“Sure! Here’s a concise and positive review you can leave for your Rover dog sitter: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ysalys was fantastic! Super communicative throughout the entire stay—kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book again!”


“Chloe stayed with our pups overnight through a weekend away and did a great job at keeping me updated on the dogs and sending photos. Would not hesitate to ask Chloe to stay with our dogs again.”


“Emery did an amazing job looking after my 2 dogs and my house when I had to take a last-minute work trip. They each have very different needs/temperaments but Emery did a wonderful job attending to them both. She even left them custom-made REPORT CARDS that are now pinned to my fridge. 10/10, highly recommend, will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Kiersten is an accomplished young woman with a gift caring for animals. I have a skittish rescue cat who thrived under Kiersten's care. I would have her take care of Scooter again and highly recommend her to others”


About: I have been caring for other people’s animals since I was a teenager and have been around all types since I was very young. From dogs to cats to ferrets to fish, I have cared for them all! Young or old or even a little special, I’ll treat them all as my own ♥️ My schedule has recently opened up quite a bit so I can provide more care for my current and new pet owners. I have two cats of my own that I take care of and divide my time during the week between them and my other pet sitting critters. I’m more than happy to stay with pets in the home for an extended amount of time or even just to check in and play with them ♥️ I normally will go to the client’s home and care for their fur babies there. I often will ask them to provide a list of details on what needs to be done, where things are located, and if there’s any additional information I need to know in regards to their pets (ex: vet info, medications, behavior). The more details I have, the better I can care for your fur babies!


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

“Ashley went above and beyond for us and our dogs! She came over the day before watching them to meet them and know their routines. She took them out on nice, long walks and was dedicated in her care! She took pictures and videos of her outings with them and communicated regularly with us. She was so sweet with them!”


“I am a helicopter-pup mom and honestly a little much when it comes to my two babies! My normal pet sitter is no longer able to pet sit and I was so nervous going through an app and choosing a complete stranger to take care of my babies while I was out of town. From the moment I met her, I felt safe. Alexa has a sweet and calming demeanor. She sent me photos and updated me on how they were doing. She even brought her dog over to visit (with my permission)! I will definitely utilize her services again and recommend her!”


About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.

“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”


About: Hi, I’m Monica! I live in Oak Ridge and absolutely love meeting new pets of all breeds and personalities. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at once and have experience with a variety of breeds including Chows, Boxers, Labradors, Great Danes, and Labradoodles. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime in the yard, or little adventures, I make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved. I’m also experienced with medication schedules and special care needs—one dog I watched had thyroid issues and needed medication at the same time every day, so I know how important consistency is for their health and comfort. I work from home, which means I’m super flexible and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home so I can be super flexible, especially if your dog needs medication at a certain time of the day or week. I care for pets in their home by following their regular routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and keeping their space clean and safe. I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my own home.

“Stephanie was awesome with all of our fur babies, and we have many of them. I completely trust her to house sit for us again when needed. I could tell just upon meeting her that she was a kind hearted person and the way my pets trusted her proved it to be so. 10/10 would recommend!”


“Kristen took great care of Jack and Callie playing lots of fetch. We came back to a happy dog and cat and a house that looked like we never left. We will definitely book with Kristen again.”


About: With 6 years of experience caring for pets, I offer loving, responsible, and attentive care — always treating each animal with the affection and respect they deserve. I currently work as a house cleaner during the week, so I am available to care for your pets from Thursday at 5:30 PM until Monday at 8:00 AM. During this time, I can fully dedicate myself to providing your pets with loving, responsible, and attentive care — whether it’s for overnight stays, weekend sitting, or extended care. In-Home Pet Care: I care for your furry loved ones in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. By staying in their familiar environment, your pet can maintain their regular routine — which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.

“I would highly recommend Donna! She took great care of my pup, communicated with me during her whole stay and sent lots of pictures and videos. She has a great setup to accommodate dogs at her home and did a great job taking my pup on tons of walks.”


“Annabelle took amazing care of Brandy and Phoebe, as always!-I’ve had experiences with sitters in the past that left me with some concerns, but she has no trouble making me feel like my pups are safe and well cared for. Thanks again Annabelle!!!”

Sarah N.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention Sarah gave to my two dogs while I was away. From the moment I met Sarah, it was clear she genuinely loved animals and is dedicated to providing the best care. Both of my dogs can be a bit quirky, but Sarah handled them with such patience and understanding. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. I could see how happy and relaxed my dogs were in the photos, which made my time away stress-free. The dogs were well-fed, cuddled, and had plenty of playtime. I could tell they were spoiled with love and attention. It’s hard to find someone who connects so well with our babies, but Sarah is a true gem!

If you need someone chill, reliable, and great with animals you’ve found it.”

She took care them in my own place, which helped in not stressing Owain and Lana while we are out. She was easy to communicate and followed my recommendations with their food and go out times.

I would not hesitate to recommend him for your dear pets. You will not be disappointed.”
