About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of compassion, responsibility and trust when caring for pets. I volunteered for 10 years fostering lost and or abandoned pets. Fostering gave me valuable experience of understanding routines, medication instructions, providing companionship and attention to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take pride in being responsible and trustworthy. Pets are safe, cared for and treated like family. Available full time! Retired, no children. Neighborhood park within walking distance. Feeding schedules and medication instructions followed. Photos of your pet provided during your absence.i do not use crates unless the owner request one to be used. Pets are allowed on the furniture so let me know if you do not allow them at your home. Dog beds are provided unless you prefer your own. Feel free to bring a personal article of your clothing if your dog has separation anxiety or a thunder shirt. Fenced yard. Child free home. Crate provided if requested by the owner. Retired, now spending the next chapter of my life doing something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about-caring for animals. Fresh water provided all day. I keep dogs on feeding schedules as provided.

“Mike was absolutely amazing with my pup Goldie. He was extremely accommodating to her needs, she has allergies and Mike administered her medication while she was in his care which is no easy task.

“We recently boarded our two dogs, Sushi and Trixie, with Grayson for 10 days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Grayson was sincere, friendly, and incredibly easy to communicate with. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. Throughout their stay, Grayson sent us regular updates and adorable pictures, which truly reassured us. Sushi and Trixie looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for every time. When we picked them up, they were calm and content, which says a lot about the care and attention they received. We’re so grateful to have found someone as reliable and kind as Grayson. We’ll definitely be using his services again the next time we’re out of town, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog care!”

We had to go out of town and needed someone to watch our 2 month old puppy Ron and Josef and her family made us feel so comfortable being able to trust her with our baby!! We got the sweetest pictures and videos of him playing with her cute pup Lulo and lots of feedback on how he was doing while we were away. We will definitely be using Josef in the future for any of our puppy needs and highly recommend her!! Thank you again for loving and caring for our baby! 💕
Titeara is a true animal lover. She spoils us with daily pictures throughout the day and Ciara loves the multiple walks and treats. She loves hanging with the top dog in charge, Molly. Titeara is my go-to for every occasion that requires us to house Ciara. Thank you so much.
Jessie was great with our dog Joy. She sent pictures, short videos and updates to let us know how Joy was doing. Jessie was patient and kind to our Joy who was anxious about her first time with a sitter. We are very grateful to Jessie who took extra time and care of our fur baby.
We love Amy and her family so much! Amy is always accommodating to our families every changing schedule without any fuss. She is very responsive and sends us lots of daily pictures of our pup having the time of his life at their home. I love being able to travel while being assured my pup is being loved and cared for by Amy 🤎

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
