“Kristine is an excellent Rover sitter! She is incredibly reliable and professional. Kristine responded quickly to messages. She provided reports with photos for each and every drop-in visit that she was scheduled to make. As a bonus, she provided helpful advice on managing the older cat's arthritis. Both cats were comfortable with Kristine from the moment she arrived. They loved being cared by her and appreciated the attention she provided.”
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
“Frances took wonderful care of our pets! Despite my own lack of organization on day one, she still came by to make sure they were taken care of. I’m so thankful for her flexibility, reliability, and kindness. We truly appreciate her!”
“Mason was great- highly recommend! She was so prompt in answering my request and all my messages. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing Penny was in good hands. She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“She did such a great job and went above and beyond!!! When I had an issue with wildlife critters getting in the pet door, she went there and checked on everyone right away!!! All of my cats that are normally antisocial love her!!!”
“We had never used a stranger to keep out two cats. Amanda came for a meet and greet prior to staying with tiger and panther. After that we were no longer strangers. Amanda likes all animals. She sent updates and photos. We will call Amanda next time we go out of town!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my cat and home while I was out of town! She maintained great communication throughout my time away and made my cat feel very comfortable. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Ashley was amazing! She got my little guy to come out of his shell and exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to have found someone trustworthy to check in on my cat while I am away.”
“Alexis made sure our baby was eating while we were on vacation and was very personable! I appreciate her ability for a last minute booking during the holidays as well! Honestly the best experience especially for our first time using Rover!”

I feed my pets every day and maintain their waters. I also take them on walks every day and am experienced with walking them. I don’t discipline my dogs, only reward them.
“Elizabeth was such a delight and godsend for us. She was very attentive to the needs of the pets, and showed care like they were her own. She is patient, and goes above and beyond with communication. We are very happy with finding her, definitely recommend her, and will be using her again. Welcoming someone into your home is always a bit anxiety inducing, but she made us feel very comfortable and confident to leave our precious animals in her care.”
About: As a kid we always had indoor and outdoor cats. As an adult we have elderly dogs who are not cat friendly but when we purchased our home, a cat came with it. The cat is dog smart and we are very careful about having them outside together. The cat is an outdoor cat but has his own “home” areas on our front and back deck.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As a dog owner myself, I know that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing and getting extra attention, I strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide regular photo and message updates, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and work to maintain your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. I value reliability, communication, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care during their stay. I prioritize safety, routine, and a low-stress environment for every pet. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and respect while in my care.
“Holly did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Buddy, while I attended a special event in Union Mills. From the beginning, she was extremely responsive and offered helpful suggestions to make Buddy feel more comfortable, especially since he suffers from separation anxiety. I was concerned about how he would cope, as he typically howls, pants, and shakes until I come home. Holly was very kind and gentle with Buddy, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She kept me updated on how Buddy was doing throughout the evening and even sent me a few sweet photos, which helped put my mind at ease. I feel confident recommending Holly to anyone in need of care for their pet!”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of dogs for my friends and family. In 2019, I adopted my rescued fur baby Bobby, and in 2020, I adopted my beautiful girl Bella. They have been the great addition to our family. I'm very reliable, responsible, loving and caring for your pet and love to give cuddles and kisses to your fur baby. I currently work from home different days where I can give care to your loved one and enjoy time together. I can have my little one play together with yours. Whatever makes you more comfortable, I respect that, and will always give my best care and love to your loved one. I have a small patio where your dog can take some sun and air, play with my Bobby and enjoy the beautiful view. I also have a doggy park nearby where we can go and play.

“We were initially apprehensive about leaving our anxious pup at doggie daycare, but upon meeting Jaren, our worries melted away. Their fenced-in, lush green yard, complete with a variety of dog toys, immediately reassured us. We were warmly greeted by their adorable mini Aussie Shepherd, Bowie, who quickly became fast friends with our dog, Dale. Meeting Ann and their other two friendly doggies only reinforced the welcoming atmosphere. The easygoing nature of the household made drop-offs and pick-ups effortless. Dale returned home pleasantly tired from a day of play, without feeling overwhelmed.”

“I would give Autumn and Josh 10 stars if I could!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not only did they do a great job with my pet, but they were quick to answer, and followed every request to accommodate my Gypsy's visit down to the most minute detail. They sent me 2 pictures in the short time she was there and went above and beyond to make her feel at home! I would highly recommend them!! ♥️♥️”
“I needed a sitter last minute, and Julie accepted our sweet Luna with open arms. Excellent communication, I immediately felt confident Luna would be in caring and safe care, and Julie was super flexible. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: My name is Mac Graf and my husband and I live right outside Hendersonville, NC. I am a certified and licensed athletic trainer and am the Director of Sports Medicine as my full-time job. I work 90% of my job from home, and would love to help take the stress off your work day by allowing your fur family to hangout with me and my family for the day. I take my work seriously whether that be with my patients or with my fur friends. I fostered dogs throughout undergrad to give me more experience and make a change in an animal's life. I ended up adopting one of my foster dogs in 2020 and it was the best decision i've ever made! I rescued another dog in February of 2023, so I have lots of personal dog experience. I understand that having a dog is not just having a pet, but it is another family member. I treat them as such. With my experience as a foster, and being a pet owner myself - I know that I am responsible and loving towards all animals. I would love nothing more than to help take the stress off other dog owners, and help take care of them when needed. Since my job is 90% remote work, I have the flexibility to take my dogs on a walk or play outside in the fenced in area of our home multiple times a day. Throughout the work day they go outside multiple times - usually with a longer walk at the end of my work day. I ask the person I am dog sitting for what they want, and I always accommodate to whatever makes my client feel most comfortable with! We have two baby gates at home, so if we ever need to separate dogs in our home, we have the ability to do so. I always will be respectful of my clients and whatever their wishes are.
About: I have been caring for pets for over 20 years. I have looked after both dogs and cats during that time. I look forward to caring for your pet! I have a very flexible schedule and can drop in anytime throughout the day to care for your pet. Morning, afternoon, and evening times all work with my schedule. I can complete visits within my area safely, and complete pet walking services where needed. I’m flexible with location and the services that are needed.
“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My dog has separation anxiety and loved his old doggy daycare back in our old town. I had trouble finding a daycare here when I moved that he liked and that fit with my schedule. We're so lucky we stumbled on Ryan. She has super flexible hours so I can stay late at the office if needed. She has all sorts of animals so Ludo is never lonely. She's also a retired vet tech so she has plenty of experience with all kinds of animals. Ludo barely even notices when I walk out her door to leave him for the day, and that's HUGE.”
About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and pet care for over 15 years.

I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs like my own Border Collie mix, Reaver. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making them feel safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I treat every dog like family. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals and training positive behaviors. 🐾 Your pet will receive loving care, attention, patience, and lots of affection with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and stress free while their owners are away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is extremely important to me. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including active breeds like my own dog, Reaver. My background as the founder of Shopypaws also taught me a lot about pet wellness, behavior, and positive care practices.

About: I have been caring for fur babies for half my life. I love getting to know every individual, their personalities and little quirks. Small, big, young or old I love them all. I have worked with clients assisting in puppy training, administering medication when needed or offering special care to our more senior pets. I have also owned and/or worked with birds, fish, small caged animals, poultry and horses. Our animals are at the heart of our homes. I am here to provide loving care to those hearts or yours. I currently work part time remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available morning, noon and night and can easily work with your timetable. I am not currently offering boarding or overnight care at this time. I am available for drop in visits and walks whenever needed. If transportation is needed to get to a place for exercise like a park or trail I can accommodate that as well.

About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon and Greer areas. I am currently taking the summer off from working in healthcare full time. Until then, I am working in the hospitality industry and my schedule is rather flexible- leaving plenty of time to care for your furry ones! ***For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time.*** I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.
About: I have experience in dog training with all ages and sizes. I also have experience with horses and exotic animals. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.

I work full time Monday - Friday and usually get home about 6pm. I am available evenings, overnights and weekends to pet sit or provide drop-ins and dog walks.

I provide attentive supervision during visits and keep pets engaged with appropriate play, feeding, and rest based on their needs. I’m also happy to provide frequent check-ins with photos and updates on mealtimes, playtime, and naps. If there are any additional requests or special instructions, I’m glad to accommodate them to ensure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life with many cats in between. I have had the pleasure of sitting dogs and cats all over the country, including house sits in California, Oregon, Washington, and now North Carolina. I have experience with young puppies, as well as elderly dogs with a plethora of health problems; I also have experience with big dogs like German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and Rottweilers, to teacup Pomeranians, spitz, and many more. I have been told I’m very high energy and fun, and the animals I have looked after always seem to pick up on that great energy and can’t wait to hang out. :) I sell vintage clothing, so being self employed allows me to better accommodate to all the needs of the animals. In our own home, our dog Endo is the King. He gets to enjoy long daily walks amidst the beauty of DuPont forest, swims in the lake behind our house, and nightly fresh cooked meals. My services on house sits include obviously feeding and general care of the animals, as well as promptly following specific dietary regimens and health requirements of every animal. I have cared for very old dogs that needed assistance in bowel movements as well as simple motivation for stubborn dogs that don’t like to walk. I have also looked after countless plants and hot tubs, ensuring proper watering and chlorination.
About: I’ve owned some kind of dog or cat all my life. From 150lbs to 20lbs, then down to cat sizes! We currently have a 15 year old Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. I am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old, I am available regularly and on the go. Some notice is great but can usually make myself available asap! We have 5 acres in the country and a decent sized fenced area for dogs. Sadie loves getting her freedom of being outdoors while also being safe. They are also taken on walks regularly and I have experience with dogs who don’t get along with cats so it’s always a priority to make sure your pet is safe.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets, I bring a deep passion and commitment to every animal I look after. I previously owned and operated a pet sitting business and have extensive experience caring for special needs pets, including blind and handicapped dogs. I've also volunteered with the Humane Society and local animal shelters for years doing transport and fostering dogs further enriching my understanding of animal care. I have excellent references from the directors and board members of the shelters where I volunteered. I am compassionate, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving, capable hands I am available to walk dogs or do visits every day or evening . I am also available for boarding up to two dogs at my House. I have a fenced in yard and have extra wiring around the bottom for small dogs. I never let pets in the back yard without standing out there with them. I have 4 friendly dogs and a cat who thinks he’s a dog.
About: With over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide dependable, attentive care you can truly feel confident in. I grew up with dogs and began professionally pet sitting at a young age for family, friends, and neighbors. What started as helping loved ones quickly became something I genuinely love and take pride in. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs and pets with special needs. I have experience administering oral medications, monitoring behavior changes, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs structured walks, enrichment activities, calm companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and secure while you are away. I am a full-time college student with a flexible schedule and also work with long-term clients outside of Rover. Because I value providing attentive, unrushed care, I do ask for advance notice whenever possible. I am typically available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the booking. If you have specific timing needs please reach out, I’m happy to coordinate when possible. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the highest level of respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain cleanliness, and ensure your home remains secure. You will receive consistent updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether your pet requires medication, extra patience, structured exercise, or quiet reassurance, I focus on creating a stable and comforting experience.

“Megan was available last minute after having trouble getting a sitter. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. Our boy came back happy & tired. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you!”
“We've been using Michelle for a couple years now, and I have the utmost trust in her and her family with our pup! Ludo always comes back happy and healthy, and it's clear by the updates and pics we receive that he has a fantastic time! Highly, highly recommend!”
“You know your dog is happy with your sitter when you go the next time and he pulls on his leash to get into her house! We are so happy with Shawna’s care of Rufus while we were away. Also we were very thankful she noticed a hotspot under his armpit and got him well on the way to recovery before we returned. Rufus will definitely be back! 😊”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.
“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.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“We felt completely at ease on our trip knowing that our dogs were being well cared for in her home. She truly loves what she does and is extremely conscientious. She and Cole really make a great team and were so caring in treating our dogs like their very own. Also, excellent communication...we just couldn't have asked for a better experience!!”
“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Tara is dependable, she loves animals. Great communication, always quick to respond. My pup was very happy there, I've received updates about my dog's stay, he had lots of fun.”
“It was my first time using the Rover App . Kashawna was very quick and responsive, answered all my questions that I had. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and she took great care of my sweet allie. I enjoyed receiving the several pictures she sent !”
“Maggie so enjoyed her visit with Christina! Maggie has been an indoor city girl in Florida her entire life. This was her first time having the run of a yard. Christina’s yard is huge with lots of trees and things to climb on/through. Her Boxer Bandit and Maggie became buddies right away. Christina was the perfect hostess. Maggie’s 3-day stay could not have been better. I highly recommend her and Maggie will definitely visit again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Leslie was fantastic; so you know, I gave her 5 stars. She sent regular updates via text about my dogs. She incorporated them into her life and did a great job. Clearly they were happy to see me when I got home, but just as evidently they had enjoyed their time with Leslie. I plan to use her again and I would recommend her services to anybody who is looking for some great pet-sitting. Thank you Leslie!”
