“As usual amazing service and attentiveness. Thank you for all the updates and pics! Always feel like my kitty is in good hands when Kearsten is there.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa and all she did to take care of my 3 cats while I was out of the country for over 2 weeks. Not only did she send daily photos, she sent very thorough Rover cards which really helped comfort me in knowing my kitties were being well cared for. She went above and beyond and is the only sitter I have ever had in about 7 years that has been able to coax my particularly scared kitty with a neurological disorder out- he wanted pets and attention from her which was just remarkable. I will absolutely work with Melissa again and highly recommend anyone to her! All the stars!”
“Wonderful drop in for our Sango. Played with him in the yard and was attentive and responsible. Definitely will have her care for our pup again!”
“Alora was amazing!! We hired her short notice and she was so flexible. Our animals were very well taken care of. She kept in contact with us the entire 2 weeks we were gone. I will certainly be hiring her again. I would recommend that you hire her to care for your fur babies!!”

“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I have been loving other people's animals my whole life and been a sitter for about 3 years now! I always strive to make your precious loved ones feel as comfortable as can be! You will get daily pics and videos so you can rest easy while away. Young or old, I will treat your fur baby with all the love I can muster. I work full time as a Physical Therapist Assistant with my off days being Tuesdays and Saturdays, however I'm available any day after work and all day on my off days. Depending on distance from work, I can also go on my lunch break! I guarantee at least one 30 minute evening walk on days that I work and two 30 minute walks (morning and evening) on days that I am off. I have experience giving pets medications both orally and injections! I also like to meet the animals with the owners present prior to departure to ensure the animal is comfortable around me.
“Phillip took great care of my cat including giving her medication twice daily while I was out of town. His visits and updates were timely and my cat was happy!”
“Jessica took great care of my cat, Cujo. She followed my instructions for his care and was very communicative. I definitely recommend her and will book in the future.”
“Meagan is so attentive and gives great communication. She went above and beyond over the holidays to make sure our dogs were happy, walked and well-fed. She really got to know our pups and I could tell she appreciated their unique little personalities - which is exactly what you hope for when you have to leave the fur babes. Thank you Meagan!”
About: I have house sat and pet sat for many years and I love being able to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for your pet. I can take your pet on walks, give lots of love and snuggles, and take care of your house as needed. No pet is too big or too small for me! I work Mon-Fri in downtown Chattanooga, but I am able to take an hour lunch break at any time to take pets on walks/feed etc. My house is pet free, and I have a fenced in back yard for your pet to run around and play in! I feel comfortable staying in your home as well and have provided that service for many years.
About: I’ve helped train and take care of my animals since I was 6 teachings dogs to sit and play fetch, remember to feed them when I was alone, I’ll play with any dog i see, old or a new puppy 200lb or 5lb i love all animals I an currently working part time I normally work 4-9 on 3-4 days a week any other time I will help your furry friends anytime! I can keep animals calm and happy while keeping the house clean, making sure they go to the bathroom outside, making sure they are feed and taking them on as many walks as possible helping train them to stay focused on only the walker!
About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I just moved to the area and I am between jobs, I have 4 years experience as a plumber but maybe I’ll be a career pet sitter for now. So aside from other potential clients and my own animals I will make time for your pets. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.

Carley C.
“I’m happy to recommend Carley as a reliable and caring pet sitter. She has looked after our dog and three cats on multiple occasions, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care she provides. Carley is trustworthy, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Our pets warmed up to her right away, and she handled their different needs—feeding, walks, and plenty of affection—with attention to detail. We always felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands while we were away. If you want, and she'll ask you first, she'll send you photos of them and they always looked happy. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and experienced with animals, I highly recommend Carley.”
