“Mariah is a wonderful caregiver to our pups!! Mariah is always on time and great at communicating throughout the visit. Will keep going back to her as a caregiver for them.”
“Hayley was a great drop in pet sitter for my kitty, Blackie. Her daily visits, pictures and info on how Blackie was doing each day made me feel that she wasn't missing us too much. The house and Blackie were great when we arrived home. The litter boxes were cleaned and any trash from feedings were taken care of. I would highly recommend Hayley as a wonderful pet sitter!”
“I cannot emphasize how amazing Wendy is. I trust her with my fur child 100%. If you need a great dog sitter/walker who is so kind and always available in a pinch, you need Wendy.”
“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.”
“Jenn was great with Corkey. I could tell he was happy and well taken care of. He has been spunky and extra playful since I got home so I can tell he received a lot of attention. I was nervous about leaving Corkey as this is the 1st time he wasn't left with family and he gets anxious when im gone but the rover cards with updates and pictures really eased my mind. I would recommend Jenn and will be contacting her for future needs while I'm in the area.”
“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.”
“Amazing sitter! She was kind and considerate and most important, she was consistent. The details matter and Brianna paid attention to them. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!”
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!
“This was our first time using Rover. I went with Anna and would use her again to watch our cat. She was easy to communicate with and she sent me pics from each visit. She was trustworthy and responsible. :)”
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.
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!
“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!”

Hayley is an excellent communicator and extremely prompt with her appointments. Our cat seemed very content and comfortable when we returned from our trip. Hayley sent over pictures during each visit and brought in our mail daily. We highly recommend Hayley and will be using her again in the near future.
