“Stefanie was wonderful with my older large dog I bless her heart. She had to carry her up and down into the motorhome and she did it without hesitation. She sent pictures and is very thorough. We would use her again for sure!”
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for more than 20 years. I’ve got 3 pups at home and I am available all the time. I’m new to the area and would enjoy getting some extra walks in. If you need dog walking or dog or cat visiting, feeding, schedule maintenance, I can help. I’m not currently working so I have loads of availability and flexibility. I am a morning person. I am new to the area so I have a lot of free time. I will care for others’ pets however they need me to care for them! I am accommodating to their established routines for optimal comfort for the pet when their person isn’t available.
“Belle was great with our cat and dog. The cat was constantly in hiding, but Belle always made sure to check on her. And the dog had a fun time hanging out during their indoor and outdoor play. Would definitely recommend Belle for drop in visits.”
About: I had my first puppy when I was 5 years old (40 years ago). In my home we had two dogs (Katy and Katiuska) they had more than 15 puppies and we had them all. When I left Venezuela (2017) I had 6 dogs in my house (I picked them all up from the street and gave them a lot of love!) I work half a day and I can take care of your pet, I can also play with your pet! Dogs are angels sent by God to show that you don't need to talk to show true Love! I have a puppy at home (someone gave it to me at work and I adopted it), he is very friendly and we spend our time playing at home and in the park
“Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.”
“This was my second time booking Terri to watch my cats. She did a fantastic job! She is thorough and I can tell she cares for them well. They warmed up to her more this time and she was actually able to send photos of both cats--no more hiding :) Terri will definitely be my go-to sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was able to walk. Household always had anywhere from 2-9 dogs at once ranging all age ranges from week old puppies and 16 year old cuddle bugs. Breeds range from small to extra large. Me and my wife currently have two Cane Corsos, a frenchton, and boston terrier beagle mix in the family. I am currently working part time and have plently of hours throughout the weekday and weekends where i can provide company, playtime, walks, or even house sitting. Schedules are most important for dogs to feel comfortable and less anxious. I would adhere my best to the owners timelines and Schedule to help make sure their fur babies stay as stress free as possible and living happy long lives!
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
“Sherri was great as usual & I'm not sure how Judy was booked Judy was mentioned as a backup if Sherri wasn't available. Never any contact from her til the Sunday evening before the 4 th. Please refund that booking Thanks.”
“Judy is great, highly recommend! One of our dogs doesn't kennel well and has to be medicated when she is there so we thought maybe a sitter instead. The best decision ever. The dogs loved her at the first meeting. Judy sent pictures, called us if she had questions and answered our call when we had questions.”
“She is the best I’ve ever seen and I recommend her to anyone. Now I know where to take Gil when we go to casino. I love visiting this town-Bryson City. It is great. If u want to get anyone to sit or keep ur dog Michelle and Robbie are the best. I feel safe my dog is happy and having a blast.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hiawassee on Rover is $26.14 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hiawassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hiawassee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
