“They treated my Bella girl like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to go while we were out of town! 10/10 highly recommend! They sent photos and gave us updates and I’m so grateful to have found Meaghan and Johnny!!”
“Donna is absolutely the best dog sitter ever! Lucy loves her, Will and her doggie family. When I take her there, I am always confident that she’s getting the best care.”
“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”
“Chili Pepper had a great time with Shume earlier this month. We are new to the area and I wanted a different option for her other than a kennel when I went out of town. Shume was very welcoming and I could tell instantly that Chili Pepper would be very comfortable and have a great time with her. We will definitely use Shume again!”
“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”
“Kira and her husband are absolutely wonderful and are great at taking care of our dog! We were gone for 10 days and they sent pictures every day and our pup seemed to be so happy and enjoyed his time. You can really tell they love to take care of dogs. We really appreciate them!! They were also kind enough to throw in a complimentary bath since our pup got so dirty! This really helped us since we were planning on giving him one anyway, but they went ahead and went above and beyond and helped us out with that! Highly recommended them!!”
“Dalis is always amazing with our pups She is our go-to sitter and our pups love their time with her. Her backyard is the ideal playground and we appreciate the thoughtful picture updates she provides, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. If you need a local sitter, look no further than Dalis…she’s the best!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“This was our puppy's first time to be left away from her home. Alex and his care givers nurtured her the whole time she was there. She seemed to enjoy her stay. This is a well prepared environment for pet sitters. Would absolutely reccomend Alex and his farm to everyone. Our fur baby was well taken care of. I am glad to know that there are places out there that actually care for these pets like their own family.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“This was the first time we used Alex. I am so relieved that we found her! Our dogs stay went well with no issues. Alex seems to be a caring person that loves animals. We are definitely going to keep using her!”
About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I would sit with my friends cat when she would be gone to make sure she didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I currently am not employed. So I have all the time to take care of your pets throughout the week (Monday-Friday). Early mornings for when you need to drop off before work/ school and late evenings to give you some time to get home and ready for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“It's never easy to find a new sitter when you move to a new area. We were so fortunate to find Diane through Rover. Honey is a loving and sweet dog, but nervous about new situations. Diane understood and went the second mile to care for her. What a blessing!”
“We highly recommend Barbara and her husband as the y took great care of our 15 year old senior pup. Our dog has some memory problems at his old age, and Barbara met with us beforehand to allow him to meet her, and also her sweet dog and to allow our dog to visit the house beforehand. During his stay, she kept me updated with photos and quick text updates which I really appreciated. They did a great job making our old pup comfortable for his time with them! We would reuse their service and will recommend them to others!”

My sister has a corgi who I have cared for, and loved for many years now. We love to go on walks together and play fetch. I follow directions very well and dogs really do love me.

I am comfortable around big dogs, small dogs, three legged dogs, all the pups are my favorites. I am free all days Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mondays evenings. I am visiting the area for the entire month with family and would love to spend some time with some lovely pets!! And make some money 😉 I cannot take care of pets in my own home, but would feel comfortable being in their usually space with them, hopefully having stuff to play with them with!

“Bekah was so wonderful with both of our cats! The pictures were adorable and I could tell both Ann (the usually hesitant older kitty) and George (the rambunctious young kitty) we’re both comfortable and happy during her visits! Wonderful care! Will definitely be asking Bekah to care for them again!”
“First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!”
“We loved having Valerie stay with our pets while we were on vacation. She was so good with our cat and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely book with her again for our next vacation!”

About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”

“Left my dog with him for daycare for two days and felt very comfortable doing so. He gave me updates throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures on the first day. He also worked with my crazy work schedule. He seems very knowledgeable about dogs and very loving of the dogs he watches. I will definitely be using him again.”

About: Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️ My schedule is very open so I am always home. I do all of my college work online so I’m open schedule most of the time! I do not keep my dog in a crate, but I do hourly potty breaks (or more if needed for that specific animal) and I do allow my dog on my bed occasionally.
About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

“Colleen was able to watch Sully for doggy daycare very last minute! When I picked up Sully he was very happy and acting himself. Colleen was a good communicator and sent me updates throughout the day. I felt great about Sully being cared for her!”
About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.

“This is my second time bringing my dog to daycare with Kira & Carter. I plan to keep coming back! She let me know they’ve been enjoying my pup. He seemed happy when I picked him up too!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for about 5 years now. From dogs to cats and hamsters. I’ve always been the designated pet sitter for my neighbors and family! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available any days of the week, and can work around any time you prefer! Pets will all have a clean and calm environment as I have no pets at my house and just one baby. They will take frequent potty breaks and walks. Food and water will always be out and available to them. I will provide updates and pictures throughout the day!

“My 2 dogs looked like they had a blast playing with Megan’s dogs! They were WORE out after their 12 hour stay. She took great care of them and was very communicative about how they were doing while I was gone.”

“Lauren was amazing. She tired out my baby on his walk, she walked the full time. Showed up on time. Talked with me about concerns I had with walking. We shared stories about our babies. She loved on all of my babies. And she talked to me about how I can do better with my pup with walks and things since he is my first! I will definitely be using her again if she’ll have me and Scout!”
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️
“Kristen was very kind with me and Marley! She was punctual and took time and dedication to walk Marley because he was in training and I just had surgery. I will definitely use again and my furbaby was very comfortable with her.”
About: I have many years of personal and work experience with pets. I have worked at a boarding facility/ doggy daycare as well as gone to houses to take care of clients pets and they have came to mine. I have a goldendoodle and a German Shepherd as well as a special needs cat! I love all animals, big or small. I have done clinical work at a local veterinary hospital. I know how to easily administer liquid or pill form medication to dogs and cats. I will offer dog walking, in home visits, doggy day care, and some boarding. Your pet will be sure to have so much fun with us! I would love to take care of your pet just as I take care of my own!
About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

“Melanie is wonderful! Prompt, polite, and so kind-hearted! I will definitely ask her to walk our big dog again. I’m always nervous meeting new dog-sitters, but I’m so glad I took a chance! :)”
About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 3 years training dogs and currently foster for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, I’ve got you covered! I currently work a flexible schedule where I can block off specific times if needed. My husband is home during the week and gone several weekends, but when we are in town we both love to take the pups on rides in the car (if they enjoy it). We love to get out and walk or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 3+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.

“They treated my Bella girl like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to go while we were out of town! 10/10 highly recommend! They sent photos and gave us updates and I’m so grateful to have found Meaghan and Johnny!!”
“Chili Pepper had a great time with Shume earlier this month. We are new to the area and I wanted a different option for her other than a kennel when I went out of town. Shume was very welcoming and I could tell instantly that Chili Pepper would be very comfortable and have a great time with her. We will definitely use Shume again!”
“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”
“Kira and her husband are absolutely wonderful and are great at taking care of our dog! We were gone for 10 days and they sent pictures every day and our pup seemed to be so happy and enjoyed his time. You can really tell they love to take care of dogs. We really appreciate them!! They were also kind enough to throw in a complimentary bath since our pup got so dirty! This really helped us since we were planning on giving him one anyway, but they went ahead and went above and beyond and helped us out with that! Highly recommended them!!”
“Dalis is always amazing with our pups She is our go-to sitter and our pups love their time with her. Her backyard is the ideal playground and we appreciate the thoughtful picture updates she provides, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. If you need a local sitter, look no further than Dalis…she’s the best!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“This was our puppy's first time to be left away from her home. Alex and his care givers nurtured her the whole time she was there. She seemed to enjoy her stay. This is a well prepared environment for pet sitters. Would absolutely reccomend Alex and his farm to everyone. Our fur baby was well taken care of. I am glad to know that there are places out there that actually care for these pets like their own family.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“This was the first time we used Alex. I am so relieved that we found her! Our dogs stay went well with no issues. Alex seems to be a caring person that loves animals. We are definitely going to keep using her!”
About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I would sit with my friends cat when she would be gone to make sure she didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I currently am not employed. So I have all the time to take care of your pets throughout the week (Monday-Friday). Early mornings for when you need to drop off before work/ school and late evenings to give you some time to get home and ready for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!
“We highly recommend Barbara and her husband as the y took great care of our 15 year old senior pup. Our dog has some memory problems at his old age, and Barbara met with us beforehand to allow him to meet her, and also her sweet dog and to allow our dog to visit the house beforehand. During his stay, she kept me updated with photos and quick text updates which I really appreciated. They did a great job making our old pup comfortable for his time with them! We would reuse their service and will recommend them to others!”
“This is the second time Gus has stayed with Jessica and Jeffrey and again, he was well taken care of. He was excited the minute we walked in the door! He got plenty of outdoor time, went on walks, took cozy naps and played with his friend Joey! We got updates with pictures daily and seeing him happy made it easier to be away from him. We don’t worry about him while we are gone because we know he is in good hands!”
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“Joyceline was awesome! She sent so many photos so that I could see how my dog was doing all the time without asking. Coco enjoyed her time there and was made to feel at home. I would definitely use her services again! She is also very responsive when you contact her.”
“Alexandra made us feel completely comfortable leaving our puppy with her! I loved that she sent pics & kept us updated during our puppy’s stay with her. She treated our puppy like she was her own & even gave her a bath!! Highly recommend 🤗”
