House Sitting College Hills

“Highly recommend Joy as both an in-home pet and house sitter. She took the time to do a meet and greet with our two dogs which went a long way toward building our confidence in leaving them in her care. While we were away she treated our dogs as the center of the universe and went above and beyond to be sure they were very well loved and cared for. We know this because she is very communicative sending photos and videos of them throughout the day. It was like they were at doggie summer camp. Joy left our home cleaner than we did and is a delight to work with.”

“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”

“Super sweet, reliable, and sent us lots of updates while we were away, which we really appreciated.”

About: Hey! I'm Darby, I have 6 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Pet sitting was the fist way I discovered I could make money when I was in middle school, and I still love it to this day! I have about 1.5 years of experience working as a trained veterinary technician. This means that I am comfortable working with special needs animals, providing special diets, and administering medication. I am also familiar working with animals that may be anxious. Right now, I'm studying animal biology at The University of Tennessee, working at an exotic animal clinic, and am starting to apply for veterinary school. Relevant Classes: Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Small Animal Veterinary Medicine I'm currently working part-time and taking college courses online. My best availability is all-day Friday-Sunday, but I can be flexible if I have a heads up! I like to make sure I have everything I need to know from a client before they leave so I don't have to bother them too much while they're away! This includes medication, feeding schedule, behavioral problems, and any space that may be off limits to myself and/or the pet. I'm no stranger to a mess, so no worries if your pet is prone to accidents.

“Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I am in college and have lots of free time! I have a maximum of 3 classes a day with a mix of online! That leaves more than enough time for puppy time!! I am in an apartment. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs and cats. My experience includes daily husbandry, feeding, medication administration, exercise, cleaning, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and care needs and am committed to providing safe, attentive, and individualized care. I am a full time student but I am fully able to provide care overnight. I will be able to stay with a pet over multiple days and will provide long walks (if needed) when I finish school in the afternoon. I will care for each pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. I’ll follow all owner instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, exercise, feeding, and enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout my care. I’ll also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Allison took great care of my pets. She sent regular photos and updates. Both were happy and not stressed when I got home. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m new to Rover and I’d love to be your dog or cats new best friend! I’ve grown up with Norwegian Elkhounds & Akita’s, so I am very familiar with large snow breeds. I have always pet sat for my neighbors, family friends, and coworkers. I’m comfortable caring for animals of many sizes and personalities - for real. I’ve watched dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, bunnies, and even birds. I am a pre-vet junior at UTK, and currently work at a large animal hospital - mainly with equines! I’m a part time college student with a part time job. Dog/cat sitting is a fun side job for me! I am able to do drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I am not able to have animals stay at my apartment, but I am very happy to stay with them at their house. I also feel it’s more comfortable and convenient for them!

“She was absolutely wonderful with our slightly difficult dog and our cat loved her as well . We felt at ease on our trip knowing that our pets and home were well taken care of. I highly recommend and we will definitely be using Elaina again for any future house pet/ house sitting.”

I often pet sit for friends and family when they’re out of town which includes feeding, walking, playing, and making sure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away from home. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is active or naps all day, I will treat them like my own and make sure they get all the love and care they need!

“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”

About: I have a handful cats, but I also love dogs. Growing up with 5 dogs was my favorite part of life. I’ve been watching after pets since I was 13. I started watching my grandmas dog when she travelled. Then I watched my neighbors cat. It quickly escalated to watching friends and more neighbors. I then used Facebook market place for a while and now am using rover! Taking care of your pet is my first priority. I am available any day any time. I currently work from home and run my own schedule. I will make sure your pet is well loved and looked after. Nothing brings me more joy than getting to spend time playing with a cat or dog. If your pet needs some extra attention, I’d be happy to help!

“Melissa is fantastic! She exceeded our expectations while caring for our two cats and dog. Her communication was top-notch—she sent updates and pictures regularly. She was very thorough at the meet-and-greet, which really paid off. All our animals were happy , and the house looked great when we returned from our trip. I will definitely book her again!”
