“Karen was wonderful with the cats and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them and our house while we were gone. It’s such a peace of mind to be able to go away on vacation knowing that everything is taken care of and Karen provided that comfort to us. Thanks again!”
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”
“Kim is wonderful! It's the first time I have left my pets with a hired in house pet sitter in a long time but felt very at ease with Kim. My dog is 15 years old and has good days and bad days so I wasn't sure how she would handle a pet sitter but she was well taken care of. I was sent many pics over the 5 days of my pets being comfortable and loved on. Will be hiring again for sure!”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful to work with!! I have a crazy schedule and she was so accommodating about scheduling a meet and greet. I’m always nervous to leave Amelia with a stranger but with Stephanie it felt like a friend was watching her. Also, I got so many updates and pictures!!! Would 100% use again.”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.
“Cheryl was incredible! I was apprehensive to leave my two golden retriever fur babies with someone I didn't know but I needed to leave town last moment and had an early morning departure. Cheryl was able to meet with my dogs the evening before I left and won them over instantly. They didn't want her to leave, which showed me that she truly has a passion for dogs. She spent quality time with them, playing with them and giving them the attention they craved. The three days she took care of the dogs, it was evident that she truly spent quality time with them. So much so that for days after I got home, they were constantly waiting by the window, waiting for her return.”
“Ella was super great with our little puppy! We are brand new to the area with no family or close friends, but Ella made it so easy to leave our little guy in her care! She did what we asked, sent pictures, & stayed in touch with us throughout the weekend! We definitely recommend and would use her again!”
“Wendy was excellent with Bodhi and Grace and took care with my home. She shared multiple updates on the dogs, walked them, and was flexible. I highly recommend Wendy and will use her again.”
“Sarah was great! She housesat for us and watched our two dogs. She brought her dog who got along so well with our younger, anxious dog. She left our house clean and spotless. She sent several pics and updates throughout the day. We will definitely reach out to her in the future if we need someone to housesit.”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.
“Alyssa was fantastic. She took great care of our very active and social gsp. Before our trip our dog got into something she shouldn’t have, and was experiencing digestive issues. Alyssa was very flexible with adjusting the dog’s meals and kept us updated on our pups improvements. She sent appropriate updates and pictures during her time. She left the house clean and tidy. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Shannon did a wonderful job with Posie. Posie has some anxiety issues and Shannon was able to handle them without a fuss. She arrived early and stayed later than I anticipated. She also provided updates on Posie as well as pictures which I really appreciated. I will be using Shannon as my go to dog sitter from here on out. I just hope she’s available because her rates are probably too low for the services she provided.”

Morganton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ella was super great with our little puppy! We are brand new to the area with no family or close friends, but Ella made it so easy to leave our little guy in her care! She did what we asked, sent pictures, & stayed in touch with us throughout the weekend! We definitely recommend and would use her again!
To be honest, we were hesitant to use Rover. But our friends used Cheryl V and highly recommended her. We loved her. She took good care of our Tanner. Sent us periodic pictures. Tanner loved her as well. He probably would have went home with her.☺️ We felt very comfortable with her staying overnight at our home with our fur baby. We will use her again.
Cheryl was a real lifesaver. At 12:19AM our scheduled sitter cancelled a reservation for a 10:00AM arrival!! Cheryl was one of perhaps seven sitters to reply to a blanket request that Rover sent to all area sitters, but was the only one willing to pivot and rearrange her day, and come to my home to watch my dog - right away - as I needed to get on the road !! It's Very rare that Otis has ever been left with anyone other than close family, so I was expecting a 30 minute stressful turnover, with me feeling like I needed to go over ~my list~ several times, worry about how Otis would interact with the sitter... And then Cheryl and her husband ( I am so sorry - I am terrible with names ) arrived and my traitorous dog couldn't leap into his hands fast enough, and Cheryl's presence was an immediate calming factor for me - she gives off an aura of confidence, and "I got this". I kind of felt silly going over ~my list~ for the most part, if I'm being honest. Pictures with text updates were sent before I thought to inquire as to how things were going. Otis really enjoyed the day with his two new friends, and looks as if he's missing having someone other than me to entertain him. I feel really very fortunate that Cheryl ( and husband who's name I forgot - I am so sorry! ) were the ones to respond to Rover's attempt to fix the issue caused by the late cancelation. Yes - I would most certainly recommend Cheryl for whatever your needs are. I have absolute confidence that if she says she can do it, she can and will. I'll be planning my next trip around her schedule !
