“Sarah is super sweet with the animals! She was patient with me, too, as I negotiated having her care for my elderly mother’s dog, who needs the attention so badly. We are now working out an ongoing, regular schedule.”
“Ken is awesome! My two pups love him. They whine when we pull up to be dropped off. They are exhausted and miss Ken and his dogs when they leave! So grateful to have him walk the pups, welcome them into his home and show them love when I cant!”

About: I have never been without a pet or multiple pets, mostly cats and dogs. I believe pets are family members. I have cared for pets from age birth to 18 years old since my childhood. Currently, I have one dog and one granddog. I work from both home and substitute teach. I am able to care for pets in my home or yours. I also have the freedom to come and go as needed for pet walking and/or potty breaks most days. I live in a safe neighborhood with a decent sized yard. I never let Pets go out without being on a leash or tie out. I have a 3 year old mini golden doodle that love other animals.

About: Hiiii and hellooo, to my fellowwww pet lovers! My name is Megyn. I’m an East Tennessee native in my early 30s, and since I was born I have always had animals in my home- and usually a couple outside too! I’m most comfortable with cats, dogs, and poultry but I also have experience caring for fish, livestock, reptiles, and rodents and I’m absolutely open to learning anything new for you. I’ve worked with animals who have needed assisted accommodations including those who were blind, deaf, high energy, senior, and those with ptsd. I started pet sitting in middle school- 20 years ago, and ever since I’ve been the go-to person for my friends and family, and subsequently their friends and family. 6 years ago I began house and pet sitting more widely using a different platform to use pet sitting as a means to traveling; those reviews are below. A recent change to my availability has given me the opportunity to try out offering my services on Rover. Thank you for taking your time to learn a little about me, please feel free to check my calendar for availability and message me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones. —— Sarah Chattanooga, TN 20 Feb - 23 Feb 2020 Megan and her partner were excellent pet sitters. They took care of my home, and I came home to a happy dog! They were also communicative and reliable. Would love to host them again! Megan New Durham, NH 01 Jul - 05 Jul 2021 Megan and Abby were excellent house and pet sitters! From our first conversation to our last, they were kind, polite, thoughtful, organized and dependable. I felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care, and they did a great job when they came. We have a dog, cats, bunnies, chickens, ducks, baby turkeys and rabbits, and all of the animals were clean, well fed, and happy upon our return. Megan and Abby gave us updates while we were away, and it was clear they really cared and took their responsibilities seriously - our dog was very sad to see them go! They also took wonderful care of our house, and it was clean and orderly when we came home. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with our experience, thanks so much Megan and Abby!! Best of luck on your next adventure! Emily Roanoke, VA 17 Sep - 19 Sep 2021 Megan was a great house and pet sitter for our two dogs. She was very easy to communicate with and to make plans with. She updated me throughout the weekend to let me know how the dogs were doing. One of our dogs had gotten sick a few days before she arrived so she took special care to keep a close eye on him and make sure he was doing okay which I really appreciated. The house was also spotless when we got home and the dogs seemed very content and happy so I could tell they had been well cared for. I would welcome Megan back any time and definitely recommend her for your sitting needs! 22 Nov - 25 Nov 2023 This is the second time Megan has sat for us, and we were thrilled to have her back with Abby for another visit! Megan is so responsive and easy to coordinate plans with. We were so glad they were able to stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday and take great care of our two dogs while we were with family. They kept us updated every day and the dogs seemed very happy and content when we got home so I could tell they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We would definitely welcome Megan and Abby back and would highly recommend them as sitters! Allison Asheville, NC 16 Apr - 17 Apr 2022 Cat and cat mom approved- tikki loved these two and in pretty sure my apartment was cleaner than I left it. Megyn and Abby were stellar communicators with a great attitude. They were friendly and helpful right from the start. They were respectful and caring. Would recommend to anyone. Victoria Washington, D.C., Washington, D.C. 29 Apr - 01 May 2022 Megyn and Abby were fantastic pet sitters, and they took beautiful care of my dog, my cat, and my home. They were responsive communicators and conscientious house guests. I would partner with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Megyn and Abby! Sarah Atlanta, GA 24 Feb - 26 Feb 2023 FIVE STARS! Easy! What an awesome experience! Yes, you should invite/confirm/welcome Megyn and Abby to your home right away! Megyn and Abby were both so communicative and kind. They took excellent care of our pets and our home and were a delight to coordinate with. They made our get-away so full of ease. Friendly, timely, communicative, clean, caring, organized. What more could you ask for? We would definitely have them come and sit again any time they're in the area Julie Greenville, SC 24 Mar - 26 Mar 2023 Returned home to two happy, well-loved pets and a tidy home. What more can you ask for! Kira Pittsburgh, PA 03 Nov - 06 Nov 2023 They were excellent communicators leading up to the sit and took great care of Tonks and our house while we were away! They also were flexible and I highly recommend them to anyone. Laurie Asheville, NC 26 Jan - 28 Jan 2024 Megyn and Abby took great care of my pups. Leaving 5 dogs with anyone is a bit nerve wracking as I know that's a handful but they seemed to do fine. They were also very accommodating as they arrived early Friday morning before I left so they could meet the dogs and were able to stay a little longer when I found I was going to arrive home later than I had planned. I would have them both visit again. Lysa Johnson City, TN 29 Apr - 30 Apr 2024 They were both excellent house sitters and extremely reliable. Sent pictures and updated us which gave us piece of mind. Highly recommend! AAA+++!!! Alice Banner Elk, NC 03 May - 05 May 2024 Megan was fantastic! She and Abby gave us updates with pictures. I knew Humphrey and Peanut were in excellent hands. I hate to give them fantastic review for fear they will get booked up! You will be fortunate to have them sit in your home. House was cleaner than we had left it. Wonderful, wonderful sitters!! 08 Nov - 10 Nov 2024 Megan and Abby are delightful. They kept me informed about everything that was happening. We would love to have them sit for us again. Maranda Character reference I have known Megan for ll years now throughout the years she has owned / taken care of many animals. She is a very trustworthy and reliable person, I have even trusted her in watching my twin boys on numerous occasions. One of her best qualities is her integrity, for she puts others needs before her own. Damien Character reference Megan Liuni worked under me at Sonic Drive In and was my "right hand" for many years, and was always my good to person for anything, both inside and outside of work. She was my top performing manager and met every deadline that was given to her; inventory counts, scheduling needs, and time goals, ect. As a General Manager I have meetings and conferences along with vacations that have me out of town and Megan is the person I contact. I allowe her to stay in my home and in return she takes care of my two dogs, (German Shepard and Australian Shepard) Cleans the house, and alerts me of any thing that I need to know of. I have never felt like I had a need to lock up or hide any of my possessions because Megan really is the most trustworthy and reliable person I know. I have given her a key of her own to keep in case of any emergency. She lived with me at one point as well and she was always early with payments and most of the time I didn't even know she was there. Kourtnea Character reference I've known Megyn for about 7 years now. I met her at a job and we've been friends ever since! She is one of the most caring, genuine, and sweetest girls I know. She has helped me out a lot over the years including house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting! My house was always in order and I always trust my home is in great hands while away. I have several animals and they are fat and happy when I'm greeted each time. I have a now 7 year old whom Megyn has been around since my daughters Ist year and has watched her several times for me throughout her life. My daughter loves her and they always have fun. Megyn is a sweetheart and always willing to help someone in need and motivated to get whatever job that needs to be done, done! Highly recommend Megyn for any jobs you may need big or small I’m currently only working part time on some evenings, so I have plenty of open availability to be able to assist you whether it’s just a one time need or reoccurring! I help curate a complete guide to make sure that I have everything I need prior to a sit and maintain a mindset of the highest priority when it comes to someone else’s animals

She and Sailor hit it off from the first moment they met. Takes away my worries about Sailor when I am away at work, knowing Sailor is being cared for by Stephanie.”

About: I have a wide range of experience in both breeds and age. I currently have a 6 year old goldendoodle, 1.5 year old lab mix, and a 6 month old Belgian Malinois. I’ve had the opportunity to train them myself from the ground up and grow with them I’m currently working part time so I have ample time to care for and train dogs. It’s my priority to first build a relationship with dogs before asking them to trust me and train them. Dogs require structure, and as owners, it’s our jobs to provide them with just that. Structured play, crate time, potty break, and public outings are all part of socializing and creating a well balanced, stable dog

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Walter is the most important thing in the world to me, so finding someone I trust with him isn’t easy. From day one, Nahria has been absolutely incredible. She is reliable, professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. One thing that really impressed is how much she genuinely cares about Walter’s happiness and well-being. She has gone out of her way to scout out local dog parks and take him on adventures instead of just doing the minimum. Walter absolutely loves getting to explore new places, and it’s clear she puts real thought and effort into making sure he has a great time and is safe. She has also been incredibly flexible with my work schedule and has always made sure Walter was taken care of when I needed help. Knowing that I can count on her, even when things change at the last minute, has been invaluable. She always keeps me updated, sends great photos, and treats Walter with the same kindness and attention that I would. Walter is always excited to see her, which really says everything. If you’re looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and truly exceptional with dogs, I cannot recommend Nahria highly enough. Walter and I are both incredibly grateful for everything she has done, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Five stars all the way.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Maggie is AMAZING! We have two fellas that are not very fond of strangers. But Maggie has been so warm, patient, and willing to work with us to came up with a strategy to get her better acquainted with the dogs. Now they absolutely love her and are so excited to see her. She is great about making sure that the dogs come first above everything else. So if one didn’t do all of their business on the first walk, she would walk the other one, and then just do one more quality outdoor potty just to make sure that everyone had done their business accordingly. She’s not rushed, she truly cares, she has a bright and friendly personality. And best of all she’s patient and works with your animal’s quirks to meet them where they are and ensure a really good and positive experience for everyone. Our family can’t say enough good things about Maggie!!!!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
