“I feel really blessed to have found Pamela Pamela is a wonderful and caring sitter She made the experience exceptionally comfortable I would give her my highest recommendation and look forward to her taking care of Kiwi many more times in the future”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our Aussie has been boarding with James J and family for over 3 years now and they’ve been wonderful. Our latest board with them was for 15 days when we were out of the country; they sent us photos and kept in touch the whole time. Excellent, conscientious care!”
“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.”
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.
“Autumn has watched my boys even before she came to Rover and I still wouldn’t trust them with anyone. My boys love her and her kiddos. So I’m a repeat befor Rover and will be a lifer with Autumn💙💙”
“Mini had a great time staying with Mary! She has the best setup for dog-sitting! I highly recommend Mary and would definitely use her again if we are ever back in the area! Thank you, Mary!! We appreciate you!”
“Sara was amazing! She had great communication and you can tell she lives what she does. She was patient and living to my VERY hyper and anxious Lab Cooper. The pictures she sent daily were great and showed what an amazing time he was having in her care! I would absolutely book with her again and strongly suggest you do too!”
“Tracy was amazing with our doggy son! We have always left him with the same sitter for the last 5 years but she was not available for the week we had to go on vacation. We were so relieved he was taken care of with the BEST treatment and love there was to give as she sent pictures and videos the whole trip!”
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.
“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.”
“Pepper was the absolute best! She kept in constant contact and sent tons of pictures of Oppie. He had the time of his life during his stay with her. I will absolutely be booking with Pepper again!”
“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 😊”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“We are thrilled to have found Licia and her partner. They are so caring and loving and safe. We had complete confidence leaving our princess for a week with them. Our only concern was that our puppy was so well taken care of that she might want to stay rather than come home with us.”

“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.”
“This was the first time we had left Pip, our 12 year cat with anyone. We were nervous about how he would do having someone in his house. Could not have gone better. Dixie was great! Always sending updates, pictures and videos. Very obvious Pip was comfortable with her and glad to be in his own home. Will definitely schedule with Dixie again.”
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”

I'm also skilled with caring and training pups! All my dogs have been raised and trained through positive behavior, so I'm ready to help train your sweet babies! Also, my previous soul-dog, Duck, experienced long-term healthcare needs and emergencies, all of which were handled with absolute care, precision, and peace to cause less stress on him.

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.

“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. 💛

“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!!!”
“I can’t wait to leave Lola again with James. I can assure that she was in the best hands sharing this time with James’ family. Highly recommended. They treated Lola like another family member.”
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.
About: I have always lived in a house filled with animals inside and out. We primarily had dogs for pets and would usually at least have 2, from puppies to seniors I’ve loved and cared for all sizes and would love to care for your fur babies as well! There is no size too big or too small, I adore all very much and know how worrying it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, I assure you they would be loved very much while in my hands! I work from home so I have plenty of time and availability to spend and care for your fur baby while you’re away! I do have my step children every other weekend so communication will be key if your pet is not child friendly and if your schedule will work for me, but I am open to working with you as much as I can! I currently have 2 indoor dogs, both crate and (mostly) potty trained. I have a mid sized boxer and a small mix breed, they are both girls that are dog and kid friendly and as sweet as can be. I have plenty of yard space(not fenced), a quiet road to walk them on, and a runner for solo outside/potty time. I do live in a dog neighborhood with lots of distractions so your fur baby would be kept on a leash at all times when outdoors
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
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.

“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: 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.
“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: 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: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.

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.

“Our Aussie has been boarding with James J and family for over 3 years now and they’ve been wonderful. Our latest board with them was for 15 days when we were out of the country; they sent us photos and kept in touch the whole time. Excellent, conscientious care!”
“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.”

“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!

“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 😊”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“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.”
“Amanda was wonderful! She was very kind and we felt very safe leaving D’Koda with her. We could tell she really loves animals. Her dog Chloe was the sweetest and cutest little baby. They both did there best to keep our dog who has separation anxiety distracted/entertained while we were gone. This was our first time using a dog sitter and Rover. We highly recommend Amanda and we will definitely contact her again next time we need a dog sitter in this area.”
“Hannah Michelle was wonderful! She sent great pics of our pups everyday, welcomed them into her home, and made their week away from us totally stress free. I really feel our dogs were just part of her family while we were away. We will absolutely use her again!”
“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.”
