About: “I’ve had dogs as companions since I was a child, and they’ve always been cherished members of my family. I treat every animal in my care like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not just a job, but something I truly love. Living in the Appalachian mountains has taught me the value of a calm, grounded lifestyle, and I bring that same peaceful energy into the care I provide. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, elderly, or needing extra comfort while you’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, loved, and at home in my care.” “I care for every pet with the same attentiveness and love that I give my own children. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I work hard to create a calm, dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for.
“Heather was great with my puppy, Jax! This was our first boarding experience and we would 10/10 stay with her again. She was communicative, patient with my 14 wk old and made sure he was comfortable in a new environment. Thanks for a great stay!!!”
“Elizabeth was really nice. She sent photos and updates that made us feel comfortable. Peanut has to eat four times a day and take medication, and Elizabeth didn't have any problems with that and let us know that he stayed up to date on his meds. Peanut was relaxed when we picked him up. He didn't seem stressed at all. We would book with Elizabeth again. Super grateful to have found her for a last minute business trip!”
About: Along with cats and dogs, I have cared for many exotics such as reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also a senior in college and work as a vet tech for an emergency clinic. Due to this, my schedule is constantly changing so my calander on rover isn’t always accurate, but I try to be as flexible as I can :) Owners are guaranteed to receive multiple pictures of the their pet(s) while in my care. I will follow the instructions given and always ask the owner first before an action if unsure.
“Laura is awesome!! She took perfect care of my big baby while I was in Morganton! She gave me regular updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry at all. She even endured his horrific farts! ? I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again if I'm in the area!”
“Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!”
“Karen did an exceptional job taking care of my dog! This was the first time I had left her and it was for a whole week, so I was missing her immensely. But the videos and pictures helped to ease my mind. I will def use Karen again for my dog sitting needs.”
“Sherrie was awesome. She has a huge back yard and is very nice and personable. She sent pictures of Opie and kept me updated on how she was doing. It is abt a 40 minute drive but very much worth it. We will definitely be using her again”
“McKenzie did great with Mandi and her family. You know your dog is happy when she runs to greet you and then back to Mandi’s porch to sit and get more loving. Mandi is very flexible and I will definitely be using her in the future”
“Excellent care. Fran went above and beyond caring for our dog. He had tummie issues while we were gone and Fran even cooked special food for him and fixed the problem. Her communication was very informative the entire time. Fran even went to our vet for ear drops. Wow! We could not have found a better sitter than her. A real GEM!!!!”
About: I have been a dog sitter for 6 years! I love dogs because sometimes they’re easier to talk to than humans. I would love to meet your furry friends! PM me for any further questions. I am free 7 days a week to care for you. I am a college student but I only have class 2 days a week from 9-10:15am.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and pet owners who trust me to provide reliable, loving care. I enjoy keeping pets active, comfortable, and happy through walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent routines. Previously owning a senior dog, I have firsthand experience providing attentive care for aging pets and understand the patience, consistency, and compassion they require. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time away from their owners as stress free and enjoyable as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending my free time with animals. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I am committed to making sure your pet receives attentive care and plenty of love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. As an owner of a senior dog, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and understand the patience and attention some animals require. Whether in your home or on a walk, I will treat your pet like family and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for family and friends. I’ve been trusted to feed them, check in, stay the night with them, walk them, and give them all the love they need I also have a part-time job but I’m usually home and have lots of time to look after any fur babies needed and give them all the attention. I have a very docile chihuahua and two cats. They all usually stay outside and they’re great with other animals. I have a big back yard for animals to run and play in. We also keep our chickens in the back yard but they stay in the coup so they don’t bother anyone
About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.
“Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!”

I strive to always personalize the care I give and will work with you to make sure I am able to give your cat everything they want and need. I have cared for many different breeds and personalities and my favorite thing is to find out what I can do for them to trust me. Having that breakthrough is essential.

Since earlier childhood, I have had dogs including and most recently had two beautiful and hilarious bulldogs. I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family back in Michigan. I have had experience with Rover as me and my sister for two years pet sat for several families in the Chicago area. I currently work during the week but am home in the early afternoon. I'm typically home all weekend which lends itself to being able to give dogs the attention, cuddles and care they need.

About: I have lived or been around animals ever since I was five years old. I personally have two dogs and a cat and two dogs back home. I have plenty of experience with senior dogs as my oldest poodle was fifteen before she passed. My golden doodle was a covid-19 puppy, so I was home 24/7 with her and experienced all the fun that comes with the puppy stage. Many neighbors and family friends have requested I watch their pets while away on vacation or just for the day. If the owner allows it, I love taking dogs on car rides to the park or making a quick trip to Starbucks for a pupachino! I work part time and took the fall semester off so I have plenty of free time! Whether it be an early morning walk or bathroom break or late night check in, I’m typically available. While I can’t bring any animals into my house as I have pets of my own, I love going for walks in either the owner’s neighborhood or local parks. I have no issues with animals being in my car, so we could go anywhere the owner gives the “okay” on.

“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”
“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”

“Miss Kitty was a lifesaver! She took our Labrador, Greta, at the last minute even though her schedule was already full. She truly helped us out of a jam and made it possible for us to enjoy parts of our vacation we otherwise couldn’t have. We were even late picking Greta up, and Miss Kitty was so generous and accommodating about it. Greta had a wonderful time playing with her new puppy friends, and when we picked her up, she looked at me like she was ready to stay longer! We’ll definitely book with Miss Kitty whenever we’re in North Carolina. You can’t go wrong leaving your pet in her care.”

About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.
“Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!”
