About: I have had pets since I was born. I currently live with four dogs and two cats and help take care of them. I can walk dogs on short and long walks. I can house sit any pets or check in as needed. I have a cat of my own named Clementine. She is an affectionate two year old who loves to play. My sister has a cat of her own named Ace. She is six and prefers her space. She will find you when she wants attention or wants to play. My parents have four dogs. The oldest is Ripley at eleven years old. She loves affection and to cuddle. Penny is a Westie mix who is eight years old. She is a sassy dog who will wrestle her way into getting love. Her brother, Balin, is an eight year old German Shepherd. When he is not barking at one of the neighbors walking on the sidewalk, he loves to play ball or play with his sisters. The youngest dog is Artemis. She is a two year old German Shepherd who cannot stop moving. She loves to play and be outside for as long as she can. I work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I give pets amble opportunity before I go to work to use the bathroom, eat, and stretch their legs before I leave. When I get back I take the pets out immediately and feed them when scheduled. If I do leave the house, I try not to be gone for more than 4-6 hours. I can follow all of the instructions to the letter. I understand everyone has preferences how their pet is taken care of. I would love to know any quirks or routines your pets may have. I like to update after every visit. For house sitting, I will send photos and an update in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I can provide more updates if desired.

About: Ive taken care of animals my entire life and have grown up around dogs. I currently have two high energy dogs that constantly need play and attention. I’m able to walk, play, cuddle, and keep your pup company throughout the day or multiple times a day. My goal is to make every pet owner feel as if their pups are safe and cared for. I’m currently working part time and out of school for the summer so I will have plenty of time for your puppies and I will be able to give them lots of love. I am available from 6am - 5pm for walks, sitting, and playtimes throughout the week. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of playing room for your pups as well as a car to take your pup on many walks. I also have no problem with making myself at home with your puppies even if it’s just to cuddle or play.

“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”

“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life I’m an expert but I definitely understand everything when it comes to their feeding schedules, them getting used to new people and potty breaks! i’m very patient and i experience different animal personalities every week due to the amount of pets around me when it comes to my family and friends im currently working part time so if scheduled at least a week in advance i’ll have plenty time to take pets on walks or just pet sit! im also currently working towards being able to do boarding bc i do live with my whole family and i also have a cat. Due to the fact that I myself have a kitten i’m extremely versed in simply taking care of a pet, their habits and behavior.

“April is seriously the sweetest. She helped us out with a last-minute work trip and still showed up with so much care even while going through a hard time herself. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate her and would 100% love working with her again. 💛”

“I’ve lost count of how many times Aubrianna has taken care of our pups and she’s always the best! We come home to happy boys and a clean house every time. Her communication is perfect and she’s always reliable!”

“We have decided to call Sierra the dog whisperer. We arrived home to a calm puppy, clean house and relaxed kitties. Sierra was/is great with our fur babies and especially our crazy doodle. We plan to use her whenever we need a sitter.”

“Chelsea D. Was super easy to talk to. She offered a meet and greet. That was perfect, she spent time to get to know the doggies and their needs. She arrived early on the day she set for our fur babies, that relieved us from stress. She’s a natural with pets with separation anxiety! When we arrived back home our one lil man that has separation anxiety showed no signs of stress, that was so comforting to us. The other two were very happy also. Looks like all 3 have a new friend. We will most definitely use Chelsea D. again! Thank you for sitting our babies!”

“Gabriel did a great job taking care of our dog, Lexi. He was responsible, attentive, and made sure to meet her specific needs. We could tell she was well cared for while we were away, and that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have experience with numerous kinds of dogs and cats, of all ages and demeanors. I have housesat and pet sat since I was in High School, and can help look after your plant babies as well. I also have Volunteer experience at my local dog shelter, so I know how to deal with dogs in high stress environments. I do work afternoons on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, but even then, I am free beforehand and am always back before dinner time. I will prioritize your pet and can offer to go over multiple times a day, and I’m free the whole day when I don’t have work! I prefer to care for pets in clients homes since they are more used to their environment and because I have roommates at my home.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8. For the last 7 years I have taken care of my neighbors pets, cat and/or dog. I would be more than happy to take care of yours! I am a college student home for the summer, I am not working and always home so I am always available for taking care of your pets as if they were my own! I have a deck, plenty of open space near my house for your pets to run around, I also have a dog who is friendly and would love to keep yours company.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personal experience with animals and the genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve spent 20 years raising and caring for pets of my own—including energetic puppies, strong-willed adult dogs, and sweet senior pets who needed a little extra help. Because of that, I understand that each animal has its own personality, routines, and needs, and I adapt my care to match. I’ve helped house-train puppies, supported older dogs with mobility issues, administered medications, and comforted anxious pets with patience and affection. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and I communicate openly with pet owners so they always feel informed and reassured. More than anything, I know how important it is to feel that your pet is in safe, loving hands. I treat every animal like my own—with kindness, attention, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to help pets feel happy and at home while you’re away. I am currently on summer break from graduate school at UT so I have plenty of time to attentively care for your dog and cat. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routine to keep your dog or cat comfortable and stress-free. I handle feedings, walks, playtime, medications, and litter box or yard clean-up with care and attention. Whether it’s energetic play or quiet companionship, I adapt to your pet’s needs while keeping your home clean and secure.

“Jaymie was wonderful. She is very loving and caring for my dog. I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting a reliable caring pet sitter.”

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.

“Dustin is hands down the best and a perfect fit for my nugget! I have used a few sitters off of Rover but none of them were the right fit! When I am away my pup tends to give everyone a run for their money. She was completely comfortable with Dustin and there were no behavioral issues in my absence! Plus he provided a perfect level of communication and pictures! I will only use his services in the future!”
