(85 lbs)”
“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 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’d only used Rover once prior to boarding with Leslie and had a pretty bad experience so for a while we went back to boarding our dog. I’m SO glad we gave rover another shot and found Leslie. She was SO sweet and kind and kept us informed the entire trip. A few days before we left for our trip our dog had an allergic reaction, meaning Leslie was going to have to give her medicine and tend to her needs more than normal. She was so helpful and we couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely use her services in the future!”

“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.

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: 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.
“Leslie is very professional and kind. She values the safety of my dogs and makes sure they are comfortable being in a new environment. She was flexible with my drop off/pick up times and I would highly recommend to others and book again for future care!”
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 am a SAHW 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!
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: As a dedicated dog walker with two years of experience, I ensure your dog gets the exercise, safety, and outdoor stimulation they need. Beyond daily walks, I spent two years fostering kittens, which gave me deep experience managing strict care routines, observing subtle health and behavior cues, and providing gentle hands-on care. As the owner of a senior dog, I also understand firsthand the extra patience, slow-paced mobility support, and specialized attention older pups require. Whether your dog is an energetic walker needing a brisk workout or a senior companion needing gentle care, I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and dedication I give my own. Because I am not currently working, pet care is my primary focus each day. My open and highly flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate your pet’s exact routine, whether that means morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, specific mealtime schedules, or late-night check-ins. I have full availability throughout the week for requests and extended playtimes, and uninterrupted companionship, ensuring your pet gets undivided attention without being rushed. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment, routine, and sense of security. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and play, while also keeping your space tidy and secure. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I provide attentive supervision, fresh water, and plenty of love before leaving them happy and safe. In my home, safety, comfort, and a calm environment come first. As a pet owner myself to a senior dog and two cats, I ensure all animals are properly introduced, supervised, and given their own comfortable spaces to relax. Whether at your house or mine, I treat every pet with the same patience, dedication, and gentle care I give my own.
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.
“Michelle was a big help for a last minute booking! She kept Bailey for about 8 hours for me and we will definitely be repeat customers if we need someone to watch him again.”
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.

“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!”
“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: 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 have had animals my entire life. Solely being responsible for the care of livestock for multiple years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and fish. ‼️I must be able to bring my infant with me during weekdays. Weekends I do not have to bring him and can do any pet‼️ I have open availability everyday of the week including the weekends. I am flexible on times and can work with whatever best suits you and your pet. I abide by any instructions that I am provided. Dogs will be walked on a leash at all times to ensure their safety during the outing.
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: 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: 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: As a dedicated dog walker with two years of experience, I ensure your dog gets the exercise, safety, and outdoor stimulation they need. Beyond daily walks, I spent two years fostering kittens, which gave me deep experience managing strict care routines, observing subtle health and behavior cues, and providing gentle hands-on care. As the owner of a senior dog, I also understand firsthand the extra patience, slow-paced mobility support, and specialized attention older pups require. Whether your dog is an energetic walker needing a brisk workout or a senior companion needing gentle care, I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and dedication I give my own. Because I am not currently working, pet care is my primary focus each day. My open and highly flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate your pet’s exact routine, whether that means morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, specific mealtime schedules, or late-night check-ins. I have full availability throughout the week for requests and extended playtimes, and uninterrupted companionship, ensuring your pet gets undivided attention without being rushed. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment, routine, and sense of security. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and play, while also keeping your space tidy and secure. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I provide attentive supervision, fresh water, and plenty of love before leaving them happy and safe. In my home, safety, comfort, and a calm environment come first. As a pet owner myself to a senior dog and two cats, I ensure all animals are properly introduced, supervised, and given their own comfortable spaces to relax. Whether at your house or mine, I treat every pet with the same patience, dedication, and gentle care I give my own.

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.

“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.”
“Savana was very sweet and took good care of my 15 year old lab mix, Josie. She sent me pictures along the way. She also administered arthritis meds to my dog. I needed help loading her into my car when picking her up(Josie has bad arthritis and can no longer jump in the car by herself),and instead of assisting me, she loaded her for me, making it look very simple. (85 lbs)”
“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!”
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.
“This is the first time we have boarded Rosie through Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better person. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and getting updates about how she was doing. Definitely recommend!!”
“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!”
“I’d only used Rover once prior to boarding with Leslie and had a pretty bad experience so for a while we went back to boarding our dog. I’m SO glad we gave rover another shot and found Leslie. She was SO sweet and kind and kept us informed the entire trip. A few days before we left for our trip our dog had an allergic reaction, meaning Leslie was going to have to give her medicine and tend to her needs more than normal. She was so helpful and we couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely use her services in the future!”

Updates in the form of photos, video, and reports on their behavior and fun made my worries of leaving my boys behind disappear!”
“This was the first time my pup was away from our family and Jennifer was the right choice. She was an AMAZING caretaker for my sweet 5 month old husky Peppa. Jennifer remained in consistent contact with me and sent many pictures which was always the highlight of my day. Jennifer gave my girl lots of love and attention. Her passion for dogs is what makes her exceptionally. She truly treats your pup like her own. I will always use Jennifer's services for my pup.”
