About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. Growing up, I was surrounded by a wide variety of pets, including dogs, snakes and other animals, which gave me experience with different personalities, care routines, and needs. I currently own a large dog and serval reptiles. I have previously owned small dogs as well, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I am currently a full time student at Middle Tennessee Stste University. This allows me the flexibility to do multiple check ups throughout the day, walk pets as needed, and do house stays so your pet can have the best experience possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any special care requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at Middle Tennessee State University with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This means I am available often for your pets! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
“Cassy is the ABSOLUTE best! I can’t say enough good things about her. We have hired her to dog sit and do drop in visits and have been so blessed to have her look after our animals. She always checks in and takes pictures of our dogs and sends them to us when we’re away. She is an excellent communicator and our dogs LOVE her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their animals.”
“You’ll never find a better pet sitter than Cathy!! She always showed up on time and loved every second with our boy! Shadow loved her and she always gave us the best pictures of him while we were away!❤️”
“Kayla did an excellent job taking care of our kitty while we were away! She was very responsive and always sent lots of pictures and updates during her visits. Our kitty can be a bit shy around new people sometimes, but she always came out to play when Kayla stopped in to feed her and give her love. We will definitely have her back to take care of our girl again!”
“I didn't have to worry about a thing with Lisa taking care of our cats. Lisa stopped by for drop in visits every day. She was on time, communicative and successfully got our one cat to take his meds. I would highly recommend Lisa for pet sitting!”
“Elizabeth was great. My two pets warmed up to her immediately. She was right on time, and she took photos and was even able to get photos of my cat (who usually doesn't like strangers and hides.) I will definitely use her in the future. She made me feel calm about leaving them at home. I didn't want to board them and spend their day in a cage, and it was a great decision.”
“Fran is our favorite! They helped me navigate the app and made this whole process easy. Fran goes above and beyond, which totally put my mind at ease. My spoiled kittens agree.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14 years old! I am a 22 year old recent wildlife graduate who has experience with animal care! 🩷 I love the outdoors, so walks will be a blast with me! I love having surprises for my furry clients (toys, treats, activities, etc.), and I 100% will make sure your little bud will have fun and be thoroughly enriched! I know how to use CPR on small and large dogs and I know how to save most animals from choking. I have a lot of free time right now due to the wildlife career field being a little lackluster at the moment. However, that means I have all the free time in the world to help you with your dog/cat! I always try to sit down or watch the behavior of the pets before I engage in activities or enrichment. I’m a firm believer that every animal has their own personality, thus I have to adapt how I play with them or take care of them. I know most first aid for animals, can help blind animals + deaf animals, and animals with mobility issues. I only feed animals what clients give or tell me! Even though I love offering treats, my treats are only my the permission of owners. I always create a space in my own home if an animal needs to stay with me. That is no trouble! When the activities will be outside, I know just the right places!
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I have 3 family dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I'm comfortable handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, loving environment where they can feel happy and secure. I currently work a part time job, but other than that I have plenty of time to make sure your pets are well taken care of I have experience caring for pets through dog walking and pet sitting. My responsibilities included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when instructed, and ensuring they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners were away. I also followed each owner's care instructions, maintained reliable communication, and treated every pet with patience and compassion.
“Meg is so wonderful and trustworthy, I am so thankful that she has been able to work Maddie and I into her schedule for recurring visits! Maddie has recently experienced some incontinence and has been wearing diapers at home. Meg has been a God-send for daily visits to let Maddie out and change her diaper. I have total peace of mind that she is there to check in, as well as taking special care to keep my cats inside when Maddie goes in and out. I highly recommend her for your fur babies!!”
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
“Adrienne has done several days of drop in visits for us twice. Both experiences were great! She arrived as scheduled kept the boys company and watched out for destructive behavior. When we returned the house was intact and our dogs were much more relaxed having stayed home. The bonus is also I didnt have to give the 3 dogs baths upon returning home. They didn't stick like the overnight kennel! Thanks, Adrienne.”
About: I have taken care and trained 2 of my own dogs. I can handle all sizes and temperaments of dogs and puppy’s. I can feed, walk and play with your pet anytime! I love animals and have a lot of free time this semester. I would love to spend it taking care of animals. I have multiple hours free every day that I can spend walking or staying over watching someone’s pets. I am very thorough about what rules and things you would like me to do or not do with your pet. The pets safety and the owners comfortability are number one to me.
“I requested Marine to check in on my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with her service! From start to finish, the communication was excellent, giving me peace of mind knowing my fur-babes were in great hands. She not only made sure they were well-fed but also took the time to play with them and give cuddles, keeping them happy and entertained. I received regular updates, including multiple photos on each visit! It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be requesting her again! Highly recommended!”
About: I have grown up with animals, and have been pet sitting for friends for years. I have experience with all different kinds of animals as well as all different personalities! I have experience giving topical & oral medications to dogs and cats as well. I currently work five days a week, but I have no problem feeding/walking your pets in the morning and as soon as I get off! I am able to stop by for check-ins or walks, and I am also willing to house sit as well! I am very observant when it comes to pet watching and your animals will be carefully watched over!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
