“Rosaria was so great! She sent plenty of pictures of my dog while I was away. She even cooked fresh food to add to the pups meals. My dog definitely had his own little vacation with her while we were away!”
“I hope the star system worked but if not they are a 10 in my book. Nancy and Jay were amazing and they made the experience wonderful. I felt like I knew daily what my babies were doing and it was such peace of mind. I highly recommend them and their services!!!! Wonderful experience...”
“Gus had a wonderful weekend with Jeremy and Katie! They have a very peaceful space and are so welcoming. I got to see pictures of Gus several times a day, and he was happy (but tired) when I picked him up. I will definitely book a staycation for Gus with them again!”
About: I absolutely love dogs and cats. I am willing to do check ins when you go out of town. I love all size dogs. If i do check ins I can come pretty much anytime of the day. I am also available on weekends. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I have watched dogs for many friends and family members. If you let me watch your dogs i will take great care of them for you! Dogs are the best animals and they are fun to be around. I also cat sit. I have a diabetic cat so I know a lot about cats. I will board your dog at my house but they have to be friendly with young kids and another dog and cat. I am also not too far from Weaverville. I’m a stay at home mom so I can be available all different times of the day. I am available weekdays and on the weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have bushes that separate it from the road and I can stay outside with them.
“Great experience all around. Samantha is warm and friendly and clearly loves animals. My experience was perfect and her communication is highly appreciated. Not to mention my pup lived her best life on Samantha’s farm. Not to mention I appreciate the 1 on 1 time that Samantha gave my girl. I’ll without a doubt be bringing my pup back to her… ?”
“Shirley and Jeff made our 7 days vacation enjoyable and worry free by sending updates and pictures everyday. They gave full attention, Love, care and made the stay enjoyable for our little dogs. Bonnie and Wesley enjoyed there mini vacation with there new found grandma and grandpa. We definitely look forward for our dogs staycation with Shirley and Jeff.”
“Alexis was great! Rook was happy when I picked her up and Alexis sent photos each day. Never had to worry about her while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“So kind and worked with us on short notice! Great at communicating and sending lots of cute pictures. Could tell she made our dog very comfortable! Definitely will use her again in the future. :)”
“Nicole was very good and clean environment. She was happy to watch our Angel. She does want as much information about pet as possible which is a good quality. She does exercise the pet.”

“Nellie had a great time. Brody was kind and Nellie enjoyed her stay. He sent me video’s showing me how Nellie was doing. She loved running and playing with the other dogs. I loved the fact she was not in a crate. I hope to continue using Brody for other occasions.”
“High praise for availability, punctuality, care, activities, plus tons of photos during his stay. Kaitlyn receives my highest recommendation. Max just made some “BFF - best friends forever. He will be back. Again and again.. TF”
“We had to use Megan for our Goldendoodle, Oakley, when we recently went out of town for almost two weeks..Megan was excellent when it came to our wild boy and gave us updates while we could receive them (we were in a cruise and couldn’t always send/receive messages). Megan’s prices were fair, her home was spacious and clean with a lot of room for the dogs, and we felt safe leaving our boy with her… we will definitely use Megan again for the future and will recommend her to our friends and family!! Thank you for everything, Megan!”
“I’d give Vicky 10 stars if I could. Lucy loved her time with Vicky and I felt at ease knowing she was being well loved. Vicky sent us multiple videos of Lucy, which made our time apart much more comforting. Many thanks to you, Vicky”
“Jose and Maria always take excellent care of my little dog! I receive daily updates including pictures and videos. When I travel, I don’t worry about my little girl because she’s in wonderful hands! Thank you guys!”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“So happy Rosaria was available for my last minute booking. I will definitely be using her in the future she’s so kind and sweet to my dogs they loved their time with her. She went above and beyond letting them play out all their energy.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our older kitty, Georgia Mae! She came to our home a bit early so that she could meet us and our Kitty. I was hesitant to have anyone watch our kitty, because yes, I’m an overprotective fur baby mama, and could not bring myself to put her in anyone’s care but my own. Let me tell you, letting go, and letting Kim take care of her was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Kim was so loving to Georgia Mae, she showed her caring and love of fur babies right away, and our Lil girl went right up to Kim in trust....great sign! I am already looking at other dates in the near future for Kim to again show her love for Georgia Mae, and sweet manner with myself and my husband. She is the best! Thank you Kim! Thank you Rover! We now have a wonderful new friend of our family!”
“Karmyn accepted feedback when it was shared, and met our pets needs. She learns their habits and made sure to see them at least once during each visit (scaredy cats!) thank you !”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old and have always had a passion and love for them. I currently have 15 dogs myself (5 are rescue/fosters). I previously worked for an animal rescue that has had all types of dogs (and other animals) including small & large breed dogs, special needs (seizures, diabetes, amputees), escape artists, etc. I'm also a certified Positive-Reinforcement Dog Trainer through Catch! Dog Training Academy. I would love to meet you and your dog and help with any of your needs! Walks, Drop in Visits, Watching them while you're away on vacation. I know how wonderful it is to have peace of mind while you're away from your babies and they will always be safe with me! :) I'm a small business owner (Dog Collars, Leashes, Etc.) with a very flexible schedule to easily fit you and your pet's needs. I can be available on most days or times as needed. I want to provide all pets with the love & care that they require. It is so important to me to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment where your dog can be their best self.
About: I have always had a pet or many. And have always loved animals. I consider myself the pet whisperer. I have excellent references. Pets are my passion I currently work part time. And I go to school online. This to me is ideal to earn extra money doing what I love while I still school online I’m good with detailed instructions on caring for your pet. I will do it with the most love and care sending plenty of pictures. No job too big
About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and comfort their cats while away. I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and especially good with shy or sensitive cats who need patience and a gentle presence.
About: I've cared for several cats and dogs of all ages in my life since my childhood including newborn puppies and kittens. I understand the importance of good nutrition, hygiene, exercise and affection in order for our pets to be healthy physically and emotionally. As members of the family, I understand the relief that comes with knowing and trusting someone is taking proper care of your pet when you are away. I have a very flexible schedule where I can adjust my time according to your pets needs. I am self employed part time allowing me to be available all different times of the day. I can provide trustworthy care for your pet safely in your home or on outings. I enjoy walking and running, and making trips to the dog park.
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I recently graduated with an MBA from East Tennessee State University and I’m working full time as a marketing manager for Ballad Health Medical Associates. I work 3 in days in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and work 2 days remotely Monday and Friday. My job is 2 minutes from my home so I would be able to check on your dog during lunch or check on them at your place. For this reason I don’t accept house sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday that are more than 10 miles away. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy
“She is the best I’ve ever seen and I recommend her to anyone. Now I know where to take Gil when we go to casino. I love visiting this town-Bryson City. It is great. If u want to get anyone to sit or keep ur dog Michelle and Robbie are the best. I feel safe my dog is happy and having a blast.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tom Town
“Brody jumped in at the very last minute after my plans fell through for my dog Pony. He really saved the day for me! Brody was great to meet and sent me updates with pictures. It was reassuring considering everything was so last minute. I would definitely use Brody again!”
“The most incredible dog oasis I have found to date. James and his family treated Kuzy like one of their own and Kuzy has never been happier. The consistent updates and flexibility went a long way to making me feel comfortable with Kuzy being there throughout. Deeply and truly thankful to have found them!”
“I know that Bueller had a great time with Alexis because I got regular pupdates, she ate, and she was looking for her after she was returned to us. Would definitely recommend!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about this lovely lady to do her justice! She took such good care of my baby girl! She helped her come out of her shell and was just amazing with her! She cared for her so lovingly and sent me pictures and updates of her throughout the day ! I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”
“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”
“We were very pleased with Devon. She responded to my inquiries promptly and we were able to set up our dog's day care visit. She texted me a couple of times during the day to let me know how Boone was doing. Boone seemed to have a great day with Devon. He took a long afternoon nap. We will have her watch our doodle again!”
“Carrie was an awesome sitter for my pup Benny! She was very communicative & she kept me updated on his day along with pictures. My pup seemed to really enjoy his stay! I would definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

“Tracey was wonderful. I asked for last minute dog sitting after hotel check-out so we could spend time in Gatlinburg. She responded so quickly and was very friendly and helpful. She has a cozy house close to downtown so it was very convenient. She was very sweet to the dogs. Would definitely contact her if we are in town again.”
“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”
“Love! Stephanie was super sweet and understanding. She was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and able to wear out our two noisy hounds. Provided several photos of the dogs living their best lives. Would definitely use again, if she’ll have us!”
“I am a first time Rover user and my Chloe stayed with Shirley and Jeff all day yesterday to get acquainted with them and their home. All I can say is when I came to pick her up, she was relaxed, happy and didn't really care that I was there. You don't know how happy this made me. Thank you Shirley and Jeff for treating Chloe like your own. She'll be back for more love..... Donna & Guy”
“Jennie & Craig were wonderful hosts for Willie!! He had a super fun time playing in their fenced-in yard with their dogs. The location was perfect and J&C were very accommodating. Willie has been sleeping since we arrived back home!! Thank you for giving Willie a wonderful morning of fun!”

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.

“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”
