“James is great!, quick response, friendly. He has a large yard for all our sweet furries 🐕🐾🦴 companions to enjoy. Lola said she'd be thrilled to go back spend time there again. Thanks you.”
“Wonderful, wonderful care! Ann is such a loving and caring pet sitter. She is thoughtful of each animal and gives her all! So grateful to have found her, and thankful that my dogs were well cared for during their stay!”
“Pamela was just what we needed for our senior lab. She provided wonderful care for over night boarding. We received frequent communication and the whole process was very smooth. Our pup enjoyed her stay and we would gladly use Pamela again”
“Sharon is a loving and considerate companion that kept our elderly dog Kuma happy and healthy while we were away. Her wonderful attention to his daily needs was outstanding. Kuma enjoyed every minute of the warm and loving care Sharon gave to him everyday. The pictures and videos showed how he loved Sharon and how happy he was. Sharon would be an excellent pet sitter for your pets and we would highly recommend her services.”
“Kaitlyn and her family were so wonderful to our dog, Cocoa! They treated her like their own and she was so spoiled staying with them! Kaitlyn sent several photo updates throughout each day! She took Cocoa on multiple daily walks, made sure she ate her food, gave her a new toy, and even sent her home with a new bandana! It was purr-fect!”
“I would give 10 stars if that was possible! Bear was in heaven with Caitlin and her family. He went on long walks every morning, went to the river, road in the car and chased chickens! I was actually concerned that he would not want to come home to us :) I cannot recommend her enough- especially if you have a golden! We will be using her again.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”
About: My first born child is my 9 year old Golden Luna. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. I’d love to help care for yours! I work from home full time and am flexible to be able to check in at your home, go for walks, or have them with me. I have a fenced in yard that is safe for pets and am happy to accommodate any needs you may have. Crates are welcome if needed.
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Sylvie and will definitely continue in the future. She took great care of our dog and sent us pictures every day. I would highly recommend her.”
“Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.”
“Mary was so wonderful with my boys! They’re usually really nervous around new people, but she made them feel so comfortable and took really good care of them. Mary sent me regular pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They seemed to have a great time at her place and got along well with her sweet dogs.”
About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.
About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
“Tracy was outstanding! We’ve never left Sandy anywhere before and she kept us updated with photos and videos of her visit. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care. She genuinely cares for your furry little ones!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
About: Animals have been a constant in my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Beyond personal experience, I’ve spent years working on a small farm where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and even senior horses with medical needs. That hands-on background taught me how to handle a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and special care routines with patience and confidence. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a calm presence, or someone who’s comfortable with unique care instructions, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well‑loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a full‑time online master’s student and work part‑time, which means my days are naturally flexible. I’m able to structure my coursework around drop‑ins, walks, and time spent with your pets, rather than the other way around. This allows me to be available throughout the day for check‑ins, exercise, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. If your pet thrives on a predictable routine or needs attention at specific times, I can reliably accommodate that. The best thing I can do for you and your pet is keep them comfortable, consistent, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow the routine you provide, because familiar schedules help pets feel secure. With clear instructions from you, I’m happy to offer attentive playtime, regular walks, timely feedings, and treats as requested. Whether I’m visiting your home or spending extended time with your pet, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and giving them the attention they’re used to. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and well‑loved until you’re back.

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.
“Debbie is the best pet sitter I have ever, ever had. She is a fantastic communicator. She not only texts me pictures and updates, but she leaves a detailed note about each visit. She is kind and caring. Spends time with each animal petting and brushing. She made sure she had eyes on my scaredy-cat kitty so she could see he was safe at each visit. I loved that. I knew he would hide but it made me feel so much better that she looked for him. I had a friend taking care of my cats before and they didn’t realize that my cat had locked himself in my bedroom. He was locked in there for days without anyone knowing. Debbie made sure that would never happen. I am lucky to have found her here and will definitely be using her moving forward!!! Thank you Debbie!!!”
About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I’m not doing in home or boarding at this time and may offer to stay at your house with your pet in the future
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.
“I ended up needing a short-notice, “panic” cat check-in option from Rover before a 10-day trip. Lillie responded and communicated promptly. Her response saved my trip, She did a pre-trip visit to check out my 5 fuzzies, then dealt well with them for several food and water refill and social interaction visits. When I need cat sitting services again, I will be going back to Lillie.”
“Dixie is the BEST sitter I've ever had. She stayed with my cat, Simon, for over a week, making sure his every need was met. She also kept me informed about Simon's well-being through texts, photos and videos. She even washed my sheets and towels so I would have less to deal with upon my return home. In short, she was not only a caring sitter but also took steps to make sure my return home would go smoothly, thereby allowing me to spend more time reconnecting with Simon. I will DEFINITELY use Dixie again.”
“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Brinkley and having her watch my pets. She's an awesome, positive, and very responsible caregiver and I highly recommend her! Thank you Brinkley for going above and beyond to care for my home and animals.”

“What a great experience our furry gamily member had with Starlett! Thanks so much for the time spent playing with him and the updates. It is great to know everything is taken care of when we are away!!”
About: I've never owned a cat of my own as my entire family, except me, was allergic. Since 6th grade, my bestfriend has had a cat and I love her!! I've loved cats since and newly adopted one of my own. Also a plus, I do not have a sense of smell! So I have no problem cleaning up any mess, litter box, or if your cats a little smelly like mine :))).
About: Have worked with animals since I was a little kid. Have cared for all types of animals including deer and snakes. Love dogs and cats and feel that they need the same love and care we give each other. I have been helping my girlfriend Courtney Barron with her rover account for almost a year now. We have several regulars that we love to sit for. Dogs especially love me bc I can’t help but hug them and love them. I am available everyday for sitting and available after 2 pm Monday - Saturday and before 3 on Sunday for all other services. Ask for further availability. I have a small home space but love and care for one dog at a time so they get my full attention. Animals are allowed on my furniture and will probably love to sit and watch movies with me.
“Morgan was extremely attentive to my 2 kittens, mature cat, and senior chihuahua. He reached out multiple times with questions, and took the time to get to know them in advance. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing he was coming by once a day to supplement the adolescent I also hired for pet care during my extended trip. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire adult life , including senior dogs and puppies . I can administer medicine, and I work from home and can be here most of the time . Prefer not to have dogs larger than 60 pounds in my home overnight and no aggressive breeds . These factors will be considered on a case by case basis . I work from home with a flexible schedule and can meet your animals needs virtually anytime ! I have room to play and would love to care for your animal . I have experience caring for animals of all kinds in my home and will listen to any care instructions . I am home most of the day to care for the animal .
About: As I partner with pet parents, I look forward to welcoming and honoring each pet's spirit and unique needs. Growing up with animals taught me how to truly listen to these sacred beings and notice the subtle ways they communicate. I can promise that I will show up for every animal trusted in my care the way I'd want someone to show up for mine: with patience, presence, and a whole lot of love. I am an artist with the ability to easily move my schedule around. I look forward to walking, boarding, and supporting pet parents with any care needs that arise. I have a fenced in yard and a clean, quiet home. When caring for dogs, I look for opportunities to engage in play as often as possible both to bond with your fur baby and to ensure they are having fun!
“We came on vacation here and my dog, Shadow, was miserable because he has separation anxiety issues, so I contacted Amy to see if she could keep him for me during the day so he wouldn’t be alone. It was an amazing experience! She was so good with him and he actually loved going after the first day. Amy was a lifesaver for me, I could relax on my vacation and know Shadow was in good hands. Will definitely be using her again next time we come to town. Thank you so much!”
“Meagan was great and our pups were well taken care of! She worked with us on flexible drop off and pick up times due to the event we were attending. We highly recommend Meagan for your pet needs. Thanks!!”

About: I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment. I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful dog sitter. She sent pictures that showed Abby in various activities throughout the day. It was obvious that Abby enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn, her dog and daughter. She was extremely flexible on the drop-off and pick-up times. This was our first time to use her and she will be our first choice in future bookings. Thank you, Kaitlyn!!”
“Jennie was amazing! We were in town to camp and mountain bike and had to make some last minute adjustments due to weather. She was so flexible and accommodating we almost couldn't believe it! We hope to be back and would definitely use Jennie again.”

About: Since a little girl, there has always been dogs inside or outside of the house. As of right now, I have six dogs all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Therefore, I am very comfortable handling anything from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a gentler space. I understand how to manage multiple dogs at once and read their body language to make sure each one gets the care they need. Because of that, I am patient, adaptable, and used to real life situations. I treat every animal like they are my own regardless of where I am (why I have 6 lol), and make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a freshman in college who is fully online. Therefore, I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pups and get what they need! During the summer time, I will be doing this full time as I will be on break. I have a large yard with many pups yours can play with. If needed, I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer, however, all dogs are welcome on the furniture here. I also have a quieter space for the older, wanting to sleep dogs🙂
About: Hello, my name is Nick. I have been working with dogs for a long time and it is one of my passions. I have two dogs of my own one named Nala whose breeds we don’t know but she is a sweetheart who loves everyone and another named Stewy, he is an Australian Shepherd and Husky mix and he also loves socializing with other dogs. I also have experience volunteering at a local shelter. I enjoy getting to meet and interact with new dogs and your dog will be in great hands! Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routines. I have my own dogs who love socializing with other pups. I already spend much time everyday taking care of my dog and will provide the same level of care to your pet as I would mine! We have separate rooms we can put our dogs in if your pup would rather enjoy some alone time! I have a balcony which is safe and enclosed which the dogs will always have access to as well as access to a fenced in dog park. He is very sweet and playful and is not aggressive whatsoever!
“Martin was fantastic. A true animal lover. Martin walked our 170lbs Newfie JAX and was on time, took several pictures for us, texted us on his arrival, filled the water and food bowl. I highly recommend Martin to anyone!!!!!”
About: Let me begin by saying my prices are very negotiable! Just ask!! There has never been a point in my life that I haven't had a pet! I have 2 dogs here at home, and a cat now back at my apartment!! I love animals and as much as I love mine, i always love to meet as many as I can:) I am a student, and anytime I am not at my classes, I'll have available time to care! With that being said, I am very flexible when it comes to prices!! Just ask! I am mostly always available and can work around both of our schedules when needed! I pay great attention to detail and set alarms if pets are time depended on dinner or medications. I am always on time, and I don't mind if you want me to stay a little longer to keep your pet company! Any special requests, just ask:). I am very flexible!

“James is great!, quick response, friendly. He has a large yard for all our sweet furries 🐕🐾🦴 companions to enjoy. Lola said she'd be thrilled to go back spend time there again. Thanks you.”
“Wonderful, wonderful care! Ann is such a loving and caring pet sitter. She is thoughtful of each animal and gives her all! So grateful to have found her, and thankful that my dogs were well cared for during their stay!”
“Pamela was just what we needed for our senior lab. She provided wonderful care for over night boarding. We received frequent communication and the whole process was very smooth. Our pup enjoyed her stay and we would gladly use Pamela again”
“Sharon is a loving and considerate companion that kept our elderly dog Kuma happy and healthy while we were away. Her wonderful attention to his daily needs was outstanding. Kuma enjoyed every minute of the warm and loving care Sharon gave to him everyday. The pictures and videos showed how he loved Sharon and how happy he was. Sharon would be an excellent pet sitter for your pets and we would highly recommend her services.”
“I would give 10 stars if that was possible! Bear was in heaven with Caitlin and her family. He went on long walks every morning, went to the river, road in the car and chased chickens! I was actually concerned that he would not want to come home to us :) I cannot recommend her enough- especially if you have a golden! We will be using her again.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”
About: My first born child is my 9 year old Golden Luna. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. I’d love to help care for yours! I work from home full time and am flexible to be able to check in at your home, go for walks, or have them with me. I have a fenced in yard that is safe for pets and am happy to accommodate any needs you may have. Crates are welcome if needed.
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Sylvie and will definitely continue in the future. She took great care of our dog and sent us pictures every day. I would highly recommend her.”
“Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.”
“Mary was so wonderful with my boys! They’re usually really nervous around new people, but she made them feel so comfortable and took really good care of them. Mary sent me regular pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They seemed to have a great time at her place and got along well with her sweet dogs.”
About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
“Sara is awesome! Our dog Abby stayed with her over the weekend and had a blast. Sara was very communicative, sent photos and updates everyday. She is really sweet, attentive, and has a ton of experience which a huge bonus. She came to pick her up in the cutest doggy yellow bus, we really enjoyed the entire experience. We’ll be contacting her again for all future needs. We are so grateful that we found her!”
“Jen was very flexible and accommodating regarding our drop-off and pickup times; most importantly, she was so warm and loving toward our pup! He had a great time playing with her other dogs and snuggling up with the family. We felt very good about leaving him in her care, and will be back next time we have the chance to be in Highlands!”
“Carrie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and was great with communication! We received photos everyday. She and her family treated our pup like part of their family and she came home happy & healthy! We highly recommend Carrie and will definitely book with her again!”
“Tia is awesome! My pup’s first overnight and day camp went great. She sent lots of cute pics and the sweetest little write-up of how his stay went. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy with her, especially after getting to meet the other dogs and seeing how calm and loving she was in her interactions with all of them. We are so grateful that our dog has a safe and nurturing place to socialize, play, and tire himself out! We will definitely be back and he can’t wait 😊”
