“My fur babies loved their stay with Jennifer. They were well cared for the entire time. Jennifer kept me informed via video and text on the status of my boys so I did not have to worry how they were doing. I would highly recommend Jennifer for your next booking. I will use her again when I return to Highlands as she was less than 10 minutes from the home we stayed at and Jennifer gave us the opportunity to come and visit our fur babies whenever but when I realize how much fun they were having, we chose not to interfere with their vacation as well. Thanks to Jennifer our vacation was stress free and we did not have to worry about our dogs!”


“Five stars all the way. Laura is the best. She is truly an example of VIP dog sitting. She didn’t just look after our dogs, she treated them like family. We were happy FOR THEM that they got to spend the weekend with her. She’s very responsive, organized, professional, loving and caring, and everything you would want in a sitter who you really need to trust. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura and are looking forward to the next time she watches our dogs for us!”



“Pamela is an excellent dog sitter. We trusted her to take care of our nervous and energetic adolescent pup for 2 weeks while we were traveling out of the country. Pamela took excellent care of our dog and kept us well informed. She took him on long walks multiple times a day. She really loves dogs and cares for them like they are her own.”


“Heather and her kids (Anneliese and Andrew) are absolutely amazing!!! I can't express enough how grateful I am that we found her. During our vacation in Hayesville, the place we stayed at didn't allow dogs, so I turned to Rover to find someone to watch my 8-month-old golden retriever for the five days we were in town. Heather responded quickly and was incredibly flexible, making the whole process so easy. She was only 10 minutes away, and on our hiking days, we would pick him up to take him with us for a few hours before dropping him back off. He would excitedly sprint out of the car, eager to play with the other pups she had! He truly enjoyed staying with her, and she treated him as if he were her own. We received countless pictures of him having a blast, which gave us such peace of mind. Knowing that our pup was having an amazing vacation just like we were made all the difference. Heather's care and kindness were a true blessing, and we couldn't be more thankful!”


“Licia and Pete are a sweet couple that you can feel comfortable leaving your dog with. They have a nice, small fenced area for my Mogey to roam, as many walks with Pete as he wants, and pettings galore from Licia but his favorite thing was to hang on their back deck. We have been looking for someone as a permanent sitter solution and will be using them again.”


“Mini had a great time staying with Mary! She has the best setup for dog-sitting! I highly recommend Mary and would definitely use her again if we are ever back in the area! Thank you, Mary!! We appreciate you!”



“Amanda is an amazing dog sitter. She did an awesome job taking care of Willow for almost 10days. She sent pictures and an update every day. Amanda was very accommodating with a few last minute changes in the drop off and pick up times. Willow was excited to come home but I could tell she had also formed a bond with Amanda which only comes with someone that has being loving and caring towards her. I will definitely be taking Willow back when I need a dog sitter.”


“Stacey was amazing. Our dog had a great time. She communicated so well with us and sent regular photos. We vacation some in the area and would gladly have Stacey keep our dog another time. Thanks, Stacey!”



“Amanda did a wonderful job with our pup Sasha, who was quite anxious and had some separation anxiety. She was able to make Sasha feel at home and went above and beyond to keep her happy ?”



“Robbins Lane is the perfect place to leave Carly Jane… She has a lot of energy and she comes home exhausted and happy and Robin is patient and loving with her!”


“So grateful Hannah was available for our last minute trip for 5 days! She really helped us out bc everywhere else requires a month heads up. Kobe loved being there and made quick friends with all the dogs, he came home happy and super exhausted.”

About: I treat your dog as I would want my own dog to be treated. The Golden Rule doesn't just apply to humans. My dog is a Canine Good Citizen so I am good at training puppies. My parents had senior dogs with seizures and diabetes so I am good at giving shots. I'm retired so I have a lot of time on my hands to stay with your pets. I am very flexible as to when I can come to your house. I will treat your pet with the same love and devotion that I give to my own pets. I will adhere to their normal routine so we won't stress them out anymore than they need to be while you're away.

“Nicholas went above and beyond the call of duty. As soon as we arrived we felt safe and felt our pet was in good hands. He communicated with us and was very flexible. He sent picture to show that he was doing well. He walked him and fed him. I will certainly use his services again. Also this was my first time using Rover and the service did not disappoint.”


About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs. I am retired and can devote my time and attention to caring for people’s pets. Our own pets are very welcoming to other dogs and cats. We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.
