“My husband and I were on vacation in Lake Tahoe and needed day care for our pup while we visited beaches with no dog access. Bethany accepted the job on very short notice and agreed to watch our dog even though he had a sore on his muzzle that needed some extra attention. Bethany’s house is very dog friendly and she gave our dog tons of attention and entertainment. Bethany is very professional with healthy boundaries for the dogs she takes in and genuinely enjoys loving on animals! She also provides us with lots of updates during the day so we never had to worry how our dog was doing.”
“I would recommend Christina F. for all my pet care. She was very gentle and took the stress off both me and my mini doxies as they have separation anxiety. Plus, this was the first time leaving them with anyone. She made them feel right at home and comfortable and sent photos of them. Definitely, would leave them with her again.”

“Drew was a great dog sitter. I contacted her kind of last minute and she was able to accommodate my pup with no issues. She communicated well and sent pictures and videos of my boy. Vernon seemed to really enjoy his time with her and her dogs. I would definitely recommend Drew to others.”

“Highly recommend Mariah!! We needed extremely last minute daycare for our 2 pups and Mariah was a life saver! Very communicative, friendly & professional. Sent lots of photo updates & our little ones seemed to have a grand old time with her! Would definitely book again”

About: I have over 20 years of pet care experience by providing care in my own home, and in clients homes for medium and large dogs as well as cats. I also have 4 years of fostering experience with rescue dogs, including pregnant moms and birthing puppies. With all this experience I have provided medications, given laser therapies (with clients equipment), bottle and syringe fed young pups. I have walked dogs on leash and on slip leads. My mission is to make cats and dogs in my care feel safe, comfortable and loved while their pawrents are gone. We are a couple based sitting service, which allows for your pet to have several outdoor potty and play sessions, and plenty of snuggle time indoors as well. I am open to providing care for 4 dogs in my home in addition to my pack, and am able to take multiple cats (they have their own room in my home so that they are not stressed by the dogs and vice versa). In my home dogs would have access to outside time as needed for the majority of the day. I will follow all expectations for your dog in your home. In our home dogs are allowed on the furniture as we allow our own on the furniture. I believe in positive reinforcement by providing love, treats and redirection. I will not and am not comfortable using shock collars, prong collars or choke collars.
“Chloe watched my pup for 4 days, everyday i got updates, pictures/videos. She even offered to clip her nails and dressed her up in a cute sweater. I felt comfortable leaving her in the environment and didn’t feel like she was not taken care of or ignored. I will definitely use her again next time we go on a trip. If you’re looking for someone to spend time with your pup and make them feel at home Chloe is your girl!!!”

About: I’ve always taken care of animals, growing up with cats and dogs in our house was such a blessing and now I want to share my love for all pets with others! I am lucky enough to work full time from home which leaves me with plenty of extra time to take care of your four legged baby. Walks, park play time, and even light training would be part of the normal routine when they stay will me! I have a fenced in dog park and small walking trail at my apartment complex as well as access to several public parks and local waking trails nearby. My place is always clean and safe for even the most nosey of pets!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly love them both. 🐶🐱 I treat every pet like family and I’m the type of sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with them — not just “checking in.” I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to routines, and I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra love and reassurance. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I work remotely and I’m home often throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention. I’m able to be flexible during the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while sticking closely to their normal routine.
“Shelly is very caring, flexible to our schedule. Lola loved it at Shelly’s place- she was happy each morning when we dropped her off .. fantastic I highly recommend Shelly’s pet care!”


About: I’ve spent all of my life with a passion for animals and grew up taking care of pigs for 4-H and FFA as well as riding and caring for about 16+ horses since I was 10 years old. I took veterinary college accredited classes in high school and have owned and cared for 3 dogs over the years. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I can take care of them in your home if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a baby on the way in September. I’m am always at home unless I’m out grocery shopping or out at dinner with my fiancé. So I have plenty of time to care and love on your fur baby and make them feel right at home! I have no pets in the home currently and I would only be able to take your dog on walks and around the property to use the restroom as we have no fenced in yard currently. They will be inside most of their stay. When pet sitting at your place I can most of anything that is needed. I do not have a crate available at my house currently so if you would like your baby in a crate or kennel, you would need to supply that as well.
“Regina is wonderful watching our Schatzi. When Schatzi arrived she was excited to be there. She was a little bit shy because she heard another dog, but I know she settled in quickly. When we picked her up, she was happy but was tired out from all her excitement of the day and needed a nap :)”

About: I’ve grown up around animals all of my life, including several dogs of my own. I have had puppies all the way up to my dog mack who is 16 and lives with my parents. With the help of my girlfriend who is on the track team at Tennessee Tech University your pet is sure to have a fun time and stay safe. I currently am a full time student and don’t have a job right now so I am home all day on the weekends, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The only days i have class are 12:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and show them the love they deserve. I have a big apartment and have a fenced yard for your pets to run around in and play and also an unfenced yard for walks and runs. I also live close to a dog park to let your dog socialize if that is desired.
About: As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. So I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust with your pets! From dogs and cats to birds and small critters, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets, each with its own special requirements and quirks. I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife rehabilitation center, working with animals such as reptiles, song birds, raptors, and small mammals! Being able to learn and deliver medical aid and life saving care to hundreds of babies. Your pet will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and personalized attention they deserve by creating a safe and comfortable environment so they can thrive while you're away. Whether it be short term or long. I am currently a studying student and an entrepreneur looking for extra work to finish out the year as well as add to my savings. I have a massive backyard away from any main roads, I can easily crate your dog if need be. Rest assured, your pets safety is top priority! Communication is key, Ill always keep you updated on your dog's experiences through regular photo and video updates. I want you to feel involved in your pets adventures just as much as they are 🐶 Please keep in mind tipping is fantastic, though also, absolutely, NEVER a requirement. But just for reference, Rover takes 20% of all cost from bookings not including taxes, Ex. If youre paying your sitter $100 for a full time housesit, your sitter gets $80. Tips go 100% to your sitter no matter who you choose 🐾
