I’m happy to work around what each pet needs and can also accommodate recurring visits or last-minute requests when needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions given. I make sure they are safe, fed, and comfortable at all times. I respect the client’s home and keep everything secure. I give pets attention so they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.
About: I’m a first‑time pet sitter but a lifelong pet lover who has cared for my own animals with lots of patience and attention. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on their routine, and give plenty of playtime and cuddles. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine very easily because I’m currently not working and have a very open schedule. I’m able to be flexible with drop‑in visits and walks, and I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I respond quickly to messages and can usually accommodate last‑minute bookings. I live with my family in a calm, smoke‑free home where pets are treated like part of the family. I always follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and medications, and I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I focus on gentle handling, clean water and spaces, and lots of love so your pet feels secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve participated in taking care of animals since I was 5, and took on full responsibility since 11-12. My home has always been full of animals (mostly consisting of cats and dogs) and at most had 11! Usually it’s a pretty 50/50 split between the two. We’ve always rescued animals so they come to me in any shape or form, many kittens / puppies and many seniors! I would love to come by and see your fur babies! Sunrise to sunset, my schedule is very open to coming by and saying hello to any fur baby! I currently can’t work, so what better way to spend my time! Anything the client requests! I’m unable to host any animal visits, but I’m very open to traveling. The care will consist of any basic activities I’m needed to do, feeding, cleaning up any accidents in the home, managing the animals crate, playing with them and getting their energy out for a nice sleep afterwards, and anything else needed!

“Shelley did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She took great notes and communicated the entire time we were gone as well as sent pictures. Most definitely will have her care for our pups again!”

“Kayla is great; I highly recommend her. She followed all my notes and left the house in the same way we left it. Our animals seemed content with her, and she made extra effort to befriend our shy cat. She played with the dogs and captured their personalities in her pictures. She worked with our schedule and provided thorough information in her checkin communications.”


About: I’ve taken care of everything from dogs, to cats, and everything in between!! I’m experienced with medications and many more things. Got a strange request? I’m there for ya! I am free every night and happy to travel wherever needed!! I love to spend some nice quality time with your animal!! I’m happy to sit and knit or go on as many walks as needed! I love to meet new people and of course their fur babies!! I am happy to provide a safe space for each animal to live and play!!
About: I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I’m a stay at home mom for the past few years. My children are in school though, and I have time to spend helping others with their pets. I have a German Shepherd named Dutchess & a rescue dog suitably named Benji. I am a Girl Scout leader, so hopefully that means you can trust me. I am native to TN and enjoy meeting new people and other families. I also pet sit some farm animals, so I am trained in feeding and caring for goats, donkeys, ponies, and chickens as well! We have had older pets with medical needs such as feeding tubes and administering medicine so feel free to contact me for helping with special needs animals as well. I always pick up the poop. Standard practice. I will play with your pets. That’s not even a question. I love seeing happy animals. 🥰 I am very flexible at the moment, so let’s just discuss what your needs are and we can go from there. I am up early and up pretty late at night. I will always let you know how your pet is doing and send photos if you enjoy receiving those. You’re welcome to give me set rules for your home if I am going inside to see your pet. I have respect for others and boundaries. If an animal is out of water, I will refill the bowl, or clean up if I see an accident. I will bring inside incoming packages on your porch if it’s there when I come by. Common sense stuff. Everything is pretty much open for discussion though.
About: With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care. Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule. I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.
About: I have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I currently dog sit for multiple clients already. I stay super active so I would let your pup unleash all of its energy. I have also been a part of fostering programs in the past. I am a full time firefighter so I work every third day which means I only work about 2 to 3 days per week! So lots of availability for your pets. I have a fenced in back patio for the pups to sunbathe and soak there vitamin D for the day and a large yard space. There are dog parks and hiking trails near me where I can take them if necessary. I also have a 6 year old labradoodle named Ella who loves meeting and playing with new fur friends.
“Danielle made it easier to leave my pup for the first time! I was super nervous about leaving him by himself, but after getting the first videos and photos gave me such a piece of mind and I was able to enjoy my time away worry free!”

“Jason was awesome! He made sure that Tank got everything he needed, yet Jason was patient with me during my bereavement at the funeral I attended. First time was a success and I wish nothing for the best for the next client in working with Jason because a he’s sweet,caring,and phenomenal??”
About: I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are happy and well taken care of. I want to be someone you and your pet can rely on. I’ve dog/cat/house sat for many people many times and I’ve built a connection with each human and animal different than any other. I work as a caretaker, so I’m available at different times, but it’s flexible. Right now, I would be available for 3 visits a day and would only be away from the house during house sitting about 4 hours a day. When caring for a pet, I try to read their expressions to understand what they need/want. I will keep them entertained when they want to play and leave them alone when they want to be left alone. I will make sure they’re safe and happy. I like to walk, play, relax, talk with any pet I’m with.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter who truly loves animals. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, meals, or just extra cuddles, your pet will be happy and well cared for. Offering you peace of mind while you are away from home. During the week I work full time but since I am an empty nester I can schedule time before I go to work in the morning to spend time with your fur baby / babies or arrive at your home right after work to either spend time or be there for an over night stay so they aren't alone. If you are planning a weekend get-a-way I am available to stay with them for the duration of the weekend. I provide reliable overnight pet sitting in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely, including evening and morning care, feeding, walks, medications, and plenty of affection. With attentive overnight presence and regular updates, you can rest easy knowing your pets and home are safe, cared for, and treated with the same love and respect I would give my own. I am always happy to send pictures of your pet to you while you're away as I know you miss them as much as they miss you.

About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at Middle Tennessee State University with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This means I am available often for your pets! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I have been caring for dogs all of my life. I have had my own dogs for over six years now. I’ve been told by friends and family that I’m a great person to care for all types of animals. I’m available most nights during the week and my weekends are almost always available. I’m always willing to keep a flexible schedule to make sure that I can give you the best service for your pet. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs that will keep your pet company during their stay. I can also crate and provide any additional services needed for your pet.
About: I've been blessed with a dogs love my entire life. From Poodles to Rottweilers they've been the joy of my life. Currently, my furbaby is Charlie. The bestest boy EVER! HE a Golden Retriever and is everyone's best friend. We have a pet friendly home with a one acre backyard completely fenced in for 100% safe play and exercise. I am retired so I am available for your baby 24/7. Your dog may roam free in our home or you can bring your own crate if necessary at night or if I have errands to run As I mentioned in my profile, our one acre yard is securely enclosed by an eight foot fence. Inside our home they may roam freely downstairs. Also, for my safety, my dogs safety and the safety of any other dog in my care, I WILL NOT accept any aggressive dogs or select breeds at my discretion. I am not willing to take any chances with my baby or yours.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Christiana
We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of Fern and Hazel while we were away and followed all of our instructions closely. With two dogs that have very different personalities and routines, it gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and we came home to two happy dogs. We really appreciate the care she gave them and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Emilee was amazing with our two girls! We had her do drop-ins 3x/day for a week while on vacation, and she did great! Always sent photos and updates and spent time hanging out and snuggling with them. We had no doubt they were being well cared for by Emilee, and we will definitely use her in the future. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Christiana choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
