About: I have been a pet sitter for family, friends, and friends-of-friends for almost five years now, and I’ve seen it all! I am a true animal lover and wanted to expand my pet sitting opportunities on Rover! I’ve cared for big dogs, small dogs, puppies, and old dogs, as well as young, old, domesticated, and feral cats. I am experienced in administering medicine for both cats and dogs, and have had my fair share of pet emergencies too. To me, transparency is key. I feel confident in my abilities to care for your animal, but I will certainly let you know if there are any issues along the way and we can work through them together. You want what’s best for your furry friend, and so do I :) I work part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to love on and play with your fur babies :) I am completely free from Thursday (after 3pm) to Monday night/Tuesday morning. I work Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00-3:00. My work hours are flexible and I am able to work remotely if necessary. I prefer to meet with the owners before dog or cat sitting overnight, either in person or over the phone. I promise to treat both your pet and your house with respect and kindness :)
About: Hi! I love all kinds of different animals, and have a fair few myself. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. Two of the dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs, and one is strictly outdoor because she doesn't like cats. I have experience with all different sizes and life stages of dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have 10+ acres of land. I do have a part time job as a bather/preper for a groomer in Baxter, TN. But that only takes up a few hours of my day, not giving a lot of time with furbabies other than my own. I look forward to taking care of your pets in whatever way you may need. I'm currently working part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to take care of your furbabies! I'm free every weekend and weekdays after 2pm. Let me help you by taking a little work and worry off your shoulders. I have 10+ acres ready for some exploring! I also have some outdoor toys to entertain the playful babies. I have two playful pups that are always down for company, and one that loves to laze around and sun bathe. I can crate your pet if needed.
About: I work with dogs almost everyday. I have experience with all types of pups. I have experience as I’m currently working a part time job at My 4 Dogs Academy and Spa!! I’m currently off for summer break, but I have experience with dogs from my current job. I’m available after or before my shifts at My 4 Dogs Academy and Spa. I hope to be your pup’s best friend!! 💗🐾 I have a fenced in yard with two big fur-babies! I watch pups very cautiously as you can never know what might happen! Your pup is my main priority!!
“Our giant doofus of a dog loved her. She took care of not only the dog and cat but also two dramatic pigs and two stubborn goats. When we had last-minute scheduling hiccups she was flexible and understanding. We're grateful we found her!”
“Nina is great with all FOUR of our dogs and gives them all the love. She's managed them with ease, gets them fed, some have meds and they can be a handful at times. She's amazing. I feel calm and know they're safe when she's with them ❤️”
“Laura was great with the dogs. She came on short notice and met us and our dogs. She was very friendly and did a great job with our fur babies. We will definitely use her services again. She is highly recommended.”
“Chloe did a super job, pet and house-sitting while we were away. We had daily contact and she readily answered any questions or concerns. We are so grateful to know our pets were well cared for while we were away!!! Thank you Chloe!”
About: I’ve pretty much been taking care of dogs & cats my entire life! I grew up with animals and have always been very passionate about my love for them!

I’m a currently a student, I’m taking classes online. My schedule is pretty much free to care for you pups! I’m very flexible, and looking forward to meeting your pups! I treat your pup as if they were mine! I am very loving, very playful, yet know when to be stern. I love dogs with my entire heart. I am very respectful to your house rules, as far as your home goes and your furbabies!
“Makenna is absolutely amazing! Our pets all loved her. Our cats are afraid of strangers, and always hide. By the second day, they were out letting her pet them. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She left the house spotlessly clean. We will DEFINITELY use her in the future!!”
About: While I may not have professional pet care experience, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I’m excited to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry friend! I am currently take care of two dogs at home: Buddy and Winnie. They are fed, loved on, taken outside to play, and much more. My two dogs are some of my very close family, which I hold dear. They stimulated throughout the day, as well as have time to rest.
“Abbie spent 4 days and 3 nights watching our home and our two babies, Kya and Greta. Greta is a highly active 1 year old German Shepard and Kya is a 7 year old less active Shepard. Abbie kept my wife informed daily with text and pictures, my wife just returned home to find our home in order, well kept and most of all our girls safe and happy!!! Thank you Abbie we’d happy to use you again!!”
About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years. From training puppies to pampering seniors & everything between, I’ve been the go-to for neighbors, friends & family when it comes to their pet care needs. As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks! I work part-time (have those days blocked off my pet care calendar), so I will be able to give 100% of my time to your pet(s). I am available during the day to walk your pet(s), give them a potty break, play with them, feed them, show them attention & so on. I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care! Your dog can hang out with us in my home, or upon your request I can crate your fur baby & take them out for as many walks/potty/play breaks as you’d like.
About: Hi! My name is Beau and I worked for a 1 year with a 24 year old established dog walking and care service. With my time at the company I walked between 7-10 dogs/day as well as puppy and dog sat for clients in their apartments and brownstones overnight (sometimes for multiple nights). I’m good with dogs and love all shapes and sizes. I have spent also the last 10 years dog sitting and walking friend’s dogs. I don’t own one myself so having the opportunity to play with someone else’s beloved pup is very fulfilling for me. I work remotely so I’m very flexible for pet sits. I’m able to travel to you and your pet, and will stay near them if I am sitting. I will keep a close eye if they’re outside, or on a leash if in public. I will make sure they use the bathroom, and eat properly. You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of.
