“Hayley was wonderful with our cats and we loved seeing photo updates too! She kept the house clean while we were away by vacuuming too and was quick to respond to requests and questions. Would highly recommend her!”
“Mariah did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She provided updates daily and sent pictures when cat made an appearance. I will definitely use Mariah next time my 3 cats need a babysitter.”
“Wendy house sat and fed the cats in the morning and evening. I think the cats were happier with Wendy staying overnight. Wendy did an excellent job and I was well pleased. The cats were not stressed as they have been in the past when I have had someone just come feed them twice a day. If you have cats (or dogs) I would recommend Wendy and house sitting.”
“Jenn is an excellent pet sitter! She checked in on my cats twice a day while I was out of town, and she took care of every little detail including meals and litter boxes. At the last minute, one of my cats needed to be given medication twice a day so Jenn took care of that too. Throughout the entire process, she was easy to communicate with and incredibly detail-oriented. I really appreciate how easy it was to book her services, and I plan to book her again in the future. I would recommend Jenn to anyone who needs help with their pets.”
“Tiphaney did an amazing job while we were away. She sent pictures to keep us updated and reassured that everything was going well at home. She spent time with our kitties at each visit to give them that extra attention. We will definitely give her a call again.”
“Brianna was the perfect sitter. She was very communicative, sent daily updates and pictures, she clearly treated my animals like her own. It gave me real peace of mind while I was away. When we arrived home after our vacation the animals were calm and happy. We could tell they were treated well. Brianna went above and beyond to ensure that when we arrived home we could rest and relax. We hit the lottery when we selected Brianna from the Rover app. We will book all future vacations around Brianna’s availability that is how pleased we are with her services! I will recommend Brianna to my friends and family for any pet needs. She is dependable and honest!”
About: I've lived on a farm growing up and have experience with older dogs. I've only had two from puppyhood so not as much experience there but always willing to gain experience. I currently work a full time job but I'm available on evenings during the week and all day on weekends for any last minute trips. I can and will follow any directions given. I do not follow the carrot and stick approach, I prefer to be gentle but firm. You'll need to give me a limit on treats.
“She is absolutely fantastic I highly recommend her. She took extra special care of my cat. He likes to be put on the sink and brushed with a warm flea comb and she even did that for him. I will use her again for sure. She even did FaceTime with him on her visits so I could talk to him.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. In the past couple of years I have cared for my grandmothers rescue dog while she works. I have experience with reactive dogs and training puppies. I am a full time college students so my schedule is a bit tight but I still have time to walk or house sit your pet. I have unfenced back and front yard and a small fenced in area in my backyard. I have a pet friendly dog who is crate trained and well behaved. I have experience leash and crate training. I have a small crate and a large crate in my house.
“Anna is absolutely wonderful! Our cat, Bandit, is usually skittish around new people, but he warmed up to Anna very quickly. She was so good with him. She sent pictures every day with notes about how he was doing. We are so happy to have found her! She is delightful to be with, and we look forward to having her stay with Bandit again. In fact, when we came home to a clean house, Bandit looked at us like "ok, you guys are home, but where is my Anna?"”
“Leah & Autumn were wonderful! They took such good care of my cats while I was away. They kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and reports. They played with my kitties, loved them, and in general, took excellent care of my babies. In fact, they took such good care of them, my babies showed no signs of distress when I returned. It was nice having the peace of mind to enjoy my trip knowing I had these two lovely people caring for my beloved pets. Thank you so much Leah and Autumn!”
About: I have grown around all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, sugar gliders, and lizards. I love getting to know different animals and I have done a lot of research about their care. I will be starting school back in Cookeville soon so from August 6th through the 19th I will be available any time any day of the week. After that once my classes start I will be available evenings Monday through Thursday and any time Friday through Sunday. I cannot have pets in my current apartment so it would make me so happy to help others care for their precious babies! I will treat client homes and their pets with respect and love. I am a very organized and clean person and I would love to help other take care of their fur babies!
About: I have two dogs and one cat of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! For cats, I can also play with them and give them some love! I’m a rising junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, and it’s something I truly love. From energetic puppies to wise senior pets, I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing them with the best care possible. In high school, I worked as a dedicated dog walker, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. Later, I had the opportunity to work as a vet tech assistant, where I learned valuable skills in pet health, behavior, and medical care. This experience gave me the ability to recognize signs of distress, administer basic pet care, and ensure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m also experienced in training puppies, reinforcing good behavior, and providing gentle support to senior pets who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them like family, and I look forward to creating a happy, stress-free experience for both of you! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so you can count on me to be there when you book! Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love ensuring animals feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. From extra exercise to medication or just companionship, I always prioritize their well-being and treat them like family. If you schedule me, I will be there! I will not agree to any schedule if I do not 100% know I can accommodate those times. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care experience. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine—whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or special care needs. I ensure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for while keeping their space clean and stress-free. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and personalized attention, so owners can feel confident their furry friends are in good hands
“I was very happy w the loving care Laurel gave to Ashia over the weekend while I was away , we got home and all was well w my cat ?⬛. I will us her services again !! Thanks SO MUCH , we didn’t have to worry , she was in good hands ! ?Mr. & Mrs. Smith”
“I loved that she spent quality time with my animal instead of on her phone. I’ve seen this quite a bit from some sitters on here. She genuinely cares for the animals which is very nice. My cat does require a lot of litter box attention so I will not go into a lot of detail here but it could have been better on that front. Over all I would recommend her to sit your babies.”
