“Jason was super thorough when communicating and reporting back on how Myles was doing while we were away! Very quick to respond to our last minute request as well, which made us feel good, when becoming a new client. You can tell he loves his job! We will definitely be using him again! Thanks!!!”
“Considering this was our first time engaging a sitter via Rover, we got really lucky finding someone like Kate. Not only was she able to administer insulin to one of our cats, she was very accommodating of our schedules and specific requirements. She was punctual & responsible, and a big bonus that the cats didn't shy away from her :)”
“I'm so thankful for Rover because it led me to Donna and Kim! I had a regular cat sitter in the past but she moved and was no longer available. After reading reviews, Donna and Kim sounded like the perfect fit for Lily and me. They are all the things you would want in a pet sitter and much more! Punctual, informative, caring, and really nice people! I've lined them up again for a short trip. Thanks Donna and Kim!”

“Shauni was great with Myles and followed all the instructions and care for our boy! Always provided pics and even took care of our plants and mail as a bonus! Thanks! 10/10 would hire again!”
“Tara is always excellent. A great communicator and even braved an unexpected power outage at the home without complaint. Our Steve loves when she comes to stay and our house is always left in tip top. Thank you Tara!”
“Dawn did a wonderful job! She visited my cat twice daily for a week while I was away. Dawn fed her a special diet and two medications and gave her tons of attention. The daily photos gave me peace of mind that my sweet girl was being well cared for by Dawn. I came home to a healthy happy cat.”
“Sarah was wonderful with my pups! They loved her instantly! She was timely, thoughtful and sent great updates and notes about how the care time went. Will definitely be using her services again soon!”

About: Hi, I’m Ally! Animals have always been at the heart of my life—my cat is my best friend, but I truly love and care for every creature I meet. I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, from cats and dogs to small animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My passion for animals led me to pursue formal training in their care. I began taking animal care classes in high school, earned my Associate’s degree in Animal Sciences from Jackson State Community College, and went on to graduate from The University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. I have hands-on experience from two years of volunteering at the Jackson Animal Care Center and have been working in veterinary clinics since 2022. I’m currently a certified veterinary technician at LoveWell Veterinary Services, where I work with a wide variety of animals every day. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and providing loving companionship to pets with all kinds of needs. At home, I share my life with a friendly cat and a yorkie who both enjoy meeting new animal friends. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to have more time for your pets! I am off every other Monday and only work half days on Tuesday and Thursday so even if it says I’m unavailable shoot me a message! As your pet sitter, I will care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll follow their routine closely, make sure they’re fed and exercised on schedule, and keep them happy with playtime and affection.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire childhood, I have experience working with dogs at a boarding kennel and daycare. I own a great dane myself so size does not intimidate me. I have given dogs baths, nail trims, medication by mouth and medication by syringe, along with feeding and walking all types of dogs. I currently have a very open schedule, as of right now I am extremely flexible to dog sit or walk when requested. I can give your animal plenty of attention and care. I provide reliable and experienced dog care tailored to your pet’s needs. With a background in a boarding kennel and daycare, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including giant breeds like my own Great Dane. Whether your dog needs feeding, walks, playtime, or just companionship, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Betsy is a delight, from her caring nature to her comforting responsiveness, reliability and more. Our shy kitty cat Sayde took very little time before she was snuggling up to Betsy, which came across in the many photos that Betsy sent our way. Betsy has our strong recommendation, and we look forward to again using her valued services!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kind since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me to bathe, feed and walk their pets while they are away. I have a full time job where I work 7 to 3 Sunday through Thursday. I’m available after work and on days when I’m off. I have a fenced in yard. I have one friendly boy dog named Atlas and two hyper cats named Egypt and Willow. All three of my fur babies are ready to meet yours and be fast friends
“Paul was an excellent sitter. He made sure George, my cat, was happy, comfortable, and enjoying himself. Throughout his stay, Paul kept us well-informed with regular updates and was always quick to respond. The best part was the photos of George throughout the day, which were a great way to stay updated. I would highly recommend Paul as a sitter—I can’t stress it enough. He was truly great!”
