Tia did an absolutely outstanding job caring for my three German Shepherds. Anyone who has experience with the breed knows they require attentive, confident handling; and Tia delivered exactly that without missing a beat. My pups were fed on schedule, exercised regularly, and taken out for bathroom breaks consistently throughout their stay. Clearly, Tia took their routine seriously and treated them with genuine care. What really set Tia apart was her communication. She sent photos of the pups playing outside, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also asked thoughtful follow-up questions about their care before I even had to bring anything up. This kind of proactive attention to detail tells you a lot about a sitter's professionalism and dedication. I will absolutely be booking with Tia again and would recommend her without hesitation to any pet owner, especially those with large or high-energy breeds. My fur babies were in great hands!

About: I had the wonderful opportunity to have pets (the majority being doggos) since I was four! I truly just love being around animals! I sadly can’t have any animals in my residence now hence why I am here, I do want to say that I will do my very best to make sure any pets are well taken care of and loved when I am pet sitting! I am looking forward to future opportunities!! As of right now my schedule is pretty open, especially with summer coming up. Mornings especially but, we can always speak further about that when figuring outs dates that are needed for sitting. As of right now, when I visit back home to see my mom I help her with our two dogs, Sandra and Zeus. I also help out with our chicks. My biggest thing is just communicating, if there are specific ways an animal needs to be looked after I am very willing to help I just would prefer we talk about it extensively, as well as making a list of priorities for the pets.

About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.

About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)

Ellie did an amazing job watching our home and caring for our dogs while we were out of town. I have a dachshund who is extremely picky on who she likes, and she absolutely loved Ellie unlike any other dog sitter we have seen. She is extremely communicative and we will absolutely be reaching back out to her.

My girls had a fantastic time with Dixie! From the first communication, Dixie was spectacular. She was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and made me feel very at ease leaving my house and dogs in her care. She provided pictures and videos all throughout her time with my girls. I never had to wonder how they were doing. I have one that is needing special attention and she provided great care for her. She left my house in perfect condition, even changed my sheets and towels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.

Really appreciate Amanda staying with out boys while we took a short little vacation. She took them for a swim in the river by our house and it's obvious that they were well taken care of while we were gone. She also sent us pics of them enjoying themselves while we were gone. It was also clear that she also took the time to straighten up the house and vacuum before we got back. Would highly recommend her and will definitely look to her again for our next trip.

About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I have a variety of experience volunteering in shelters, fostering animals, and giving special attention to elderly dogs/cats. I will take extra good care of your babies! Open to schedule a meet-and-greet. I work part-time. Pet care fits in my time off as additional income. Artist with flexible schedule = lots of attention time. When I am pet sitting, it is my main priority! In my clients home, it is important to me to be respectful of your space and your pet’s established routine. Will follow instructions closely - such as feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, and any behavioral notes. Consistency in routine is key! 🙂
