Dog Sitting Heiskell

About: I have hands on experience working with animals and been around dogs my entire life! I’m confident in handling all types of personalities in animals. I’ve also helped in basic training with dogs. I have been a volunteer at oak ridge animal shelter in the past and also assisted k9 training here in Clinton, Tn. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and at home in good hands. I have taught my own dog how to sit, roll over, jump through my arms, speak, sit pretty, and spin I am still working on more commands. I would like to become a dog trainer in the future and have always loved dogs! I’m currently a nanny for a 4 year old who goes to school Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 am- 1:00pm. I pickup and drop off so i would have plenty of time throughout the day to stop by and care for your animal! I will follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and are stress free. In a clients home I will make sure to respect their space and follow all instructions. I can provide updates and pictures of your pets throughout the day as needed! If we are going on a walk I will make sure to keep them safe as if they were my own.

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: Hey y'all! I have a love for animals and I'm looking for pets to hang out with and care for while I'm in school and working a full time job. I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license with Penn Foster. Luckily, it's a strictly online school! I'm also a full-time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. Friends and family have always considered me very trustworthy with their pets since I was young! I can't remember a time when I didn't love animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years for my family and parents' coworkers, but I thought I would step it up and try Rover! I currently work at an animal hospital and I previously worked at a doggy daycare. All of this while also being in school to get my license! These experiences have helped me gain important skills and qualifications to take care of any pet! Some of the skills that make me qualified include: -Giving oral medication -Injectable medication -Senior dog experience -First Aid -Bathing -Walking -Providing boarding care (keeping up with food, water, and playtime) -and of course I'm experienced with providing a whole lotta love! I'm currently working around 32-36 hours a week at an animal hospital, which means I work long hours occasionally, but I will still make plenty of time to stay with your fur babies and watch over them before and after work. I make sure to provide as much social and/or physical playtime for your pets when I am taking care of them! Since I do work long hours this would mean I can drive over during my lunch break to prove the proper care.

“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.”

“Our dog was well fed and given lots of love and attention by Peggy!”

“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.”

Peter T.

“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.”

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!

“Thank you for taking care of my babies”

“Amazing! She was absolutely awesome. Highly recommend Lauren as she is someone who loves all pets. Went above and beyond and got our dog medication while we were away. Will definitely be using her again on our future trips. Pets were super happy when we returned and really loved everything she did while we were away!”

Cody S.

“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!!!”

Raegan G.

“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”

About: Hi! I offer an in-home boarding experience set on a beautiful 9-acre horse farm, designed to provide a fun, safe, and enriching stay for your furry family members. With a tropical theme and a cozy, home-like atmosphere, we ensure that every dog feels comfortable and loved during their visit. Our home features four spacious 6’x4’ kennels equipped with luxury cots, along with a large fenced-in dog area for plenty of off-leash fun. During the day, dogs enjoy lounging in our home, socializing, and engaging in enrichment activities such as Kongs, lick mats, splash pads, and bubble play. At night, they rest in their spacious kennels unless special accommodations are needed for non-crate-trained dogs. We often have multiple guests at a time, so your dog will have the chance to make new friends during their stay. With a background as an animal health technician and hands-on experience managing our farm, I have extensive knowledge in animal care and well-being. I work a remote job, allowing me to be home most of the day. However, I do leave for a few hours each day, and occasionally, we may be gone for a full day for family outings. During these times, dogs stay comfortable and secure in their kennels with access to enrichment activities. With personalized care, ample playtime, and a stress-free environment, our home is the perfect retreat for your pup while you’re away! **we do leave the house for family events , outings and errands. We may be gone for full days on weekends to our children's events, games, sporting games appointments** I work mostly from home. Dogs are welcome to play outside on our fenced farm or hang out with me while I work! Dogs are supervised outside at all times. We provide areas to separate dogs if needed, we have extra kennels as well. We send pictures and videos and you're welcome to call/message to check in on your pet at anytime.

About: I have experience with purebreds and mutts. I have had dogs from 55-100lbs. I love dogs of all sizes, colors, and breeds. Big shedder, no problem. I wear dog hair like it’s glitter. I love dogs more than most humans. I will treat your dog as you instruct. I’m willing to adhere to training and discipline preferences. I will do my best to keep your dog as close to their regular routine as possible. I’m always eager to learn new training and discipline techniques. I love getting to know the quirks of different breeds. I also love learning how fun mixed breeds can look and behave. Your dog will definitely get plenty of love and petting from me. My dog is truly my best friend and I will treat yours the same. I work full-time but am usually home by 5:30 during the week. I am available most weekends and will make spending time with your dog a priority. I have a partially fenced yard and do not let my dog out without a tie out or me present with her. I am also comfortable with shock collar training and have a wireless fence for my dog.

“Jeanie was so good with my pets! I asked her to do two drop-ins per day while I was away. She did everything that was needed for my dogs and sent me really great pictures of my dogs, which made me feel confident that they were taken good care of while I was gone.”

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a little kid. I would dog sit my neighbors animals when they would go on vacations for full weeks or weekends. I would sometimes stay at their houses overnight or go by a few times a day. It would just depend on what was requested. I work from eight to five Monday through Friday and I have all weekends off!! My schedule is pretty free and flexible throughout the weekend. I live in an apartment complex but I do have a dog park there! I also live right down from Concord park in Farragut where I can go and play and walk them.

“Madison was great and watched after our puppy with exceptional care!”

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: I have had animals my entire life, I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have small and extra large dogs so I know the care that each size group requires. All of my pet owning friends come to me for medical and training advice. I am also always the first person they come to when they need someone to take care of their beloved pets. I can follow strict regimens regarding food, brushing, bathing, medicine etc. I have almost full availability as I am a Teacher through the school year and off through the summer time. I am a morning person so I have no problem scheduling something early, and love an evening walk when the sun starts to go down as well. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own so animal care is already part of my daily routine! I have a reliable vehicle to take me to and from your house, as well as a love for exercise for walking your dogs! You and your animals experience with a walker/sitter is my top priority. I understand the fear of being unable to find someone trustworthy to watch your pets, having some of my own. I have a large fenced in yard and still make time to take all 3 dogs on walks to give them the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy.
