“Jessica took excellent care of my pup!!❤️ I needed someone short notice to go out of town for my son with college. She was willing to help and took great care of her!

Highly recommend, thank you!!”

“I took my 4 month old puppy Sophie to stay with Lydia for a week. She has two dogs that made friends with Sophie right away. She has a great yard for the animals to run and play in. I received pictures and videos to make me feel more comfortable while I was gone. Sophie was well cared for and happy when I picked her up. I will definitely take Sophie to stay with Lydia again.”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”

“This is our first time using Rover and we were fortunate to have contacted Tatiana for the care of our beagle during our vacation. She was spectacular with our puppy and kept us up to date with messages, photos and videos. I give Tatiana a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be scheduling with her again in the future.”
“Super nice family and took great care of my pal! Very communicative and followed all instructions. Jennifer asked about what she did not know. A whole week flew by and my dog looked happy when I returned.”

“June always take such good care of my cat Boots and goes above and beyond when she checks in. Super grateful for her! She puts my mind at easy while I’m away.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!
“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Ayla-Lynette did an amazing job with my two kitties, one of whom required daily injections and was not easy! Was so grateful that they were in her care, she was wonderful at keeping me updated and sending photos in the lake. I highly recommend her to anyone reading this, she will take wonderful care of your animals. Thank you again Ayla-Lynette!”
“Ella was amazing!!! She kept me updated on my little baby’s and listened to all my worry’s about leaving them alone for a few days. She was so sweet and both my cats loved her. I will be recommending her to everyone, and booking with her again 🫶🫶”
“Lorrin was amazing. She was a great communicator and always asked questions if she didn’t know something or needed to adjust the times. She treated our Amir like our own and was a huge help while we are gone. She relieved so much stress and worry as we traveled and left him at home. I was able to enjoy our vacation with out worry because I knew he was in good hands. The initial meeting was great and she has a super flexible schedule. She followed every instruction that this worried mama had and she assured me that he was going to be well taken care of. 10/10!!!”
“Katherine has been doing awesome with Ranger! Shows up on time and makes sure that he has food and water and plays with him during visits to keep his mind entertained while I am at work!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ariana was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly experienced. Communication was great throughout the entire booking, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. She also provided helpful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my pet was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Toby is AWEmazing with my Rottweiler Mello he always works with my schedule and is great with working with me last minute. He also sticks to his commitment when I have something planned weeks Ahead! I will def continue using him for my boarding and drop ins !!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I have a 2 year old little boy. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
“Tyler was great with me and my cat! She gave updates and did a great job making sure our animals acclimated to each other well. Made sure my cat had lots of attention and care.”
About: I adopted Timber when he was six month old in 2012 from a family who was unable to care for him due to his high energy levels and special dietary needs. I brought him home and had to potty train, obedience train, get him over separation anxiety, and socialize him all from scratch. I specialize in dogs that can be a handful, but of course I'm open to caring for any kind of furry friend! I love all animals and would the love the opportunity to care for yours! Thank You!
“We’ve had SUCH a great experience with Ashley! Our pup has a ton of energy, and Ashley made sure he got a ton of exercise (and love) while she was there with him. She is very responsible and communicative, and she left super detailed updates (complete with great photos) that put the ‘crazy dog mom’ in me at ease. We look forward to using Ashley again and again! :)”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a little girl. My first pet was a sassy black cat that loved to jump on top of doors. I am a firm believer that cats need just as much love as any other pet does! Whether it’s playing or cuddling, your cats and kittens will be purrrrring away and having a paw-some time!
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs. We ❤️ dog psychology and behavior. We provide supervision, exercise and play. Your dog will be interacting with our “pack” of friendly dogs and family. Manners and house training will be enforced in a positive atmosphere. We have a fenced in yard, indoor fencing and gates to separate dogs if needed. We offer meet & greets, as well as curb side drop off and pickup. You don’t even have to get out of your car if you prefer! We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video. We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
“Maria took amazing care of our baby ! Our puppy has a lot of energy and Maria was super accommodating to our baby’s need. She updated me throughout and send pictures while we were away.

About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a day/weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate time to my own dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I‘m currently home full-time so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! What you can expect: I separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind. My goal for drop-ins is to make each visit feel familiar and stress-free by sticking to their routine as much as possible and caring for them just like you would!
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
“My yellow Lab, Gemma, has a little bit of a disability where she has had some neurological damage to her rear paws/hind end due to an injury she had before we adopted her. I explained everything to Sara and she was very willing to care for Gemma so we did a day of daycare. Sara took great care of her and I think she had a great time! I received several pictures and updates throughout the day. Gemma was quite tired that night from playing most of the day! Thanks Sara!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred. I do not have any pets at this time, so I welcome pets into my home for care as well! In my home I offer a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!
“Heather always takes good care of our Dallas. Dallas gets so excited to go to Heather’s house in days I work. He loves playing with all the other dogs. Heather treats Dallas like one of her own! We trust and appreciate her.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous but Kendra was great. She had me introduce my dog, Leo, to her dogs through the fence before bringing Leo inside the fence. The dogs interacted great. Kendra also sent me a picture of Leo letting me know things were going well. It's great to be able to get away and not have to worry about you pet. Thanks Kendra!”
“Leslie took great care of our two very different dogs today! Our working line confident German Shepherd had as much of a great time as our more timid Border Collie mix. Leslie evaluated our dogs carefully and made it a wonderful experience for all involved. Thank you!!”
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how hard it is to trust someone new with your beloved furry family member. When your dogs are in my home, they are a part of our family. I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog, and now that I’m an adult with my own, I’m dedicated to providing the best care for my daycare and boarding clients. Because my husband and I both work from home, someone is always available to supervise your babies. A typical day at our home looks like this: 630a - Wake Up 730a - Short Morning Walk 8a to 930a - Independent play & relax 930a - Breakfast 10a to 12p - Independent play, potty breaks as needed 12p - Lunch 1p to 4p - Independent play, potty breaks as needed 4p to 530p - Outdoor play 530p - Dinner 7p - Evening Walk 8p - Settle Down With a flexible work schedule, I have the ability to adjust my schedule to the dogs in my care. Our home is 1200 sq ft with over a quarter acre of 6ft privacy fenced backyard space. Our fence is thoroughly checked weekly for any holes, loose boards, and other defects that could lead to escapees. All doors, except for our dedicated office space, are closed during the day, but dogs have access to our shared family spaces. While we do not have a doggy door for backyard access, we do potty breaks approx every two hours or as needed. In our home, it is myself, my husband, and our dog Jessie, who is friendly to all. Although she is friendly, we do pick up all toys, chews, and food when other dogs are in our home. That being said, dogs will also be fed separate regardless of personality simply because dogs act different in homes that are not theirs. We find that this keeps both our dog and yours safe in our home.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!
“Michelle and Ed were wonderful with our dog Sophia. She sent us pictures and you could tell they treated her very nice and made her feel at home. I would highly recommend them to look after any pet of mine. Thanks again!”

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.
“Tyler is great! She is very responsive and you can tell she is an animal lover! She walked my dog, sent pics, and communicated with me before and after the walk. I will definitely use her again and fully recommend her!”
About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care.

About: I’ve been caring for pets of all kinds for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and give lots of love to their furry companions. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I always tailor my care to each animal’s personality and energy level. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well-loved while in my care. I currently have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to easily adapt pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of time to check in on pets, feed them, play with them, and give them the attention they need. I’m able to adjust my availability depending on each pet’s routine, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in my client’s home. I live in a spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment, with several parks nearby for walks and playtime. There is also a 24-hour veterinary clinic just 8 minutes away, which gives extra peace of mind in case of any emergency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, respect house rules, and make sure they receive attentive, loving, and responsible care at all times.
About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13.

“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”
“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her! Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services. I will always follow your directions for feeding, rules, & boundaries. You can trust that your babies will be safe and have a fun time while you are away!
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.
About: I adopted Timber when he was six month old in 2012 from a family who was unable to care for him due to his high energy levels and special dietary needs. I brought him home and had to potty train, obedience train, get him over separation anxiety, and socialize him all from scratch. I specialize in dogs that can be a handful, but of course I'm open to caring for any kind of furry friend! I love all animals and would the love the opportunity to care for yours! Thank You!
About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

“Jessica took excellent care of my pup!!❤️ I needed someone short notice to go out of town for my son with college. She was willing to help and took great care of her! She has a back yard for the dogs to run in, which was so great for Bliss! I came back to get her, she was a happy baby😁 Jessica also provided updates about how she was doing during her stay! Highly recommend, thank you!!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”

“This is our first time using Rover and we were fortunate to have contacted Tatiana for the care of our beagle during our vacation. She was spectacular with our puppy and kept us up to date with messages, photos and videos. I give Tatiana a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be scheduling with her again in the future.”
“Super nice family and took great care of my pal! Very communicative and followed all instructions. Jennifer asked about what she did not know. A whole week flew by and my dog looked happy when I returned.”
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“I called Heather and she took my babies with basically 48 hours notice. They met a new friend! I’m going to have to coordinate a play date with Todd the Collie just so my babies can see him again.”
“Leslie watched comet while we were away in Costa Rica and we can confidently say she is one of the people we trust most with her care. We were never concerned and got consistent updates. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Being new to the area with no family, we didn’t know who could watch our fur baby. Adria immediately made our little girl feel safe. She ran into her home which was a good sign. Adria sent photos to update us. Thank you for watching her -we will definitely use Adria again when needed!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“James took great care of Jaxx by providing pictures and updates while I was away. He kept me updated with feeding times and communicated quickly with any concerns. I will absolutely book with James in the future.”
