About: I have 15 1/2 years experience working with animals professionally and caring for them. I am very familiar with the different personalities and needs that come with pets. I love to let dogs be dogs and live their best life! I offer baths and nail trims/nail grindings. I also have plenty of experience administering medication. I have 3 dogs of my own and 3 cats. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I have lots of love and patience and understanding. My children may be with me sometimes but they are very good with animals and I’ve worked very hard to teach them all about dog body language and how to approach pets they are not familiar with. I look forward to loving your pet like my own! I just left my pet care related job of 15 1/2 years. I am now a stay at home mom and I homeschool my children. I’m always ready for a new client 🙂 We are very much animal people. Our pets are allowed on our furniture and my pets have their own space. Two of my dogs are in their senior years and can be a bit cranky at times but they are used to new pets coming into the home as we have had lots of rescues and fosters throughout their lives. My fenced backyard is connected to my garage which is open during warmer seasons and my pets love to spend time there. So if your pets likes outside time they will love it! You are welcome to bring bedding and toys to help your pet feel at home 💞 but it is not required. I would recommend bringing a crate if your pet is accustomed to using one, as it can often serve as a comfy safe place. Please do provide food from home 🙂
“Bethany was great and took good care of my two cats. She sent me pictures every day. We had to amend our schedule a few times and she was understanding and promptly updated the appointments schedule. I will use her again and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Shelly is absolutely wonderful! She has been working with my puppy for a while and I can see how excited he is on my security camera. When he was having belly issues she was sure to give him his meds and help how she could. She reaches out with questions or concerns. I can tell she loves visiting. Thank you Shelly!”
“Kristen was wonderful! She was patient and attentive to my pup. Normally I board my dog for work trips but he had a cough so I opted to have her come take care of him at home. This was entirely new for him and he took a minute to get used to her, and she was amazing working with him. She was diligent with his meds and feeding schedule. She communicated clearly and often. She tooks him for walks every day and posted pictures so I cough see my boy while I was away. I can't recommend her enough.”
About: The people closest to me know me as their go-to pet sitter for any and all occasions! I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs and socializing both dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for over a decade, and come with excellent references. I have strong empathy for animals, and I'd love to become your most reliable pet-sitter! I am available most mornings, days, and evenings. I am open to boarding if the situation is a good fit. My schedule is flexible so please feel free to just ask, I am happy to try and accommodate! I have a small fenced yard and screened in back porch, living in a very walkable neighborhood. I am respectful of any and all environments, responsible, and reliable. You can count on me to ensure your pets needs are met and then some, your space is left tidy, as well as ensuring your home is secure post-check in.
“Honestly, I don't feel that 5 stars is enough for Laura. She took my babies on super last minute for a month after another sitter fell through. Laura took great care of our babies and communicated with me throughout the entire time. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“We had Becca come for a meet and greet while we were home to meet our pack and the setup for future house sitting. She was very communicative prior to the visit and really loved on our furbabies during the visit. We are looking forward to planning our trip and for Becca to stay with our furbabies.”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at MTSU currently home for the summer, and I’m working part time at the moment. This means that I am available often! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
“Kiara was available for us when our pet sitter quit last minute. We were across the country, and Kiara help ease the stress. We were having to have a friend help but thankfully Kiara was available to take over last minute the next morning. She made sure our dogs were taken care of sent adorable photos. She was thoughtful and always considered their well being. We would definitely use Kiara again!”

I travel in an RV and can camp in your drive way for round the clock attention for the price of two daily visits. i am a traveling artist, doing 6 shows a year. I have an RV and can plan my schedule easily. My experience with animals as a farmer means I can handle just about anything, recognize a problem and work with veterinary experts.

“Delaney is a true superstar! I left her with her hands full and she did everything I asked! She even took extra care with my kitten who had a health problem as well as has a great time with my pups ? 1000000% recommendation and will use her again!”
About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I’m currently working Monday through Friday 6:00am to 2:00pm, I get an hour lunch from 11:00 to 12:00pm so I could check on animals during lunch and then of course be with them at all times outside of this work schedule, I’m off Saturday and Sunday. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pikeville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
