“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”

I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. Cats aren’t one-size-fits-all and some want space, some crave affection, and others need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’m attentive, gentle, and always meet each cat where they are. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I take the time to understand their routine, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own way. I’m here to understand, support, and care for all cats

As a parent, I'm organized, dependable, and experienced managing daily routines, making it easy to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.

I also keep the home tidy, respect my clients' property, and provide regular updates with photos so pet owners have peace of mind while they're away.
“This was our first time using Rover for a house/cat sit, and we had an amazing experience with Krystie. Before booking, Krystie answered all questions that we had and asked really good questions to better understand our Smallfry and put our minds at ease. She arrived promptly on the day of the sit so we could walk through the house and introduce her to our cat and how best to care for him. During the stay, Krystie provided multiple status updates each day with photos and video. We could tell by our cat’s behavior that he was very well cared for and made a new best friend. It is always tough leaving a pet for vacation, but with Krystie we knew Smallfry was happy and in good hands. We would definitely book Krystie again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter with an abundance of communication, experience, and kindness.”
“My cats were well taken care of received live updates and photos. They looks so happy and healthy. The fact that my cats interacted with Gina and Alana says alot! I will be re-booking!”
“Ethan was fantastic watching my two cats while my family was on vacation. He fed them, cleaned out the litter box, and cleaned up the messes that one cat left on the floor in protest of us being away. Ethan was responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. I would use him again and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Emily took care of our 2 cats for several days while we were on vacation. She kept us up to date with photos and responses on how they were doing. There was no worry or stress while away, we knew our cats we in good hands. Plan on using Emily again in the future.”

“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“Chloe had an absolute blast — chasing her pup pals like a wannabe track star and relaxing in the shade like the little lady she is. Thanks for taking such great care of her! Can’t wait for her next adventure with you!”
“Jiyao and Yiting take great care of my pup! They are patient and knowledgeable about animals and how to best care for them. My girl came home happy and I had great peace of mind! They communicate well and are kind. I highly recommend them!”
About: Hi! We’re Matt and Katherine. After 17 wonderful years with our beloved mutt, Bella, we find ourselves as "dog empty nesters" with a lot of love (and a big back yard!) to share. We know how hard it is to leave your furry family members, so we make it our mission to spoil your pups just like our own. Whether it’s long games of fetch in our massive yard or cozy snuggles on the couch, your dog will be part of the family here. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant companionship and a flexible routine. I take frequent breaks throughout the day for potty runs, backyard exploration, and focused playtime, ensuring they never feel lonely and get plenty of exercise and love. Our two-acre property is unfenced, offering a wonderful sense of freedom. Depending on your dog's comfort level and recall reliability, we can enjoy off-leash play together, or I am happy to keep them on a long lead for safety. We share custody of our two elementary-aged children; they are very respectful of animals and love having "guest" pups around. We always ensure a supervised and secure environment for everyone.
“Kumud did a great job taking care of Harley! We were visiting family for a day & needed a last minute dog sitter and she made sure Harley was well taken care of, ate all of his meals, and had a lot of fun with the other pups.”
“Katie is absolutely amazing! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Hatchi and made sure that he was comfortable and happy the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he was doing. It’s clear that Katie genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Hatchi came back relaxed and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!”
“Kamini was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me updated every few hours with photos and videos of Biscuit having the best time with her dog, Pia. He came home happy and tired! I 100% recommend her services and will absolutely be rebooking soon!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“Alicia was amazing! We will definitely be using her services again. I’m so happy she understands how dog parents feel when they leave their fur babies with someone new. Our puppy Rio is totally a Covid baby so the extra care is so important to us! Thank you Alicia!”
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”

“Jessica and her mom took wonderful care of my dog, Scooter. He was anxious and shy at first, but they created such a calm, welcoming environment that helped him feel comfortable.

I highly recommend them, and Scooter will definitely be back!”

“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 ****Unfortunately I do not offer 24/7 care**** I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. However I DO NOT offer 24/7 care as I have pets of my own to care for. For your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.
About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Ekaterina was amazing with Zoey! She gave me lots of updates and took such great care of her. She did an amazing job and her kids were so gentle with Zoey too! During Zoey’s stay, she had to take medication and was healing from a cut on her leg - Ekaterina did an amazing job making sure she was being cared for properly. I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”
“Reliable, communicative and professional. All 3 of my pups were happy and well taken care of the week we went on vacation. Areli is very accommodating and has saved us last minute with boarding our babies! 🐶🐶🐶 Highly recommend 👍🏻”
“Kaitlin and her family took fantastic care of Poppy during her stay. She sent numerous photos and videos showing how happy Poppy was in their home. Could not have asked for a better experience.!”
“Chestnut had a great time with Tanvi and her family. He’s always so well cared for and loved when he stays with them. She always sends great photos and videos throughout the day every day of his stay. Thank you again so much!”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Trista was amazing. I found out that I had to go out of town without much warning, and she had no problem accommodating our last minute request and pupsitting my golden. Trista sent pictures and updates, which were great, and she was flexible with our pickup time since the snow affected my commute. Riley played so much that she was exhausted when we brought her home! I will definitely be rebooking this awesome sitter!”
“There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Kyle and his wonderful family for taking such INCREDIBLE care of our Bogey!! They were absolutely amazing, loving, caring, and put our minds totally at ease while we were on vacation! We highly recommend Kyle and cannot thank him enough for the superb job he did taking care of our big boy!! Thanks again Kyle! You are one in a million!! With all our gratitude and warmest regards, The Montana Family”
“Michele is very responsive and also excellent with keeping us updated on how our 2 furry ones were doing. So glad we found her and our furry ones grew fond of her. We definitely recommend her to others and we will always contact her for our future stays.”
“Such an amazing experience using Rover. Jaclynn was in constant contact with us and made us feel so much better about being away. Our dog had a great time with her! We will definitely use her again when we go away.”
“Starry and Gio were great! I left my puppy with them for a day and everything went well :) they were always very responsive and understanding about my dog's needs (which were many given he's a small puppy). They sent multiple pictures to make sure I was tranquil I would leave Buddy with them again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent experience! Lupe was fantastic with our dog! He was very communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates with pictures and videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear he’s experienced and genuinely caring — our dog was relaxed and happy when we got back. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely book with him again! Highly recommend it!”
“Sayak went above and beyond of our expectations. Great sitter. Great communication, always stays in touch, sent pictures throughout the day. Rex had a wonderful time. We highly recommend him. We can’t thank him and his family enough and will definitely book him again. Thanks for everything.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Emma! She was incredibly responsive from the start and sent so many updates throughout my pup’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I don’t trust many people with my dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such great hands. My pup can be a little shy in new environments, and she was so patient, taking the time to help her feel comfortable. Her dog was an absolute angel! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
