“I’ve used Rover on quite a few different occasions, but Jennifer & her family were the best sitters I’ve booked with yet. They’re just so super kind and accommodating, I can’t say enough good things about them. ? I got updates all throughout my dog’s stay, and she came back to me a tired pup (always a sign of a good time). 13/10 will book with them again!”

“Carly is very sweet and caring. We felt very comfortable leaving our Yorkie, Sophia, with her for a long weekend. Sophia was well cared for. Carly sent us photos and updates on Sophia each day, which was comforting to us because we had never left her with other people before. We highly recommend Carly to care for your furry family member.”

“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“Natalie took wonderful care of our babies. Sending lots of pictures gave us the comfort we needed to know that they were safe and happy. Thank you for keeping us updated along the way. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Eric is absolutely fantastic! I reached out for a last minute booking, and he responded so quickly, which was a huge relief. From the moment I booked him, he was responsive and honest, making me feel totally at ease leaving my dog in his care. I received a picture and update every day, which I really appreciated. It's clear he loves animals, and my dog was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“They were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We couldn’t have found anyone better for our little Mister Hank especially at somewhat last minute. They treated him like their own and sent so many wonderful pictures of him and them spending quality time, ensuring he was a happy pup! We truly love the passion they showed for him and we could tell the love for animals they give! Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet boy!!! Anyone is lucky to find you all! We highly recommend and any trips back to tn we have and need a sitter…. We will definitely ask them first hand!!!”


“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”

“Ashley took great care of our boy for five days. She kept us informed with daily photos and updates. She and her husband are very kind and welcoming; and they provided a safe home and environment. We are very glad we found them! We will definitely book again.”


About: Hi! I’m a local pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I always try to match each pet’s routine so they feel at home. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs active playtime or just some calm company, I’m happy to provide whatever they need. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet you and your lovable four-legged friend! :) I am available anytime and any day to help you with all your pets needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give pets the time and attention they need. I plan my schedule to ensure I’m available for feeding, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Whether it’s daily visits or extended care, I’m able to provide steady attention and maintain their normal routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I look forward to and naturally incorporate into my week When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet has. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I keep their space clean (including litter boxes or food areas) and make sure they always have fresh water. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed—and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always been around animals and have always loved them! I approach very gently and bring snacks or treats as long as it’s allowed and no allergies, toys of course, walks to parks if allowed, to pools, I just love spoiling pets in the best ways they can be! If you need me to put any medication or give anything I can do that for you! I work full time but am able to take as much time to walk pets or run any errands I need to, I’m in car sales so it’s pretty lenient, any time off I’m available to do anything I just clean at home or hangout with my Godchild and best friend! Making sure anything is put away that can be broken or torn; I always call it baby proofing the house because if it’s baby proofed it’s pet proof, as long as no baby toys are around lol. In my home; I separate my kittens from the other pets and assure they get along first and let them smell any of their toys or anything that has their scent and vise versa to get them accustomed to the other animal
About: I’ve watched several different sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs since I was 19 years old. I would love to be able to help care for your babies! I currently work as a nurse M-Th 730-5 and Friday 7:30-12. I have an aussiedoodle/border collie at home, during the work week he is let out before work, on my lunch break, and when I’m off. On the weekends he is let out more frequently. He is my buddy and goes everywhere with me, we go for frequent pup cups and park days when weather allows. I treat client pups as if they were my own. I will do whatever is needed to keep the pups and their owners happy ❤️ profile says fully fenced yard -partial fence was not an option. I am in the works of getting it fully fenced. I do have a stake and chain in my front yard and your doggo would never be outside unattended. I also have sidewalks and do not mind going for a stroll and/or around the yard on a leash.

I am a full-time stay at home parent with a 2 year old so I am pretty flexible with my schedule & when your pet is in my care, they are my number 1 priority! They will be very loved & well looked after while in my care! When your pet is in my care, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable & safe as possible.

Big Stone Gap dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was an AMAZING dog sitter! She understood and anticipated Faiths' needs, even communicating about an upcoming possible storm to ask if fear would be an issue. I wasn't sure our girl wanted to leave when we arrived to take her home! We will absolutely book again and highly recommend her services.
