“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!”
“Ryan took great care of our energetic 7 month old puppy!! A great experience throughout from booking to pick up. Communication was always excellent and they sent tons of pics of our pup having a blast. Seemed like puppy paradise!! Definitely recommend!!”
“Mrs. Sandra took such great care of our boy! She sent lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing well. She was also always very responsive. They have a wonderful set up for the pups to play safely in the yard. This was our pups first time staying away from us and he looked like he had the best time and can’t wait to go back!”
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 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❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. 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.”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful! She took our dog Leo on very short notice and took amazing care of him. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Leo loved her, when we went to get him he kept walking back to her wanting her to pet him. I would recommend Jeanie to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Trey was AWESOME! Presley left his house looking super happy as she got to hang out with dogs all week! Trey also shared updates with us daily and some fun photos for us to enjoy. We will definitely be using Trey for any future trips :)”
“First time Rover user here and couldn’t have asked for anything better with Cassy. She took amazing care of my senior lab. He looked like he had the best time and got lots of love and play time. My daily pictures and videos allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in good care. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Skylar was a phenomenal sitter for Milo. She was highly responsive, communicative, and took great care of him! She sent daily pictures so that I was updated on how he was doing. I was absolutely booked with Skylar again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve always been around cats and caring for them has just been part of my life. I understand their personalities, routines, and how important it is to give them space, comfort, and gentle attention on their terms. I’ve grown up with cats in the home and have experience with feeding routines, litter box care, basic grooming like brushing, and making sure they feel safe and stress-free while their owners are away. I also have experience house sitting, so I’m comfortable keeping your home tidy and respected while caring for your cat. My goal is to make sure your cat feels calm, cared for, and comfortable—and that you feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re gone.
About: I had a Great Dane for 8 years. Proficient in giant breeds and senior dogs. Love to walk and hike with dogs. Had cats since I was a child and currently have three at home. Currently volunteering at the Humane Society. I'm available Monday thru Friday to walk dogs and home visits for dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible. I'm available for overnight pet sitting upon request. If overnight pet-sitting I prefer to meet with the pet parents prior to spending the night so that I understand your pet's schedule and needs.
“This is my second time having Vanessa look after my cat while I was away, and just like before, she did a great job. She always sends me updates with pictures of him, and let’s me know his litter has been scooped and that he’s been fed. My cat, while affectionate, is a shy guy who’s slow to warm up to people, and I can tell she does a great job respecting his boundaries and giving him attention on his terms. Thanks, Vanessa! 🙏🏻”
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.
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.
“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!”
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!
“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.”
“Gina was incredible! She went above and beyond for our two golden retrievers. She played with them each drop in, let them potty, checked their bowls and gave them treats. She was super attentive to them and their needs. We got text messages and pictures with every drop in. She also left us a sweet note on the final day! Gina is definitely amazing!”
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!
“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful with my kitty! She was so patient with my shy girl, sent pictures and videos every day, and took amazing care of her. I 10/10 recommend her for pet care!!”
“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.”
“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 dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and dogs who need a good walk to burn off some steam. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I make sure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning, attentive to senior dogs who need a slower pace, and always mindful of each dog’s individual personality and energy level. I take safety seriously, follow instructions closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day or time for walks, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and last-minute walks as needed. I focus on safe, attentive walks that fit each dog’s energy level, follow all instructions, prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention, and make every walk enjoyable.

“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.”
“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”
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’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.
“Kristy was wonderful with our girl! She sent pictures throughout the day letting us know how she was doing and what she was up to. We had total peace of mind and know that our dog had a great day with great care.”
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.
“Wonderful experience! Koda did NOT want to leave, he had such a good time with Jenny and her dogs. I've never seen our dog so exhausted and happy. Lots of updates with video, and Jenny was very flexible when we were stuck in traffic coming home. She was awesome!”
About: I’ve owned and have taken care of several different animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm makes me feel well equipped to take care of your furry friends! We currently have three dogs; Millie,Lady our foster dog Minnie; and they are our pride and joy. From morning to night they are always with me. Routines are key in our house! I can care for you pets any way you need me too. I’m completely comfortable and confident in my care towards a wide variety of animals! Your furry friends will have a comfy bed to sleep in or fenced in acres to roam.
“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.”
“Daniella is probably the most responsive, compassionate, and attentive Dog sitter. She sends so many updates and communicates constantly Our dog is SUPER high energy and she is absolutely dead when we pick her up after a day at Daniella’s.”
About: I’m a natural dog lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I’ve had four Great Danes as part of my family, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds and understanding their unique personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has always come naturally to me, and I have a strong nurturing instinct that makes caring for animals feel effortless and rewarding. I am very free this summer for June and July. My schedule is very flexible as I am a teacher and I'm not working right now. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I live in a large house with plenty of space and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, relax, and explore safely. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, and there’s no better way to enjoy that time than with a pet by my side. I’m attentive, nurturing, and committed to making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and part of the family while they’re with me.
“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.”

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to love on your fur baby. I love all animals. But dogs have a special place in my heart. I had my backyard fenced in 2024 for my grandpuppies when they visit. It is perfect for hosting other fur babies too. Since I am retired, I am home most of the time. I have 1 dog, Buster Brown. My daughter & SIL adopted him in 2023. He is a rescue and turned 3 on March 10, 2026. He came to live with me in Feb of this year. He's the sweetest boy and loves to play with all dogs.

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: What sets me apart is that caring for animals and homes has always been part of my everyday life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so understanding routines, responsibility, and making sure pets feel safe and loved comes naturally to me. In high school, I ran my own small pet care and house-sitting service, which gave me real experience being dependable in someone else’s home and earning their trust. I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, so I don’t just care for your pets—I help keep your home tidy, respected, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can help with basic grooming like brushing and baths, and I always follow routines closely so pets feel as comfortable as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and have always made time for. I’m used to being responsible and organized, so I can easily plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, litter box care, check-ins, and any special instructions a pet may need. I’m flexible during the day and able to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care. I also make sure to leave time for quality attention, not just quick tasks, so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, I naturally build that into my routine as well—making sure the home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. Overall, I structure my time in a way that prioritizes reliability, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe and cared for. I care for pets in a calm, consistent, and attentive way that follows their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure feeding schedules are followed exactly, fresh water is always available, and litter boxes or outdoor potty routines are kept clean and consistent. I also take time for interaction based on each pet’s personality—whether that’s playtime, walks, gentle attention, or simply giving them space if they’re more independent. I’m very mindful and respectful in clients’ homes, and I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, so I keep things tidy and make sure everything is left as I found it or better. I provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always the same: keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for so they feel secure until their owner returns.
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.
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 experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.

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 had a Great Dane for 8 years. Proficient in giant breeds and senior dogs. Love to walk and hike with dogs. Had cats since I was a child and currently have three at home. Currently volunteering at the Humane Society. I'm available Monday thru Friday to walk dogs and home visits for dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible. I'm available for overnight pet sitting upon request. If overnight pet-sitting I prefer to meet with the pet parents prior to spending the night so that I understand your pet's schedule and needs.
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.
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.
“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: (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!!”

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.

“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!”
“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!”
“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. 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.”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful! She took our dog Leo on very short notice and took amazing care of him. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Leo loved her, when we went to get him he kept walking back to her wanting her to pet him. I would recommend Jeanie to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Trey was AWESOME! Presley left his house looking super happy as she got to hang out with dogs all week! Trey also shared updates with us daily and some fun photos for us to enjoy. We will definitely be using Trey for any future trips :)”
“First time Rover user here and couldn’t have asked for anything better with Cassy. She took amazing care of my senior lab. He looked like he had the best time and got lots of love and play time. My daily pictures and videos allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in good care. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Skylar was a phenomenal sitter for Milo. She was highly responsive, communicative, and took great care of him! She sent daily pictures so that I was updated on how he was doing. I was absolutely booked with Skylar 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.”
“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!”
