Dog Sitting Heiskell

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I of course must help care for since she is young. I feel each individual person care for their pets in the way that is best for them and I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!

“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”

About: Growing up I was always the person my neighbors, teachers, and aunts went to when they needed a dog sitter. I always enjoyed doing this and even at a young age I knew I was responsible for someone’s whole world! Now having my own puppy, a one year old Plotthound, I understand even more how important it is to be an attentive and caring pet sitter! I am currently beginning my first semester at law school at Lincoln Memorial! Even with I still have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to to stop by for a quick visit or walk, especially on the weekends! While I am unable to have dogs in my home, I will be very attentive to all pets while watching them whether that be in a clients home, yard, or on a walk. Being a pet sitter my service is providing as much care and attention to pets as possible during a visit.

“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.

“Jessica did an excellent job caring for our Pepper. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”

Sherry A.

“So happy that Veronica was available again for pet sitting. She gives great detailed updates and provides cute photos. We can always tell that our cat is comfortable by the descriptions of our cat’s behavior. It’s such a relief to be able to travel and know your pet is in excellent, caring hands. Veronica really understands annimals and treats them with love and kindness. No hesitation in enthusiastically recommending her services. Absolutely reliable and so much more!”

About: I love animals and have grown up around them my whole life. I have watched and help train dogs from a young age. I have had experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I only ask that if the dog will be coming to my place, I would prefer they be medium sized or smaller since I live in an apartment without a backyard. But, don’t worry! There is a dog park right down the road! :) I also have 2 cats, so the pets coming to my apartment have to be good with kitties! I would love to meet your furry creatures and help take care of them for you while you are busy! I can’t wait to hear from you! :) I am currently a student who works part-time, making my schedule very flexible to fit all of your needs! For the most part, my schedule is very open and even when it is not, I am always able to move things around and make time for your furry friends! I have a large apartment in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I am close to various parks to take dogs on walks frequently. I have two cats but they have their own rooms in my apartment and will not be allowed near the other animals as a safety precaution. Your animal will get access to the main areas so that they consistently have someone near them.

“Very helpful and sweet with our pups! Will definitely have her pet-sit again!”

“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to take care of, watch, check-on, entertain/walk, feed their pets since I was a kid. Just provide me with the instructions for your furry loved one and I’m at your service! I graduated with my PhD from the University of Tennessee in May 2026 and currently looking for jobs. So I’m home all day and available to take care of your pets at any time! I adhere to strict rules that clients provide me of how to take care of their pets and what to do in their homes. When I enter your home to take care of your pets, I start off with a warm hello to let your pets know I’m there and welcome them as they prefer (some like pets some like to be left alone!). I’ll entertain or stimulate your furry friends as requested. When I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your furry friends are safe upon return. I also like to provide regular updates to clients to let them know their furry loved ones are taken care of!

About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.

About: Your pets deserve more than just a sitter. I will love and care for them as if they was my own child bc pets aren’t just animals they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety, exercise, and affection for every pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, while providing a safe, clean environment and plenty of attention and affection.

“Ms. Hayley is an absolutely amazing petsitter who goes above and beyond! We originally planned to have home visits for our cat, but when the freezing weather hit, Ms. Hayley voluntarily offered to host our cat in her home for no extra charge. We are incredibly thankful and will definitely be repeat clients the next time we travel! Our cat also loves her and has had a great deal of fun, as we can clearly see in the daily updates and photos.”

About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️

“Elana was our first experience using Rover and won’t be our last. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of our 10mo Great Dane. She sent us daily updates and spent some extra time giving our boy some love. I highly recommend her and will be sure to seek her out next time we go away, our pup was super happy when we came home and you could tell he wasn’t stressed a bit. Huge relief for us because this was the first time we left him. Thanks Elana!!!!”

Jumpy/Mouthy?✅ Undersocialized?✅ Bite History?✅ Resource Guarding?✅ Reactive?✅ Leash puller?✅ Handling Sensitivities?✅ Neds medication?(oral or shot)✅ Needs medicated baths?✅ I have a high passion for animals and have recently started pet sitting full time. Now I can provide your fur babies with all day love, cuddles, and exercise! My previous line of work helps me learn how to deal with behavioral and medical issues more adequately for pet sitting. I can take care of any special needs that your pet has. I will provide all of the love they want. If your dog is spoiled, I can continue that tradition. If you have specific rules for your dog, I will continue those as well. I will treat your dog as my own

About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
