House Sitting in Dunns Rock

About: I’ve been a veterinarian for 5 years, driven by a love of animals! I grew up with and have always shared my life had dogs. Sadly, my dog passed away some months and I’m really missing the company. I am new to Brevard and would love to explore the beautiful scenery with your dog! I’m currently between jobs and very flexible with hours and days of the week so I can adapt to you and your dog’s needs and normal routine. As a veterinarian I am very comfortable with all breeds and ages of dogs, as well as with those that may need special care. As a former user of Rover for pet sitting myself, I fully appreciate and understand how hard it is to leave them for hours and find someone you can trust with them as well as your home.

“Monique was everything we hoped for in our first experience with Rover. She is a great communicator and kept us updated while we were away for several nights. Our house was neat and clean when we got home. Monique, and her sweet daughter, were an absolute delight to work with and we look forward to our next trip with confidence in her abilities. A BIG thank you, Monique!”

“Maria was so sweet to my fur babies! Hellboy is aptly names and even he warmed up to her! She was thoughtful and a great communicator. My place was a wreck due to moving out of state in a few days from the trip, packing boxes, and broken oven from the night before - she sailed through it without a pause. Total trooper! I recommend her without hesitation!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life. Several have been rescued as strays. I can care for an animal at any stage of life. I’m happy to walk dogs and snuggle cats. I am a homeschool mom and have plenty of time to give your animals the love they need. I can do weekday walks and daily check ins. Over night stays are possible as well. I can come to your house and meet any needs your animals have. I can walk your dogs, snuggle your cats or just keep your animals company.

“Stacey was friendly, kind, and totally dependable! She arrived early and was wonder in watching our two dogs. Would definitely recommend.”

“Adlai saved us LAST MINUTE! We had a last minute change to our out-of-town plans and were left without options for our fur babies for a weekend away. Adlai was able to accommodate our needs to stay in our home - sight unseen - and saved us from having to change our plans all together. She was so understanding and pleasant, and fell right into the dogs' routines without missing a beat. The dogs and house were in perfect order when we returned. We absolutely will call on her again in the near future. Thank you!”

“Ginger is very tidy, responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away from my senior dogs. I loved her photos and communication was great! I will definitely reach out to Ginger first for my next trip.”

About: I have not only been professionally pet sitting for one year, but I have been a lifetime pet owner. I specialize in exotic pets such as rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I have been a cat owner for 13 years and I am very familiar with German Shepherds. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique. I am currently a full-time student and I work a part-time job. I am available Friday - Sunday, and certain times on weekdays, except for Tuesday. Please reach out for more specific scheduling. I will always ensure that front and back doors, fences, and yard gates are closed/secure at all times so your pet does not escape. If your pet is required to stay in a crate, I will always make sure the crate is clean and secure. Dogs will always wear a harness with a leash to ensure extra safety.

About: Caring for animals is something that runs in my family both my mother and my aunt are deeply involved in various rescues including but not limited to puppers, cats, even spiders of all shapes and sizes. We treat our fur babies like one of us and they are definitely part of the family. We will spend lots of time together walking through open fields and woods playing fetch if they are into those kinds of things I’m also ok with just sitting and sun bathing, we go fishing if the weather is nice. They will never have to worry about being alone or being forgotten or scared because I will be there any time they need. Lap dogs and cuddle buddies are always welcome !!

“I can’t say enough great things about our pet sitter, Trey! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took the time to get to know our pets’ routines, personalities, and special needs, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away, we received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how happy and comfortable our pets were. It made such a difference knowing they were being cared for with so much love and attention. Our home was also well taken care of, and everything was just as we left it. Most importantly, our pets absolutely adore him—which says everything. We came home to relaxed, happy animals, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would highly recommend Trey to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring pet sitter!”

“Darby is fantastic. She truly made our Mishka feel happy and loved. Its so important to see our dogs demeanor after time away and Mishka always looks content and well taken care of. Thank you Darby!”

About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”

“Chloe was so great. She put our mind at ease while we were gone for the weekend. She followed our instructions perfectly and our house was exactly as we left it. Our dog was well taken care of. We will be booking her again in the future.”

“Giuliana was very professional and upfront about questions and requirements. My dogs and home were very well cared for. Giuliana provided regular updates and pictures to keep us connected during the week.”

“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”

Victoria E.

“Emily was great with our dog Beau! I am always nervous having a new sitter stay with him since he’s a senior pup with some special quirks/routine/meds but Emily did a great job and even spoiled him with several walks. The regular photos and updates helped ease my anxiety and he was so happy and calm when we returned.”

Melissa D.

“Justin is a great sitter. Communicated well and took care of our pups while we were traveling.”

Marybeth W.

“Gabe took great care of our dogs while we were gone. He gave us lots of updates which was very appreciated! We knew they were well taken care of”

About: I’ve had at least one pet in my life since I was born. Mostly cats, we had 7 cats at one point, we now have 5. We used to have 2 dogs, but unfortunately one named Brownie passed recently after a very long fight with heart worms. I’m used to all kinds pets with different personalities, ages, sizes and medical issues. One of our cats Campbell lived to be 20 years old. We fostered one cat who was blind in one eye, and another we adopted was an older cat that was both blind and deaf. Awhile ago one of our cat Penny ended up very sick and we had to give her 2 shots a day and multiple medications, she is now a healthy and happy kitty. I have also dog sat for my sisters 2 cane corsos more times than I can count, so I am comfortable around big dogs. I am currently working part time, but I am going to have to end my job there soon due to it being too laborious on my scoliosis and am planning to dedicate my time to taking care of your fuzzy family instead. I eventually will be doing Rover full time, but for now I will only be available on Thursdays and fridays. In my home, we take our dog on walks 2-3 times a day, always on leash. We also clean our litter boxes at least once a day, and we have multiple litter boxes around our house. We have 2 set meal times with our animals that consist of mostly wet food for a healthy diet and some dry food to help clean their teeth (also any medicine they need). They also have ‘treat time’ every night before bed where we throw treats around the house for them to chase. All of our animals have been fixed, has their shots and is given flea and tick medicine. We also have tons of different toys for all our babies, any with string or feathers is put away when not in use, and is only used with supervision. We also keep our house as clean as possible since our dog (even though he has like 100 toys lol) likes to get into things and chew them, so we are very conscious about that.
