1. Kelly D.


“Kelly was great! Our dog, Cailey is a nervous girl and Kelly tackled the challenge with ease. During our pre-stay meet and greet, Kelly took detailed notes to ensure she knew everything necessary, and afterward, she left us notes as well detailing the day to day activities. She gave us updates and pictures to let us know how everything was going. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Cailey was well taken care of. Definitely would recommend.”


2. 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!!”


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. Joan H.


“Joan did a great job caring for our Great Dane and poodle while we were out town for the weekend. She sent many photos and videos, and the dogs seemed like they had been well attended to in our absence. Also, our house was kept in very nice condition. We’ll be happy if Joan is able to help us again in the future!”


5. 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”




6. Caitlin T.

“Caitlin is a very passionate individual. She has a deep love for dogs. She treats her own dog like a prince and is very well cared for and would treat any dog the exact way because she believes every dog deserves a forever home and to be loved. She has worked with caring for dogs as her full time job for more than a year and a half. She is highly motivated and a hard worker with a strong work ethic and will take pride in her work. Any dog owner would be lucky to have her in any capacity.”


7. Mike W.

“Wow is all I can say! We have only lived in Tennessee 2 years and work so much we haven’t met anyone we trusted with our boys so thought we’d try Rover for a trip to Florida to help my parents move. We were gone a full 7 days. Michael came to meet us and our boys a couple weeks prior to our trip and was very pleasant and professional. We have a pit and a frenchie that are a bit high maintenance. Every day he sent us pics and a note on how everyone was doing. Our home was spotless when we got back he even picked up the back yard and ran our vacuum. Our boys seemed happy and we couldn’t be happier owners! Michael really took a ton of stress off our shoulders and made it easy for us to be productive and have a good week away. Thank you so much!!!!!”


8. Delaney S.
“Delaney was a wonderful sitter for our boys! We have two of the craziest Frenchies I've ever seen and she handled them just fine! We've had problems getting a sitter for them since they are such high energy but she has never had a problem! Delaney made sure to update us throughout their stay at her house and they seemed to have a great time with her dog! I would recommend her to everyone.”


9. Hayden & Tiffany P.
“Hayden had watched my dog Charlie many times. Somethimes for a day or two at a time, and another time for about a week. He is always very caring and great with charlie so I never feel I need to worry while I'm away. The photo updates are great as well! I would highly recommend him to anyone.”


10. Hannah D.
“Hannah truly loves animals. She is responsible and hardworking and has always been amazing with our pets. I completely trust her to do her job and do it well!”


11. Kallie T.
“When we first moved to the area we only went on pet friendly vacations because we did not have anyone to watch our fur babies, also known as a German Shepard and Golden Retriever until we found Kallie! She listened to all my particulars like a mom leaving a new born! She took such good care of our babies on several occasions and treated them like her own. If you are looking for a responsible and kindred pup loving soul give her a try!”


12. Katherine C.
“Katherine was so wonderful with my lab, Sheldon and my cat, Pheobe! She gave lots of updates and sent great photos. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pets taken care if she’s very sweet with my babies! Pheobe and Sheldon have special medication that she makes sure to administer at the right doses every time! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Wendy is excellent with my two dogs, is caring with my home, and keeps me well informed while I am way. I appreciate how responsive, accountable, and trustworthy she is. I recommend Wendy.”


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!!”


15. 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!”


16. Caitlyn F.
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! I am available for drop-ins and walks after 2:30 Monday’s and Friday’s, after 11:00 Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, and anytime on Thursday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s. I am also available for dog sitting in the house at any time! I enjoy getting to know and bond with new animals because all pups are unique! I can take any necessary steps to make you and your dog feel safe and comfortable with me! 🫶🏼


17. Elijah G.
About: I have dog-sit for my neighbor's dogs. In addition to this, I have experience in house sitting for my neighbors' homes while they are on vacation. I enjoy caring for my sister's dog, Shih Tzu, and I would like to move forward with this enjoyment in a future job. That's why I believe pet care would be a valuable weekly routine I would take notes on the care that the owner wants me to provide. If I was not given any notes, I would provide the best knowledge-based care that I know for pets: food, water, playtime, or quiet time.


18. Levi G.
“Levi definitely knows what he is doing with our fur babies. He is reliable, trustworthy, and will give them lots of loves. Anytime I need a pet sitter he is my go to because our pups love him so much. You can’t go wrong choosing him!”


19. Taylor M.
“Taylor is kind, communicative, and responsible. I never have to worry about my dog when she’s sitting for me. Sadie is always well taken care of and tuckered out by the time she comes home.”


20. Amanda D.

“Sid was taken care of nicely. He was the same dog we left. Goofy and showed only the signs that his people were home. Amanda was great with him and earned his trust by the second night. He was so comfortable that he slept with her. Great job. We’ve booked her again for a longer vacation in May.”
