Dog Sitting in Weaverville

“Could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog for a week. Taylor was thorough, on time, very communicative, and loving. She did way more than she was asked. Very happy with the Rover Service, and Taylor was a godsend. Highly recommend.”

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

“We have just moved and were nervous to have someone new taking care of our dog. Shannon was amazing with him!! We will definitely schedule with her again!”

“Michelle made my first Rover experience perfect! She walked me through the process, and my car Buttercup—who hides from EVERYONE—went right up to Michelle! I will have no worries about booking with Michelle again. It was such a relief! And I appreciate all of the notes, videos and pictures!”

About: I come from a family of vets— loving animals is in by blood! From my first job at a dog boarding company, to training and protecting my anxious 80lb pibble, to long cuddles with my lazy couch potato hound, to say I’ve learned a lot about dog care and psychology is an understatement. I believe all animals deserve our respect, and understanding various energy levels and the needs that come with them is part of that! I’ve trained puppies, care for sick elder dogs, and everything in between. I approach dogs with a gentle and nonthreatening energy in order to win trust and make them feel as safe as I can! I am available for as many drop ins or playdates at your home during the morning, days and evenings as you feel comfortable with-- I’m a stay at home mom so I’m flexible! I will most likely have my 1 year old with me if it’s during the workday but will keep her strapped to my back both for your pets’ safety and hers. She’s a fellow animal lover! When I petsit, I empathize with what pets are going through when their parents are gone. I try to spend as much time with them as I can whether it’s just being present in the house, cuddles on the couch, playing with toys, or taking long walks together. And if your pup enjoys adventures, I’m here for it!

About: I currently pet sit for my friends and family, but I would love to meet even more furry friends! I have always been a passionate animal lover. When I was thirteen I went vegetarian because of my love for animals and have never looked back. I have been working with dogs and cats since I was 8. My grandma had ties to the Savannah humane society and frequently took me along to volunteer for them. When I was a teenager I fostered a puppy and then a kitten who both needed to be bottle fed and I really loved the experiences. During covid I adopted my two cats (Bandsaw and Lathe) and realized my cat lady destiny. I moved in with my boyfriend shortly after, and together we now have 4 cats (Bandsaw, Lathe, Challa, and Shurri). Last year, I cared for two neighborhood stray cats and was able to tame them, to the point that one was able to be adopted out, and the other socialized enough for pets and treats. I am a ceramic artist and product designer by trade, and my cat Lathe has been my muse since I met her. A lot of my ceramic work is centered on cats and dogs, and I have designed 3 cat lamps for mass manufacture for a major retailer which are currently on the market. I have painted pet portrait commissions on and off since I was 15. I am a freelance designer and an independent artist, so I generally have open availability, and would love to help take care of your pets! I am more than happy to change the litter box, walk your dogs, administer medicine, crate cats/dogs if necessary, and any other special requests that you as the owner might have. It is important to me to treat animals with love and respect, so I always introduce myself slowly and read their body language before doing anything else.

“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”

“Madi was just simply amazing! She went above and beyond taking care our cats!! It was a huge relief having Madi while we were out of town!! We greatly appreciate her!!”

About: I love dogs and have been working with them for over a decade now. I started at the Humane Society in 2011 then soon transitioned into Grooming in 2013. I worked for several years as a dog groomer before moving to Colorado and began working for Boulder Doggie Adventures. I was responsible for pick ups, walks/hikes, house sitting and daycare. I currently run a dog washing and grooming trailer around the weaverville area a few days a week! Blue Ridge Dog Grooming. I love working with dogs and will absolutely show your pup all the love and spoils I have to offer! Your dog is part of the family when they are here! Dogs are never left unsupervised or locked up all day. Your pup is free to roam the house and has full access to the outside which is large and fenced in completely. Either myself or my husband is always home so dogs are never left alone in the house. We both work part time on a split schedule so the pups will always have care and attention. We are on 7 acres of land so lots of space to explore either on leash or off leash! We have a creek that lets them cool off and plenty of toys and dog beds to provide for your pup as well as homemade treats. Lots of room for your pup to run and play or lay in the shade of the trees in the back. Your dog is part of our family and cared for as such. I am CPR certified as well as Groomer Certified. Your pups will be safe and loved while they stay! I also provide daily photos and write ups that is sent daily so you always know how they are doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 10. I’ve helped numerous friends, neighbors, and family members with house sitting, dog walks, and pet care. I am currently a second year PA student on clinical rotations so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of your fur baby in your own home but I am flexible to other arrangements.

About: I care for dogs regularly through my pet sitting work, including feeding, potty breaks, leash walks, playtime, and basic training practice. I live with my own pets, including an energetic young pup, so I’m very comfortable managing puppy zoomies, reinforcing good manners, and keeping routines consistent. I have experience with different sizes and temperaments and always take time to read each dog’s body language so they feel comfortable and understood I prioritize pet sitting around my work schedule, ensuring that pets receive dedicated care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My goal is to maintain a consistent routine that keeps pets comfortable and cared for while balancing my other commitments. I care for every pet in a secure, stress-free setting, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I’ve established dedicated pet areas with clean, comfortable resting spots and safe play zones, while in your home, I meticulously follow your routines and guidelines—ensuring your space is respected and enhanced with pet-proofing measures. Open communication and regular updates mean you’ll always feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

“I will absolutely book with Alice again. She showed up when she said she would and, most importantly, communicated perfectly. I feel much more at ease going on vacation now knowing that Alice will be taking care of my pup!”

About: I have been caring for animal for around 10 years. I have dog, cat and house sat for many folks during that time. I love bringing peace of mind knowing your furry friends are safe and comfortable! I work part-time and have lots of flexibility to walk or play with your dog! I am open to discussing your needs and a schedule that works for both of us. I have three indoor cats. They’re great with dogs, and I am able to take dogs on walks around the greenway! It is my preference to come to you!

“I can’t recommend Alex enough!! He was communicative, kind, took so many great photos of our cats during every drop in visit and we appreciated the flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. He went above and beyond and anyone would be lucky to have him watching their fur babies 💖”

About: I've been through quite the journey with my own dog and would be happy to provide the same gentle and behavior-informed approach with your animals. I also have a livestock handling background that includes some light veterinary experiences (i.e. administering medication and vaccines) and would be comfortable making sure your pets get the care they need. I work part time with a relatively flexible schedule that would give me time to hang and play with your furry friends at different times throughout the day and week. I could offer pet sitting at my apartment under special circumstances and with advanced notice. Happy to take your dogs out on walks or stay in your home to make sure your pets get the care they need while you may be away. Respectful, neat, and considerate!

About: The types of experience I’ve had was taking care of two of my friends dogs over the years and I myself have three dogs that I love and adore I'm currently in school in the morning , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for House sitting, walking the dogs, drop-in visit, etc. Well all depends on the dog I’m going to take care of.. like one of my dog is very lazy for no reason and the other two are very hyper.. so what I do is that I walk the two dogs or take them to a dog park so they can play with other dogs and the other dog I just cuddle with him give him tummy rubs:)

“Galyn took care my dog, Millie while I was out of the town. She was kind, caring and dependable. She was flexible and followed instructions well even though there were some changes. It made me feel good that Millie was in good hands. House was clean when I got back. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Sophia did a good job taking care of our cats for a week. She sent updates and pictures every day. They were clean and well when we got home.”

“James took great care of my two cats while I was out of town this past week. He picked up on their individual personalities right away and they both warmed up to him quickly - enough to administer daily medication to the skittish one. I'm grateful to have found someone with as much affinity for cats as James!”

About: I have been formally trained in dog and cat care at Wagly Inc. and taught to recognize animal body language and how to address their needs. Aside from caring for my own dog and cat for the past 10 years, I managed dog play time at Wagly with at least 10 dogs at a time, big and small, fed them, cleaned up after them, took them on walks, and did individual play time. I will be free over the summer of 2026, primarily at the end of May and all of August. I may be working part-time, but my schedule is flexible, and I can provide my own transportation. I am happy to work with any pet owners on when I may be needed and will make time for it. I am very comfortable with play and giving pets all the attention they desire. I know how to recognize their needs and body language and desire to keep them happy and healthy.
