House Sitting in Roaring River

“Did a fantastic job with our rather complicated site! Went above and beyond what had to be done. We were really grateful for Alyssa and Alyssa's patience with our place and procedures. Alyssa communicated often and sent us photos of our animals.”

“We had another amazing experience with Danielle! Her communication, timeliness, and service exceeded our expectations once again. We will continue to use her services in the future. Huge thanks to Danielle for taking care of our puppy and for making our lives less stressful. 😊”

About: I love animals and have had pets as far back as I can remember. I currently have 3 dogs, two shih Tzu's and a labor doodle. I enjoy spending free time playing outside with them. I work from home, so i spend countless hours with my pups and play with them on breaks and lunches. My wife also works part time and is able to play with our dogs along with taking them outside in our fenced in back yard. Unfortunately going forward I can no longer take drop offs or pick ups after 1030pm est or before 9am. This is due to my 1 year old son who requires a full night's rest. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For some reason if you cannot make that time frame please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate your situation. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to roam around and play in. I also have 3 other dogs they could play with.

“Andrea was wonderful. She met with us ahead of time since it was our first time using Rover. She was very responsive and send pictures of the dogs when she was over which we really appreciated. Best of all, we came home to happy pups!”

“Breyana was absolutely fantastic! She communicated frequently with updates and photos to make me feel comfortable while she was staying with my dogs overnight for a few days. I have had a few Rover sitters before and she was the best yet! Definitely would recommend, 10/10”

About: Dogs are our family and I will treat them as so. I have taken care of other families dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs since I was 3. I am a big dog fan and love any breed. I am a student so my schedule is very flexible in between classes. I can take care of animals before and after my classes if needed. I will always respect your house and your rules that you set inside your home. Please make me aware of any rules you would like respected.

“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”

About: I stand out through my dedication to delivering unparalleled care tailored to the unique needs of every dog. With specialized expertise in training puppies and providing attentive senior care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention, ensuring each furry client receives nurturing and enriching experiences. My commitment to fostering strong bonds and creating positive, memorable interactions sets me apart as a compassionate and trusted caregiver at Rover. I am retired and looking for walking activities to keep me busy with the things I enjoy the most, PETS!! I love being around them as much as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Exercise and Play: I engage the dog in activities they enjoy, such as walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them active and happy. Comfort: I provide cozy resting areas and ensure the environment is safe and secure. Medication: If required, I administer medications according to the owner's instructions. Dog Walking: Safety First: Before the walk, I check equipment like leashes and harnesses to ensure they are secure. Exploration: I take dogs on stimulating walks in safe areas, allowing them to explore and enjoy their surroundings. Hydration: I bring water for hydration, especially during warmer weather. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks.

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 3+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I currently work from home so I am able to dedicate quality time for the care of your pet. I am available Mon-Friday as well as weekends. I have an electric fence for my pup but when I pet sit, no pup goes out without supervision and on a leash. I allow pets to be comfortable in my home too but if you need them crated, I can accommodate that too.

About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with four dogs, a cat, and a bird! We rescued all of them and gave them a loving home full of attention and all the treats they could ever want. I would also pet sit for friends every so often. Because of this, I have learned a lot about everything that comes with being a pet owner. I now live here in North Carolina with my boyfriend and we have our sweet cat, Pretzel. I currently have a full-time job in West Jefferson. I am available for drop ins anytime during the weekends and late afternoon/nights during the week. I can do drop ins and do whatever I need to do to care for your pet whether that's playing with them, feeding them, or changing the litter. I can also walk dogs as well!

About: I truly love animals. My love grew from a young age having grown up with all different kinds of animals. From cats & dogs, horses, a couple pigs & goats, and cows. I have also watched friends, family & neighbors animals throughout the years which I loved and enjoyed. With my extra time I would love to help you out by taking care of your animal as I do my own. I currently work full time. I am available for morning and afternoon drop ins Monday through Friday. I have limited weekday availability but still offer house sitting and boarding with specific hour as I will be gone at my job. I am very flexible on the weekends and can cater my schedule to what your individual pet needs. I have 3 loving pups American Bully Vegas, Chocolate lab Hattie May, Blue Heeler Cheyenne, a cow named Annie and cat named Rye. I have a fenced in yard with lots of running space available. If your furry guest needs to have more alone time or is more comfortable with one-on-one, that is possible. Fresh water is poured daily and feedings happen at an individual pace. Treats will only be given with owner's permission. Any outside activity is always monitored.

“Thank you Sarah!! I was nervous to leave my boy for so many days but Sarah kept me updated on how my pup was doing and she took great care of our home. Highly recommended!”

About: I've been pet sitting for over 20 years, and it's a passion I've held for as long as I can remember. I recently relocated to this area and am eager to connect with new clients who are seeking trustworthy and loving pet care. With a longstanding commitment to caring for animals. At home, I have a very sweet dog who gets along famously with other animals and kids alike. Working from home means your pets will always have company and attention. I'm confident your pets will be happy and content with me—just ask my spoiled dog! I hope to hear from you soon! Update I can’t accept dogs that have high energy right now. Also I’m temporarily staying at a campground but I have a fenced in deck and plenty of yard for dogs to play. Pet care is not just a part of my daily routine; it's woven into the fabric of my life. Working remotely means your furry friends will have my undivided attention, and I can promise them endless snuggles and love throughout the day. Their joy and well-being are truly at the heart of everything I do. Caring for pets in both my home and my clients' homes is a true joy. Whether in my cozy space or theirs, I prioritize their happiness with plenty of playtime and cuddles. Understanding each pet's unique needs is key, ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

About: Over the years, I've taken care of a few different animals. I've watched chickens, horses, dogs, and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I've also had experience with dogs with disabilities. I have two German Shepherds; one is blind, and the other has joint issues. My love for my pets is infinite, and I promise I'll share that love with your pets. My future pursuit is to study veterinary medicine. I work part time from 11am to 5pm Monday through Friday. My weekends t evenings after work are free giving me an opportunity to spend all day with your fur babies. Your pet safety is a priority. In no way will I put your pet in any danger, I’ll do as you instruct, I’ll follow your food guidelines, medicine, etc. as for your home I do not plan on doing anything other than what you tell me to do, I won’t go in places I’m not allowed and if I make a mess somewhere I’ll immediately clean it up. In conclusion I will treat your home like it’s my own and I will most definitely love your dog and care for them the way I love and care for mine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all ages and breeds. I have 2 dogs. I’ve given baths, walks and medication to all ages. I’ve had dogs from 10 pounds up to 130 pounds. I currently don’t have a full time job. My availability is open and I could check on your pets anytime you’d like me and make sure they’re very well taken care of. I have 2 friendly dogs. I also have 2 cats that stay to themselves. My yard isn’t fenced in but we do have a little fenced in area. I could crate your dog if needed.

“Destiny did a good job watching my 2 doggies. A yorkie and pit bull mix. She offered to have an early meet and greet which helped them recognize her when she came to stay. House was neat and clean when I came home. I did have to reach out for my updates but not a big deal.”

About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.

“Emily was wonderful. She was quick to respond and was willing to meet and greet the fur babies prior to her stay. She sent me pics of the fur babies throughout her stay. They seemed to be happy and well cared for.”

“Tammera is the most awesome pet sitter I could have wished for - Murphy and Lia love her! I gave her so many kudos during our vacation I hope our friends we vacationed with contact Rover.com when they need a petsitter as well! She sent us pics every day and wasn't hesitant to ask questions about where things were in the house so she could be the best sitter ever - she was even thoughtful enough to leave us a vase of fresh roses she cut from our yard on the kitchen counter! How awesome! We returned home to the babies happy to see us, and house clean as a whistle, AND talk about going beyond the call of duty; she baked us a delicious loaf of sourdough bread to boot - the house smelled wonderful and the bread is gone less than 24 hours later!!! Tammera, you can't leave Wilkes County. We are SO happy to have found you!”

About: I've grown up with a love of all animals and have had at least one dog or cat in the family for as long as I can remember. My mom managed a boarding and training kennel and took me to work with her every day, where I not only assisted her with the daily tasks, but also learned about caring for animals of all types and sizes. I started pet sitting for family and friends around the age of 10, and also was responsible for taking care of the pets in our home. I take my animals out for regular playtime and bathroom breaks, clean up the yard, and feed and water as needed. We have an older dog so I've also gotten comfortable with administering medication, whether it's chewable, hiding pills in treats, or injecting into the animal itself. I was bit by the pet lover bug at an early age, and it's become a huge passion in my life. My schedule is open and ready to accommodate any of your pet sitting needs. I have reliable transportation so I can either stay overnight to pet sit for you or stop by for a quick check-in or playtime. I will treat your dog or cat like a member of my own fur family.I am comfortable feeding, crating, and administering medicine as needed. I will put the safety of your animals above everything else, so rest assured your pets are my top priority.
