About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

About: Hi, I’m Bridget—a lifelong animal lover with a heart for providing the same care and attention to your pets that I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and entertained. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels- I have had animals all my life—from playful pups to mellow seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and always attentive to the unique needs of each pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, send regular updates, and treat your pet like family. If you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile—whether it’s a longer walk, belly rubs, or just sitting quietly with a shy pet—I’m your person. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make your pet’s day brighter. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to connect with you and your four-legged best friend! I live and work at the same place, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable and attentive care for your pet throughout the day. I travel too often to have one of my own, and I truly miss the love and companionship animals bring. Caring for pets through Rover fills that gap in my life while allowing me to be a reliable, scheduled support for you. Whether it’s morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. In my home, your pet will enjoy peace, safety, and plenty of love on 88 beautiful acres with no other animals or children around. My house is clean, calm, and organized—ideal for pets who need a quiet, stress-free environment. I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, medication, or just cuddles and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away.

About: Help me, help YOU! I’m a working professional with a fully remote schedule who picked up Rover as the world’s best side hustle… because if money were no object, I’d probably spend most of my time around dogs anyway. There’s something genuinely therapeutic about caring for animals, getting outside, and helping both pets and their humans feel less stressed. Thankfully, remote work gives me the flexibility to build my days around the pets I care for instead of squeezing them into a rigid schedule. One of the biggest advantages of working remotely is that I’m able to offer much more flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and last-minute requests when life gets chaotic. Whether you’re traveling, stuck in meetings, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your dog like they’re their own. I’m very active and love going on walks or runs with high-energy dogs who need to burn energy and stay stimulated. For calmer pups, I’m equally happy hanging out at home, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always the same: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed dog who feels loved and well cared for. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. Every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Any breed, size, age, or special request, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I know how personal it is trusting someone with your pet and your home, and I don’t take that lightly. I do my absolute best to work around your schedule while keeping your dog’s comfort, care, and safety as the top priority. I treat every booking professionally, communicate clearly, and try to provide the kind of experience I’d personally want for my own pet someday. I genuinely love animals and want both you and your dog to feel comfortable from the start. Trust is earned, and I believe consistency matters. I show up on time, follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and care for every pet with patience and attention. Thank you for checking out my profile, I’d genuinely love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I try my absolute best to work around your schedule with your dog’s comfort, care and safety as my top concern. I treat every client as if they were my own pet and wouldn’t accept a booking request if I knew I couldn’t meet my own high expectations of care. Trust is earned. That’s why I treat every client and home with respect and integrity. This means carrying out a client request as a professional, acting as if the owners were flies on the wall writing my review in real-time.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.

Very easy to work with, easy going and accommodating. Has a great work ethic and takes great care of our pup Leia, (Princess) from feeding, to walking and just spending time with her socializing.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with dogs and my genuine passion for caring for them. I grew up with my beloved Maltese, who was a part of my life for many years and truly shaped my love for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends, family members, coworkers, and even my pastor—building a reputation as the reliable, loving go-to pet sitter in my community. As a teacher, I bring patience, structure, and lots of heart to everything I do—including pet care. I treat every dog like one of my students: with kindness, respect, and a deep commitment to their well-being. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior dog, I adapt to their needs, provide consistent care, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As I’m currently off for summer break, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to welcome dogs into my home or provide in-home care at your place through September. I’m happy to give your pets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of how I care for every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and educator, I understand how important it is to create a secure, loving environment—whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I live near a beautiful local reservoir with a safe walking path that I’ve used with many dogs over the years. I’m very familiar with the area and always remain alert and aware during walks to ensure your pet’s safety. I would never put your beloved pet, another animal, or anyone else in a risky situation. Their well-being comes first—always. As a teacher, safety is second nature to me. I bring that same responsibility and care into my pet-sitting—balancing structure and protection with plenty of fun, love, and tail wags along the way!

About: I have over 25 years of experience watch dogs. The last two years I have been working with the See Eye Foundation as a Puppy Sitter. I sit for puppies 8 weeks to 13 years old, for a single day to over a week. I also have a 12 year-old English Fox Hound that likes to take me on walks/runs daily I am currently retired and this leave me plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am an avid runner and cyclist, so walking or even running with your dog is not a problem I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 3-acre property where dogs can roam and run. I do have a 120 foot leash that lets the dogs run without fear of them running away. If your dog likes to play fetch or just do a lot of exploring, the yard is ideal for them. I am also available to do multiple daily check ins and walks if the dog prefers to stay at home.

About: I have loved every dog like its my own and cant wait to prove that to you! I love to send as many pictures and updates when I can as well as keep the home in cleaner than how I left it! I am a college student so my schedule its complex but not filled! I have alot of free time especially on the weekends and I have alot of free time during the afternoons on weekdays! I always like to make sure I know the puppers lifestyle before working with them so I can prepare accordingly in my schedule to get them the attention that they need as well giving way too many cuddles and hugs! I like to make sure I can see the pupper as leads every 5 hours or sooner to make sure they are comfortable and plan accordingly to give them the undivided attention they all deserve
