“Carrie is the best. She came at the last minute and helped us in a bind. She loved on our 2 cats and communicated extremely well!! I will hire her again. Highly recommend her!!”
“Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)”
“Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Jemma did a great job making sure my pup got human interaction, bathroom break, and food and water. She was communicative, left me pictures, and responded to any questions I had. I would recommend her to take care of your pup.”
About: I have two tiny shorthairs and two eighty five pound labradoodles in my life, so I've got range. To quote a very wise man, "No job is too big; no pup is too small!" I have an extremely flexible schedule. I can make almost anything work. I work most nights from 6:30ish to around 10:00 or 11:00. It would be no problem at all to achieve your needs. I can do whatever is needed to make sure your babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I play with them to make sure they get exercise and socialization. I make sure their personal spaces are clean (litter boxes, beds, kennels, etc.). I make sure they don't have any food insecurities, and I make sure they know that someone is there for them when their usual human is gone.
“Alicia was wonderful in dropping in on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She has good communication and made sure that both cats were doing well in our absence, even taking the time to play with our attention seeking cat. Would recommend!”
“Meghan has always treated my sweet Lucy like she was her own. I especially like how she leaves me a note telling me how Lucy was and who all she met on their walks. It’s obvious how much she loves animals.”
“Kurstin is great, she leaves wonderful details and pics with each visit. I get the sense that she genuinely cares about the pets she visits, that is very comforting to know. You'll be hard pressed to find a sitter that is better than her.”
About: I understand how important it is to find the best pet sitter; someone who will love your pets like their own and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. I would love the opportunity to be that sitter for you! I have been pet sitting for 20 years. I’ve volunteered with multiple dog rescues and have rescues of my own. Currently, we have a senior pup, Princess, a senior cat, Winnie, a little hedgehog, Mr Nibbles, and tons of fish. I am a mom to an 8 year old daughter, who has shared the same love for animals of all kinds since she was little. I am experienced in working with animals of all breeds and ages; specializing in dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, horses and more. I am able to provide daily walks / hikes, administer medications and provide personalized care based on your pet’s specific needs. Whatever your sweet pets may need, I am happy to accommodate that and can assure you that they will be very well taken care of, safe and loved while you are away! References and letters of recommendation available upon request. My job is providing the best childcare and pet care. My schedule is often flexible and allows me plenty of time to provide excellent care for all clients. We live in a safe home and neighborhood in TN. Our fur babies get along with everyone and our family is extremely experienced in pet care.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs of various breeds, cats, and even exotic pets like reptiles and birds. My skills include administering both oral and injectable medications, caring for senior pets with mobility challenges, and providing engaging activities to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m also on the app “Wag” if you want a link to see my reviews, ensuring your furry friend is in safe hands. I believe in treating every pet like family, offering personalized care tailored to their needs while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. I work remote, so I will have plenty of time to pay attention to your pet, let them outside in a timely manner, take them on walks, and of course cuddle bug time (: When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine to ensure they feel relaxed and secure. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with a safe, enclosed space where pets can roam and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, food, and regular bathroom breaks. For cats, I make sure their litter boxes are clean and accessible, while dogs receive regular exercise and attention, including walks or playtime. I also offer special care for pets with medical needs, such as administering medications as required. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I make sure to respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure, and I send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I’m committed to creating a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for the pets I care for.
“Lonie has been wonderful with our pets! We have two big dogs and a cat. She’s taken great care and attention to each! She’s respectful, on time, and always communicates with me which I appreciate so much! Plus I love seeing all the photos she uploads of the animals while we’re gone :) couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! My name is Gabby and pets have been a huge part of my life since I was little. I started dog and cat sitting in high school. From overnight visits, to quick potty breaks, or little drop in’s. I always tried to help wherever I could. Now I am trying to expand by helping all the pups and cats I can! I’m currently between jobs, so my availability is super open at the moment. Any changes in my availability will be communicated promptly to maintain full transparency and set up a change of plans. We have four pups of our own, all social and sweet. We have a big open yard for our pups to run around and explore. They are fed twice a day, water bowl is consistently refilled, and they are spoiled rotten with attention and loves.
About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.
About: I have been snuggling up with and looking after my friends’ pets since 2018 and have yet to meet a whisker-faced cutie I haven’t fallen in love with.I've been trusted for walks, administering medicine, daycare pickups, making sure food and water bowls are full and litter boxes are clean. I love to play, snuggle up, and send fun update pictures or videos. I’m stage and film actress so my schedule stays super flexible when I’m not in rehearsals and I would love to fill my free days providing care and getting some kitty or doggy love. Because I have a career dependent on gigs and rehearsal times. My days are typically wide open. Unless I am required for a daytime rehearsal, most weekdays I can be available anywhere ranging from 6am-5pm (Weekends vary from time to time.) I ensure trust by establishing very clear lines of communication and asking lots of questions. I always want to be doubly sure of what I am being asked. I send text updates to let my clients know their pets are safe and secure or whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Typically a key is left for me to easily access the owners home which allows me to keep it in a safe space without taking it with me and losing it. Sometimes when I do pick-ups and drop offs from daycare I make sure doors in the home are closed so dogs don't run through rooms they aren't supposed to be in. I make sure food and water bowls are cleaned and there are no potentially dangerous objects around by tidying up some if necessary.
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.

Athendale cat parents share their Rover experiences
Breanna was amazing! She not only took care of our cat while we were on vacation, she was very considerate in bringing in our mail and dripping our faucets during the ice storms. I don't know what we would have done without her. I'll definitely book with her again!
Carla is a gem! She took such good care of our 2 outdoor rescue cats while we were gone & always sent us pics & updates while she was there with them. If you want someone who truly loves animals & not only feeds & waters them, but showers them with love & affection, then Carla is your gal. Peace of mind knowing our fur babies are as well taken care of when we're gone as when we're home, is huge for us, so we'll definitely be using Carla's services again 😊
