“Anna was amazing!! We had a few situations arise that she was so gracious to adjust to meet the needs of our fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough and brag on the care and love she gave our dogs!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been there for over five years. Through this experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My job requires patience, attentiveness, strong communication, and a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. We also board cats, so I am very comfortable with them as well. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. I’m flexible with my schedule and usually available, and I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine with my own dog Bentley, and I’m excited to get to care for your pet/s as well. I’m open to trying anything that best suits your dog’s needs and routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size, age, or even multiple dogs at once.
“Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.”
“Izzy is amazing and I have no worries leaving my fur babies in her care. She is on-time and is great with communicating if she is going to be a few minutes late. On my last trip she even noticed I had messed up on my days that I booked her and she was able to accommodate the mistake. I’m so greatful to have found her to care for my babies when I’m away :)”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Zo takes phenomenal care of my dog and I trust him 100% with his care. My dog loves to see Zo walk through the door and Zo displays uncommon kindness and generosity to make sure my dog is happy and healthy.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was away! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares deeply about animals. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept his water fresh, and even spent time playing with him (which he loved — she quickly figured out his favorite toys!). She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. It’s clear she treats pets like her own, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained. I’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Michelle communicates quickly and professionally. I trust her to take my dog for a lunch time walk while I am out and she always locks up behind herself. She has gone out of the way to check on our cats when one of them wasn't feeling well. Highly recommend her and glad to have her as my pet-nanny :)”
“Claire was great for our drop-in visit! She was reliable, checked in right on time, and kept us updated with clear communication. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood starting when I was in middle school! Since then, I’ve continued to pet sit whenever I can, from walks, to drop in visits, to staying overnight. I also occasionally volunteer with Young Williams Animal Shelter, where I participate in “Doggie Day Trips”, taking a dog who needs some extra love out of the shelter for the day! I have experience giving oral medication, as well as providing overnight senior dog care- not to mention some high energy dogs as well. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog’s different personality! I currently have a very flexible part-time work schedule, meaning I have plenty of time for your pups! I’m happy to help out with any last minute needs as well. Currently, I’m available to work anytime in the mornings and afternoons until around 3. After this, I am flexible with advance notice! I care for pets in their home to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. I will follow all instructions given to me, and prioritize their safety and health. I will send plenty of photos so you can stay updated on how everything is going!
About: I am willing to do prior meet and greets for your convenience! For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm, to big playful dogs, to small shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures and partial blindness, behavioral issues with other dogs, and energy levels that never run out! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! I am a full time college student at the University of Tennessee. I have time each day to check in, play, exercise, or feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple times throughout the day, flexible around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.
About: My approach is always personalized, focusing on each pet's unique needs and ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in caring for a wide range of pets, including puppies, senior animals, and those with special needs. I’m currently a college student home for the summer so have a bunch of open time to care and love for your pets. My open schedule ranges any hour Monday-Saturday and anytime after 1 pm on Sundays When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. I ensure that they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore, with access to toys, cozy bedding, and regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom breaks. I pay close attention to any specific instructions regarding diet, medications, and special needs to ensure the pet's well-being and comfort. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“My dogs were happy to have Chelcie come visit them! She took good care of them and was able to assist when my trip was extended an extra day. I liked the updates and felt confident that my kids were safe and happy. Well use her any time I have to travel without them.”
Fort Sanders pet parents share their Rover experiences
We cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. This wasn’t just basic pet sitting. It was a rare combination of professionalism, patience, and a genuine compassion for animals. Our Kahlua is extremely timid and does not warm up to anyone outside of mom and dad. We were honestly very nervous leaving her — but from the very first visit, Lauren connected with her in a way we have almost never seen. Within no time our baby was relaxed, engaged, and actually excited to see her. Lauren clearly understands dog behavior and allowed ours to come to her at her own pace, and the trust she built was remarkable. We came home to a happy, calm dog and complete peace of mind while we were away. Finding someone you trust with your pet is everything, and Lauren is truly exceptional.
Brooke was wonderful! She came over before the trip to meet my dogs, see my house, and learn their routines. While I was gone she let me know when she arrived, how the dogs were, shared pictures, and when she left. I wasn't anxious at all about how the dogs were being cared for. I will 100% use Brooke again!
Anna was great to work with. She was very communicative and quick to respond. She took great care of our Husky and two cats. She even sent some adorable pictures of all of the animals during her visit. I would highly recommend using her for your next pet sitter!
Tia was great. She came to the house to meet my gang before we booked and went above and beyond when I was away. She was flexible with what I needed and helpful with everything, even when I got sick and had to come home early. I would definitely have her again!
Ev really saved us this holiday season! Our normal sitter had something come up last minute so we had to find someone same day on Christmas Eve! Ev responded very quickly and took such great care of our cat over the holiday. I told Ev that there was no way our outdoor cat would interact with her, but one day later she sent a picture of her petting our cat! Animals know kind souls.
We had an excellent experience Hannah and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Caring for multiple cats can be a challenge, but she handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine affection. She took the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, needs, and routines, ensuring everyone received the attention and care they required. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and we returned home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats. It was clear they felt comfortable and secure in her care. Professional, dependable, and truly kind, she went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again.
Lilly was absolutely amazing! From the moment my pup met her, he fell in love with her! And I could tell she treated him so well while we were gone! She kept in great contact and sent plenty of pictures of my boy to keep my mind at ease while I was away! I even had a slight panic one night with my pup, and she went above and beyond to help! I highly recommend her!!
