House Sitting in Tuckasegee

“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!”

“Lillie took care of our dogs during a wedding, drove them to the venue when planned, even dressed them and kept them for us until the end of the celebration. She was reliable, easy to connect with the dogs and handle them. She was creative when problems presented themselves, I cannot praise her enough!”

About: I have had and lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I am more knowledgeable and most comfortable with cats, but I have experience taking care of dogs as well. I have experience with administering medicated eye drops, ear drops, and I know how to clean up after pets. I have experience with cats of all ages. I am a current graduate student at Western Carolina University getting myself through the summer with any odd jobs I can acquire. I am also working on my research, so I may be called to work in the lab on WCU's campus on random days. I am not able to take in pets to stay with me, as I live in an apartment complex that has a strict pet policy, and I also have my own pet cat in my space. When visiting pets in their home, I will respect their space and read their body language so as to not make them uncomfortable.

“Thank you, Dixie and Norwood, for taking such great care of our boys (Sorrow and Bandit) and home!! You are the best!!! From frequent updates to fastidious cleaning, we could not ask for more kind or attentive care. Thanks, again!!”

“Isabella is INCREDIBLE! So communicative, kind, and caring. She provided updates and adorable photos of our animals each day we were away. She was also kind enough to tend to some of our plants! I was able to rest easy knowing our home and its inhabitants were in her care. I would definitely recommend Isabella for anyone’s fur babies and intend to book her again!”

“Ellie did an amazing job watching our home and caring for our dogs while we were out of town. I have a dachshund who is extremely picky on who she likes, and she absolutely loved Ellie unlike any other dog sitter we have seen. She is extremely communicative and we will absolutely be reaching back out to her.”

“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”

“Susanna was wonderful with our pets. She sent a check in picture each day to keep us up to speed, and when we got back our dogs were calm and clearly had been loved and cared for while we were gone. They didn’t even seem super excited to see us which is a great sign that they had a good time with Susanna. ?”

About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.

“Tia did an absolutely outstanding job caring for my three German Shepherds. Anyone who has experience with the breed knows they require attentive, confident handling; and Tia delivered exactly that without missing a beat. My pups were fed on schedule, exercised regularly, and taken out for bathroom breaks consistently throughout their stay. Clearly, Tia took their routine seriously and treated them with genuine care. What really set Tia apart was her communication. She sent photos of the pups playing outside, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also asked thoughtful follow-up questions about their care before I even had to bring anything up. This kind of proactive attention to detail tells you a lot about a sitter's professionalism and dedication. I will absolutely be booking with Tia again and would recommend her without hesitation to any pet owner, especially those with large or high-energy breeds. My fur babies were in great hands!”

“Excellent! She sent me plenty of photos! Kept me updated constantly and left my house cleaner than when we left it! Would totally recommend her!”

About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

“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.”

About: I grew up with pets which ranged from dogs to cats to chickens to a horse. I currently have a 8 year old Boxer and 1 year old cat who I rescued from a shelter! I would love to have a goat farm one day and be able to do goat yoga. I enjoy being around all pets, especially dogs. I think that all animals are special and deserve to be treated with lots of love. As a pet sitter/walker, I can come visit with your pet to provide food/water, playtime, walks, any other care that is needed to support your pet(s)/family and provide lots of love! After our pets are family. I work full time at a school but school is out so I have more time to spend with your pets as well as my own! I can crate your pups if preferred. I can walk your pup and send you updated photos on how they doing! I will provide your pets with lots of love!

“Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.”

About: I always have loved pets! When I was growing up everyone around me wanted me to walk/care/ or watch their dog / pet Because they knew I would exceed their needs and more! I am also a mom of two under two so besides pets I also love kids! And all of my pets are kid and pet friendly:)! Thanks for looking at my page! Hope to see you and your furry pal soon :) I’m a very flexible individual! And I am always willing to adjust anything to fit your furry friends daily routine! Im always willing to go out of my way for any pet! :) I’m also a stay at home mom so my schedule is basically open anytime because I’m always home and available! I don’t have a fenced back yard, but I’m always monitoring any pets that are outside on leash. and it’s a very moderate household. We are usually doing something outdoorsy or going on some fun adventure! And we will always exceed your pets needs and adjust our household to just that while your pet stays. :)

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)

About: I offer calm, reliable care for both dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with energetic pets who benefit from structured exercise and enrichment, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, patience, and gentle support. I’m also comfortable supporting anxious pets and maintaining familiar routines while their owners are away. I can administer basic medications, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain consistency with feeding, walks, litter care, and enrichment. I also have experience house sitting in a variety of homes and am comfortable maintaining discretion, care, and respect in each space as if it were my own. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and communication—I provide consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used Rover myself, I understand the importance of reliability, clear communication, and thoughtful photo updates in creating peace of mind while you’re traveling. I offer full availability throughout the week for pet care, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care for each booking. I can accommodate a wide range of routines and needs and prioritize reliability and clear communication for every stay. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I prioritize maintaining each pet’s familiar routine and environment to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and household guidelines. I approach each home with respect and care and ensure the space is left clean, organized, and well-maintained. I’m mindful of safety at all times, including secure leash handling on walks, careful attention to doors and entry points, and ongoing awareness of each pet’s behavior and needs. My goal is to provide a calm, consistent presence so pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment while owners are away.
