Pet Sitting Alcoa

“Cassandra did a very good job of taking care of me cat, Peaches and would use her again. She even was able to get Peaches to come out of hiding during visits which is no small accomplishment.”

“Kymber has been great with our puppy Odin. He is a mastiff and she understands the breed as well at what needs to be done. Would definitely recommend”

About: I’ve been dogsitting since I graduated college about a decade ago. I love spending time with dogs and getting to spoil and love on them! I’m currently working part time and have good open availability to meet your needs for a home stay or dog walk. I do best later in the week and over weekends. I don’t have the ability to host in my home, and therefore prefer home stays or dog walks. I love to spend time playing and walking dogs, I feel like I get to see their personalities.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Gidget is a very caring and conscientious person with great communication skills. She not only took amazing care of my two cats, Bristol and Luna, but she did it during a winter storm which caused my house to lose water for two days. I had told her that my girls were extremely shy, and that she might never see them, but Gidget was determined to win them over. I was very impressed by the amount of progress she made with them in just a short period of time. When I need someone to take care of my girls in the future, Gidget will definitely be the first sitter I contact.”

About: I bring a reliable, detail-oriented approach to pet care with a background in healthcare and fitness. My husband and I are a very active family—we love long walks, hikes, and getting dogs outside for plenty of movement and enrichment. I’m equally patient with seniors or anxious pups who need a slower pace. I’m comfortable following routines, giving meds, supporting training, and keeping pets safe and calm while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own and communicate clearly so you always feel confident and updated. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Since my husband and I are a very active family, daily walks and outdoor time fit naturally into our routine. I’m home often for studying and can easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening check-ins, walks, or playtime. Whether your pet needs quick potty breaks or longer adventures, I make sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a large fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play and two friendly dogs who love company—but I can easily crate or keep pets in separate rooms if they need their own space. I follow all routines closely, from feeding and meds to crate habits and training cues, and I keep a calm, clean environment whether I’m in your home or mine. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, with consistent communication so you always know how they’re doing.

“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”

“Kelly did a great job taking care of Tae. She was prompt and did everything I asked her to do. Kelly sent me pictures of Tae with each visit. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Bethany is an excellent care giver! She is incredibly helpful and communicative. It’s as if a friend or neighbor is carrying for our dog and our home.”

About: Please do not use Rovers time frame feature to put in drop off / pick up info. I do not use it. I will not honor times put into this feature on Rover if you use it. See more info below. I have been a dog owner all my life. I have worked in an adoption center, participated in foster / adopt transportations, and have fostered. I have never been able to leave my furry friend with a boarding service for fear that something would happen or he would get lonely. So I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust to take care of him/her until you return. Your pet will be part of our family. I've never been restrictive to my pets so yours will be allowed as much freedom as you would like him/her to have. **Please note: I do NOT go by the time frames that Rover gives you. I have no way of showing my availability for each day, so when you put those in they may not match my actual availability. I will NOT honor those times since I have no control over them. Please make sure we finalize drop off times BEFORE booking a stay with me. I'm happy to work with you while I can for drop-offs and pickups, but there might be times when my schedule is not going to allow me to be as flexible. Right now I'm not currently accepting pick ups or drop offs on Thursday evenings after 5 pm or Sunday mornings. My husband and I are both active with our church and those times are dedicated to that. I'm also closed for drop offs and pick ups on Saturdays all day. While I have guests in my care during that time, it's my one day "off" each week to not be tethered to my house. I do have two children, a twelve-year-old and a nine-year-old. Both are used to being around dogs, but for the safety of all involved, I require a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Please see additional information about meet and greets below. When we leave the house, I will never leave your pets mixed with other pets. I'm happy to crate your dog if that's what they are used to or they will be given their own room while we're away. I will never leave your dog mixed unsupervised with my dog or other dogs I'm watching. Everyone's safety is my first priority. I can provide my cell so you can get in contact with me at any time. I also provide pictures/videos via text. I'm working on doing better to show them on Rover. One of the things I will tell you from the get go is my house gets a little crazy sometimes. I do my best to provide updates once a day while you're away. I also tell my clients to message me if they haven't heard from me and would like an update. I do my best to be responsive in a timely manner. However, I also expect my clients to understand that I do have a life outside of pet sitting and sometimes that life gets in the way of my being able to respond right away. Please show a little grace when asking for updates on your pet. We love them like our own so they just join in our family life which doesn't always include having my phone glued to my side. I'm a homemaker and homeschool mom. I am around a lot of the time and there is plenty of outside time for my guests. The reason my schedule may look blocked off is because of the time required for my guests, my kiddos, and my job. My husband also works from home full time now. He does assist with the pups sometimes but I do not rely on him for meet and greets, drop offs or pick ups. Crates are not required, but if your dog is used to being crated I can provide for that. I will also crate a dog if they are found to be destructive or are untrustworthy when we are out of the house. I also will not keep dogs that are food aggressive. I separate everyone to feed them because I understand the nature of most dogs is to be protective of food. However, if a dog shows aggression towards another dog when food is present or while we're in the kitchen around people food, that is not something I am comfortable with for safety reasons. We homeschool and I work from home so we're home a lot of the time. With that said, we do have lives and go places. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but please keep this in mind. Your pup will be integrated into our household with my own. We're in and out a lot so potty breaks and playtime naturally happen throughout the day. I provide overnight services out of my home as well as doggy day care. We have a fully fenced yard with an automatic locking gate to keep people from opening it when they come for pickup. When you come to my house, you'll park in my driveway and then enter through a double set of people gates to your left.

“Beau and Pig were very well care for by Rachel and Cody! Not only are they super pet positive but they are also prompt and responsive! We can’t thank them enough for everything and will be booking again soon!!!”

About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.

“She was great with our dog! Really went the extra mile when dog sitting. Took the dog out for walks and shared pictures when taking care of the dog!”

“Great communication and excellent care. Thank you!”

“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”

About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs

“Gretchen was great for my cats and went above and beyond what was asked to take care of them while we were on vacation. She is a great caretaker!”

About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
