“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”
“Ashley was wonderful with Sophie. She kept us consistently updated and was very flexible with her schedule. Since Sophie has anxiety, Ashley’s patience and care really helped her feel comfortable during her stay. I would absolutely book with Ashley again, thank you so much!”
“What a pleasant experience! This was our first time boarding our cat Clovis. Devin and Delisa were the best! Clovis got the best care and I got the best feedback while away! I super recommend them and will be booking with them next time for sure! Thank you so much!”
“What a wonderful experience! Joan’s communicating was top notch from our initial conversation. Her calm and loving demeanor with my dogs and my family gave us a sense of comfort before we even left her doorstep. Joan had nothing but kind words and sweet insight for us. My pups had a lovey stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Joan!”
“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Such a sweet woman ( & dog) ! Saved us when our last minute plans to have Riley watched while we were away fell through. So wonderful to meet yet another great connection in our dog family. Hoping to be able to contact Hanna again soon!”
“Leilani was amazing with my high energy fur baby, she kept me up to date on what she was doing as well as sent lots of positive pictures and videos, we will definitely be asking her to keep our kiya again”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past few eyes and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have been in your shoes trying to find the right person, too! I regularly pet sit for friends & family and genuinely love spending time with animals. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can easily swing by to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and company while you’re away! I currently work from home so I can swing by early in the mornings or late afternoon to hang out with your pet or go on walks. Or, swing by mid afternoon. I am usually open most weekends. When caring for pets in a clients home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will also make to keep the home tidy and provide as many updates/pictures as you would like!
About: I’ve always had and loved dogs! I have a soft spot in my heart for doggies. I would keep my friends and family’s dogs when they would go out of town. These dogs have been all shapes and sizes! Golden retriever, Rottweiler, Pit mix, Pug, Yellow Lab, Jack Russell, and more! I also have volunteered at Young Williams Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs. I am a teacher so I have my summers off and will be readily available to care for your fur baby. I am currently raising a 5 month old Golden Retriever of my own! I am a teacher currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to play and love on dogs! I am available any day of the week for boarding as well as walks! My whole summer is revolving around taking care of my teenaged golden! We have been spending our days going to the pool, going on walks, training, playing fetch, and cuddling! I have a fenced in yard with a playful teenage golden who is ready to make friends. He is super friendly. I also have crates and a play pen inside for dogs to play in without having to free roam the house. I sometimes will take the dogs to our boat on the lake or my in-law’s pool if they enjoy water!
“Sandra was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Stayed in communication to update how well MJ was doing. Loves the pics she sent. He really enjoyed the weekend! Would def book with Sandra again”
“It was my first time leaving my baby girl while I went out of town for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and I was definitely nervous. But finding Kaylee was truly a blessing. She immediately put my mind at ease—sending pictures multiple times a day and keeping great communication throughout. Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy the tournament without worrying. Kaylee is amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for your fur baby like their own.”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care.

I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

“I originally booked Olivia for the wrong month and messaged her in a slight panic when I realized the day after leaving town that my cat had no care set up. She very kindly agreed to change the days and visited that same day after work. I can't say how much I appreciated her kind flexibility, and I will certainly ask her to look after my cat again.”
“Sawyer was wonderful!! This was the first time we left Walter for this long. We were away 8 days. Sawyer contacted us every day and sent photos of Walter every day. It was so reassuring to see that Walter was doing great and really helped our whole family relax on our vacation. Thank You so much Sawyer!!!”
“Meghan was a great cat sitter! She responded quickly and always sent a ton of pictures of my kitty! She made sure he had food and water and always played with him!”
“Veronica was great! She was so communicative and has a personality that my cat loved! My usually shy cat was all about hanging with her new bestie! 10/10 recommend!”
“So grateful for Hila. She is wonderful and very caring! I love reading her rover cards and looking at all the pictures. Also follows all instructions and is a great communicator.”
“Ysalys has been great in taking care of our two kitties while we've been away. Very responsive, willing to help at the last minute, and has followed instructions perfectly. Highly recommended!!”
“Elle was awesome! I have two cats, one of which is very timid and it looked like he warmed up to her right away. She was awesome at communicating, sending photos, and making me feel comfortable leaving them / my home in her care. Would highly recommend her and will definitely be rebooking.”
About: Beginning my serious care for cats but very excited! I have watched and taken care of friend's cats, making sure they are feed and played with! I have great attention to detail and want to give the best experience to you and your fur baby!
“I never have to worry when leaving our cat with Brooke. She always provides great updates and the cutest pictures. Our cat is skittish and does not come out for anyone except Brooke - I swear she’s a kitty whisperer. Highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
About: My family and I have raised cats since I was just a toddler, there’s never not been a whisker-faced friend in the house as far back as I can remember. We’ve had both indoor and outdoor cats and are firm believers in the cat distribution system and adopt-don’t-shop, mostly adopting strays as we came across them or rescuing them from homes and shelters that can no longer house them. Most recently we’ve had up to five cats in the home at a time, and each one showered with the same amount of love and care any of the others would receive. With the amount of time I’ve spent around cats, I’ve come to learn every cat is their own individual with their own personalities, likes, wants, needs, and routines and look forward to experiencing your own fur baby’s uniqueness.
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
“Crystal was wonderful! She’s incredibly kind, she’s super easy to get ahold of, and we always looked forward to her updates about our kitty! Plus, our kitty seemed to love her! We will definitely be looking to book with her again for our next trip!”
“Lauren watched our cat while we were out of town, and as always, our cat loved her! In fact, he rarely sits in anyone’s lap, and there were pictures that she sent us where he was sitting in her lap. It was so cute! She’s clearly a cat whisperer. Can’t wait to hire Lauren again! She’s the best!!”
About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine!

Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!

About: My partner and I both work from home, have a fenced yard and have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds! Having no other pets in the home allow us to provide full attention to your furry friend, provide potty breaks as much as needed and give them all the love! Let us watch your pup today! Pet care fits into my daily routine easily as a WFH employee. I take a walk before and during lunch breaks daily and can provide as many potty breaks as needed. I care for pets by following instructions and information provided by their owners. I think it is beneficial to make their environment as close to home as possible when boarding with me. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to let your pet get familiar with my home and me.
“Brady loves Michael and we love to see Brady’s excitement when he stays with Michael. It’s a blessing to be able to drop him off and to know that he’s being cared for as if he was with a close relative. Thanks Michael!”
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”
“Zoe and her husband were perfect for my dog Gus. I had a last-minute need for someone to watch him and they were very flexible with me. I know my dog enjoyed playing with their dogs too. Thank you guys so much!!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Over the past five years, I’ve trained two puppies for my family and regularly help care for the pets of friends and relatives. At home, I have two friendly dogs and two older children who are wonderful with animals. We live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks, with a nearby park for extra playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dogs and relaxing with them at home. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule with long breaks that allow me to give plenty of attention and care to the pets I watch. I truly look forward to meeting your furry family members and treating them like my own! I'm a teacher that has long breaks to be available for pet sitting during typical vacation times. We usually are up early for breakfast and morning playtime. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love other dogs. We enjoy playing out in the yard but also snuggling on the couch.

“🥹🥹🥹 Lisa is incredibly sweet to my fur baby, she always gives tons of pics and feedback!! This was Ellie’s second stay with Lisa and won’t be her last either :) thank you Lisa for everything that you continue to do for us”
“All I can say is Kenzie is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover.com and prior to Kenzie watching my boy Rudy, I had lots of questions. Kenzie answered all of them (very quickly I might add), and really put my mind at ease. On the day when I brought him to her, they instantly connected! It was like old friends getting back together. She was very kind, welcoming, and loving to him and it was easily seen that she has a heart for animals. At that moment any reservations I had, disappeared! I felt completely comfortable knowing that he was in great and caring hands. It was a great experience and all I know is that if I ever need someone to watch Rudy again; Kenzie is the (only) one!”
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am flexible with my routine so I can meet the varying needs of the doggies that stay with us. We can discuss more in depth when you inquire to book. I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.
About: I have had experience with puppies to seniors, all sizes, breeds and special needs. I know your pet is your baby and I care for them as if they were my own and how I’d want my baby cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from home, off all weekends and holidays. My home is pet friendly and I have a large yard to walk and play in! I want them to feel at home when they’re with me. If they’re used to sleeping in a bed, they may. Car rides, favorite snacks and toys. Crates are welcome as well.
About: **Flexible with negotiating rate through the app for stays longer than 4 days** I'm a passionate pet sitter with a profound love for animals. As a seasoned pet owner with over 12 years of pet sitting experience, I take joy in the companionship that our furry friends bring. I understand the significance of having a reliable, caring, and responsible caregiver for your furry family members while you're away, and that's exactly what I strive to be! Working from home 100% of the time allows me to offer undivided attention to your pets, ensuring they receive all the affection and care they deserve. As a pet sitter, I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and understanding of each animal's unique needs and personalities. Whether it's a playful pup or any other adorable critter, I make it my mission to create a stress-free and joyful experience for them. Your pet's well-being and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have no pets of my own so your furry babies would be my primary focus. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your beloved furry babies to feel right at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or taking them for walks around your residence, I go above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. I live on an acre of land and although it is not fenced-in I do have a 25 and 50 foot lead that can accommodate to getting out to stretch their legs on occasions throughout the day and play. When staying in my home, your pets become a part of my family and I will treat them with the same safety measures I would take if they were my own. I offer a warm and welcoming space where they can relax, play, and enjoy a stress-free stay. My home is pet-friendly, with designated areas for rest and play, and I provide all the necessary amenities to make them feel at ease. If needed, I am able to make regular visits to your residence, ensuring your pets maintain their daily routines, familiarity with their surroundings, and feel secure in their own environment. During these visits, I engage in interactive playtime, provide nourishing meals, administer any required medications with precision, and handle any other specific needs your pets may have.

I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and livestock. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past 26 years, I have worked as a special education teacher, which has taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and the importance of creating a calm and supportive environment. I am looking for a fun and rewarding summer part-time opportunity doing something I truly love — spending time with animals. I currently volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines and have also volunteered with local animal shelters over the years. In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family. I’m a teacher currently looking for a fun summer part-time opportunity, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, I truly enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to help them feel calm, secure, and cared for in their own environment. I’m experienced caring for cats, dogs, and foster animals, including shy and senior pets. I’m reliable, patient, attentive to routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.
“Hila was very flexible with a schedule change I had to make due to work. She gave me good pics and updates of how my doggy was doing so I could be sure all was well during the chaos! Much appreciated!”
About: Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.” I currently am only working 3 days out of the week, so Friday through Monday I am mostly free to take care of any pets that need looked after in your absence. I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.
About: We’re proud parents to a lively crew: 3 dogs, 3 cats, a sweet tarantula, a curious bearded dragon, and a hamster—so we’re no strangers to different personalities, species, and care routines. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, quiet snuggles, medication, or a bit of extra patience, we’re happy to tailor the experience to meet their needs as we work from home we can provide 24/7 attention. My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship 24/7. We also have 2 adult children who live at home to supplement snuggles and playtime. This also allows for time to send you pictures and videos of your loved ones. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that's perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and safe outdoor fun in our pesticide-free yard. Additionally, we have a split level home if your pet needs some space from our pets. We treat every pet like family, and we'd love to welcome yours into our home or care for them in yours!
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I focus on providing not only safe and reliable care but also plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also believe in keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for a variety of pets and understand the importance of maintaining consistent routines, monitoring behavior, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and comfortable. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to provide dependable care, attention, and companionship for the pets I look after. I am organized, responsible, and committed to following each pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Currently, I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays anytime, but my schedule should open up even more soon as I am planning to leave my job. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Wednesday- Sunday. And depending on how far away or the type of care needed I can check in throughout the day. I have Monday and Tuesday’s off usually so I would be able to watch over pets during those days with all day availability. Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.

About: Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈⬛ This is my full time job and I love it! Most of my bookings are location based and I love meeting my neighbors- animal and human! Build community where you can! I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their happy little quirks(loves to give kisses, favorite places to sleep, play and poop, territorial over food, etc.) I prefer to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.

“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“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!”
“Alex and Alexis were wonderful! Cheddar is normally very shy and nervous around new people but he warmed right up to both of them and had a great week with them!! I am so thankful for Alex and Alexis both and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“Such a sweet woman ( & dog) ! Saved us when our last minute plans to have Riley watched while we were away fell through. So wonderful to meet yet another great connection in our dog family. Hoping to be able to contact Hanna again soon!”
“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
About: I’ve always had and loved dogs! I have a soft spot in my heart for doggies. I would keep my friends and family’s dogs when they would go out of town. These dogs have been all shapes and sizes! Golden retriever, Rottweiler, Pit mix, Pug, Yellow Lab, Jack Russell, and more! I also have volunteered at Young Williams Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs. I am a teacher so I have my summers off and will be readily available to care for your fur baby. I am currently raising a 5 month old Golden Retriever of my own! I am a teacher currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to play and love on dogs! I am available any day of the week for boarding as well as walks! My whole summer is revolving around taking care of my teenaged golden! We have been spending our days going to the pool, going on walks, training, playing fetch, and cuddling! I have a fenced in yard with a playful teenage golden who is ready to make friends. He is super friendly. I also have crates and a play pen inside for dogs to play in without having to free roam the house. I sometimes will take the dogs to our boat on the lake or my in-law’s pool if they enjoy water!
“Henry and Elizabeth were wonderful! Mack had such a great time staying with them and loved hanging out in the sun on their patio. They were very prompt in responses and able to help when another sitter backed out. Mack will definitely be staying with them again!”
“It was my first time leaving my baby girl while I went out of town for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and I was definitely nervous. But finding Kaylee was truly a blessing. She immediately put my mind at ease—sending pictures multiple times a day and keeping great communication throughout. Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy the tournament without worrying. Kaylee is amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for your fur baby like their own.”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“As soon as we dropped Ace with Kos we knew he was going to be fine, they both connected immediately! Kos is quick to respond which makes coordination a bliss. Drop off and pick up were super easy as well. Thank you Kos for taking care of our Ace!!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Over the past five years, I’ve trained two puppies for my family and regularly help care for the pets of friends and relatives. At home, I have two friendly dogs and two older children who are wonderful with animals. We live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks, with a nearby park for extra playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dogs and relaxing with them at home. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule with long breaks that allow me to give plenty of attention and care to the pets I watch. I truly look forward to meeting your furry family members and treating them like my own! I'm a teacher that has long breaks to be available for pet sitting during typical vacation times. We usually are up early for breakfast and morning playtime. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love other dogs. We enjoy playing out in the yard but also snuggling on the couch.
