“James family was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs over Thanksgiving. He texted us during our trip and the dogs were very happy and well cared for when we picked them up. They have several dogs of the same breed, and our dogs loved playing with them!”
“Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and kind. During my dog’s stay I received sweet photos with updates. My girl became fast friends with Nancy’s dog Chico and was happy when I picked her up. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“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!”
“Mary was the absolute best! My poor pup got 2 front paw injuries during our hike at the Appalachian trail. She came last minute to pick him up and care for him. She did such a great job that my pup came back very improved! I know he had a great time and is recommend for anyone and everyone to use Mary. She was so caring and sweet that I gave her hugs before leaving. Thank you Mary! You brought so much peace for me to complete my section hike of the trail!”
“Autumn has watched my boys even before she came to Rover and I still wouldn’t trust them with anyone. My boys love her and her kiddos. So I’m a repeat befor Rover and will be a lifer with Autumn💙💙”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“Great! We were in the area for an event and I was super nervous. Summer was so nice, took pictures, and kept me updated! Our puppy had a blast and loved Summer. If we are ever in the area again Summer will be the first person we ask to watch our pupper! ?”
“Ollie had the best time with Carrie and her 2 pups! Her yard was great for them to play and I felt super comfortable leaving him with her for the night. She was excellent at communicating and I will absolutely use her again!!”
“Amanda was great and took good care of my mom’s dog. My mom was in the hospital during this time and it was nice to not worry about her dog! Thank you Amanda! We hope to book with you again soon!”
“Bethany took such good care of our sheepadoodle Bunny while we were in town for a vacation. This was my first time using Rover and am so glad I did. She sent photos and updates on Bunny and made me feel so comfortable and I knew she was well taken care of. You can tell Bethany loves animals. Highly recommend her.”

About: I had the wonderful opportunity to have pets (the majority being doggos) since I was four! I truly just love being around animals! I sadly can’t have any animals in my residence now hence why I am here, I do want to say that I will do my very best to make sure any pets are well taken care of and loved when I am pet sitting! I am looking forward to future opportunities!! As of right now my schedule is pretty open, especially with summer coming up. Mornings especially but, we can always speak further about that when figuring outs dates that are needed for sitting. As of right now, when I visit back home to see my mom I help her with our two dogs, Sandra and Zeus. I also help out with our chicks. My biggest thing is just communicating, if there are specific ways an animal needs to be looked after I am very willing to help I just would prefer we talk about it extensively, as well as making a list of priorities for the pets.
“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”
“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.”
About: I have a love for all animals since I can remember. Especially dogs. 🐾 Having had dogs my entire life and getting my own girl named bella I rescued at 3 months old who had a beautiful long life passing a year ago. I know how to handle multiple dogs at once as i’ve watched 6 animals all together cats and dogs. I am very experienced in this. I have tended to medical needs, bathing, extra care for scared animals, walks with multiple dogs and more. I really am a natural caretaker to fur babies. I worked at a holistic pet store for a while and learned much about dog healthcare which benefited my dogs and other people's dogs lives I was able to give advice to. Walks, outside time, & play time is essential for your pup. And of course, treats if provided! I will go over each dogs needs prior to watching. I will treat your dog like my own and they will get immense love staying with me and bella. I usually also offer energy healing & massage if I notice the pup over can benefit. I currently work from home so am open and available to care for your fur baby and will be with them all the time! They will get so much care and love. I will be able to spend time with them play with them all day, walk them and make sure they eat on time. Really, they will be with me all the time. I set up a cozy space for everyone for sleeping time. They can also sun bath in our patio over looking beautiful pine trees.
“We really appreciate Cheyenne and she gave our dogs and chickens the attention they needed. Cheyenne's attention to detail and great communication helped us to feel that we could get away without any worries we highly recommend Cheyenne for dog walks and feeding and dog snuggles too. Our road is not in the best shape but she never complained and never missed a beat.”
About: I’ve owned cats my whole life and have done everything from bottle feeding kittens, helping administer vaccines, as well as scooping litter every single day. For many years me and my family fostered cats through Purr Partners and we took care of kittens as well as many spicy kitties. Additionally, throughout highschool I volunteered at SafeHaven for cats and visited their facility every weekend to help clean up cages, scoop litter, as well as play with any cats that needed socializing. Currently we own 10, some of which we adopted while fostering and a few of which we rescued ourselves. Overall, my cats bring me joy and I’d love to take care of other cats as well!
“I had an amazing experience with Sabrie. She sent plenty of photos and videos, which kept me totally at ease while I was away. She even brought in a package for me! Most importantly, she bonded so well with my cat, and I could tell he felt comfortable and cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“A few days before I was supposed to go up north to visit an old friend I began looking for a sitter on Rover.com. Not having used an online service before I didn't realize that I was trying to book at the "last minute." Johnna and Samuel graciously agreed to watch Gabi, my cat, with drop-in visits. Each day, true to their word, they sent me a photo and a written update of how Gabi was doing. I will unequivocally recommend Johanna and Samuel for their high level of care.”
“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.”
About: Feline friends and family need a special person who truly understands their unique moods and needs. Some cats love affection and snuggles, while others prefer their space — and that’s okay. I’ll be there to provide whatever care your cats require, whether it’s a gentle presence nearby or interactive play when they’re feeling energetic. From daily feeding and litter box maintenance to companionship and peace of mind, I treat your cats with patience, love, and understanding.

“Thanks for taking good care of Bogart and giving snacks to our chickens! The pictures were nice to receive each visit :) It’s nice to leave town and know your animals are well cared for.”
“Karmyn accepted feedback when it was shared, and met our pets needs. She learns their habits and made sure to see them at least once during each visit (scaredy cats!) thank you !”
“I can't say how happy I was to find Amanda! I am new to the area and finding a trusted sitter was such a relief. My kitties were happy, very well cared for, and mom and dad got to rest easy and know they were in good hands while we were away! Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have taken care of cats since adopting my own two cats at 8 years old. Since then, I have cared for senior kitties, young kittens, and cats in need of various medications. I am comfortable caring for cats with highly specialized care. I understand that many cats can experience stress while their owners are away so I go above and beyond to ensure that they are well cared for.

“The most incredible dog oasis I have found to date. James and his family treated Kuzy like one of their own and Kuzy has never been happier. The consistent updates and flexibility went a long way to making me feel comfortable with Kuzy being there throughout. Deeply and truly thankful to have found them!”
“Amanda took great care of Benji and Stella! They had a blast playing with Cleo. They were happy and tired when we picked them up. Amanda is a natural with dogs--I would definitely recommend boarding your dog(s) with her when you are in the Smokies and want to do a long hike, because the park does not allow dogs.”

“Just picked up my pup from a day with Tracey while we went to Dollywood. She’s happy and tired and even though she’s normally a “Velcro dog” who never wants to be away from us, I can see that she had a great afternoon. I’d absolutely leave her with Tracey again if we come back this way.”
“Carrie and her two dogs were great with our dog Casper! Also this was the first time using Rover and Cassie helped us through the process. Very comforting knowing that we have someone we can trust while we have to take care of other things. We are already planning our next visits!”
“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: Hello! I'm a passionate animal lover, and I'd be delighted to care for your beloved pets while you're away, whether it's for a weekend, a vacation, or regular visits throughout the year.

If needed, I can also bring in your mail and water your plants during my visits. Before moving to the United States a little over a year ago, I earned a French certification in companion animal care (dogs and cats), which strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior and responsible care.

About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.
“Zach came through for us when booking the evening before going to Dollywood for the day. Zach was very accommodating and both my small dogs greeted me with wagging tails upon pickup so I believe they had a good day. My Chihuahua didn’t get along with his dog at first greeting (my Chi fault) and Zach was able to keep his dog and my dogs separated. I definitely recommend Zach for any furbabies.”

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.
About: I am a college student at WCU! And since I was a little girl I have cared for animals and my heart grows bigger for them each day!

I have volunteered at many animal shelters and have walked plenty of dogs (including my teachers) on campus! I am currently working part time, my schedule is very flexible. I can care for pets most mornings and evening, and several mid days a week! Every client is different, I understand you have certain rules for your babies and I am more than willing to listen to them! Need your baby to walk for 40 minutes? Let’s get our walk in! Need the little one in a crate when I leave? More than happy to!

“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”

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!
About: I have over 15 years experience in working in the veterinary field. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of shade and room to run around. I have a bigger house so if your animal isn’t a big fan of being outdoors then they’re more then welcome to just hang out indoors. My dogs are very friendly and love making new friends. Your baby will have their own space for night time or a crate if that’s preferred. I have 3 different cat trees for my cats to use if you need a cat sitter. Your cat can be left in their own room at my house if needed as well. I work part time when needed and have plenty of time to take care of all of your pet needs. I love being outside and can take your pet for a long walk when needed or just a short visit to feed. Whatever is needed! I have a fenced in back yard and big comfy living room for down time. I have a crate if needed and lots of room to run and play.
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
About: Have had pets my entire life, bred multiple reptiles in the past, have had several dogs over the years, exotics, still have a 23 year old african grey who is my middle child who won't leave the nest, spent a decade volunteering at a no-kill shelter, multiple animal rescues, have worked in multiple veterinary offices, been vegetarian since 1997, worked as a vegan chef in several restaurants, and still love to cook for potlucks, friends and fun! I'm currently just working a few days a week in a restaurant, no other commitments. Plus it's the longest I've ever been without companion animal of my own, so I have extra time and love to give at the moment. Will follow the owners instructions to the tee, and more often than not spend additional time when possible. I'm currently without pets of my own which is rare for me, so I have an ample amount of attention and care to spare!
“Sarah was great! Very kind and great communication. Loved seeing all the pictures she took of Enzo on his walk. He always looked so happy! Sad she’s leaving the state for a few months but definitely looking forward to working with her again when she returns.”

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. :)

“James family was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs over Thanksgiving. He texted us during our trip and the dogs were very happy and well cared for when we picked them up. They have several dogs of the same breed, and our dogs loved playing with them!”
“Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and kind. During my dog’s stay I received sweet photos with updates. My girl became fast friends with Nancy’s dog Chico and was happy when I picked her up. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

She did such a great job that my pup came back very improved! I know he had a great time and is recommend for anyone and everyone to use Mary. She was so caring and sweet that I gave her hugs before leaving. Thank you Mary! You brought so much peace for me to complete my section hike of the trail!”

“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.”
“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 😊”
“Ollie had the best time with Carrie and her 2 pups! Her yard was great for them to play and I felt super comfortable leaving him with her for the night. She was excellent at communicating and I will absolutely use her again!!”

“Bethany took such good care of our sheepadoodle Bunny while we were in town for a vacation. This was my first time using Rover and am so glad I did.

About: I have been caring for my own animals since I was a child. Additionally, I have extensive animal care experience through working with family, friends, and other clients. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether caring for energetic puppies, adult dogs, or senior pets, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel at home. I understand the special needs of young puppies, including potty breaks, basic routine reinforcement, and plenty of supervised play. For senior dogs, I provide gentle care, patience, medication support (if needed), and a calm environment that helps them stay comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to treat every dog like family, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, affection, and care they deserve while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work and live at GTR Adventures, which is a side-by-side rental company in Bryson City, NC. I am here full time everyday so I can give your dog all the attention and care they could possibly need while also sending photo updates and more. I have a massive fenced in patio where the dogs can hang out, I also have a fenced in area in the backyard where they can go to the bathroom/play. If I am ever going inside my house I’ll bring the dogs in with me. I can easily take your dog for a walk whenever aswell.
