House Sitting in Lake Toxaway

“Darby and MK are an absolute delight. My Mishka is happy, well fed, loved and enjoyed tons of walks!! My house is better than when i left it! I really appreciate the communication and pictures. I 100% recommend them for all your pet needs.”

“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”

“Monique was everything we hoped for in our first experience with Rover. She is a great communicator and kept us updated while we were away for several nights. Our house was neat and clean when we got home. Monique, and her sweet daughter, were an absolute delight to work with and we look forward to our next trip with confidence in her abilities. A BIG thank you, Monique!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life. Several have been rescued as strays. I can care for an animal at any stage of life. I’m happy to walk dogs and snuggle cats. I am a homeschool mom and have plenty of time to give your animals the love they need. I can do weekday walks and daily check ins. Over night stays are possible as well. I can come to your house and meet any needs your animals have. I can walk your dogs, snuggle your cats or just keep your animals company.

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

“Our experience with Constance was one of the best we had with Rover! Our dog is very nervous around new people. Our dog was particularly scared this time, we are unsure why. But Constance was extremely kind and patience with our dog. Our dog came around fast and was fast friends with Constance after all. She went above and beyond!”

“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”

“Susanna was wonderful! Returned home to a happy pup! She is a true animal lover, I felt confident leaving her with my fur baby. Would definitely recommend!”

“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!!”

“Stacie is fantastic! She house sat our two young large energetic dogs with ease. She is a good communicator, responding quickly and also sending updates and photos. I recommend Stacie with no reservation and will be reaching out to her for all my future house-sitting needs.”

“Lynsey did a great job! So happy was able to leave for the beach and not worry about anything. She was great with communication and with sending pictures. I would happily book Lynsey again!”

About: I always have loved pets! When I was growing up everyone around me wanted me to walk/care/ or watch their dog / pet Because they knew I would exceed their needs and more! I am also a mom of two under two so besides pets I also love kids! And all of my pets are kid and pet friendly:)! Thanks for looking at my page! Hope to see you and your furry pal soon :) I’m a very flexible individual! And I am always willing to adjust anything to fit your furry friends daily routine! Im always willing to go out of my way for any pet! :) I’m also a stay at home mom so my schedule is basically open anytime because I’m always home and available! I don’t have a fenced back yard, but I’m always monitoring any pets that are outside on leash. and it’s a very moderate household. We are usually doing something outdoorsy or going on some fun adventure! And we will always exceed your pets needs and adjust our household to just that while your pet stays. :)

About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

“Riley is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have found her. We use her often, and every single time she takes such wonderful care of our dog, Mika. It’s clear how much Riley genuinely cares—Mika is always happy, comfortable, and well loved when we return. Her communication is great and she gives us total peace of mind knowing Mika is in the best hands. We couldn’t recommend Riley more highly and will continue to book her every time we need a sitter!”

Emily R.

“Celeste was great! She took wonderful care of our reactive-to-animals dog. We’d definitely book her again.”

Rachel S.

“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”

About: I offer calm, reliable care for both dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with energetic pets who benefit from structured exercise and enrichment, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, patience, and gentle support. I’m also comfortable supporting anxious pets and maintaining familiar routines while their owners are away. I can administer basic medications, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain consistency with feeding, walks, litter care, and enrichment. I also have experience house sitting in a variety of homes and am comfortable maintaining discretion, care, and respect in each space as if it were my own. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and communication—I provide consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used Rover myself, I understand the importance of reliability, clear communication, and thoughtful photo updates in creating peace of mind while you’re traveling. I offer full availability throughout the week for pet care, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care for each booking. I can accommodate a wide range of routines and needs and prioritize reliability and clear communication for every stay. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I prioritize maintaining each pet’s familiar routine and environment to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and household guidelines. I approach each home with respect and care and ensure the space is left clean, organized, and well-maintained. I’m mindful of safety at all times, including secure leash handling on walks, careful attention to doors and entry points, and ongoing awareness of each pet’s behavior and needs. My goal is to provide a calm, consistent presence so pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment while owners are away.

About: I have years of pet sitting experience, care for my own dogs, and work at Mountain Dog Spa, gaining hands-on experience with all types of pets. I currently work full time in Cashiers, NC but am transitioning to part time. I can provide midday drop-ins and stay with pets when available. I provide care only in the client’s home, including overnight stays and daytime care, keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment always.

“Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.”
