“Samantha is absolutely incredible! She recently watched our four pets (two dogs and two cats) and provided the absolute best care we could have asked for. Right from the start, her attention and care stood out. On the very first day, our dogs had a couple of accidents, and Samantha handled the pee and poop cleanup immediately and communicated with me. Our cat Jasmine was feeling quite shy and hid for the first day, but Samantha took the time to look for her and coax her out of her hiding spot. After which, we received frequent pictures of our sweet girl. Overall, we received lots of updates and pictures during every single visit, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found Samantha and cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jennifer, aka “Momma Rover,” is absolutely amazing! ❤️ She takes such wonderful care of my Clover girl, and I never have to worry about her when we travel. Clover absolutely LOVES seeing Jennifer every time we leave town, and that means the world to me. Jennifer treats Clover like one of her own and always goes above and beyond to make sure she is happy, loved, and well cared for. Knowing Clover is with someone she loves and trusts makes traveling so much easier. We are so thankful for Jennifer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their fur babies. She truly is the best ❤️🐶”
“Kimberly is always so great to work with. My family and I know that our pups well cared for when she’s coming to help care for them. My pups love her and so do we!”
About: I grew up with two mini schnauzers and pet-sat throughout high school and middle school! I love going on walks, especially if they come with animal therapy! Additionally, I have experience fostering pets from the local animal shelter. I currently work full-time but am available in the evenings from 5 to 8 PM, Monday through Thursday. I am also free all day on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. I am comfortable walking, feeding, watering, washing, and crating animals in their homes. I have experience giving insulin injections, too. I do not have any yard space available at my apartment to offer.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I’ve had the opportunity to care for many pets belonging to family and friends, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications when needed. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely reassured while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, attention, plenty of love, and lots of updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re apart. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I love having the opportunity to fill my days with something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals! 🐾 Because I have plenty of availability, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and care they deserve rather than making them feel like they’re just another stop in a busy day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I know pets are happiest when things feel familiar, so I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and playtime. I’ll give your pet lots of attention and companionship while also respecting their personality and individual needs. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or happiest curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. ❤️
“Hope is super sweet and very reliable. She communicates well and my doggo loves when she visits. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thank you for everything Hope!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for the last 20 years. My son and I are huge animal lovers that are looking to walk dogs and check in on pets. My schedule is fairly open. My son is homeschooled and I work from home, so we are open to working with people to create a schedule that works. My son and I moved to the area so that he can play hockey. Unfortunately, we rent so we are unable to have animals at our home since our English bulldog passed recently.
“The best pet sitter! Very trustworthy and calmed my nerves! My dog is very hyper and has a hard time with new people but he always seemed happy. Would recommend Kayli to anyone.”
About: I’m a hugee dog lover. I grew up with dogs and once had 12 of them living in our house. As a stay at home wife, I’m available to give your fur baby the loving care they need while you’re out taking care of life’s things. I am a stay home wife so I have a plenty of time to look after your pet. They will be attended at all times. We have a fully fenced backyard that directly faces a beautiful park, making it ideal for safe, supervised play and daily walks. I will provide a loving, secure home environment for your pets. I’m very attentive to their needs, routines, and safety at all times.
“Summer is just awesome 🥰My Boys loves her.She takes care of my 3 Yorkshire terriers,walks them,feeds them,plays/cuddles them & gives one of them his insulin shots twice @ day.Highly recommended ❤️”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover and owner of my entire life growing up with two dogs in my childhood and raising two dogs as an adult. My current Companion is an 11-year-old boxer and I also previously owned another beloved boxer so high energy breeds and sweet, senior pups hold a special place in my heart. I am a part-time worker and have availability after 12:30 on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I do have availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it’s a bit more limited. And I do have availability on the weekends. At home, I treat my two dogs like my family. They eat well and get lots of love and play time! I will give your dog the same love and affection as if they are my own!
“Amanda was AWESOME! She showed up every day on time, completed all the tasks, stayed the full time, took great care of our fur baby and even loved ❤️ on him, which meant a lot. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. For the last 15+ years, I have been a dedicated owner to two highly active Shepherds, which means I am incredibly comfortable with high-energy working breeds and dogs of all sizes. I frequently sit multiple large dogs (50+ lbs) at the same time, so managing a lively pack is second nature to me. While I am not a professional trainer, I have a deep understanding of dog behavior. My own dog holds an AKC certification, and we actively practice tricks and obedience together. When I am walking or watching your dog, I don't just keep them safe, I actively engage with them, read their body language, and help reinforce their good habits. I currently work part-time during the day, and I am fully available Monday through Sunday after 5 p.m. My evenings are wide open and perfect for taking your pup on a long walk. As a dog walker, my top priority is leash safety and situational awareness. Having handled active Shepherds and 50+ lb dogs for 15+ years, I know how to read canine body language and avoid potential stressors on our route. I always double-check harnesses and collars, ensure your dog gets fresh water post-walk if needed, and securely lock your home before leaving.
“Meagan is outstanding with a wonderful sense of humor. I loved her updates and photos. I never once worried about my Duke. I know he was well taken care of and loved.”
“Absolutely amazing! Kaylan is fantastic! She made our first ever vacation without the dogs stress-free and peaceful. So grateful! She went above and beyond and she even watered my flowers! Thank you Kaylan!”
About: I currently a part time nails tech, I went to people houses and every single client who have dogs and they're so friendly so I would like to join in the team and want to become a sitter, petting and playing with them 😍 Currently my kids are out of school for summer I have panty of time to join what I love to do, even when they go back to school I can do during school hours I have a big background with fences and a cat at home, my kids would love to be around and play, hope to see your pet here with us
“I could not have found a better person to watch our dogs! Ashley was everything we needed plus more! I will for sure be using her again! Thank you for sending the many pictures and treating my dogs like your own!”
“Judi was great. She of course did all the things required by Rover, but she really seemed to understand my two boys personalities. One's a "shy dog" papillion and one's a enthusiastic rescue chiweenie. From her reports, I could see she didn't just run in, feed them and go, but she stayed and played with them and got to know them. No one but me can get near to the shy one, but I think if I had been gone longer, Judi might have actually gotten him to play and accept her. I will definitely contact her to take care of them the next time I travel.”

We had a wonderful experience! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even brought our packages inside, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
Natalie has been helping us for a while now, and she has truly been the best! She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and so caring with our girls. One of our girls is still a little shy, and Natalie has been so patient and gentle with her while she warms up. We’re so happy we found Natalie and feel completely comfortable knowing our girls are in such good hands!
We are so grateful that Rebecca was able to step in last minute and do drop-in visits for our dog! We are always nervous about having someone we don’t know care for her, but from the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. She showed our pup so much care, love, and attention, and we never felt an ounce of nervousness while she was with her. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, a great communicator, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We truly appreciated the updates and knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Alicia is absolutely amazing! I’ve been incredibly nervous and stressed about figuring out the best care for my puppy while working long hours, and Alicia has completely put my mind at ease. Before booking, I wanted to do a meet and greet to make sure that both of my dogs and I felt comfortable, and Alicia was more than happy to coordinate that with me. During the meet and greet, she came prepared with a form to fill out and took detailed notes about my pets and their needs. From that moment, I knew she was going to be a great fit for us! Alicia provides detailed updates after her visits, which I really appreciate and find reassuring. She is also incredibly attentive and will clean up after my puppy, Nova, if she has an accident. She makes sure to let my big boy, Remi, out as well, and she keeps the dogs separated at all times, which is especially important for my peace of mind. It’s clear that Alicia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. I feel completely comfortable knowing my fur babies are in her hands. You absolutely will not regret booking Alicia to care for your pets!
Jenna is a great sitter for my sweet dog Bobby. She takes great care of him and he loves her. She walks him, plays with him and feeds him. I have used her several times over the past few years. She's very trustworthy and dependable. Definitely will call on her again.
Sarah was amazing and so communicative. She showed so much love and care for Bernie while we were away, that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. This was our first family vacation and first time ever leaving Bernie. He is a senior dog and we weren’t sure how our vacation would impact his health. Thankfully Sarah sent us daily updates and kept us in the loop of Bernie’s daily activities. She is extremely reliable and sees these pets as her own. Anyone hesitant for a dog sitter because of the unknowns, I can not recommend her enough!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Watauga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
