Tara is extremely pleasant, capable, kind, and very loving of your pets! She is responsive and responsible, and accommodating. One of my favorite things about her is her good communication and desire to make your pets' lives better! There is a reason she has so many high reviews.

Thank you so much Hannah for caring for our Holston. Hannah does exactly as you ask. Our main goal was to accomplish a pooty break and she went above and beyond to make that happen. We hope to have you care for him again soon, Hannah!

About: 🐾Hello I have volunteered in many shelters and owned many breeds of dog in the past, I love to play and be with dogs of all kinds and would love to be your dogs new playmate. Let me know if you’d like your dog to become my new sidekick I’m available most days and would love to help keep your dog happy and healthy. I can assure you your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Never worry about leaving them home alone ever again 💕 I am available weekdays and weekends for walks or check ins and at anytime on weekends. Park playtimes are also available if requested in advance. Your pet would be cared for as if they were my own. When house sitting I would make sure they have all needs met and are being stimulated through playtime, cuddles and any training practices you are doing.

About: I’ve had pets of every kind since childhood- dogs, cats, chickens, a donkey- but dogs are my special buddies. I’ve raised 5 exceptionally great dogs in my lifetime and have attended multiple pet training courses. I believe long walks are good for the soul! We have a spacious, sunny house with a fenced in back yard and a 5 year female old blue heeler who loves to play and romp with other dogs. She is good about being gentle with older and younger dogs. I believe long walks and a steady diet of new, stimulating smells make for a great (and tired!) dog. My husband, Jason, and I would love to care for your fur baby while you’re travelling, riding the Creeper trail, or just want your pup to have some social time. I take dogs on walks several times per day at the speed at which I am requested by the owner. We can do speed walks or slow, smell the roses walks. I have small fenced area in huge back yard and am very careful to keep dogs leashed when walking outside of the fence. I am also familiar with harnesses of all kinds and am a dog trainer.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, but have only been dog sitting for around a year. I currently own four. I’ve trained puppies, but I have also taken care of senior dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m a teacher, so my normal work day is 7:30 am-3:30 pm. I usually go straight home after work to love on my nuggets, but would be available any time after 4:30 August-May. Through the summer, I can work any time of day. I also have breaks throughout the school year that would allow some flexibility for me to work alternate hours. I love when client’s have a fenced in yard, but I also have worked with big and small dogs alike if a leash is needed!

We have three large dogs so it can be quite difficult to find a good dog sitter. She was great everyone got their potty breaks and play time, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using her again.

About: I have always had dogs growing up and all my adulthood. Also gold fish and a bearded dragon. Pets are part of the family and should be taken care of as family. My availability is quite flexible. I am a private caterer and book my parties out by at least a month. I enjoy the pups and would treat them as my own! I enjoy walks and love taking my dog with me. I have had a crate trained dog before and can adapt to what your puppers is used to.

Hannah is an angel. Thanks to her my little one was happy and healthy when I returned home. She even took her to the vet when she got an ear infection. I won’t travel unless she is available to take care of my baby.

I'm new to the area and no longer have my best friend to cat sit. I wanted to travel to spend Christmas with family so turned to Rover. I felt confident leaving them in Ken's care even before I left. He lives up to his rating!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was thirteen. I’ve been trusted with man’s best friends for month long trips to weekend trips! I am always available by text for any concerns you have and will make sure to keep the owner very update on the daily life of their pets. I currently work full time during the week which is why my schedule is limited to before or after work on the weekdays. However, during the weekend I can spend as much time as needed and stealing all the dog and cat kisses! I want to give the best attention to the pets and devote my free time to them! I do not have a fence, but have a neighborhood that is great for long walks. I also can work from home so they never are left alone for long.

About: I’ve had at least two dogs my whole life. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing structured playtime to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I work a different job monday-wednesday and sometimes other random days. Other than that i’m usually free to watch your animals. I’m also pretty flexible! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health changes, and provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

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.

McKinley is great....a very nice young lady! I got to meet her for this first time and she met my kitty boo. She was very sensitive to both my quirky cat and me! I knew he (Seven) would be in good hands! I am very particular and McKinley is too! She feels like the perfect fit for us! Her experience shows, probably because she has several animals of her own (dogs and cat) and is a vet assistant. I'm looking forward to using her again. If you need someone who will "get it" with your pet, you need to reach out to her! Thank you McKinley!

Emily was fantastic with our 5 cats for the past week. She took care of everything as described and kept everyone very happy. What started with only 2 cats wanting to hang out at the beginning of the week, ended with Emily winning everyone's trust by the end. Would highly recommend!
