I have worked with disabled animals too Due to how my week operates, I am completely flexible. I can drop in weekdays and weekends, you and your pets are my number one priority. Your animal is safe with me; you don't have to worry. I aim to make open and transparent communication my top priority. If something goes wrong or your animal gets sick I will always contact you.

At this time I do not have a pet companion but miss them dearly. Once I have an established routine in the area I will be in search of another furry walking companion. I am relocating back to the WNC / Landrum area after being a nomad for 5 years. I am available throughout the Saluda, Hendersonville and Landrum area and am doing human caregiving throughout the WNC area. If your dog agrees I am open to taking them on local hikes.

About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.
About: I love cats. Especially the type that wants to curl up next to me. Do to my boyfriend having an allergy to cats we currently don’t have any. But I don’t mind dropping in and taking care of the fur babies. I’m currently a 911 Dispatcher for Transylvania County. I work every other week there. (Week on; week off) I will post my monthly schedules that way you can know if I’m a best fit for you. I would prefer not to have other dogs at my home. Due to one of my dogs not being all that friendly. But do not mind going to other homes and taking care of dogs through out the week.
“Mallory was great! Very communicative during her visit and sent lots of pics & videos!! My babygirl loved hanging out with her! Will definitely be having her hangout with my little girl again!!”
“Amie did a fantastic job with our two dogs. We actually had to change the times of her visits after the first day because of poor planning on our parts. Amie was able and willing to roll with the changes. Will be using her services again!”
About: I have not only been professionally pet sitting for one year, but I have been a lifetime pet owner. I specialize in exotic pets such as rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I have been a cat owner for 13 years and I am very familiar with German Shepherds. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique. I am currently a full-time student and I work a part-time job. I am available Friday - Sunday, and certain times on weekdays, except for Tuesday. Please reach out for more specific scheduling. I will always ensure that front and back doors, fences, and yard gates are closed/secure at all times so your pet does not escape. If your pet is required to stay in a crate, I will always make sure the crate is clean and secure. Dogs will always wear a harness with a leash to ensure extra safety.
About: Hi! My name is Haley and I live in the Brevard area. I am looking for side work after losing my main job due to Hurricane Helene. I have a large dog at home and my sweet cat, so I don’t offer any services in my own home. However, I am more than happy to come to you can offer daily drop ins and/or overnight care at your home. I have attended Puppy Kindergarten for my dog and am very familiar with basic training techniques for puppies. I look forward to connecting with you! I have availability most days, and am an early riser. Happy to speak with you and find something that works for us both! Thank you. I am clean and always respect folks privacy and wishes when in their home. I want you to feel like your fur babies are well cared for and with a trustworthy caretaker.
“Ashlee was absolutely wonderful. The notes and photos sent were great. I was able to enjoy my entire vacation knowing she was stopping by checking on my cat. Highly recommend!”
About: As a person who has been the primary care taker of my pets since I was 8, I know the right way to take care of animals and know how hard it can be to find quality care for our furry friends. With 2 cats of my own and with several previously owned dogs, I know I can provide excellent care to all kinds of animals! I also have a Veterinary Assisting degree, so also being able to alert owners of any health issues to be wary of is something I take seriously! Pet care is a daily task, as such I am able to do daily walks and be able to do other care tasks throughout the day so that your pet feels enriched and loved even when you’re away. I understand dog behavior to a good degree as I studied it while in school to earn my degree, so being able to safely walk a dog even if they are reactive is something I feel comfortable with.
“Alexis did great helping to check in on Piper last min as I had to leave town for the day. She was timely, took pictures and followed directions. Piper definitely loved meeting her. We will but utilizing her in the future!!”
About: I’ve had at least one pet in my life since I was born. Mostly cats, we had 7 cats at one point, we now have 5. We used to have 2 dogs, but unfortunately one named Brownie passed recently after a very long fight with heart worms. I’m used to all kinds pets with different personalities, ages, sizes and medical issues. One of our cats Campbell lived to be 20 years old. We fostered one cat who was blind in one eye, and another we adopted was an older cat that was both blind and deaf. Awhile ago one of our cat Penny ended up very sick and we had to give her 2 shots a day and multiple medications, she is now a healthy and happy kitty. I have also dog sat for my sisters 2 cane corsos more times than I can count, so I am comfortable around big dogs. I am currently working part time, but I am going to have to end my job there soon due to it being too laborious on my scoliosis and am planning to dedicate my time to taking care of your fuzzy family instead. I eventually will be doing Rover full time, but for now I will only be available on Thursdays and fridays. In my home, we take our dog on walks 2-3 times a day, always on leash. We also clean our litter boxes at least once a day, and we have multiple litter boxes around our house. We have 2 set meal times with our animals that consist of mostly wet food for a healthy diet and some dry food to help clean their teeth (also any medicine they need). They also have ‘treat time’ every night before bed where we throw treats around the house for them to chase. All of our animals have been fixed, has their shots and is given flea and tick medicine. We also have tons of different toys for all our babies, any with string or feathers is put away when not in use, and is only used with supervision. We also keep our house as clean as possible since our dog (even though he has like 100 toys lol) likes to get into things and chew them, so we are very conscious about that.
“Krystin Fantastic cat sitter!! She left detailed notes every day along with great pictures and stayed the full 30 minutes! I’ll definitely be trying to book her for looking after my cat anytime I’m out of town.”

Jessica was amazing! Such great energy and we felt comfortable immediately when she arrived for a meet and greet. She dropped in on Dennis and he was well taken care of while we gone...and super happy and not stressed when we returned. I really hope she will help us out again some time.
This is the second time Kristen has checked in on our fur babes, this time the dog too. All three are very happy and safe. Kristen asks great questions during the meet n greets and makes sure the animals are well taken care of according to any guidelines you share. She’s always sure to give them extra love too!
We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Michael’s care while we did a day trip out of town. The visits to our dog were right on time and we loved seeing the photos. Michael even brought our pet food delivery in from the front porch. We will definitely use Michael’s services again.
Abigail is an absolute professional. She is polite and punctual, and her communication is prompt and descriptive. All of this made me extremely comfortable trusting her to care for my dog. She has a well deserved excellent reputation and I would absolutely recommend Abigail for pet care.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Penrose stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Penrose choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Penrose with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
