“David and Leslie were awesome! They treated my Callie like their own and sent me updates regularly with pictures. She seemed very comfortable with both of them and got along well with their sweet dog.”
“Robin is amazing, she is super sweet and will work with you to take care of your fur babies how ever you need… she treated my 3 babies like they were her own when I had to take a 3 day business trip clear across the state. My babies were very happy with Robin, but were very happy to see mom come back home!!! Thanks Robin for all you did for us! We will use you again!!!”
“Charlie had a great time! Leaving him at home with a sitter caused him anxiety--he didn't want to be left alone and would stop eating. Instead, he stayed in a pet-friendly environment with 2 other dogs, and a couple cats. Stefanie was very responsive to my concerns about Charlie.”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”
“Frank was GREAT! He provided loving care to Willa. She was happy and spoiled when we returned, just like we wanted. Frank kept in touch with pictures and texts. He is reliable and left my house clean. I never had a moment's worry while I was away.”
About: I’ve had every type of pet under the sun from dogs to cats to reptiles and love them all the same. Very experienced with all breeds and able to handle very large dogs / gentle with very small kittys. I am available 24/7 to meet the needs of our best friends. I treat animals like kids they deserve the world. Willing to help anytime. I live in a house with a decently large back yard, 2 dogs and 1 cat but enough space to keep animals separated if yours don’t get along with others. Easy paved walk or a simple mountain trail close If your dog requires more intense walks.
About: I have had four plus fur babies as a part of my family for 35+ years ! I love them all as their individual personalities and needs as if they are my own ! They will always be safe, they will always be loved both individually and as a group ! I have trained my own my furry babies over the years ! They were all loving and accepting of all creatures and my babies were little ones ! The little ones get branded not so good but I see the best in them all and attend to their individual needs when they come into my home they become a member of my family and receive the love and attention they need !!! I am retired, therefore I am available 24/7 . I have the priveleage of being home to ensure that each sweetie that comes into my home is attended to both with love and any care they will require anywhere from young puppy to our senior babies who will require more attention in regards to medicine massages for their joints and simply love I have a fenced yard to accommodate small dogs I have one myself who is 7lbs. She is friendly to all new guests! And when I take her out to either potty or to just get free run exercise in my yard I stay with her. I do not leave her outside unattended for not even one second I interact and engage with her both indoors and outdoors with play and love !
About: Hi! I am Lauren Elizabeth. I spent 8+ years as a Veterinary Technician before moving into Animal Training & Behavior. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with the CCPDT and a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I am also an AKC Evaluator. We have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood, Tennessee - and I spend most of my days every day here (who wouldn’t?) I am educated, experienced, compassionate and have a strong background in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Training & Behavior, allowing me to provide a cozy, enriching, and nurturing environment for your pets! I am a Dog Trainer and work from home. I am always here. I have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood and only have a select number of pets at any given time so every single one can get the time and individual attention they absolutely deserve! As a Trainer myself, I place a strong emphasis on doing everything with a “training” mentality - and bettering the lives of the animals in my care. We do a lot of walks, enriching games and mini training sessions, and even do meal times out of fun puzzle feeders and foraging toys! I want pets to look forward to coming here and owners to be able to really relax and enjoy their vacations! ☀️ Safety is a huge priority! This is why I only have a select number of pets in my care at any given time. I want to make sure every pet receives dedicated time and attention. I only walk on-leash or provide potty breaks in supervised, fenced areas (some exceptions for pets in training with me). I do lots of fun and exciting games and am always looking for ways to make the day more exciting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Murphy home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Murphy.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Murphy sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
