House Sitting Telford

“Came on time and stayed the time booked. Played with my dogs outside enough to give them the exercise they needed. Took care of my dogs and house, even washed my dogs dishes and feeder toys (unexpected and appreciated).”

Ashley C.

“Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.”

Angela H.

“Taylor was amazing! The pets loved her, she kept us updated and was very respectful of our home. 100% would book with her again.”

Bree G.

“Kendal was amazing. My dog loved her immediately and she made me feel comfortable leaving him. She was so sweet and attentive and sent pictures everyday. She was very responsive and left my house just as she found it. I will definitely be requesting her again!”

Lauren G.

“Danielle was incredible! Our Max has separation anxiety and can be a challenge. Danielle used her years of experience to recommend the best situation for all of us as we needed to go out of town for a night. She sent us pictures and updates several times during our time away. When we got home Max was so happy and you could tell he had been well taken care of. As pet owners, we are over the moon. Also, before Danielle, we did not feel comfortable with putting Max in boarding and it limited our ability to travel. We have a new found freedom and will definitely use Danielle again. She is highly recommended!”

“Opal did a great job watching our girl Ivy and our home. She was easy to reach and quick to respond. She met all my requests. I am appreciative for her services!”

Amber G.

“Alyssa was so wonderful with our two dogs. She came over for a meet and greet and was always quick to respond. She sent updates and comforted our pups through the fireworks. We would love to use Alyssa again!”

Nora M.

“Thomas did a great job with Jojo. She instantly took to him and they bonded quickly. Thomas had a great level of communication and definitely made sure my little girl was taken care of.”

About: What sets me apart from other Rover sitters is my specialized experience in both puppy training and senior pet care. I am skilled in positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring that young dogs develop good habits early on. Additionally, I provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to senior pets’ unique needs, including administering medications and supporting mobility. My dedication to personalized, loving attention ensures every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I’m currently working part-time remotely , so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! Right now I’m available 24/7 because I am saving to having a child! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being. I maintain feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and engage in playtime and exercise. I respect the pets' routines, offer companionship, and keep their environment clean. I communicate regularly with clients, updating them on their pets’ health and behavior, ensuring peace of mind while they're away.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been blessed to love and care for pups of all ages — from energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and attention. Growing up around dogs taught me more than just the basics of feeding and walking. It taught me how to read their body language, understand their different personalities, and recognize when they need comfort, space, playtime, or reassurance. Every dog is different, and I truly respect that. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. They’re family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, sticking closely to their routine, or just quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for your fur babies. My schedule is very open, so I’m available most days and times to provide attentive, loving care. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job outside of the home, your pet won’t be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly enjoy being home and caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. 🐶💛 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications, and bedtime habits — because I know consistency helps reduce stress. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and rest. Since I stay home, they’re rarely left alone and always have someone nearby to make them feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure feeding instructions, walk schedules, medications, and any special care needs are followed exactly as requested. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal in either setting is the same — to treat your fur baby like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Lydia was great with our pups and we won't hesitate to use her services again. She sent daily pictures of our babies and I could tell they were content and happy. She even took one of our pups with her on a car ride to pick up food (he loves car rides and she did have our permission). She sent pics of him and I could tell he was loving it! Lydia was very quick to answer texts and she was easy to communicate with. She left the house in great condition and we already have her booked for May. I highly recommend Lydia and I don't think anyone that hires her will be disappointed with her services.”

Beverly L.

“Deanna had great communication with us. She sent pictures as well as update updates. She spent time with all animals and she left the house clean. I would love to have her sit with dogs again.”

Monica R.

“Gwendolyn was friendly and very experienced with pets. She took great care of our fur babies & home while we were away. She kept in touch each day so we had no worries. Our fur babies & home looked great when we returned. I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and we will definetly use her services again!”

About: I have cared for pets of all ages over the years and adopted a pup of my own about two years ago. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and loves other dogs. I have experience with giving medications to animals, caring for both puppies and older pups, and my apartment is hardwood floors so accidents aren’t a problem! I am a graduate assistant and in grad school. This means that I word pretty weird hours and I do a lot of work remotely. I’m home anywhere between 8 hours to 24 hours a day and can rearrange my schedule depending on the needs of the animal. There is a dog park nearby and it’s a safe area. For my pup, and pups I’ve boarded/cared for before, I traditionally feed them in the AM and give them plenty of water. We go to the dog park to start the day and get the energy out. I make sure to leave dog-safe toys on the floor so they know they have stuff to play with and I dog proof the apartment before I leave each time so they don’t get into things they shouldn’t. We go out later in the day to the dog park again to socialize or get the zoomies going. We go back and have a little more food or a snack and then hang out before going out on a walk to end the day. I'm working full-time in ministry so I have lots of time throughout the day to care for your loved one and will be gone no more than a few hours per evening for bible studies and groups. I take my dog, Tonka, out 5-6 times per day minimum and we love to go on walks and be outdoors. I have a large field directly behind my apartment and live in a very pet-friendly area tucked off the main road so your pup will enjoy lots of safe and supervised outside time! I allow animals on the furniture and keep all choking hazards up high. My dog has a knack for finding even the smallest things to mess with so I have good practice with keeping a safe home.

“Hailey was exceptional!! She was on time, communicative, and extremely respectful. She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I definitely would highly recommend her.”

“Margaret was great and professional. She provided updates with photos and videos of our pet. Our puppy was well taken care of!”

Jessica E.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats! I’ve cared for a paralyzed senior boxer who couldn’t do anything to a young, spry puppy, even goats and chickens! I love all kinds of animals! I’ve also worked at a veterinarian for a while! I’m currently home from college so I have lots of free time! I don’t currently have a summer job but if I do it’ll only be part time! I take dogs out on a leash or if you’re comfortable with them going off leash I’ll walk with them! I feed them based off of your usual feeding schedule! I will always try and keep them on their normal routine!

“Excellent service. The puppies had absolutely nothing bad to say about Jennifer. On time, every time. Great communication and pictures. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.
