Mariah is truly incredible! My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited for her visits. We use her every week, and she’s been so flexible and accommodating—even with last-minute schedule changes. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and reliable hands. I’m beyond grateful for Mariah and couldn’t imagine a better pet sitter to trust with my pups!

Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.

She was great with Jaxx and kept him good company. Nicole is so sweet, accommodating and caring. Very patient and takes her time with Jaxx to make sure he was doing good on each check in. Jaxx is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see Nicole 🤍

Brianna was amazing.. and always kept me informed. She dropped in on my 3 rambunctious cats and did extra duties like getting my mail and cleaning up where she didn't have to.. will definitely use her again if the need arises!

About: Ive loved and taken care of many different kinds of cats and dogs so I have a wide range in pet experience so not a lot will phase me. Ive also helped take care of friends and families animals as they travel or need some extra hands. I love playing with dogs and cats making sure they get the love and attention they need, and want to leave the owners knowing they're animals are in good hands. I am currently working part-time so Ill have plenty of time to help care for your fur babies! My schedule is flexible wether then need to be checked on in the morning and/or in the evenings. I'll always go by what your preference of safety is wether its a fence, leash, or crate and make it my top priority to make sure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time and understand their needs. I’ve helped rescue many dogs over the years. I have experience helping anxious dogs feel comfortable. I love to take walks and I think dogs make walks even more enjoyable! I understand their basic needs but also understand them on a deeper level if they were to need special attention. I cannot currently care for animals in my home but I am happy to care for them in their home. I am comfortable with whatever level of care your pet requires.

About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.

Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!

About: I have always had an affinity towards taking care of animals, specifically dogs! I have walked and taken care of many of my friend's pups and I had a beautiful German Shepherd named Tavi for many years whom I loved dearly. Now that I live alone and do online school full-time, I am looking to spend more time around dogs since I unfortunately can't have a pet in my own apartment. I love to hike and spend most of my time outdoors when I'm not doing school! I love taking care of animals and although I am a full-time online student, I am also human and require lots of outdoor breaks myself (just like our pups). I am available most days usually after 10am until around sunset. I am very organized and will stick to/adapt to you and your pet's needs. I love to play with dogs and will also make sure any medication is taken if need be.

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.
