“Jennifer & her husband have become like family to us & our 2 pups. When we dropped them off for a week stay, they were excited to see Jennifer & didn’t look back at us! That’s when you know you’ve found someone who actually cares about our pups!! ❤️”
“I don't use Rover very often, and am quite hesitant about leaving our pup with new people. However, Kandace made me feel at ease from her friendly demeanor and questions to ensure Ginger's comfort in her stay. I received photos throughout her stay, and her happiness is clear in the photos. We have found our go-to Rover sitter!”
“Eric and June were great with Bandit. June sent frequent updates, with pictures of Bandit being a snuggle bug. Seems like Bandit was very happy with his stay.”
“Daphne watched our baby for us to go on a weekend trip to nashville. When we got back my baby didnt want to leave her lol I had to pull him. She's great. A real animal person and animal lover.”
“If I could recommend one person to watch after my Rookie, it would have to be Jessica!! She is an excellent communicator, and sent several pictures throughout Rookies stay. I highly recommend Jessica and I know Rookie is looking forward to his next stay with them!!”
“I left my 2 German Shepherds with Marquia for 7 days and they came back extremely happy. She sent me pictures throughout their stay and always kept me updated. I will be using her for all my dog sitting needs from now on!”
“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 left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“I can't say enough good things about Leslie! She's trustworthy, caring, and went above and beyond to keep my dog happy and comfortable. I'll definitely be booking her again and recommending her to all my friends!”
“Maria took great care of our dog and provided us with consistent updates with pictures. We particularly appreciated Maria offering a "meet & greet", the day prior to drop-off. Which made us very comfortable boarding our dog with her, because we knew it was going to be a good fit. We definitely would use Maria's services, 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.”
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.
“Miranda was wonderful with our gaggle of animals! We have two very different dogs and they both seemed to really enjoy their stay. She went above and beyond for our boys!”
“We rest easy every night of our vacation away because we know our purebred golden lovebug Copper [12 years young] is safe and well cared for at Miss Heather's. She provides photos every morning, ongoing open transparent communication, Heather clearly cares for everyone equally. Whether over weeks including dropoff on Xmas 2025 through New Years 2026 and days before Memorial Day 2026, we also know Heather understands how Copper does not do well with either thunder or fireworks. We knew after a single night tryout, that all future stays (so far averaged 11 nights/12 days total) Copper is staying as closest to being at home with us.”
“Jennifer is the best. We have two weims and they just love her. Both are needy in their own way & she loves them each in their own unique way! I am always at ease when I leave my dogs with Jennifer, & I am VERY picky about who I leave them with. She sends pictures and updates. She is the best!”

“Aaron was very professional and took care of my kitty beyond my expectations. On top of that, he made sure my house and plants were well. I am very thankful that my kitty had someone safe, reliable, and dependable to take care of him. I am sure that my kitty will miss him. Whenever I have to be apart from my kitty, I will most definitely book with Aaron granted that he’s available.”
“Looove lilly! She came visit us to get to know the cats before we left. This was my first time using rover and also our first time leaving our cats after moving to a new place so I was pretty anxious. But she took such great care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them while we were on vacation. She made sure our cats trusted her and was so patient with them. She kept me updated and love all the pictures she sent me. TY LILLY 🤍”
“Nevaeh was a lifesaver for our family! We decided to take a last minute trip and I was having a hard time finding someone to watch our cat. I messaged Nevaeh and she answered me pretty much right away! She was very easy to communicate with and did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Would definitely work with her again in the future!”
“Jessica took excellent care of our fur baby! This was our first time using this service so my husband and I were a bit anxious about leaving our cat for the first time. We had nothing to worry about with Jessica. She sent us pictures and updates, and we knew our shy baby girl was in great hands! We will definitely be looking to Jessica if we ever need any pet sitting services again! She made this a wonderful and stress-free experience!”
“Our family absolutely loved Nicole and her girls , they took excellent care of my Gracie girl , kept her company and played with her which she absolutely enjoyed, asked her for picture updates and she has taken so many pictures. I would 100 percent book with her again she is very good at communicating and super trustworthy. Gracie loved them so much.”
“Samantha did an excellent job with my cat. I have a very ill cat that needed special care and she knocked it out of the park, he came healthier than I left him! 10/10 recommend!”
“Alexis was wonderful with our two cats! I always worry every time I leave them, but she made me feel very comfortable and I knew they would be well taken care of. She sent lots of photos and was excellent with communicating with me on how everything was going. She gave them lots of love and played with them. Plus everything was just as clean as it was when I left it which is a huge relief coming home from traveling. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely book with her again!! 😸”

It was always clear from pictures how much our crew loved her and followed her everywhere! She's the gold standard!”

“Jessica was amazing!! We needed a last minute sitter for our brand new, very needy 9 week old puppy, and she was more than up to the task. We were very comforted by her friendliness and the frequent updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
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!
“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. She also accepted the booking even tho it was pretty last minute. Would highly recommend her and would book with her again!”
“AMAZING! Thank you so much for taking care of our small pup! Our ball of energy came home tired which tells us he had lots of fun playing at pup daycare! Also, quick with responding which is a great plus and nice home with a large fenced yard for all the pups to play in! Will definitely book again!”
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
“The Very Best! My two furbabies stayed with Jennifer A and her husband for three days on post. Chica and Moose love them. They came home more loving, better trained, more socialized than they were when they left. Hand offs couldn't have been any easier, punctual, or fun. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you guys and consider you extended family.”
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, & play dates — 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. 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! I separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. Crating 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! *I kindly ask that you provide your pup’s kennel for boarding as they must be crate trained. I do not accept dogs with history of excessive barking and/or chewing/destruction/escaping when crated*
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.
“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: 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.🐾

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.

About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I also understand that quality pet care can get expensive, so I’m always willing to discuss pricing and work with you when possible to find something that fits your needs and budget. 🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve worked with animals for the last few years. It’s my passion! I’d love to take care of you’re fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a full time stay at home mom and also have 2 dogs of my own. I would have plenty of time to care for your pup. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own. We are outside most of the day playing if it’s nice out side.
About: I have taken care of pet’s since I was a kid from family pet’s to friends to walking neighbors dogs. Whether your pup is wanting to take a nap on its bed, or chase squirrels in the back yard or take a stroll around the block I’m here to accommodate his/her needs. I work from home majority of the time, the most I’m out of the house is 4 hours consecutively. When I am away and at night I lock the pet’s in their own crate ( unless they have a “thunder-buddy”) to ensure their safety so no accidents happen. Your pet’s health and safety is my top concern. I have a child in home so his safety is also my concern. I know new places and people can give some pup/s anxiety and not all dogs do well with kids. If your doggo is anxious around kids please let me know so that way I can ensure my families safety while also accommodating and ensuring your pet is at ease while in my care. I have a fenced back yard for your pet to get adequate outside time, If your pet likes walks I am happy to take them for a stroll around the block, I am firm on sticking to your pet’s feeding times and will accommodate that to my best ability. I provide treats and toys to pets that are cared for in my home, if your pet requires any type of special care ( allergies, anxiety, food aggression, hyperactive, etc) please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure I am providing your baby the best service possible.

About: You can call me Lilly!! I can provide calm, patient, and specialized care for pets who need more than the basics. when it comes to anxious and sensitive pets, i focus on using a slow, trust-building approach so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have an anxious cat myself, so I understand how important it is to move at their pace and build real trust. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs with complex needs, including blindness, deafness, and diabetes, so you can trust that details won’t be overlooked. That said, I absolutely love outgoing, playful pets too. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or your cat just wants attention and snuggles, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they have a great time. Ideal for pets who need extra patience or just a reliable, attentive sitter while you’re away. I have availability through out the week and weekends.

I’m especially patient with anxious pets and take a calm, gentle approach. I also respect your home, keep things clean, and can provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Shawna went above and beyond caring for my fur babies! Treated my dog Andi with kindness, patience, and care, even offering to assist with my other pets that weren’t included in the booked service. Logistically, she was perfectly proactive, asking all the questions I hadn’t even thought of but would’ve came up during the visit. This was very helpful as I’m not always available in the moment so we were able to square everything away beforehand. Would book Shawna again if ever needed :)”
About: I am deeply passionate about the well being of every animal and take the time to build trust with each pet I care for. The personalized loving care I provide truly sets me apart. My clients- family, friends, coworkers and neighbors - trust me to walk, feed, administer medications and care for their pets at every age, from playful puppies to beloved senior. I work from home. So I have a flexible schedule. I can be available to feed, water, walk your dog or check in on them. If you have cats can check in on them. Feed, water and play with them. While caring for your fur baby I'll give you a daily report telling you what your fur baby's day was like. I will play with, exercise and love on your fur baby. I will follow all your instructions and will notify you if I notice anything concerning.
“Ama and Jacob and their family are amazing! They’ve done so well with our 4 month old pup! We’ve come home to a happy puppy every time! They’ve done a great job burning some of that puppy energy and we feel very comfortable with their care. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“From the minute I met Brittany I knew this would be a great fit. She is so kind and outgoing, and Molly loved her. She was very outgoing and punctual. I have to say I was a little nervous using Rover from the beginning, but it was the best choice that I’ve made. I will most definitely be using Brittany in the future. What a blessing.”

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.
About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As an active person who enjoys walking and running, I understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'm active and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need exercise and attention. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet's unique routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. 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.
About: I’m a firm believer that our pets are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life and Im currently a dog mom to a handsome Belgian Malinois and a beautiful german shepherd. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also had experience caring for pets that are deaf, blind, and that require medications and even eye drops. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs. I prefer to take care of your pet in their home, so they are in a familiar and comfortable environment.
“Tyler is awesome. She’s responsive and on time every time. Takes great care of Bella for me. I will absolutely be re-booking walks every week because it’s most likely the highlight of Bella’s day”
About: Decades of Devotion. I started pet sitting in my early Childhood. I make sure every pet has lots of attention and care. Expertise in Pet Sitting, Bonding, and Beyond I’m currently an online college student. I also have a part time job that doesn’t require much so my time can be flexible when needed. I currently have one small dog. And he doesn’t take up much property at all. He mostly loves to spend time inside under the covers.
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even farm sitting and dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own that I love so much. Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) If you are interested in massage for enhanced mobility and comfort (particularly for senior animals and those with hip and joint pain) feel free to inquire about dog/cat massage 💜 I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
About: Thanks for checking out my profile! I have a deep love for all animals, cats dogs rats reptiles you name it. I have a lot of experience with seniors, medication administration, and am willing to take on any challenge. I’ve had dogs, cats, rats and ferrets growing up my whole life! I’m currently studying in college to be a wildlife biologist. Please be transparent about your animals behaviors! It will help them have a better experience. I currently work part time, so I’m home most days of the week. I have lots of time to take care and love on your fur babies! I’m also available on the weekends and most holidays. I have a big yard, and my own friendly fur babies to keep yours company when I’m away. If your animal needs to be crated, or separated from other animals, that’s okay just let me know!
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are family. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats! As a cat owner myself, I am deeply attuned to pet behavior, routines, and comfort levels. My top priority is ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. You can count on consistent, transparent communication, including detailed updates and plenty of photos or videos of your pets happy and thriving. I treat every animal in my care with the utmost respect, attentiveness, and love, keeping their schedules on track and their tails wagging! I am currently doing Rover as a second part time job and I am usually pretty flexible on times! I will always update my schedule as soon as I know! Your pet is always safe with me! I send updates and photos at every visit, checking in and letting you know if there are any questions or concerns, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention!
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: 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.

“I don't use Rover very often, and am quite hesitant about leaving our pup with new people. However, Kandace made me feel at ease from her friendly demeanor and questions to ensure Ginger's comfort in her stay. I received photos throughout her stay, and her happiness is clear in the photos. We have found our go-to Rover sitter!”
“Daphne watched our baby for us to go on a weekend trip to nashville. When we got back my baby didnt want to leave her lol I had to pull him. She's great. A real animal person and animal lover.”
“If I could recommend one person to watch after my Rookie, it would have to be Jessica!! She is an excellent communicator, and sent several pictures throughout Rookies stay. I highly recommend Jessica and I know Rookie is looking forward to his next stay with them!!”
“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 left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“I can't say enough good things about Leslie! She's trustworthy, caring, and went above and beyond to keep my dog happy and comfortable. I'll definitely be booking her again and recommending her to all my friends!”
“Maria took great care of our dog and provided us with consistent updates with pictures. We particularly appreciated Maria offering a "meet & greet", the day prior to drop-off. Which made us very comfortable boarding our dog with her, because we knew it was going to be a good fit. We definitely would use Maria's services, again :)”
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.
“Miranda was wonderful with our gaggle of animals! We have two very different dogs and they both seemed to really enjoy their stay. She went above and beyond for our boys!”
“We rest easy every night of our vacation away because we know our purebred golden lovebug Copper [12 years young] is safe and well cared for at Miss Heather's. She provides photos every morning, ongoing open transparent communication, Heather clearly cares for everyone equally. Whether over weeks including dropoff on Xmas 2025 through New Years 2026 and days before Memorial Day 2026, we also know Heather understands how Copper does not do well with either thunder or fireworks. We knew after a single night tryout, that all future stays (so far averaged 11 nights/12 days total) Copper is staying as closest to being at home with us.”
“Jennifer is the best. We have two weims and they just love her. Both are needy in their own way & she loves them each in their own unique way! I am always at ease when I leave my dogs with Jennifer, & I am VERY picky about who I leave them with. She sends pictures and updates. She is the best!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time. Kaylee sent me photos and set my mind at ease all night. If i could give more stars I would! Thanks Kaylee (and family) for everything!”
“Our dog was very well taken care of at Kelsey’s while we were out of town. She made sure to send pictures and videos and we could tell that our dog was having a great time there! She will be our go-to any time that we need a sitter for our dog. Highly recommend!”
“I’m really cautious about who watches my girls, but trust James in a heartbeat! Luna has so many allergies and he followed all of the details that Luna comes with to properly care for her! I never had a doubt about leaving my Luna with James. He also took the girls outside to play from time to time to release some of their pent up energy! When I brought my fur babies home they were exhausted and nap time all around. I always knew what was going on when I was out of town! Thanks James!!”
“Catherine was so great! She kept me updated on how Lulu was doing and sent videos and pictures throughout the stay. She even washed the little shirt Lulu wears so it was fresh and clean when is picked her up.”
“Morgan and her family were amazing! They honestly went above and beyond with caring for Blue. She sent so much lovely photos and a couple of videos showing that he was having a really good time in their home with their dogs and kiddos. She even pointed out a few things that he can use some help on when we asked. If we ever needed to go out of town again Morgan would absolutely be the first person we asked. She clearly cares deeply for her dogs and her family and it translated really incredibly to how she cared for our boy.”
