1. Kelly D.


“More than 5 stars isn't possible but Kelly deserves it. She was FANTASTIC with our dogs!! She took the time to come meet with us 2x prior to the sit date which was nice so our dogs could get a chance to meet her before we left them in her care. We didn't need to worry because she was letting us know how they were doing while we were gone, which helped me put my mind at ease. When we returned she had a note telling us of their adventures and how they did. WE LOVED IT!!! I cannot recommend Kelly high enough!! I/We will definitely be using her again.”


2. LaDonna & Chris K.


“Best sitter ever!!! She went above and beyond to not only look after the pets, which by the way loved her❤️. She also loved on the house. I have never come back from a trip with my house looking and smelling so good ?”


3. Ben T.

“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”


4. JaNiya P.

“JaNiya was incredible with my dog! She is very knowledgeable about animals and handled my reactive pup with ease. I highly recommend trusting her with your pets and your home :)”


5. Bradishia F.

“So amazing!!!! I had never left my sweet baby with anyone except my parents before. But when we all went on vacation together, I had to find someone - I’m SO happy/grateful that I found Bradishia. She knew I was nervous leaving Jelly, so she sent me a lot of pictures and updates which made me feel so much better. She left my apartment VERY clean and spotless and even washed the towels before leaving. She rocks!!”


6. Molly R.

“Molly became best friends with our little Latte! She would send updates frequently. We were hesitant to use Rover since this was the longest we’ve been away, but we will certainly be booking with Molly again in the future.”


7. Charlie M.

“Charlie took great care of our girl Ari! She was patient and understanding of Ari's Senior needs and quirks. She sent plenty of pics and updates to keep us in the loop. (Not to mention she was also an excellent house guest, leaving our home as tidy as ever). It put my mind at ease knowing Ari was in good hands with Charlie while we were away. ❤️”


8. Sommer M.

“Sommer was amazing! Well, it was a last-minute decision to go out of town for the holidays and leave our puppy. We are so happy and lucky we found her. She did multiple overnight stays for us and worked around her schedule and was very diligent and making sure that our puppy was taken care of. I definitely look forward to having her as a part of our family as needed! Thank you, Sommer for all your help and I was not worried about my dog at all!”


9. Kaley H.
“Kaley is one of the most caring, responsible and loving human you will ever meet. My dog is obsessed with her! Highly recommend Kaley to watch after your pet. Your pet will of course get extra lovings when you book with Kaley!”


10. Emily F.

“Emily did a great job taking care of kimmy. She was able to come sit my dog kimmy in my house on short notice and really saved my situation. She gave me updates when she came over and everything worked out. I will definitely try to book her next time. Thanks Emily”


11. Ashleigh V.
“Ashleigh is awesome with our GSD! Our dog had a Vertigo episode (old dog vertigo) and she handled so well. Took her to the ER vet and spoon fed her til we got home ‘cos she wouldn’t eat . Our dog has recovered and we were so happy Ashleigh took such good care of her . We would definitely recommend her !!!”


12. Analie S.

“Analie was absolutely incredible. I had a different Rover sitter cancel on me a few hours before they were supposed to get here and was frantically looking for someone to cover. Luckily Analie was available and willing to watch my girl at the last minute. She was very flexible, followed instructions, my dog seemed happy when I got back and she made sure to leave my house in a neat state. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about my experience with Analie, and it would be an absolute pleasure to have her take care of my baby girl again. I absolutely recommend Analie!!”


13. Emma J.
“Emma frequently stayed with our dogs over the past couple of years. My dogs love her and have been so well cared for when she has cared for them. From multi-day stays to drop-in care, Emma has always done an outstanding job.”


14. Shelly C.
“I can’t say enough awesome words about Shelly! She was so responsible and caring for my pup Henry. She kept me aware of all the fun activities, treats,walks, etc they did together through videos. I will definitely want to have Shelly as my dog sitter in the future!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life as well as have a fur baby of my own! I enjoy taking care of all kinds of pups😊 I am currently in the Respiratory Care program at Chattanooga state and am looking for something to do on the side. I couldn’t think of a more perfect fit!
