“Chrissy was incredible! I was anxious about leaving my cat, especially because she’s skittish around people, but Chrissy went above and beyond to stay on contact with me and was so good with my cat. She’s wonderful!”


“We'll, Elizabeth is just the best! There are not enough superlatives to describe her. Trustworthy, caring, detail oriented, and compassionate. She took care of our puppy as if she were her own. We're prepared to use her over and over again.”


“Jennifer was very helpful and flexible with our situation. Our pups were happy when we got home and we had peace of mind knowing they were cared for. Thank you Jennifer! We will reach out to you again when we are in the area!”



“Connie really pays attention to details and provided me an update and pictures on each of her visits. I would definitely recommend her and will be rebooking again soon!”


“Ellie was very nice and arrived punctual on her initial visit to meet my cat Sinbad before the cat sitting was to begin. Though my cat tends to be skittish with most strangers, she knew to be quiet and not make sudden movements to make him feel at ease. And during her visits, he came out and didn't stay hidden, so he must have felt comfortable with her around. And most importantly, Ellie took the initiative to set up a follow up visit to return my house key to me after I had returned from my trip. I would definitely book Ellie again if she is available on any of my future trips away.”


“Dominique is the best!!!!!!! We literally booked her last minute before going out of the country. We love her and most important of all my both doggies love her!!!! She has been such a great help and we will always keep her in mind for the future!!!!”


“I had never used rover before and was desperate for a dog sitter, and l definitely lucked out with Judy! She was great with my dog, going above and beyond for her and sent plenty of updates. I knew my dog was in good hands!”


“Valerie was wonderful! The app shows she was timely and she sent updates as well as the cutest pics of them enjoying their time together. We will definitely book with Valerie again.”


“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”


About: Hi! I'm Jack, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I’ve spent years understanding what each pup needs to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your dog peace of mind. With me, your furry friend is in experienced, loving hands. I have a non traditional work schedule that affords me lots of free time at times that 9-5 workers are traditionally most busy. I am also available on weekends and most holidays. I won’t be caretaking for pets at my own home at this time but would be happy to care for any pets in their own home. I’m very respectful and will make sure to keep your home as I would my own.

“Kristine did an amazing job taking care of my challenging Homestead! we went away for one week and came back to healthy animals and well cared for gardens. We are so grateful for Kristine‘s careful attention to our beloved pets and garden.”


“Megan was wonderful w/our dog! We enjoyed getting pics everyday and it was a great relief to know she was checking in on him. The whole process through Rover was streamlined and easy! We will continue to be a customer, thank you very much!”

About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I work from home so I am around all day to take the dogs for walks and keep them company. I have flexibility in my schedule. We have one dog currently that can keep your dog company and I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.

About: As a dog lover with experience in training and raising my own during quarantine, I would make sure your pet gets the specialized attention they need. I'm also available on short term notice and can work with your schedule to ensure your dog gets the care they need. Im currently completing my graduate degree at Vanderbilt University this summer online. I have class at 2-3:30 on Tuesdays, but for projects I can make my own schedule for those so I am generally flexible! I would treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. Whether it be long walks, playing time, early mornings or late nights, I would make sure they feel safe and comfortable wherever they may be. I am also happy to provide any additional care or attention they need.

“We were very grateful that Cindy was able to check in on our little guy. He was very shy and hung out under the couch, but Cindy brought him some treats so he would finally come out and say hi. We loved the photos she sent us. Mr. Darcy finally let her take him out on a little walk. They did some sunbathing together which is one of Mr. Darcy's favorite things to do. We would definitely use Cindy again. It was a vary last minute booking, and thanks to Cindy we were able to leave on an emergency visit. We are very thankful.”
