Myra and her husband did a great job with my fur babies. I received updates and photos. It seems like they had a great time as they are very calm but tired. I will definitely book with them again the next time I go out of town. Thank you both so very much. ??

Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!

Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.

If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.

Such a great and reliable sitter. Was able to do a last minute reservation and pick up both my dog and cat and bring them back!! Has a huge fenced in yard so my dog can play all day w other dogs. Kept the cats litter box so clean I didn’t even have to change it when they brought it back. Was able to extend a two day reservation on a day to day basis up to 5 days as we were moving and our schedule was erratic. Natalie and her husband are truly the best

Jill was wonderful! We were in a particularly tough situation and she went above and beyond to make sure my pups and I were all very comfortable. She treated them like two of her own. My dogs had a wonderful time exploring her fenced in farm and had a vacation of their own. She routinely sent pictures, many of which were of them exhausted after play time! I will 100% use Jill again!

Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.

I booked this boarding stay last-minute, after our initial pet care plan fell through, but it really couldn’t have worked out better! Valentine and her family were so great with my pup, Rocky. They kept her safe and busy while my husband and I participated in a friend’s wedding festivities. I felt confident leaving Rocky with Valentine, and I would definitely book again if ever back in the area. She’s caring and knows what she’s doing with animals, for sure.

Brittany is EXACTLY what my senior dog needed. She met all his needs plus some and understood all his quirks. Even gave him a bath with a bonus bandana before pickup ?. She was able to feed him medicine and carry him up/down stairs. Very accomadable to providing him comfort with his multiple beds, blankets and pillows. Her family and children reacted well and she sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. I have full confidence that any pet will feel welcome in her cozy log cabin home sitting on a couple acres with plenty of grass area for them to run and play. Brittany was able to provide constant supervision for my dementia boy who panics when alone. He had no anxiety while with her and didn't even care that I left, he felt right at home with Brittany. So glad she was available and local to home, it was a yuge relief!!

Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

She will be the first Rover person I will contact moving forward!

About: I have had many different animals my entire life including cats, ferrets, chinchillas, chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits… In my 20’s I founded “Not Just Pets, Professional Pet Care”. In my 30’s I founded “Equine Specialist, Care and Training”. I had horses for over 30 years. I trained, showed, pleasure road, belonged to 3 horse clubs and eventually started my own 4-H club. I have bred and trained Boston Terriers and German Shepherds. Currently, I have 4 dogs that I rescued from a SC kill shelter. I have worked with Aly from Coal Mountain and Karen from Arcadia Animal Rescue’s. Both have been amazed by how well adjusted the four dogs have become considering how terrified they were in which no one else would take a chance on. Animals are my passion and greatest friends! I am currently taking an online course to become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. I work for myself taking care of Seniors and animals. Relocated 04.07.2025 from Maine. I make my own schedule and am flexible to care for your furry family! Every situation can be different. Meeting with the client and their animals is important. I like to know about any vices, medications, vet info, where supplies are at, etc. Taking notes and leaving daily notes for each client keeps communication open and I find is appreciated.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by pups and has always had dogs as part of my family. Currently, I have an Australian Shepherd and a Lab, so I’m very familiar with both high-energy playtime and laid-back cuddle sessions. I’ve also worked at pet boarding facilities, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. From feeding routines to playtime and keeping pups comfortable while their owners are away, I truly understand what it takes to provide safe, loving care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable daily visits and walks. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’d love to help keep your furry friend happy, active, and well cared for!

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

About: I have extensive pet care experience, having owned and cared for two beloved dogs that each lived long, happy lives—one reaching 18 years and the other 20 years. Over the course of their lives, I gained hands-on experience with all aspects of dog care, including feeding routines, exercise, grooming, administering medications, and providing a nurturing, loving environment. I am very familiar with the needs of both young and senior dogs, including maintaining their health and comfort through all stages of life. Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for dogs. I am available to provide attentive pet sitting, ensuring that dogs under my care receive not only their basic necessities but also companionship, playtime, and affection. My focus is on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether they need daily walks, special diets, or just someone to spend quality time with them. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I bring years of experience, patience, and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting opportunity. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as a retiree. With flexible days, I can easily schedule visits, walks, and playtime around my personal errands and hobbies. Caring for pets gives structure to my mornings and afternoons, and it adds a joyful sense of purpose to my week. When I dog sit in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping the dogs happy, safe, and comfortable by following their usual routine for meals, walks, and rest. I always get detailed instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and emergency contacts. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, and I monitor their health by watching their appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels. I keep a clean and safe environment by securing doors and gates, cleaning up after them, and making sure water and food bowls are fresh. I also spend quality time giving them attention and affection, respect their personality and comfort level, and send regular updates to the owner. By staying attentive, organized, and caring, I provide a stress-free, positive experience for both the dogs and their owners.

Also I love to help train and keep dogs active. I am currently working on my own schedule, so pet care fits in almost any time. I am very flexible to care for and walk dogs. I will keeps dogs on a lease unless in a fenced in backyard. I will also not put dogs in any threatening situations like dog parks or crowded areas. My wife is the cat expert, and I am allergic, so she would likely help with any cats.

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m McKenzie and I’m a full-time Rover sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they stay on their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care is part of my daily routine because I’m currently working full-time through Rover, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure to structure my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and relaxation time so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I truly love spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are closely supervised and kept on their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel relaxed and secure. I love spending time outdoors with dogs for walks, exercise, and playtime, but I always make sure pets are leashed and safely supervised when outside. My yard is currently not fenced in, so I prioritize safe neighborhood walks and structured outdoor time to keep pets active and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home, while making sure their pets stick to the routines they’re used to. Communication is also very important to me, so I’m happy to follow any special instructions and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

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.

About: Hello my name is Noah, I’ve taken care of many breeds of dogs and cats all ages for many years. I have dealt with all age groups with a variety of specialized needs from diets to health needs. I not only have my own fur babies but I take care of the dogs and cats at work by walking them, making sure they have food and water, and clean safe place to sleep. I work with kids in a group home and I work a week on a week off so on my weeks off I have open availability. I am new to NC as I just got married and my wife Kaylee who also has worked with kids and has 10+ years of experience and I are looking for a second job to add some extra purpose and happiness and as much as we love animals I know this would be a great fit. Her and I are both happy to come on meet and greets and discuss any and all pet care needs and we share duties and responsibilities on rover due to schedules. Her and I want to always make sure we respect any owners care instructions and make sure your fur babies are given the best care possible so that you can be assured they are cared for while you are away. I love all animals and am always looking to get involved and give back where I can as animals give so much selfless love to humans. I’m very active and have helped with potty training as well as training kittens to use the litter box. I feel I have a lot of patience and understanding to each animals and families individual needs. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can manage my time very well. I hope to find a few good fits as I finish school and to provide the best care to the animals and owners. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs and also walk them daily. They are crate trained and house trained as well. If the customer has a fenced in yard that is great and if not I do not mind going on walks or jogs with the dogs.

About: I have been a large and small breed dog owner and caretaker for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of most all sizes, ages, and breeds. Nothing suprises me and nothing is too much for me to handle. I have professional grooming experience and can provide baths for your dog(s) if wanted. I am usually very affectionate with dogs, but can adjust to your specific communication style if specified. I am constantly learning more about dog behavior and feel passionate about providing the best experience for both you and your dog. I am self-employed so have lots of flexibility on a day to day basis. I have a partner who helps care for my own pets, so yours will always be my top priority! I enjoy walking dogs and playing with cats (if they let me! haha). Animals are such an important part of so many of our life’s and I treat each pet I sit like my own!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting with pet sitting for neighbors when I was in elementary school. While attending college in Raleigh, I expanded my pet sitting work and cared for multiple families with a wide range of pets and personalities. Before moving back to this area, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I provided daily exercise, supervised play, administered medications—including insulin injections—and made sure each dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pet dependable care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means a walk, playtime, a midday potty break, or extra patience with senior pets, I treat every animal with the same kindness and attentiveness I’d want for my own. I understand that every pet has a different routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my daytime schedule is flexible and easy to plan around. My weekly routine is generally very consistent, which means I know my availability well in advance and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and midday care without last-minute surprises. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m able to step away for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or medication visits while still keeping a reliable schedule for both pets and their owners. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding in my home, but I take caring for pets in their own environment seriously. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. I always make sure doors are secure, water bowls are fresh, and pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I also pay attention to small details—cleaning up any messes, checking that toys are safe, and moving anything that could pose a risk (for example, a torn stuffed toy that could be chewed apart). One of the best compliments I’ve received from a client came after a week-long house sit: they told me, “It never even looked like you were here.” That’s exactly the experience I aim to provide—reliable, attentive care for your pet, and complete peace of mind for you.

About: I have owned, grown up with, and taken care of animals since I could walk. The day that I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I actually went and picked up my Pitty MIx from the shelter and we were best friends for the best 11 years. Animals are misunderstood in so many different ways, and require patience, attention to detail, and most importantly love. I am very driven, schedule oriented, can multitask, and observant in everything that I do. I have a reliable source of transportation, my own home in Morganton, and will always be just a phone call/text away. I have taken care of all age ranges from puppies to senior dogs, because I have owned dogs from birth until their final days. Its not the easiest thing some days but it is the most rewarding. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday 0600-1630, and off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pet care fits into my routine because I have a dog of my own that requires daily walks and interactions with others at daycare. I have a fenced in back yard, that I am able to watch from at all times. My dog is allowed on the furniture and also goes with me on car rides. My dog is everything to me and is reflective of that in my pride with other animals. They're family!

About: Hello! I'm Coryne, and I'm a student mental health therapist and a huge animal lover! I grew up around all sorts of animals, from cats and dogs, to horses and parrots. While I’m in school, I always find myself wanting more animal time, and I am always happy to meet new pets and help out their hard working parents! I know what it's like to be a dog parent that sometimes needs some extra help! I have plenty of personal and professional experience taking care of mainly dogs, cats, and horses, and I do have some experience with bunnies and birds. I’ve also worked in shelters, doggy daycares, and horse barns! With all of these animals, I have vast experience in many methods of care, including feeding and medicating. With the experience I gained over my life, I have become very familiar with animals of many kinds and needs. I am thrilled at the idea of meeting new furry friends and offering the care and attention they need! I could not think of any better way to fill my time between my classes and internship. I hope to offer just as much love and care to your pet as you would yourself! **PLEASE READ** My real availability may vary slightly than what is seen on this calendar, so to make this easier on you, here are the times and days I am most likely available: MONDAY: Mornings: 6AM-8AM Afternoons: 3PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM TUESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-7AM Afternoons: NONE Evenings: 7PM-10PM WEDNESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-9AM Afternoons: 1PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM THURSDAY: Mornings: 6AM-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-3PM Evenings: Biweekly class, sometimes NO availability FRIDAY: Mornings: 10-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-6PM I take safety and security very seriously and I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your pet. No matter what type of pet you have, I will happily provide the care needed to ensure their safety based on your instructions and your pet's specific needs. I have understanding and experience in these needs because I am a pet parent to an anxious and reactive dog! Because of this, I recognize no need is too big or small for your pet, and I will provide whatever you and your pet need to feel safe!

About: I have had many different animals my entire life including cats, ferrets, chinchillas, chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits… In my 20’s I founded “Not Just Pets, Professional Pet Care”. In my 30’s I founded “Equine Specialist, Care and Training”. I had horses for over 30 years. I trained, showed, pleasure road, belonged to 3 horse clubs and eventually started my own 4-H club. I have bred and trained Boston Terriers and German Shepherds. Currently, I have 4 dogs that I rescued from a SC kill shelter. I have worked with Aly from Coal Mountain and Karen from Arcadia Animal Rescue’s. Both have been amazed by how well adjusted the four dogs have become considering how terrified they were in which no one else would take a chance on. Animals are my passion and greatest friends! I am currently taking an online course to become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. I work for myself taking care of Seniors and animals. Relocated 04.07.2025 from Maine. I make my own schedule and am flexible to care for your furry family! Every situation can be different. Meeting with the client and their animals is important. I like to know about any vices, medications, vet info, where supplies are at, etc. Taking notes and leaving daily notes for each client keeps communication open and I find is appreciated.

Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!

Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.

If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.

Such a great and reliable sitter. Was able to do a last minute reservation and pick up both my dog and cat and bring them back!! Has a huge fenced in yard so my dog can play all day w other dogs. Kept the cats litter box so clean I didn’t even have to change it when they brought it back. Was able to extend a two day reservation on a day to day basis up to 5 days as we were moving and our schedule was erratic. Natalie and her husband are truly the best

Jill was wonderful! We were in a particularly tough situation and she went above and beyond to make sure my pups and I were all very comfortable. She treated them like two of her own. My dogs had a wonderful time exploring her fenced in farm and had a vacation of their own. She routinely sent pictures, many of which were of them exhausted after play time! I will 100% use Jill again!

Ginia gave me updates daily which assured us we made a good decision choosing them to care for Daisy. We will definitely be using Ginia again. Feel confident in booking with Ginia.

I booked this boarding stay last-minute, after our initial pet care plan fell through, but it really couldn’t have worked out better! Valentine and her family were so great with my pup, Rocky. They kept her safe and busy while my husband and I participated in a friend’s wedding festivities. I felt confident leaving Rocky with Valentine, and I would definitely book again if ever back in the area. She’s caring and knows what she’s doing with animals, for sure.

Brittany is EXACTLY what my senior dog needed. She met all his needs plus some and understood all his quirks. Even gave him a bath with a bonus bandana before pickup ?. She was able to feed him medicine and carry him up/down stairs. Very accomadable to providing him comfort with his multiple beds, blankets and pillows. Her family and children reacted well and she sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. I have full confidence that any pet will feel welcome in her cozy log cabin home sitting on a couple acres with plenty of grass area for them to run and play. Brittany was able to provide constant supervision for my dementia boy who panics when alone. He had no anxiety while with her and didn't even care that I left, he felt right at home with Brittany. So glad she was available and local to home, it was a yuge relief!!

Wonderful, I love the convenience of having her pick him up and drop him off, he was worn out when he got home which is great, he got to burn off lots of energy, and she was a sweetheart, who had a long goodbye of kisses from Gucci

Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

Our Hubble is already counting the days until his next stay with Taylor! He is a bit timid, but warmed up quickly to Taylor. He also made fast friends with her 2 dogs and her cats. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures so we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Hubble often misses meals when he is away from us but he only missed a couple during his 6 days with Taylor, that says a lot about his comfort level with her and her pets! We highly recommend and will use Taylor again!
