“Elana was our first experience using Rover and won’t be our last. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of our 10mo Great Dane. She sent us daily updates and spent some extra time giving our boy some love. I highly recommend her and will be sure to seek her out next time we go away, our pup was super happy when we came home and you could tell he wasn’t stressed a bit. Huge relief for us because this was the first time we left him. Thanks Elana!!!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I do work during the week at Blaine Vet. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I will go home to check on the fur babies during lunch. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.
About: Family, friends, neighbors, and roommates have been relying on me to pet sit/ house sit/ baby sit for decades. I have experience with large and small breeds of dogs, cats, and other animals such as ducks, hamsters, gerbils, and tarantula! I am a part-time small business owner. My schedule is quite flexible. I am available for potty breaks and walks day or night. Multiple day house/pet sitting is also doable. I love to cuddle and talk to animals! Play! Feed! Brush! Bathe! Clip nails! Give medicine! I clean up accidents well (including hair balls, spills, pee/poo). I keep general spaces, crates, water and food bowls clean and tidy. I ask questions about caring for your pet as needed. I am happy to follow as detailed or as general of directions and steps as you see fit.
“Kaylea was wonderful with our fur-baby for the week we were gone on vacation. She is great with communication. She is patient and caring with our cat that can be temperamental at times. I highly recommend her!”
“Excellent drop-in service from Allyson! Her communication was amazing and our pup loved her! She went above and beyond and even brought a package inside while we were away so it wouldn’t get rained on. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need a sitter for our pup!”

About: Animals aren't just part of my life - they are my life. I've had pets for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my home with two sweet doggies and four quirky cats, as well as two outdoor feral felines, all of whom are loved and cared for like family. That's exactly how I'll treat your pets too - with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you're away from your pets and I genuinely go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comforted in your absence. Whether it's playtime, belly rubs, medication, or just quiet company, I adapt to your pet's unique personality and needs. Your pets won't just be looked after - they'll be loved. I work full time Monday through Friday so I can care for your fur babies before work and after work and possibly during lunch if needed. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday for care. I can do any tasks needed to care for your fur babies. I can do walks, drop in visits, clean up messes, give belly rubs, or crate them when needed.
About: I have had animals my entire life, I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have small and extra large dogs so I know the care that each size group requires.

I can follow strict regimens regarding food, brushing, bathing, medicine etc. My availability is for weekends only, as I do have a full time position as a Teacher Assistant. I get off work at 12:30 pm every Friday and have every Saturday and Sunday off. My partner works for the Women’s Basketball team at the University of Tennessee and I often take care of their dogs for trips. I know I can easily fit in a few more fur babies to make someone else’s life easier! I have a reliable vehicle to take me to and from your house, as well as a love for exercise for walking your dogs! You and your animals experience with a walker/sitter is my top priority. I understand the fear of being unable to find someone trustworthy to watch your pets, having some of my own. I have a large fenced in yard and still make time to take all 3 dogs on walks to give them the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was six years old, growing up on a farm where animals were part of the family. From high-energy puppies to slow-and-steady senior dogs, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding for dogs at every stage of life. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, overnight care, or a drop-in visit while you’re away, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m especially experienced with senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort, and with puppies still learning the ropes of the world (and potty training!). Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I make sure you’re always updated and at ease while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pup like family! I’m currently working from home, so I’m available to care for your sweet baby at any time. I’m happy to love on your pup as I do my own! I have a fenced in yard with three of my own pups. All three are laid back and easy going, but my lab and beagle mix are great playmates. I am also happy to care for your pups on their own turf as well if they’re not a fan of other dogs.

“Grace is great with pets of any size! Every time we go out of town we ask her to watch our furbabies and she’s always great with them. Celeste is our most finicky baby, and even with her attitude problems Grace is able to navigate her tuxedo-tude. She also has experience with difficult breed dogs and that makes me feel at ease knowing she won’t lose her temper or get angry when animals act like animals. I can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone who is loving and patient with animals, this is your gal!”
