About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I am currently taking care of pets full time so If I am house/pet sitting for you I will be able to spend the majority of my time there with your pets and giving them the love and attention that they deserve! If you’re needing drop in visits or walks I will be able to accommodate a wide variety of requests at various times. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.
“Ahhhh Hope was so amazing! I booked her on my first time using Rover to do drop ins because my dog has kennel cough. She made everything so easy and really eased my anxiety. Looking forward to booking again!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life! I’ve grown up in a house full of cats but we’ve also always made room for our dogs as well! I think I’m a great pet sitter because i’ve had plenty of experience caring for all animals alike. I’ve sat my aunts turtles and puppies, and my neighbors fish and reptiles. I can’t wait to get to know your babies! I’m currently working at a preschool part time but looking for another position. In the meantime I’d love to explore some of my other passions, one of those being pet care! right now my schedule makes me available anytime and when i do work for the school it’s from 2pm-6pm! All of your babies lives matter to me! I am fully committed to doing anything and everything I can to make sure your little one is safe and taken care of!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a teenager—basically since I realized they’re way better company than most people. 🤣 These days, I’m a full-time pet mom to one dog and four cats, all of whom run my house like a tiny, fur-covered mafia. I’ve worked at two animal shelters, volunteered at several more, and I foster when babies or sick animals need a safe pit stop on the way to their forever homes. I’ve bathed the unbatheable, cuddled the un-cuddlable, and yes, I’ve even cleaned up more mystery fluids than I care to admit. I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and attitudes—from the clingy lap dog to the judgmental senior cat who stares into your soul. Whatever your pet needs—walks, belly rubs, meds, snuggles, weird food routines—I’m here for it. I’m your girl. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll handle it like a pro (with treats in my pocket and fur on my clothes). I work part-time, so my schedule leaves plenty of room for belly rubs, fetch games, and kitty cuddles. Tell me what your pet needs—I’ll make it happen! My dog lives the indoor life—aside from her daily walks, dog park adventures, and the occasional potty break. I'm more than happy to take your pup for a stroll on a leash or play with them in your yard—whatever makes their tail wag!
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I even had some experience with guinea pigs. I know how to take care of puppies, and adult dogs. I know the sign if something is about to happen. I just moved here and am working on getting into college. Pet care seems like a simple way to make some money to save up and learn the city! I feed my dogs on a regular schedule, I put them outside in the morning, before bed and throughout the day when they let me know they need to go. I try to play with my dogs and take them out of the house whenever I get the chance and give them love when we both need it.
“Another great experience with Amanda’s drop ins! She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and working to get our more shy kitties out from hiding to interact since they get sad when we are gone for too long and need lots of attention. We came back early at the last minute as well and she was flexible and worked with us to get the key back, etc.”
About: I've taken care of countless pets of all varieties. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I am incredibly compassionate and patient. I cater to all needs. I've never had a negative experience while watching an animal. And all my clients are totally happy and satisfied with my services. I make my own schedule so I am incredibly open and flexible. I do what ever I can to keep my animals and clients happy. I have a 3 bedroom, 1 story house, big fenced backyard and lots of toys. I have 2 friendly dogs here, who can be kept separate if necessary.
About: Hi, I’m Gwen; I live in South Pittsburg, TN, I’m 58, a US Navy veteran and I have 3 dogs that I adore; 1 dachshund and 2 Chorkie’s. To me, a home isn’t a home without a pet. My dogs are my family and I love spoiling them. My neighbors trust me so much with their Yorkie, that when they go out of town which is at least 2 times a month, they bring their fur baby to me and I keep and care for her as if she were my own pet. Their dog loves my dogs and I so much that my neighbors can’t even say my name because she’ll run to their door wanting to come to my house. I’m a trustworthy person, so your pet and your house will always be safe and cared for by me. Give me a chance and I’ll show your fur babies love and attention and even spoil them if they aren’t already. Fur babies make life so wonderful. I’m semi-retired but am available most anytime to care for your fur babies. Since I do live in South Pittsburg, TN; I do charge $2.00 extra per mile if you’re located outside of my 20 mile radius because of the mileage and gas prices. We can also discuss a base price if that works better for all of us. Thank you for visiting my profile and I do hope we and your fur babies can work together sometime. God Bless!

About: I am different from other sitter because I will take my time and actually play with your dog. Also get to know the dog and see what they like and don’t like. I will go beyond to take care of your dog. I am free the rest of the summer. The only thing I do have is softball I play one game in the morning till July 13 but that’s it. I have a fenced in backyard with to friendly english bulldogs. They love dogs and are very nice. Also I will go pretty much anywhere to a clients home and make sure the dog is okay.

In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space with plenty of attention and affection. When I’m in yours, I treat it with the same care and respect. I keep you updated every step of the way, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve had pets since I was 25 (a lonnnnnng time ago). I’m one of those pet moms who makes their own dog food for my dogs and lets them sleep on the bed. And I’d love to walk your pets or drop in and feed them for you. I’m retired and have time just about every day. Need someone to check in or walk your pets while you’re at work? I’m available to help. I will follow whatever you require for your pets. I will bring my own treats if your want or use yours. Safely walk them for as long as you need (well anything over 5 miles is out—I’m 55 after all)
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats. I love taking them for walks, the park or helping them learn to swim. I know the importance of giving dogs medications and taking them to appointments. I also keep dogs well groomed while I watch them I currently work full time 5 days a week but but will spend all my free time taking care of your pets. I will check on them throughout the day during work if needed I live in an apartment that has 1 bedroom. The apartment complex does allow animals. I have ring cameras in my place and outside my place to make sure I’m always able to see if my home and the animals are safe

Tiffani m.
“Tiffani is probably the best pet sitter I've ever gotten by far. My dog Angus can be quite shy around strangers, but he opened up to her so quickly. There was absolutely no issues during my time away and she even mentioned that he started to lay and push on her which Angus rarely ever does to new people. I've had her back to watch him 5 or 6 more times since then and I have nothing but praise for the care she puts in for my furry guy. 5 stars all the way around!”
Leslie F.
“I don't think I have ever seen someone that loves animals as much as Leslie. She has a heart of gold when it comes to animal's. Leslie loves to play and be affectionate with them. I have seen her foster pets and take care of someone else's dog because her friend couldn't take him where they were moving. She would be a excellent dog walker or sitter for someone. Thank you”
