“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”

“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!”

“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”

“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”

“Can’t recommend Hannah enough! She has been SO great to work with, has the best yard for playing, sent lots of pictures/updates, and our dog loves the whole family! We’re so happy to have found her, and are looking forward to more stays in the future!”

“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“Lori was such a fantastic sitter for Ladybug: she is passionate, meticulous, and committed to what she does! During Lady's stay, Lori sent frequent update photos and messages; I was also at ease that Ladybug was in great care. Will definitely book with Lori again!”

“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.”

“My dog is a very skittish and cautious boy. He had loosened up from the stress of being brought 45 minutes away from home so much when I picked him up 7 days later that he didn’t wanna leave the back yard. They were fantastic about updates and he obviously had tons of fun 👌👌”

“Jennifer was wonderful about sending photos and keeping us informed! She provided a safe and fun atmosphere for Boo to play. We loved seeing her children playing with him and holding him. He’s a very affectionate dog and I could relax knowing he was getting the attention he loves.”

“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”

“Alyson was very professional. I truly believe she took care of my Blake as if he were hers. Her communication skills were superb. She sent me pictures because she knew this was my first time doing this. I would recommend her to anybody. I would absolutely book her for Blake again.”

“Erica did amazing with our baby Zeus. He was so tired from playing with her dogs that he went to sleep as soon as we got him home. He loves playing in water and she has a kiddie pool that he basically stayed in while he was there lol. She was a very sweet and gentle person. I would definitely book again. I text while we were away to check on on him and she always got back to me promptly and even sent photos which made me feel so much better. We hope to be able to leave him there again soon.”

“Miss Ritta took great care of our Dolly, while we were away. We got daily photos of our sweet pup playing with her and other puppies. Miss Ritta was detailed and wanted Dolly to feel right at home with her. She took great care of Dolly.”

“Allison was wonderful with my boys. She clearly loves what she does, goes above and beyond, takes/sends the cutest pictures/videos! I know my cats are in very good hands with her! I will definitely book her again!”

“Our kitties love to see Kathryn coming through the door! She did a great job as always and even went to go buy us some cat litter while we were out of town. She is the best 🌟”


“I could not have asked for a better person to trust with our kitties and our home while we were out of town. Natalie went above and beyond to care for our babies. We were sent pictures of them every day when she visited and we looked forward to her visits even on vacation. Our cats were obviously comfortable with her. We will be more than grateful for her to return should we need cat care again.”

“So thankful Laura was able to walk and spend time with my dogs while I was out with some friends for a good part of the day. She communicated quickly and kindly, and she sent several pictures of my dogs while she was with them. I could tell the dogs had enjoyed themselves and used some energy with her as they were still calm and happy when I returned home. I’ll definitely reach out to Laura again, and my dogs will be excited for her return!”


“Christy catered to a last-minute request for a couple of drop-ins while I was out of town for a couple of nights. I had already booked her for a longer stay in the future, but I’m glad I added this additional session so she could get familiar with my Blueberry and he could get used to her. Needless to say, he adapted very well. Christy communicated very proactively and sent pictures often. Very much appreciated care for my baby.”


“My kitties were calm and happy when I got home, and didn't even turn their backs to me. Aubrey did a wonderful job, staying for more than just a quick litter check and food, but actually engaging them in play for 30 minutes. The pictures she sent daily said it all. They were obviously having a wonderful time with her. Will use Aubrey any time I go out of town that she's available!”

“Olivia has been doing drop-in visits for my puppy for the past few months and has been amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when I’m away. She always makes sure my puppy is well taken care of, gets plenty of attention, and keeps me updated during visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

“Grateful for Peyton who is professional and caring. She takes good care of our cats and is able to navigate difficult care instructions for our very elderly cat. Thank you!”

“Natasha was truly amazing! She worked with us on short notice and went above and beyond to accommodate us and our animals during the week of our wedding. I would absolutely recommend Natasha, and I will be reaching out again the next time we need someone to look after our cats.”


About: I rescued my cat when he was a baby. I found him under a neighbor’s house all alone. I have always loved cats, but meeting my Snoopy has made me want to care for more cats! I love playing with them! I always clean my cat’s litter box twice a day! I wash his dish after every meal and I make sure he always has access to fresh moving water! I promise to care for your cat with the same love and attention I give to mine

“Chelsea is reliable, prompt and communicates well. She uses the Rover app to provide helpful photos for the care items that mean the most to me, especially sweet photos of my kitty. Despite some initial evasion after I first departed, my kitty came to trust her very quickly. ++cj”


About: My past roommate and I had 2 cats and were fostering another. Living with cats has been a different experience than living with dogs, but I enjoy their company when they provide it! Since she moved out with the cats, I’m in a cat free house but miss their company!
“Taylor was great with our cats while we were away! She sent updates and photos and went out of her way when one wasn't seen for a couple of days. She asked neighbors if they had seen her and left food and water out in case she returned when she wasn't there. She also played with them and cleaned up their food and litter areas efficiently. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”

“Carols was the perfect sitter for my little dog. He tends to be anxious, especially around other dogs. Carols helped him feel comfortable & he got a chance to socialize with her dog which was very good for him. I hope to leave him with her again.”

“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!”

About: As a military spouse I have helped care for our dogs and many of our neighbors dogs as well. From large to small, I love dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”

“Samuel and Erica were amazing! So nice and accommodating on our last minute request. Our dog had a blast at their house and came home happy and tired from all the playtime with their dog! Who could ask for more. Highly recommend”

“Hailey was quick to respond to communication and flexible with minor timing changes. Finn seemed perfectly happy when I picked him up. A good experience for my first time using Rover.”

About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. We don't deserve the love they bring and give out unconditionally. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.

They will always have a buddy to play with as I have a one year old golden retriever who is very friendly to all.
“She did an amazing job mops was very excited whenever we came back and seemed super happy!

About: Hi, I'm Erica! Animals have never been just a hobby, they've been my entire life. With a background in Pre-Veterinary studies at ETSU, hands-on veterinary clinic experience, and years spent raising, training, grooming, and caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention and compassionate care. I currently work professionally as a dog groomer and proudly offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and grooming services in a safe, structured, and loving home environment. My home is designed with dogs in mind. We have a clean, comfortable setup, a dog door for easy access, and a fully fenced one-acre yard where pets can safely enjoy supervised playtime, zoomies, sunbathing, and plenty of sniffing adventures. I also share my home with four friendly, well-socialized dogs who help create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for visiting pets. Because I work as a groomer, I never leave pets unattended for long. Typically no more than 4–6 hours and I intentionally limit the number of pets I accept so every guest receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care. Crates are available if needed, and I maintain consistent routines to help pets feel relaxed, secure, and right at home. I have experience caring for: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior and special-needs pets • Medication administration, including oral medications and supplements • Special diets and feeding schedules • Anxiety-prone and shy pets • Multi-pet households • Cats, small animals, and reptiles I use gentle, low-stress, fear-free handling techniques and understand that some pets simply need a little extra patience, reassurance, and TLC. Whether your pet is outgoing or nervous, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable and safe. Professional grooming services are also available, including baths, brush-outs, deshedding treatments, nail trims, and full grooms. Boarding clients may even enjoy discounted grooming services so your pup can head home looking and feeling their best! You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I love sending daily photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of my own. This isn't just a side job for me caring for animals is truly my passion. I strive to keep my rates fair because I know how important it is to find reliable, trustworthy, and affordable pet care from someone who genuinely loves what they do. I welcome dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, small animals, and reptiles. Whether your companion is furry, feathered, or scaly, I'd love the opportunity to care for them and make sure they feel right at home while you're away. Additional Information • Puppy rate applies to dogs under 2 years old. • Standard drop-off and pick-up hours are 8:00 AM–7:00 PM. • Early morning or late evening drop-offs/pick-ups may incur an additional fee. • Meet-and-greets are always encouraged, but not required. • Daily photo updates available. • Limited spots available to ensure individualized attention and care. • Crates available if needed. • Grooming add-ons available for boarding and daycare guests. All of my pets and yours are my full time job so all of my attention is towards them! I do walk other pets and step out of the home at times, but I'm only gone max of 4-6hrs at a time. I have a large fenced yard to ensure all pets are safe to play outside. I do monitor constantly and no pet is ever left unattended.

Or they like going out of town for some hiking by the lake or in the mountains ⛰

“Savannah was super friendly and easy to talk to, and is definitely a dog person. My dog warmed right up to her! She was consistently on time and did a fantastic job caring for our fur babies. I love the pictures and video she sent. Made our vacation much more pleasant knowing our animals were cared for.”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor - your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I absolutely love all animals (big, small, furry, feathery - you name it!). I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for several years now, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do… it’s who I am. I have a background in emergency veterinary medicine, which means I’m calm under pressure and know how to recognize when something isn’t quite right. I currently work in general practice veterinary medicine, so I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, snuggles, medication, or just someone trustworthy to hang out with, I’ve got it covered. Your fur baby will be treated like family because that’s exactly what they are. ❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Contact me for my availability! I always have a rotating schedule, and I am available at many different times. I look forward to messaging with you! I am very cautious and loving when it comes to your animal. I will do whatever is necessary to make sure your animal is in a safe environment :)
About: Hi! I’m currently a DPT student, which means my days can be busy—but spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ve always had a love for pets and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. Even with a full academic schedule, I’m organized, responsible, and intentional with my time. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention—whether that’s getting their energy out on a walk or just relaxing and feeling comfortable at home. Pet care is also a meaningful way for me to help pay for school, so I’m grateful for every opportunity and take that responsibility seriously. Im a current physical therapy student but my summer class schedule is lighter. I don’t have full days of class so I have periods to leave for walking and potty breaks and I’m home most of the day Fri - Sunday now! If they are up for it, I can take them on trips around JC and to the dog park (I love off leash!) I can also be available for any overnight visits, and am usually free for a whole weekend. My apartment is close to downtown so has many walkable areas for your pets. There’s a big field next to my apartment that’s perfect for potty breaks. I can separate the upstairs from the downstairs if they need to be kept away from certain rooms, but they have plenty of room to roam in my apartment! In my clients home I can provide any services as needed such as walking them, playing in the yard, or crating.
About: As I was growing up, my parents- before they passed- would get different pets to help my sisters and I learn responsibility. We would have all kinds of pets such as; dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters, etc. I love being able to entertain pets and care for them! I’ve had a cat for about two years and I’ve recently adopted a dog! I am currently studying classic psychology, which helps me understand training! I’m hoping that having my own dog will help me grow and learn more about myself and my career! I am working a full-time job, but I’m also trying to support a younger sister! I can do more walks on Monday, but I’m also available Tuesdays through Fridays for evenings! At my home, I have kept my cat at free range! She enjoys most of her days on her cat tree near a window to sun bath. However, recently my cat has made my personal room her own personal room! My cat and dog are taking their time to get to know each other before they are left unsupervised! With my clients’ pets I will take care of them as if they were my own! I know that my own pets bring me so much joy and happiness, and I want to help my clients’ pets do the same for their owners!

About: I owned a dog growing up and have always loved them. My husband and I don't have any pets of our own right now which makes it perfect for dog sitting because no one has to worry about their dog getting along with our pets. We take care of our friends animals all the time and they continually bring them back to our place because we take such good care of their dogs. I own my own business, and I work out of my house. That gives me the ability to make my own schedule, making your dog a priority. I love going on walks! I know all of the best parks and walking spots in the area to take your dog. I respect everyone's home and would only treat it with respect as if it were my own home. I would be happy to talk with anyone who is interested in using my services
“Natasha has done WONDERFUL with my pup! She’s one of the few we’ve met that Bleu trusted right away and didn’t bark upon meeting her with me! She has been on time and Bleu seems to really be happy when I get home - so I know she’s doing great with her!”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats! I’ve cared for a paralyzed senior boxer who couldn’t do anything to a young, spry puppy, even goats and chickens! I love all kinds of animals! I’ve also worked at a veterinarian for a while! I’m currently home from college so I have lots of free time! I don’t currently have a summer job but if I do it’ll only be part time! I take dogs out on a leash or if you’re comfortable with them going off leash I’ll walk with them! I feed them based off of your usual feeding schedule! I will always try and keep them on their normal routine!
About: I’ve been a reliable dog sitter for family and friends for 25 years. I’m excited to meet new dog friends and enjoy making memories with your pet! I am a flexible stay at home mom with one dog of my own. I am able to assist families on a short notice or plan ahead! I have one dog in my home that is friendly with other dogs.

About: I have 20+ years of canine experience, providing expert care for dogs of all ages. I have experience working with both young puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met with care and attention. I am skilled in training and handling, and providing safe transportation. I have managed, owned and operated doggy daycares, ensuring daily play, socialization, and individualized attention. Every dog in my care receives loving, professional, and reliable care. As a dog mom myself, pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I pride myself on owning happy animals by providing constant care and attention. In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

“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!”

“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”

“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”

“Can’t recommend Hannah enough! She has been SO great to work with, has the best yard for playing, sent lots of pictures/updates, and our dog loves the whole family! We’re so happy to have found her, and are looking forward to more stays in the future!”

“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“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.”

“My dog is a very skittish and cautious boy. He had loosened up from the stress of being brought 45 minutes away from home so much when I picked him up 7 days later that he didn’t wanna leave the back yard. They were fantastic about updates and he obviously had tons of fun 👌👌”

“Jennifer was wonderful about sending photos and keeping us informed! She provided a safe and fun atmosphere for Boo to play. We loved seeing her children playing with him and holding him. He’s a very affectionate dog and I could relax knowing he was getting the attention he loves.”

“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”

“Alyson was very professional. I truly believe she took care of my Blake as if he were hers. Her communication skills were superb. She sent me pictures because she knew this was my first time doing this. I would recommend her to anybody. I would absolutely book her for Blake again.”

“Erica did amazing with our baby Zeus. He was so tired from playing with her dogs that he went to sleep as soon as we got him home. He loves playing in water and she has a kiddie pool that he basically stayed in while he was there lol. She was a very sweet and gentle person. I would definitely book again. I text while we were away to check on on him and she always got back to me promptly and even sent photos which made me feel so much better. We hope to be able to leave him there again soon.”

“Miss Ritta took great care of our Dolly, while we were away. We got daily photos of our sweet pup playing with her and other puppies. Miss Ritta was detailed and wanted Dolly to feel right at home with her. She took great care of Dolly.”

“I couldn’t be happier about his care for my mutt! She loves him like a second family and knows when we arrive at her ‘other’ home. She loves his dogs and his couch…. Ken is a great guy and knows dogs!”

“Mallory was great with all the details. Meet and greet went well and Lizzie loved her right away. I appreciated all the communication she provided about pickup and drop-off as well as Lizzie's behavior while I was gone. Will def use Mallory and her family again.”

“Hannah is the BEST!!! Highly recommended. I immediately felt like I was dealing with someone who has it together which gave me peace of mind that Moses was in good hands. She was friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates. At no point was I worried about my sweet pooch. Thank you, Hannah. You’re greatly appreciated.”
