“Two thumbs and four paws up!! Becca was a joy to work with. Our home and old pup were in great hands with her. She promptly responded to all of our communucations and made the whole process painless, so we could concentrate on enjoying our time away. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was great. We came home to a happy dog, healthy chickens, and a clean house. She kept up with harvesting from the garden as requested. We'll happily use her again.”
“Joanne immediately won over my pups, even my shy boy who usually takes his time warming up to someone. She sent me pics throughout the day and even extended her stay because one of my girls was nervous because of a thunderstorm. My dogs love her which means everything!”
“Elizabeth doesn't just sit your dogs she adopts them. Our Ella got very sick while we were gone and Elizabeth took such good care of her and kept us informed. I really can't say enough about how Elizabeth went out of her way to take care of our sick girl, her genuine concern and compassion was matched by actions.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”
“Tresalyn is fantastic! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, cat, chickens and fish while we were gone. She took the time to get to know our animals ahead of time with a pre visit and was so kind and considerate when we met. She made sure she understood the needs of our high energy, anxious dog and gave her plenty of exercise and lots of love while we were away. It was clear to us when we returned that she had cared for our home and pets with deep love and consideration. She also sent pictures and updates regularly while we were away, which we greatly appreciated! We are so grateful we found her! We can’t recommend Tresalyn enough!”
“Elizabeth was communicative and reliable while I was away. She sent regular updates, took great care of my pup, and even watered the outdoor plants, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy pet and everything in good shape. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: I'm a wildlife biologist and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I've looked after pets for friends and family for years and have two beloved cats of my own. I've also volunteered at nature centers and helped care for farm animals, giving me a unique background in both domestic and wild animal care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every visit. I work full time, so mornings before 8 am, evenings after 4pm and weekends work best for me! Within those hours, my schedule is flexible, so I’m available for daily drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. Whether it's an evening walk or feeding, or just playtime and cuddles, I’m happy to fit your pet's needs into my routine. I have an open yard for a dog to run around/play in, but it is not fenced in. I live close to parks and would be happy to take them on walks there as well! I have a comfortable home with plenty of comfy spaces for them to relax in as well.
“Kara did a wonderful job staying with our babies. She cared for them as though they were her own and was very attentive to their needs. She respected our space and theirs. We will definitely be reaching out in the future with any other needs. Gunner, Zara and Simba loved her.”
“Lynsey is wonderful! She provided loving care for our dog and parrot for 10 days in October 2022. We especially appreciated her regular updates including photos. Thank you again, Lynsey!”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
“loved Suzanne! she was amazing with our dog Neutron, very responsive, and totally saved us last minute! She sent pictures when she arrived and before she left so we knew Neutron was safe and well taken care of. Looking forward to having Suzanne again!”
About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.
About: I've always had a deep affection for dogs and their care.Dogs are best companions that I enjoy spending time with and who help me avoid loneliness, so I don't always think of them as animals. I'm now concentrating on my studies and schoolwork for the future, but I'm happy to assist with pet care when I have free time to help out If your dog comes and stays with me, they will have a great time and be well-cared for because I have a lot of space for dogs to run about on. My dog loves being outside and having someone to play with

I am happy to come to your home to walk and care for your fur baby or babies. Let me know the needs and wants of your pet or pets.

About: Senior care is my preference. I'm like to cuddle. I am relaxed and I know that it won't take long for your pet to sit in my lap. I'm am flexible since I am retired. I can arrange my schedule during the week or weekends. I like the company of animals so when I discovered Rover I felt very good about applying. Your animal will have free rein of my 2 bedroom and 2 bath condo. I will be careful to close a porch door so they won't get out. There is a railing around it.
