“Erica was great. She kept our two large breeds for a weekend and kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pics! Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
“Great person and great place for my old buddy to hang out for the week. Immediately felt safe when dropping Iko off, and picked up a very happy (and tired!) dog a week later. He seemed like he had a lot of fun and his separation anxiety seemed totally nonexistent, which has not always been the case with other sitters. Will hire Gracie again in a heartbeat, and strongly recommend to others!”

“Heather was great! She was flexible with timing of drop off and pickup, which I really appreciated. She was super positive about my pups stay, which was great to hear at pick-up! Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Boone area!!”


“Thom was the absolute BEST dog sitter I have ever had. And I have been using rover for years! He sent me frequent pictures, videos, and updates of my girl while she was there. He took amazing care of her and handled her high energy so well! He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and so kind. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my girl with a new sitter. I recommend him to everyone!”

“Jimena did a terrific job of pet sitting my 2 dogs. They were well tended, with excellent communication and photos and videos thru out their stay. I will definitely reach out to Jimena again thru Rover for the next time I need to board them. Thank you, Jimena!”

“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”


“Chestnut was awesome- we felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 year old cocker with her. It was obvious. To me that she loved dogs and mine would get amazing care & love. She sent daily updates & pictures which my entire family loved seeing. She communicated before, during and after my dogs stay. We had never used Rover before but would most definitely use Chestnut again should the opportunity arise. It was a good feeling and comfort to know our dog was in good hands.”

“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”

About: Hi! I am no stranger to walks, accidents, or muddy paws! I have experience with lots of different personalities and breeds. I am more than happy to take care of your pets while you're away. I am okay with negotiating prices that work better for you. I am currently a student at Appalachian State University. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am available to come & go as needed! If times are tight, I will let you know in advance. Class Schedule: MWF - 12:00 pm to 12:50 pm TTH - 9:00 am to 3:15 pm. I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them run and play in the backyard while supervised, crate them if needed, and keep up with their regular feeding schedule. I will make sure they get plenty of bathroom breaks, attention, and care while you're away! :)
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”

About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.
“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).

Friends and relatives have relied on me and continue to rely on me to feed, look after and play with their pets when they are away. I will love your pets as my own while in my care. I have many years of experience in potty training puppies, crate training dogs of all ages, custom building dog houses for my own pets, Caring for puppies and kittens all the way up through senior years.

I'm always available for a meet and greet session before booking. We can discuss any special needs, requirements or anything else that you or I need to know about your pet during that time while I get to know you and your pet. I am usually available for boarding any time and any day of the week. I prefer drop off and pickups to be scheduled in afternoons after 5pm or anytime on the weekends. I am available for doggy day care most weekends (Saturday & Sunday). I am available for dog walks on most weekday afternoons after 6pm M-F and anytime on the weekends.

“Emily was fantastic with our 5 cats for the past week. She took care of everything as described and kept everyone very happy. What started with only 2 cats wanting to hang out at the beginning of the week, ended with Emily winning everyone's trust by the end. Would highly recommend!”


“Megan and Josh were absolutely amazing house sitters! They took the best care of my girl Khloe, sent me daily photo updates, and left the house way cleaner than it was before. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of animals since as long as I can remember! In total I have had 1 Beagle, 2 Golden Retrievers and 3 Cats to my name. I have fostered a total of 6 rabbits, 12 Cats, and 1 mouse that was pregnant and turned into 10 mice. As a former elementary school teacher and now a preacher, I’m used to being responsible, attentive, patient, and dependable. I also help my boss run a local business, which gives me a flexible schedule rather than a traditional 9–5 workday. This allows me to have plenty of flexibility and availability to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m organized and comfortable managing schedules, routines, and responsibilities. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they need. My experience as a teacher has taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of being attentive to individual needs. You can trust that your pet will be treated with love, safety, and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I live on a good amount of land with plenty of space to provide your pet with a safe, active, and stimulating environment. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs, from regular exercise and playtime to companionship and individual care. I also drive a minivan, which gives me the ability to safely transport pets when needed and provide opportunities for outdoor time and adventures. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, playing outside, going for a ride, or simply relaxing and keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get a good balance of exercise, attention, and love. I can also help look after your home while you’re away by watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and making sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands!

“Melissa was friendly, warm, and sent updates. Their dogs seemed easy and friendly with our pup, who was tired and happy when we picked her up. We'd be happy to call on Melissa again.”

“I would highly recommend Alyson. She sends pictures and responds immediately if you ask for an update on your pet. My dog went for doggie daycare and was very eager to go and play with her dogs! I would definitely use her services again.”


“This was my first experience and it went great. Thomas was very nice, communicative, and easy to work with. He kept me updated throughout the stay, and I felt confident that my dogs were in good hands. I would happily book with him again.”

“Carola was super accommodating and flexible when we contacted her on short notice to see if she could watch our high energy pup while we went for a hike in the provincial park (no dogs allowed). Drop-off went well and she allowed us to supervise while we introduced our dog to hers. She went above and beyond in caring for him and he was super happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Our experience was outstanding! Amanda was very kind and accommodating to us and took great care of our sheepadoodle while we went to a tennis tournament in Hickory. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog throughout the day to show how much fun she was having. They have a fantastic shaded fenced in yard where our dog was able to run around and play. We cannot be happier with our experience and will absolutely take her back the next time we have to be away.”

About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have four Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
“Ken took excellent care of my lil girl! Above and beyond with walks, dog park outings, playtime and chill time. Georgie was very excited to go to Ken’s each day and we will absolutely be a repeat customer from now on.”

“Our fur babies had the BEST time with Amanda and her family. Cannot say enough great things!!! Our babies were socialized, loved on, and came home tired- which is exactly what we needed!!! AND she gave us a goodie bag! ❤️ we will definitely use them again when we are in town.”

“Lori did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Claire, during daycare! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Claire can be a little particular at times, but Lori made her feel completely comfortable and at ease right away. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked Claire up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing she was safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend Lori to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

“Leaving our beloved dog, Abby, with a total stranger was a first for us, but we were camping and needed a dog sitter for half a day. From the moment we got out of the truck, Gracie was interacting with Abby. It was like they were old friends. Abby had a fun day with Gracie, her dog, and the fenced in backyard. Gracie also sent us the cutest picture. She deserves the 5-star rating and has our highest recommendation!”

“Kourtney was fabulous with our two pups while we biked the nearby Creeper Trail. She is friendly, took wonderful care of them, provided exercise and treats. We would definitely visit her again!”

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely.

Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.
About: I've taken care of animals since as long as I can remember! In total I have had 1 Beagle, 2 Golden Retrievers and 3 Cats to my name. I have fostered a total of 6 rabbits, 12 Cats, and 1 mouse that was pregnant and turned into 10 mice. As a former elementary school teacher and now a preacher, I’m used to being responsible, attentive, patient, and dependable. I also help my boss run a local business, which gives me a flexible schedule rather than a traditional 9–5 workday. This allows me to have plenty of flexibility and availability to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m organized and comfortable managing schedules, routines, and responsibilities. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they need. My experience as a teacher has taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of being attentive to individual needs. You can trust that your pet will be treated with love, safety, and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I live on a good amount of land with plenty of space to provide your pet with a safe, active, and stimulating environment. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs, from regular exercise and playtime to companionship and individual care. I also drive a minivan, which gives me the ability to safely transport pets when needed and provide opportunities for outdoor time and adventures. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, playing outside, going for a ride, or simply relaxing and keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get a good balance of exercise, attention, and love. I can also help look after your home while you’re away by watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and making sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands!
About: Pet care is my full time job, so I have open availability! I am also a proud owner of a fully trained German Shepard. I’m open to doing dog walking/playtime, day sitting and overnights! I’m a full time student graduating in criminal justice with bachelor degree this coming summer 2027 who is responsible and dependable. All prices are negotiable depending on the needs. I’ve been a pet lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. I’m 22 yrs old now and a proud owner of a 5 yr old German Shepherd who is fully trained. I believe all animals deserve one on one attention, care, & Love. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are met first. Along with assuring each pet is happy and are enjoying their time with me. So much that I want them to be excited with just hearing my name. Whether in my home or at a clients home I follow any specific care instructions, maintain a clean space and provide consistent attentions, love and care to help pets feel safe and happy in my presence.
About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

About: **Former housesitting duo with my husband! We have now settled into Linville Land Harbor and had a baby so I am only accepting drop-in and walk requests at this time** Hi! I'm Megan! As a former Kennel/Vet Tech with Vet Tech schooling and growing up with dogs, cats, horses and chickens, I have always had a special bond and connection to animals. I have experience with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! As a stay at home mom with a husband who works from home, I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule! I would love to help out with drop-ins and dog walks! I take the safety of your pets and the care of your home very serious.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, reliable hands. As a college student, I don’t have the time to have a pet of my own right now, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with animals while helping other pet owners. I genuinely enjoy caring for pets, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I love being able to give pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. If I care for a pet in my own home, I’ll provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection.

“Erica was great. She kept our two large breeds for a weekend and kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pics! Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
“Great person and great place for my old buddy to hang out for the week. Immediately felt safe when dropping Iko off, and picked up a very happy (and tired!) dog a week later. He seemed like he had a lot of fun and his separation anxiety seemed totally nonexistent, which has not always been the case with other sitters. Will hire Gracie again in a heartbeat, and strongly recommend to others!”

“Heather was great! She was flexible with timing of drop off and pickup, which I really appreciated. She was super positive about my pups stay, which was great to hear at pick-up! Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Boone area!!”


“Thom was the absolute BEST dog sitter I have ever had. And I have been using rover for years! He sent me frequent pictures, videos, and updates of my girl while she was there. He took amazing care of her and handled her high energy so well! He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and so kind. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my girl with a new sitter. I recommend him to everyone!”

“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”

“Jimena did a terrific job of pet sitting my 2 dogs. They were well tended, with excellent communication and photos and videos thru out their stay. I will definitely reach out to Jimena again thru Rover for the next time I need to board them. Thank you, Jimena!”

“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”


“Roosevelt had a great time staying with Melissa and her sweet family! We booked last minute, but Melissa was extremely accommodating, even on short notice. She sent regular check-ins and was very easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and sharing detailed updates on what Roosevelt had been up to. Her house had a large fenced-in backyard that was perfect for running around, and a cute neighborhood for walks. I will absolutely be booking with Melissa again, and would recommend her to friends and family.”

“Katy was great! She was very communicative and willing to flexible about drop off time/location. She sent some updates and pics of Bender, and he was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”


“Chestnut was awesome- we felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 year old cocker with her. It was obvious. To me that she loved dogs and mine would get amazing care & love. She sent daily updates & pictures which my entire family loved seeing. She communicated before, during and after my dogs stay. We had never used Rover before but would most definitely use Chestnut again should the opportunity arise. It was a good feeling and comfort to know our dog was in good hands.”

“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”
