EXCELANT, I just can’t say enough thanks to Charlene.”

“Dara was the absolute best for my two girls! Our Sunshine has separation anxiety and every picture we received from Dara, our Sunny girl looked to be enjoying every minute of her stay! She was super awesome with our no limit soldier Scout as well. She kept our babies for 5 days and they were wore slam out from their fun stay. You can 100% tell Dara has a heart for animals. Our go-to from now on!!!!”

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.
“Chuck was loved as always. It was a last minute trip and we wouldn’t want him with anyone else 😃 He is treated as part of the family, snuggled and played with, he always comes back happy.”
“Kharen was a wonderful dog sitter for Molly. She sent messages and photos several times every day, so I could see that Molly was doing fine. I would recommend her to others looking for boarding for their dogs, and I will use her again.”
“Ayaka was so great with our dog Lucy! They kept her for a full three weeks, and it was the first time we'd used Rover. Lucy tends to have separation anxiety, so we were a little nervous leaving her, but she absolutely loved staying with Ayaka and her family. In fact...she maybe didn't want to come home. Ayaka was very communicative on how Lucy was doing, sent pictures daily, and is very responsive to any questions or concerns. Lucy really loved her kids and they seemed great with dogs as well. We'll definitely book with Ayaka again in the future!”
“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Lindsy was amazing and we felt so comfortable leaving our cat in her care while we were out of town. Lindsy visited as scheduled and was very communicative, with lots of photos, video, and comments about our cat’s activities. We would definitely trust Lindsy again!”
About: I've grown up with kitties my entire life. From taking in kittens that we're abandoned and needed bottle fed every hour, to an elderly cat who needed a loving home to call their own for the last years of their lives. I am very passionate for my work with animals.
About: Out of my forty years of experience, I have learned cats are strange magical creatures that you can learn a lot from. From my first cat Kirby to the cats I have now – Witchka, Mama Cat, Spook, and Apollo, each one has taught me something different about themselves and about the world. I also have a profound respect and love for cats. I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up around a grooming solon taught me how to treat animals, and also having cats of my own taught me the responsibility and enjoyment of owning and being a cat parent. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing cat first aid • A cat whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give cats medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids!
“Meredith is the best cat sitter EVER!!! our babies have never been so comfortable while we were away! we had daily updates, quick responses, and frequent contact every time we needed her. Highly recommend :)”
“She did such a great job and went above and beyond!!! When I had an issue with wildlife critters getting in the pet door, she went there and checked on everyone right away!!! All of my cats that are normally antisocial love her!!!”
“Mason was great- highly recommend! She was so prompt in answering my request and all my messages. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing Penny was in good hands. She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Frances took wonderful care of our pets! Despite my own lack of organization on day one, she still came by to make sure they were taken care of. I’m so thankful for her flexibility, reliability, and kindness. We truly appreciate her!”
“Anne was amazing with our nervous 1 year old GSP puppy. She was patient and got him to relax and took him on a great walk! Thank you so much Anne!! ☺️ We will definitely have her look after him again in the future🩷”
About: my family has always been surrounded with dogs more than cats but i’ve worked at a vet office and helped with cats and even at my last barn job, we had 2 cats who i adored. i’m not someone to pick and choose animals and am always open to learning behaviors, routines, and care tips!
About: My name is jharasen or jp for short. I have been working with dogs and other pet for many years now at doggy daycares, pet sitting, vet clinics and at the shelter. I am available most days and time to care for your pet and try to make them feel as comfortable and excepted while they are with me. I am also working on getting my training business started here in Forset city and am currently an intern with a trainer in Mills river helping out with an agility class on Wednesday nights. having the knowledge and backing of the trainer I have been able to find creative ways to help with dogs who seemed stressed or needing more outlets when with me. I am super excited to start my journey out here in Forset city and cant wait to meet and help the community here. I hope to hear from you and your pup soon, and thank you for considering me to take care of your family pet. I have a fenced-in yard that the dogs can play in when I am home. They are also able to come in and hang out inside as well. I do keep all dogs separated when I am not home and/or able to watch them and at meal time just for safety reasons. Ibam a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open, besides for any appointments i might have to go. The only days i am consistently away from the house are Wednesdays from 10 to 3 and Thursdays from 11 to 6 when im at class. I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.
About: I love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

“Heather is amazing! I could tell from the very start that she knew a lot about animal behavior and that her dog, Louie, would be a good fit for my Willow. Heather was extremely accommodating, as far as asking if Willow needed any meals, and also with regard to ensuring Willow had her treats over the course of the day. I would absolutely, unequivocally recommend Heather for doggie daycare!”

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

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over a decade with a mix of different temperaments and personalities. I’ve also been dog and cat sitting for almost as long for friends and family. From little chihuahuas to Rottweilers, I’ve cared for many doggies. I’ve even helped train my mom’s three Belgian Malinois. Though I wouldn’t do it now with my toddler, I trained/rehabbed an abused Pitt bull seven years ago. She became the sweetest of all my dogs. My son, who is 16 months old and accompanying me, is very active, so we pretty much live outside (yes! Even when there is snow on the ground). We have a very flexible schedule except maybe when he goes to bed around 7:30/8pm Since people’s homes vary, I’m flexible with doing whatever it takes to keep your pet and others safe. Having no fence is not a problem as long as we have a leash :)
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working three days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
About: I have experience in dog training with all ages and sizes. I also have experience with horses and exotic animals. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.
About: Unless you are a pet parent, no one understands what it is like for you to open your eyes in the morning only to find another pair of eyes staring at you, and this huge tongue licking you in the face. Whether you have a cat, dog, bird, etc.., you only want the best for your pet as they are more than just pets, they are family. As pet parents know, each one has his/her own personality and charm. You must have empathy and a sense of humor to be around animals. I have been around animals my entire life (over 40 years). I grew up hanging around a grooming solon knowing how to treat animals. I was taught how to train, groom, and photograph dogs. Our pets can make you laugh when your sad, and wait for you to come home at night, and love you unconditionally. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing dog first aid • Being a dog trainer • Being a dog photographer • A dog whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give dogs medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your dog(s) or cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids! I own my own business. I can fit pet care into my schedule. I am sure I can work with the client to come into an agreement. I would like to know is there a schedule the client has for their pet, especially for the bathroom. Some pets need to go out every so often. Are there any dangers or allergies the pets has, etc. These are the types of information I will be asking the pet parent to make sure their pet is safe.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.
About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was the age of 10, I have mostly taken care of smaller dogs, but I can also take care of bigger ones.

I spend a great bit of my time making sure that they are happy and healthy, I get down to their level and spend time playing with them.

About: Hi there! I’ve had the privilege of working at the McDowell County Animal Shelter, where my passion for animals truly began to grow. That love for pets later led me to become a doggy daycare attendant in Wilmington. Over the last few years, I’ve really enjoyed meeting new people, spending time with pets, and making lasting connections through Rover. With hands-on experience in walking, feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and comfortable. ⏰ My Schedule: I work from my computer so I am completely free for pet sitting, walks, and extra snuggles. Clients often tell me their pets look happy and relaxed in the photos and videos I send. I believe animals can feel when they are genuinely loved, and that’s the kind of care I bring to every visit. Under my care, your pets will always have: ✔ Fresh food and clean water ✔ Regular walks and exercise ✔ Plenty of cuddles, play, and attention ✔ Memorable photo and video updates 📸 My promise is simple: to treat your pets like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.🐶🐾🐱 Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure they have healthy food, clean water, exercise, and a comfortable space to relax. During the week, I’m available for before and after work visits, and on weekends I’m completely free to provide longer stays, walks, and extra attention. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like quality time with a furry friend. When I care for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure they always have fresh food, clean water, exercise, and plenty of affection. Every pet is unique, so I pay close attention to their routines and personalities to keep them happy and at ease. To give you peace of mind, I send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time and feeling cared for. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that your furry family member is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I just love being around them. I have a dog of my own that I will do anything for. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm I care for pets as if they are my own children. I love on them with care and support and play with them until they are tired.

Charlene took him to the park and kept him active. She is a truly master to take care of dog. My dog had a fantastic vacation. She is also very flexible for the changes of our flight time. EXCELANT, I just can’t say enough thanks to Charlene.”
“Dara was the absolute best for my two girls! Our Sunshine has separation anxiety and every picture we received from Dara, our Sunny girl looked to be enjoying every minute of her stay! She was super awesome with our no limit soldier Scout as well. She kept our babies for 5 days and they were wore slam out from their fun stay. You can 100% tell Dara has a heart for animals. Our go-to from now on!!!!”
“Mishael was amazing--so welcoming & accommodating--which was a blessing bc our dog was stinky! We tried to get her bathed & groomed but Kotie wouldn't have it, & we needed to get out of town on short notice. Very thankful for Mishael!”
“Mason and Christian were very accommodating, even when we needed to come back one day late. Hermione seemed to thrive in their care. We will use them again!”
“This was Cheatnut’s first time away from home and Kashawna made this experience amazing for him.. She took excellent care of him and gave updates and pics of how he was doing.. Very nice family and also very knowledgeable.. Thanks again and I will definitely use her in the future”
“Chuck was loved as always. It was a last minute trip and we wouldn’t want him with anyone else 😃 He is treated as part of the family, snuggled and played with, he always comes back happy.”
“Ayaka was so great with our dog Lucy! They kept her for a full three weeks, and it was the first time we'd used Rover. Lucy tends to have separation anxiety, so we were a little nervous leaving her, but she absolutely loved staying with Ayaka and her family. In fact...she maybe didn't want to come home. Ayaka was very communicative on how Lucy was doing, sent pictures daily, and is very responsive to any questions or concerns. Lucy really loved her kids and they seemed great with dogs as well. We'll definitely book with Ayaka again in the future!”
“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Megan and Erika are amazing! They truly treated our pups like one of their own going as far as helping us out in a family emergency where we needed last minute dog sitting. Will absolutely being using them from now own for our pups! Can't recommend them enough!”
“David and April - and their dog Joe - were the perfect hosts for my dog Winnie! We had a "meet and greet" a couple of weeks before her boarding, and I immediately felt at ease. I got pictures and a short report every day which eased any concerns I might have had (I really didn't have any after the meet and greet). Their house is very clean and comfortable, and David and April made sure to give Winnie the attention she needed to quickly adjust. I am very thankful I have been able to find someone who I feel so comfortable with - and will look forward to my next trip knowing Winnie will be very well cared for.”
“Annie was the best with our 3 dogs. Before book her i look a lot of profiles and she had the best comments so even when she was one hour far from me i book her and was the best decision. She sent me photos of my dogs frequently and replying all my messages. I'm really picky about my dogs but she was amazing with them, they were happy to be in her house”
“Jaclyn and her family were great with lulu. Lulu had a great time with them and their pup Tyson. Nice big yard for her to run around in and played great with Tyson. I have never seen my dog snuggle up to our other dog at home, like she did with Tyson! Will defineately book again with them. They were overall amazing!!! Definitely recommend to other rover users.”
