“Our pet was treated like one of the family! I was sent photos daily and had absolutely no concerns about how my dog was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again!”
“Maddie took very good care of our dog Cooper. She was very attentive and made sure Cooper’s needs were met. She also sent us photos of Cooper playing with other dogs. We will use her again next time we need to board him.”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”

“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our cat Bob. Bob normally doesn’t warm up to people quickly, he’ll usually hide under the bed and not come out. Kat worked her magic and Bob was putty in her hands, purring and letting her give him belly rubs. I’d recommend her for you four legged kids care.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could. We often fostered dogs and cats taking care of them until they found their forever home. I have watched my friend’s and family’s pets for them often as an adult. I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time.
“Shannon visited my boy cat Smokie at my house a few times. I couldnt be more thankful! (not to mention one day was Valentines) xoxo. I was unexpectedly delayed on my return home and Shannon is an angel to have stopped by to make sure he was safe <3 Thank you, R.”
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”
“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”
About: I understand that cats thrive on routine, comfort, and a calm environment. I take the time to get to know each cat’s unique personality and preferences, whether they love attention and playtime or prefer their own space. I provide attentive care, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, and plenty of affection on their terms. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“I can't say enough good stuff about Cheyenne! You should know that I have never trusted many people with my animals, but Cheyenne earned my trust and kept it. Anyone who knows me knows what a huge compliment that is. After another sitter flaked out on us, she came to the rescue at the very last minute. She is always on time, communicates well, kind, caring, and went way beyond to make sure not just the animals were happy... but us too. We put extra on her and she willingly went even further. I hope she is still doing this when we go on our next trip! Again, she is great. Great customer service, very professional, and great with animals. :) Cheyenne, I'm sorry I didn't share the YouTube videos for the parrots sooner. If I had known it would make yall instant friends, I would have. Lol”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a long time, would love to spend time and also take care of yours and make sure they’re safe! Hi there!

My 2 year old LOVES playing with your doggies! We have no pets in our home now.
“When we returned from our recent getaway, both of our kitty cats were calm and relaxed. That tells me just how good Jay took care of them!! Jay is great and his love for animals clearly shows. I fully trust him and know that all will be well while we are away. Thank you Jay!”
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
“Wendy is such a gem! She was reliable, thoughtful, and very responsive. The kitty she cared for earns his name "Spooky" because he is easily spooked. Within a few days, however, he was showing up for attention and petting. We got pictures every day and are so pleased that we could be away without worries.”
“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”
“Katherine, Cared for our cat exceptionally well. She went above and beyond with keeping her fed and watered (our sassafras cat-who runs the house) is very picky). She updated us after every visit, I would recommend her and will absolutely rebook with Katherine!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart! Animals are innocent creatures who deserve nothing but special and loving care. I am willing to abide by any requests or special rules for pets, including medicine requirements, care schedules, and eating schedules.
“Ellen was fantastic. Olive, a senior cat, hides under the bed if she's afraid, and sometimes has taken a whole day to come out. With Ellen, she was out and comfortable within the hour. I so appreciate knowing she is happy when I'm gone - thank you Ellen”

About: Caring for animals has been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of experience as both a pet owner and sitter. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support. What sets me apart is the home and environment I provide— Our little farm offers space to explore, a secure fenced yard for safe play, and the love of my entire family. With three children who adore animals, every pet gets an abundance of cuddles, companionship, and supervision. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 80% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration.

“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”

About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.
“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
“Our rescue was transporting a dog for adoption and had a gap between drivers. Raleigh was flexible and worked with us quickly to take care of Canela until the next transport leg was available a few hours later. She was great to us in making arrangements and very sweet to Canela. We appreciate her so much!”
“Danita gave us peace of mind to enjoy ourselves at an event where dogs were not allowed, by sending updates of our Jozey with pictures. Great communication and a very nice person! We would hire her again for sure. Thank you Danita!”

About: I've been dogsitting since I could drive at 16.

I will have a part-time internship near Maryville this summer, as well as an online summer class. I will have plenty of time to care for your pets around these activities! I can work half-shifts at my internship (~4 hours) and all I need for my class is Wi-Fi access and somewhere to sit. I am familiar with giving dogs medications, even the reluctant dogs. I am also well-versed in dog body language and behavior, and am comfortable dealing with pets who are fearful. I am not afraid of large dogs! I love the big dogs, and am comfortable with breeds up to and including Great Danes, Mastiffs, Wolfhounds, Newfies, etc. I am used to dog training as well, and am more than willing to maintain any training rules you may have for your dog. My personal dog is a certified therapy dog (she will not be accompanying while dogsitting). I love training, but have no certifications, just dog training kennel experience.

In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each pet’s regular feeding, potty, and sleep schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and ensure their pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

“Jay was absolutely amazing with my pup, always sent me detailed feedback and never missed a picture, which truly helps when you are away from your pup. Jay is the type of person that goes the extra mile to make sure you know your pup is in good hands. I would use Jay moving forward without a question!!”
About: We have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. We do have experience in medication administration for animals. We are excited to serve you and your fur-family! My wife and I work full-time jobs but are available before and after work as well as during the lunch hour to ensure your dogs and/or cats are fed and taken care of! During the summer, Cody is available all day because of being an educator and having a summer break. If boarding with us, we have a fenced-in yard where our three dogs run around and play! If your dog is a digger or runner, we also have a run that your dog can be hooked up to remain in the yard while also providing maximum playtime. For drop-in visits, we will ensure that any happy accidents are cleaned up, your dog remains on the food plan that you have, and will give them time outside to use the bathroom.
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”

“Maddie took very good care of our dog Cooper. She was very attentive and made sure Cooper’s needs were met. She also sent us photos of Cooper playing with other dogs. We will use her again next time we need to board him.”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Cody and Rachel took excellent care of our fur babies!! Rachel provided updates, which put our minds at ease. Knowing that our babies were playing and having a wonderful time meant so much. We would definitely recommend them!!”
“Sully had another great stay with Jessica, her kids, and his new best buddy Tucker! We have definitely found our ‘go to’ care provider for our Little Man when we need to be away. Thank you Jessica and Fam”
“Viviana was amazing!!!! She sent pic of my Hank playing with other dogs and even one by the Christmas tree which made feel that I made the right decsion not putting him in a kennel. I know he had a great time because when I went to pick him up he refussed to go home with me lol!!! It was nice knowing my Hank was safe and had a great time. Thanks so much Viviana you are a special person with a big heart for dogs :)”
“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”
“My Sophie was cared for excellently . I was kept updated on how her visit went daily . Not only will I book withelussa when the need arises , but I will recommend her to anyone needing boarding services ..”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
“Lyndsey was amazing with Teddy! We had a death in the family while out of town and she was easy and accommodating to work with. She even sent home some homemade dog treats.”
“Aric did a great job with our 3 yr old Rottweiler. Our dog has never stayed with anyone before and our first experience with a full blown kennel over a year ago was a call to come get your dog after he was there for less than 1 hour. He ended up coming on our trip with us. This time we managed to be away for roughly 5 days and the dog was happy at Arics, happy dog, = happy owners! Will definitely use again!”
“Michael and Lisa couldn’t have been nicer and were so great with Gretel. She had a great stay and I really appreciated how communicative they were. All in all, great experience!”
“Summer and her family were great for our two dogs. They sent tons of pictures, gave lots of love to them, and our dogs didn’t even want to leave their house at the end of our trip. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone!”
