Laura also took care of our house while we were gone. When we came home the house was clean and neat. The bed had been stripped and the sheets washed. Thanks again Laura for allowing us to have a carefree trip.”


“Wow is all I can say! We have only lived in Tennessee 2 years and work so much we haven’t met anyone we trusted with our boys so thought we’d try Rover for a trip to Florida to help my parents move. We were gone a full 7 days. Michael came to meet us and our boys a couple weeks prior to our trip and was very pleasant and professional. We have a pit and a frenchie that are a bit high maintenance. Every day he sent us pics and a note on how everyone was doing. Our home was spotless when we got back he even picked up the back yard and ran our vacuum. Our boys seemed happy and we couldn’t be happier owners! Michael really took a ton of stress off our shoulders and made it easy for us to be productive and have a good week away. Thank you so much!!!!!”



“Caitlin was amazing, responsive, and always sent pictures of my girls right when I needed them. She went above and beyond by taking both dogs to daycare (gotta keep up that socialization). Liam, her companion dog, was the perfect addition to my little pack. I never worried about a thing.”


About: With years of experience with various types of pets and a genuine love for animals, I will provide personalized pet care that goes beyond feeding and walking. I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels right at home, with activities and attention to their specific needs. Whether it's administering medication, offering extra attention, or maintaining their routine, I ensure peace of mind for both you and your furry friends. What sets me apart is my dedication to treating your pet like family, with a focus on trust, compassion, and reliability. I am currently a full time student at Lee university but fortunately my classes are pretty early so I should have no problems working around my schedule give or take a few days out of the week. Choosing me to house-sit your pets offers you the peace of mind knowing that both your home and furry companions are in safe hands. I prioritize security by respecting your home’s routines and maintaining its safety while you're away. I take extra precautions to secure your home, including locking doors, monitoring any security systems, and following any specific instructions you provide. You can rest easy, knowing that I’m dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable space for both your pets and your home.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license in Tennessee. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I recently made the move from New York to Tennessee and, while I wait for my veterinary license, I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind — for both you and your pet!

“Amanda is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She treated our pup as though she were her own, sent us pics and kept in close contact while we were out of town. She did everything we asked and then some. Our pup LOVES Amanda. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”


“Wendy is excellent with my two dogs, is caring with my home, and keeps me well informed while I am way. I appreciate how responsive, accountable, and trustworthy she is. I recommend Wendy.”

“Bradishia is a great dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our 7 year old Malinois, and our home. She was very responsive and sent me daily pictures to help ease my worries. She went above and beyond with cleaning the house before we got home. It was a nice homecoming after traveling all day. We will definitely keep booking her!”


About: I have had all kinds of different pets growing up. There is nothing better than the puppy stage. Seeing their growth is always so exciting. From English bulldogs to cats, I would enjoy the opportunity to love your babies while you’re away! I am currently just a student and while in summer pet care should be no problem! From playing, to potty breaks, even cuddles. I would love to fit your pet into my routine. While in my home, I will offer them walks around Lee University. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I am open to dog parks if the client is as well. In the clients home I will try to maintain the amount of play and attention the animal is used to receiving. Play time outside or inside couch cuddles.

About: Hey! I have always been passionate about dogs and have been raised around them since I was a child. I'm dedicated to taking care of your pet(s) and making sure that they have everything they need and are safe. I have three of my own and I would adopt more. I will care for your pet(s) just like I would any of mine. I don't have children, I have fur babies :-) My house has a large fenced backyard with trees and is just like being in the woods. 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.

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time student getting out of class early in the day Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday . I work from 9-5 and 9-3 at a furniture store in Madisonville on Fridays and Saturdays. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.

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.

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!

Tony G.
“Tony took amazing care of my two dogs, Waffles and Sake, while I was away! His background in veterinary medicine gave me so much peace of mind, especially since Sake can be a bit feisty at times. He handled everything with patience, skill, and genuine care, taking the time to work with Sake's particular personality quirks. Throughout my trip, Tony kept me in the loop with daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel even more at ease. When I came home, the girls were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved — and my house looked just as good as I left it. Tony also has his own cat that he absolutely dotes on, and it shows in how naturally he connects with animals. I’m confident he would make an incredible sitter for anyone lucky enough to book him!”
