About: I have experience working as a kennel technician at a local animal hospital and have been caring for my pets for several years. I have also taken classes on pet care and how to work with different types of animals. I am currently working a part-time job, but i am able to accommodate what is best for you. Since I have a very flexible schedule I am open for just about everything! I have experience with kenneling dogs while also being on a timely feeding time and hourly walks, and play times. I care for my pets by crating and having scheduled feeding times along with plenty of fenced-in outdoor time!
“We had the pleasure of having Heather take care of our sweet golden at the last minute on a holiday weekend while attending a family funeral. I was a nervous wreck to leave my girl with someone strange but Heather took the leash and handled everything professionally. Her communication (pics included) put me at ease. She was great - went above and beyond - and if I lived in that beautiful area I would hire her often and feel right at ease.”
About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, offering reliable, loving, and attentive care. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering basic medications, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel happy and cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because animals have always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding, and playtime, and I enjoy building that consistency into my week. Whether it’s daily check-ins, longer stays, or weekend walks, I make sure caring for pets is a reliable and joyful part of my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks or play, and lots of affection. I also keep their routines as close as possible to what they’re used to, so they feel secure. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the instructions provided closely — whether that’s specific feeding schedules, administering medications, or sticking to a particular walking route. I always keep the home tidy, respect the client’s space, and send regular updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care of my family dogs for as long as I can remember. Feeding them, playing with them, taking them for walks! Anything I’m able to do I’ll do it! I have 2 dogs so in the morning I will let them out to use the bathroom and while they do that I feed them/make sure they have clean water! I work afternoons so most the time I take them for a hike or a walk! I have an open back yard for them to roam in and a leash if they are not off leash trained! I have all the things needed to safely take care of your pet given I have dogs already!

“Sydney was amazing!!! This was our first time working with her and we are very happy and pleased!!! All of our fur babies were taken very well care of and got lots of loving while we were gone.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for pets of different sizes and personalities, including dog-sitting a Golden Retriever in my home and providing a safe, loving environment for two cats during a three-month stay while their owner was out of town. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s Pekingese on and off for six years, giving me experience with long-term, consistent pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a comfortable environment. Whether your pet needs companionship while you’re away or a reliable caregiver they can feel at home with, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work. My work hours are: * Monday: 8:30 AM–2:00 PM * Tuesday: 9:15 AM–4:00 PM * Wednesday: 8:20 AM–3:30 PM * Thursday: 9:15 AM–2:30 PM * Friday: 8:30 AM–3:30 PM I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and have additional availability on weekends. I make pet care a priority by sticking to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime and attention, and any other care requested by the owner. I always treat each home with respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”
“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”

We have 3 dogs and 3 cats and were traveling for 10 days. CJ took amazing care of our zoo and communicated with us daily about their antics and how they were doing, complete with pictures. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her for our next trip.
CJ did a great job taking care of our 3 big dogs. CJ spent the night and then checked in twice a day for a potty break. We was gone for a week and got updates daily. We were well pleased. We will use CJ again. Thanks for taking care of our puppy dogs they enjoy!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pilot Mountain walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pilot Mountain maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Pilot Mountain 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
