“Pamela is an absolute angel and true animal lover. I run a local dog rescue and was in need of a sitter for one of our foster pups for the holiday weekend. Pamela went above and beyond for our sweet Paddington. She consistently sent updates/pics , took him on multiple walks per day, and showered him with love and affection. Moreover, she exceeded her duties as a sitter by helping market and promote Paddington in hopes that he would find his forever family. She sees the beauty in all dogs and is one of the most compassionate and genuine people I have met. I understand that it’s unnerving to leave your fur baby with someone you aren’t acquainted with. However, I can say with the utmost confidence, Pamela will love and care for your dog to the highest regard. You won’t find anyone more amazing than Pamela.”
“Fantastic service. Beautiful country home with huge yard. Sent us photo updates 4 different times. Will use again any chance we get. Thanks again. Danny was so comfortable and super happy.”
“Great experience ! Ann was reliable, communicative and took great care of my dog. She has a great space that worked well. I felt totally at ease and will definitely book with her again.”
“We went on a short family trip to Georgia and our little pup Cosmo spent quality time in good hands at James home for a few days. He enjoyed his time spent outside in the yard and hanging with James’ family.”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of Kiki! We loved the photos and the updates, and we could tell that Kiki had lots of love and companionship with Laura. It was particularly helpful to know that she has experience with loose leash walking. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“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.”
“Hanna and her husband were great. We hate leaving our canine children but my husband was having major surgery out of town. He was in the hospital for a week and Hannah sent pictures and updates daily which really lifted his spirits. Only problem was I think they didn’t want to go home. Highly recommend.”
“Tracy gave Dulce care and loving and simply spoiled her. We have already booked Tracy for another period later this summer. Great fenced in yard. Very clean. I loved the photos and video I got as well while Dulce was in her care.”
“Sara was wonderful with Koda. Sara paid attention to all of Kodas needs. She sent such great pictures of Koda while we were gone and kept in touch. Definitely using her again. Thank you again!”
“Mary was an outstanding sitter. My dog is handicapped and needs special care. We also had an extended stay while we were out of the country. Mary took special care of my dog and she’s doing great. Thanks Mary!”
About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.
“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 😊”
“Pepper took great care of our toy poodle, maltipoo, and chihuahua for 3 days and sent a lot of pictures of them having fun and relaxing. We could tell she spent a lot of time with them and gave them a lot of attention because they took to her well and wasn't in a rush to leave to go home!. We have taken our pups to many different people through Rover, and Pepper is one of the best! Highly recommended!!”
“I would give 10 stars if that was possible! Bear was in heaven with Caitlin and her family. He went on long walks every morning, went to the river, road in the car and chased chickens! I was actually concerned that he would not want to come home to us :) I cannot recommend her enough- especially if you have a golden! We will be using her again.”

“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.”
“Dixie is the BEST sitter I've ever had. She stayed with my cat, Simon, for over a week, making sure his every need was met. She also kept me informed about Simon's well-being through texts, photos and videos. She even washed my sheets and towels so I would have less to deal with upon my return home. In short, she was not only a caring sitter but also took steps to make sure my return home would go smoothly, thereby allowing me to spend more time reconnecting with Simon. I will DEFINITELY use Dixie again.”
“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.
“Lashanda recently stayed at our home and took care of our two Ragdolls cats. She is an excellent setter, our two cats thought of her as family. Lashanda communicates very well with lots of updates and pictures which made us very comfortable on our vacation. We highly recommend her, she is definitely a 5 star setter.”
“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Brinkley and having her watch my pets. She's an awesome, positive, and very responsible caregiver and I highly recommend her! Thank you Brinkley for going above and beyond to care for my home and animals.”
“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to seniors who need extra patience. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable with feeding, playtime, and medications, and I adapt to each cat’s unique personality. What sets me apart is the calm, reliable care I provide, making sure every cat feels safe and loved while their family is away.
“Kelly was amazing ?! She looked in on our senior kitty ? Jack-Jack every day for 9 days. She took such good care of him, spent quality time with him, fed him, played with him and just kept him company. He doesn't like being alone for long and when we arrived home, he was happy because he had quality visits from Kelly every day! We appreciated daily photos, communication and a Rover card for our little Jack-Jack as well! I highly recommend Kelly for your kitty needs!”
About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I’m not doing in home or boarding at this time and may offer to stay at your house with your pet in the future

I'm here to provide any care they need as well including snuggles, treats, and playtime. I'm available every day for check-ins and walks.

I'm also happy to send update pictures of your 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.”

“My pups had a great day with Megan. They are nappy after having a yard to run and play. Megan is great about staying in contact with pictures and responsive to my texts. I am already booking future dates of fun.”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment. I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛

“Maggie was very excited to go to Ann’s house. We had a meet and greet the day before. Ann was very prompt getting back to me after my request and communicated very well. She kept us updated with photos and texts. We will definitely use her services again!”
“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“Hannah was excellent! She has a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for dogs (and kids!). Her communication was timely and efficient. I received nice pictures of my girl while I was traveling which was reassuring. I would definitely use Hannah again!”
“We love Licia and Pete and are SO GRATEFUL to have such a pup-loving couple to hand our precious Sachie off to when we go rafting. Wish we could tip more, but River only allows so much. I always get a check in call from Licia to confirm all details early on (so I don’t have to initiate the call!) and our little baby comes back super happy and well-taken care of. Thank you sooo much for another great rafting trip! We appreciate you!!!”
“James did a great job with our dog. It was last minute, and he was able to accommodate. When we dropped her off, she just walked into the place like she owned it. I figure if my dog is comfortable doing that, then I should be comfortable leaving her there. Will definitely reach out to James again next time we're in the area.”
“Julia and her husband and her father were FANTASTIC!!!! They are so kind and Pepper had the best time playing with them and their pup Sara Mae. We did not worry a bit about her while we were gone because we knew she was well taken care of. We will absolutely ask Julia to help with Pepper again!”
About: I began working in dog/cat boarding facilities at 16 years old. From grooming to training, I have done it all! I own a professional dog training business and have for been training for the last 12 years. I trial and compete with my personal dogs as well! I have experience with young energetic puppies- to seniors who need more advanced and personal care. I am home full time training and entertaining dogs 24/7. l start walks at 7am and then serve breakfast, throughout the day I walk as needed or every 2 hours, as well as offer frozen kongs, playing with the ball or another pup, or a walk around the neighborhood to get tired. Dinner is around 5-6 and last outside time is at 10pm generally! I care for pets in my own home. I have a fenced in back yard, with tires/a tire swing, 24/7 surveillance as well as plenty of toys and water always available. I provide blankets, bowls, toys, a tv with relaxing music, and daily pictures with updates! 🥰 My property is completely fenced, offering ample space for your pup to frolic and play freely! Indoors, they'll receive the same love and care as if they were my own pet. Unless you specify otherwise, your dog is more than welcome to join me on the bed or sofa during our downtime—because they're truly part of the family.
“Jennie was amazing! We were in town to camp and mountain bike and had to make some last minute adjustments due to weather. She was so flexible and accommodating we almost couldn't believe it! We hope to be back and would definitely use Jennie again.”
“Michelle helped our pup feel right at home and was very accommodating when it came her needs! She kept us posted throughout the day with photos and videos. Roux seemed to love her! Her pups are so sweet too.”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs. I am retired and can devote my time and attention to caring for people’s pets. Our own pets are very welcoming to other dogs and cats. We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.

“Our 12 year old pup is typically quite cautious with new sitters and sometimes refuses to go outside with them. He took to Pamela right away and showed her a lot of love from the beginning. She is a true dog whisperer! Pamela is extremely trustworthy, prompt and energetic. We never worried when she was with our pup, and best of all, when we got home he was always happy and tired ! Pamela was an absolute joy to work with and we strongly recommend her. We will definitely book her again on our return to the Highlands !!I”
About: I am your typical animal lover! The one you see talking to people’s pets in public. I currently have a rescue GSD and a rescue cat so whether you have had your pet since a puppy or adopted at an older age, I assure you they will get ALL the loving. My passion is to rescue hurt, sick, or abandoned animals. I love meeting all the different personalities pets bring. I am a travel emergency nurse that finished an assignment in Highlands, NC recently. I am pretty flexible on times currently. I loved the area so I have decided to hang out for a while until my next assignment. I travel back home (AL) to work every two weeks but will have several days of availability! I am very responsible when it comes to mine and your pet. You set the boundaries for your pets and myself and I promise we will abide by them
About: Since a little girl, there has always been dogs inside or outside of the house. As of right now, I have six dogs all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Therefore, I am very comfortable handling anything from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a gentler space. I understand how to manage multiple dogs at once and read their body language to make sure each one gets the care they need. Because of that, I am patient, adaptable, and used to real life situations. I treat every animal like they are my own regardless of where I am (why I have 6 lol), and make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a freshman in college who is fully online. Therefore, I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pups and get what they need! During the summer time, I will be doing this full time as I will be on break. I have a large yard with many pups yours can play with. If needed, I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer, however, all dogs are welcome on the furniture here. I also have a quieter space for the older, wanting to sleep dogs🙂
About: Hello! I have been pet sitting professionally full-time for 6 years. I have fewer repeat customers shown on my Rover profile than some people here because clients usually choose to stop using Rover to save money and work independently with me. I work remotely and am pretty much always home; gardening and hanging with dogs ❤️. I have a half wrap porch with two steps to an enclosed grassy yard. I also go almost daily to the Women's Museum Park to walk my dog (and maybe yours too) where they have access to the river (if you approve, of course). Animals are family and will get copious amounts of doting attention. If they want to play with my dog, she is game! If they don't get along with other dogs there is plenty of separation options as well. I'm also perfectly content to come to you and sit your animals in their home environment. Through the years I've handled all sorts of "animal emergencies" with calm and collected care. I've loved a dog from her puppy days through her geriatric years with unending tenderness and welcome you to entrust your puppy-older dog to my care. Any special needs are no problem. I have administered injected medications. I have given pills successfully and regularly to a Houdini of a dog! If he/she needs it he/she will receive it. I am available evenings, weekends and holidays as well. I often take dogs from multiple households, but you can request no other dogs during your dog's stay. I have a grassy fenced side yard and a half wrap around sunning deck. I do not leave dogs unattended outside, but for the most part they can go in and out all day. I work from home. Occasionally I will need to be away for up to 5hrs at a time, but I will know my schedule when booking. I have a fenced in yard and a 40 lb female terrier mix. She has been dog sitting with me for 7 years now and is adaptable to other dogs' personalities. There is plenty of room for separation if needed as well.
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away.

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.

Exercise and playtime sessions are incorporated into their daily routine, tailored to their energy levels and exercise needs. 2 Regular Walks and Outdoor Time: Dogs require daily walks and outdoor time for exercise and mental stimulation. I schedule regular walks throughout the day, ensuring that dogs receive the physical activity they need to stay healthy and happy. 3 Medication and Special Needs: If any pets under my care have specific medical needs, such as medication administration or special treatments, I integrate these tasks into my daily routine. This ensures that they receive their required medications or treatments at the designated times. 4 Playtime and Enrichment: Engaging pets in playtime and enrichment activities is essential for their well-being. I incorporate interactive play sessions, puzzle toys, and mental stimulation activities into their daily routine to keep them entertained and engaged. 5 Regular Check-ins and Updates: I maintain regular communication with pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and activities. This may include sharing photos, videos, or text messages to keep owners connected and informed. 6 Home Maintenance: If I am providing in-home pet care, I incorporate home maintenance tasks into my routine, such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness in the pet's living area. 7 Flexible Scheduling: I am adaptable and flexible to accommodate the specific needs of each pet and their owners. I work from home and an able to be available whenever need be. Whether it's a daily visit, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I ensure that I can allocate the necessary time and attention to provide optimal care. Overall, pet care is integrated seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize the well-being, happiness, and safety of the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. At Rover Pet Sitting Services, I offer in-home pet sitting. Here's a breakdown of how I care for pets in this setting: In-Home Pet Sitting: When providing in-home pet sitting services, I visit your client's home to care for your pets. During these visits, I prioritize the following: 1 Feeding and Watering: I follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules and dietary requirements, ensuring your pets receive their meals on time and in the appropriate portions. I also ensure they have access to fresh water at all times. 2 Exercise and Playtime: I engage your pets in physical activities to keep them active and stimulated. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or having fun with their favorite toys, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. 3 Medication Administration: If your pets require medication, I am experienced in administering oral medications, topical treatments, or injections as per your instructions. I make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and timing diligently. 4 Bathroom Breaks and Litter Box Cleaning: I take your dogs outside for bathroom breaks, ensuring they have regular opportunities to relieve themselves. For cats, I clean and maintain their litter boxes, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene. 5 TLC and Companionship: I provide lots of love, attention, and affection to your pets. I understand the importance of companionship and make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in my presence. 6 Home Maintenance: While caring for your pets, I also take care of basic home maintenance tasks.

About: I began working at Radnor Veterinary Hospital as a Boarding Attendant, where I cared for a variety of animals, primarily dogs, and was responsible for feeding, walking, medicating, and monitoring their daily needs. I then worked as a Veterinary Assistant at the Exotic and Small Animal Hospital of PA, where I gained extensive hands-on experience with both small animals and exotic pets. I assisted with appointments, treatments, medications, laboratory work, and monitoring patients before, during, and after procedures. This experience taught me how to recognize changes in an animal’s behavior and health, safely handle animals, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs. I am currently a pre-veterinary student at Clemson University pursuing my passion for becoming a veterinarian. I especially enjoy caring for rabbits and dogs, but honestly just love being around animals. I have classes regularly; however, in the afternoon and later evenings, I am usually free almost every day! I try to be really flexible; however, school does create some constraints. I make sure to locate the nearest vet in case of an emergency, keep a close eye on your pet during the whole time, and record if I see anything unusual.
“Kelly is excellent! We booked her for dog walking/drop in visits while we were out of town for a wedding. Because it was a last minute trip, we (and our dog, an older pit mix who can be picky about his friends) had never met her before, but Kelly was very patient and kind and our dog warmed up to her right away. We highly recommend Kelly.”
About: My whole life has revolved around my passion and love for animals. From volunteering at my local animal shelter, working at luxury pet resorts to working on a Farm I have had experience with animals of all sizes. In the future I hope to become a certified dog trainer and I am already on my way to it. I am dog and cat CPR certificated. I have years of experience caring for all sizes and age groups of pets. I personally have two dogs that get to go to the park and do training daily. I personally feel like enrichment for animals is one of the most important part of pet care in a day. I strive myself to be able to give all of the animals I take care of mental and physical enrichment daily. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of work to care for my own pets, as well as others pets to my best ability. My main priority for pet care is making sure the pet is safe, happy and healthy. I also want to make sure that pet parents are comfortable with the approaches I use and the incentives given to the animals. I want the pet care I provide to be a happy and mutually beneficial experience for both the animals and the parents.

“Pamela is an absolute angel and true animal lover. I run a local dog rescue and was in need of a sitter for one of our foster pups for the holiday weekend. Pamela went above and beyond for our sweet Paddington. She consistently sent updates/pics , took him on multiple walks per day, and showered him with love and affection. Moreover, she exceeded her duties as a sitter by helping market and promote Paddington in hopes that he would find his forever family. She sees the beauty in all dogs and is one of the most compassionate and genuine people I have met. I understand that it’s unnerving to leave your fur baby with someone you aren’t acquainted with. However, I can say with the utmost confidence, Pamela will love and care for your dog to the highest regard. You won’t find anyone more amazing than Pamela.”
“Fantastic service. Beautiful country home with huge yard. Sent us photo updates 4 different times. Will use again any chance we get. Thanks again. Danny was so comfortable and super happy.”
“We went on a short family trip to Georgia and our little pup Cosmo spent quality time in good hands at James home for a few days. He enjoyed his time spent outside in the yard and hanging with James’ family.”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of Kiki! We loved the photos and the updates, and we could tell that Kiki had lots of love and companionship with Laura. It was particularly helpful to know that she has experience with loose leash walking. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“Hanna and her husband were great. We hate leaving our canine children but my husband was having major surgery out of town. He was in the hospital for a week and Hannah sent pictures and updates daily which really lifted his spirits. Only problem was I think they didn’t want to go home. Highly recommend.”
“Sara was wonderful with Koda. Sara paid attention to all of Kodas needs. She sent such great pictures of Koda while we were gone and kept in touch. Definitely using her again. Thank you again!”
“Mary was an outstanding sitter. My dog is handicapped and needs special care. We also had an extended stay while we were out of the country. Mary took special care of my dog and she’s doing great. Thanks Mary!”
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.
“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 😊”
“Pepper took great care of our toy poodle, maltipoo, and chihuahua for 3 days and sent a lot of pictures of them having fun and relaxing. We could tell she spent a lot of time with them and gave them a lot of attention because they took to her well and wasn't in a rush to leave to go home!. We have taken our pups to many different people through Rover, and Pepper is one of the best! Highly recommended!!”
“I would give 10 stars if that was possible! Bear was in heaven with Caitlin and her family. He went on long walks every morning, went to the river, road in the car and chased chickens! I was actually concerned that he would not want to come home to us :) I cannot recommend her enough- especially if you have a golden! We will be using her again.”
“We loved Christina so much. She was very communicative, prompt with responses and was just so nice. Our little guy was happy and healthy when he came home. We definitely will book again and highly recommend her services.”
“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter. I left my dog Roxie with her for her first Rover experience and Taylor totally put my mind at ease. She sent plenty of photos and welcomed Roxie into her home with lots of love and care. She had so much fun playing with her dog, going on walks and taking naps. I will definitely reach out Taylor in the future when Roxie needs a sitter. I highly recommend her. Thanks Taylor for making Roxie’s stay so safe and happy.”
“Amanda was great and took good care of my mom’s dog. My mom was in the hospital during this time and it was nice to not worry about her dog! Thank you Amanda! We hope to book with you again soon!”
“Joyce was a pleasure to work with. I felt really comfortable leaving my pack with her. There is a big yard for the dogs to frolic in and the boys were able to stay in a room and play together with out mixing with other dogs. My pack can be a little quirky and she was able to roll with their personalities wonderfully. Her daily updates were hilarious and it felt like she cared for my boys like they were her own.”
