“My dog, Buchoy, had fun at Ms. Bethany's care for 3 nights! He met new friends, went for a car ride, and went for a long walk! Everytime I leave him at Ms. Bethany's, I feel so appeased because I know that he is very safe and that he will enjoy the stay. I highly recommend her!”
“Mariah did an up front meet & greet to be certain our dog would be comfortable with her and her dogs. She sent us daily pics and updates, and treated our dog like one of her own.”
“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”
“Christina took great care of our dogs! She gave us updates and photos during their stay! Our dogs were very much at ease with Christina. She was very loving and attentive to them which we appreciate. We will definitely be seeing if Christina is available for future dates to watch our dogs. We highly recommend.”
“I know when my dogs stay with Amanda they will be cared for like family. She takes Dexter on hikes to the waterfalls and and long walks. He loves running around the yard with Yukon and Denali and plays all day.He’s pooped out by the end of the day and sleeps well. Dexter whines as we get closer to their home because he’s excited to visit. Charlie my older dog enjoys relaxing in the yard and taking snoozes. I highly recommend for your fur babies.”
“I’m very blessed to have found Sharon. She’s a keeper!!! I recommend her without reservation. Your fur babies will be loved and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed in her care.”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”
“Couldn’t have ask for anybody better to take care of our pup I love the way she sends the pictures. Let me know how Piper was doing. The whole time took very good care of her. Recommend her for sure for anyone looking for a sitter piper absolutely love the whole family 😁”
“You will find yourself very fortunate if you are able to book Drew for pet sitting. Her experience and knowledge of pet behavior really helped set my mind at ease. I just moved to the area from Colorado and I have a senior dog that has been my companion and has gone everywhere with me for the last 10 years. She is an indoor dog used to be pampered. This is the first time I was unable to take her on a road trip with me. You can imagine my stress, apprehension and uncertainty to leave her with someone I had just met. During my meet and greet session with Drew I had a new sense of reassurance. She listened to me validated me and followed all my instructions. She communicated with me several times a day including photos & videos. Drew was flexible with me during my uncertain schedule. My dog was taken care of very well. Drew was able to adjust to any issues that came up quickly and appropriately. She was also competent & confident administering medication’s as needed for my dog. I would highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Cindy was willing to take our pups in on very short notice. She did an excellent job. I received many pictures and updates while they were with Cindy and they always looked happy and loved. Will definitely use again!”
About: As a kitten foster and multi-pet household caregiver, I’m used to caring for animals with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. Whether it’s playful kittens, shy cats, or dogs that need structure and attention, I adjust my care to what each pet needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to behavior and health. I take the time to really understand each animal and respond to what they need—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, routine, or a quieter approach. I take pride in being dependable and communicative. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I offer: • Drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays • Care for multiple pets at once • Medication administration • Extra patience for shy or young animals • Close attention to routines and behavior I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely. As long as I have my laptop, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can care for your pet in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. If they prefer staying in their own space, I’m happy to bring my work with me and keep their routine consistent. This flexibility means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have companionship, supervision, and a calm presence—whether that’s relaxing on my lap while I work or resting nearby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, calm environment with close supervision. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard that backs up to a farm and a quiet cul-de-sac street, giving plenty of space to explore safely. While my yard isn’t fenced, I take extra precautions to ensure pets remain secure at all times. I have a small Morkie who enjoys gentle play, and kittens in my care are always excited to meet new friends. Interacting with other animals not only enriches their social experience but also helps kittens become more confident and adoptable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely, provide attentive supervision, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and confident in their familiar surroundings.
“Shelley did a great job taking care of my dog. My dog has a lot of anxiety in new places and with new people and Shelley did an incredible job reading body language and making my dog feel more comfortable than I have ever seen her in a new place. I would definitely trust Shelley to care for my dog again.”
“I could not have asked for a better caregiver than Melissa when it comes to my Belgium Malinois. Melissa is a blessing in disguise! She has so much experience with animals that it makes it’s so easy to leave my fur baby with her without any concerns. Melissa is a very loving caregiver that addresses all the needs of my fur baby and I could not have asked for anything better. If you are looking for a dependable and responsible caregiver thing you should not have to look any further than Melissa. Thank you for everything Melissa.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals all of my life, including several dogs of my own. I have had puppies all the way up to my dog mack who is 16 and lives with my parents. With the help of my girlfriend who is on the track team at Tennessee Tech University your pet is sure to have a fun time and stay safe. I currently am a full time student and don’t have a job right now so I am home all day on the weekends, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The only days i have class are 12:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and show them the love they deserve. I have a big apartment and have a fenced yard for your pets to run around in and play and also an unfenced yard for walks and runs. I also live close to a dog park to let your dog socialize if that is desired.
About: I’ve spent all of my life with a passion for animals and grew up taking care of pigs for 4-H and FFA as well as riding and caring for about 16+ horses since I was 10 years old. I took veterinary college accredited classes in high school and have owned and cared for 3 dogs over the years. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I can take care of them in your home if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a baby on the way in September. I’m am always at home unless I’m out grocery shopping or out at dinner with my fiancé. So I have plenty of time to care and love on your fur baby and make them feel right at home! I have no pets in the home currently and I would only be able to take your dog on walks and around the property to use the restroom as we have no fenced in yard currently. They will be inside most of their stay. When pet sitting at your place I can most of anything that is needed. I do not have a crate available at my house currently so if you would like your baby in a crate or kennel, you would need to supply that as well.
“It was love at first sight for Lex when I took him to meet Shelly and her Pups. the dogs bonded almost immediately. I received so many pictures and videos of Lex while he was staying with her that it felt like i was there with him. fast forward 4 days as I picked him up, i could tell he was sad to leave his new friends but was thoroughly exhausted and has been trying to rest up for the past 24 hours. needless to say, next time we need a sitter we'll be using Shelly again as she spoiled him more than we do at home. long walks, frequent trips to the dog park, sight seeing....the works.”
“Went way past my expectations as a new customer! She's amazing sent photos of my baby girl playing etc! True pleasure to be working with! Rover scored a great sitter!!! Hands down!”
About: I have been a dog groomer for over 4 years and take care of dogs of every kind, every single day, along with having 5 dogs of my own. I have also owned cats my entire childhood and into my adult years. I take care of my pets and others pets all day, every day, so it is just part of my every day life that will never be forgotten. I am well versed on being able to read dog’s body language and emotions, making it so I am able to tailor to every dogs needs individually.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.

“This was my first time trying Rover and I couldn’t be happier! Bethany took really great care of Luna, and provided daily pictures and feedback and even offering training throughout her stay. She was prepared, professional and flexible with my schedule. A additional perk is Bethanys 14 year old daughter (also a dog lover and certified trainer) helps with the dogs and she and Luna had an instant bond. I highly recommend Bethany to anyone searching for a reliable and loving pet sitter ?”
“Christina did an amazing job watching Newman for us while we went to play golf. I would not hesitate to call her again. Newman was able to spend the day resting comfortably in her lovely home instead of being left alone at home. She took great care of our boy!”
“Drew was a great dog sitter. I contacted her kind of last minute and she was able to accommodate my pup with no issues. She communicated well and sent pictures and videos of my boy. Vernon seemed to really enjoy his time with her and her dogs. I would definitely recommend Drew to others.”
“Highly recommend Mariah!! We needed extremely last minute daycare for our 2 pups and Mariah was a life saver! Very communicative, friendly & professional. Sent lots of photo updates & our little ones seemed to have a grand old time with her! Would definitely book again”
About: I have over 20 years of pet care experience by providing care in my own home, and in clients homes for medium and large dogs as well as cats. I also have 4 years of fostering experience with rescue dogs, including pregnant moms and birthing puppies. With all this experience I have provided medications, given laser therapies (with clients equipment), bottle and syringe fed young pups. I have walked dogs on leash and on slip leads. My mission is to make cats and dogs in my care feel safe, comfortable and loved while their pawrents are gone. We are a couple based sitting service, which allows for your pet to have several outdoor potty and play sessions, and plenty of snuggle time indoors as well. I am open to providing care for 4 dogs in my home in addition to my pack, and am able to take multiple cats (they have their own room in my home so that they are not stressed by the dogs and vice versa). In my home dogs would have access to outside time as needed for the majority of the day. I will follow all expectations for your dog in your home. In our home dogs are allowed on the furniture as we allow our own on the furniture. I believe in positive reinforcement by providing love, treats and redirection. I will not and am not comfortable using shock collars, prong collars or choke collars.
“Chloe watched my pup for 4 days, everyday i got updates, pictures/videos. She even offered to clip her nails and dressed her up in a cute sweater. I felt comfortable leaving her in the environment and didn’t feel like she was not taken care of or ignored. I will definitely use her again next time we go on a trip. If you’re looking for someone to spend time with your pup and make them feel at home Chloe is your girl!!!”
About: I’ve always taken care of animals, growing up with cats and dogs in our house was such a blessing and now I want to share my love for all pets with others! I am lucky enough to work full time from home which leaves me with plenty of extra time to take care of your four legged baby. Walks, park play time, and even light training would be part of the normal routine when they stay will me! I have a fenced in dog park and small walking trail at my apartment complex as well as access to several public parks and local waking trails nearby. My place is always clean and safe for even the most nosey of pets!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly love them both. 🐶🐱 I treat every pet like family and I’m the type of sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with them — not just “checking in.” I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to routines, and I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra love and reassurance. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I work remotely and I’m home often throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention. I’m able to be flexible during the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while sticking closely to their normal routine.

“Shelly is very caring, flexible to our schedule. Lola loved it at Shelly’s place- she was happy each morning when we dropped her off .. fantastic I highly recommend Shelly’s pet care!”
“Regina is wonderful watching our Schatzi. When Schatzi arrived she was excited to be there. She was a little bit shy because she heard another dog, but I know she settled in quickly. When we picked her up, she was happy but was tired out from all her excitement of the day and needed a nap :)”
About: As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. So I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust with your pets! From dogs and cats to birds and small critters, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets, each with its own special requirements and quirks. I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife rehabilitation center, working with animals such as reptiles, song birds, raptors, and small mammals! Being able to learn and deliver medical aid and life saving care to hundreds of babies. Your pet will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and personalized attention they deserve by creating a safe and comfortable environment so they can thrive while you're away. Whether it be short term or long. I am currently a studying student and an entrepreneur looking for extra work to finish out the year as well as add to my savings. I have a massive backyard away from any main roads, I can easily crate your dog if need be. Rest assured, your pets safety is top priority! Communication is key, Ill always keep you updated on your dog's experiences through regular photo and video updates. I want you to feel involved in your pets adventures just as much as they are 🐶 Please keep in mind tipping is fantastic, though also, absolutely, NEVER a requirement. But just for reference, Rover takes 20% of all cost from bookings not including taxes, Ex. If youre paying your sitter $100 for a full time housesit, your sitter gets $80. Tips go 100% to your sitter no matter who you choose 🐾
