Cat Sitting in Iron Duff

“Jesse was absolutely fantastic. She made sure everything was understood when we met and kept great contact with me while I was away. She was able to navigate a special request I had during the drop in. She definitely cares about animals, that comes through clearly and she is absolutely dependable.”

About: I’ve cared for animals in a wide range of environments, from farms on the Big Island of Hawaii to horses in Appalachia and North Florida. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, (including caring for more than 30 pets in the Asheville area in one summer alone!) I’m dependable, grounded, and comfortable working independently. As a mother currently studying social work, I value calm communication, consistency, and creating a safe, relaxed environment for both pets and homes. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I aim to provide attentive, trustworthy care that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m also happy to include plant watering and basic plant care during visits when needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m local to the Lake Junaluska and Waynesville area and have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer while school is out. I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, and companionship throughout the day. Because I live nearby, commuting is easy for me, which helps me stay reliable and responsive for clients. I enjoy creating calm, steady environments for animals and genuinely value the trust involved in caring for someone’s pets and home. I currently provide care in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in the environment they already know and trust. I understand how important consistency, routine, and familiarity are for animals while their owners are away. I aim to maintain a calm, clean, and dependable environment by carefully following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, communicative throughout each stay, and attentive to both pet safety and home security. My goal is always to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and emotionally at ease while giving owners peace of mind that their home and animals are in responsible hands!

“Autumn was so helpful in watching Millie last minute over the holidays. She was dependable and thorough with each drop in visit sending a picture and report card. Millie also loved her! We will definitely be using her again.”

“Lauren did an amazing job with our 3 cats! She came for a meet and greet beforehand and took time to meet each one individually. She followed all our instructions and provided prompt communication and updates regarding our kids. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Kaysee had great communication with me despite me being out of service most of the time. I was also able to add a day at the last minute. Thanks for looking out for Lucky so well.”

“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”

“Ashleigh is a kindred spirit around animals. She has a great sense of what the animal needs at different times. Her visit with Nico went well and it seems Nico likes her.”

About: I have a passion for animals. I worked in a pet store for over year, enjoying being able to help pet owners find what their pets need. It’s rewarding to be able to help pet parents and pets get relief. Animals are giving and loving and I enjoy them so much. I have nine guinea pigs myself (which won’t effect my availability:)) and they are the absolute light of my life. Your pets will get so much love and care with me as your sitter. I love all animals, and I am comfortable with most dog sizes. I grew up with small dogs, rodents, and lizards. I understand that dogs need time outside for relieving themselves as well as exercise and fresh air. Every other kind of pet is also just as amazing, and I’d love to love and care for them too! I will be spending all the time I have with your pet. I wake up early to take care of them and I come home immediately after work to spend the evening with your pet. My job starts early, so I will have most of the afternoon and all evening to spend with them. I spend as much time as possible with your pet. I work full time, but make it a priority to be consistent so your pet knows what to expect from me and feels safe.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life & since pet sitting is my only job, I’m home full time to give your pet constant attention & companionship Pet sitting naturally fits into my day-I am home caring for my “puppers”, so I’m always available to give your pet attention, activity & companionship! Since I’m home all day, your pet gets individual attention, walks, cat tree lounging out of a window & playtime with my cat friendly dog

“I'm confident my pet is in good hands with Rachel. Very thankful she could drop in and check on the pup.”

Jessie C.

“This was our first experience using Rover and it was perfect. Morgan was so nice and stopped by the day before our trip to meet the fluffs and learn their routine. We got photos and videos when she stopped by and was flexible with our schedule which we really appreciated. Thank you for picking up our last minute request on a holiday no less! We highly recommend Morgan.”

About: Since childhood I have taken care of our pet dogs. Tending to their needs and providing kindness to them is what I prioritize the most because I believe that is what animals need. I currently am available daily from 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday. I share a car with my mother, however, there is no conflict of schedule that cannot be worked between her and I. I am available for drop-in appointments as well as over-the-night. For personal pets I care for them according to a healthy schedule. I wake up early and so will my pets, and will feed my pets, refresh their water bowls, and let them out for a light stroll all within an hour of waking up. Throughout the day I check their water bowl-refresh it if needed- check their sleep space to make sure its clean, take them outside for short bits here and there, as well as play with them for at least 20 minutes so they can burn energy. The daily night routine is the same as the morning routine.

About: I have had animals my whole life, ranging from cats, dogs, others! I have had a pet sitting job since May 2025 for a lovely family, providing for their two dogs, one cat. I feed & water pets as owners demand, clean up pets messes and my own. Take dogs outside ranging from 4-5 times a day or as needed. I provide for pets in the comfort of your own home. Of course I play with pets all day! I would love to take care of your fur babies as my own! 💕 As of right now I do not have a day to day job, so i’m very flexible with my schedule. I can provide housesitting and pet sitting, while you are working, going out of town or just for you’re convenience! I only care for pets in the comfort of your own home, I have animals myself and I wouldn’t want to make you’re pets uncomfortable!

“Olivia did a great job with my two dogs. She was very caring and sweet to them and made sure to ask lots of questions about their routine. They warmed right up to her too!”

“Allison, we can't thank you enough for taking care of "Kat" during our two week cruise to Alaska. We were initially hesitant in booking through Rover not knowing what to expect or how the pet sitters were screened to begin with. We're so glad we did and even more thankful that Kat had you to check in on her daily while we were gone. The love you have for animals is evident and again, we are extremely grateful that we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about Kat. Oh, and anytime we got Internet service while in port, first thing we did was check out the "Rover Report." We got a kick out of them! For anyone reading this review, if you're looking for a pet caregiver that is reliable, caring and will love and spend time with your fur baby like her own, look no further and book with Allison. We will definitely be using her again! Erman & Roberta D.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and currently have 6. I’m a huge animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I would love to give your pets some love and care! I work as a Special Education teacher. Starting in June, I will have full time availability until August. I can do any day and any time. I have 2 friendly dogs as well as 4 friendly cats. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced in and love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood.

“I can't recommend Samantha enough. She came through on very short notice and took great care of my dog, Lyla. She's very easy-going and trustworthy. I felt good about my dog being in her care.”

Nadia E.

“Definitely recommend Jessica to watch and love your pups! I was nervous to let someone watch my pup but after meeting I knew she would take the best care of my pup!!! Will 100% use her again!”

Amber W.

“Debbie was fantastic. She took detailed notes to make sure she understood the needs of our dogs. They are older and need a little extra care so this was important to us. She sent us text updates and pictures to let us know how they were doing. It gave us piece of mind so that we were able to enjoy our trip without constant worry about our pups.”
