“This was the first time we had left our puppy with anyone. Angie took the time to let us know how Molly was doing and sent pictures throughout the week. We will definitely call on Angela again.”


“Shawna kept me updated with pictures and videos of how my dog was doing and it was very assuring to see him happy, playing with her dogs, and obviously well taken care of. He adjusted right into her home. Overall great experience and great communication. I have already booked my next stay!”


“Brooke is a sweetheart and Ozzy warmed up to her nicely. Brooke sent me photos and videos on a daily basis which gave me such a comfort level that my baby was being taken care of. Highly recommended!”


“Wendy and her family were absolutely AMAZING taking care of our cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She helped my cat become comfortable and feel right at home. I will most definitely have her pet sit for us again. Thank you so much!”



“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”


About: My full time job is working in pediatric and geriatric occupational therapy! Not only am I passionate about caring for my 2 legged clients, but I also love caring for my 4 legged ones 😁 Message me for specific details regarding the care of your pup! I work a 9-5 job Monday-Thursday and come home at lunch. Monday my husband is home and Friday I am home. Weekends the whole family is there along with my step daughter. I have a 4 year old hound who I typically either let off leash or on a lead in our back yard. We go on daily walks in the evenings after work, but have frequent potty breaks and play time out in the back yard.

“I wish I could give a 10 star! I am a helicopter dog parent. I will. Happily admit, I've left my dog with another lady who used to work with Rover who was excellent but I can say this without a doubt. My dog has never came home. So happy and energized realizing he had fun. He was exercised. He was spoiled with Amanda just like he is with me and that does my heart good. Amanda is my go-to regardless of the need. Thank you, Amanda!”


“Misti did a fantastic job taking care of Lexi Lexi isn’t the easiest dog and Mistie knew to take her time with her and let her slowly adjust to her new surroundings. The frequent updates were also greatly appreciated”


“I highly recommend taking your dog to Emily. She took good care of my dog and kept me updated on how he’s been and sent me pictures of him throughout the time he spent with her.”


“Tammy was great to work with ! Sent pictures throughout Coco’s stay. Long walks everyday and lots of cuddles. Maintained crating & Coco’s normal routine as much as possible. Will definitely use again in the future.”


About: PROMO CODE: $20 off for first-time Rover users!!! EMILYH23876 Hey there! My name is Emily, and I’m a veterinary student at LMU. I graduated from Auburn University as an Honors Scholar in Animal Sciences, and I have a variety of animal experience that I put toward both my pet-sitting business and veterinary career. As an experienced dog-walker and sitter, I understand that everyone's needs are different, and I am ready to tailor an experience for you and your pets! I offer dog walking, sitting/home drop-ins, boarding*, and additional services such as basic grooming and house-care. Although my availability has become more variable week-to-week since starting veterinary school, I always have a clear view of my schedule for the entire semester and will make every effort to fit your fur baby into it. (See the last paragraph in this section!) I am doing this job for a small source of income and also just because I enjoy being around animals! Animal care and intuition are skills I have always been able to rely on. From large animal practice to small animal practice, raptors and more, I have accumulated roughly 1000 hours of volunteer work in different areas before applying to veterinary school. Furthermore, I was employed in some of the best boarding and daycare kennels in Huntsville and strive to provide their level of excellence and precision in care PLUS the comfort of home at an affordable price. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I grew up with several pets in my own home. Home was the first place where I learned to love and understand animals. My family has two dogs and two cats back home. Waldo, an Irish Wolfhound mix and my best friend, lives with me in Kentucky while I continue school. I also recently rescued two ball pythons that are as docile as can be! About an hour away, my horse lives at my boyfriend’s “misfits” farm along with several other spoiled-rotten rescues. Whenever possible, I participate as much as I can with their care. With so many animals to take care of, we are always coming up with creative ways to suit everybody’s needs in an efficient and effective way. I feel that boarding in a high-volume facility prepared me for this! It's a whole zoo over here. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My life will always revolve around animals, (despite my allergies!) With the experience and intuition I have gained so far from immersing myself in these activities, I can assure you that I will take good care of your fur-babies, whatever the task may be. I will go above and beyond expectations, to the best of my ability, in order to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable and that you come back to a home as good or even better than it was when you left it. Hire me and you won’t be disappointed! Tips are appreciated but never expected. I can be decently flexible and will try to work around classes! Please feel free to contact me and I will try my best to work something out! IMPORTANT: I am generally in class from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Harrogate, TN). We do normally have a (~hour) lunch break-- I intend on making daily (~10 min drive) trips home (Middlesboro, KY) to eat lunch and let my dog out daily (mid-day, varies by week/day, with the exception of occasional required sit-in lunches at the CVM) so, if your dog needs a mid-day potty break, this can best be achieved with boarding!! I also aim to make boarding my most cost-effective option (in most cases) because it requires the fewest trips! *See additional details about boarding requirements.

I also aim to make boarding my most cost-effective option (in most cases) because it requires the fewest trips! When we meet to discuss procedures, I take thorough notes just like I do for class! When I enter your home for petsitting, rest assured that I will pay close attention to detail and take care of every task you ask of me to the best of my ability. I am not afraid to clean when I think it is necessary or beneficial, and strive to leave your home and anything I use in the same or better condition than it was when I encountered it. I will let dogs out to potty as directed and clean any litter boxes or crates at least daily or as directed. I will feed your pets with extra care and be mindful of their behavior and intake. Water is the most important substance for the body, so it is of top priority for me to provide plenty of fresh water and monitor water intake as well. I like to provide extra containers in case one becomes empty or gets spilled. Perhaps the best part about home pet sitting is your pets comfort and one-on-one enrichment. While I have had the privilege to work in some excellent facilities, I have also seen some pretty awful boarding kennels! I strive to make your pet feel as secure, comfortable, and happy as possible during my stay and will take the time to understand each one’s individual needs in order to tailor my care to them! From a run around the block to a nap on the couch, I aim to provide whatever will make your pet happy while you are away.
