House Sitting Rutledge

About: I am in my mid 50’s, responsible adult. I’ve had large breed dogs (German shepherds) to small breed (mini pins) and A LOT of cats. I am currently on disability because of Crohn’s disease. I do have an open schedule but my weeks can revolve around Dr appointments and treatments. Everything is booked in advance so I will still know my availability. I do travel out of state sporadically because my wife travels for work. I have no problem getting to and from a clients residence in a timely fashion. I understand pets are like family members and should be cared for in the same manner.

“We had Angela stay with our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town for a funeral. She did a great job, house was nice and tidy when we go back.”

“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”

“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”

“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have my own cat for 10 years while regularly dog sitting for family members over the past decade. Comfortable and experienced with large dogs and providing medicine. I currently work 7 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday but have some flexibility and could happily work a walk or visit in during my lunch, as well as some flexibility with working from home Very respectful about others personal space. Letting a stranger into your home as well as to ensure your pet is cared for and loved is a huge honor and I understand that it requires care and integrity. Happy to help however I can during a pet sit, whether that’s maintaining a clean environment or ensuring your pet can keep a regular routine while you’re away!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve also pet and house sat for numerous families, caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. My husband and I currently have three dogs of our own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Since my husband works from home, our dogs are well cared for while I’m able to dedicate my time and attention to your furry family members. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I strive to provide the same love, consistency, and care that your pets receive when you’re home. Having had a few disappointing experiences with pet sitters myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I’m committed to providing dependable communication, treating your home with respect, and making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and ensure your pets are excited to see me every time I visit. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they can stick to their normal routine and receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or overnight companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, going for walks, or giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it. I’ll make sure doors and gates are locked and pets are safely leashed or contained when needed. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pets are doing well while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention they’re used to at home.

About: I’m experienced in walking and playing with dogs in the evening. Don’t stress about leaving a dog in my care. They will be in excellent care and thoroughly entertained. I’m available after 5:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I have more flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a part-timer on Rover. I can walk, fed, and entertain your pet to make sure they are satisfied. My home is unfortunately not suitable for boarding pets on the regular. I am able to stay with the pet overnight at their home upon request.

About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!

About: I have several years of professional experience working hands on with dogs in boarding, daycare, enrichment, and training environments. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from young puppies learning appropriate manners to senior dogs who need a slower, more individualized approach. My experience includes dog training, enrichment activities, group play supervision, leash handling, feeding and medication routines, recognizing canine body language, and working with dogs who may be nervous, overstimulated, reactive, or simply need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable adapting care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to enjoy or respond to the same things. Most importantly, I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I currently have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and your pet’s comfort are always my priority. My professional experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language, stress signals, behavior changes, and each dog’s individual boundaries. I follow your pet’s established routine and care instructions closely and never force interactions they’re uncomfortable with. Whether your dog is outgoing, nervous, high energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.

About: Not just a pet sitter. We are dog lovers who treat every pup like family. Your dog becomes part of our pack - family atmosphere, loved, played with, and treated as our own. Extra snuggles, cuddles and playtime! I am a full-time stay at home mom blessed with extra help at this time, so your pet will be in wonderful care! No worries. We are pros at multi-tasking and will cater to the needs of your pup. I will strive to stick to your pet's routine. We will supervise and interact as much as you prefer for us to offering playtime and snuggles when needed. Maintaining a low-stress atmosphere and using a crate if they prefer. I can send updates photos and messages daily if requested. Thank you for considering me to keep your pet! :)

About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours volunteering in the community (Knoxville), which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and a few hours of companionship, and I’m also open to overnight stays in a clean and comfortable home. I typically work during the day for about 7 hours, usually from 6 AM–1 PM or 8 AM–3 PM, but I’m happy to stop by before and after work to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they need. I’m respectful of your home, your instructions, and your pet’s boundaries. My experience has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant, and prepared, especially in situations where someone is depending on me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. P.s - MY dog is a RUNNER so don’t worry I know how to make sure they stay inside.
