“She is so nice and great with my dogs. I love the photo updates of my dogs and her updates. I will use her in the future 100%.my dogs have special supplements due to cushions, disease and hip dysplasia and she was able to take care of those things as well.”
“Bethany is our go-to dog sitter anytime we travel! She provides daily updates with pics/videos to let us know Luna is safe & happy while we are away. Would definitely recommend!”
“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?"”
“Taylor was a god send for us. We had arranged for a previous sitter, not affiliated with Rover, who backed out about 10 days before our departure date. Having used Rover in the past, we conducted a quick search, found and met with 3 very qualified candidates. Taylor was the clear choice, and she was absolutely great. She and Lorelei, our soft wire dachshund, hit it off immediately. Taylor texted us and sent pictures while we were away. We would heartily recommend Taylor to anyone and will not hesitate to use her in the future.”
“Keisha could not have done a better job. She sent really awesome pictures and kept in contact. My animals are sometimes stressed when I come home from traveling, and they weren't after Keisha kept them. I hope she'll watch them again. She is wonderful!”
“Brianna is the best! She took wonderful care of our pup for a week. She stayed with Amelia in our home and they had a blast! The pictures Brianna sent captured the fun they had. We'll continue to request Brianna's help again and again!”
About: We like to call my house the mini zoo because since I was born there have never not been pets! I am a very enthusiastic and I will always match a dogs energy! I love being outside and have always loved animals. Taking care of our mini zoo has become a very normal part of my life. I am a very good multitasker so I tend to juggle many things! I will always treat the space and animal with love and kindness. Treating your pets the same way that I would treat my own. They are family after all!
“Makenna is absolutely amazing! Our pets all loved her. Our cats are afraid of strangers, and always hide. By the second day, they were out letting her pet them. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She left the house spotlessly clean. We will DEFINITELY use her in the future!!”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Rhoda! I’ve been caring for pets my whole life and have worked at a boarding facility for the past 7 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for pets with special needs (including seizures). I’ll treat your pets like my own and can send you updates while you’re away so you have peace of mind. I’m happy to care for cats, dogs, and just about anything living! I currently work my full time job Monday through Friday and Im free most weekends. Let me know your pets schedule and we will make it work with my work schedule. I will try to keep your pet on the same schedule as if you were home, with plenty of loving. I have a completely fenced in yard on a corner lot with minimum traffic and plenty of room for running and playing with plenty of toys.
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 had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

I’m so grateful to have found her on Rover and will continue to book her to care for my boys when needed :)”

Ashley A.
“I've known Ashley for over 20 years and have known her to be one of the kindest, most compassionate people I've had the pleasure to know. She grew up taking care of all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to horses, and she has always given them the best care available. My late dog Libby absolutely loved when Ashley would come to visit, and of course animals know better than anyone when someone is a good, kind-hearted, animal-loving person. I can't think of many people I would trust with my pets, but Ashley is definitely one of them.”
Rhoda S.
“Rhoda, has always had a big heart for animals ever since I can remember, animals have always been drawn to her. She has always been a big help to my animals when I needed to go out of town and even took them special treats without me asking but with my approval. I know my dogs wouldn't just let anyone in our home, but they love when Rhoda comes to visit. I highly recommend her with the care and safety of other pets.”
