a time, so everyone gets lots of individualized attention.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as my background in training. I’ve raised a goldendoodle/poodle mix, Willa, from 8 weeks old, and she knows numerous tricks! I also have experience caring for an anxious senior chihuahua, Cassie, helping her become playful and trusting through patience and calm energy. I’m adaptable and can work with dogs of any energy level, from high-energy pups to more relaxed seniors, always tailoring care to their unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work online with a lot of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule to provide care whenever needed, whether it’s for short drop-in visits or long stays. Every pet is unique, so I make sure to listen carefully to each client's needs. I want to fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any quirks they might have. That way, I can make sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved in the way that feels most familiar and comfortable to them. I’m very adaptable—whether your pet is shy, energetic, elderly, or somewhere in between. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll need to be okay with two playful (and sometimes rowdy!) female doodles. My parrots, Ziggi (a blue quaker) and Dusty (an African grey), are kept in the basement, and depending on your dog’s preferences, they can be kept away from or near them. I have crates for both of my dogs, so I can create a calm, quiet environment if needed. If that sounds like too much stimulation, I totally get it—in that case, I’d recommend housesitting or drop-in visits so I can create the most peaceful setting for your pet.

“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”


“Ashley was amazing! I love the convince of the pick up and drop off!”

About: While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! My family has raised boxer puppies for 20+ years and small breeds for 10+. So I have worked with all sizes and ages, from bottle feeding newborn puppies to taking care of elderly dogs and I love every minute of it! I have 4 dogs, 4 rabbits, 2 sugar gliders a cat, and a duck, and all 12 of them are very spoiled furbabies! So if you have any “exotic” animals that need to be checked on while I’m around that won’t be a problem! I spend every minute I have with my furbabies and look forward to being able to spoil yours as well! While your dog is in my care I will love them like my own. I love being outdoors so hiking and dog parks are part of my daily routine. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies!

“Laura did a fantastic job making sure our kitties were well taken care of. Hands down a terrific experience!”


About: I've raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I'm familiar with them at all stages, ages, and sizes with basic or special needs (medication, extra snuggles, house rules, etc.). I'm also skilled with caring and training pups! My current dog, Duck, was raised and trained using Zac George's inside-out training which enforces positive behavior and builds a strong relationship with your pup. Duck has also experienced some long-term healthcare needs and emergencies, all of which were handled with absolute care, precision, and peace to cause less stress on him. I'm familiar with medication regimens and adapting to an animal's needs. As for cats, I have two of my own that I love dearly! I'm here to provide any care they need as well including snuggles, treats, and playtime. **NOTE OF AVAILABILITY** I'm available all day Sunday-Tuesday for pet care. On Wednesday and Thursdays, I'm unavailable 12:15 - 6:15 due to work, and again I'm unavailable on Fridays 11:15 - 5:15 due to work. I can check in on your pets or walk them anytime before or after! As the owner of a rambunctious pup, I understand the value of rules! If visiting or staying in your home, I'll obey all house rules for myself and your pet. I clean up after myself and your pup as well as crate them, treat them, or whatever else they need.

Kathrine B.Star Sitter
“We live and breathe our beautiful Lhasa poo, Baxter. He’s a huge part of our world! We try to take him everywhere with us, but when we travel internationally, he has to stay home. It’s just too hard on his little body. This is when it is such a luxurious comfort having Kathrine as a part of our family. Her nurturing way with our boy, makes the traveling time pass seamlessly for my husband and I, and for Baxter. Kathrine also sends me daily photos of Baxter while we're away, which I really appreciate! I highly recommend Kathrine as a pet-sitter, although I do worry she won’t be as available for Baxter… I’ll just have to plan my trips way in advance!”


Hannah C.
“Hannah is great with dogs! She is patient and calm, and takes the time to put each dog at ease. In addition, she is reliable and has good judgment. She’s my first choice to care for my dogs.”

Anna M.
“We have two cats and one dog, who has very specific medical needs. He is a handful, and very energetic and strong, but Anna took great care of him, kept him happy and healthy, and was able to administer the medicine he needed each day. Anna is very patient, loving, and kind. She even taught our dog some new tricks! I would highly recommend Anna for any pet sitting needs, and I know she'll be watching our animals again in the future.”
