“James and Amy are true animal lovers who truly care about pets! I could tell I made the right decision when I chose them after his first communication with me. I had no doubt Sumo was in good hands…I think they loved him and he got the greatest care! They even gave Sumo his medication and kept us updated on how he was doing. These folks are a definite 5 stars…thank you so much, James and Amy!”
“Kaitlyn was fabulous! She sent multiple pictures daily with notes on the various activities with our dog, Abby. The stay was 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Abby was having a great time! We will be returning to Kaitlyn to care for Abby in the future!!”
“Autumn was great. Our dogsitter fell through last minute and Autumn stepped in to fill the gap. She communicated daily with updates and photos, and was very accomdating about pick up and drop off time adjustments. My senior (nearly blind) lab was happy upon my return.”
“Amanda is so sweet and thoughtful. Her dog Cleo is a cutie pie and did very well with our Golden Retriever during overnight boarding. Great communication. Hope to use her services again in the future. Recommend highly!”
“Nancy looked after my Nova and took great care of her. She provided updates and photos and I know she was in good hands and great company with her other dogs. I’d totally recommend her! Thank you Nancy for taking such good care of Nova!!”
“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.”
“Savanah is a wonderful dog sitter! From the moment we met for our meet and greet I knew we picked the right person. She is kind, patient, fun and had lots of treats for our sweet Banjo! We got pictures and updates every day we were gone. Highly recommended!”
“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 😊”
“Bethany is wonderful and so thoughtful!! My pup loves staying with her so much that sometimes he ignores me when he gets home...like he's mad that I came to get him!! Lol. That's a good feeling to know he loves her so much!!”
“Excellent care! Lisa and her husband were fabulous with Buffalo. They kept me updated throughout my trip and provided lots of photos. Will use these two next time I go out of town!”
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’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me.

Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled.

At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets.

“Telecia was a wonderful sitter for our girl. Our dog can be anxious when we are apart from her and Telecia made sure she was comfortable and having fun, and she was quick to respond and flexible. Even when our travel plans were changed last second due to weather, Telecia was flexible and accommodating.”
“Blaise was able to take care of me at a last minute reservation sent pictures and videos of my dog having fun and playing around was constantly updated he took very good care of her I highly recommend him”

“Michelle is amazing! My 10 year old chihuahua really enjoyed his stay with her. She is very loving and caring for all animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“If I could give 10 Stars, I would!!! Megan is the best…period. She communicates very well, my dog adores her, she’s diligent about bringing him outside for exercise, and she’s been unbelievably flexible! I will use her again and again and again!!”
“Our dog normally exhibits some separation anxiety but when we left him to board with Summer he adjusted well. Her family gave him plenty of attention and he enjoyed playing with their dog. The photo updates and good night messages were very thoughtful. I appreciated the communication since our dog is not often out of our sight. I have full confidence in Summer and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Rebekkah was very accommodating to a last minute schedule change! We feel so relieved going out of town knowing our kitties have a familiar face coming to check on them! Thank you again!!”
“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.”
“Very thorough and communicative sitter! I can’t express how relieved I felt with Emily caring for my cat Boxcar while I was away. It was a night and day difference. So many amazing photos and she even administered his topical flea medicine! I 100% will be looking to book with her again in the future and highly recommend her! <3”
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.
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!
“We came to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, but didn't want to leave our four Shelties unattended in our RV at the campground. I found Amanda on Rover and contacted her about booking a visit. She was so easy to work with. She came over to our RV the day before her scheduled appointment to meet us and get acquainted with our dogs. On the day of our train trip, she showed up right on sent lots of photos and a complete report on our drugs and her visit. 5 stars for Amanda!”
“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.”

“Carole is incredible! She took great care of our pups, taking pictures of them and leaving us notes for each drop in visit letting us know they were doing great! She was very kind, easy to reach, and showed up to each visit. We appreciated how easy it was to work with her. Thanks for taking care of our dogs and even giving our cat some love!”
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.
“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.”

“James took great care of our boy for the day! This was my first time using River for doggy daycare, and it went very smoothly. We received pictures and updates throughout the day which was wonderful to come back to once we got service returning from our hike. Would recommend whether you live here or are visiting the area!”
“Michelle had a last minute emergency but she was very accommodating and still allowed us to drop our dog off and her husband looked after him. She was constantly sending me updated and photos that he was taking and Busch seemed like he had a great day!”
“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!!”
“My pups had a great day with Megan. They are nappy after having a yard to run and play. Megan is great about staying in contact with pictures and responsive to my texts. I am already booking future dates of fun.”

“I’m a hard grader. Especially when it comes to how someone looks after my dog. Pamela was fantastic. Was ready when we arrived, professional, interested in the habits/behaviors of my pup, and sent many encouraging messages letting us know that our Sunshine was happy and healthy. All you really need, right? Highly recommend, and again, I don’t hand out stars for basic job performance. Pamela really was outstanding! A true “Five Star” sitter.”

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.
About: I've raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I'm familiar with them at all stages, ages, and sizes with basic or special needs (medication, extra snuggles, house rules, etc.). I'm also skilled with caring and training pups! All my dogs have been raised and trained through positive behavior, so I'm ready to help train your sweet babies! Also, my previous soul-dog, Duck, experienced long-term healthcare needs and emergencies, all of which were handled with absolute care, precision, and peace to cause less stress on him. I'm familiar with medication regimens and adapting to an animal's needs. As for cats, I have two of my own that I love dearly! I'm here to provide any care they need as well including snuggles, treats, and playtime. I'm available every day for check-ins and walks. I have room in my schedule for two regular clients, but I'm always open to talk about whether I can fit your pet into my schedule! As the owner of a rambunctious pup, I understand the value of rules! If visiting or staying in your home, I'll obey all house rules for myself and your pet. I clean up after myself and your pup as well as crate them, treat them, or whatever else they need. I'm also happy to send update pictures of your fur-baby.

I’ve helped take care of many animals over the years and am comfortable with feeding schedules, bathing, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

I travel to owners home, I try not to bring other animals to my home due to me having very energetic dogs that don’t get along well with others.

About: **Notice** Right now I'm only able to service Bryson City and parts of whittier. No bad driveways due to vehicles I have experience with animals of all kinds. I love them all. I previously worked at an animal shelter for 6 yrs. My dogs have all been trained. I absolutely love spending time with animals. Their care and well being comes first. I have worked with obedience trainers in the past and usually when im on a walk with a dog im not just walking them im usually incorporating obedience work with the walk. Positive reinforcement is how i train. I try to make my time with the animals fun and exciting. I dont want the dog to be bored and miss their owners while they are away. I want them to be happy and comfortable with me. I go above and beyond to make their sitting experience the best. I currently work another full time job so I try to keep my calendar updated on the days I'm available. Sometimes I can do drop in visits after work if that helps. I am not currently caring for pets in my home due to the amount of rescues I have at the moment. But I am still doing drop ins and walks

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.

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 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: My whole life has revolved around my passion and love for animals. From volunteering at my local animal shelter, working at luxury pet resorts to working on a Farm I have had experience with animals of all sizes. In the future I hope to become a certified dog trainer and I am already on my way to it. I am dog and cat CPR certificated. I have years of experience caring for all sizes and age groups of pets. I personally have two dogs that get to go to the park and do training daily. I personally feel like enrichment for animals is one of the most important part of pet care in a day. I strive myself to be able to give all of the animals I take care of mental and physical enrichment daily. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of work to care for my own pets, as well as others pets to my best ability. My main priority for pet care is making sure the pet is safe, happy and healthy. I also want to make sure that pet parents are comfortable with the approaches I use and the incentives given to the animals. I want the pet care I provide to be a happy and mutually beneficial experience for both the animals and the parents.

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: I've had and taken care of my own dogs ranging from Great Danes to chihuahuas and everything in between, I would go to friends and family members house just to play with the animals. I love providing care and love to any furbaby near me!! I'm currently available at all times Sunday-Fridays to care for your furbaby, if needed I'm here whenever, I do have my own at home so I can't provide in home care but am happy to come take care of them or take them on adventures More then happy to come keep your dog company and let it out for potty breaks and make sure it's behaving 😉 Would love to spend the day with your fur child
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!
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.

“James and Amy are true animal lovers who truly care about pets! I could tell I made the right decision when I chose them after his first communication with me. I had no doubt Sumo was in good hands…I think they loved him and he got the greatest care! They even gave Sumo his medication and kept us updated on how he was doing. These folks are a definite 5 stars…thank you so much, James and Amy!”
“Autumn was great. Our dogsitter fell through last minute and Autumn stepped in to fill the gap. She communicated daily with updates and photos, and was very accomdating about pick up and drop off time adjustments. My senior (nearly blind) lab was happy upon my return.”

“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.”
“Savanah is a wonderful dog sitter! From the moment we met for our meet and greet I knew we picked the right person. She is kind, patient, fun and had lots of treats for our sweet Banjo! We got pictures and updates every day we were gone. Highly recommended!”
“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 😊”
“Bethany is wonderful and so thoughtful!! My pup loves staying with her so much that sometimes he ignores me when he gets home...like he's mad that I came to get him!! Lol. That's a good feeling to know he loves her so much!!”
“Excellent care! Lisa and her husband were fabulous with Buffalo. They kept me updated throughout my trip and provided lots of photos. Will use these two next time I go out of town!”
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.
“Telecia was a wonderful sitter for our girl. Our dog can be anxious when we are apart from her and Telecia made sure she was comfortable and having fun, and she was quick to respond and flexible. Even when our travel plans were changed last second due to weather, Telecia was flexible and accommodating.”
