Dog Sitting in Hickory

“Luca is absolutely the BEST! Very patient, super quick to respond, and has helped me tremendously this week. I would literally not know what to do without the support!”

“This was our first time using Rover. So we weren’t sure of so much of the process and how to find the “right” person. Jemma was so kind and patient with us and our animals. Her task was to care for five fur babies, two older dogs and three cats, one of which is 17 years old. Which let’s admit, is a lot for one person. She took time to come meet us all and my dogs who are very quirky and set in their ways, immediately were at ease with her. She didn’t hesitate for a second. She developed a great rapport with us and our animals. Most importantly, while we were away, she did a great job caring for everyone and communicated constantly with us. She kept everyone’s routine which meant everyone was comfortable and happy while we were away. We will continue to ask Jemma to help us care for our babies in the future. We are grateful to have found Jemma. She is awesome.”

About: I have three years of experience providing loving and reliable dog sitting, caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve fostered puppies through the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with young dogs and their unique care requirements. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and those needing medication, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine by balancing my schedule to ensure each dog receives the attention and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I prioritize each pet’s routine. I plan my week around their needs, making time for feedings, medications, playtime, and any special care required. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication according to their specific needs. I also offer companionship, keeping pets engaged and reassured while their owners are away. Additionally, I respect my clients' homes by keeping spaces clean and following any special instructions to ensure a seamless experience for both pets and owners.

About: I’ve grown up fostering and owning all sort of animals! From bottle feeding puppies to raising abandoned birds, I’ve done it. I’ve been known to bond with animals who have been considered “grumpy” or “solitary”, too. I have experience taking care of a wide range of animals as well and look forward to taking care of yours! My schedule is wide open so fitting pet care in will be my top priority whether you want me to come to you or if you want to leave your pet in my care. I do daily walks and dog park runs with my pup and would be happy to do the same with yours! My home is open concept with plenty of room to play and I have a large couch if that’s more your pets speed. I am highly detail oriented so if I’m visiting your pet at home, I’ll make sure they get exactly the care you’re looking for. You’ll also receive lots of pictures when your pet is in my care!

About: Born into a dog-loving family, Breanna has been surrounded by canine companions since childhood. Now, with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs, she has carved out a reputation as a dedicated and attentive pet sitter. Breanna's first Rover booking in November 2023 marked the start of her professional pet-sitting journey, and she has since welcomed repeat clients, including her own mother's dogs. As a proud dog owner herself, Breanna brings a unique understanding and passion to her house-sitting services, ensuring her four-legged charges receive the utmost care and attention. I'm currently helping my sister potty her two dogs once a day at noon mon-fir. So your babies are not being left alone only for a little bit. And they get my undivided attention they need I love working and spending time with your babies. I would make sure to always walk your baby on a Leash if there is no fenced in backyard or make sure gates are locked if you do and to make sure your baby is taken care of when you're away

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all sizes and breeds, including walking, bathing, feeding, and spending quality time with them. From a young age, I developed a strong love and respect for animals and really value the bond between pets and their people. In college and through work, friends and coworkers often trusted me to watch their dogs because I’m dependable and genuinely enjoy being around them. I live an active lifestyle, especially on weekends, and my apartment is right by the 4-mile Lyle Creek Trail, which is great for walks and exercise. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly enjoy being around them and love that pet sitting lets me experience all the best parts of having a dog—without them ever missing out on care, attention, or exercise. I work Monday–Friday with a very flexible schedule and live just 5 minutes from work, so I’m able to step away when needed for pet care. I’m available for boarding after 3 PM on Fridays, all day Saturday, and during the day on Sundays, with pickup by 7 PM Sunday evening. I’m also happy to help with dog pickup and drop-off when needed. On weekdays, I’m available before 8 AM and after 4:30 PM, and I can also accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day to ensure pets receive reliable, consistent care. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while sticking closely to their normal routines. If a dog is crate-trained or needs a crate for safety or comfort, I’m able to crate them as needed. I provide regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s energy level and needs. I’m also available for overnight stays, making sure pets are cared for throughout the night and maintain a consistent routine. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard since I live in an apartment, I make up for that with access to plenty of open space and nearby trails, which are great for exercise and walks. Safety is always my priority, and I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and well taken care of whether we’re inside or out.

“So amazing! This was my first time using rover and she put our mind at ease even sent pictures of our puppy on there walk!”

While I may not have years of professional pet-sitting experience, I've spent countless hours caring for pets of friends and family, always treating them as if they were my own. My dog, Jack, is my right-hand man, and in my home, pets are welcomed with love, comfort, and plenty of adventure. Whether it's lounging on the couch, snuggling in bed, or exploring the state park for walks and rides, your pet will be treated like family—because that's exactly what they are.

Whether it’s morning playtime, midday walks, or just extra cuddles throughout the day, I make sure every pet feels loved and important. Since I’m home most of the time, I can provide a consistent, comfortable environment where your pet gets the attention they deserve—just like I do with my own dog, Jack. From outdoor adventures to cozy downtime, their routine will feel natural, stress-free, and full of love. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I provide a secure and loving environment where your pet can feel at ease. If they’re staying with me, they’ll always be under my watch unless I need to step out briefly—during which they can either roam freely with my dog, Jack, or be safely crated based on your preference. I have plenty of experience with crate training and have a crate available if needed. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would in their own home.
