Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fontana Village
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fontana Village
“Have never used Rover before but I have to say I am a believer!!! Rachel and Cody were super easy to deal with. I have 2 older dogs and one 1-1/2 year old pit that has been fixed but still “wired for sound” and very needy. They came and picked up all three dogs, beds, food, treats, and instructions and delivered them back which was the best money I have ever spent! They took the anxiety away from me to leave them somewhere they have never been. Found out they live very close to us and it was just a total stress free event. Absolutely highly recommend!!!!🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Gracie loves to go to Viviana Brian’s! She gets to play with other pups and we feel great leaving her where we know she is in good hands. They have a fenced in yard with plenty of acreage to run and explore. She sends us photos of her running and playing daily so we know she is having fun. We are booking them again for our trip to Scotland in the fall. Thank you, Viviana and Brian, for taking wonderful care of Gracie!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica helped so much! She was so attentive to Cleo, and you can tell Cleo absolutely adores her and her family ☺️ She provided pictures and updates everyday! I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out!”
“Elizabeth was the most lovely dog-sitter for our 2 English Springer Spaniels!! It felt like we were leaving them with a family friend. She let us do a meet and greet to answer any questions beforehand, and she was attentive to their unique needs all throughout their stay. Drop off/pick up was easy, and bonus - her home is v close to the airport. Our dogs are our babies, so it feels so good to know they were safe and happy at Camp Elizabeth! They especially loved their walks with her along the greenway. Elizabeth is a true dog lover - her thoughtful care of our babies gave us peace of mind. Her partner also enjoyed lots of love from our silly noodle pups. Excited to book another stay with her for our next trip!”
“Maddie was great! I am very particular where I board my dog, and not a big fan of large boarding facilities. Maddie’s place takes up to 10 dogs at a time so I know he is being watched well. Additionally, my dog had some special drinking instructions and she follow through on it. I would use her again to watch my fur child!”
“Cassandra did a great job with my dog and he enjoyed his time!! She is very timely in her responses and is sure to send plenty of pictures! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Leeann is fantastic! We are so lucky to have found her. Indy absolutely loved being there with other Rover friends and the farm animals. She will definitely be our go to sitter when we go out of town.”
“April was amazing! We liked her the first time we met her! Bandit was treated so well! Bandit is an older dog and had some issues while he stayed with her! She handled them like a champ! She also gave him his medications! We would highly recommend April to anyone that needs pet care! 🐾”
“Tami was amazing with Maple. She was so welcoming, sent us daily updates and was just more than we could have asked for. We actually ended up having car trouble on the way to pick up Maple and she kept her while we were at the mechanic get our van fixed. Would highly recommend”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“Reah is awesome! Our boy loves hanging out with her and her family. She sends pictures and keeps us updated. We couldn’t be more pleased and will be using her services again for sure!”
“We prayed about our dogs safety, comfort and care while we were gone during spring break. Meghan has been God’s good gift to us and our pup! So happy to have found a great caregiver and home!”
About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.
“Jane was very sweet with our pups! She communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent us updates which I really appreciated! We would definitely have her keep our dogs again!”
“Kelley was very patient and caring with my two cats. It was a long stay and they were very shy at the start. She kept them safe and took care of their needs. She gave good updates on their progress and eventually gained their trust for some good pictures and belly rubs. I would recommend Kelley for boarding your pets. She does a great job!”
“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 😊”
“We were very pleased with Dana, she sent pics of Bailey and kept us informed on how he was doing, from the pics that she sent to us, Bailey looked right at home and happy. Dana and her family took excellent care of our Bailey. We will definitely rebook with Dana if she’d love to have him back!”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“We could not have dreamed of a better place for Reese to stay while we traveled! From our initial Meet and Greet, we could see that Reese already had made good friends. We received daily updates on how our girl was doing, along with photos and videos, giving us peace of mind, knowing she was having the best time in a great home!”

“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.”
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fontana Village
“We’re so glad it worked out with Lady to be watched at Danita’s for multiple days of daycare while I was away on a work trip and my boyfriend was working. She has abandonment issues and gets really stressed when left alone and can’t be crated either due to past trauma, so we’re thankful to leave her in Danita’s care. Will be booking again!”
“Rachel was so helpful taking care of my sweet puppy even when he wasn’t feeling his greatest the day she had him! She gave regular updates and even offered son advice to help remedy his upset tummy! She is fantastic!”
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“Maddie was fantastic with our dog as we were passing through town on our honeymoon! Communicated well the entire time and was amazing with our shy dog. Thank you maddie for everything!”
About: Caring for animals has been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of experience as both a pet owner and sitter. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support. What sets me apart is the home and environment I provide— Our little farm offers space to explore, a secure fenced yard for safe play, and the love of my entire family. With three children who adore animals, every pet gets an abundance of cuddles, companionship, and supervision. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 85% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are treated like part of our family. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, experienced in administering medications, and happy to accommodate special diets or crate training if preferred. Our home is filled with love, supervision, and plenty of cozy spots for relaxation so your pet feels secure and happy.
“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”
“Great, super easy to work with sitter! She accepted my booking even though drop off was only 12 hours away which was so helpful after another sitter last minute canceled. She also let me change the pickup time last minute which was so appreciated! She sent pics and played with Mo and was just a super easy and great experience! 10/10 recommend for sure! Very nice home and nice neighborhood and just overall great experience!”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.

About: Hello! Thanks for checking in! I would be glad to help care for your furry family member 🐶❤️🐈. A little about me--I have had a love for animals since I was young, and I find that I have always felt most at home surrounded by our furry, four-footed family over the years. We have had animals all my life, and we have raised several breeds of dogs including Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel, Blue and Red Heelers, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Boxer, Standard Poodles, Great Pyranees, and many more loveable mixed breeds. I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 5 years old. They were always like family to me, and I have many years of experience of their care and basic command training for puppies using positive reinforcement. I have experience caring for sick and senior dogs as well as every canine that has come into our family has found their forever home and lived out their fullest lives possible. If your pup needs some freshening up, a haircut, or a pedicure, I can help with that. I am a professional pet stylist and member of the NDGAA. I have continued education through NDGAA workshops and worked full-time at a pet salon for a few years while also grooming my own dogs, Standard Poodles, their whole lives (14 years.) I can bathe or groom your dog or trim their nails if needed. I currently work part-time, and I have quite a bit of extra time to care for your pups and kitties. Wednesdays and Sundays are our busiest days, so I will not be able to offer pickup on those days, but the other days are open. I have a fenced yard, and I will leash your dog on walks for extra care. They are free to be downstairs in my home with me and our family, and I will kennel for their safety when and if we leave the home for short errands. For pet care in their home, I can take on walks, let outside into fenced yard, feed, water, and bathe/groom the dogs or trim nails if needed. I also have trained several puppies basic commands using clicker-training and positive reinforcement.

“We’re so attached to River that he only ever stays with us or at his “home sitter’s “ house. While camping near BlueRidge we decided to take the scenic train. Pets aren’t allowed. We found Judy with 5 stars and rave reviews and we are so thankful we did! She took him hiking and loved on him and he did very well. We were anxious to get a sitter in an area we didn’t know anyone. Now we have a wonderful sitter when we come back to the area. Judy sent pictures and let us know River was doing well! I 100% recommend!!”

We don’t have a super set schedule, but things always get done. Although, if I’m given a schedule I will follow it to a T! I can do whatever you/your pet is comfortable with, apart from off leash walks, because I cannot be held responsible for a dog not recalling. But whether that be crating while leaving them, taking them outside in a fenced yard, or taking them on leashed walks varying in length, I am ready to car for your pet!
