“Shawna took absolutely wonderful care of my baby while I was out of town. She sent me a ton of pictures and videos and he looked like he was having so much fun that he didn’t even have time to miss me!! Will definitely be a repeat customer and will highly be recommending her to everyone I know!!! Thanks Shawna!!”
“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”
“KRISTI T- Peppa and Sheba LOVED their 4 day vacation with you. Thanks for your kind attention to them and me. Your doggie door and easy access backyard was perfect for my girls 😜. I’m so glad they got along with your kitties! I love that you work from home - they got more attention from you than at home. We will definitely be asking you again to have them back.”
“We were incredibly impressed with the level of care and attention Ryan and family provided for Bailey. They went above and beyond to ensure his comfort and well-being. We highly recommend them”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.”
“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Danni is truly a one of a kind caring and communicative dog boarder. She is incredibly personable and was always responsive to our many questions, not to mention she provided a ton of photos too! As our dogs do attest, there is no where else they would consider other than Danni’s! You really need to look no further.”
“Goose seemed to absolutely love being over at Skylar’s with their dog Cooper. She sent videos and pictures each day, which I love. Always nice to see your pup having a good time while you are out of town! Would definitely recommend booking with Skylar. Goose didn’t seem to want to leave.”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Angelica and Elizabeth were wonderful with my fur baby. I missed him like crazy but I knew he was in good hands. I received pictures and videos frequently. I will definitely use them again. They treated him like their own. Thank you”
About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.
“Our dog has become increasingly high maintenance in his senior years as he has become more and more senile. He is a nervous dog that whines when he is not right next me even though the rest of the family is still home. We were so worried that our dog was going to be in a constant state of panic which would be awful for him and a terrible situation to put Lauryn and her family into. Luckily, Lauryn's patience and understanding allowed our dog to feel far more comfortable than we could have hoped for. We are so grateful to Lauryn and her family.”
“Shawna was so great with Moose! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos while I was away. Additionally, she worked to introduce each pup one on one since we weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very attentive and Moose had such a great time playing with his new friends! I’d absolutely recommend Shawna to anyone!”
“Nicole and her family kept our 5 mo old fur baby Archee for 10 days in her home. This was new to us, dog sitters. Both my hubby and I were apprehensive about leaving him. Nicole made us feel comfortable and took excellent care of our baby. He was well loved. We were sent pics while on our vacation so our minds were eased. He was happy and well cared for. We could not have been happier and would certainly use Nicole again. I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Oh my goodness Megan C. Is the best! She took wonderful care of our cats and respected our home over our week long vacation. She communicated with us about the important and not important details of her visits. We came home to 2 very happy cats, clean litter boxes, a beautiful note and pictures of our babies while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again whether it’s for just a day or another 8 day getaway!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and to be honest I was a little nervous, but Vanessa made the process so easy! She was attentive, responsive, and sent lots of photos of my cat while I was away. I would strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind sitter!”
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”
“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”
About: I have had cats my entire life, including now! I am experienced in kitten, senior cat care and everything in between. I have fostered and adopted out multiple litters (including bottle fed babies) and I would love to help you take care of your babies!
“Ravynne was so sweet and kind, she communicated very well and took great care of our babies while we were gone! She kept us informed of any and every change or concern with the pets and even cleaned up some messes! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my senior short-haired tabby cat for the long Memorial Day weekend. She followed the pre-arranged schedule perfectly and performed all the requested duties completely. She communicated with me for every visit, giving details of my cat’s behavior and wellbeing, and providing photos of my cat with each visit. I am very happy with Cassandra’s service and would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little tot! Not only do I have experience with dogs and cats, I also have experience with bunnies, and other exotics as well. I’m a full-time college student at UTC, but in between my classes and my days off I’m fully prepared to care for your furry companion! I will feed and water your pets as needed as well as medication if needed. I will make sure that they have plenty of potty breaks (as well as litter box cleaning). I’ll make sure to keep them active and all sorts of entertainment during my visit! And of course give them all sorts of love!
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!
“Jataelynn is an awesome pet sitter! She went above and beyond to watch my cat Alfred while I was away for a week. She was quick to respond to messages and sent frequent updates. I would highly recommend her!”
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”
About: I understand that cats thrive on routine, comfort, and a calm environment. I take the time to get to know each cat’s unique personality and preferences, whether they love attention and playtime or prefer their own space. I provide attentive care, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, and plenty of affection on their terms. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Lucy is awesome! She took such good care of my shy kitty while I was away, she gave me updates every visit and kept my mind at ease knowing my cat was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I've had cats, dogs, lizards, and even rehabilitated squirrels and other wildlife! I've been helping folks with pet care/ house sitting for over 20 years Walking is very important for both pet and owner so exercise is a must! Trips to the park and regular attention are pretty easy to keep up! Gotta love our fur babies! Paying attention to our pets needs and figuring out what they enjoy and their favorite toys and play time activities has always been very important to me!
About: As a cat mom of four, I’ve learned firsthand how different every cat can be — from shy and independent to playful and attention‑seeking. I handle daily care like feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and keeping routines consistent. I’m comfortable managing multiple cats at once, reading feline body language, and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship or active engagement, I know how to meet their needs and help them feel secure while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Acuff
“Shawna was awesome with our very big eight month old GSD. She sent lots of videos and pictures and kept me updated on our pups visit with her. Shawna has a nice calm present with the dogs and was very accommodating to my schedule.”
“Amanda accommodated our last-minute request so we could take a tour at Cumberland Gap NHP. Her home, dog toy basket, and large yard were perfect for our standard poodle. I would highly recommend her.”
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
About: I provide low-volume, personalized boarding for dogs who deserve more than a kennel experience. I intentionally accept only a small number of dogs at a time so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and individualized care. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and reptiles. As a dental student, attention to detail, communication, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, food-motivated, or has a very specific routine, I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy so they can truly enjoy their stay. A typical day includes plenty of outdoor playtime in my large fenced backyard, lots of attention, couch naps, treats (with owner approval!), enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Some dogs want to spend hours running around the yard, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I study. Either way, they’ll be included in my daily routine and treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited when they arrive and exhausted from fun when they go home! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a large fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and closely supervise all interactions. Before every stay, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs so I can provide the smoothest transition possible. I also provide frequent photo updates and communication throughout the stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
“Jenny was very friendly, and Alexie immediately went straight to her without even looking back to see us leave. When we picked up Alexie she jumped in the car and went to sleep. That tells us she had a great time:)”

“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”
About: I have over 12 years of pet care experience, working with puppies all the way to attentive senior care. My expertise in puppy training allows me to instill good behavior and obedience from a young age, while my senior care skills ensure that older pets receive the extra love and attention they need. Pet owners have trusted me time and again to provide reliable and compassionate care for their beloved animals, making me a standout sitter in the community. While I'm currently unemployed and preparing for my upcoming move to a new job and apartment, I have ample time and flexibility in my daily routine to provide dedicated pet care. It's important to me to make the most of this transitional period by offering my services to pet owners who need assistance. I can give their pets the attention, care, and love they deserve during this time while I'm available. Once I start my new job and settle into the new apartment, I'll reassess my schedule and explore ways to continue supporting pet care For pet sitting in my home, I prioritize safety and comfort. I have a secure, pet-friendly environment with designated spaces for pets to play and rest. I ensure there are no hazardous items within their reach and provide regular supervision to avoid any accidents. Additionally, I follow any specific dietary or medical requirements your pet may have, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on creating a familiar and stress-free environment. I'll always adhere to their usual routines, such as feeding schedules, walks, and playtime activities, to maintain a sense of normalcy for the pets. I take extra precautions to secure the client's home during my visits, ensuring the safety of both the pets and the property.
“We’re in town camping and decided on whim to do some non-puppy friendly activities (mountain coaster and tubing). We contacted Ryan (and family) last minute based on a recommendation and they were WONDERFUL! Great communication… clearly loved on our dog… sent quite a few pics throughout the day. 10 out of 10! We’ll definitely come back when we’re in town again.”

I follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime to help them feel right at home. Pets have access to clean indoor space, comfy spots to nap, and a secure deck to sunbath, and plenty of land for leashed walks. In Clients’ Homes, I care for pets just like you would, keeping them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow all instructions carefully, and give updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Bella's first stay went very well, Daniella took excellent care of our pup and updated us about how she was doing and sent us pictures. Bella had fun and felt comfortable. We'll be back soon:). Thanks, Daniella!”
“Tracy is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her! We were in Pigeon Forge for a baseball tournament and had booked a pet-friendly hotel. Unfortunately, our sweet Grayson experienced severe anxiety at the hotel, and I quickly realized he couldn’t be left alone in the room. Since this was my first time using Rover, I scheduled a meet-and-greet with Tracy. Grayson immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did I. She took him home with her for the day, and he did great. Tracy kept in constant communication and sent pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. We could not have asked for a better experience!”
“Alexis did a really great job taking care of Blair. We received lots of photos of Blair enjoying her time on lots of walks and hanging out with other dogs. Thank you for the great experience using this app.”

About: Born and raised on a farm in Ohio, caring for animals has been in my DNA my whole life! I love animals of every shape and size, and raised Pembroke Welsh Corgi's for many years. Since my corgi's have passed away, I've chose to share my love with the fur babies of family and friends. I'm a single professional that works afternoon/evenings in Knoxville. I am generally available anytime on Monday and Tuesday's, and all other mornings till 1 pm. Also able to transport to airports. I'm able to follow your instructions and routine to keep your beloved companions safe, comfortable and secure. I believe the familiar environment of their home is the best place while you are away.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and birds. As I got older I was fortunate enough to move to the country where I also got to have horses, chickens, and goats. We even had a pet pig! I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets my whole life because they see the passion I have for animals. My dogs have all lived long healthy lives because of the love and care I provide. We currently have two Goldendoodles, who are littermate sisters. We obtained our girls after we lost all 3 of our senior dogs within a year. Our hearts were broken and we knew our home needed dogs running around. We got them at 13 weeks old and had them trained to go out in less than a week. By the next week they knew to ring the bells to go out. We had them crate trained after 3 nights and the only time there was an accident in the crate was when they had an upset stomach. We only used the crates for when we were going to be out and at night. This kept them safe from home hazards. They both loved their crates as it was their safe space. They have both outgrown their crates and sleep in the room with us. They are 2 years old and completely spoiled! If you select me to care for your baby, he/she will get all the love and cuddles the can handle. I am retired but I still have so much energy and what better way to spend my time than playing with animals. I’m available 7 days a week to care for your pets. Currently I am not keeping fur babies in my home due to lack of fencing. Once we fence in our yard I will offer in home care.

I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
“Harlie has been a godsend! She came over to meet Rocket the day before his first walk to meet him and learn his little routine. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve taken care of many many pets. From German shepherds, Labs, Boxers, Beagles, little dogs too, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Chihuahuas. I’ve raised many litters. Pets are not just animals, they are family. Your pet will be right at home in my care, comfort snuggles, playtime. I will care for them like they are my own. I work for myself, and at home so my hours are very flexible and I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur baby! In my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime to help them feel right at home. Pets have access to clean indoor space, comfy spots to nap, and a secure deck to sunbath, and plenty of land for leashed walks. In Clients’ Homes, I care for pets just like you would, keeping them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow all instructions carefully, and give updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little tot! Not only do I have experience with dogs and cats, I also have experience with bunnies, and other exotics as well. I’m a full-time college student at UTC, but in between my classes and my days off I’m fully prepared to care for your furry companion! I will feed and water your pets as needed as well as medication if needed. I will make sure that they have plenty of potty breaks (as well as litter box cleaning). I’ll make sure to keep them active and all sorts of entertainment during my visit! And of course give them all sorts of love!
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.
“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”
“Lucy was great! She came over to meet my dogs before the day she would be coming to pet sit. One of my dogs has been known to be afraid of strangers when we're not home. She was able to give both of my dogs potty breaks and she updated me when she was finished at my house. 5 stars!!”
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I knew early on that working with them was where I belonged. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing general care to keep animals happy, healthy, and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that’s been a natural part of my life since childhood. ⭐ Special Skills • Medication trained and comfortable administering oral and topical treatments • Experienced with bathing, feeding, and maintaining consistent care routines • Skilled in cleaning, sanitation, and keeping pet areas safe and tidy • Strong leash‑handling experience with dogs of all sizes • Familiar with animal behavior, body language, and stress signals • Comfortable caring for high‑energy, large‑breed, and small‑breed pets • Kennel‑experienced with structured routines and caring for multiple animals at once I’m an online full‑time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. Because I study remotely, I’m able to build my day around pet care — feeding, walks, drop‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable. Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free. Even though pets won’t be staying here, the same level of structure, cleanliness, and attention carries over into the care I provide for your pets in their own home. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow your routines closely to keep everything familiar and comfortable. I handle feeding, litter or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any cleaning needed to keep their space tidy. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior. I also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.
About: I've had cats, dogs, lizards, and even rehabilitated squirrels and other wildlife! I've been helping folks with pet care/ house sitting for over 20 years Walking is very important for both pet and owner so exercise is a must! Trips to the park and regular attention are pretty easy to keep up! Gotta love our fur babies! Paying attention to our pets needs and figuring out what they enjoy and their favorite toys and play time activities has always been very important to me!

“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”
“KRISTI T- Peppa and Sheba LOVED their 4 day vacation with you. Thanks for your kind attention to them and me. Your doggie door and easy access backyard was perfect for my girls 😜. I’m so glad they got along with your kitties! I love that you work from home - they got more attention from you than at home. We will definitely be asking you again to have them back.”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Danni is truly a one of a kind caring and communicative dog boarder. She is incredibly personable and was always responsive to our many questions, not to mention she provided a ton of photos too! As our dogs do attest, there is no where else they would consider other than Danni’s! You really need to look no further.”
“Goose seemed to absolutely love being over at Skylar’s with their dog Cooper. She sent videos and pictures each day, which I love. Always nice to see your pup having a good time while you are out of town! Would definitely recommend booking with Skylar. Goose didn’t seem to want to leave.”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Angelica and Elizabeth were wonderful with my fur baby. I missed him like crazy but I knew he was in good hands. I received pictures and videos frequently. I will definitely use them again. They treated him like their own. Thank you”
“Our dog has become increasingly high maintenance in his senior years as he has become more and more senile. He is a nervous dog that whines when he is not right next me even though the rest of the family is still home. We were so worried that our dog was going to be in a constant state of panic which would be awful for him and a terrible situation to put Lauryn and her family into. Luckily, Lauryn's patience and understanding allowed our dog to feel far more comfortable than we could have hoped for. We are so grateful to Lauryn and her family.”
“Shawna was so great with Moose! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos while I was away. Additionally, she worked to introduce each pup one on one since we weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very attentive and Moose had such a great time playing with his new friends! I’d absolutely recommend Shawna to anyone!”
“Nicole and her family kept our 5 mo old fur baby Archee for 10 days in her home. This was new to us, dog sitters. Both my hubby and I were apprehensive about leaving him. Nicole made us feel comfortable and took excellent care of our baby. He was well loved. We were sent pics while on our vacation so our minds were eased. He was happy and well cared for. We could not have been happier and would certainly use Nicole again. I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Thank you so much for watching my babies. They were so well taken care of. She is excellent at this and has the perfect setup and land. My dogs were so happy there and I'll gladly use her every time.”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog Mazie! She sent photos and videos which brought us comfort knowing she was in good hands while we were away. She was professional and accommodating.”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
