House Sitting in Sugar Grove

“Chloe stayed with our pups overnight through a weekend away and did a great job at keeping me updated on the dogs and sending photos. Would not hesitate to ask Chloe to stay with our dogs again.”

About: I have been caring for other people’s animals since I was a teenager and have been around all types since I was very young. From dogs to cats to ferrets to fish, I have cared for them all! Young or old or even a little special, I’ll treat them all as my own ♥️ My schedule has recently opened up quite a bit so I can provide more care for my current and new pet owners. I have two cats of my own that I take care of and divide my time during the week between them and my other pet sitting critters. I’m more than happy to stay with pets in the home for an extended amount of time or even just to check in and play with them ♥️ I normally will go to the client’s home and care for their fur babies there. I often will ask them to provide a list of details on what needs to be done, where things are located, and if there’s any additional information I need to know in regards to their pets (ex: vet info, medications, behavior). The more details I have, the better I can care for your fur babies!

About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.

“Caterina was wonderful!! She sent me pictures daily of my little babies, she was responsive, and just all around very sweet. I would recommend her to anyone and I definitely had peace of mind knowing she was caring my babies!!”

“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic! This my first time booking through rover and she made the whole process easy and put any anxieties I had at ease. My American Bully loved her right away! She is very communicative and sent lots of pictures to let me know my fur baby was happy and taken care of. She even refreshed the water in my fresh cut flowers and brought packages in. I will definitely be rebooking with Stephanie in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Monica! I live in Oak Ridge and absolutely love meeting new pets of all breeds and personalities. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at once and have experience with a variety of breeds including Chows, Boxers, Labradors, Great Danes, and Labradoodles. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime in the yard, or little adventures, I make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved. I’m also experienced with medication schedules and special care needs—one dog I watched had thyroid issues and needed medication at the same time every day, so I know how important consistency is for their health and comfort. I work from home, which means I’m super flexible and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home so I can be super flexible, especially if your dog needs medication at a certain time of the day or week. I care for pets in their home by following their regular routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and keeping their space clean and safe. I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my own home.

About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.

About: Growing up, I was the kid that would rather hang out with my pets than go hang out with other kids. I spend just about all day every day with animals, and that’s how I prefer it. I currently work in veterinary medicine and have 2 dogs and 2 rabbits of my own. If I am not with my own pups or at work, I am probably volunteering at an animal shelter. I have worked with all types of dogs, and have a soft spot for the knuckleheads, they’re usually just misunderstood in my opinion. I’d love to hang out with your furry friend, if I would like the right fit, I’d love to meet them! My top priority is making sure my pets aren’t just “cared” for, but truly loved and happy. Different pets have different needs & that is okay! There is no one size fits all in pet care. Some dogs are fine being couch potatoes, others want to explore every tree they can find!! I want to take care of pets how they need, not in whatever way is most convenient. I want to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. Whether that is slow introductions or meeting with LOTS of treats. Their wellbeing is my top priority. Pets are truly family members and deserved to be cared for just as much. I strive to listen to pet parents and understand their pets quirks to help make it the best experience possible for all.

“Wendy was excellent with Bodhi and Grace and took care with my home. She shared multiple updates on the dogs, walked them, and was flexible. I highly recommend Wendy and will use her again.”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in the past including one currently and have a lot of experience caring for them. I’ve cared for dogs for multiple years. If I am not home I have another household members that is able to take care of your pet as needed. Other than that I am able to be with the pets as much as possible. I am currently on summer vacation until I start college in the fall so, I will have tubs of free time. I have a fenced yard with one friendly pet to keep your pet company. I can crate your pet if needed, including my own if they do not get along. I’m currently in college and working part-time so when I am not home there are other household members there to make your pet is taken care of. I have a fenced hard in my home that I will usually let the dogs run around a play for a little bit through out the day.

“Chelsea is awesome! Super attentive, great communication and lots of pics and updates. She was really sweet to my babies giving them lots of love. Will definitely use again!”

Michele D.

“Kristen took care of our boy while we were on vacation - we came home to a happy, healthy, well-exercised dog. We didn’t have to worry at all with him in her hands!”

Sarah S.

“Alyssa was fantastic. She took great care of our very active and social gsp. Before our trip our dog got into something she shouldn’t have, and was experiencing digestive issues. Alyssa was very flexible with adjusting the dog’s meals and kept us updated on our pups improvements. She sent appropriate updates and pictures during her time. She left the house clean and tidy. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

“Madeline arrived on time and took great care of my pets. She spent time with them and cuddled with my dogs. I received pictures of them while she was staying with them. My house was left tidy and pets were happy. I would love for Madeline to house/pet sit for me any time.”

About: I grew up around different breeds, sizes, and temperament types of dogs. I’ve also helped manage a Dog Boarding and Day care facility. It’s a job I truly enjoy, and the best part, owners get a vacation!(: People in my life I know that have small dogs, and big dogs, I enjoy dog sitting whenever they go out, or are gone on trips I have a fenced yard, and live on a farm. No children and I will be the only one home during the sitting. I am very attentive and love playing outside with furry friends!

About: I love to take dogs on walk and play with them as much as possible. I know most dogs need a good routine to stay calm in their environment while their owners are out. I will do whatever the owner asks to make sure the dog is cared for properly and has the best time when in my care. I hope to bond and meet many different types of amazing dogs I currently have a wide open schedule and can accommodate different times of day for your dog or pets needs. Day or night I can make it work I make sure their pet is completely comfortable with a cool room and plenty of water/food. Treats when they are being well behaved. Fun activities like fetch and walks throughout the day as long as the pet is up for it!

“Though Kaela is new to Rover, it is obvious that she has a great deal of experience with caring for animals. As a house-sitter for our two dogs over 4 days, we couldn't even tell she was there. She communicated well and took great care of the pups, even going above and beyond by taking our youngest, Callie, to the dog park twice during her stay. Kaela was professional and showed a true compassion for our dogs. We highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Tierra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by everything from tiny chihuahuas and yorkie-poos to loyal German shepherds—and not just dogs! My childhood was filled with the love and responsibility of caring for cats, pigs, goats, chickens, pigeons, dwarf hamsters, and even saltwater fish. Safe to say, animals aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life. Currently, I live with my fiancé on a beautiful 27-acre property. While our rental allows pets, we’ve decided to wait until we buy our first home to adopt our first dog together. It’s a decision based on giving a future pet the absolute best life possible—but I miss being around animals more than words can say. That’s why I’d love nothing more than to pour all that love and attention into your pets in the meantime. I’m trustworthy, loving, honest, and reliable—and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a calm companion, or a patient caregiver, I’m here to give them all the affection and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to feel peace of mind when you’re away, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are not only safe, but happy and loved while you’re gone. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! 🧡 I took some time away from Rover during a busy season of life, but now I’m back and thrilled to be spending my time doing what I love—caring for animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I truly love it and make it a priority. I’m currently in nursing school, but I manage my time well and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to the pets I watch. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I plan my day around giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Caring for animals brings me so much peace and joy—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. My fiancé also loves animals and is always happy to help love on and care for any pets staying with us, especially while I’m in class. Between the two of us, your pet will be surrounded by plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care. Every pet is unique, so I do my best to follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and happy—whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and stress-free by keeping things consistent. I’ll follow feeding schedules, take them on their usual walks or play sessions, give medication if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and treat your home as I would my own. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will enjoy a quiet, spacious environment with lots of room to explore (we’re on 27 acres!). While we haven’t adopted a pet of our own yet, our home is cozy, calm, and full of love to give. Whether they’re snuggling on the couch or getting fresh air outside, I’ll make sure your pet feels like part of the family. No matter the service, my goal is to create a safe, loving experience that gives you total peace of mind.

About: You can expect love and compassion when it comes to your fur babies. I know dogs need patience, like children, and need attention as well. I love to play with doggies and watch them have a great time. I don't have my own yard but there are wonderful parks I could take them to or whatever you feel comfortable with. I am always available as I am a stay at home mom. I spent my whole life growing up taking care of animals from horses and donkeys to birds, dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm, lol. I'm very used to routine, especially with animals, and providing excellent care and attention. Don't worry, I will treat your child like my own. After all, our pets are our family.
