House Sitting Somerville

About: I am a former K9 handler of the United States Air Force. I like to keep my home loving, safe, sanitary, and fun! I have 6+ years of experience in caring and training dogs. I live in Somerville, TN and work at the Somerville Animal Hospital 10 minutes away. I check on my dogs every day I work for my lunch break M-F. I stay at home on the weekends unless I am running errands. My pets are 75% outside and 25% inside dogs at the moment. They will be inside during heat season and outside during winter because their breed. I make individual care plans depending on the breed and what the individual canine is used to.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, rabbits, and hamsters, I provide loving, reliable pet care. I foster for MAS and rescue strays, and I’ve been house sitting for pets for 15 years. I will ensure your home is respected, I will bring your mail and packages in as well as taking out the garbage can when needed. I have no problem cleaning out turtle tanks, small animal enclosures, and more! I promise your pet will be treated as my own and showered in affection. I am Student Nurse and I am trained in various forms of emergency care. Your babies will be in good hands! I am a Nursing Student in the medical district. I am available to do drop ins, walks, play dates, and more. I believe in keeping pets at home when their family is away. I find that animals are less stressed this way as opposed to being in a new environment alone. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced with oral, topical, and injectable treatments and always follow your exact instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Tatum took our house sitting position on a rather short notice, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Tatum gave periodical updates and never left us guessing or worrying, especially after we have had a poor experience using the app before. When we arrived home after our short trip, our home was clean and our animals were happy and healthy. We would be very happy if Tatum would dog/house sit for us in the future”

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds, especially cats. I have experience caring for my kitty that had cancer, including providing subcutaneous fluids, medications/fluids/food through a feeding tube, and administering liquid, capsule, tablet, and transdermal medications. I also have experience with other feline medical issues, such as chronic urinary blockages and feline asthma. Further, I have never lived in a home without a dog, and have a background in animal behavior, training, grooming, and health. I have no problem providing medications to any animals and have experience with seniors. I love dogs of all sizes, especially huge dogs! I am available 24/7 and am extremely flexible with scheduling! I am fully self-employed and I have an extremely open schedule. I have no problem with short-notice cancellations or applications, and will almost always be able to take on your request! I will fully adapt to you and your pet’s schedule. My job is to maintain your pet’s wellbeing and enrichment, so that is what I’m there to do!

“Ty did an amazing job! We have quite a house full of dogs and cats and she was able to manage all of them beautifully. All my dogs couldn’t get enough love and attention from her while she was at our home. Ty has a natural gift when it comes to caring for animals and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone needing a house sitter for your fur babies!”

“This was our first, but definitely not the last, time we will use Presley to take care of the dogs, cats, chickens and pigeons. Everything went exactly as we had hoped. 5 stars for sure!”

About: Over 10 years of pet care experience with dogs, cats, and more. I’ve cared for everything from dachshunds and German shepherds to many different Cats! Friends, family, and former coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, cuddle, and overnight-sit their pets with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I’m fully available for overnight stays, extended house sitting, and daily care. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family — because that’s exactly what they are. I currently live with two dogs — a poodle and a Doberman mix — so your pet will be in a comfortable, animal-friendly environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, dietary needs, and personality. Whether it’s medication schedules, feeding times, or extra cuddles, I make sure every animal feels safe and loved.

“Julia took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were out of town for over a week. We arrived home to happy, calm, content pets and a beautifully clean house. We appreciated her thoughtful pictures and updates about how our girls were doing in her care. She also helped our nervous pups feel comfortable faster than any other petsitter (or visitor of any kind!) has in the past. Thank you again, Julia! You're the best.”

I would love to help care for your sweet babies whenever the time comes🩷 I currently work a part-time job at a nutrition shop! I usually work during the day, so no biggie if you need a night sitter! I am comfortable doing anything asked in your home! Whether it’s kenneling up or free roaming. I can walk them if you don’t have a fence or let them play in the yard!

About: I have had beloved pets of all kinds. Wonderful family dogs, cats, pigs, emus, goats, cows, horses, rabbits and a duck. I've spent my whole life seeking out strays or unwanted animals and giving them the love that they so freely give and deserve. I can handle any size or temperament...so far, lol. I am currently not working, so I have 100% availability to take care of your fur babies and keep them one hundred percent safe and happy! I have 50 acres that are not fenced and a 1/2 acre that is fenced and gated. I have a large home with an open living area, hardwood and tile. So no mistake is unfixable! my beloved mastiff passed away at the age of 13 last month, so I currently have no animals. Soon to change. God Bless! Use code “ALAYNB47183” to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover! This is my only job, so I have 24/7 to devote to these sweet babies. Having grown up on this farm, I love working with animals sunrise to sunset They are allowed all over the house. On furniture and in the beds, if mommy and daddy approve. I keep each pup separate, just to be safe. Use code “ALAYNB47183” to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover!

“Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!”

About: Growing up in a heavily animal-oriented household, I fell in love with caring for animals of all kinds. With a mother who is a professional groomer and previously a vet tech, I was exposed to dogs and animals of all breeds, temperaments, ages, and more. I have been taking on animal sitting “gigs” for as long as I can remember, and love every animal I meet! I am versed in different medical care and always willing to learn anything to help. I currently work full time with dogs on a daily basis, but love to fit in extra care when I can. I am often available for house visits, overnight visits, and more! Ideally for overnight visits, the pup/pet would be okay for 8 hours at a time due to work, but always willing to be flexible or work around as best I can. I love getting to care for pet’s in their own home, as it adds an extra level of comfort for them. I love learning their routines and following a structure that is familiar to them to make things a little less stressful!

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

About: Hi my name is Steve I'm a 58-year-old retired male who has had pets my whole life. I have been providing over-night pet/house sitting for 20 plus years with many repeat customers. I have provided stays from a "long week-end" to 7 weeks at time. I am trustworthy and dependable on each and every job. I believe its easier for pets to get more comfortable with a new person rather then a new environment. Pets also love their routines so following them is very important to me. Some of my included duties are mail collection, garbage collection, plant watering, and keeping your pets and home safe while your away. If this sounds interesting to you please contact me, references upon request. I'm retired, so I'm available for 24/7 pet care in your home, so your pets dont spend too much time alone. I will give constant attention as needed, to make sure they know they are special. I believe in keeping with your pet's routines, from waking up, playtime, feeding, and to bedtime. I also believe its easier for pet to get used to a new person instead of a new environment.

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

“We love having Magnolia watch our pets in our house when we’re out of town. One of our cats has a health issue and we feel so comfortable with Magnolia watching her. When we got home the kitties were happy, bowls were full, and house was clean. Thank you!!”
