“Alyssa boarded our two dogs for 4 days. She was phenomenal, as well as her two girls and husband. Our Daisy and Moose could not have been in better hands. Her own dog, Bella, greeted us as we arrived, and our dogs and Bella immediately started playing. Alyssa sent us pictures every day and made us feel very confident that they were not only receiving excellent care, but also enjoying their stay immensely. We would not hesitate to use her again as she provides excellent care.”
“Carri was awesome with my pup! She took very good care of him and was gave awesome daily updates! Made me feel very comfortable while I was away on vacation knowing my dog was in great hands!”
“Adrienne was awesome with our senior and our puppy, both dachshunds. They settled in right away and came home exhausted from all the attention. This was our first time boarding our pets, and we could not have had a better experience.”
“Tyler and his family are the best!! Tyler sent pics of Harley daily and made sure our Harley was well taken care of and happy!!! We will definitely be using Tyler again!! Thanks Tyler!!!🥰”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Cyndie was great! Her home is super accommodating and setup perfectly for sitting. Our pup couldn’t have had a better experience. If Cyndie will have him, he will be back!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone since we adopted him, so I was definitely nervous about leaving him for 36 hours. She was incredibly kind, caring, and reassuring throughout his stay, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates, and she was always so quick to respond whenever I had a question. It was such a relief to see him happy and well cared for while we were away. You can really tell that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so glad we chose her to take care of our dog, and we would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup! ❤️🐾”
“As always, Robert and his family took great care of our fur baby! It is great not having to worry about how your dog is doing when you go out of town. Copper once again came home worn out, which tells me he had a blast. Thanks again!”
“I highly recommend Sarah for anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter. She and her family welcomed Louis and Fendi like their own, Louis was grinning from ear to ear, and Fendi was completely relaxed and spoiled with cuddles in all the pictures received. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I’ve used Jamie multiple times and never have had an issue. Very accommodating and my pup always seems to have enjoyed her stay there. Highly recommend as I’ll continue to use her for my Rover needs.”
“This is the second time that Jenae has taken care of my boys for an extended stay. She takes very well care of my babies and I was not at all worried about leaving them for a week. Jenae is my go to pet sitter.”
“Gabbi, Justin, and JT were phenomenal!!! We had never left our dog with anyone but family before. They took such good care of our Taber. He sunned himself in their nice big backyard, got loves on the couch, and slept in bed with them. I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful family to care for your pet family. Thanks again so much. They will be the only ones we leave our Taber with. Will use them every time!!!!”
“Chris is absolutely amazing and spoils our dog her whole visit. Nana has stayed with Chris 4 or 5 times now and gets excited when we pull in the driveway. Chris is definitely our go to anytime we travel and need a place to leave our furbaby”
“Shoshanna was very attentive to any changes/ concerns in behavior and kept me updated on care. She's decisive and communicative as if Averi were her own. And the daily pics/text are a plus!”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Misty is the best! My dog, Roxy usually doesn't eat when I am away, but she ate while being with Misty, and I could tell by the videos and pics that she enjoyed her time with Misty. I will definitely come back to her for the next trip.”
“Edward & Margarette were so great! Drop off and pick up were smooth and their home was clean and perfect. They sent updates daily and were very sweet while sitting - the communication was great! Would def recommend them and rebook with them in the future!”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”

“Hannah was great. She kept me posted. The house was clean and she did all that I asked. My cat warmed up to her and I was greatful someone was caring for her while I was away. Peace of mind is so important.”
“Taylor was amazing! She was so attentive and went above and beyond. She treated our kiddos like they were her own. I was so worried to leave them behind but I felt 100% comfortable the entire time away from them because she did such a fine job.”
About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.
“Sophie is AMAZING!!!! She did such a great job taking care of our cats. She stayed in our home and left everything just the way it was when we left. Excellent communication. She sent us a lot of updates and pictures which we appreciate so much. We are so happy with her service, and we fully recommend her. We will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you Sophie!!”

About: I've taken care of animals starting from a young age. I love animals and enjoy having them around and caring for them. Animals are a significant part of my everyday life. I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play.

I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.

I’ve also owned a few dogs here and there, including a chihuahua. (I have more experience with small dogs.) As of now, I am completely free all Monday through Sunday, so feel free to book me whenever. There are times I do go to church on Sundays around 1:30pm to 3, so anytime after would work. I can take care of animals indoors. I have an animal gate to help prevent them from going upstairs and having access to the stairs.

About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.
About: I’ve always had a pet my whole life. From going on walks, to doing their nail trims. I’m very familiar with how to keep dogs happy! I would love to get to play with a pet after a work shift! Willing to make time on my days off as well . I can keep pets in crate if needed, take them out when needed and make sure they have a great time while they’re with me!
About: Since childhood, I've had dogs, cats, fish and snakes. In the past 10 years, we have 5 dogs in the family. I have taken care of friend's pets as well (dogs and bunny). I take pride in trying to understand all their different personalities and letting them be their true selves. Seeing a true smile on a dogs face, while they're doing zoomies or running through the backyard, brings me so much joy <3 I am open to dog walks and house visits currently. My availability is mostly weekdays, but I am open to the occasional evening, weekend or overnight. I will be sure your pets are safe and happy, with full water bowls, and fed/given medication on their schedule. (We have several seniors that need medication on a schedule, so I fully understand the importance of that). I am happy to play with your pets in your yard (after I check the gate is secure), or in the house. I also provide plenty of attention in the way of pets and snuggles :)
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at Middle Tennessee State University with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This means I am available often for your pets! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have two cats. I love pets of all kinds, and I’d be glad to take care of yours when you need! I currently only work part time, so my schedule is pretty open. I wanted to fill my time with something fun and rewarding! I’d love to watch your pets! I just make sure to be attentive and follow any instructions clearly! I would never want someone to take advantage of my house or pet. I
About: Growing up we always kept animals in the house, I’ve had at least one pet since I was 6 years old, cats, dogs, fish, frogs, I love them all!! My #1 concern is your pets safety, and their happiness! I’m a very early riser, usually up at about 5-6am every morning, so I can be available for super early walks/potty breaks. I have a very flexible work from home schedule and can leave at any point so I can work around your schedule! I have a hands free leash that I always bring with me. I can use that primarily, or both leashes. Safety is priority! No one expects accidents to happen but I like to be as prepared as possible.
About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: When I’m pet sitting your best friends, they will receive Play Time, Constant Attention, Affection, Love, as well as a safe environment to be in. Animals are my passion and are a ginormous part of my life. I will go above and beyond for your four-legged best friend 💪🏽 after all…. It’s what they deserve for their undying loyalty. I’m currently a student who studies virtually from home. I have open availability throughout the entire week. Being a student allows me to have a lot of free time. Your fur babies will be exercised, loved, and be safe at all times with me. I look forward to taking care of your best friend I have a dog named Bear who’s an absolute sweetheart. His daily schedule is eating supplements, vitamins, and his food once in the morning and once at night. He takes 1-2 hour daily trips to the Dog Park, and well as receiving constant affection and love. Your dog deserves the same treatment.
About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.
About: I’m a huge animal lover with years of pet sitting experience! I grew up with 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a parrot, and I’ve cared for animals of all sizes from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and care. I also have years of ongoing experience with birds! I have a conure of my own and have cared for other birds, so I understand their unique personalities and care needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur or feathered baby! I’m currently finishing school online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby, so I’m happy to provide references and frequent updates to give you peace of mind. I am always willing to accommodate to each pet’s routine, needs, and home environment, and I’m happy to accommodate any preferences or instructions that help you and your pet feel comfortable.
About: I treat every pet like they're my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient and attentive with puppies who are still learning routines, and I'm equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra care and attention. I believe in clear communication, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine as much as possible. This helps them feel comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and energy level so they receive the care and attention that's right for them. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, and make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of affection. If your pet requires medication or extra care, I'm happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure their needs are met.
About: I make sure to show the animals all the love and attention they need! It is more to taking care of pets than just feeding and walking them! They need physical affection as well! I have two dogs myself so i’m very used to taking good care of animals 24/7. I want to do this full time so it would fit into my schedule very well! I make sure to take lots of time with my animals and i also make sure to keep a very close eye on certain animals!
About: I have been taking care of different pets throughout my childhood as well as recently with several dog walking, and sitting experiences. My families house has several cats and dogs so I know my experience with them will be useful for other pets I sit. I am currently working part time but my job hours are flexible so I am able to switch around if offers come up last minute I have a fenced backyard to allow the dog maximum space to roam. I am not uptight on keeping them off couches due to me having hand me downs but will respect and follow any guidelines the parents have

“Alyssa boarded our two dogs for 4 days. She was phenomenal, as well as her two girls and husband. Our Daisy and Moose could not have been in better hands. Her own dog, Bella, greeted us as we arrived, and our dogs and Bella immediately started playing. Alyssa sent us pictures every day and made us feel very confident that they were not only receiving excellent care, but also enjoying their stay immensely. We would not hesitate to use her again as she provides excellent care.”
“Carri was awesome with my pup! She took very good care of him and was gave awesome daily updates! Made me feel very comfortable while I was away on vacation knowing my dog was in great hands!”
“Adrienne was awesome with our senior and our puppy, both dachshunds. They settled in right away and came home exhausted from all the attention. This was our first time boarding our pets, and we could not have had a better experience.”
“Tyler and his family are the best!! Tyler sent pics of Harley daily and made sure our Harley was well taken care of and happy!!! We will definitely be using Tyler again!! Thanks Tyler!!!🥰”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Cyndie was great! Her home is super accommodating and setup perfectly for sitting. Our pup couldn’t have had a better experience. If Cyndie will have him, he will be back!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone since we adopted him, so I was definitely nervous about leaving him for 36 hours. She was incredibly kind, caring, and reassuring throughout his stay, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates, and she was always so quick to respond whenever I had a question. It was such a relief to see him happy and well cared for while we were away. You can really tell that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so glad we chose her to take care of our dog, and we would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup! ❤️🐾”
“As always, Robert and his family took great care of our fur baby! It is great not having to worry about how your dog is doing when you go out of town. Copper once again came home worn out, which tells me he had a blast. Thanks again!”
“I’ve used Jamie multiple times and never have had an issue. Very accommodating and my pup always seems to have enjoyed her stay there. Highly recommend as I’ll continue to use her for my Rover needs.”
“This is the second time that Jenae has taken care of my boys for an extended stay. She takes very well care of my babies and I was not at all worried about leaving them for a week. Jenae is my go to pet sitter.”
“Chris is absolutely amazing and spoils our dog her whole visit. Nana has stayed with Chris 4 or 5 times now and gets excited when we pull in the driveway. Chris is definitely our go to anytime we travel and need a place to leave our furbaby”
“Shoshanna was very attentive to any changes/ concerns in behavior and kept me updated on care. She's decisive and communicative as if Averi were her own. And the daily pics/text are a plus!”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Maggie and Michael were amazing!! They took great care of my very energetic dog! They sent pictures and updates everyday to keep me in the loop! Benji came home happy and exhausted! Would definitely book again!”
“I wish I could give Rachel 10 stars!! Rachel and her girls treated my pup like part of the family. She was GREAT about communication and sending pics every day of my dog :) My girl Rose got lots of walks, lots of cuddles, and lots of love from Rachel and her family. They truly have such a heart for animals and deeply enjoyed Rose. Rachel will be my FIRST call anytime I need pet care in the future. She has the perfect setup for hosting animals with lots of room to run and play! I cannot recommend her enough. LOOK NO FURTHER, BOOK RACHEL ??????”
“Kenny took care of my sweet girl Elsie. He kept us updated with videos and pictures for the 18 days that he watched her. I will definitely have Kenny watch my fur baby in the near future. Thank you again Kenny and his fur babies. ☺️”
“Great loving atmosphere for our young dog. He was well loved and we felt so happy he could be with this sweet family in a loving home environment where he obviously got lots of cuddle time. I would be glad to book with Patti and again!”
“Maribel and her family were amazing! They took care of our dog for a week and he had a blast. She sent us pics daily and gave us updates. Our dog seemed so happy and content with them. She took such good care of him, it made me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her. And her sweet boys kept him busy!”
