House Sitting in Mountain Rest

“Savanna is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to our family! We have always kenneled our dogs in the past and coming home from vacation was always a nightmare. Trying to navigate drop off and pick up times, not to mention the dogs come home smelling and needing baths, and they spend most of their time caged up. Savanna stayed at our house, loved on our babies like we would and took the most amazing care of them. We were able to enjoy our vacation and came home with our babies clean, loved on and there was no readjustment period like when they go to the kennel. Savanna will be the only one loving on our fur babies anytime we go out of town from now on!! She is the absolute sweetest human being, honest, trustworthy, so incredibly kind and very well experienced with animals. I was completely confident in leaving them with her and look forward to the next time she can come love on them!”

“Julia and Sarah Mae have come to my house to watch my dog two times for half a day. Very friendly and calm which I need for my anxious dog who cannot be left alone. Very responsible and follows directions. I feel confident to leave Ralphie in her care for a week.”

“Jesse is great with our 3 dogs. We have an older dog who he's even had to carry up and down stairs. He's had great communication with us and left the house clean and the dogs are very happy!”

About: From a young age, I’ve been responsible for caring for animals of many kinds, from hamsters to horses, with dogs always being a big part of my life. This experience has made me attentive, patient, and dependable when caring for dogs. I’m comfortable following routines, reading basic behavior cues, and providing consistent, loving care. I treat every dog as my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I am a full time student during the week and also have a part time job, however I am available for drop in visits during the week, except for Tuesday's after 12:00pm. I can visit up to two times per day per household. My schedule allows me to drop in early in the morning before school and then stop by later in the evenings. I am also available for overnight stays full time. Tuesday’s have a little bit of conflict for, I am at school from 12:00pm to 7:00pm. If an overnight stay goes through a Tuesday someone would need to let your pet out during those hours if necessary I keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible by closely following feeding, walking, and care instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I respect my clients’ homes and make sure their dogs feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“My girls had a fantastic time with Dixie! From the first communication, Dixie was spectacular. She was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and made me feel very at ease leaving my house and dogs in her care. She provided pictures and videos all throughout her time with my girls. I never had to wonder how they were doing. I have one that is needing special attention and she provided great care for her. She left my house in perfect condition, even changed my sheets and towels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.”

“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.”

“Stephanie was an AMAZING sitter! She took perfect care of our two dogs, Ares & Ariel. She went above and beyond expectations, gained their trust, and quickly became one of their favorite people (and mine, too!). She is trustworthy, down to earth, and so helpful. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for pets of my own and have spent the past 6 years pet sitting for others. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet in my care like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine and needs. I’m confident with: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Daily walks and exercise • Basic medication administration • Maintaining routines and house rules • Sending regular photo and video updates My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide: • Fresh food and water at each visit • Clean litter boxes or yard clean-up as needed • Walks and exercise based on your pet’s energy level • Playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!) • Detailed updates with photos after each visit I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect — keeping things tidy, secure, and exactly as you left them. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

“Ro did an amazing job caring for our sweet senior kitty. She gave her lots of attention and gave us frequent updates and photos. She also took great care of our home and left everything very clean and in great shape. I would highly recommend Ro as a pet/house sitter!”

I really learned alot about caring for our senior dog. Her personality is just remarkable. You want go wrong with getting her for your furbabies.”

I am skilled in understanding the personality of dogs and cats and how to best adapt my energy to make sure they are attuned to in a soft, gentle way. I am fit and in shape for those puppy and energetic dogs that need a longer walk as well. Would be honored to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I have had dogs for over 30+years :) Available to help your pet 7 days of the week!

I offer sweet energy to meet and greet your pet so that it feels comfortable going as slow as needed for your pet to feel comfortable.

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.

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.

About: Hey there!! I've been around pets my whole life and absolutely LOVE them. We had a dog (dachshund) growing up as well as other animals like Rabbits and Guinea Pigs! I've had cats and dogs throughout my life as well. My bestie dog was named Sadie (corgi/husky mix) who was 17 when I had to let her go to the rainbow bridge March 2021...it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do 💔 I had her since she was about 1 yr old. She had a pacemaker put in about 2 yrs prior to passing and had a great life but I miss her like crazy. I've been Petsitting a long time but over the passed couple of years it's really helped heal my heart and has truly been a blessing. Most of my clients are from word of mouth over the years but I have this to help others get in touch with me if they need some help! I live in Lake Toxaway but I have jobs anywhere from Highlands, Trillium, Cullowhee, Cashiers, Sapphire, Lake Toxaway to Brevard. I mostly stay at my client's homes but I do bring some dogs to my house if it ends up being a better option. I've done puppy care and senior care as well so that doesn't phase me. I also can do medication or treatments needed. If I'm booked up for in home pet care then I can do drop ins 2x a day for cats 🐱 I can possibly offer that for dogs too but they usually need it 3x a day. So that would all depend on my availability. I work part time caretaking properties/cleaning, and childcare so I'm mostly home! When I do need to leave I'm not gone more then 3-6 hrs, depending on the job. I can travel further if I can move jobs around in my area. I'm very flexible and try to make things work if I can! I currently don’t have a fenced in yard but I will walk around my neighborhood and have a decent sized backyard. I treat your babies like they're my own so they get lots of lovin. Sometimes we go to the State Park too! If they like car rides I'll take them to check my mail or little errands.
