1. Shawna D.


“Shawna was incredible! We left our new rescue dog, Jack, with her for a couple of days and I never felt like I had to worry at all for a single minute. She kept me updated about him multiple times a day with texts and pictures which I really appreciated. I was super worried about leaving him since we just rescued him and he has a lot of separation anxiety, but she made me feel super at ease about it. She goes over and beyond to accommodate each pet and make sure they feel comfortable in her home. Not one that but Jack got along great with her two dogs! I’m glad to have found someone I can trust with my pets!”

9. Angela C.

“Wow! ……where to start? This was my first time using Rover in the TN area and she has def set the bar high here. Angela is incredibly responsive to any and all inquiries and was wonderful at sending daily updates with pictures of my baby girl. Athena looked so happy with her own little bed fixed up when I left, but more importantly, she was happy when I came to pick her up! It was easy to see she enjoyed her time there. Can’t say enough about her flexibility of schedule. You can’t go wrong if you are looking for someone to treat your babies like their own. Have already booked a return visit 😊”
