“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my precious pup with. Angelica was amazing and Winnie seemed to really enjoy her time with her. She was available with only a 2 week notice and she was very responsive. Without asking, she sent me loads of updates. You could tell Winnie was well taken care of and she enjoyed playing with Angelica’s pups as well. I will definitely use Angelica for any future needs we have!!”

“Communication throughout boarding was excellent! We had a meet and greet prior to boarding that helped me feel more at ease with my doggo's well-being. There were several walks, photo updates, and time with other dogs playing. I'd book with Nicole and Dexter again, if their schedule allows during future trips!”

“Alexis and Alexzander were absolutely wonderful with our puppy! They are so kind and true animal lovers. They were patient with our very shy dog and she warmed up to them instantly. Our pup was in the very best hands. They sent photos and updates and we knew they loved her like their own! We are so appreciative. Lovely people and highly recommend!”

“Megan took care of our two boys while we were away for 6 nights and did such a great job!! We received pictures and updates every day and she was so quick to respond to any messages or updates from us. Super easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. Her dogs got along with ours so well. She’s our new go-to sitter for sure!”

“Patches had a grand time with his best buddy Jackson and the kitties. He is clearly very happy hanging out with them, and with Khari and Steve and couldn't ask for a better place to spend his vacation. Thanks again Khari and Steve for taking care of him so well.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and friends of friends for over 10 years. I love interacting with pets of all kinds, outdoor adventures, and playing my guitar for the pets I watch! I can assure you that your pet will be well loved and have a blast while you are away!

When I care for pets, I treat them like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and any needs like medication. I do request that owners disclose indoor cameras and who has access to them, just because it makes me feel safer in your home 😁
“Brooke and her husband were fantastic with our dog Stella! Lot of updates throughout our stay and excellent communication! Look forward to booking again!”

“We felt at peace that our dog Yuki is in good hands. You can really see that Michael and his family genuinely cares for dogs. We boarded Yuki for 2 nights. Michael constantly kept us updated. Yuki was a bit nervous around other dogs but Michael made sure Yuki feels safe and secure during her stay with them.”

“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”


“Jamie and her family took excellent care of our 2 dogs for a week. They enjoyed lots of playtime, exercise, and companionship--even making friends with Jamie's own dogs. Jamie was great about sending photos/videos sharing the dogs' activities. Her big yard and beautiful home were a perfect oasis so we feel like our dogs got to go on a vacation, too! We definitely look forward to booking with Jamie again.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. Two night minimum required. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 11:30-1:30 p.m. and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 10 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! 🐈
“I’ve had April and Rob watch my Australian cattle dog twice, and they’re extremely reliable, communicative and are obvious animal lovers! The second time I brought Mochi to their home he got SO excited to see his new friend (their dog) Remi again he pretty much forgot I existed and bolted out the car door! Highly recommend.”

About: Since I was a kid, I've been an avid animal lover of all creatures big and small. I've fostered, rehabilitated, and cared for countless animals (pets & wildlife) with a focus of kindness and respect first and foremost. I have hands-on experience with agression, reactivity, separation anxiety, high-energy, and sick/poor health. I currently have 2 dogs in my care (7 & 6) that I rescued as puppies and they've traveled with me all over the southeast. Our favorite activities are exploring in the woods and seeing who is the muddiest at the end of each adventure. I'm very intentional about creating a space for animals to exist as they naturally do, it's a wonder to see how each animal navigates the world and to see their unique personalities shine. I'm currently between jobs, working self-employed gigs here and there, leaving my schedule flexible and open to last-minute care for your pets! I keep my calendar updated daily to ensure accurate availability and give priority to return clients. I am very adamant on making sure your pet receives the same care and routine they are accustomed to. I have experience in a wide arrange of personalities and have personal experience in dogs that need special care and attention with behavior. I do hands-on training with my dogs daily to work on their behavior (one of them is very leash/dog reactive) I have experience is caring for animals with heath needs and stubborn behavior, from administering oral medicine to grooming/nail trimming.

Madeline did a wonderful job in taking care of my cat! She was responsive, thoughtful and sent updates with photos. KitKat was healthy and calm upon her return home - she stayed 3 weeks with Madeline and her two kids. An extra bonus is that they loved KitKat and you could tell! Do not hesitate to book a stay with Madeline, your pet will be loved and cared for with TLC 😊💖!!!
I always feel safe leaving Pico with Sarah. I may miss him but I never have to worry about him because I know he is in excellent hands. She really cares about the pets she boards. Besides I think its like him getting to go to "camp". He makes new friends and has new experiences and its good for him. He is kept stimulated and active. Never have an issue when I bring him home. He is clean and well cared for.
Jennifer and her husband are wonderful! This is the longest stay with them for our Larson and he was just as happy and healthy as he can be when we picked him up. I will continue to book with them every time we have traveling plans. Could not ask for better pet sitters 😍

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
