“Danielle was amazing!! Very communicative, sweet and detailed with making sure she we got an update about our fur baby. Will definitely use her again and recommend to others”
“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”
“Sarah is the best! She takes such great care of our high-energy Malinois, and our pup is always so excited to see her! She makes sure she gets plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and pays great attention to detail. Sarah always keeps us updated on anything going on during her visits, and she is consistently on time and reliable. We appreciate her so much and couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our girl! Highly recommend Sarah!”
About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
About: Hi! I'm Wendy! I've always had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. I have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to look after your fur babies. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra love and attention, I'll make sure your pets feel happy and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently a college student, and I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I'm excited to meet your furry family members and hopefully become someone you can count on!

During visits, I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention and a safe environment. I always double check doors, gates and leashes during walks and potty breaks. I'm more than happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being cared for!
About: I’ve cared for dogs for my entire life. Starting as a kid, dogs were my first love as an animal enthusiast. They are so playful, kind, loving, innocent, and unique in every way. I’ve never had a dog that didn’t give me their full loyalty. I believe every animal should be protected and treated with love and respect. My ultimate goal in life is to become a veterinarian and help animals who don’t have someone to care for them. I am currently available weekdays for drop in and walking services. I am also available on weekends based on availability. I also offer bathing services as an add on to any booking! I believe proper animal care is essential. I have in depth knowledge of temperament and training. I would be more than happy to follow a set schedule for your pet and care for them in the most stress free way possible.

I'm currently a college student at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and I have a good deal of flexibility. All I have to work around are my classes. I'm comfortable doing whatever your instructions require to keep your pet safe, happy and comfortable. I know what it feels like to leave my pets at home in the care of someone else, and I will take care of your pets as if they are my own.
“Jordan is great with our two doodles! They are very reactive and she has been extremely patient and understanding. She is very punctual, communicative, and reliable. I love seeing the pictures she attaches to every walk! Highly recommend!”

I am seeking furry friends to hang out with when I work from home. I work from home two days a week, and eat lunch at home every day.

I love building relationships with pets whether it's earning a cats trust or being playful with a dog. My day job is relaxed so I have plenty of time to give them my attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgeside
Leslie was an amazing pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog as well as my friends dog who can be extremely anxious. Leslie went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with treats and patience. She was flexible with time changes and even came through when I had a blunder of my own and didn’t provide accurate information (sorry again Leslie!). I would recommend her to anyone as she is attentive, kind, understanding, and most importantly excellent with dogs. I will certainly be using Leslie for all of my future dog sitting/walking needs. Thanks, Leslie! Leslie was an amazing pet sitter! She took excellent care of my dog as well as my friend’s dog, who can be extremely anxious.

I will definitely be using Leslie for all of my future dog sitting and walking needs. Thanks again, Leslie! River and I really appreciate you!
Margo is wonderful! My animals instantly liked her when we did the meet and greet and I’ve never had to worry about my animals when she is with them. She’s absolutely great at working with my crazy schedule to assist with the animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter/dog walker. Highly recommend hiring!
Sophia was great! She walked our two dogs — a 70 lb Labradoodle and a 50 lb Border Collie/Poodle mix — and handled them both confidently and with ease. They can be a handful together, but she clearly has experience with larger, high-energy dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. The dogs came back happy and well exercised. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!
