1. Grey W.

“We loved having Grey housesit! We have border collie mixes and although they’re older they like to go out to play frisbee and sniff around at least once a day. Usually 20 minutes is enough and Grey was dedicated in finding the time despite some inclement weather. We received a ton of pictures and Grey was very communicative regarding the girls and our cat, Mordecai’s spirits. He was very accommodating regarding packages, thoughtful about our neighbors, and we came home to sweet smelling puppies and a clean house. An absolute pleasure! Would highly recommend and will be looking to book him on our next trip out of town (:”

“I was pleased with Lillie's ability to take care of my Goldendoodle for a week while I was away on vacay. She was dependable, kind, and attentive to all of his needs. I would recommend her!!!”


3. Brinkley F.

“Brinkley was such a great sitter to our dogs and cat! She was very kind, communicative, and sent us pictures while we were away. We knew our pets were in good hands, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”


4. Kary M.

“Kary did a wonderful job with our Border Collie, Raven and cat, Rey. Our dog is very touchy and does not respond well to other people. Katy seemed to be very successful with getting her to potty, and I believe Raven was nice. We were so happy this worked out. Kary also left a very detailed note about her house sitting in our home. I loved the note about how everything worked out while she stayed in our home. Kary showed up on time, provided numerous potty breaks, food schedule was documented. I would recommend Kary to everyone. We also loved the pictures, information about how she cleaned everything prior to her leaving. Our fur babies were well taken care of during her stay in our home.”


5. Dixie B.

“Dixie was wonderful! We were able to rest easy while travelling, knowing that our dog was in such good hands. If you're looking for a sitter in the area, your search is now over because you have found the best!”




6. Pamela M.

“Pamela is GREAT!! She gets a 10 star! We recently moved to Lake Las Vegas...and finding someone we completed trusted to care for our fur babies while we were away wasn't easy ...until we found Pamela. We have a 13 year old 16 pound dachshund ...and an 18 month old 90 pound Cream Golden Retriever ....both at a very different time of life with very different needs. Pamela did a great job caring to each of their needs...while cuddling, taking them for walks and playing ball (at a moments notice when puppy says lets play). We left for 6 days at Christmas...and we knew our boys were in great hands. Pamela treats them like they are her own...sends updates and photos throughout the day... and its obvious...she loves her time with these 'almost' humans. AND...happy to say ...we met a wonderful new friend too!!! Thank you Pamela and Rover......”


7. Migdalia R.
About: I have take care of dogs of varying size and breed. My friends and family have always been able to rely on me to walk, feed, and bath their dogs when they are out. As a college student, I help out with my friends' pets with play and care. When I am home for breaks and holidays, I am the main caretaker of my dog Luna. She goes for occasional walks, gets baths, and is taken care of on a consistent schedule. At home, I have a fenced yard and a lovely dog to keep yours company. I also have crates if needed and snacks for the dogs. There are toys and such to play with as well!


8. Leandra C.

“Dekes was so well cared for and Leandra communicated daily how he was doing making my travel stress free- thanks Leandra we will see you in the Spring!”


9. Erin R.
“Erin is an excellent choice for a pet sitter. This is because of not only her babysitting skills but for her experience as an educator. She understands how to work with the pet’s needs and wants as well as listens to the owners’ instructions and thoughts.”


10. Lydia I.

“Lydia was amazing, but I am now worried that my dogs like her better than me. She took them for runs and even cooked some of their meals, without needing to be prompted to go the extra mile. Anytime I need services, Lydia is my first choice. Thanks again so much!”


11. Tia P.
“Tia is the ideal pet sitter. She treats every animal she meets as if it were her own baby. She has a true passion for animals that is hard to come by. Not only will she keep your babies safe and fed, she'll play with them, snuggle in the bed with them, and send you updates to put your mind at ease. They will receive so much love and attention that they may forget you're gone!”


12. Nicole C.

“Nicole was great! She watched our 6 animals for a week with no problems whatsoever. She sent us updates via text and included pictures of our babies. We have never used a pet sitter before much less someone we hadn’t known previously and we were nervous. Would highly recommend Nicole and will be using her again in the future.”


13. Alina K.
About: My name is Alina and I would like to take care of your beloved pet. I am willing to do many things if needed without question. This means drop-in sitting, home stays, and dog walking. I will try my best to accommodate all of your specific needs for each pet. The people that I have pet sat for have say that I am great at my job. My prices are very reasonable. I am very reasonable when it comes to money and the time of the appointments. I am also honest and trustworthy. If you need anything like this, do not hesitate to contact me thru text, call, or email. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets for you when you need it. ATTENTION: I charge a $20 fee if your home is more than 35 mins from Sylva, NC. Pet care fits into my daily and/or weekly routine quite easily because due to me being on and off jobs which are mainly at night. I care for pets in your home by following all the instructions you give especially when it comes to going outside, with a leash or whatever the client prefers me to use.


14. Sarah S.

“Highly recommend! Prompt, caring, was great with Lucy and very reliable! We will use Sarah again!”


15. Nicholas V.
About: Hello, my name is Nick. I am just starting out on rover so I have very low prices currently so I can get established and build a good reputation through good reviews!! I have many years of experience taking care of pets. Currently I have a dog named Stewy, he is an Australian Shepherd and Husky mix. He loves socializing with other dogs. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I enjoy getting to meet and interact with new dogs and your dog will be in great hands! Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routines. I have my own dog who loves socializing with other pups and I also volunteer at a local shelter. I already spend much time everyday taking care of my dog and will provide the same level of care to your pet as I would mine! I have a large yard, access to a dog park, and another dog who loves to socialize with other dogs. He is very sweet and playful and is not aggressive whatsoever!




16. Amanda G.

“Really appreciate Amanda staying with out boys while we took a short little vacation. She took them for a swim in the river by our house and it's obvious that they were well taken care of while we were gone. She also sent us pics of them enjoying themselves while we were gone. It was also clear that she also took the time to straighten up the house and vacuum before we got back. Would highly recommend her and will definitely look to her again for our next trip.”


17. Gabrielle I.
“Gabrielle is a responsible caring person especially when it comes to pets. Pets make her the happiest in the world and she will do anything for pets. She plans on opening a Doggy Day Care one day that’s how much she loves pets. She takes care of my dog when I need her too. My dog loves Gabrielle so much because of how caring she is.”


18. Abby D.
“Abby is such a sweet and caring individual. She does a great job taking care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I would give her 5 stars!”


19. Lauren N.
About: I have had my own pets for 15 years and have been caring for other’s pets for around 5. I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I have also helped care for horses, fish, reptiles, and rodents! I love animals and want to help your furry friends feel safe and loved while you are away! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor from 7-5 three days a week. However, I am more than free for drop in visits to let animals out to use the restroom or have some companionship during my lunch break from 12-1 those days. I am fully free weekends, Mondays, and Wednesdays to give your pets all the car the may need throughout the day. In my home I currently have one senior dog and one senior cat. They both keep to themselves when I am pet sitting in my own home, but my dog is more than happy to play if another animal wants to. My yard is large, but not fenced in, but I take dogs out on a leash. In my home I allow animals on the furniture, but with owner request that can be changed. In other’s homes I do as requested, making sure to leave a clean and happy environment for both your pet and you when you return!

“Riley has taken excellent care of my pets for years, long before Rover. She's extremely dependable, treats others' pets with the same degree of loving care she gives her own and pets naturally gravitate towards her.”
