“Lorrin was amazing. She was a great communicator and always asked questions if she didn’t know something or needed to adjust the times. She treated our Amir like our own and was a huge help while we are gone. She relieved so much stress and worry as we traveled and left him at home. I was able to enjoy our vacation with out worry because I knew he was in good hands. The initial meeting was great and she has a super flexible schedule. She followed every instruction that this worried mama had and she assured me that he was going to be well taken care of. 10/10!!!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for a year, I always make sure to hang out and play with the animals. I love being around animals and playing fetch with them. I also have one dog and one cat I am currently a college student at my local college, I am studying education. I’ve always had a love for pets and have had many growing up. I currently am a full time student without a job so I have lots of free time to properly take care or your pets! I have one cat and one dog that live with my parents but I took care of them when I lived there, and I help take care of two of my roommates cats, I love to spend time with them and learn what makes each animal happy!

About: I have taken care of numerous types of pets, including puppies and kittens to grown adult dogs and cats. I have also dabbled with reptiles. I work full-time, but I am work from home so I have the availability to watch, feed, care for, etc any pet in my home. I care for every pet like they are my own, meaning I will make sure they have water and are fed on time. In addition to that bathroom breaks are guaranteed every 2-4 hours and play time through out the day is too.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize their routine, safety, and happiness. I am currently a stay at home pet mom! I am in the Indiana national guard, so I have tons of free time! I have two pets of my own, with very simple schedules! I’m very good a paying attention to what your fur baby will need. I’m also more then happy to potty train and teach tricks to any pups needing assistance!
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets and my own since I was very young. I have 5 dogs back home which are a handful but you can never have too many animals ! I currently work full time in the Army, but I don’t do much on the weekends nor after work besides going to the gym. I have no children, just me and my wife and I’m looking forward to accommodating to anyone in need ! Side note: I get off typically at 3pm on Fridays so I’m available after that, any long weekends I have off will also be updated on my schedule ! In my clients home I know that the safety and well being of their pets are the number one priority so I intend to follow whichever schedule they may already have.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Cane Corso, which gave me firsthand experience living with and caring for a large, powerful breed from an early age. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, parrots, chinchillas, and fish—including a household of seven Maine Coons—so I’m comfortable around animals with very different personalities and needs. I eventually turned that lifelong experience into professional pet sitting, caring for dogs and cats for about a year. That experience taught me that good pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. Every animal has their own routine, temperament, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I make an effort to understand and respect those differences. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, including large breeds, and I’m patient with animals that need time to become comfortable with someone new. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and any other specific care your pet requires. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, reliability and attention to detail are important to me. I also understand how unpredictable military schedules can be. Whether you’re dealing with a long duty day, field exercise, TDY, or simply need someone dependable while you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect clear communication, photos, and updates while your pets are in my care—because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing while you’re away. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, I keep a structured routine and plan my pet-sitting availability around my military schedule. I’m generally available outside of duty hours, including evenings and weekends, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings I know I can reliably fulfill. I also understand that military life doesn’t always follow the original plan. Long duty days, field exercises, TDY, and last-minute schedule changes happen, so I especially understand clients who need dependable pet care when their own schedules become unpredictable. When I accept a booking, I make that commitment part of my schedule and ensure I have enough time to give your pet proper care and attention rather than trying to squeeze in as many visits as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animal and the home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, household rules, and any areas that are off-limits. Safety always comes first. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before moving a pet in or out of the home, and I pay attention to the animal’s behavior rather than forcing interaction. I’m comfortable giving shy or cautious pets the time and space they need to become familiar with me. I also believe trust comes from communication. I’ll provide photos and updates during visits and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet or their environment. As an active-duty Soldier, accountability and attention to detail are important parts of my everyday life. When you trust me with your pet and access to your home, I take that responsibility seriously.
About: I have experience caring for both Huskies and Golden Retrievers, which has given me insight into different energy levels, personalities, and training styles. Huskies require structure and exercise, while Golden Retrievers are eager to please and highly social. Currently, I am raising a 9-week-old Golden Retriever, focusing on early training, socialization, and building healthy daily routines. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine and something I prioritize. Each day includes feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever who requires frequent attention and structure. I also make time for grooming, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. Overall, caring for my pets is naturally built into my schedule and balanced alongside my other responsibilities. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, clean, and structured environment where their needs are consistently met. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, ensuring they always have fresh water, and giving them daily exercise and playtime. I focus on training and positive reinforcement, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever, to build good habits early. I also maintain grooming, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their health and behavior closely to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in back yard for free roam play.
“Jenn did such a fabulous job. She dropped in a few days before to meet my dogs which was amazing since my doodle doesn’t warm up easily to strangers. She updated me and sent photos during the entire process. My doodle ended up loving her! My mind was at ease knowing they were in such good hands! I highly recommend her! Thank you Jenn!”

“Theresa does great with Ranger during her daily drop in visits. She has been helping reinforce commands and training and I can tell it’s making a difference when I get home. Provides great updates daily on things she notices and how training is going as well!”

“Lauren always does a fantastic job with our crew. Today she came on approximately 24 hour notice to do a drop-in visit while we were unexpectedly out of town for the day. She’s always on time, follows the instructions, asks questions when needed, and cleans up after the pups. We love Lauren!”

About: I have always had dogs, and I absolutely love them. My childhood dog, Rowdy, is a senior pup now, and with that comes a lot that my family needs to do to take care of him. I believe it is so important to have patience with our seniors especially through their accidents and off-days. I also have become my sister’s great pyrenees’ favorite aunt! Nova is around 1 and a half and quite the large breed. She loves to snuggle but she also loves to pretend she is a shark! I would love to help you ensure your dogs are taken care of while you’re away! I am currently working at Starbucks, so I am free most days in the afternoons. I am off Saturdays and Thursday mornings! I am also a full-time online student going for K-5 Education at Austin Peay State University. N/A. I currently live in an apartment with my anxious kitty, and my roommate’s dachshund! I would want to have larger environment before I took your babies into my own home.
“John has been incredible with my 4 dogs. Yes, 4! I have 2 older ladies and two younger males and they all love him. He is great with communication and I know that they are well cared for when we’re away. We have used him several times and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, however, I do work a full time job close by which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: A little about me! My friends and family call me the animal whisperer, the minute I meet any animal it’s like we form an instant bond of mutual trust. I have grown up surrounded by mainly dogs, cats and snakes. I love playing inside/outside with my pets 24/7. Hiking, running, swimming or exploring/walking, if your babies love to adventure I’m here for it! I rescued and trained to service level both my cat and Belgian Malinois. I have taken care of my friends and family’s pets my entire life, trusting me to give their pets a little pet staycation while they’re on vacation. I am from Southern California, I’ve been mainly pet/house sitting and doing drop ins in the Sango area for about a year now. I have a lot of experience with all types of breeds, especially the dominant ones. I have had 5 bully/pitbulls. I also study animal behaviors to better understand and communicate for their wellness. To ease your stress/worries, your babies will be in knowledgeable, loving hands. I can dedicate as much time as you/they need to your babies. I freelance, doing a few different types of jobs but they normally do not overlap or cause me to be away from home/your home for longer than a couple to a few hours. I am a very active person, I do hybrid training everyday that includes street/trail running and weights/calisthenics. I normally do this early in the morning for 1-3 hours. If I’m not with your babies, I’m at my house a couple times throughout the day to care for my babies then I’m back at yours! I care for your pets at your home, I can stay or go as long as you’d like, keep them outside playing or inside- everything is your preference. I’d love to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. As far as your home, if there’s anything you need me to do please let me know! I will do little things that I see here and there such as, bringing in any packages, cleaning up and taking out trash.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
