“Jade stayed with our 2 cats while we were away for 9 days. She was very organized as we set things up before the trip. It is clear that she takes persisting seriously and wants to know the details about the pets. She texted photos and updates, which we appreciated. She did a great job and we will hire her again.”
“Bonnie was great to help us out with our 2 dogs over the holidays! She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pups and home while we were gone. She sent the cutest picture updates and managed to handle our crazy Labrador that isn’t always the easiest!”
“We needed to find the perfect person to watch our two four legged kids in our home for a long trip, and we absolutely met the one. Toni met our gregarious Newfoundland and our somewhat shy Bassett, and they all fell in love with each other. Toni stayed in our house (so the dogs were comfortable lol) and it couldn’t have worked out better…the pups were right at home, Toni was able to keep an eye on our place, and she left the house cleaner than when she got there. We are completely comfortable with Toni, so grateful for her communication (daily pics and videos !) and trust her with our fur babies and our home. Can’t say enough about how we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Toni had things handled at home. Strongly recommend Toni, we will be happily asking her to help us again for our next trip. Thank you Toni, and Walter sends his best howl to you ?❤️?”

“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”

About: I’ve had animal companions my entire life. My animal companions are part of my family. They are my joy when I go home. They’re my joy when I leave the house. They’re my joy throughout the entire day when I’m with them. When I need a pet sitter for all them, I definitely need someone I can trust and rely on and know that they’re going to understand the desires and needs of each species. I am that kind of pet sitter, the kind of pet sitter I desire for my own companions. The only time I leave them is when I know they’re in really good hands. Otherwise, I won’t leave the house. I consider myself to be those really good hands that you can leave your animal companions in. I have worked at both shelters in the city, so know how to handle all types of emotional states of dogs and cats. I’m currently working at an animal emergency and specialty center where I take care of dogs and cats in the ICU. If your animal needs medical care while you’re away, I can certainly provide it. I am happy to figure out a way to get your animal friend to take their meds, but I will never stress them. I always have a stethoscope handy in case I notice something odd. I have exotics like guinea pigs, fish, snakes, and hamsters, so I’m happy to take care of your exotic animals as well. I’ve also taken care of farm animals, camels, alpaca’s and other animals of that nature if you have the need. I volunteer at the Chattanooga zoo every week. I look forward to providing you with the security you need to have a good trip and to know your animals have gold standard care. I work in Animal ICU on the weekends from 7P to 7A. I teach Astronomy at Dalton State College on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I can fit Petsitting around any of these jobs. If I need to do an overnight, my elderly mother lives with me and can take care of my pets at the house. At my home, I have a fenced yard that allows my dogs to run at their leisure. I often leave my door back door open so they can run in and out when they want to. One of my dogs is particularly aggressive so he’s isolated from the other two dogs, but he gets out and gets to run on his own when the other two dogs are put up. Two of my dogs get to sleep with me every night. My guinea pigs have a whole room in the house to themselves, and my fish and snakes are in tanks that are out in the living room. My life is basically run by my pets, my pet schedule, feeding, cleaning and enrichment, but it’s the way I want it to be. It makes me happy to take care of them.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight, I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine! I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away and truly believe that keeping pets in their home environment helps them adapt to temporary changes. I do my best to gain trust with new animals through slow and gentle movements and tone of voice, and I am patient in letting your pets warm up to me.

About: I’ve always grown up with pets of all kinds. My neighbors have constantly relied on me for dog and cat sitting. I’m very excited to meet your pets! I am a college student at the University of Tennessee, but I am living in Chattanooga this summer! I will be available part-time and overnight since I’m taking summer classes at UTC. I have classes on Mondays and Fridays from 9:30AM to 11:00AM, and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:30AM to 2:30PM. I will still have plenty of time to spend with your pets, but just wanted to be clear about my schedule! At my house, I have a yard where my dogs can let out their energy, and also enjoy taking them on walks. I know how important it is to keep dogs on a consistent schedule. It’s also very important to me that you’re dogs are comfortable with me and their surrondings.
“Emilie for sure has a passion for the pets she cares for, she made sure to care for our pets like we asked and exceeded our expectations! She went above and beyond plus our pets loved her ( even the cat😲) which just shows how well she did with them! I couldn't recommended her more and we will sure be booking with her again!”

“Abi did an amazing job taking care of Louie and our house! She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates all weekend. We could tell she knew how to handle dogs immediately after meeting her. We would highly recommend her for any pet sitting!”

“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my babies with somebody. They are not use to other people. Dena did excellent with them and me! She won them over and was very reassuring to me. She sent me pictures and kept me informed about how they were doing. She is the best!!”

“Chas was a wonderful house-sitter and pet watcher! We returned home to super relaxed, happy pets and a clean home...and communication throughout our trip was exactly what we were looking for in order to rest assured that all was well. What a treat to go away and know that your pets and home are in good hands! Thank you, Chas!”

“Our lab, Jules, has terrible separation anxiety and I hate leaving her with anyone, but Lauren was excellent, gave her special attention, and stayed in contact with me about any concerns she had. Jules looked well taken care of when we got home. I would, without any reservations, have Lauren watch her again.”

East Brainerd pet parents share their Rover experiences
Toni was absolutely fantastic to work with and did an outstanding job caring for our pets. Communication was thorough and prompt at all times. Toni continuously went above and beyond to make sure Ari & Boss (and our home!) were all exceptionally well cared for. She even navigated an off-leash dog encounter and managed to keep all pets safe, like a total pro. We have full trust in Toni after this experience and will happily book her again whenever possible! Highly recommend!!
