“Amy was AMAZING! She accepted the booking pretty last minute and was so accommodating and flexible! My dogs are very anxious at new places but I can tell they were comfortable with Amy right away! Definitely recommend!!”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“High praise for availability, punctuality, care, activities, plus tons of photos during his stay. Kaitlyn receives my highest recommendation. Max just made some “BFF - best friends forever. He will be back. Again and again.. TF”
“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!”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
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.
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.
“Pamela is an excellent dog sitter. We trusted her to take care of our nervous and energetic adolescent pup for 2 weeks while we were traveling out of the country. Pamela took excellent care of our dog and kept us well informed. She took him on long walks multiple times a day. She really loves dogs and cares for them like they are her own.”
“Megan is such a wonderful dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through and when we picked up Penny, Megan gave us feedback on the stay and how everything went. Penny was obviously comfortable with her and now I know we have a knowledgeable, trustworthy person we can count on to care for our dog when we are out of town.”
“Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.”
“By the best dog sitter in the area! Will definitely use her again! I 100% felt my dogs were in caring hands while out of town. Carrie and her family provided a safe and happy environment for my 2 pups! Ten stars!!!”
“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!”

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.
“My kitty was in great hands with Leigh! She was extremely responsive and sent great pics. She went above and beyond and brought a package of mine inside which I so appreciate! Highly recommend.”
“Rebekkah did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was away! She was very communicative and sent me great pics and accommodated my unexpected travel plan changes.”
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.
About: There's nothing more enjoyable than going on an adventure with your four-legged bestie. Whether you want an easy stroll around the neighborhood or a hike on a local dog-friendly trail, I'm your dog walker. I've been a pet parent since the age of 4 - both cats and dogs - and currently have 3 rescue dogs - Stella Blue, Nutter Butter, and Ruby Sue. I owned a very successful dog walking company before moving to North Carolina. I also worked for PetSmart as a dog trainer, and I'm certified in dog CPR. I work primarily from home as a freelance writer, so my availability is rather flexible. But to ensure I meet the needs of all my clients, a little bit of notice when booking visits would be appreciated. I will give your doggies so many belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles that (hopefully) they won't miss you too much while you're out. I treat every client's dog as if it were my own fur baby.
“She is the best I’ve ever seen and I recommend her to anyone. Now I know where to take Gil when we go to casino. I love visiting this town-Bryson City. It is great. If u want to get anyone to sit or keep ur dog Michelle and Robbie are the best. I feel safe my dog is happy and having a blast.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our older kitty, Georgia Mae! She came to our home a bit early so that she could meet us and our Kitty. I was hesitant to have anyone watch our kitty, because yes, I’m an overprotective fur baby mama, and could not bring myself to put her in anyone’s care but my own. Let me tell you, letting go, and letting Kim take care of her was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Kim was so loving to Georgia Mae, she showed her caring and love of fur babies right away, and our Lil girl went right up to Kim in trust....great sign! I am already looking at other dates in the near future for Kim to again show her love for Georgia Mae, and sweet manner with myself and my husband. She is the best! Thank you Kim! Thank you Rover! We now have a wonderful new friend of our family!”
“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’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 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.”
“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 !”
About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

“Michelle was amazing! She sent me so many pictures and updates. Her pups were so sweet to my Gilli too. It was also really convenient her being right next to the train station. I would definitely book her again.”
“I contacted Amy short notice asking if she could watch Minnie for a few hours because I was going somewhere and couldn’t bring her with me (was visiting from out of town). She agreed to watch her immediately. I barely had to wait for a reply! We really appreciate Amy. She took good care of Minnie and even gave her a cute gift bag with treats.”
“Ms Mary was incredibly patient and loving with Rooster the 3 days she watched him. He was very nervous but she took the time to let him get comfortable, which made things so much easier and less stressful for both Rooster and I. Would recommend Ms Mary any day.”
“Amanda was perfect in every way and was able to accommodate our last minute plans. Mochie has a blast and will be back! Super convenient location and nice environment for dogs. Thanks Amanda”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Tracey was wonderful. I asked for last minute dog sitting after hotel check-out so we could spend time in Gatlinburg. She responded so quickly and was very friendly and helpful. She has a cozy house close to downtown so it was very convenient. She was very sweet to the dogs. Would definitely contact her if we are in town again.”

“Carrie was an awesome sitter for my pup Benny! She was very communicative & she kept me updated on his day along with pictures. My pup seemed to really enjoy his stay! I would definitely book again!”
“Zach was amazing! He watched our pup while our family enjoyed a day at Dollywood. He responded quickly even though it was last minute and late in the evening. His place is only 5 min away from Dollywood, and we were able to enjoy our time at the park knowing our pup was well cared for. We also especially appreciated that he brought his dog out front to do a calm meet and greet on leashes before they went inside. His dog was also very friendly and welcoming. When we decided that we were enjoying our time in the park and wanted to stay until close at 9pm, Zach assured us that he was fine with us coming later in the evening to pick up our pup. Overall a fantastic experience - thank you Zach!”
“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Danita gave us peace of mind to enjoy ourselves at an event where dogs were not allowed, by sending updates of our Jozey with pictures. Great communication and a very nice person! We would hire her again for sure. Thank you Danita!”

“I’m a little late adding this, as I’m still learning the Rover platform, but wanted to share our experience after the first couple of weeks working with Cheyenne. We hired Cheyenne through Rover to walk my parents’ dogs while my dad recovers from knee surgery, and we had a great experience right from the first two walks. Both Cheyenne and I are new to Rover, so it took a few tries, but we’re figuring it out together. Cheyenne was quick to respond when I first reached out and was flexible in adjusting her schedule for a meet and greet, which she initiated. That made getting everything set up feel easy from the start. I had originally scheduled two 60-minute walks for both dogs, but ended up needing to change it to just one dog. Our second dog is a new rescue Mountain Feist (about 25 pounds), and she wasn’t home for those first two walks. Cheyenne adjusted without any issues and was very accommodating. Our other dog a Retriever (about 40 pounds) took to her right away and clearly enjoyed the walks. She completed two full hour-long walks and sent updates and photos each time, which gave us peace of mind. For the second week, Cheyenne had some vacation plans come up, but she still made the effort to fit in one 60-minute walk before leaving. We really appreciated her willingness to work with our schedule and make sure our dog was taken care of. So far, she’s been reliable, easy to communicate with, and a great help during a time when we really needed it.”
“Leah has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and my dog loves her! She is always attentive, responsive, and on time. Getting updates about my pup from Leah is the best part of my workday! She always makes sure that she does all of her business and has fresh water which is so helpful with the long hours I work. Thank you Leah!”

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.
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: 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!
“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’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾

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. 🐾
“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”
“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.”

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 😊”
“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!”
“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”
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.
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.
“Pamela is an excellent dog sitter. We trusted her to take care of our nervous and energetic adolescent pup for 2 weeks while we were traveling out of the country. Pamela took excellent care of our dog and kept us well informed. She took him on long walks multiple times a day. She really loves dogs and cares for them like they are her own.”
“Megan is such a wonderful dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through and when we picked up Penny, Megan gave us feedback on the stay and how everything went. Penny was obviously comfortable with her and now I know we have a knowledgeable, trustworthy person we can count on to care for our dog when we are out of town.”
“Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.”
“By the best dog sitter in the area! Will definitely use her again! I 100% felt my dogs were in caring hands while out of town. Carrie and her family provided a safe and happy environment for my 2 pups! Ten stars!!!”
“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!”
“Telecia was very flexible for a pretty last minute arrangement. I received videos and pictures of my baby for check ins which was comforting. This was my first tome using a sitter in the 6 years I’ve had my dog and I will use her again.”
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.

“Absolutely awesome with our guy. Very personable and polite. Took great care of our pup and was a great communicator. Couldn’t find a better person to care for your furry family member. Would absolutely use again! Thanks for being awesome Zach!!!”
