“Jessica was fantastic! I would absolutely rebook!”

Mallory L.

“Always happy when Jill is available to check in on our girls. This time, we had some packages arrive early unexpectedly (including a huge Chewy box - sorry Jill!) and she brought them in for us. I always know my house and pets will be taken care of with her.”

Taylor C.

“Kristen is so good at her job! She communicates clearly and is quick to respond. And she sends pics with notes which is so appreciated when I'm traveling.”

Cindy M.

“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!”

Celeste V.

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

Victoria A.

“Veronica was great. She was very patient with Stormy who is not a very friendly cat! She was prompt and let me informed! Always sent a picture or more.”

Deb M.

“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: I offer experienced, loving care tailored to each dog's needs. I specialize in dog walking and being sure your dog gets plenty of love. Daily updates with photos included! I am a college student and working part time. On Fridays I have plenty of time to play and walk your dogs any time after 3. And I am available all day on the weekends! I follow your instructions precisely for feeding and exercise. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I keep the home clean and provide lots of love and attention to keep your pets happy!

“Ms. Jordan has been wonderful! From the initial interview meeting to scheduled then cancelled visits, to the real thing - she's been very communicative. Our fur kids loved her visit, and I did too. We received updates and pics. We're grateful to have found her! I hate to recommend her though because that means she may be too bust and not able to come when we need her. ;-) I won't be selfish like that though. Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and animals have always been one of the biggest passions in my life. For the past five years, I’ve been rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m especially comfortable caring for medically complex pets and understand the importance of strict medication schedules, feeding times, and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs extra patience, routine, or medical attention, you can trust that I’ll treat them with the same level of care and dedication that I would my own. I also love taking dogs on walks, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Professionally, I work in hospice and memory care, where compassion, patience, and reliability are essential every day. While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to rescue and foster as much as I used to, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to continue doing what I love caring for animals and giving pet owners peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide them with loving, dependable care while you’re away. I am currently working night shift 7pm-7am but have Tuesday's Thursday's Saturday's and every other Sunday off! I would love to be able to come by and hangout with your furry friend during the day when needed and discussions on boarding on weekends are always welcome! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. With five years of experience rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and specialized diets. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care while you’re away.

About: I've spent several years caring for animals through both my education and professional experience. I am currently studying veterinary medicine at UTCVM, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats, recognizing signs of illness, understanding animal behavior, and learning proper restraint techniques to keep pets safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and can carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a student at UTCVM, so visits during the week would be before class and after class. On the weekends, I am open to almost everything that fits your pets schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before taking pets outside and never allow off-leash walks unless they're in a safely enclosed area and you've specifically requested it. I understand that every pet is different. Some love to play and be active, while others simply want companionship and a calm environment. I adjust my care to meet each pet's individual needs and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Communication is also very important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: I was raised caring for cats & dogs and have always had pets in my home. I have been a foster mom for a local animal shelter for the past 11 years. I have cared for young and older pets. My family & friends often reach out to me for assistance with their pets. I am known for my love of dogs. I am good with cleaning up accidents as needed I work from home which allows me time to be with my pets daily. I am their primary caregiver due to my work from home status. I provide all of their care needs. And at times I may have fosters in my home that I care for. I have a fenced in yard for my pets with a doggy door. I am comfortable with crating a pet if it is the pet parents’ preference. I utilize baby gates to limit pets access to areas as a training tool. I have a blind dog & have learned that she needs additional supervision gor her safety.

“Jen is wonderful! We appreciate her coming to play with our dog and she sends updates/pictures throughout her visit. Our pup loves her each time she comes. Thanks Jen!!!”

“Karen is the best! Not only does she take great care of Hobie with lots of pictures but she also was kind enough to take pictures of my chickens even though I didn’t ask her to take care of them. It just proves that she cares a lot about all animals!”

Caitlin P.

“Hayley did an awesome job! After her first drop in visit I knew the dogs were being taken care of and loved. She sat outside with them when the temps were in the teens, she hand fed our picky eater, and gave every dog some loving.”

About: I love dogs; I'm that person that gets really excited and always tries to pet every dog I encounter in life. So I perceive this as a highly enjoyable and also profitable opportunity for myself. I've had dogs almost my entire life, and have been taking care of them about that long. I currently just have one dog, a little white terrier mix I found on the side of the road in Maryville, named Ma-tilt-ta(Tilts). I recently lost my beloved girl, Chloe, a 10-year-old lab pit mix fairly recently, so I'm missing having another pup around the house. Since I'm not quite ready to commit to another furbabe for myself just yet I would love to get some extra quality fluffer time until I make the plunge! It breaks my heart to see an animal cooped up inside for too long so I do my best to accommodate to the fact that dogs need to go out, in my opinion, every 4-5 hours. Let me love your dog when you aren't able to. About me: I am a recent college graduate on a full-time job hunt, with reliable transportation to get wherever I need to go. I have a couple part time jobs, but they are all pretty flexible so I have a pretty open availability until I find something more full time.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog in my care. I treat each dog like family, providing a safe, nurturing environment where they feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. I’m in a season of life where I’m focusing on living intentionally, taking care of myself, and spending more time doing what brings me the most joy—caring for dogs. Being around animals fills my heart, and I love providing them with the attention, comfort, and love they deserve while their families are away. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy a slower, more intentional lifestyle that allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible with the dogs in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I share my life with my 7-year-old Labradoodle, and spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys. We enjoy hiking, visiting the dog park, exploring downtown, and even running everyday errands together. Because every dog is unique, I’m happy to tailor my care to your preferences—whether that means walks in your neighborhood, playtime in a fenced yard, or sticking closely to your dog’s usual routine. I believe great pet care starts with good communication and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾💛

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 have always been able to communicate and interact with animals much easier than i have with people, it comes more naturally to me. The first thing that my closest friends and family say when introducing me to anyone, especially if they have pets, is that i’m great with animals. it fits in perfectly, i work at part time job at a clothing store but my shifts are only typically four hours, and i get off work anytime between 4-6 so right around dinner time. i have an open yard that my dog can roam freely whenever we let her out, she tends to stay within 10 yards of our front doorstep so we do not keep her on a leash. however, should i be taking care of a dog and it does need to be on a leash when being let out, that is no problem at all.

“Naomi is so sweet and helpful!!!!! ❤️”
