Saving Grace for my cats. During the snow storm she made sure the cats were fed and comfortable and safe. I can't express how grateful I was and am for Jesse. I knew what was happening at all times which eased my worry so much. She always communicates fully. Even my cautious cat loves her. You can tell without a doubt she operates with care and love. She is an absolute gem.

Carolyn is very obviously an animal lover! I had no problems or worries for my cat (and hamster) while I was away. She is kind and bighearted but also very diligent and went over and beyond to come and return my key safely once I was back. Highly recommend. :)

Through the snow storm! Noone else could make it. Not sure how she made that happen, I think she put the truck in 4wd and went 5mph. The roads werent plowed. She saved the day for those cats. They had no other meal that day. They had food in their belly because she made sure of it. I am so grateful for her.

About: With a lifetime of experience in caring for and fostering pets and 6 years of professional experience in pet care, I can be there to love your furry family whenever you can’t. I am highly experienced with taking care of senior dogs and cats, very patient with puppies and kittens, and highly attentive to any needs your pet may have. I currently run an apothecary and crafts business from home with my girlfriend, and spend 1-2 nights a week playing music with friends. I am home most of the time and can spend most of the day caring for animals, I currently have a senior cat who requires lots of attention so cuddles are always available. I prioritize safety and trust in any environment I’m in for taking care of your pets. In clients houses, I stick to the pets schedule best I can to keep them stress free. I keep my own home pet proofed and always prioritize a clean and calming environment. I am always available to supervise your pets and love to nourish them with as much play time and walks as they need. I have a local dog park in the community, as well as a dog park with a lake nearby that dogs may swim in during the summer, which I love to bring them to. I also have a secure cat stroller for any adventurous cats who can easily be scared outdoors by dogs or other animals, which I love to take them for short walks in as long as they are comfortable.

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 have had pets my entire life and grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and even sometimes quail! I am currently a full-time mom of 1 human child and 3 of the four legged variety. I have cared for a variety of different dog breeds and temperament's. I’m very active and would love to get your dogs outside on walks, runs, or hikes. I have always treated our animals like part of the family and I will treat your pet with the same love, respect, and kindness that I give to my own. My rates reflect quality - but affordable - pet care. I send a lot of picture updates throughout the day in order to set your mind at ease - I know how hard it can be to leave your pet while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule since I am a stay at home mom! Just let me know your current needs and I can likely accommodate most schedules. I am currently not boarding or watching pets in my home, but I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable in their own space. I offer to do long dog walks and play-time so that they go home tired at the end of the day!

About: Hello! I'm a passionate animal lover, and I'd be delighted to care for your beloved pets while you're away, whether it's for a weekend, a vacation, or regular visits throughout the year. I'm a kind, patient, and dependable person who understands how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I share my home with a cat and have experience caring for dogs including a Swiss Mountain Dog and a Belgian Malinois, as well as farm animals. In addition to feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, I'm happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. If needed, I can also bring in your mail and water your plants during my visits. Before moving to the United States a little over a year ago, I earned a French certification in companion animal care (dogs and cats), which strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior and responsible care. Every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's needs. Stephanie. I'm available most of the week, as well as on weekends and during school breaks, to take care of your pets. We can discuss our respective schedules in more detail. I can't currently keep a dog at home, but I can take care of your cat at my home :) I'd be happy to come by to visit your dogs and/or cats and take care of all their needs (food, fresh water, playtime, walks, cuddles, etc.).

Carrie G. did an outstanding job of caring for Oreo & Callie! She was patient & kind as they can be skiddish with people they don’t know, especially Callie. Callie actually came out from hiding & let Carrie pet her which is amazing in itself. I will be calling on Carrie G. the next time I need a pet sitter for my cats without a doubt! She is a wonderful person!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lake Junaluska

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Junaluska on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,043 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Junaluska. 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 Lake Junaluska 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Junaluska. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
