About: I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had a Labrador Retriever, a Golden Retriever, and a cat, so I have personal experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services in my hometown, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving pets attention, and keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your furry family members like my own! I’m a full-time pet sitter available on weekends and weekdays after 3 PM. I love spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible and will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover and full-time pet sitter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in loving and dependable hands.

“We felt at peace that our dog Yuki is in good hands. You can really see that Michael and his family genuinely cares for dogs. We boarded Yuki for 2 nights. Michael constantly kept us updated. Yuki was a bit nervous around other dogs but Michael made sure Yuki feels safe and secure during her stay with them.”

“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my precious pup with. Angelica was amazing and Winnie seemed to really enjoy her time with her. She was available with only a 2 week notice and she was very responsive. Without asking, she sent me loads of updates. You could tell Winnie was well taken care of and she enjoyed playing with Angelica’s pups as well. I will definitely use Angelica for any future needs we have!!”

Bruno had so much fun and got the love he needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future to take loving care of my Bruno.”

About: My English Bulldog is my world. Anyone who knows me knows she’s spoiled, adored, and at the center of just about everything I do. She absolutely loves having canine friends around, and while I’m not quite ready to add another dog to our family permanently, I love the idea of giving her the occasional playmate. That’s what inspired me to join Rover. Because of that, my dog’s happiness and safety will always come first. I’m intentional about only accepting dogs who will be a good personality match for her. When the dogs genuinely enjoy each other, everyone has a better experience—including you, knowing your pup is having just as much fun as mine. I work full-time, so I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and date-night dog sitting. I’m not looking to build a large dog-sitting business—I’m simply hoping to create a safe, fun environment for a few wonderful dogs who become familiar faces. As a fellow dog parent, I’m also always searching for someone I trust to care for my own dog when we have plans or travel. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. That’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. While I welcome friendly dogs of all breeds, English Bulldogs will always have VIP status in my home. As a Bulldog mom myself, there’s just something special about the breed. I understand their unique personalities, quirks, and care needs. I work full-time, so my availability is primarily geared toward drop-in visits, evening care, weekend care, and date nights. My goal isn’t to become a full-time pet sitter—it’s to help fellow dog parents when they need someone they can trust while giving my own pup the opportunity to make some great canine friends. Your dog will be treated like one of the family while they’re in my home. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and play, and inside they’re welcome to relax on the furniture right alongside us (if that’s what they’re used to at home!). I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. Because my English Bulldog lives here too, I’ll only accept dogs who are a good personality match so everyone feels safe, comfortable, and has fun together. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with friends—not just being watched

About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️

Viviana took great care of my dog and provided many pictures of Goose exploring her property. I could tell that he was enjoying himself while staying with Viviana. She did an excellent job in communicating with me when I was delayed in my return. I will be using her when I go on my next adventure.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
