House Sitting in Bakewell

“I am so grateful and lucky to have found such a kind & patient caregiver for my fur babies. Kelly went beyond my expectations keeping them all happy & she even charmed my severely anti-social cat to come out of hiding which is a huge accomplishment. Frequent updates & pics helped me to relax while being away for so long & I returned to happy 'kids' & a spotless home. Kelly took care of everything & anything -- it was like having the best house guest ever who loves both dogs & cats. I look forward to having Kelly stay again & I am certain my 'kids' will hardly think twice of my leaving again while Kelly is here. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”

“JaNiya was sweet and was able to help me out with my Boston terrier last minute! I would highly recommend her- Hank can be anxious sometimes and JaNiya’s soft, calm presence was a perfect match for Hank. I will certainly reach out again the next time I need help!”

“Oh my gosh being new to the area - I was so nervous about finding someone to trust with my fur babies who are seniors with different medicines and Trey was amazing. He diligently took care of all their needs, played with them, sent photos and videos , asked all the right questions...we are so thrilled to have him!!!”

“LaDonna was amazing! She took great care of our fur babies while we were gone and truly went above and beyond! We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again in the future! ?”

“Stephanie did an excellent job taking care of our senior cat Nikita. She communicated with us and sent us lots of pictures of Nikita and followed all of our care instructions. We will definitely have Stephanie take care of Nikita again.”

“Brittany is our absolute hero. She was able to watch our senior dog last minute after our other sitter couldn’t make it, and saved our whole trip. Our dog is older, blind, and needs medication so I was nervous about leaving him, but Brittany’s top notch care made me feel so at ease. She sent us daily updates and photos of our pup, kept the house clean, brought on packages, and gave us so much peace of mind. She is a shining star and took such good care of our little old pup and home. After a long day of traveling, it felt amazing to come home to a clean house and happy pup. I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll definitely be return clients.”

About: Hi there! I am unfortunately unable to accept new canine clients at this time. Due to my full time job, I simply don’t have the time that your fur babies deserve. If you are a reoccurring client or have booked with me in the past, I will accept requests if I am available. Thank y’all for everything! I have been caring for animals ever since I was about 10 years old. Whether that was fostering a litter of puppies with my family or pet sitting for the neighbor, I wanted to constantly be caring for animals. At 14, I got my first job at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician; by 16 I was a vet tech assistant and at 17 I was promoted to vet tech. I’m currently in school for my associates degree in veterinary technology with hopes to put that education towards a veterinary medical technician license. All of this to say, I am extremely qualified and happy to care of your fur baby while you’re away! However, my availability is limited due to my full time job and school. I’m currently working at an emergency veterinary hospital in 4 days a week, typically 10-12 hour shifts. I can’t always guarantee being available for a booking and I apologize for that but there are so many other amazing sitters on Rover who I know are just as qualified! I look forward to seeing your fluffy cuties :) I am currently attending college as well as working 40 hours a week. My work schedule keeps me pretty busy but in my free time I love pet sitting. The days I work change every week so my availability will probably vary. Unfortunately I can’t offer pet boarding at my house. I have 6 dogs and one of them is a rescue that is very aggressive towards strangers (humans, dogs, cats, etc.)

“Megan was wonderful. Such a blessing to have someone so sweet to take care of your fur baby. Megan sent pictures through out the day of our pup. It was so nice to see him happy. Would recommend her to anyone. Definitely going to use her again.”

“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

About: 🐾Stay with us perks: I only take 1-2 clients at a time, I work from home and pups have access to a 1 acre fenced yard!🐾 Hi there! Before relocating to Harrison, TN from Seattle, WA, I ran a successful doggy daycare for over 2.5 years. Even before that, I was the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, especially dogs. 🐶❤️. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to loyal Pit Bulls, quirky Pugs to energetic Dachshunds. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs playtime, gentle care, or just a cozy place to nap, I’ve got them covered. Our home is 5 minutes past Harrison Bay State Park and has been set up with doggies in mind: • 🧸 A ridiculous amount of toys • 💧 Fresh filtered water fountains • 🍖 Tasty (owner-approved) treats • 🛏 Plush beds in nearly every corner • 🐕 A full acre of fenced backyard to run and play • 🐾 Doggy pool, bubble blowers, fetch zones, and sun spots galore! I offer daycare from 7 AM to 6 PM with extended hours available by request. I only care for one household’s dogs at a time to ensure your pup gets all the one-on-one attention they deserve. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find someone you trust with your beloved pets. That’s why I approach my work with professionalism, reliability, and lots of heart. I value clear communication and punctuality, and I ask the same from the amazing pet parents I work with Whether your pup is here for daycare or an overnight stay, they’ll be loved, pampered and snuggled. 💕🐾 Pet care is built into my daily life, I’m home full-time, aside from the occasional appointment or errand. My spouse also works from home, so there’s almost always someone here to provide love, supervision, and attention. Your dog will be part of our daily routine, not just an add-on. ❤️🐾 Whether your pup is staying in my home or I’m coming to yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with crate training and can keep your pup on their established routine. I also take safety seriously. I’m prepared for emergencies with first-aid supplies, emergency vet info on hand, and clear protocols in place. When I’m staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect. Keeping things tidy, sticking to your pet’s usual schedule, and making sure they feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings.

“Analie was absolutely incredible. I had a different Rover sitter cancel on me a few hours before they were supposed to get here and was frantically looking for someone to cover. Luckily Analie was available and willing to watch my girl at the last minute. She was very flexible, followed instructions, my dog seemed happy when I got back and she made sure to leave my house in a neat state. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about my experience with Analie, and it would be an absolute pleasure to have her take care of my baby girl again. I absolutely recommend Analie!!”

About: I love all living beings - even bugs and reptiles I’m a bit afraid of. I will risk life and limb to ensure their safety and give them the love they so freely give us. I will do what I can to make accommodations to help care for your babies. They are family and deserve nothing but the best. They deserve to be loved unconditionally like they love us. I can accommodate at client’s homes as I have several special needs cats in my own home and I do not want to disrupt their routines or make them uncomfortable and also I do not want to make your baby uncomfortable.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life. My responsibilities included checking in on pets for their parents, walking, and providing general care. Currently, my schedule is quite flexible throughout the day and weekends. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of routine and will ensure to maintain it while providing added communication. I am excited to connect with you and your furry companions and offer my assistance in any way possible. I am currently quite flexible with my schedule and can offer my assistance throughout the week and on weekends as needed. As a fellow pet owner, I understand that unexpected events can occur during the day, and I am here to help ease your burden. Let me take one less thing off your plate! I believe in following the routine of my clients' pets while taking care of them. This means making sure that no important aspect of their routine is missed out on, which creates a sense of structure and peace of mind for the pets. By sticking to their normal routine, I can prevent any mental or physical stress that may arise due to change. I respect your pet's rules and routines and will follow them diligently. Moreover, I understand the value of staying connected with your pet, which is why I provide pictures and videos of each service, whether it's a check-in or a walk. As a pet owner myself, I know how reassuring it can be to know your pet is doing well, and I will do everything in my power to provide you with that peace of mind.
