“Christopher was so great with Bruce and Lucy. He helped us out with such short notice and made this trip free of stress. We will definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.”


About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
About: I have always had pets growing up, and have taken care of countless pets of all species, breeds, ages, and sizes for friends/family since high school. I love the challenge of winning over an animal that is hesitant around new people. The more stubborn they are to warm up to new people, the harder I try to win them over. But it is always at their pace and on their terms so that they are completely comfortable with me. Your pets will be loved and spoiled like they are my own. I am available during the nights for in-home pet sitting, with the option to pop in during the day to let your pet out and for feedings. When I care for pets in their own home I make sure that the pet owners show me where everything is located within the home for the animals, and leave emergency numbers such as vets in an accessible place in the case of emergency. I will take as much time with your pets as they need in order to be comfortable and well provided for.
“Elmira did an excellent job caring for my kitten. She was respectful of my space, took great pics of him, played with him even at his feistiest, and was willing to trouble shoot issues with my auto litterbox. Would definitely recommend her to sit your babies!”

About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs and cats of my friends and families I try to make genuine connections with animals in hopes that they will remember me This is the only kind of job I have at the moment so i will be extreme available to take care of your pets at any time I am an active individual so i like long walks, If i’m watching pets I like to actually engage with the animal if they are playful and if they aren’t I will also respect that
“Ashlee has been helping me with a fearful pup for weeks know. She comes to my home 4 days a week and my baby girl is absolutely in love with her. She is great at providing updates and honest feedback about my girl. If you are looking for a calm, patient and loving sitter, Ashlee is your girl.”

About: Luxury boutique pet sitting for when you are traveling or busy and your best furry friends need all the snuggling, playing & running they can get! Like an Airbnb for you dog (or cat or fish or chinchilla). I am available most of the time during the week and all the time on the weekends. I have a flexible schedule and can customize to meet your needs. I have a triple-fenced yard complete with a dog run and a pen for small dogs to have their own private area, tons of space, private living quarters with private entrance and lots of flexibility to make your travel stress-free.
“Olivia responded super fast to an emergency request where our dog Marley had broken out of our outdoor run while we had to drive out of town and would not be back until after 9pm. Olivia did a drop in visit and was able to get Marley and put her up for me in the dark of the night at a moments notice! Truly a LIFESAVER!! Cannot thank her enough!”

About: I pride myself on going far beyond the bare minimum. I’m detail-oriented and take notes during the initial meeting, so I know EXACTLY how to take care of your fur-baby! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and even cattle, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. My goal is to give your pets the same level of attention and love they’d get from you, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my life, and I build my schedule around making sure animals get the attention they need. I’m open to overnight stays, which means I can be there for morning feedings, walks, or snuggles before work, and then return in the evenings for dinner, playtime, or bedtime routines. I’m also available most weekends, and I don’t mind spending my days off keeping your pets happy and cared for. Whether it’s early mornings or late nights, , I’m committed to fitting their needs into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the detailed notes I take during our initial visit so I can keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’m flexible with my schedule—whether that means staying overnight or making visits at specific times of day to match their needs. I’m experienced with giving medicine, caring for both energetic young pets and seniors who need extra patience, and making sure they get the right amount of exercise. I also handle cleanup, from litter boxes to accidents, so your home stays tidy while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just as if you were there yourself.
About: I love pets of all kinds—especially dogs and cats—and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety are always my top priorities. I work independently, which allows me to be flexible and responsive with scheduling. I’m dependable, punctual, and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. The basics are always priority one: making sure your pet is fed, comfortable, and taken out as needed. From there, we play and engage at their pace. My goal is to keep your pet happy and relaxed—so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
About: I was born and raised around pets which include your typical farm animals as well! I have always had dogs, cats, birds and even fishes! I hold my animals dear to my heart! I will take care of your animals like they are my own! I have a soft spot for Dogs and Cats. I don’t mind walking dogs but it’s more than likely your dog will be walking me! I love playing with animals, it makes me happy and the animal as well! If you need to ask me questions, feel free! And I’m looking forward to meeting your animal(s)! I work as a Pharmacy Technician, but I have free time to take care of your animals! Let me know what you are looking for and I can let you know if I’m available! Maggie Mae is my pride and joy. She’s a very lazy English bulldog that needs more care than the average dog. I will take care of your fur babies like their my own!
About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.
