“Everything was great, we couldn't be happier with her service. I don't know what we would do without her help, and she was so easy to work with, it was nice to know we had nothing to worry about while we were away from home. Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!”


“Kelly was amazing with our kitten! She provided us with great updates and fun photos. We are first time Rover clients and look forward to leaving Mia in Kelly’s capable hands again.”


“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets as much as you do, call Mike!!!! I was not looking forward to vacation because I was apprehensive about leaving my dogs for 3 weeks. I absolutely had NO reason for concern. Finding Mike was an absolute gift from God! He is amazing with all 3 dogs and caters to each of their personalities and needs. Mike even goes above and beyond and has exceeded my expectations. My oldest dog has skin issues. When I left, her skin was becoming more red and irritated. He applied the antimicrobial gel spray we use to help soothe her skin. This spray does eventually leave some 'build up' and he even gave Mya some baths so her skin can breathe and heal ♡. Having 3 Pomeranians we also tend to get some Pommy dust bunnies. Mike ran a vacuum to eliminate these so we could rest once we got home and not have to worry about any clean up. Thank you Mike for everything! It is such a relief to know that my girls are in the best care when I am not here.”


“Ben is reliable, trustworthy and an asset to Rover!!! We can count on him to take care of our fur babies when we can’t!!! Will definitely use him again, and refer him to our friends and family!!!”


“We’re grateful Kristan was available to take care of our cats while we were away. We’re new to the area and weren’t sure what to do about an upcoming trip. It’s good to have such nice, reliable people around.”


“This was my first time using Rover for in-home pet sitting and boy am I thankful to have met Joan!! She met with me beforehand to answer any questions and meet my fur baby, Sprinkles, to go over her routine. While I was gone, she provided so many video, photo, and written updates as to how Sprinkles was doing! She even went above and beyond by checking my mail, bringing down my trashcan, and ensuring I had a clean house to come home to! I was able to totally relax on my family vacation because of Joan! I highly recommend her to everyone and will definitely be calling her in the future!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else.

With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.

About: I have raised and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals! I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to love on your pup! We revolve our life around our animals which currently include a small herd of goats, chickens and dachshunds. I have the time and flexibility to care for your pets in our home and treat them like family! I also have vast experience with animal emergencies that come along with raising farm animals and I feel we (my family and I) are well equipped to handle most situations. We also have a farm vet that is willing to come out in the event of an emergency! I am a stay at home mom and have around the clock availability. When we are out of home it is usually just for a few hours. I can accommodate most schedules! I am available for sitting in our home 7 days a week and to do drop in sitting M-T. We live on 10 acres set back far from the road. We have friendly dachshunds who can be kept separately or allowed to play with your pup! We have a fenced in small pasture for out door play or they can just stay inside and be leash walked!

“Sara was great and was able to stop by for a meet & greet before the scheduled drop-in visit. Our pups just need to be let out once a hike we were out for the day. Sara sent us pictures and details of her drop-in visit which went smoothly. We look forward to having Sara pet sit for us again in the future.”


About: I have two dogs, two cats, and two snake pets of my own. I have taken care of some of these animals for almost 10 years now. Through out the years I have taught some animals some tricks, played outside, and have given them the love and attention they need. I am a freshman in college and looking for a beneficial way to spend my free time; what better way to spend that than with animals? If you are in need for someone to care for your pet I would be more than happy to help! I am a very active person and can take ur pets on walks, keep them entertained or anything of that nature to keep them healthy. For senior pets, I stay at ease, have patience, and am very calm to their liking. I am extremely cautious with any and every animal I take care of to ensure their safety!

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a calm, happy environment. Whether it’s giving medication, handling high-energy dogs, or comforting shy pets, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Our pets are our best friends, and it's my goal to ensure that we enjoy our time together! While it may be my job to provide care and love to your pets while you're away, I can also say that I value my time spent with each animal! Nothing makes my heart happier than a wagging tail or a slobbery kiss :) I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets both during school semesters and breaks. I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy.

About: Liscensed as a veterinary medical technician in the state of Tennessee. Attended college at Lincoln memorial university and have been practicing since 2004. I've always owned animals and have worked with all different species. Very flexible. I work from home right now and I have lots of freedom with my schedule. I generally know a week in advance if I'll be away. I live in the country and have little traffic on my road. We can take long walks away from all my pets. I have one medium dog inside and she can be separated from your pet.

About: I grew up on a mini hobby farm and helped my family care for our animals starting at around age 7. As I grew older I continued to love animals and have had my own pet rabbits and cats. I currently have two beautiful cats and help to care for my family's aging Golden Retriever when I am at home. I am a student on summer break looking to fill in the gaps left by my part time jobs. I am most available early evenings, Saturdays and some mornings. I am very attentive to animals in my care and will be on the alert for possible hazards your pet may encounter in addition to providing for their needs and comfort . I aim to establish good communication with all animals I encounter.

About: I’ve owned dogs and watched dogs for a long time. I’ve had experience with teacups to Danes. I bred Jack Russels for 3years and worked as a vet assistant for 2. I love all animals so, yes- I will watch your cats, birds, fish, and reptiles too. I currently work night shift- Sunday through Thursday. I’m off weekends and for all major holidays so feel free to save my link for those family vacations! My yard is fenced and I live right next to the greenway and dog park so, there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for excercise and play with me. I’m also very comfortable with cuddles in bed or on the couch on rainy days. 🥰

About: Hey! I have always been passionate about dogs and have been raised around them since I was a child.

I will follow the instructions you leave for me, feed them at the times that you request, and dispense any medication as instructed. I am great with communication and willing to send you pictures and updates throughout the day of your precious pet(s). I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I will be able to check on the babies all day and play as needed. If I am coming to your home overnight, I will need access to wifi for work, that is mandatory. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies; they’re family too. I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.
