“Maria was so sweet to my fur babies! Hellboy is aptly names and even he warmed up to her! She was thoughtful and a great communicator. My place was a wreck due to moving out of state in a few days from the trip, packing boxes, and broken oven from the night before - she sailed through it without a pause. Total trooper! I recommend her without hesitation!”
“Ginger is a truly experienced house and pet sitter. We were so happy to have her at our home with our two cats while we had our little getaway. She is a wonderful communicator…from making arrangements, throughout the sit and wrapping it up when departing. We will hope for another time to meet up again. C & L agree.”
“It has been a pleasure to have Monique (and her daughter) in our home. They gave thoughtful time and attention as they cared for our dog, Betsy. We are thankful we found them through Rover, and look forward to their next visit.”
About: I’ve been a veterinarian for 5 years, driven by a love of animals! I grew up with and have always shared my life had dogs. Sadly, my dog passed away some months and I’m really missing the company. I am new to Brevard and would love to explore the beautiful scenery with your dog! I’m currently between jobs and very flexible with hours and days of the week so I can adapt to you and your dog’s needs and normal routine. As a veterinarian I am very comfortable with all breeds and ages of dogs, as well as with those that may need special care. As a former user of Rover for pet sitting myself, I fully appreciate and understand how hard it is to leave them for hours and find someone you can trust with them as well as your home.
“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”
“Caitlin is wonderful! She communicated with us often and was always responsive. She is very responsible and awesome with dogs. My dogs took to her quickly and I felt at ease knowing they were so well taken care of while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Susan did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with great communication throughout. I came home to a happy girl and an immaculate house. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter and I definitely plan on using her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cate! I felt comfortable with Cate after meeting her. She was attentive to details, very pleasant, and took great care of our house and animals. I recommend Cate and will use her again in the future. Hsyden”
“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“After meeting Brenda at our Meet & Greet, I had peace of mind that our four dogs (14-80 pounds) were going to be well cared for during our vacation, as well as our aquarium and pond fish. Brenda has a confident and calm demeanor that animals can sense, as well as a true love and passion for animals. She even took on additional duties of walking the dogs, putting out and bringing in bird feeders daily, mail and garbage duties, and maintaining the house perfectly. Brenda communicates promptly while you're away with any questions or concerns. We were so lucky to find a sitter that could handle a demanding multi-pet home with different needs and personalities with care, ease, and confidence. Brenda Deal”
“Nicole was available in short notice to house sit my three dogs. They can be wild at times and she kept them calm. Nicole updated me multiple times throughout the day and took wonderful care of my babies. I would definitely recommend her. I didn’t have to worry while she was caring for them.”
About: I just lost my dog of 12 years. I'm not ready for another yet. Until I would l to help you with extra love for yours! ♡ I work 7 to 5, Monday through Friday. 10 HOURS PER DAY, I MAY NOT be a good fit everyone on weekdays! However, I would be available to help you with walking from 5pm to 7pm on weekdays, and we could talk about weekends! I live in downtown Hendersonville and do the Ecusta Trail quite often, if you are near I would love to help! I would prefer to come to your home to help with your dog! But if we vibe well, I have a home set up for a dog, with a fenced in yard and a doggie door!
About: Caring for animals is something that runs in my family both my mother and my aunt are deeply involved in various rescues including but not limited to puppers, cats, even spiders of all shapes and sizes. We treat our fur babies like one of us and they are definitely part of the family. We will spend lots of time together walking through open fields and woods playing fetch if they are into those kinds of things I’m also ok with just sitting and sun bathing, we go fishing if the weather is nice. They will never have to worry about being alone or being forgotten or scared because I will be there any time they need. Lap dogs and cuddle buddies are always welcome !!
About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.
“Emily was a wonderful dog sitter, so attentive and so communicative! She took great care of my dog and my place as well! I really value having updates and ongoing communication when I’m leaving my dog with others (especially someone new) and Emily understood the importance of that. Will definitely book her again! Thanks so much Emily! :)”
“Beth and her husband Rob took such amazing care of my pups when I was out of town. They were great communicators and sent lots of pictures so I had no doubt my dogs were well loved while I wasn't around. Upon my arrival home, they seemed less anxious than ever before when I'd been out of town. Thanks Beth and Rob for such a great experience!”
“Constance was an excellent house sitter and friend to my sweet Quincy while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. She left my apartment cleaner than when I left. Thank you Constance for your care and attention! Quincy had a great time with you!”
“Darby is fantastic. She truly made our Mishka feel happy and loved. Its so important to see our dogs demeanor after time away and Mishka always looks content and well taken care of. Thank you Darby!”

Ginger is paws down the best pet sitter we have had the pleasure of having care for our pets and our home. From the moment we met her on an initial meet and greet to her departure following our 10 day trip, she was fully engaged with our pets and their needs. Her daily communications with us while we were away were full of photos and “ news of the day”. Our pets warmed to her immediately and were relaxed upon our return. Our home was immaculate and our communications with Ginger on the day of our return made for a seamless transfer of care. We will enthusiastically invite Ginger to return to care for our pets and our home again.
Ginger was with our dog Lily for 12 days and I was super nervous to leave her as I had only used Ginger once before and for one night. Every day I would get text messages and lots of pics from Ginger which made me feel so comfortable and if she had questions she would always ask right away and Lily loved her. I can't say enought about the care Lily received and I was a little hesitant to write this review because I know a lot of people will want Ginger, lolol. I feel blessed to have found her and will continue to use her. Lily thanks her too for caring for her. Thank you Ginger, you went above and beyond.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ginger and the incredible job she did on our wedding day. She took such amazing care of our sweet Lea and made sure she was exactly where she needed to be at every moment. Knowing Lea was in such loving, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry. She went above and beyond—calm, professional, organized, and genuinely caring. Lea was happy, safe, and beautifully included in our special day thanks to her. I am so grateful for her kindness, her attention to detail, and the love she showed our girl. If you’re considering hiring her for any important event or even everyday care, do it. She was truly exceptional, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding day even more perfect. Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐾
