About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats through personal and family pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, litter care, and making sure they are safe, happy and comfortable daily! I work full-time during weekdays, but i am available for pet care in the evenings, Wednesday after 1:30, and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I prioritize and trust by following each pet’s routine, maintaining a calm and clean environment, using proper leash and door safety, and ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. ​I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. ​ ​I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. ​ ​When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.

About: I grew up on a mini-farm with all kinds of pets! I’ve always loved caring for and pampering animals. I have been professionally pet sitting for about 5 years now. I pet sit for friends and family too! I love all fur babies❤️ my job is caring for other people’s pets so that means i am home all the time especially when i am sitting someone’s fur baby! My home is open to animals! they usually sleep in my bed and are welcome on couch too. I have a backyard that I will walk them in to go potty. I can crate if needed but that is not necessary in my home!

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience providing dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, and exotics of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including seniors and pets that require extra patience, routine, or medication support. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and comfort cues so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, feeding, walking, playtime, potty clean-up, and companionship, along with light home care and housekeeping while pet parents are away. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines, and proactive about communication—because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved pet. Above all, I truly love animals. I’m calm, nurturing, and observant, which helps pets warm up quickly and feel at ease. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and cautious, I meet them where they are and care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱💙 Since I don’t work a traditional 8–5 schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to be flexible and attentive to pets’ needs. I plan my schedule around pet visits to ensure consistency, reliability, and unrushed care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs and established routine. I value structure and communication, so I arrive on time, follow instructions carefully, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes. Whether your pet needs regular check-ins, companionship while you’re away, or extra attention during certain times of day, I’m intentional about making pet care a priority—not an afterthought. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible, because familiar environments help reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household preferences. I’m attentive, observant, and respectful of both pets and property. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, food and water areas are clean, and litter boxes or outdoor spaces are properly maintained. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I practice calm, gentle handling and never force interactions—especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets. Trust is built through patience and consistency. I also provide updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or during short visits, my goal is to create a safe, peaceful environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for. 🐾💙

About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.

About: Since I’ve been a kid I’ve been around animals of all kinds. I have owned dachshunds, poodles, labs, and other animals. I love to take care of them. I work full time but I will be phasing more into pet care. Once I can get my facility built and inspected I will be able to board quite a few animals. I will make sure the animals are fed and watered. Depending on how long the watch is I’ll take them out however many times needed. I will also follow all instructions given by the owners.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.

About: The people closest to me know me as their go-to pet sitter for any and all occasions! I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs and socializing both dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for over a decade, and come with excellent references. I have strong empathy for animals, and I'd love to become your most reliable pet-sitter! I am available most mornings, days, and evenings. I am open to boarding if the situation is a good fit. My schedule is flexible so please feel free to just ask, I am happy to try and accommodate! I have a small fenced yard and screened in back porch, living in a very walkable neighborhood. I am respectful of any and all environments, responsible, and reliable. You can count on me to ensure your pets needs are met and then some, your space is left tidy, as well as ensuring your home is secure post-check in.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could. We often fostered dogs and cats taking care of them until they found their forever home. I have watched my friend’s and family’s pets for them often as an adult. I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time. I am an elementary school teacher which means Monday-Friday I am at school until around 4pm. Otherwise I am available and home with the pups 😊 I have a fenced in back yard and a doggy door which will allow your pup outside access whenever they need it. If they need to be crated while I’m not at home let me know, otherwise they can have access to both the yard and inside the house while I’m away. I do have two dogs of my own, Winnie is a dachshund and Bella is a beagle. I also have a cat named Muchacho who is indoor/outdoor.. he comes and goes as he pleases. They are super friendly with dogs and cats, but if your pet isn’t just let me know and I can make sure they are separated during the visit. I will be sure to adhere to any feeding schedules or special requests.. I would want anyone watching my babies to do the same.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart! Animals are innocent creatures who deserve nothing but special and loving care. I am willing to abide by any requests or special rules for pets, including medicine requirements, care schedules, and eating schedules.

About: I grew up with three chocolate labs by my side and have always had a big love for animals of all kinds! I want to offer my time, home, and love! New to the area looking for some companionship! I am hoping to babysit puppers or cats because I understand the guilt of leaving your dog alone while at work or on vacation. I offer day sitting as well as overnight stays. I do not have a yard but have a large apartment to explore. I am also very active so there will be plenty of walks and a few close dog parks! I am a college graduate, responsible, and punctual. I own an online store so I am able to work from home :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care and attend to your pets! I am able to have great flexibility with my job. I offer the service of house-sitting, so whatever the client prefers is what I am able to do! Their wish is my command. I am happy to play with dogs outside, to crate them at night, etc. Whatever is necessary!
