“Tracy was just amazing!!! I received a very detailed report daily with pictures of all our cats. She truly helped to take away the anxiety of being on vacation and worrying about our babies. She played with them and loved on them also. The one thing that really stood out to us was the fact the one cat, Inky, took up with her day one...Inky likes no one so the fact she trusted Tracy immediately set ud at ease.Highly recommended and will be using Tracy in the future.”


“Sarah has to be the best sitter I’ve had yet! She is great with my puppy and she is always very accommodating when she can be. She also communicates clearly about anything that may be going on. Thanks for all that you do Sarah!”

I have a large, fenced & level back yard. 24/7 access is through a doggie door off the sunroom. I am a recent pet widow so your pet will have my full attention in my home.

“Haley was outstanding on her care for our furry child. From the moment she met our dog she knew how to handle her, since she is a very nervous and protective dog. Haley asked many questions to provide the right care for our dog while we were away, and was very great following instructions for the care of our dog. It was the first time we left our dog behind on a family vacation trip, and we were very anxious about how to get the right care for her. Haley did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend Haley's dog care services and we will count on Haley to care of our dog for our future family trips.”


“Karen always takes great care of my (sick and complicated) cat. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious. She even suggested a great solution when her schedule precluded her covering part of an upcoming trip.”


“Stephanie wow, she has such a beautiful energy, my puppy baby onyx fell in love with her instantly! Stephanie is kind, easygoing, hardworking, and very professional! I truly appreciate her excellent way of communicating and notifying me about her visits. So grateful.”


“Emma was amazing!!!! She is so sweet and responsive and my cat Maisy LOVED her!! She took the best photos and sent me so many each time!! I am having her come back in a few weeks when I am on vacation again!!”


“Rebecca was a life saver when we needed a last minute sitter for our furry girl. She went above and beyond and took her on walks for her drop in visits and spent time petting both our dog and our cat.”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I enjoy training commands and just spending time and playing with all animals in general. Each animal has their own personality and quirks and I love to discover that makes each animal unique. I currently work full time and am a dog mama of 2(11 years old and 6 years old) I have free time on evenings and weekends to care for your pals. I care for pets with the upmost care and respect towards the animals and their owners. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as the same.

About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student doing rover part time during the summer and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Monday every week for two hours and an animal shelter with kitties for two hours every Thursday evening. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

About: My family had dogs throughout my childhood, and I was helping take care of them as early as 10 years old. I have had many dogs throughout my adult life as well, including raising and training puppies (of some notoriously stubborn breeds I might add!). I raised my last dog from the time he was 6 weeks old. I also have plenty experience administering medicine, including giving insulin shots. Dogs and other animals can generally sense my loving vibe and feel comfortable around me right away. I work remote from home, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I also have very few commitments outside of work, besides some volunteering and yoga once a week. I will treat your pet with love and respect as if it were my own. I'm happy to accommodate any of your pets' needs and personality types. Energetic young buck? Let's play fetch or go for a run. Nervous Nellie? I'm here to comfort and soothe you with belly rubs for days. Attention craver? I'm all yours, show me that awesome toy again.

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was a baby. My family was big in showing and grooming so I’ve always taken care of family/neighbors dogs when then would be away. I love to spend time and play with and care for them! I used to volunteer at a humane society feeding animals and cleaning cages and taking them out for playtime I am a junior in college at Middle Tennessee State university and have a fairly open schedule. I will not be able to stay all day at a house but nights are definitely possible! I do live in an apartment so overnight boarding will not be offered, but my cat loves exploring the house and has so much fun!

“So happy that I chose Jolie to watch our cats while we were away for the holidays. I didn’t worry about them at all because she would always send me photos and detailed updates about them. I would love to book her again! You can really tell how much she loves and respects animals.”


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. My pet is animal reactive so she has to be kept on a leash when taken out to go potty. She eats 1 cup in the AM and PM

“Louisa has been helping out with my dogs for a couple months now and she has taken excellent care of them when I am at work or out of town. My dogs loves her and she makes sure they get the attention they need. My dogs are my world and she treats them with the same love and care! I will continue to use Louisa and highly recommend her to anyone in need!”


“This being the first time I have used Rover, I was a little nervous and anxious. Storm was very reassuring and comforting that everything was going to be okay. I am so happy that I chose her for my Kash Kitty. She was very attentive to his needs. She provided me with numerous pictures everyday which eased my nervousness. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again for sure.”


About: I’ve always loved animals and have been trusted with taking care of them since I was very young. I can provide a friendly face for your animal and be someone you can rely on. I am currently a local college student in my last semester, so I have plenty of availability! I volunteer frequently in Dayton with the rest of my free time. I have plenty of experience watching over peoples homes and taking care of their pets. I am extremely responsible, punctual, and easy to get a hold of when needed.
