“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”


“Jharasen was great! She took our 2 pups on short notice and saved my behind! Great communication and very nice, I'll be back in AVL again and will call her in the future”

“Absolutely amazing! I loved the pictures and updates. Rocky was well taken care of, and the family is so sweet. They even sent home a Christmas present for him. Absolutely great, we will definitely book with them again!”

“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”

“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”

“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Toni is fantastic. She went over and above to make sure that our senior dog had the best care - giving her meds and lots of extra snuggles. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend Toni!”
“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat. She was great giving us multiple updates and sending pics as well as going above and beyond to keep Thor comforted with attention until we returned! I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”

“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”


“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”

“Mary Ellen took excellent care of Ollie, and he had fun with her pup, Ellie. Her enclosed yard space is perfect for pups and we felt very safe leaving him there. We will be back, for sure!”

“10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. Miley had the time of her life. She got some much deserved treats, got some exercise in, and was treated like part of the pack. Alayna was amazing. Thanks so much for caring for my pup❤️”

“Our pupper had a great stay!! Gouda was a great fur buddy to play with. Marnie and Dave sent frequent updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Their backyard is very large and fenced in. Truly a haven for dogs. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks guys!”

“Ayaka took wonderful care of our Louie. She communicates often through pictures, videos, and texts. We were anxious about leaving him but each picture and video showed a happy pup. We will be using her again!”

“Melissa went above and beyond with our babies while we were gone on vacation. Constant communication and reassurance that our kitties were loved and cared for while gone. I will definitely be asking her for help in the future and am happy we met her!”


“When a previously scheduled sitter fell through at the last minute Elizabeth stepped in and took care of my cats with no fuss. Both cats where very happy and had no stress when we returned from vacation.”

“Lindsy was amazing and we felt so comfortable leaving our cat in her care while we were out of town. Lindsy visited as scheduled and was very communicative, with lots of photos, video, and comments about our cat’s activities. We would definitely trust Lindsy again!”

About: Out of my forty years of experience, I have learned cats are strange magical creatures that you can learn a lot from. From my first cat Kirby to the cats I have now – Witchka, Mama Cat, Spook, and Apollo, each one has taught me something different about themselves and about the world. I also have a profound respect and love for cats. I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up around a grooming solon taught me how to treat animals, and also having cats of my own taught me the responsibility and enjoyment of owning and being a cat parent. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing cat first aid • A cat whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give cats medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids!

“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!”


About: My name is jharasen or jp for short. I have been working with dogs and other pet for many years now at doggy daycares, pet sitting, vet clinics and at the shelter. I am available most days and time to care for your pet and try to make them feel as comfortable and excepted while they are with me. I am also working on getting my training business started here in Forset city and am currently an intern with a trainer in Mills river helping out with an agility class on Wednesday nights. having the knowledge and backing of the trainer I have been able to find creative ways to help with dogs who seemed stressed or needing more outlets when with me. I am super excited to start my journey out here in Forset city and cant wait to meet and help the community here. I hope to hear from you and your pup soon, and thank you for considering me to take care of your family pet. I have a fenced-in yard that the dogs can play in when I am home. They are also able to come in and hang out inside as well. I do keep all dogs separated when I am not home and/or able to watch them and at meal time just for safety reasons. Ibam a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open, besides for any appointments i might have to go. The only days i am consistently away from the house are Wednesdays from 10 to 3 and Thursdays from 11 to 6 when im at class. I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.
“Felicia is the best! She took care of (& spoiled) our 3 kitties like they were her own. She sent lots of pictures & let me know how each one was doing daily. It took Felicia several visits to gain my scaredy cat's trust, but she did it. I'm so thankful we found her!”


About: I love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University and have a passion for taking care of animals in order for them to feel their best every day! I have had cats at my family home since I was a child and have taken care of cats for others for the past 3-4 years.

“Alayna was AMAZING! She watch my brand new pup on super short notice and took such good care of my girl. She updated me all day and clearly knows what she’s talking about when it comes to animals! I’m so happy with my experience and will absolutely have her care for Libby again 🫶🏼”

“Madison was absolutely amazing with Ela! Ela is naturally nervous and shy at first, but Madison was so patient with her, and her sweet dog, Maggie, really helped Ela come out of her shell and make a new friend. It meant so much knowing Ela was comfortable and having fun while we were away. Madison kept us updated regularly with messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also accepted our reservation last minute, and we're incredibly grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire stay. She was so friendly, caring, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. I couldn't recommend Madison more, and we will absolutely be booking with her again”

About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!
About: Hi! We are Nia and Miguel and would love to welcome your pet to their vacation home! We both have experience with many different sizes, breeds and temperaments! We live in a very quiet area with a large fenced in backyard for lots of running and playing. We both have over 10 years of experience working with cats and dogs and have always had pets in our homes.We look forward to speaking with you and spending time with your fur family! Nia works from home and has the ability to provide extra care and attention to those who need it. Between both of our schedules, we are able to provide day services and overnight boarding if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard with 3 very friendly adult/elderly mixed breed dogs to keep them company. All 3 of our dogs have been around other dogs and cats for many years have no bite history.
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working three days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over a decade with a mix of different temperaments and personalities. I’ve also been dog and cat sitting for almost as long for friends and family. From little chihuahuas to Rottweilers, I’ve cared for many doggies. I’ve even helped train my mom’s three Belgian Malinois. Though I wouldn’t do it now with my toddler, I trained/rehabbed an abused Pitt bull seven years ago. She became the sweetest of all my dogs. My son, who is 16 months old and accompanying me, is very active, so we pretty much live outside (yes! Even when there is snow on the ground). We have a very flexible schedule except maybe when he goes to bed around 7:30/8pm Since people’s homes vary, I’m flexible with doing whatever it takes to keep your pet and others safe. Having no fence is not a problem as long as we have a leash :)
About: Unless you are a pet parent, no one understands what it is like for you to open your eyes in the morning only to find another pair of eyes staring at you, and this huge tongue licking you in the face. Whether you have a cat, dog, bird, etc.., you only want the best for your pet as they are more than just pets, they are family. As pet parents know, each one has his/her own personality and charm. You must have empathy and a sense of humor to be around animals. I have been around animals my entire life (over 40 years). I grew up hanging around a grooming solon knowing how to treat animals. I was taught how to train, groom, and photograph dogs. Our pets can make you laugh when your sad, and wait for you to come home at night, and love you unconditionally. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing dog first aid • Being a dog trainer • Being a dog photographer • A dog whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give dogs medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your dog(s) or cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids! I own my own business. I can fit pet care into my schedule. I am sure I can work with the client to come into an agreement. I would like to know is there a schedule the client has for their pet, especially for the bathroom. Some pets need to go out every so often. Are there any dangers or allergies the pets has, etc. These are the types of information I will be asking the pet parent to make sure their pet is safe.
“Brooke did an amazing job! It was our first time using this application and wanted to find someone who our pups liked in the event of being long periods of time or going on vacation. The pups loved her (they’re a tough crowd) and she did wonderfully engaging with them so that they would get excited for their walk. Very grateful to have found her!”

About: I am a compassionate and detailed sitter who has a passion for pet care! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and kitties that are fearful/shy. I make it my goal to gain their trust with time. I am Animal First Aid/CPR certified and am very comfortable with giving meds, special diets, and extra attention! I am very flexible with my schedule so I am available for daily walks, potty breaks, litterbox changes and overnight/vacation care. I can typically make last minute visits when needed! I listen to each client's needs to determine a plan of action. I go above and beyond to make sure your home is secure and clean after I leave. I will happily bring in mail, papers, and packages if you are away, as well as watering plants on those hot summer days.
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.
About: I had a dog when I was younger and I loved him and taught him tricks. I also have 7 cats who I love so much. I work during the week. I have a big yard, however it's not fenced in. I could take your dog out on a leash so they are safe from other animals and the road. I also live in walking distance to the Harmony Trail in Shelby, NC.
About: With a passion for pet care deeply rooted in my experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service as a pet sitter. Over the years, I’ve cultivated a wealth of knowledge and expertise in caring for various animals, ranging from dogs and cats to more exotic pets. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is not just my breadth of experience, but the genuine joy I find in the company of animals. Whether it’s a spirited game of fetch, teaching new tricks, or simply sharing quiet moments together, I approach every interaction with a deep sense of care and enthusiasm. With me, you can trust that your beloved pet will receive not only attentive care but also boundless love and affection. As a recent graduate of CU Boulder currently focused on studying for the LSAT, my daily and weekly routine offers ample flexibility to prioritize pet care. With dedicated study sessions structured throughout the day, I strategically carve out specific time slots to ensure your dog receives the attention and care they deserve. I have a large, tall fenced yard and two friendly dogs! I have an extra crate and plenty of toys to accommodate for your dogs needs!

“Jharasen was great! She took our 2 pups on short notice and saved my behind! Great communication and very nice, I'll be back in AVL again and will call her in the future”

“Absolutely amazing! I loved the pictures and updates. Rocky was well taken care of, and the family is so sweet. They even sent home a Christmas present for him. Absolutely great, we will definitely book with them again!”

“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”

“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat. She was great giving us multiple updates and sending pics as well as going above and beyond to keep Thor comforted with attention until we returned! I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”

“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”


“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”

“10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. Miley had the time of her life. She got some much deserved treats, got some exercise in, and was treated like part of the pack. Alayna was amazing. Thanks so much for caring for my pup❤️”

“Ayaka took wonderful care of our Louie. She communicates often through pictures, videos, and texts. We were anxious about leaving him but each picture and video showed a happy pup. We will be using her again!”


“I felt comfortable leaving Buddy with Israel and his wife, both are super sweet! Buddy definitely had fun and I had peace of mind which is priceless!!!! Thank you again for everything! Buddy will see you soon!”

“Chuck was loved as always. It was a last minute trip and we wouldn’t want him with anyone else 😃 He is treated as part of the family, snuggled and played with, he always comes back happy.”

“Excellent, empathetic care for our two dogs, both of whom can be on the shy side. We are a repeat client and plan to continue requesting care from Angela and her family.”

“Kendra was amazing with Xabi! In every picture he looked so happy and I never doubted that he was being well cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Thank you so much Ashley. Once again you provided best care for our pita while we are out of town . We keep working with you again and again . Love from our family to you 🤗”

“Our tripod, Poppy, spent a week at Sierra’s home. Poppy was well cared for and made a new best friend. Sierra sent lots of pictures during our trip to let us know how Poppy was doing. We recommend Sierra’s services on Rover 100%, and will send Poppy for another stay in the future.”
