“I can't say enough about Lacie!!! She is absolutely excellent. We use her whenever we go out of town and never worry about our Emma. We know she is treated as well or even better than at home. Lacie is amazing.”
“Connie P. and her husband Ron is the best you can find for your baby doggie staycation. Our furry baby didn’t only make some furry friends, but also enjoyed his stay at Connie’s Pups Haven. They are wonderful couple. They went above and beyond in providing Rocky the love, care and attention he needs. I highly recommend Connie and we will definitely use her again.”
“Debbie was marvelous! We were a little nervous as our Abbey is a 13 year-old 3-pound chihuahua who is almost blind and Ghirardelli is a 6-pound bouncy poodle. Debbie has four dogs of her own. Two are huge boyzois! No worries-all four of her fur babies were very, very sweet! Debbie cuddled Abbey and our babies slept with her grandson which they absolutely loved!!! We got pics and updates every day. Debbie even waited up for our late flight so that we could get our babies as soon as we got back home. Best puppy B&B ever!!! We will be back, Debbie.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sharon is the kindest and most attentive sitter we could ask for! Our pup clearly loved being there and it really helped us relax on vacation knowing our sweet girl was in good hands.”
“Diane took care of our Seamus while on vacation for a week and she did an amazing job! She sent several photos of him throughout the week which was nice to see him happy. He looked healthier when we picked him up then when we left which was probably due to the many walks they went on. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need our fur baby watched!”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“KaLynn was exceptional! She was amazing with communication sending multiple sweet pictures daily, texting to communicate whenever necessary, and always accommodating to my needs about the dogs to make me feel confident my girls were being well taken care of. I was genuinely nervous about leaving them for an entire week with someone we had never met, but I instantly felt they were safe and being loved on the moment we dropped off through pick up. My girls lived their best life in KaLynn’s care and we will always book our trips with her in the future!”
“Kali was so wonderful. My mollie enjoyed her time with her and her pups! She kept me posted on mollies needs and I am grateful she worked with me on my hectic schedule.”
“Kharen was great! It is obvious she loves dogs and knows how to make your pets not only feel welcome, but a part of her family! She has a great fenced in yard and because it was calling for rain this past weekend, even had a play area set up in her garage complete with indoor/outdoor rug and a large fan and toys for the dogs to keep them entertained! Kharen is very warm & friendly and she made us feel very connected to our pups by sending us many pictures of our dogs over the 3 night stay with her! We will definitely use Kharen again next time we are visiting our friends in Arden, and would not give her anything but a 5 star review!”
“Kristin was a lifesaver. I had booked weeks in advance with another rover sitter that went unresponsive and booked with Kristin in a panic same day. She sent daily updates and was extremely communicative and professional. I could tell Ruby had a great time when I picked her up.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“Michaela is wonderful!! She sent photos and updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was always comfortable and safe. She’s one of the best sitters I’ve used on Rover.”
“Birdie had such a great stay with Soraya and will definitely be back the next time I need doggy care! Her home and back yard are well taken care of and secure! She treated Birdie like her own and provided regular pupdates!”
“We loved Laura and her place with the beautiful big fenced in yard. We also loved the pictures she would send us while we were gone. We missed Tucker our dog so much and the pictures helped us know he was being taken well care of. We will use again.”
“Ryan did a wonderful job with our dog. This was his first experience staying with a sitter he didn’t know and outside of our home. She sent pictures of him throughout his stay. I would 100% let Ryan sit for our dog again! Tip top!”
“Alexis was a great host and Max came back happy and relaxed! She sent reliable communication and was super easy to coordinate schedules with. Will recommend and will book again!”
“Jamie and Nathan were great to work with. They were super responsive and very accommodating. Our dog Riggins loved staying with them. We would not hesitate to book with them again!”

“Another wonderful drop-in vacation for my dictators. I am so glad I found Kim for my kitties. I have zero worries when I am gone for multiple days at a time. Kim's communication is impeccable! Thank you once again.”
“Mallory was very responsive and sweet to my bonded pair of cats while I left them alone with a sitter for the first time. I never had to worry about them in her care.”
“Abigail was such a Wonderful Caring Sitter !! We were notified when She came & Left & She sent Precious Pictures of Suzy & Luna . Both Cats were cared for exactly as We asked & We are So very Grateful for Her help 🙏 I will definitely ask for Abigail's Help in the future 😻”
“My cat decided to become an escape artist right as I left for my vacation. These guys went above and beyond looking for her. They spent a long time looking on the first day when we confirmed that she was missing and continued combing the bushes and roads daily until I returned home. Excellent sitters who will love your pet as you do!”
“Alexis was AMAZING with our senior girl. She was super attentive and spent a lot of time with all the cats. We really appreciate her time and would definitely book with Alexis again!”
“This was a rebook with Ashlee. We had a cold snap and outdoor kitties water iced over; thanks to Ashlee's care they had water! Heated water bowl ordered. Ashlee is reliable, so no worries about the kitties being uncared for.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my cat and home while I was out of town! She maintained great communication throughout my time away and made my cat feel very comfortable. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Kayla was great! We appreciated her visit with our cat and will definitely recommend her to others. Our kitty is shy and always runs and hides when anyone comes into our home. Kayla snapped a few pictures for us of her in her bed. We are pleased with the services and will utilize the services again.”
“Dearest Lacie was a gift sent to us by the heavens. She came every single day did what she needed to do for our cat Susie and Leo and we just got home. She left pictures and videos. It really was good to see that our cats were being taken care of so well I recommend her 1000 billion percent she is caring and loving and wonderful thank you Lacie.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others. Experienced with small to large breeds dogs with elder care experience including walking/standing restrictions, special diet needs, and medication distribution. I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, treating them as if they were my own. My main goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize anxiety while you are away. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, and I provide photo updates after each visit for your total peace of mind.

Your animal is safe with me; you don't have to worry. I aim to make open and transparent communication my top priority. If something goes wrong or your animal gets sick I will always contact you.
About: I have had dogs, fish, and rodents all my life. I volunteered at the Asheville Humane Society early into my teenage years. My previous job was at a dog daycare, which I worked at for one year. After I left that job I began working as a pet bather at a grooming salon. I recently left that job as I wanted to go back to school, and now started volunteering for the Asheville Humane Society again. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, fish, rabbits, pretty much anything. I am happy do feed, walk, play with, or just snuggle with any critter you might have! Beginning in August I will be in school and will not be able to do any services until 1:00 or later on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also go to church Sunday mornings and also cannot do any services before 1:00. However I do not have a job at the moment so other than those two things my schedule is pretty open! *Because of school if you are wanting to book me for house sitting longer than two nights you MUST have WiFi* I am more than happy to provide any service you would like me to do for your fur baby in your home. I do not mind long walks/hikes, preparing complicated meals, playing, whatever you need. I never raise my voice or get physical with animals. I will care for them with love and care!
About: I have been around and cared for cats my entire life. Growing up with cats and owning them myself has given me years of hands on experience understanding their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Over the years, I have cared for cats for family members, neighbors, and others through referrals\. I truly enjoy spending time with cats and understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others need patience and space to feel comfortable. I have experience providing medication, following specific dietary needs and feeding instructions, maintaining litter boxes, and giving plenty of love and attention. Whether your cat needs basic daily care, extra attention, medication, or a caregiver who will carefully follow their individual routine, I am happy to help.
“if i could give adelynn more than 5 stars i would. from the moment we had the meet and greet it was a immediate yes to let her drop in on the kitties. she left photos on rover and send videos to my number to put my mind at ease. adelynn was extremely responsive, polite, and kind. i recommend her to anyone who needs a little extra help when leaving town!”

About: I have over 2 decades of experience in all types of animal care; including dog sitting/boarding, doggy daycare, and assisting vets. I also spent ten years raising and breeding boxers and working on a farm. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have pets of all kinds! I’ve always loved working with any kind of dog; I have no “restricted breeds” and I love all animals. I’m happy to help your 4 legged family members burn off some extra energy while you are away. You just let me know if they prefer to take walks, or to go on hikes, pal around and socialize at a pet park, or just play around and soak up some attention and cuddles -I’ll take care of it! I am currently self-employed and work for my self. So my schedule is flexible and I’ll have time to give your pet all the attention and love they deserve!

“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kharen was a great dog-sitter for our pup and provided pics throughout the day. Zilly came home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Kharen was also super flexible with us when we had some unexpected traffic that required extending pick up time. We really appreciated her and Zilly loved her! Thanks Kharen 😊”
About: My name is Mac Graf and my husband and I live right outside Hendersonville, NC. I am a certified and licensed athletic trainer and am the Director of Sports Medicine as my full-time job. I work 90% of my job from home, and would love to help take the stress off your work day by allowing your fur family to hangout with me and my family for the day. I take my work seriously whether that be with my patients or with my fur friends. I fostered dogs throughout undergrad to give me more experience and make a change in an animal's life. I ended up adopting one of my foster dogs in 2020 and it was the best decision i've ever made! I rescued another dog in February of 2023, so I have lots of personal dog experience. I understand that having a dog is not just having a pet, but it is another family member. I treat them as such. With my experience as a foster, and being a pet owner myself - I know that I am responsible and loving towards all animals. I would love nothing more than to help take the stress off other dog owners, and help take care of them when needed. Since my job is 90% remote work, I have the flexibility to take my dogs on a walk or play outside in the fenced in area of our home multiple times a day. Throughout the work day they go outside multiple times - usually with a longer walk at the end of my work day. I ask the person I am dog sitting for what they want, and I always accommodate to whatever makes my client feel most comfortable with! We have two baby gates at home, so if we ever need to separate dogs in our home, we have the ability to do so. I always will be respectful of my clients and whatever their wishes are.
“I needed a sitter last minute, and Julie accepted our sweet Luna with open arms. Excellent communication, I immediately felt confident Luna would be in caring and safe care, and Julie was super flexible. 10/10 would recommend!”
“KaLynn was fabulous. If you are visiting Biltmore and need a place for your pooch during your visit, we highly recommend her. She was great at accommodating our senior dog for the day and was very communicative both before and during the day, plus she sent fun photos that were in an amazing quality.”
“Ryan was very flexible and conscientious when Oliver stayed with her for the day. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing. She has a menagerie of animals, including several cats, rabbits, a dog and a bird, so he got a lot of up close socializing experience, which is good for him because we like to take him out and about where there could be other animals.”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of dogs for my friends and family. In 2019, I adopted my rescued fur baby Bobby, and in 2020, I adopted my beautiful girl Bella. They have been the great addition to our family. I'm very reliable, responsible, loving and caring for your pet and love to give cuddles and kisses to your fur baby. I currently work from home different days where I can give care to your loved one and enjoy time together. I can have my little one play together with yours. Whatever makes you more comfortable, I respect that, and will always give my best care and love to your loved one. I have a small patio where your dog can take some sun and air, play with my Bobby and enjoy the beautiful view. I also have a doggy park nearby where we can go and play.
About: Hi! I might be new to Rover but not pet sitting! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently own two pugs and a soon to be therapy dog named Zoey. I also live with my husband Mike! He is an engineer at Duke Energy & isn’t always home. But I work from home so cuddles are always available for your pup! Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered with the Blue Ridge Humane Society and spent several years fostering animals in need, helping them transition into loving forever homes. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience working with shy, energetic, anxious, and special needs pets, always focusing on patience, safety, and positive reinforcement. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Please reach out for special requests. I can try to accommodate such as picking up your pet or dropping you off at the airport. I live 6 minutes away from AVL. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members🐾 I currently work from home so if you have an anxious, high energy, sleepy, and separation anxiety I’m your girl! I am a Rover customer as well so I will your dogs just like I would want another Rover sitter to! All dogs are allowed on the couch & bed! I sleep with my 3 crazy sweet dogs. I do have a fenced yard. We also have a dog park in our community! I take my dogs there every day after work.
“I would give Autumn and Josh 10 stars if I could!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not only did they do a great job with my pet, but they were quick to answer, and followed every request to accommodate my Gypsy's visit down to the most minute detail. They sent me 2 pictures in the short time she was there and went above and beyond to make her feel at home! I would highly recommend them!! ♥️♥️”
“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: First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals! Even as a kid, I would only accompany my mother to visit her friends, who had dogs or cats in their home. I appreciate, respect, and can relate to the bond humans have with their pets. They are very much family and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your fur baby comfortable, relaxed, and content, in our home or yours, while you're away. We only board 2 dogs at a time, to ensure a quiet, calm, and more relaxing stay, and have a large fenced in backyard for playtime. Dogs staying with us must be house trained. We also have a cat, who loves to play with dogs, so to ensure his safety, any dogs boarding with us must be cat friendly. Some of my previous work experience includes 4 years as a veterinary assistant and I'm comfortable with administering medication, if needed. I have dog training experience and have even trained two of our own to become registered therapy dogs. Together, we serve our community by providing pet therapy in shelters for domestic violence victims, assisted living facilities, our local university, in elementary schools, and wherever she's needed. I currently work with German Shepherd Rescue organizations, assessing temperaments/behavior, conducting home visits, and fostering. We live near the airport, which makes it ideal for dropping off and picking up when traveling for work or going on vacation. Several of my clients leave their babies with us when leaving the country. In addition to dog sitting for many friends and family members over the years, I've also taken care of cats, horses, goats, and even iguanas! I can't wait to provide extra love, play time, and affection for your fur baby, too! I work from home and we have one dog and a cat. I closely supervise any dogs that are our guests here and can provide potty breaks as frequently as needed. Any pets staying with us are supervised inside and out. Our yard is large and fenced in, so it's a great place for play sessions. For drop in visits, I customize it to the owner's wishes and dog's needs.
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with my pup, Biggie! She took care of him while my family and I went to the Biltmore and out to dinner, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She sent so many pictures and videos throughout the time he was with her, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She was incredibly accommodating, and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had the best time! Biggie went straight to sleep when we got home, which tells me he was happy, loved, and well played with. Alyssa and her family treated Biggie like one of their own, and it truly meant so much to me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again whenever we visit!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs and sick/disabled dogs. I can administer medication, if needed. My dogs are our family members and yours will be treated the same. I am currently working from home so your pet won’t be left home alone for very long periods. I am available during the week and weekends including holidays. I have two very sweet and mellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to keep your doggie company. They will have access to 2 separate fenced in areas, one with a doggie door. Your dog can be crated or not and are welcome on the furniture with our dogs. Ours sleep in an x-pen together but your dog can sleep where ever it prefers. I want them to be comfortable like it is their own home.
“Nate is super friendly and reassured me Tama would have a good time with the other dogs in the home. He played so hard he was fighting sleep on the drive home. Thanks for taking care of him today!”
“We were in the area for sightseeing. Kristin was welcoming and seemed to be aware of how to treat the different sizes of dog that she was watching. I can not speak on Stellas behalf, except I Heard no complaining. Thanks for watching Stella for us so that we can enjoy our sightseeing.”

“We were gone for the weekend and Mallory was wonderful with our 2 pups! They are usually crazy and destructive when we leave but they loved Mallory and behaved so well! Would highly recommend for pup sitting and walking.”
“Our dog took to Ashlee like she was family. She was always there when she planned to be and the communication was excellent. We are so grateful for her professional approach and hometown kindness. Well done!”
“Lacie was such a blessing! We were on vacation for a week and couldn't take our spoiled pups with us. We did have a family member housesitting for us, but they were gone most of the day for work so we had Lacie stop by to check on them and let them out every other day. She went above and beyond! She showed up on days we couldn't originally afford or schedule, just because she truly cares. She also helped with cleaning up the dog area and other little things that we didn't ask for. She kept in touch and provided updates and made us feel at ease. I know the dogs are very grateful that we found her! Most definitley would use her again for anything!”
“Alexis is always fantastic with my German Shepherd. They have lots of fun walks and playtime together. I could not imagine a better person to take care of her!!!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I provide personalized, attentive care and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my day around my clients’ needs and give each pet the individual attention and care they deserve. I’m organized about keeping feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications on schedule, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I also enjoy keeping pet parents updated so they know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I provide in-home pet care by following each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their needed potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention, and receive medications when needed. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and keep things clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos during my visits so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away.

About: Growing up I always had pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, fish and have always been an animal lover. Two kids later, potty training another living thing is not a priority but I cant resist tail wags and couch snuggles whenever I’m around animals. I am very active and would love to be the person to help get the zoomies out of your doggo or check in on other furry friends. I have had dogs of my own and have experience with crate training and will help to encourage existing basic training behaviors. I work remotely full time and am typically an early riser. I have two kids that keep me busy but my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to come over to check in on your fur babies, take them on walks or sit with them for a few hours while I get my work done.
“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”
“Amazing! I reached out and they had time to take a booking right away! Great job with our two 70lb dogs on an hour long walk. So thoughtful with leaving us homemade dog treats too. Thank you Michelle and Dale!”
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!
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.
About: I have grown up around dogs, trained and taken care of them myself. We have two dogs at home, one is a tripaw. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs as well. I love all dogs as much as I love my own. I have experience with larger dogs, senior dogs, puppies and tripaws. I currently have a part time job so I am available some of the days during the week to walk or hike with your pup! I love walking and hiking with my pups! I can walk your dog from your home or take him/her to a park or hike near by.
About: I grew up with a mini Pomeranian, such a fun and hyper little dog! Now, I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Shayla, she is my big baby and the best cuddle buddy. I am familiar with topical and oral medications, as Shayla has a skin condition that makes her very itchy and uncomfortable. I care for her like she is my child. I am very excited to meet, greet, and play with different doggies. I will give them all the time and attention they deserve while you are away. My promise to you is that I will treat your babies as if they are my own. I am available early mornings and evenings, as I work a typical 8 to 5 job also. You will not be disappointed!
About: I've cared on animals all my life - from cats + dogs to fish and guinea pigs! I've always had a love for animals and the joy they bring me. My husband and I have a kitty named Mr and he is the goodest boy! He loves tummy rubs and zoomies and is very loved! I hope you'll consider me to give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve! Oh and a bonus, I love to exercise/hike in pretty places and will gladly bring your pet along if you like :) I live close to Flat Rock Park and am more than happy to take your pup for a walk there or even a dip in the creek! I love to cuddle any fur babies that will let me :) I currently am available for drop-ins or walks Monday - Friday from 10am-5pm. Let's chat and see if we can work out the care you need :) When visiting your home for drop-ins or walks, my main goal is keeping your pet relaxed, safe, and happy in their normal routine. Routine & Safety: I stick to your feeding and walk schedules, keep your space clean, and double-check all doors and locks before leaving. Attentive Care: Visits are all about quality time- whether that’s a quick walk, a good play sesh, clean water bowls, or just some cuddles. Peace of Mind: You’ll get updates and plenty of photos every visit so you always know how your pet is doing!
About: Hello! I’m Sam, an entrepreneur, artist, animal lover, traveler, and mom to Benny, the sweetest 11-year-old ever. We love to explore new places, but we firmly believe that life is better with furry friends, so house-sitting has become a perfect fit for us! Sometimes we come as a house-sitting team and sometimes (while he is with his dad), I travel solo. For drop-in visits and dog-walks, I typically come solo, but I will always communicate this ahead of time if that changes! I was raised with German Shepherds and Yorkies, so big or small, I love them all! We’ve rescued three feral kittens who’ve become the biggest loves and rule our house. Our last pup rescue, Ellie, was a mix who was equal parts love-bug and wild-child so I’m quite comfortable with dogs who need extra exercise to tire them out as well as older dogs that just want to snooze on the couch. (We have a 3 generation household and my mom's pup is a senior Yorkie who is deaf and mostly blind...so I have lots of experience dealing with special needs dogs, medications, etc) We’ve watched numerous dogs, cats, both indoor friends and barn cats, as well as a horse, a donkey, a few guinea pigs, and lots of chickens. Plus we love caring for gardens, filling bird feeders, and tending to a home. I work from home, running an online business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I love to walk dogs while my son is at school or take them for hikes with the kiddo on the weekends. Whether we are tending to horses on a farm or cat-sitting in a big city, we believe a home should be respected and cared for and animals should be treated as family. Our sweetheart Ridgeback mix, Ellie, passed away in 2021 and house-sitting has helped our hearts to heal as we have had the opportunity to care for such amazing fur babies as we travel. We can’t wait until we buy a home and can once again have a dog of our own, but until then, we are so thankful to be able to love on the pets we watch!
“I just moved to NC and was so very happy to have found Ryan to care for my two dogs when I am at work. She came over and spent a lot of time getting to know my furry kids, asking a lot of questions about their habits/quirks, and has been able to handle both dogs with ease. Also, my dogs can be very finicky when it comes to meeting new people and they both took to Ryan immediately. I would highly recommend Ryan as a caretaker for dogs, or any animal.”

“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”
“Sharon is the kindest and most attentive sitter we could ask for! Our pup clearly loved being there and it really helped us relax on vacation knowing our sweet girl was in good hands.”
“Diane took care of our Seamus while on vacation for a week and she did an amazing job! She sent several photos of him throughout the week which was nice to see him happy. He looked healthier when we picked him up then when we left which was probably due to the many walks they went on. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need our fur baby watched!”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“Kali was so wonderful. My mollie enjoyed her time with her and her pups! She kept me posted on mollies needs and I am grateful she worked with me on my hectic schedule.”
“Jordan and her little 3-year-old daughter were super sweet!! They took great care of our little Shih Poo girl, not to mention she had just started her cycle. I was afraid that Jordan might cancel, but she didn't. My daughter and I brought her with her crate, diapers, food, and toys, and that was that. We were able to enjoy our travels to see family over the weekend without worry over our baby pooch. We're keeping Jordan's profile up top!”
“Michaela is wonderful!! She sent photos and updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was always comfortable and safe. She’s one of the best sitters I’ve used on Rover.”
“We loved Laura and her place with the beautiful big fenced in yard. We also loved the pictures she would send us while we were gone. We missed Tucker our dog so much and the pictures helped us know he was being taken well care of. We will use again.”
“Ryan did a wonderful job with our dog. This was his first experience staying with a sitter he didn’t know and outside of our home. She sent pictures of him throughout his stay. I would 100% let Ryan sit for our dog again! Tip top!”
“Alexis was a great host and Max came back happy and relaxed! She sent reliable communication and was super easy to coordinate schedules with. Will recommend and will book again!”
“Jamie and Nathan were great to work with. They were super responsive and very accommodating. Our dog Riggins loved staying with them. We would not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“This is the second time Lilly has stayed with Caroline. She did a great job with communicating & sending pictures so we knew Lilly was comfortable & doing well. Would definitely have her sit Lilly again!”
“Katie &Jeremy are amazing multiple updates daily with great pictures. My dog couldn’t be happier when he comes home from being with them. I have booked with them multiple times. They are amazing sitters.”
“We couldn’t be happier to have found Alyssa and Bryan to love on our two doodle boys while we were away! From the moment they arrived, our pups were showered with so much care and affection. Daily hikes, endless ball throwing, and constant cuddles. Alyssa sent the best photo updates throughout their stay, which completely put us at ease and showed just how much fun our boys were having. When it was time to come home, our pups were actually sad to leave! The energy in their home and on their beautiful property is warm and welcoming, and Alyssa and Bryan are simply the most wonderful, loving people. We feel so lucky to have them to watch our boys!”
“My doggy seemed to have a really good time with Josh and Autumn and their children. Especially the kids seem to enjoy my dog, which is always a good sign. I hope they are available the next time I need to have my doggie careful for”
“Lauren is a treasure! Always takes great care of my pups, and treats them as her own. Her home is also a true adventure for boarding, plenty of socialization and cuddles. Cannot recommend her enough.”
