“I could not recommend Lisa enough! One of our dogs is considered special needs, so leaving him always makes us a little nervous. Lisa was so amazing and took amazing care of both our dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and amazing communication. Our dogs had a blast hanging with Lisa and her family as well as her 2 dogs! I’m not sure they wanted to leave when we came to pick them up!”
“Wish I could leave 100 stars. Skilar & Jared were absolutely amazing. It appears that Max had a terrific time while there. He was happy when we picked him up and wore out .. lol. Skilar and Jared periodically sent us updates on Max with photos included. That really put our mind at ease to see our pup looking so happy. We will definitely use them in the future. Thanks skilar & Jared!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!”

“Hope was great with my Murphy. He loved being with her and her kids and dog. Hope was great communicating updates and sending pictures. I’ll definitely keep her in mind for next time I go out of town!”
“Moneissa really does a great job at making both pet and parent feel comfortable! As someone who always feels uneasy leaving their dog with someone else, I was fully confident my dog was in great care with Moneissa. If you love solid updates and reassurance, she is the sitter for you! Eevee had so much fun during her stay and will be visiting again!”
“Lydia was great with Bogie. Although he was anxious of being away from home she was patient with him and kept me updated on his stay. Would recommend her and Bogie will be going back next month for another stay.”

“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.

“Such a great visit! They got to play with old and new friends! I got lots of updates and pictures. LuLu had no interest in coming home with me when I got there to pick them up😄 I’m so thankful for Ms. Heather! She’s amazing!!!”
About: Hello! I am a dog parent to an 8-year-old bully named Boss. I've been raised with furry friends my entire life, mostly dogs and cats, but a few bunnies too! As a pet parent, I understand the overwhelming anxiety one experiences when it's time to board your furry friend. Rest assured, your fur baby will get the time and attention they deserve. I work a flexible schedule to ensure someone will always be present. I do have a 4-year-old daughter who is just as much of a furry friend lover as I am! She just completed a pet study in school and is very gentle and respectful with Boss. I can administer medications if needed, as I have to do that for Boss. I have a 2-acre property which includes a fenced-in section. I would love to welcome your furry friend into my home and give you the peace of mind in knowing your best friend is being loved while you're away. I’m at home during the day and have flexibility with my work schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the quality time they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and my Boss is crate trained. I also have two acres perfect for enjoyable walks and very minimal traffic on my street.
“James was amazing! He kept me updated about my dog while I was out of town and took very good care of him. James is very trustworthy and I will bring my dog to him anytime I need someone to watch my dog.”

“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!!!”
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!

She is a great communicator and went above and beyond for our pets. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”

“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!”
“We had to modify our drop off and pick up a couple of times on the same day and Maria was able to accommodate and was very flexible and understanding.

I never had issues with Maria and we have booked her plenty of times. Also her availability is amazing! Our dog always comes home very happy, healthy and very well taken care of ❤️ thanks so much Maria!”

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!
About: I have owned and cared for animals since I can remember and have been pet sitting officially for the past three years. I briefly studied Veterinary Assistance in college but ultimately decided, owning my own pet business one day was the dream job for me. I provide two daily walks on our 6 acre property during boarding and an exciting day of life on the farm. We have an indoor/outdoor fenced in play yard as well as a comfy cozy living room setting boarding room. If you still can’t picture all the fun your pup will have here, call or text to set up and meet and greet and come and see us! We are a family business so your pups will get loved and cuddled every chance we get. I am excited to meet and care for your babies as if they were my own and look forward to seeing you all soon!

Large bowls of cold water, special treats, lots of belly rubs and indoor-outdoor play! WagginTails is a must 😉
“Belle was very good about explaining everything---areas available to the dog, other dogs at the home, toys, food, water, vet etc. Everything was clean. It was the first time my dog had been left with someone other than myself and so it was all new to him. I felt confident that Flynn was well taken care of and will use Belle again.”

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.
About: Experienced Pet Caregiver with Hands-On Puppy Raising Experience, Reliable Feeding and Walking Schedules, and a Strong Commitment to Loving, Attentive Pet Care. Dogs have been apart of my daily routine my entire life so any aspect of taking care of them has been experienced by me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and experience caring for animals every day. I recently graduated from undergrad and am free all summer before starting graduate school, so I have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets in clients’ homes while following their routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I also have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their needs.
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
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.

“Hope was great with my Murphy. He loved being with her and her kids and dog. Hope was great communicating updates and sending pictures. I’ll definitely keep her in mind for next time I go out of town!”
“Moneissa really does a great job at making both pet and parent feel comfortable! As someone who always feels uneasy leaving their dog with someone else, I was fully confident my dog was in great care with Moneissa. If you love solid updates and reassurance, she is the sitter for you! Eevee had so much fun during her stay and will be visiting again!”
“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.”
“So kind, consistent updates & returned my moody husky better trained than upon arrival. Can not say enough kind things about this rover. Home was nice, fenced in yard & he even made friends.”
“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“Fantastic Rover host! Jessica communicated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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”
“Such a great visit! They got to play with old and new friends! I got lots of updates and pictures. LuLu had no interest in coming home with me when I got there to pick them up😄 I’m so thankful for Ms. Heather! She’s amazing!!!”
“James was amazing! He kept me updated about my dog while I was out of town and took very good care of him. James is very trustworthy and I will bring my dog to him anytime I need someone to watch my dog.”
“Jessica communicated so well all week while watching our baby! I was nervous to leave him for so long but she sent updates and pictures and answered so fast!! Would recommend her for the anxious doggy parents and will book again!!!”
“Leslie was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated every single day for 1 week with pictures and let me know how Milo was doing throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious he was having the best time playing with all of his new pup friends! When I picked him up, I could tell he had been well cared for and loved. She even mentioned how sad she was to see him leave, and that meant so much because it showed how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I live all the way in Antioch, and finding Leslie in Clarksville was one of the best decisions I could have made. The drive was 100% worth it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Milo again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Cameron was a wonderful caretaker of my pup! He was so happy to have so much loving attention and fun playtime with Beau. It was awesome to find the perfect solution to my need. Thanks!”
“Sara was a phenomenal host for my two fur babies!! I received video and pic updates through the week. The dogs really seemed to thoroughly enjoy their stay. I enjoyed not worrying about them, knowing they have been in great hands. Thank you so much, Sara!!”
“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!”
