I look forward to continuing to work with her!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to all types of animal personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I’d want for my own. We have two sweet dogs of our own that are friendly to all dogs and people, and are always up to date on necessary vaccinations. We live in a 1,400 sq ft townhome in the heart of Clarksville, and although we no longer have a yard, we have a large open green space right next to our complex and are just a block away from a dog park that we use constantly. Since I'm home all day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout their stay! (Plus lots of pictures of them to send your way!) Since I'm home all day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and love throughout their stay! This also allows me to provide flexible scheduling and attentive care for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting needs. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're used to, whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in theirs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other preferences the owner provides. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and have plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space while providing lots of love, care, and updates along the way.
“Mo provides 5-star service — to my dog, and to me. Communicated well, sent photos frequently. I knew my dog was happy and felt safe when I got photos of him belly-up and relaxed. Mo house-sat for five days and it was clean and well cared for. I highly recommend Mo, and will be using his services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️”

“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”

“Great sitter. Was able to help out on short notice and provided updates on our pets. Gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Would definitely book again”

“Jolene was great with my pup and kitty. My dog has some health issues and Jolene medicated him and kept to his schedule like instructed. She was loving and kind to my animals and they were not that excited when I got home!”

“Leslie was the most amazing Petsitter! She kept us updated on our pups, sent us ton of adorable cuddle pictures and left the house spotless. She even kept the chickens happy 10/10. Definitely would recommend!”

“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”

“Brittany is amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog Murray and was an excellent communicator. He has separation anxiety, and this was the calmest and happiest he's ever been when we came back from a trip. Brittany brought over her dog Duke (who is adorable), and Murray really enjoyed having a friend. She left our house in perfect condition, and I can't recommend her enough! 11/10!”

“Elle was fantastic when she watched our cat! From the very beginning, she asked all the right questions to make sure she had everything she needed to take care of him. She really cared about his wellbeing and it was clear that she understood how much we would miss him. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos and handled any small issues that came up. She was so kind and sweet throughout the whole stay. Her commitment to giving animals the best care and helping their owners feel better than ever is truly impressive. We couldn’t recommend her more! 10/10, she’s a total lifesaver!”

“Cortney took great care of my dog and cat while I was away for a short weekend. She made sure to follow all of my instructions and check in at least once a day. Thank you again and excited for the next time you get to stay with them!”

“Jena was communicative before and during the booking. She arranged a meet-and-greet with my dog to make sure she was feeling good about the gig, and she sent pictures while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house - what more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend Jena and would rebook her if the need arose.”

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Allie housesat for me while I was out of town and was wonderful with Bisou. Her communication was excellent- she kept me updated throughout with photos and regular checkins. There were also some small things I needed done around the house that she was able to take care of for me with no hesitation. I'd definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

Amelia did a great job with baby O - from meet and greet where she was asking a lot of questions and taking thorough notes to before and during the stay when she was clarifying expectations and giving updates. I would absolutely have her house sit and watch baby O again.

We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Marley! From start to finish, she was so responsible and communicative, keeping us updated the entire time we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog as so well loved, safe, and happy. We also came home to a clean house which is so nice. Highly recommend Marley!

Natalie stayed at our house and took incredible care of our puppy, Peach! She was communicative, sent daily photos, and cared for/trained/played with Peach perfect. She also kept our house in perfect condition. We highly recommend her to any Rover dog owners! 🐶 🍑

Caroline was wonderful with my dog. She has such a friendly, reassuring demeanor, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the visit. She took especially thoughtful care of my senior dog, making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I would absolutely book with her again!
