“Brett and Stephanie took exceptional care of my two dogs while we were on vacation. Since this was our first time using them, they meet us and our dogs days before to ensure we were comfortable in selecting them. Exceptional communication from the moment I reached out, until after the end of our dogs’ stay in their home. Pics and videos sent throughout each day. They offered the use of their kennel for our puppy so I didn’t have to load up and bring our own. They had toys for our dogs to play with on top of the personal ones we brought. My mind was at ease during our entire vacation, and I have to admit they seemed reluctant to leave when I came to pick them up and take them home!!! Will be using Brett and Stephanie from this point forward! And I know my dogs will look forward to visiting them again soon.”

I know my dog was well cared for and most importantly welcomed.”

She took her to grooming and dealt with giving her meds and her special needs. I would highly recommend her to others in need of a pet sitter.”
“Alison was wonderful with our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, both on meds, one a senior. They got lots of walks, yard time, and snuggles, and I got regular pics and updates!

I was out of the country and so nervous to leave my fur baby for so long, but Melissa made sure to give Harper lots of love and sent me updates on how she was doing while I was away! I felt completely comfortable with her watching Harper for me while I was away and would recommend Melissa to anyone! Melissa, Harper and I both say thanks!”
“I cannot recommend booking with Mickale enough!!! My sweet cat just recently went through a tail amputation procedure and Mickale took excellent care of her while I was gone. While I was away, my cat’s tail wounds reopened and she had to be taken to the emergency animal center to get them stitched back up. Not only did Mickale pick my cat up from the emergency center early in the morning and drop her off all the way across town at a pet boarding hospital, but she was incredible at communicating with me about what was happening throughout the entire time she was caring for my cat and she went so above and beyond with caring for my sweet kitty. Please book Mickale for any pet sitting needs you might have, she is absolutely amazing!!!”

“Jasmin is phenomenal! I adopted my two cats last November and I had a family vacation this June. I was so anxious about being away from them for 10 days.

When I met her the day I dropped them off I knew I had chosen the perfect sitter!!💜”

About: I’ve taken care of both doggos and cats since I was 13. My family used to rescue dogs and rehome them, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds from Great Danes to Yorkies to all kinds of kitties as well as a range of ages from newborns to seniors. I can bottle feed and administer medicine if needed. I just love being around animals, so I can assure you that your babies will receive the best treatment imaginable with me. All the love you would normally give them will be felt with my care :) I work from home full time and have the flexibility to step away from my computer whenever I need to. This means I am able to provide constant supervision and care to your fur babies. I care for at most one doggo or cat at a time so I can ensure your fur baby is safe and being cared for properly. I have lots of fenced land to play and walk them while they are here. For non-boarding services, you can trust that I will care for your babies as if they were receiving the care directly from you. I am willing to travel to your home to check on your babies, play with them, and take care of their needs.

About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was a toddler. I currently have three cats of my own who definitely run the house, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and quirky behaviors. I also regularly help care for my mom’s dog, Petey, so I stay very familiar with day to day dog care like walks, feeding, attention, and reading different dog personalities. In the past, I’ve also had dogs of my own, including a beloved senior dog who lived to an old age. Caring for her taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding the needs of older pets. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. From friendly and playful to shy or more “spicy.” I’m calm, patient, and always take the time to let pets warm up at their own pace. I also have experience administering medications, including ear washes and oral medications, so I’m comfortable helping with basic care routines if needed. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping their routine consistent. For cats, I understand the importance of trust, space, and gentle, low-stress care. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ As a stay at home mom of one child, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week, into the weekend. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine since I already manage a household and care for pets of my own. I’m organized, dependable, and make sure each visit is given my full attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I respect all instructions carefully and make sure pets stay in their normal environment with as little stress as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines as requested. I take my time to be sure pets feel comfortable with me, especially shy or anxious pets, and I never rush interactions. I also keep a close eye on doors, gates, and safety concerns to ensure pets remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide reliable, calm care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

I have 2 friendly dogs that are able to keep your fur baby company
About: I’ve had 4 dogs, 2 cats, fish and a hamster growing up. I always kept them feed. They always loved me very much. Thank you I am a recent graduate of Tennessee college of applied technology with a certification on animal caretaking. I completed an internship at an animal hospital where I got to practice administering medications, keeping animals comfortable, etc. I will provide food and water for the animals and take them on walks and show them love and affection while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs ranging from big dogs to puppies. My dad has 4 dogs and puppies and my mom had 1 puppy. Since I live with my mom, I saw my puppy the most and he was my world. I did everything for him and did everything with him. I am currently an at home college student so taking care of pets fits in my schedule perfectly and I am 100% capable of providing the care and love for your pets. I have a fenced yard and a 9 year old sister in which we both will play and care for your dogs every needs and I am capable of crating your puppy if necessary.
About: I've had pets all of my life. I love all animals especially dogs. I currently have a toy poodle named jewels . Jewels is actually my sister's dog but she was born on my birthday and we've been inseparable since the first day I laid eyes on her. The love of a pet is unconditional and that's one of the characteristics i love most about dogs. They can sense danger and they can also sense when they are in good hands. Im a 35 year old stay at home mom (to a 2 year old daughter) that loves animals and wants your fur baby to be shown as much love as I would show my own. Hopefully I can help someone whose feeling the guilt of working long hours and not being able to walk or spend as much time as they would like with their pet. Ive been there before so I can definently relate. Sometimes things come up and it has happened to all of us. Hopefully I can help by being that piece of mind for you to know that your pet is not lonely and is in excellent care. My daughter goes to daycare during the week so im pretty flexible 7 days a week. Im ok with schedules but I also understand that things happen. Some situations are unplanned and last minute and that's ok with me as well. Communication is everything. I live in a community that loves dogs and im sure your fur baby will love visiting here. I am a homeowner and I have a big gated backyard as well as a park with a walking trail that I visit frequently on a weekly basis.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! Before pursuing Occupational Therapy, I completed coursework on a pre-veterinary track, giving me additional knowledge of animal care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going for a run, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine. I’ll always treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I recently graduated with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
About: I'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.
“Jenny has been an excellent dog walker for us! She’s professional, flexible with scheduling, and communicative. 100% recommend and will be using her services for boarding in the future! She shows my baby lot of love and attention too!”
About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own, 2 labahoulas and a schnoodle. I do not currently have any cats but have had in the past so I'm very familiar with their temperament. I have a 6 ft privacy fenced back yard, approximately 1/2 acre, for them to spend as much time as they want. My dogs are allowed on the furniture and my bed but if I am sitting in your house, your rules apply. I have kept friends and family pets over the years and have been around dogs and cats most of my life and love to pet them, scratch them behind the ears, treat them like babies. I will treat your babies like family. I have experience with medications, oral and shots. If your dogs like to take walks, I live on a road that doesn't see much traffic so it's a great place for walks. I do not work outside the home so I am here with your precious babies the majority of the time. While they are with me they will be treated like family. I have a fenced yard so your babies have plenty of space to run and play with my three babies. They will also have full run of my house, especially when its extremely hot or cold.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I've volunteered at animal shelters since I was 10. I have watched, cared for, trained, and raised my animals as well as family and friends. I'm very intuitive with animals and never have met one that doesn't not love me. I will treat your animals like just as you would. I spoil mine and love them dearly. I have taken care of puppies and dogs with special needs. Nothing is off the table. My schedule is pretty open. I work as a firefighter but we only work 11 days out of the month so time with your fur babies will be plentiful and you and them will definitely appreciate it. I have crate trained all my animals and they all see it as their safe space. I have a big yard that is fenced for dogs of all sizes. My 2 dogs Nugget and Leo are super sweet, obedient, and very loving and playful. Each dog of mine has medication needs so that is not foreign to me at all. I can adjust to your animals needs and wants to make them happy and spoiled as can be.
About: Took a few years break from Rover to give full focus to one of my old fur babies but now am back with more expertise to take care of your older babies. I've had dogs, cats and horses since before I could even walk. So taking care of your pup or cat will be no problem! Any special needs your dog/cat might need I can make sure to attend to! I have a passion for all animals! I love playing with them all the time and making sure they get all the exercise/love they need! I'm also very gentle so if you have a dog/cat that is a little on the shy side I'll be more than willing to accommodate he/shes needs. I have been to many obedience classes with my dogs so I understand the signals that you may or may not use for your pup! I hope you look into asking me to help you with taking care of apart of your animal family! Thank you for looking into my profile!
