“So Happy to have found Stephanie on Rover for Sailor Girl's walks! Stephanie is dependable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.”

“Monica was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She walked them multiple times and was always on time and sent tons of pics when she was with them, giving this fur mama 100% piece of mind. I work 12 plus hour shifts and just knowing they were in good hands a couple times a day, out of their crate, and on a walk is such a wonderful feeling. Use Monica! You will not regret it!!”

About: Growing up, we had black labs. Now, I have a black lab mix. I have learned so much over the years training and working with my own dogs. I am a teacher with the summer off. I have always wanted to do this full time, so let's see where this summer takes me! I love my dog and senior cat. I spend a lot of time with them. I take Charlie, my black lab, everywhere I go. We go to the dog park, parks and hikes. I also have had cats all of my adult years. I have had a diabetic and asthmatic cat. My current cat, Logan, is nineteen and doing great! I am attentive to their needs and will be attentive to your pet's needs, too.

Reach out and we can work something out that works perfect for YOU! i’m very flexible to your needs! i will be coming to your home and care for your furry friend as well as clean any mess they may have made :)

About: I've been an animal lover since I was a child and have always been around animals every moment I could. Unfortunately I could not have pets at my parent's home as a child due to the rental agreement. I'm happy to say that now I am the fur mamma of 3 precious dachshunds and one very sweet and vocal kitty. There's never a dull moment at my house! I have 7 years of dog and cat sitting experience. Several families depend on me to care for their pets while away on vacation. I thoroughly enjoy my time with these fur babies and it is quite evident that they love me in return. I am experienced with bathing, and medication administration as well. I also have several years of experience taking care of and boarding pets for elderly people who need a hand caring for their pets, such as bathing them and taking them to the vet's office for them. I'm currently working part time 3 days a week. I will have plenty of time to spoil your pets. Occasionally I pick up extra days but will avoid picking anything up if I know I'm going to be taking care of your pets. I follow whatever instructions you leave me. I prefer a written note laid out where I can easily refer to it. This is especially helpful to me if you have multiple pets with different routines. I not only complete daily routines with pets, but I also like to spend some quality time playing or snuggling with your pet as I know they are missing you very much while you are away.

“Onyx's time with Ken was an absolutely amazing experience. She loved him so much. His help and attention to her, made our vacation much easier. Ken was also so kind to offer advice to our mom who was home with Onyx. We will definitely be referring Rover and Ken to others.”

“Always appreciate your help, Cameron!”

About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience with many different kinds of animals as well as administering medications. I have also cared for my own pets from babies through the golden years. I had two cats with diabetes that required sugar tests and insulin shots. I currently have a sheltie that is high energy and loves play time. My husband and I currently work from home so we are available to your beloved member of the family as requested. We are usually up around 7am and go to sleep about 10pm With a fenced in yard, play time can be any time for as long as they want. There are also some nice walking areas around my home that are very low in traffic as it is usually just the fellow home owners around.

“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals especially dogs my whole life. I love animals, I have taken small animal care and vet science to expand my knowledge about animals. I have dog sat and taken care of my dogs ever since I could remember. I love taking dog on walks, playing fetch, and giving them all the attention they need. I am a club volleyball coach and currently a graduating senior at ETSU. I am a dog mom myself, so I understand the time comments and the attention they need. I would love to spend my time taking care and waking dogs anytime I can! I am always there for any needs my or other dogs may need. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs so I can care for different types.

“Caroline loved her time with Leigha! Very accommodating on short notice for us. Thank you Leigha!!”

About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.

About: I have taken care of many of my neighbors, family, and friends' pets in the past while they are away. I will feed them, give meds, clean up after them, walk them, whatever is needed. Let me take care of your pet and you have a worry free vacation. I have had and still have pet sitters when we go on vacation and I know how stressful it can be to try to not to worry about your pet while you are on vacation. I love animals and have 3 dogs myself; I am the happiest when I am around animals and would love to take care of your pets so you can have a worry free vacation. I work a full time job every other Thursday-Wednesday but I would be happy to take care of your pet(s) on my days off as well as before and after work too. I will come to your house to take care of your pets whatever times you need me to; like the mornings and evenings or whenever.

About: I have 6 solid years of pet experience, though an abundant time spent around animals from a young age. I have first hand seen the love and care that animals need in order to thrive! I am also aware that trusting someone with your pet is HARD, though I am here to make the experience easy as possible. I prefer meet and greets before any service is confirmed, to ease any timidness! I have a very flexible schedule and am open regularly to tend to any needs or want you may need during a service. I am open to any requests upon approval and am willing to make extra time to exceed the needs or your animal. The safety and trust within the animal is number one priority on my end when it comes to your pet! So my sole focus would be to make your pet feel as safe as possible during the service time. I do not have access to a fenced in area, though I do enjoy campus, trail, and scenery walks. I do prefer during my service that animals are on a leash, unless fenced in area is available. If any of the above does not fit your needs, please give me more information on what you would like to be included and I would be happy to try to accomodate to those needs!

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs & cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, chickens, lizards, and a chinchilla. My love for animals is limitless & my goal is to improve the life of every animal I can reach. I am currently taking courses online to sharpen my skills pertaining to grooming, learning different breeds, training, diet & health. I have acquired many different brushes, supplements, flea combs, scissors and other supplies to keep your pet clean & tidy. I keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind. There is nothing I won't do to ensure the safety & happiness of your pet. Frivolous is not in my vocabulary 🫡 I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: I'm a quick learner with a genuine love for animals. I enjoy building strong bonds with pets and understanding their individual needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, caring, and personalized care, making sure each pet feels safe and loved. I’m eager to learn and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure both pets and owners are happy. I’m currently working a part time job but it won’t stop me from meeting a new friend i have a weird schedule just text me and we can chat about him/her!! Im always open for cuddles ALWAYS !! They will be spoiled as if they are my own I promise. And we have no rules in this house 😎
