“Johnny is a fantastic pet and housesitter! He’s communicative, responsive, trustworthy, respectful of my preferences, and sends tons of photos and videos. My cats love Johnny!”
“Kathryn is lovely. Our kitties responded well to her calm demeanor- even our most shy little cat would sometimes venture out to see her when she did her check-ins. We enjoyed getting photo updates from her each day. She is reliable and friendly- we were very pleased to find her on Rover!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my well-rounded experience and genuine love for animals of all ages. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—whether that’s playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet company. I’ve also had experience with basic training, helping puppies learn good habits early on. I treat every pet like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As a student-athlete at Montreat College, my schedule is busy but structured, which helps me stay organized and make time for what I love—caring for pets. Taking care of animals is actually a fun and relaxing getaway from the demands of school and sports. I already care for my own Maltipoo and cat, so it’s second nature to fit walks, playtime, and feedings into my day. It’s something I look forward to and take seriously, always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine closely—sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I respect the space and make sure everything is clean and secure. If pets stay with me, they’ll have a cozy spot to relax, plenty of attention, and time outside for walks and play. I focus on keeping things calm and consistent so your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away.
“Giselle was wonderful with the pups and took extra special care of our 13yr dog who had mobility issues and needs medications multiple times per day. We would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!!!”
“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”
“Tanya is extremely professional, has a great memory, very reliable, and is super patient with new animals. She watched our three cats while we were out of town for the week and gave them some company. On first meeting her, she asked great questions regarding personality types and general instructions, and talked us through her soft approach to meeting our animals. She assured us that she’d devote her whole reserved time to sitting with them and letting them get to know her presence. Her notes were thorough and reassuring. We were very happy with her and even our shy cats liked her and allowed her pets. Would highly recommend.”
“Maysen was a great choice! Arrived on time , takes care of the pups like her own. Did everything needed to put my mind at ease . Lots of updates throughout the day . I would highly suggest giving Maysen your business!”
About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.
About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.
“Highly recommend Kayla! She was super responsive and sent me many pictures during her time with my 2 cats. I will definitely be using her again in the future. Super sweet and personable!”
About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there
“Natalie was very caring and attentive to my three cats. She is professional by always giving a detailed report card and lots of pet photos. Natalie alleviated the worry of leaving my cats. They were well cared for. I highly recommend using Natalie to care for your pets.”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
“Suzanne did the most amazing job with our beloved family member Terra. Prior to a long house sitting job Suzanne agreed to several drop in visits so that Terra recognized her. She kept her company, cared for her and got to know her so well! Our communication was excellent and that helped me be able to enjoy my vacation. It is such a tremendous gift. Thank you so much Suzanne!”
About: I grew up volunteering and working at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, which sparked my passion for animals at a young age. I have experience with exotics like snakes, birds, turtles and salamanders. My mom is a licensed rehabilitator, and I gained valuable knowledge assisting her with rehabilitating birds and baby opossums. I personally have a horse, two adorable dogs, and a cat. I also have a flock of chickens! I have experience as a service dog handler and am able to administer maintenance medications to animals if needed. I have over a year of medical experience working as an Equine Veterinary Assistant as well! Taking care of animals is part of my daily routine. I am working part-time and have time when I am not working to do pet care. I understand the importance of providing animals with the attention and care that they need. Whether it is a leashed walk or supervised play in a fenced yard for a dog. Or brushing and spending time with a cat I always ensure safety first!

“I cannot say enough good things about Tyler! I have a large, energetic dog who loves to pull and can be a real handful on walks. I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence. He’s strong, calm, and clearly experienced—my dog actually came back tired, which never happens! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Tyler also kept me updated with photos and little check-ins which I really appreciated. Will definitely book him again!”

She is detailed, professional, and loving with all animals. She is very responsible and dedicated to the care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Anyone would be very lucky to have her care for their animals. Carly is one of the sweetest, kindest people I know. Her vast knowledge and experience with animals was very important to me.
