“I liked Lauren immediately and her home is such a haven for dogs! She took time to slowly acclimate my pup to the other dogs and was super responsive while I was away. It was my pup’s first boarding experience and I think he had a great time! I will definitely book Lauren again.”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Whatever word is better than amazing, that’s what she is! She and her family made my furbaby feel so much at home and loved on her just as I do!! I got updates with photos and videos which is so very thoughtful. Stephanie went above and beyond keeping my Mercy longer when our flights home were canceled. Stephanie will forever be someone that I recommend to family and friends!”
“Nancy and Stan continue to be our go to because they’re responsive, keep us updated, and they’re so accommodating with our one high needs dog. Highly recommend!”
“We love using Brandi. She sends picture updates daily and lets us know how our pup is doing. Sadie loves going to stay with Brandi’s family, playing and snuggling with her dog and her kids.”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Tish takes fantastic care of Baxter. She is like a second mom to him. She sends us updates which are a real treat when we are away. Baxter loves going to see Tish.”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“We were a little worried when we needed to do a long trip away from our dog, but we found this amazing family that took a great care of Samy and gave him extra love throughout the storms when he needed! We were so happy Samy spent the time with them! And we are so lucky to know we can count on them for future occasions! Thank you so much, we are beyond grateful!! ❤️”
“We were nervous about introducing our elderly pup, Bear, to a new boarding situation but with his mobility issues, taking him on trips just isn’t feasible any more, Jaxen assuaged those fears quickly, and took such fantastic care of him! Apparently, the specialized in elderly dog care. Bear was a happy, relaxed boy when we came back. We will definitely be utilizing Jaxen again.”
“Jamie and her daughter were beyond fantastic. our dog Sammy has never been treated so well. we got an incredible amount of pictures and the love that Jamie and her daughter gave to our Sammy really warmed our hearts. we look forward to our next trip to Chattanooga and Sammy. Can’t wait to stay with them again.”
“Our dog Lola had a great week with Pam!! We got updates and pictures most every day and Lola was so well cared for while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and leaving Lola in someone else’s care other than at home with family so we were so thrilled with how well everything went. We will definitely be using Pam again! Thanks!!”
“Kristen takes such good care of Buddy. She treats him like one of her dogs and is great about sending pics throughout his stay. She is our go to person when we need a sitter for him.”
“Crista took such good care of my pup Peanut! I was worried because it was my first time boarding her, but she seemed to feel comfortable around Crista and her family immediately. Crista clearly puts so much care and effort into her pet sitting work, and I would highly recommend booking with her. Peanut will definitely be back!”
“Stephanie is the best sitter ever, I’m so thankful for her care and dedication with my very energetic puppy. Lila always enjoy to stay over there and play with her dogs and cats, it’s literally a vacation for her. Thank you so much Stephanie.”
“Took great care of my boxer Dolly! Very communicative and clear with instructions. Sent daily photos and videos which put me at ease, as it was the first time being away from Dolly. She really took to their dogs in the best way. Highly recommend, and will be a return customer if needed in the future!”
“Megan and Chris were a fabulous dog-sitting duo right from the beginning, with a prompt reply and super easy communication. They thoughtfully offered to answer any questions I had before booking. I received lots of reassuring photos, text updates, and even a couple videos while I was away from my four-legged baby. Tessa came home a bit worn out after a long weekend of playing with other dogs and exploring the fenced yard at M&C’s place.”
“I'd rate 10 stars if I could. George and his family took excellent care of my dog. They were incredibly accommodating. Their dog is so well behaved, I knew from the start it was going to be good. All my expectations were met and exceeded. When I came to pick my pup up, he was happy to see me, but otherwise calm and relaxed. I am so pleased.”

“All I can say is Stephanie provides fantastic care, and this is why we have used her services several times now. With Stephanie comes peace of mind knowing that she will go above and beyond to provide excellent care for our pets.”
About: My husband and I both grew up in homes with several animals. We have been dog sitting together since we first got married. We love dogs and have our own Great Pyrenees, Anatolian shepherd, and black lab. Our children have grown up with dogs and absolutely adore them. I am a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I typically am only gone from the house for a couple hours at a time. We are available on most weekdays and weekends. We have multiple fenced in pastures where your dog can explore. There is plenty of fenced in areas to choose from for outdoor play. We also have a wonderful area for a walks on the bluff. I love a good running buddy. We have a small homestead with chickens sheep pigs cows and our own dog and cats.
“Jamie came to our home and took care of our animals. It was a last minute trip so Jamie had very little notice but was still able to do in home visits with our pets. She kept us updated the entire time and our pets were very relaxed when we came back from our trip. We would recommend Jamie. We will use Jamie again!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life around animals, we had 2 Great Pyrenees and 2 Pitbull/Mastiff Mixes. I absolutely loved caring for them and playing with them. I dog sat all throughout highschool into college and now that I’m settled down in my own house I’ve realized how much I miss it! So I’m getting started on Rover hoping I can help care for your pups when you aren’t able to while doing something I love! I have a toddler and a 1 year old Blackmouth Curr/Terrier mix named Nala. Nala is the absolute sweetest and thrives around other dogs. I do ask that for boarding that your pup is good around other dogs and children! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler and my pup! So I have the free time to be able to help with yours 😊 I have a very large fenced in yard and lots of room to take dogs out for walks and to play! If I am sitting or walking at your home I always make sure to keep notes as to what rules you have or what your pups routine is.
“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”
“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
“So far my experience has been that Pilgrim, my spoiled 16 yr old with kidney problems, is in safe and trystworthy hands with Emilee. She follows instructions confidently, writes wonderful feedback about her visit, and takes great pictures for Pilgrim's Rover card. I feel very very lucky that Emilee lives close by and is my catsitter of choice! She is a thoughtful, mature, cheery young lady. Thanks!!!”
“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”
About: I grew up on an acreage surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, chickens, bees, and just about everything in between! Caring for animals has been a normal part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m a young adult who loves people, animals, and adventure. Outside of pet sitting I have worked in EMS, have served as a pastor, and am currently pursuing my masters in humanitarian aid. Those experiences have taught me to be dependable, compassionate, attentive, and calm when unexpected things happen. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so if your dog wants long walks, playtime, or an adventure buddy, I’m all in. And if your pet would rather curl up on the couch and have some company, I’m pretty great at that too! Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family. I’ll care for your pets (and your home!) with the same kindness and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My schedule is flexible, which makes pet sitting a great fit for me! I’m careful to accept bookings where I know I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so I absolutely love getting to spend time with other people’s animals. I’m active and outdoorsy, so walks, playtime, and adventures fit naturally into my day—but I’m just as happy hanging out at home and keeping your pet company. When I accept a booking, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine works well with my schedule so they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special routines I’m comfortable providing, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure everything is kept clean, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Every animal is different, so I’m always happy to learn their quirks, favorite activities, routines, and boundaries and adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.
About: I’ve cared for cats both as a previous cat owner and while pet sitting, and I’m comfortable with cats of all personalities. I understand that some cats enjoy lots of attention while others prefer quiet companionship, and I’m happy to care for them at their own pace. I regularly farm-sit for my stepsister, where I care for both an indoor cat and an outdoor barn cat in addition to her dogs, ducks, and chickens. My responsibilities include feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter, checking on the outdoor cat, providing playtime and affection, and making sure each cat is healthy, safe, and comfortable. Caring for senior dogs, energetic young dogs, giant breed working dogs, cats, and farm animals has made me dependable, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing loving, reliable care while you’re away.
“JaNiya is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She had clear and daily communication, fulfilled all of my requests, and went above and beyond by being flexible with my arrival/departure times. My cats are extremely happy with their experience and so am I! :) Will 100% be booking with her again.”
“I requested a last minute stay from Madison and she was able to save the day and watch our house and kitty cat. She sent photo updates of my kitty and was very nice house guest. She made sure to clean our home and asked questions when necessary.”
About: I have owned pets my entire life. They are like kids to me. They are treated with respect and care equivalently so. I like pets more than humans. 😆 I own my own business and I work from home. I set my own schedule. I am very flexible. This allows me to give your pet lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have a Pet door into the yard so they can come and go freely, when they have the “need”.
About: My approach to cats is simple — I respect their space and their rhythm. Most of the cats I’ve cared for over the years have preferred quiet consistency over attention, and that suits my temperament well. I focus on keeping their environment steady — fresh food and water, clean litter, and a calm presence that doesn’t disrupt their routine. I’ve found that cats tend to warm up on their own terms when you don’t force interaction. I’m patient, observant, and mindful of subtle changes in behavior or appetite that could signal something off. Whether they choose to stay distant or keep me company while I’m there, I make sure they’re cared for and comfortable.
“Dessire has been so kind and thoughtful, sending us pictures of our sweet cats. We evacuated for Hurricane Ida & we’ve been worried about what to do with our cats & she’s been amazing. Thank you!”
“Accepted request last minute for the holidays, was very informative with updates and even went out of her way to assist with providing a necessity for my pup! Very pleased and will hopefully be using in the future!”

“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”
“Stephanie, Patrick, and Colton were amazing. They were flexible with their time, SO great to chat with, and my dog loved his short visit. He’s already asking for more time with his new friends. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Even on rainy days Justin makes sure Bruno has a good time! Whether he is chilling with a chew toy or playing with other pups, my boy gets exactly what he needs.”

“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“This was our first time trying Rover for day care and Beth was perfect. She had a huge fenced in yard for Myles to go out. He usually naps for 3 hours or more a day but he was having too much fun to sleep. When I picked him up, he was worn out. He went home and slept 14 hours. We will be going back to Beth.”
“Excellent.. really cares for our pup...even on rainy days she’s not afraid to take care of our 85 lb girl in the house ha. Can’t say enough good things.. . She has become a regular...”
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”
About: I’m a 46year-old pet lover with no kids of my own—my heart belongs to Oly, my service-trained Aussie Doodle! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love and understanding of our furry friends. As the owner of an online business, I work from home and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and play. Whether it’s fun adventures, learning new skills, or cozy downtime, your pup will get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while they’re with me! Oly is fully trained off leash, and gets along with dogs, cats, and kids. He comes with me to sit. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to your puppy’s needs throughout the day. My own dog is fully trained and comfortable around all kinds of animals, so your pup will have a calm and friendly environment to thrive in. I provide comprehensive care for my own dog by grooming and trimming his hair and nails myself, ensuring he’s always comfortable and well-maintained. I also keep up with his training regularly, which has made him a well-behaved companion who accompanies me everywhere. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and relaxation. When caring for others’ puppies in their home, I bring the same level of attentiveness and dedication, tailoring my approach to meet each puppy’s unique needs while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy.
“While on vacation the need arose and we needed a sitter, with little notice Danielle was able to watch our fur baby, Danielle was amazing and very caring and attentive, highly recommend.”

“We appreciate Staysha staying with Bentley and accepting to care for him. I truly believe that Staysha loves to care for animals; however, today I experienced something that I had not experienced before through Rover.com. One was that the pet sitter did not update her address until after we booked, making this a serious issue due to us trying to coordinate the timing of our destination to her home. The other reason is that when I called Staysha to let her know we were going over to pick up my dog, she said that she left my dog to someone else while she went to run errands and go walk another dog and feed another dog at some other house. In one of the pictures, my dog was outside playing with a belly band on and when Inwent to pick him up his belly band was wet of pee pee and the pad was stinky of urine from not being changed. And when we got there to pick him up, Staysha was not there yet and her young niece gave me Bentley. The only reason why I will leave a tip at this point is because I feel bad for Staysha little niece who she seemed to be the one who was watching Bentley while Staysha was out. Staysha, if I could give you a constructive criticism, it would be that, I know you really mean to care for animals, ect. But, when a pet owner leaves their pet with “you” - who Rover.com checks your background check ect, the pet owner is trusting you to watch over their baby, their kid, their dog. For us Bentley is like our son and when you told me you left him with someone else, I could not believe it. I could give a 3 star vs 4 stars, but I believe in second chances, in forgiveness and I know that my feedback will serve to you as a positive one because you will plan your schedule better so that this does not happen again. Thank you and hope all goes well.”
About: Over the years I have walked dogs of all sizes and baby sat many houses for family and friends. I grow up on a farm. I have trained horses and owned pretty much every farm animal out there. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am excited to expand my services to other people. I enjoy volunteering at the local SPCA for time to time. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have never tried these skills on a animal and hopefully I will never have to try them out. I have worked in several daycare over the years and am currently a nanny. People trust me with their kids so I am confident in my ability to handle your pets. Pets are family as well.
“Mack had another great week of daycare with Crista! He gets so excited when we pull in her driveway, he loves spending the day with her! Crista always sends lots of pictures and videos of him having fun too.”
“George and his family took excellent care of my dog, Fennec. I got regular updates and a couple of photos, so I never worried. My nervous boy, Fenn, settled in easily with George and the kids. I will definitely take Fenn there again. I highly recommend!”

About: I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and those with special needs, including mild-moderate reactivity. I, myself have a 10-year-old pup that we adopted from a shelter in 2018. I've fostered dogs in the past for a senior rescue non-profit in Monterey, CA where I cared for and assisted in the adoption placement of 6 dogs over the course of 1 year. You can rest easy on your business trip, family vacation, or wherever you are knowing that I will treat your four-legged family member as my own. Thank you very much for considering me! I'm currently working part-time as an after-school teacher, so I'm only away for 3-4 hours a few days a week. Outside of this, my daily schedule is fairly flexible so I can work around your pets' normal schedule! I like to keep to a regular schedule with the pets I'm caring for. I've found that by doing this, they warm up to me more quickly and it helps ease any potential stress of their family being away. A typical general day would include a morning walk, afternoon park visit, hike, or other similar high energy play-time, and an evening walk. I also love to include mental stimulation throughout the day such as mini-training sessions. I will always do a consultation before care begins to ensure I have a thorough understanding of the daily needs for your pet to adjust the schedule as needed.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 32 years, I have worked as a kennel assistant at 17 for Lake Houston Animal Clinic and was a Kennel Manager for 4 years for Best Friends Pet Resort in Spring, Tx. I have experience and knowledge with different breeds as well as specific character traits of most breeds. I fostered with Montgomery County Animal Shelter for roughly 4 years and I'm used to administering both oral and injected medication and am familiar with many different health issues. I have been pet sitting off and on since 2005 as, I have a good client base but I'm looking to expand my business. I love dogs and cats....we speak each other's language! Its a joy to be able to care for other's furbabies while I'm out running errands, in between work schedules or even just enjoying the day. Being with the animals is a joy and not a just a job. I pet sit from the client's home so that thier furbaby can remain in the comfort of their own home while mom and/or dad are away.

About: I have 16 years of experience caring for pets, whether it be my own personal pets, pet sitting for others pets and working in vet clinics- Most recently in an Er vet clinic! Before I became a stay at home mom I managed the front desk of an ER vet and helping triage serious to non serious visits. I also have roughly about 1 year of vet tech experience as well!

About: I’ve raised my Old English Sheepdog since he was a puppy, so I know firsthand how much love and patience dogs need at every stage of life. From playful pups to dogs who need a little extra care, I’m comfortable handling it all. I’m especially experienced with big breeds and dogs with allergies, so I’m used to giving meds, keeping routines, and making sure pups feel happy and safe. I’ll treat your dog like family and give them the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student and have a part time job but I’m looking for something with more flexibility and that keeps me more active too. I can care for your pet in your home and area. I can provide walks, playtime, and attention while your pet stays in a familiar, comfortable environment. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving lots of love and attention, and making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I grew up on an acreage surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, chickens, bees, and just about everything in between! Caring for animals has been a normal part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m a young adult who loves people, animals, and adventure. Outside of pet sitting I have worked in EMS, have served as a pastor, and am currently pursuing my masters in humanitarian aid. Those experiences have taught me to be dependable, compassionate, attentive, and calm when unexpected things happen. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so if your dog wants long walks, playtime, or an adventure buddy, I’m all in. And if your pet would rather curl up on the couch and have some company, I’m pretty great at that too! Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family. I’ll care for your pets (and your home!) with the same kindness and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My schedule is flexible, which makes pet sitting a great fit for me! I’m careful to accept bookings where I know I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so I absolutely love getting to spend time with other people’s animals. I’m active and outdoorsy, so walks, playtime, and adventures fit naturally into my day—but I’m just as happy hanging out at home and keeping your pet company. When I accept a booking, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine works well with my schedule so they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special routines I’m comfortable providing, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure everything is kept clean, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Every animal is different, so I’m always happy to learn their quirks, favorite activities, routines, and boundaries and adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and truly love being around them! Before moving to Chattanooga, I cared for the same family’s dog for over two years, building a strong bond with both the pup and the family. I’ve also worked as a nanny, where I was responsible not only for the children but also for their family dog—making sure they were walked, fed, and loved. I now have a puppy of my own, so I understand the daily needs, attention, and patience dogs require at every stage. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I work during the weekdays, but I’m fully available in the evenings and at night for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m also completely free on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, clean, and cozy space with lots of love and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. If I’m in your home, I make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for while respecting your space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages!
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I became a teenager. I’ve also house sat in addition to pet sat for 8 years now, and have reliable references.

I currently work 9-6 M-F at a daycare, so I will have mornings and evenings (plus a lunch break from work) and weekends to check in, feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pet.

About: Hi, I'm Kirstie (pronounced "curse-tea"). I'm a huge animal lover and have taken care of my own and other people's cats and dogs since I was a child.

About: Pets have been a part of my life since a kid. I have 3 dogs of my own so I know how busy life can get with pets. I have experience in basic care as in dog walking, feeding, medicine taking, overnight care. My schedule varies each month but I communicate it before hand to ensure consistency. I’m flexible on weekends and during the week any overnight care works for me as well. I am very active and love being outside so I can take walks with your pets or even just playing in the back yard with some toys.

“I liked Lauren immediately and her home is such a haven for dogs! She took time to slowly acclimate my pup to the other dogs and was super responsive while I was away. It was my pup’s first boarding experience and I think he had a great time! I will definitely book Lauren again.”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Whatever word is better than amazing, that’s what she is! She and her family made my furbaby feel so much at home and loved on her just as I do!! I got updates with photos and videos which is so very thoughtful. Stephanie went above and beyond keeping my Mercy longer when our flights home were canceled. Stephanie will forever be someone that I recommend to family and friends!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”

“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“We were a little worried when we needed to do a long trip away from our dog, but we found this amazing family that took a great care of Samy and gave him extra love throughout the storms when he needed! We were so happy Samy spent the time with them! And we are so lucky to know we can count on them for future occasions! Thank you so much, we are beyond grateful!! ❤️”
“We were nervous about introducing our elderly pup, Bear, to a new boarding situation but with his mobility issues, taking him on trips just isn’t feasible any more, Jaxen assuaged those fears quickly, and took such fantastic care of him! Apparently, the specialized in elderly dog care. Bear was a happy, relaxed boy when we came back. We will definitely be utilizing Jaxen again.”

Crista clearly puts so much care and effort into her pet sitting work, and I would highly recommend booking with her. Peanut will definitely be back!”

She really took to their dogs in the best way. Highly recommend, and will be a return customer if needed in the future!”
“Megan and Chris were a fabulous dog-sitting duo right from the beginning, with a prompt reply and super easy communication. They thoughtfully offered to answer any questions I had before booking. I received lots of reassuring photos, text updates, and even a couple videos while I was away from my four-legged baby. Tessa came home a bit worn out after a long weekend of playing with other dogs and exploring the fenced yard at M&C’s place.”
“I'd rate 10 stars if I could. George and his family took excellent care of my dog. They were incredibly accommodating. Their dog is so well behaved, I knew from the start it was going to be good. All my expectations were met and exceeded. When I came to pick my pup up, he was happy to see me, but otherwise calm and relaxed. I am so pleased.”
“We received daily updates; they listened to our thoughts about what Myrtle liked and did not like; very thorough and knowledgeable. Seemed to really care about Myrtle and sent pictures of her. We did not worry at all about her andwere very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. When we picked up Myrtile at the end of her stay, she seemed contented and in good condition. If we need to board Myrtle again when we are in that area, we will for sure re-book with Malia.”
