“Sherri was great as usual & I'm not sure how Judy was booked Judy was mentioned as a backup if Sherri wasn't available. Never any contact from her til the Sunday evening before the 4 th. Please refund that booking Thanks.”
“My husband and I had planned a trip to andrews. We first booked with someone else and they canceled on us after we had already booked $250 tickets for the railroad. I found Amanda and she was happy to do a visit for us. She cared for 2 of my boxers. She took pictures, and made sure they went to the bathroom and walked. I was so relieved I could count on them being taken care of while gone. She is very reliable and i would contact t her again if we are ever in that area!”
“Taylor was excellent! He took great care of our senior cat, Jos, who can sometimes be very prickly around new people. He showed up on time, made sure Jos was fed and his litter boxes were cleaned, and followed all the directions we left for him. Taylor was attentive, friendly, and accommodating, and I would definitely book him for pet care in the future.”
“This was my second time booking Terri to watch my cats. She did a fantastic job! She is thorough and I can tell she cares for them well. They warmed up to her more this time and she was actually able to send photos of both cats--no more hiding :) Terri will definitely be my go-to sitter.”
“Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.”
“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”
About: I miss my two girls I have lost in recent years due to old age and a serious health condition beyond our control. I am not ready to adopt again anytime soon, but my need to be around animals is an itch I long to scratch. I am highly attuned to when animals need space, and when they need love. Will do all I can to help you out, and make you and your pet feel at ease while you are away. Look forward to meeting new fur friends in Murphy! I’m available on the weekends and a few days during the week for house sitting or pet walking. Evenings will be variable. Tuesday nights are available during the week. Honest and trustworthy for sitting in your home. My husband who owns his own home improvement business will be accompanying me occasionally. References if needed
“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”
“Ben is reliable, trustworthy and an asset to Rover!!! We can count on him to take care of our fur babies when we can’t!!! Will definitely use him again, and refer him to our friends and family!!!”
About: Animal Shelter Enrichment Volunteer, Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.
“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”
“She is the best I’ve ever seen and I recommend her to anyone. Now I know where to take Gil when we go to casino. I love visiting this town-Bryson City. It is great. If u want to get anyone to sit or keep ur dog Michelle and Robbie are the best. I feel safe my dog is happy and having a blast.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could. We often fostered dogs and cats taking care of them until they found their forever home. I have watched my friend’s and family’s pets for them often as an adult. I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time. I am an elementary school teacher which means Monday-Friday I am at school until around 4pm. Otherwise I am available and home with the pups 😊 I have a fenced in back yard and a doggy door which will allow your pup outside access whenever they need it. If they need to be crated while I’m not at home let me know, otherwise they can have access to both the yard and inside the house while I’m away. I do have two dogs of my own, Winnie is a dachshund and Bella is a beagle. I also have a cat named Muchacho who is indoor/outdoor.. he comes and goes as he pleases. They are super friendly with dogs and cats, but if your pet isn’t just let me know and I can make sure they are separated during the visit. I will be sure to adhere to any feeding schedules or special requests.. I would want anyone watching my babies to do the same.
“Delaney is a true superstar! I left her with her hands full and she did everything I asked! She even took extra care with my kitten who had a health problem as well as has a great time with my pups ? 1000000% recommendation and will use her again!”

Murphy cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda (Mandy) did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent me daily pics and reports on them both..even on the one I have that hides. Mandy was sure to have eyes on them both before leaving for the day which was reassuring for me, she also took the time to hunt down the “hider” and move his food near him to make sure his brother didn’t get it. I will absolutely use Mandy’s services again and will recommend her to friends and family.
