About: My family and I raised my first dog from a puppy. All the dogs (and cats) who followed were rescues. Most were seniors that we cared for till they passed away. I’ve also owned parakeets, and taught them to talk! Our current lifestyle makes it difficult to have pets of our own, and we miss them! If you’re looking for someone to love on your pup, kitty, or bird, I’d love to help out. I’m happy to feed your pets, walk your dogs, or stay with pets in your home while you’re away. As an owner of pets for many years, I enjoy their company; and, many times, pets are drawn to me.


“I had a great experience with Pamela. She's a dog whisperer, always on time, and loves being around dogs.”



“Recently starting using Rover and Terri has been the only dog walker I've used on this site. She has truly been amazing and definitely puts me at ease knowing that my Sadie is being taken great care of while I'm away at work each day. I cannot express how much I would highly recommend her service and do not know what I'd do without her!! My dog Sadie (and even my cat Milo) absolutely adore her and Sadie always has a big smile when Terri comes to visit her. Thank you so much Terri!!”


About: My number one pet care skill is dog walking. In current life I have now, my family recently adopted an eleven month lab mix puppy who I have been helping to house train and potty train her. I live near a park with a track around it, so it makes it easy to walk her. My other skill would be getting dogs to like and trust me. Ever since I was four, I have had at least two dogs, which has trained me to give dogs a lot of pettings, talk to them, and play with them. Other specialties I have are feeding, watering, bathing, brushing a dog, and training a dog basic tricks, such as sit. Overall, I have had five dogs, in my life time since I was four, including a Jack Russel, Terrier mix, Pyrenees Poodle, Feist, and a Lab mix. Parting outside of dogs, I have experience with caring for rabbits, birds and fowl (chicken, duck, geese, guinea), and a stray cat. Hi, I am a second year college student, and also have a job in fast food. Dog sitting is my side gig, which making my hours limited. I am available all day on Sundays, available after 1:30pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and before 3pm on Saturdays. The number one way I will care for your pet at your home is by being attentive. I'll make sure that they are not doing anything they should not be doing. I will also ensure they have plenty of time outside for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. Furthermore I will keep an eye that they are fed properly, have plenty of water, and loved and cared for. Lastly, I'll make certain to clean whatever mess your pet may make and guarantee that your pet is happy and content.

“Anna was great. Our two dogs loved her right away and were happy to see her. She made every effort to meet our scheduling needs. She was very pleasant. We will definitely use her services again.”


About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!

“Ashley had been absolutely incredible with my baby! She has been great about checking in and taking really nice photos of Kaiya. She really goes the extra mile to make sure she is well taken care of and you can tell she truly has a love for your pup.”


“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

About: I have been dog training for the past 3 years slowly growing my business. I love taking care of animals as it is my passion! I work a few hours during the week but typically my schedule stays pretty open, most of the time I can fit in your needs! I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a nice neighborhood where I can take your dog for plenty of walks and exercise.

“Dixie is a great care taker! She is so patient and caring with animals. She loves my cat, Zelda, and is always so kind and loving with her.

Sarah S.
“Hi Everyone at Rover, Sarah is a Pet Lover and is wonderful with all pets. She is very good with dogs and has had experience with dogs up to 65 lbs. She has taken care of her Jack Russel Ivy 12 years before passing. She now helps take care of our lab mix, Pyradoodle and First. She walks them on a leash and feeds them and is constantly trying to train them to be obedient. She is experienced with rabbit care walking them cleaning them etc. she also is experienced with feeding and watering chickens, ducks and geese. Over all she gets 5 stars for caring and loving animals.”


Julia B.
“I’ve known Julia for almost forty years and still remember going to her house for the very first time as a young girl. She had several pets, all of whom were brought home by Julia, and I knew right away why God crossed our paths. I naturally have a heart for animals, bringing everything home that I find, and Julia has the same heart. Over the years, I have known Julia to always have pets. Cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and a tortoise. Not to mention the wildlife that she has rescued and helped throughput the years. She has a home in the country now where she has added pet chickens and a goat. Having animals in her life brings her joy and in return the animals always get the best care and love. I only wish I lived a little closer because I know that I could count on Julia to care for my fur family while I am away. I can’t imagine any work that would make her happier than caring for animals.”

“Chelsea is an incredible dog-mom and anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog sitter or walker. I’ve known her since 2017 and can attest to the fact that she is utterly devoted to the health and happiness of her own dog, Gidget. In fact, her doggie daycare uses Gidget as the friendly greeter for new pups upon first arriving at the daycare. Chelsea is a brilliant and devoted teacher and has the utmost patience for her students as well as the pets she cares for. She loves hiking the trails with Gidget and having her meet new friends. Schedule her for a meet and greet with your dog and you’ll see for yourself; she’s a catch!”
