About: Hello!! My name is Ashley and I have taken care of animals my entire life. I had a ranch for over 2 years and have been riding horses for 10+ years. I currently have my EMT certification and have taken care of very large animals. I love animals of all shapes and sizes!!! Please feel free to reach out and ask questions. :) I had trouble finding people who could let my dogs out to go potty on those 12 & 24 hour shifts. I would love to help out and promise to spoil your fur babies. Please feel free to reach out!!! All of my animals are completely spoiled. I currently have two German Sheps who insist on going to the dog park and getting pup cups daily.

About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of The Smoky Mountains, about 30-40 minutes from the main attractions, for ex; Dollywood and The Island of Pigeon Forge. 17 minutes from the FootHills Parkway. 22 minutes from Townsend. My home is the perfect home away from home for your pet while you enjoy your vacation. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence not completely closed off, but We are working on getting that done soon. I added a free standing fence in the meantime to prevent any escapes. I do not leave dogs outside by themselves. I will always be out there with them. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.

I promise to give your animals just as much love as they get at home and make sure he is comfortable while you are away. I work full time Monday thru Friday and im home weekends. I currently work full time. But I work from home. I’m able to go to your home on my lunch break and when I get off work to care for them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed. Mine are not crated anymore.
About: As a former teacher, I’m used to creating routines, following specific instructions, and making sure each individual feels safe and supported. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning a routine, a senior pet needing extra patience, or a shy animal who needs time to warm up, I take the time to build trust and provide calm, dependable care. I am currently between jobs, so I have a completely open schedule! I’m happy to drop in while you’re at work, on vacation, or any time you need I provide dependable, loving care while following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.

Pet sitting is my only job, and my schedule is built around school pick up and drop off. Repeat clients are welcome to request boarding, but I am mostly just doing drop ins at this time. If I am at a clients home, I will be fully engaged with the pets the whole time. Pets at my home are given unlimited access to the backyard unless the client gives other instructions.

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!

About: I’ve been a devoted pet owner since I was five years old, giving me over two decades of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and even a bird I raised for 13 years. What sets me apart is this lifelong multi-species expertise; I’m just as comfortable managing the high energy of a young puppy as I am providing the gentle, attentive monitoring required for senior pets. I pride myself on being a detail-oriented caregiver who understands the subtle body language of animals, ensuring your pets stay safe, socialized, and perfectly on their routine while you’re away I’m currently unemployed but a full time student at SNHU, wanting a side hustle in the meantime of looking for a full time job. I’m in an apartment complex so bringing animals to myself may not be the best idea if your animal isn’t friendly with other dogs. As there are plenty of people walking their dogs at any given moment throughout the day.

About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals.

I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

About: I have a handful cats, but I also love dogs. Growing up with 5 dogs was my favorite part of life. I’ve been watching after pets since I was 13. I started watching my grandmas dog when she travelled. Then I watched my neighbors cat. It quickly escalated to watching friends and more neighbors. I then used Facebook market place for a while and now am using rover! Taking care of your pet is my first priority. I am available any day any time. I currently work from home and run my own schedule. I will make sure your pet is well loved and looked after. Nothing brings me more joy than getting to spend time playing with a cat or dog. If your pet needs some extra attention, I’d be happy to help!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
