House Sitting in Vilas

“Aaron did a wonderful job caring for our pets! He sent us photos and updates, and was responsive to our messages. Aaron has a warm and friendly personality, and I felt at ease knowing he was home with our pets. Will definitely use his services again!”

“Bella did great with both our senior dogs (who can be very needy at times). She spent a lot of time with them, and took excellent care of them and our home as if it was her own!”

About: Hello! My name is Nicole. I am a Sophomore in college at Appalachian State University. I currently have no other responsibilities besides school, so I am pretty flexible! I have a few months of Rover experience, and in that time, I got to care for both cats and dogs of different sizes and needs. I have a dog and a cat of my own, as well as 6 years of pet-sitting experience. These experiences included dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. In that time, I enjoyed being able to care for every one of them and got to form close bonds with each as well. Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my #1 priority, and I will always make sure to care for your pet to my fullest extent. This being said, no job is too big or small! I aim to create a stress-free and fun environment for everyone. I potty and crate trained my 3-year-old puppy. I’ve also had experience with all kinds of dogs from previous dog-sitting jobs, including big dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs with severe illnesses. Please feel free to reach out at any time. I am a quick responder to all forms of communication. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently a sophomore in college, and my only responsibility is school. This being said, I am pretty flexible and willing to work around my schedule if needed! i have a four-year-old toy poodle which I care for daily with the help of my family. He is crate-trained meaning I can easily provide this device for your dog as well. He is a hyperactive puppy who I love and adore!

About: I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, I’ve had many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals as well as any types of administrative medicine and training! Pet care is always a joy to me, as a college student I try I balance life and school the same. Although I focus on my dreams in the near future I always go back to my roots with growing up with animals it’s my passion. My own animals at home which range from a variety of large farm animals and regular domesticated animals, I have a deep respect for animals and how they feel living in their environment. I believe all animals deserve the same treatment and respect, whether that be regular feeding and walking or even just playing with toys, I love making them feel special and comfortable.

About: Along with cats and dogs I have cared for multiple reptiles such as pythons and geckos, rabbits, hamsters and ferrets. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also in college. I’m free any time during weekends, but I work as a Vet tech for an emergency clinic during the week so my schedule on rover isn’t always accurate. I try to be as flexible as I can :) I will follow instructions given and always ask the client first before an action if unsure. Your pet will be given the best care and my utmost attention.

“Andrew stayed with our 2 dogs overnight for 10 days while we were out of the country. Andrew was a great communicator and let us know how they were doing during our trip. He took them on multiple walks, doggie parks and car rides which we permitted. The dogs were very happy, and our house was in good shape upon our return. Very thankful for Andrew's service and professionalism; I highly recommend Andrew for overnight pet sitting.”

“Cassie was the perfect sitter for our pooch. She spent nine hours over two days with our dog Ginger who was never happier, but a little sullen when Cassie had to go. Cassie was punctual, totally professional and kept in close touch during her time with Ginger, sending updates and photos. We most highly recommend Cassie as the best sitter for your dog! She was a pleasure to work with.”

“She is totally awesome with my 2 German Shepherds. She came over for a few hours and paid good attention for them. She really knows how to take care of these 2.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. Family and friends often rely on me to feed, clean up after and walk their pets, and I'd love to do the same for you.

I feed, clean up after and exercise your pets in your home or neighborhood, while showering them with attention. I'm happy to discuss what special attention your pet needs.

“Colin is an outstanding young man who went above & beyond while watching our dog & cat while we were away for the weekend. From the meet & greet before the overnight stay, we could tell that Colin was an animal lover & very experienced in caring for pets. While away, Colin went above & beyond in making sure Memphis & Knox were extra loved on and cared for, and even sent daily updates with photos/videos. We don’t trust just anyone to care for our pets, and without hesitation would recommend Colin to anyone looking for pet care!”

“Zoe was wonderful with our two puppies. She made sure to ask all questions and really get to know our dog’s personalities. She was so caring and loving. We have anxious pup who doesn’t like another dogs so she paid close attention to that. She was very respectful to our schedule for the pup and really made sure to follow. She was a great communicator also. She was giving plenty update for us anxious parents. I would recommend her to all our friends.”

Although I do not offer boarding, I will make absolutely certain your animals stay safe in my care!

“Taylor was so good with my pup! She sent me tons of pictures of my fur baby so I knew he was in good hands. When my plans changed, she was willing to stay an extra day. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again to watch my pup!”

About: I have worked as a kennel technician before going to college to get my degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. After graduating from Appalachian State University in May 2025 I worked as a canine coach over the summer and gained expertise in dog language and behavior. Upon being hired I completed canine coach training which is extensive online courses developed by Dogtopia’a canine behaviorist to ensure coaches understand dog language and behavior management in a playroom environment. I also grew up with two large dogs and a Shih Tzu in my families home so I am comfortable with large dog and small dog breeds. Someday I would love to have my own pet care business and save dogs that are soon to be euthanized in various shelters. Thank you for your time and I hope to be your Rover soon! This link: https://www.rover.com/sit/larist40758 I will give new clients 20$ off their first booking with rover! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment, I am available M-F. However, I may be free for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays! :) Safety and trust in my clients enviornment depends on their own specific needs and boundaries! I will definitely listen and do what I need to do to keep your pet safe and make you feel comfortable :)

“Heather exceeded all of our pet-sitting expectations! My husband and I went on a week long vacation and needed a wonderful person to care for our 2dogs, 2 cats and a garden full of flowers. I could tell by our dogs demeanor that they were loved while we were gone. Can’t say enough good things about Heather - highly recommend!”

“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”
