House Sitting in Highlands

“My girls had a fantastic time with Dixie! From the first communication, Dixie was spectacular. She was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and made me feel very at ease leaving my house and dogs in her care. She provided pictures and videos all throughout her time with my girls. I never had to wonder how they were doing. I have one that is needing special attention and she provided great care for her. She left my house in perfect condition, even changed my sheets and towels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.”

“Pamela quickly became like part of the family. Elliott was so excited to see her each day. She gave him plenty of entertainment, and was attentive and appropriate in her care. We were able to leave Elliott with her with perfect peace of mind knowing he was in competent and caring hands.”

“Lillie was great! Communicated often and send photos as well. Left the house spotless! Milo ate the kitchen mat (for the SECOND TIME) and Lillie offered to reimburse us. Of course we said absolutely not- Milo gets mad when people he likes leaves the house. All in all a great experience! Definitely recommend!”

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!

“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!”

“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!”

About: I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I have the free time, I grew up with dogs, and enjoy watching my friend's pets so I figured I would try this out for the summer! I am looking for a post grad job right now so I have a lot of free time. Your dog would be my number one priority. I keep a checklist on my phone of what and when to feed the dogs and try to get a least a mile in on walks.

“Gabby was responsive during our weekend away and provided great care for our dogs. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: A medium dog mommy almost my whole life. If your dog ain't happy, you're not happy, so I will deliver hugs and pets when you want to but can't. I am fit and can take brisk walks, heat not withstanding. I am conscientious, timely, and will work hard to over deliver on your expectations! We have a dog, cat, and ball python. Walks and check-ins are just the start. Need to coordinate something extra once we know each other? Just ask. Looking forward to meeting you and your bff! I enjoy meeting new people and pets and helping both out. I'll treat your animals just as they are my very own, so you'll have no worries while you're away. Your instructions will be reviewed prior to departure and what is agreed upon will be followed to the letter. I want everyone to be comfortable with their own routine and environments.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and have had a wide variety of pets. I am comfortable taking care of senior pets puppies and ones that require special needs. I have a flexible lifestyle and flexible scheduling and can provide the needed time to care for your pet and will provide updates on a consistent basis. I have a large yard and will keep pets on leash if required but I am located in a rural area a good distance from any major road.

“Martin and his fiancé were very friendly, sent us lots of pics, and kept our babies very happy while we attended the Clemson game.”

“Our experience with Mary as our dog sitter was first rate. She took excellent care of our Havanese, Gucci. She stayed at our home overnight and she was exceptional. She is very kind, trustworthy and our dog didn’t even realize we were away due to Mary’s sweet demeanor with her. We will call on Mary again when the need arises. We highly recommend her without hesitation.”

About: I currently work as a kennel tech full time, so I have daily experience with cats and dogs! I can sit for baby animals and administer medicines for any who may need it. I have been pet sitting for nearly 10 years now, and I am a life-long lover of animals and cat mom. I am leaving for a summer in South Korea very soon, through my university. It would mean a lot to me if you would help me on that journey. I am currently working full-time as a kennel tech! My schedule varies from week to week, but most days I am free before 8a and after 5p. This can vary depending on the service; I do not take other animals into my home as I have two shy cats. However, I am more than capable of cleaning litter boxes, feeding, and playing.

About: I’m a warm, reliable pet lover with over 10 years of professional dog training experience, and I bring that same calm, confident approach to every pet I care for. While I’m not offering training on Rover, my background helps me understand behavior and body language, so I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and at ease. I meet each pet’s unique personality with patience and kindness, whether they’re shy, playful, senior, or simply set in their routines. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can relax and feel secure while you’re away. You can count on me for gentle handling, thoughtful attention, and clear communication—so you always know your pet is receiving knowledgeable, compassionate care. I am not currently working a full-time "normal" job, so my schedule is pretty open. My preference is to do daily walks while you are at work, etc., but we can discuss overnight care options for house sitting and overnight pet care. I love to play with pets at their energy level. Run around like crazy? I'm up for it! Play a little tug? No problem! A little stroll around the neighborhood? Yep! Sit & chill & get scratches? Absolutely! I just love interacting with all kinds of pets and giving them the attention and care they deserve.

“Ginger is by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! From the moment we met her, we knew that our furry kids would be very well cared for. Both of our dogs really love her. For the very first time, we can go out of town and not worry a bit about our pets. What a relief! Ginger kept in close contact with us and sent pictures frequently. She stayed in our home and left it in immaculate condition. I highly recommend giving Ginger a try. You'll be very glad you did!!”

“Jesse is great with our 3 dogs. We have an older dog who he's even had to carry up and down stairs. He's had great communication with us and left the house clean and the dogs are very happy!”

Whether I stay at your place or they stay with me it’s a great soothing environment.

“Ty did great with our pups!! We have one sassy but sweet schnauzer and a shy cuddle bug of an aussie and he did great with both of them! We came home to a clean house and he watched the dogs closely, sending us updates and keeping in great communication as the weekend went along. We will definitely be booking with Ty again!”

“Kelly did an amazing job watching my pup while we were out of town. It was a last minute request and she was so accommodating. Our pup loved her too and she even administered her medication like a champ. Will definitely use again!”
