About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
“Miss Ada was awesome to work with! We had a last minute change of plans & they were still willing to work with us. She sent pictures & videos several times a day. Our Piper puppy had a wonderful time. Thanks so much!”
“I love using Susan and her girls to care for my dog, Macy! She always keeps me updated with the cutest pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while i am away. Susan is also incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. It’s clear that Macy is well cared for and happy every time we use her. I highly recommend her!”
“Hayley and her family were absolutely AMAZING. One of the best dog sitters on Rover. Her experience with rescues and fosters made me so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She made sure my dog was well loved, walked, and taken care of. Constant pictures and videos kept me up to date. She responds so quickly. 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Alexis and her family really care for your pets well being. They make sure that all their needs are managed. Getting the pictures and updates are a bonus! I will book again!”

Watauga dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog and made the entire boarding experience stress-free and comforting. She genuinely cares for animals and treated our dog like family from the very beginning. Throughout the stay, she was attentive, reliable, and made sure our pup felt safe, happy, and loved. When we picked our dog up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well taken care of, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Emily exceeded every expectation, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog boarder, and we will definitely be booking with her again.
Clayton was absolutely phenomenal in taking care of our very active german shepherd while we were on a two week international vacation. We received photos and videos on a daily basis which made us SO happy to see, and it was very clear Clayton treated him as one of the family and they got into a routine with playtime and exercise. We will be thrilled to book with Clayton again and it's awesome to feel so good while away knowing Adolphus is happy and so well-cared (spoiled! )for!
We were honestly anxious about leaving our English bulldog because he can be high maintenance and very reactionary around other dogs, but finding Jada was such a relief. She was patient, understanding, and made us feel comfortable from the start. Jada took great care of him, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It is clear she genuinely cares and knows how to handle dogs with different personalities and needs. We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable to care for their pet.
We had such a wonderful experience with this pet sitting family! It’s clear they truly love and care for dogs like their own. They kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their youngest daughter was especially sweet and shared the cutest stories about all the adventures she had with our pup. It meant a lot to know our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved and having fun. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend their services!
Lauren was amazing & so kind! our dogs are a little older (and a little stubborn) and she had no problems settling in to their normal routine. she provided great updates so we always felt like they were being taken care of. Lauren is definitely our new go-to for whenever we are out of town. thank you!
My pup loved loved loved staying with Alexis and her family. She came home calm and relaxed because of so much play time. I got lots of updates with pictures and videos. I hesitate to rave too much about them so they won't be booked with other people when I need them. Such a wonderful pet sitter!
Elise was amazing! This was the longest time Nova has been away from us and i was alittle nervous. Elise put me at ease with consistent photos and updates and nova really seemed to enjoy herself. Elise gave her extra love and treated her like part of the family. I would definitely recommend, and will use her in the future.
