About: I have had animals since I was born, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and loved every single one! I have experience watching neighbors and friends' pets since middle school and I am a college student now. I did a clinical internship at a vet and I am well versed in animal care. Whether that means walking, bathing, medicine administration, grooming, or just cuddles, I'm your girl! :) I have a part time serving job this summer and will be back to being a full time student in the fall. My part time job is very flexible and allows me ample time to check up/watch your pet. I will update my schedule every 2 weeks. I have cared for lots of animals and am able to crate your animal or put them away safely as needed. I also have lots of animal equipment (leashes, crates) on hand if there is any need to transport your pet.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.

Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.

About: Hi everyone, my name is Cameron! I am very familiar with taking care of dogs. My family pups are 11 years old, and I have been learning to care for them since I was 10! Now that they are older, they struggle with both anxiety and physical pain. Because of this, I am comfortable with older dogs, anxious dogs, and giving medication to dogs. I now have a dog of my own who is a 9 month old golden doodle☺️ I am very confident in the puppy stage as I am currently in the thick of it! Being a doodle, my dog is very high energy so that is also something I am comfortable with. As a dog mom myself, there are so few people I would trust for my baby. I want to be a sitter dog parents can trust with their babies! I am currently a student at the university of Tennessee and have a part time job! My schedule varies depending on my work hours, but I am never scheduled for more than 8 hours so I’m very flexible. I care for each dog differently based on the requests of their owner. Every dog has a different routine and different quirks, and the best way to care for them is to ask their direct caretakers!

I also provide regular updates/ pictures so you can feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, and lots of barn cats and dogs! I’ve been a big animal person my whole life which inspired me to go into veterinary medicine in my adult life. I have been in vet med for almost 4 years now, however I am currently not working in it because i’m looking to explore other jobs for myself at the moment. I still would love to have animals in my life while I explore my options and I think Rover is the perfect place for me to do that! Lots of care experience since I have watched some patients for 24+ hours. I can also administer any kind of medication that your fur baby needs while you’re away! I’m currently not working full shifts so I have a ton of availability. I’m hoping for Rover to be a summer gig for me for a while and I can be there when and wherever you need me! I’m currently living with my Mother who has 2 dogs and 2 cats and my own loving cat as well in the household. She is not home super often so I definitely tend to the animals and of course my own sweet girl! I could sit outside all day so potty breaks and walks are a breeze and me and your kiddos can stay outside as long as they want. I’m happy to clean out litter boxes and crates as well.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. I grew up in a family full of pets and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve been helping care for animals since I was a child, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone calm and dependable around, I’m happy to match their routine and needs. I treat every pet like family and always make sure owners feel updated and reassured with communication and photos throughout their stay or visit. My goal is to give your pet a stress-free, loving environment where they feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, which makes me available for evening visits, walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and weekends. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets’ needs and making sure they get plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and lots of love while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured their pets are doing well. If absolutely needed, I may also be able to care for pets in my home. I have plenty of space, a safe neighborhood for walks, and a fenced backyard for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time. However, in-home care at the owner’s house is generally my preferred option so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment.

Misty has been to our house twice and is doing a great job. She communicates well and quickly. She seems to really try to connect with each pet- we have two dogs. She does well with our special needs dog who wears a cone.

About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week. And Saturday and Sundays I’m fully available/flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines that help your pet feel secure and at home. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family 🐾

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a little kid. I would dog sit my neighbors animals when they would go on vacations for full weeks or weekends. I would sometimes stay at their houses overnight or go by a few times a day. It would just depend on what was requested. I work from eight to five Monday through Friday and I have all weekends off!! My schedule is pretty free and flexible throughout the weekend. I live in an apartment complex but I do have a dog park there! I also live right down from Concord park in Farragut where I can go and play and walk them.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and livestock. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past 26 years, I have worked as a special education teacher, which has taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and the importance of creating a calm and supportive environment. I am looking for a fun and rewarding summer part-time opportunity doing something I truly love — spending time with animals. I currently volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines and have also volunteered with local animal shelters over the years. In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family.

About: I am a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As someone who has grown up with and owned dogs, I understand the importance of providing pets with consistent care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for neighbors and teammates, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and maintaining pets’ daily routines. I am comfortable working with both large and small breeds and understand that every dog has unique needs and energy levels. I am currently taking supplemental online courses and am working part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies throughout the day! I live on 3 acres of property, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors under supervision. While the yard is not fenced, I prioritize safety and can keep dogs leashed, closely monitored, or crated when needed. I make sure pets receive daily walks, regular playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For dogs that enjoy being active, I also occasionally take them on hikes to provide additional exercise and enrichment. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and pets with the utmost respect, ensuring pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving attentive care. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
