“Maggie was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior Doberman. Our dog enjoyed her walks and personal care in a nice quiet environment. We have already booked our next vacation and our dog will be enjoying her own “vacation “ with Maggie, again!”
About: We provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet's personality and needs. With patience, attention, and genuine compassion, we make pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. We are semi-retired couple that have been in the area for over 8 years. We have plenty of time and experience to care for your pets. For hosting your pet at our home, we have an 8 year old hound dog mix that is unbelievably chill and he always loves to meet other dogs. We do have an extra large crate already if your dog requires/likes to be crated.
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
“I was delighted with Mandy, I don't speak English very well but that was not inconvenient for her I was afraid of leaving my baby with someone outside of the family, but as soon as we arrived and I saw how kind she is and how happy she was, my Golden took away my fear, She always had communication with me, she sent me photos and video that made my trip not so painful for me. when I returned to look for my baby he was happy I know that they took good care of him and I appreciate it. he already has a place to go that they love him the same as at home”
“Erin was amazing!! She sent me updated photos of Bentley everyday! Great communication, Bentley instantly loved her the moment I dropped him off. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend Erin, she will take care and love on your dog like they are her own! Thank you, Erin!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place to board our dog! DeRee and her husband took great care of Apollo and sent us updates daily. On top of all that they took him in on very short notice, so we’re extremely grateful for that as well. Will use again!”
“Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!”
“Ashley was truly one of the greatest! She asked tons of questions about my two dogs Bella & Kobe (Shiba Inu & German Shepherd) and her home has a perfect setup for dogs to get tons of play time and exercise! She also kept me updated with videos throughout their weekend stay. My dogs will definitely be staying with Ashley again & yours should too!!”
“Mercedes doggysat our Sophia for 2 nights. She sent us sweet pictures and updates during our time away. With each picture I could see that our sweet maltipoo was so happy and felt comfortable where she was. A home away from home :) We felt complete peace knowing our Sophia was in such loving hands. We will definitely be requesting Mercedes to watch Sophia in the future. Definitely recommend!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our three cats! Carly was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was excellent — we loved receiving regular check-in messages with the exact times of visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The daily photos were the highlight for us. Seeing our cats happy, playful, and well-cared for in every picture made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious they were comfortable and getting plenty of attention and love. We highly recommend Carly to any cat parent (especially those with multiple fur babies). We’ll definitely be booking with her again on our next trip. Thank you so much, Carly!”
“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.
About: As a lifelong dog owner and frequent dog sitter for my close friends and family, I get how important it is not to have to worry about your dog when you can't be home. Ditch those worries and enjoy yourself while an incredibly professional, reliable, & responsible person hangs out with your dog! I'm here to offer a dog-friendly house with lots of cozy furniture to sprawl on, a big back yard, a great walkable small town, and plentiful nearby hikes for outdoor time. Your dog will feel right at home. Depending on your dog's energy level, we'll spend our time playing in the yard or exploring a nearby hike, or just lounging at home for the more sleepy senior dogs. I'm here to make your dog's vacation just as fun and comfortable as yours! I have a flexible, chill work-from-home job, allowing me to hang out with your pet 24/7! I can tailor my schedule to your dogs' play, potty break, and rest needs. I have a spacious home and yard, and have lots of time for whatever attention your dog needs. My sweet senior dog chills all day on the couch with me while I work, and we take frequent breaks to hang out on the porch and play in the yard.
“THANK YOU Darlene. this was my first time scheduling a sitting time for my dog on Rover and away from home. Darlene was everything I wished for anyone watching my sweet Chico even for a few hours. she is a natural! she allowed us to bring Chico for a first quick meeting before the sitting date, Chico took up with her immediately and was very comfortable in her home. Her home is in a really nice and beautiful location ideal for anybody’s pet. She send me pictures and comments about Chico and how he was doing, I know he was not only taken good care of but was spoiled same as I do. Definitely will use her again and recommend her!”
“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.
About: My family and I have had two Huskies, one Ridgeback Mix, & a Lab/Shar Pei mix. We now currently have two, rambunctious Boston Terriers. If there’s one thing I’ve learned with these two is that family runs in fur too. The ability to provide all animals the same loving care their human family gives them, is a reflection of my own love & care for my own furry family. As I’ve discovered a deep interest in botany & herbology, I’ve applied it while baking them homemade-allergy free dog cookies! In terms of experience with pet sitting, I have had experience pet sitting for my neighbor's: two dogs, reptiles, and beta fish. I’ve also watched some cute kittens that have captured my heart, over the years. Not to mention, I have joined two friends with their pet/house sitting job adventures. On each of those occasions, I felt drawn to take more opportunities like this for myself as well.
About: Lots of pet care experience! Drop your pets off with me so they can be loved on in a home environment while you’re away on your trip We’re a fun-loving, pet-friendly family who truly believes that animals are part of the family! With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, we know how to make pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or extra snuggles, we’re here to give your furry friends the same care and attention we give our own. From long walks and playtime to cozy naps and belly rubs, we love keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Our home is always open to four-legged guests, and we take pride in giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. 💕 Because when your pets stay with us, they’re not just visitors—they’re family. 🐶🐱✨ I drop by as often as needed to make sure they have plenty of potty breaks, food, and love while you’re away just as I would my own!
