“Paige did a great job taking care of our fur babies. I have always felt uncomfortable leaving them, but Paige made me feel at ease. She was very willing to come meet with me so I could let her know their preferences and show her their environment, including where they liked to hide! I would definitely be very happy to leave them in her care again.”
“LaDonna and Chris were awesome. We had some household things come up and they volunteered to stay at the house when the repair was being done. They spent lots of sweet time with our kitty and she was well cared for. They took out the trash and made sure our house was secure. They went above and beyond what was asked for.”
About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am a 24 year old veterinary assistant who loves animals and ensuring owners that their pets are in the best hands possible while they are away. I have been a veterinary nurse for 7 years and have been pet sitting for 10 years. I am able to properly medicate or administer injections (insulin for example) to pets if they are prescribed any medications. I like to meet with owners prior to their trip that way if there are any special needs or medications for the pet that I am aware of them. I have experience working with all ages of pets and am confident that I make sure your pet is comfortable and in safe hands while you are away. The most important part of being a pet sitter is ensuring that the pet I am watching feels safe, happy and that the stay is as low stress as possible. I currently work part time at an animal hospital and part time at a restaurant. A couple days out of the week I am working 11 hour shifts. As a sitter my goal is to keep your pet safe, stress free, and comfortable. In order to make that happen I like to communicate with my clients and learn more about their fur baby. I also am happy to communicate with the client while on their trip if they prefer that with photos and updates.
“When we returned from our recent getaway, both of our kitty cats were calm and relaxed. That tells me just how good Jay took care of them!! Jay is great and his love for animals clearly shows. I fully trust him and know that all will be well while we are away. Thank you Jay!”
“Laura’s consistent communication and photo updates made me feel certain that my cats were both safe and content. Thanks to her attentive care, I feel confident in trusting her with my pets.”
About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey and I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, but have been dog sitting full time for the past 3+ years. I also have my own licensed dog boarding business, and do Rover on the side when I have availability! My husband and I live in Athens,TN. We have about 5 acres of land fenced in. We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with. I hope to watch your fur baby real soon! ❤️ So I’m available any weekend or weekday to dog sit your sweet fur babies! I will make sure they are in great hands! Look forward to meeting new clients! I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands. So your dog wouldn’t ever need to be crated unless you have them sleep in one at night. I can also admin meds if they require to have any during the day. I have a fenced in yard that wraps around my whole house, and also send pics throughout the day how they are doing. They have plenty of room to play as well.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, farm animals and reptiles. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care has always been a part of my everyday life! I own a dog, two cats, a snake, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and a betta fish, and that’s after I rehomed 5 animals lol. Caring for so many different animals has made taking care of pets a natural part of my daily routine. 🐾💕 I do not have a fenced-in backyard, so I wouldn’t have a private area to let your dog out, but we can always go somewhere public or use your yard if your home offers one. I also have a crate available if needed! I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routines.
“It was evident when we first met her, JaNiya is an animal lover. She’s knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She was patient with our scaredy cat and let her slowly get used to the new human in the house. JaNiya is very kind and she was respectful of our home. We will definitely request her to housesit/cat sit for us again.”
“We had Becca come for a meet and greet while we were home to meet our pack and the setup for future house sitting. She was very communicative prior to the visit and really loved on our furbabies during the visit. We are looking forward to planning our trip and for Becca to stay with our furbabies.”
“Michelle was amazing! She updated me every time she did anything for the cats which made me feel like they were in good hands. She did housesitting for us & she cleaned up everything before leaving. The sheets were by the laundry room, kitchen was cleaned up, etc. Will be booking with her in the future! My cats absolutely loved her.”
About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!
About: Hi, I'm Carley or most know me as Angelina! I have been caring for furry fiends all my life! I have had a several goldens, yorkies, and my current little guy is a german short haired pointer! I absolutely love getting to play, walk, or snuggle with any pet of any size! I definitely believe the saying that a dog is a mans best friend and believe that we should treat our animals as such.I as a fellow dog mom understand how important it is to have someone you can trust watching a member of your family. I believe spending just a few hours with an pet (or human, in their case) can change the whole mood for the day. I am fairly flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your family member is cared for! From walking and check ins, to pet sitting, or even spending your day out with your four legged friend, I know your little friend will be loved and happy in my care. I feel comfortable feeding, playing with, walking, and even taking your pets on outings! My work schedule is a set one, so I can stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work and anytime during the weekends. If you need something a little bit different let me know and I am happy to accommodate your needs! I have a huge yard that all dogs love to run in and I live in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walking in.
“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”

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.
