Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cherokee
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cherokee
“Shawna, has done an excellent job with my two Shih Tzu poodles. She has had them longer than expected and accommodated me through a major surgery that had some hiccups. Her attention to detail with your dog is outstanding. She is an hour and a half for me and his well worth the drive for me to leave them there because I know they’re taking care of. She sends plenty of pictures so you’ll know how much fun your dog is actually really having with her.”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! I had a cross-country move during which everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. Krystal was compassionate and flexible, and the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether Max was safe and well cared for. He is a city cat, so he gained a new appreciation for chicken watching, and her kiddos kept him snuggled and loved. They are a good distance from my new home, but I will make the trip for Krystal to keep him when I go out of town. She and her family were a true blessing when I needed help caring for Max. I will always be grateful.”
“Shawna was amazing. She took such great care of our dog and was fantastic about sending pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Shannon was amazing with our pups! She sent pictures of them having the times of their throughout their time with her. She took care of them and loved them as if they were her own and made sure to note their exact schedule to make them as comfortable as possible. I don't think I'll leave my dogs with anyone other than Shannon ever again. We will be back!”
“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“My sweet girl loves coming here. She was so excited when we pulled up! She was ready to go inside and play! She did not act like that when I took her to a traditional boarding place. So grateful for Ryan and his family. They also stay in great contact so I never have to worry about what Annie is doing. Always my first choice!”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with anyone. Angie took the time to let us know how Molly was doing and sent pictures throughout the week. We will definitely call on Angela again.”
“Renee did a wonderful job. She kept me informed on how Leo was doing. She sent me pictures. She responded as soon as I text her. I could tell that he was being loved and that he was doing fine. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She was wonderful”
“Cassy was incredible. We came to the area for vacation and left our dog with her. She was so caring and flexible, as our dog is 16 years old. She kept great conversation and sent some great pictures. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her for anyone needing a compassionate and caring sitter.”
“Ann was a phenomenal pet sitter! Looked her up last minute and she was extremely accommodating and professional! She even provided help learning the system due to being new to Rover! She took care of our sweet Sadie and kept us informed and updated along the way! She gets 5 ⭐️ from us! Thanks again!”
“My fur babies recently had a great weekend stay with Shirley & Jeff. They sent me lots of updates and photos of them and when I picked them up, they both looked quite content.”
“Frances is amazing. Don’t hesitate to book with her for your sitting needs. From start to finish, the process has been seamless. We already have her booked for another upcoming trip and our boy also loves her and her family!”

I understand pets are like family members and should be cared for in the same manner.
“Makayla was FANTASTIC!! Our boys did GREAT!! My older dog had been struggling at the kennel level regardless of what we tried.

About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
About: When caring for cats, I pay close attention to their dietary needs, making sure each meal is served according to their specific preferences and any dietary restrictions. I am skilled at administering medications, including pills and liquid treatments, handling even the most finicky felines with gentleness and patience. Playtime is an essential part of my routine, using interactive toys and games to stimulate their minds and keep them active. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment by regularly scooping and refreshing litter boxes, ensuring a comfortable space for every cat in my care.
About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours of experience volunteering in the community, which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I love cats. Any and all cats (even the grumpy ones) are my friends and I’m excited to get to know them! Experience cat sitting for up to three cats at a time, and experienced with a variety of breeds (long hair combing!). Would love to get to know your fur baby and love them while you’re away!
“My cat has a very strong personality towards other people and Vanessa broke through his shell! She always sends daily updates with photos of my baby and I can relax while traveling knowing he’s in great hands with her while I’m gone!”
“I cannot recommend Anna enough to anyone needing a pet sitter! She’s friendly, professional, prompt, and exceeded our expectations. I can be over the top when it comes to updates on my Persian kitty, and she knew just the right times to check in with pics to set my mind at ease. It was such a breath of fresh air to come home to a clean house and happy baby girl. Anna kept our little timid scaredy cat over the 4th of July- I honestly didn’t expect to come home to our cat relaxing as if we never left. We came crashing through the door with our luggage and commotion and our cat was just sitting calmly like- “oh, you’re back 🙄” It was a nice change from arrangements we had made for her in the past where she seemed somewhat traumatized from our being away. I highly suggest Anna and her adorable family for your pet sitting needs and will be referring her to my friends and family as well.”
About: Worked for a vet in Boca Raton for 5 years. Started my own pet sitting job after that. My husband recently passed and could use the extra income. I am working part time but not making enough money. I will quit my part time job to take care of the pets fulltime. Thanks I won't be taking care of pets in my home. I have a older pug and 3 cats. I have a very small apartment also.
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
“Cy Cy, my cat, is a bit skittish and this was the first time we left her with a sitter. We had only been in Gatlinburg for a few hours when Frances sent a couple of pics of Cy Cy. She was on her back sleeping, just like she does at home, so she evidently felt safe. I really appreciate her care and anytime I need a sitter she will be my first call.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well.

I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly.

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I have several years of professional experience working hands on with dogs in boarding, daycare, enrichment, and training environments. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from young puppies learning appropriate manners to senior dogs who need a slower, more individualized approach. My experience includes dog training, enrichment activities, group play supervision, leash handling, feeding and medication routines, recognizing canine body language, and working with dogs who may be nervous, overstimulated, reactive, or simply need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable adapting care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to enjoy or respond to the same things. Most importantly, I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I currently have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and your pet’s comfort are always my priority. My professional experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language, stress signals, behavior changes, and each dog’s individual boundaries. I follow your pet’s established routine and care instructions closely and never force interactions they’re uncomfortable with. Whether your dog is outgoing, nervous, high energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were a bit nervous, but it worked out wonderfully! Megan took such great care of Theo, took him for a walk, and even stopped by the dog park so he could play. We loved that she sent pictures along the way—it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy. She even offered to come meet him the day before to get familiar with his routine and our location, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re staying at Anchor Down RV Park, she would be the perfect sitter to trust with your baby! We hope to use her next year!”

Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that’s been a natural part of my life since childhood. ⭐ Special Skills • Medication trained and comfortable administering oral and topical treatments • Experienced with bathing, feeding, and maintaining consistent care routines • Skilled in cleaning, sanitation, and keeping pet areas safe and tidy • Strong leash‑handling experience with dogs of all sizes • Familiar with animal behavior, body language, and stress signals • Comfortable caring for high‑energy, large‑breed, and small‑breed pets • Kennel‑experienced with structured routines and caring for multiple animals at once I’m an online full‑time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. Because I study remotely, I’m able to build my day around pet care — feeding, walks, drop‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable. Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free. Even though pets won’t be staying here, the same level of structure, cleanliness, and attention carries over into the care I provide for your pets in their own home. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow your routines closely to keep everything familiar and comfortable. I handle feeding, litter or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any cleaning needed to keep their space tidy. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior. I also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.
“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.”

About: I ensure the safety and well-being of animals while their owners are away. Responsibilities include feeding , walking , administering medications and companionship, reliable care. I pet sit to share my love for animals. It fits my daily routine by blending morning/evening walks with my own exercise and part-time work . Your fur-baby gets non-stop tail-wags, cozy couch snuggles, playful backyard romps, and scheduled snacks. I’ll send plenty of of cute photos to keep you smiling.
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Wendy is amazing! She knew it was my first time using Rover and my first time needing a sitter for my cat, she made sure I had updates with photos 1-2 times per day! I felt so safe to leave my cat with her and her family. They all treated him like their very own. I would definitely book with Wendy again, I am so beyond happy with my experience!😊😊”

“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful! She took our dog Leo on very short notice and took amazing care of him. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Leo loved her, when we went to get him he kept walking back to her wanting her to pet him. I would recommend Jeanie to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! Though we do not have a fenced in yard, they go for daily walks and have fun enrichment activities inside. I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday. I have a pretty set routine with my dogs, as I wake up early (6am) to let them both out, and again around 9. I am very attentive with my dogs, as I would be with yours! I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it! I imagine how my dogs would feel if my dogs were going to a new place, and want to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible, as new environments can be scary.
