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.

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.

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.
“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!”
“Riley was absolutely fantastic with my two cats! My cats have never had an “outside of the family” sitter before and can be extremely anxious because of this. However, Riley’s care for them made them less anxious and one of my cats, who is very afraid of people she doesn’t know and will hide, actually came out each visit and let Riley pet her multiple times! She also sent updates and photos of my cats, which I really appreciated. Riley is an amazing sitter, so I highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
“I never thought I could leave my dogs in the care of a stranger . I have 3 toy Aussies and one has severe separation anxiety. 10 minutes in our meet and greet Colt who does not like strangers begged for Hollys attention and brought a toy he rarely plays with . Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”
“Ashlie is very friendly and reliable! Our pup enjoys having her around. We are happy we were able to find such a great sitter for our boy! We highly recommend Ashlie to our friends and family!”

“Leslie was amazing! Updates and pictures sent each day. She was very quick to respond and took great care of my cats. My kitties loved her company. Can’t wait to rebook!”
About: I have cared for lots of animals since I can even remember. I grew up around pets and was taught to always be kind and caring towards them. I’m currently in the military so my days are always free after 4pm and I get an hour and a half lunch to stop in and check on pets! I have 3 cats currently who are very spoiled! I also used to work in a vet clinic so if your pet has medication that need administered I can do it!
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

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾
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.

About: My grandparents never allowed us to have any pets in our home. As soon as I turned 18, I got my first puppy. Since then, it's been quite an adventure for my spouse and I. With more than 12 years of dog fostering, transport, and walking, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and he's been there along for the ride. Our rescues have taught us the importance of individualized care. I'm committed to providing a loving, fun, yet safe environment for your fur family member(s). We can't wait to meet your fur best friend! I’m currently a stay-at-home-mom taking online college courses. We are home (almost) all day to care for, play with and let out your loved pups! I am now offering boarding services in my home on Fort Campbell. Our rescues have since crossed rainbow bridge and we now have a pup that loves to play with others. Slow, monitored introductions are always done. I have three children, 10, 7.5 and almost 2, who've also gained a love for any and all animals, while also knowing to respect and give space when it is needed.
“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!”
“I have a small very shy baby and he was treated with so much love and care he returned happy and exhausted lol I thank Jessica for everything and I for sure book with her again”
“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.”
“Maui absolutely loves being at Lydia’s for daycare. Lydia is great with communication and we have no plans of taking Maui anywhere else for daycare or boarding in the future.”
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: Hey pups and parents! I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve trained my own dogs in scent work and obedience, giving me a strong understanding of behavior, communication, and structured training. I’ve also spent time working in dog rescue, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to support dogs with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. No matter how busy my schedule gets, I always make time to care for your pets. I ensure they’re fed, comfortable, and given the love and attention they deserve every day. Their well-being is a natural part of my routine, and I’m committed to keeping them happy and healthy In my home, every dog is treated with gentle care, patience, and consistent attention. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family—from providing a clean and comfortable space to offering regular meals, playtime, and affection. Their well-being is always a priority, and I take pride in creating a peaceful, caring environment where they can relax and thrive.
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!
“The love Kelcey has for pets is amazing! I felt comfortable leaving Kali with her while I worked and ran errands. Kali was sooo tired when he returned home (that means he had a BLAST!). Thanks again Kelcey! Kali will be back! :)”

About: Pet Care Experience I have experience caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve taken care of both puppies and senior pets feeding them, walking them, giving medications, and keeping them company. I truly love animals and enjoy being part of their daily routine. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet with patience, affection, and full attention. I take the time to walk, play, and care for each one like they were my own. I live in a house with a yard where pets can play, and if it’s too cold or hot, they stay indoors with me in the AC. I don’t accept aggressive pets and prefer sitting in my home or nearby. Your pet will be safe, loved, and happy in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I wake up early to start the day with walks and playtime, ensuring pets get plenty of exercise and attention. Throughout the day, I adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals, and their care fits seamlessly into my life, making it both fulfilling and enjoyable. I am happy to care for pets both in my home and in theirs, as long as it is close to my area. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own space, and I am committed to providing the best care for them, whether at my home or theirs. I offer a safe, spacious environment at my house, but I can also accommodate in their home if needed.

I follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I provide a calm, loving environment and pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“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: What sets me apart is my hands on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, my flexible college schedule, and the genuine love I have for pets. I’ve grown up with dogs, currently have a cat of my own, and have cared for both high energy and senior pets. I always treat each animal like they’re my own keeping their routines, comfort, and safety my top priority. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure every pet feels loved while you’re away.

“Holly came over for a meet and greet + walked my pups the following day. She was so kind + sweet with the dogs. I’ve booked with her for future walks and would refer to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.
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.

“Im so thankful Kendra is able to walk my dogs. She responded right away when I first contact her and was able to walk them the next day. I love seeing the report cards with the pictures. I feel better knowing my dogs get out for a walk during the day.”
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
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: 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 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!!”
“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!

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.
“We are grateful for such a good care of our dog while we were out of town. We could tell that Azula had lots of fun and exercise, while we were gone, because she came home and was ready to sleep! We will definitely contact Miranda again in the future for our boarding needs.”
“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!”

About: I have 5 years experience as a veterinary technician in the Army for military working dogs and pets. I am now a stay at home mom and dog mom!

I am a stay at home mom now, so I have a very flexible and open schedule to meet all your pets needs! I will stay consistent with the any type of schedule your pet requires. I have a large open backyard, not fenced but I have a 50 ft yard leash for potty breaks with ample amount of space to run and play. I have three dogs of my own who love to make other doggy friends.

“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.”
“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.”
“We LOVE using A'Briana to watch Jackson! We have used her for multiple overnight camps, daycare, and dog walking. He gets along with her dogs and she treats him like a part of her family. He knows when we are pulling into her driveway and will run up to her door with his tail happily wagging.”
About: I have cared for lots of animals since I can even remember. I grew up around pets and was taught to always be kind and caring towards them. I’m currently in the military so my days are always free after 4pm and I get an hour and a half lunch to stop in and check on pets! I have 3 cats currently who are very spoiled! I also used to work in a vet clinic so if your pet has medication that need administered I can do it!
