“I am very appreciative of Emmet. He went above and beyond and took care of Bella. We were updated with Bella pictures while we were in trip. Definitely a great experience. I would recommend Emmet to all needing a wonderful place to board their dog…”
“Very wonderful sitter. Was very detailed and consistent in her updates. Lots of pictures. Lives active so kept my dog Briggs happy and exercised! Was very transparent and gave Briggs earned treats but also made sure to ask prior, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“We absolutely loved Carrie and all her pups. Our baby, Tiffany had a blast. She was always doing something. Carrie made her homemade healthy treats. Fed her well. Loved her and treated as if she was her own. We will definitely be using Carrie again and Tiffany can’t wait!”
“My Labradoodle Bubbie was booked with Michelle over Memorial Day holiday. I was worried how Bubbie would act at first because he has some anxiety issues and wary of new people. Michelle let him get used to her at his own pace and within a few days he was lovingly laying in her lap and socializing with the other dogs. Bubbie came home happy and healthy just like his old self, which is the biggest compliment. I would definitely use Michelle again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Erika & Erik were great! Super friendly, they took care of our pups well cause they were tired when they got home! It was nice to be able to have the day worry/ stress free and know they were in great hands. We will not hesitate to use them again!”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Alexa welcomed our two corgis into her home while we were out of town, this was the first time they have stayed with someone other than family. Her communication was great, and her and her husband certainly spoiled our dogs and loved on them just as if they were home with us. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!”
“Matt and Candice give Coco so much care and attention, she seems hesitant to leave when I pick her up. I'm so pleased to have them keep her on my trips.”
“Season is great! It was my first time using the Rover app and everything was wonderful! She took care of my 6 month old Maltipoo and the minute my puppy saw her, I knew he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend, Season!”
“Amber & Lavar were perfect. Great communication, very accommodating of my schedule craziness and my dog’s issues (she had some meds to take during her stay). They are my first call next time I need someone to board my dog.”
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”
“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“This was our puppies first time staying overnight withMelissa. She was there three nights. Everything went well. Melissa was great as usual and sent us pictures and video of Maya while we were away. So grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Serenity and she was amazing with her dog Bambi. She contacted us often with pictures and updates on Bambi‘s day. We will definitely rebook with Serenity”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
“Jackie did an amazing job of taking care of my dog. She kept me informed and sending plenty of picture updates which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“We were hesitant to use Rover for our mini-trip but Jamie was wonderful. We were able to schedule a meet and greet first. She had a few dogs over when we came to drop him off and Cash got to meet all of them and had a blast with them. He was pooped by the time he came home. She sent us a few updates and we loved getting them while on our trip to keep our mind at ease. We will definitely be using Jamie again. Thanks again!”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”

“Kay was fantastic with my skittish kitty. During our meet and greet, she took the time to get to know both of us! He surprisingly met her at the door and loved every second of her visit. I hope to have Kay take care of my George again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for stepping in on short notice! I felt confident after talking with you that everything was going to be alright since we were out of state with very little time to vet our dog sitter! Thank you!”
“I’m really hoping my other review went through for Abby as well, because this is the second time I used her. I rebooked because she was just so great and went absolutely above and beyond! My cat loves her!! He normally takes a minute to warm up, yet with her, he was curled up on her lap within 2 days! She is so good! Will definitely be using her every time I need someone. Thankful that I found her and chose her for the original stay! Thanks Abby!!”
“Lily provided excellent care to my cats while we were out of town. Not only did she communicate well, but she also troubleshooted our automatic litter box when it started acting up. She went above and beyond, and I’m so thankful to know that my cats were well taken care of.”
“Alicia was wonderful in dropping in on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She has good communication and made sure that both cats were doing well in our absence, even taking the time to play with our attention seeking cat. Would recommend!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs. She had great communication, always provided pictures and updates, and took extra special care. We would highly recommend her as she goes above and beyond to care for your animals as if they are her own.”
“I cannot recommend Brittany enough! I have a cat with heart disease that requires a fairly strict medication routine, and I’m very hesitant about leaving him in the care of anyone else. I’m recently moved here from Missouri, and had to travel back this weekend. Brittany took such good care of my cat and it helped me relax and enjoy my time at home. I will definitely be using her again any time that I can in the future.”
“Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!
“Annalaura has been great with our girls yet again! She sends sweet pictures and they really seem to be comfy with her. She also went above and beyond and watered our plants and took out the trash!”
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
About: I know leaving your fur babies can be scary for both you and for them, believe me..I've been there. I'll do everything possible to make your time away as painless as possible for your family and to help keep your mind at ease by keeping in touch and keeping you updated as much as you like. A little about me: Well, I am an animal lover for sure. I have one quirky poodle named "Fro". He's my sidekick. I am patient and loving and Fro is pretty friendly. I have had either a dog or cat, or both, my entire life and since old enough have provided the primary care for our animals. I like people and children, of course, but I am partial to animals and fiercely protective of them. If you don't like animals, I'm actually a little leery about you! ❤️ I am very flexible and open to your requests and routines. I am home full-time, so again I'm very flexible to the needs of your pets! ***I have recently changed my profile not to host at my home at this time and only offer house sitting and drop-ins, but am still amenable to working out something to meet your needs!*** Other than traveling a few times a year or overlapping sitting jobs, I am generally always available for both daily drop ins and housesitting. I am, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. Your dog’s comfort, their safety and needs, as well as your level of comfort, with me coming into and/or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Whether it be drop ins or over nights, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen. I hope my reviews on my stays on this site provide with some comfort as well as the knowledge that I have several clients that travel often and have me stay in their home multiple times each year and would be more than happy to provide a reference on my behalf. I no longer work full-time so I am available around the clock for pet care needs. Such availability allows me to meet the needs of most requests, even those that may not be a conventional schedule or situation. As stated, I no longer offer services inside my home for boarding or doggy day care. Please still feel free to reach out if you would to discuss potential other options.
About: I have been practicing the fine art of cat whispering since 2018. Currently, I live with two adorable kitties. My love for felines borders on magical—I speak fluent "meow," chat with every single neighborhood cat I meet on the street, and keep a secret emergency stash of dream-treats in my car just in case a furry friend appears! ** Cats are creatures of habit and magic. I match your exact daily routine down to the minute so your cat feels like nothing changed. ** I specialize in extended stays! I provide consistent, loving companionship so your kitty never feels lonely while you explore the world. ** If your cat needs daily medications or supplements, I administer them with zero stress and maximum patience. From energetic kitten zoomies to senior cats who just want to nap in a sunbeam, I read feline body language instantly and always respect their boundaries.Every visit includes meticulously scooped litter boxes, fresh food/water potions, and a magical photoshoot of your kitty sent directly to your phone. 🔮 Whether you need me for a quick daily drop in, a weekend or a month, your familiar is safe in my hands!

“Riley was great! She responded very quickly, and our cat Thomas loved her immediately. This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Would book again!”
About: Hello! I’m Beckah, and I’m so excited to meet you and your best friend(s)! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for them through every stage, with a particularly soft spot for senior dogs and the extra patience, compassion, and care they deserve. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe and at ease while they’re in my care. I’m happy to tailor their care to whatever makes them happiest; whether that’s checking in throughout the day, spending time playing and giving plenty of pets, or taking long walks (leisurely or otherwise!) where we can stop to smell every flower along the way. “Going out for sniffs” is what we called it with my best friend and soul dog, Rylee, who was by my side for 17 years. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the kindness and love they deserve. Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family member. I promise to care for them like they’re my own. I have plenty of flexibility and am happy to work around yours and your pets schedule! For walks, I prefer to get an earlier start so as to protect them and their paws from the heat, but with temperatures finally starting to come down, we can hopefully start to do mid-day walks again soon! I believe every pet deserves to be cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. When caring for your pet I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of keeping things clean and tidy, following your instructions, and making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as much as possible. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands.

I am free most days at anytime. Just name your date and time and I’ll be there. I have graduated high school. I’m very motivated I Offer dog walking and really any other pet care. I can watch your animals and take care of them. I will feed, water,play and walk. I would be willing to stay in the clients home. My only limit is I can’t have other pets at my home because I do have other animals.
About: I adopted my first dog in 2015 and he’s been with me ever since! I also recently adopted a rescue Beagle who came from a testing lab in east tennessee! I’ve been a dog groomer for a little over year so I have experience with all types of breeds and ages! I currently work full time as a dog groomer with Thursday and Friday off so I’m fully available all day on those 2 days! I’m also available everything afternoon after work! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled! As a full-time dog groomer, I’m experienced reading dog body language and making pets feel comfortable.

“I travelled from Colorado to Tennessee with my dog, Zephyr. Carrie took care of Zephyr while I attended Adult Drum Camp. At first, I was very nervous about leaving “my girl” with a “stranger.” Carrie was absolutely WONDERFUL, understanding and kind. She sent a bunch of photos the first couple days until I was feeling better. Zephyr adored her. Wagging her nubbins of a tail when I dropped her off each day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
“Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.”

About: I grew up with a variety of animals and have raised several dogs from puppies. I’ve adopted difficult dogs that were set to be put down and worked with them to become amazing family members. Big dogs are my specialty. I work from home most of the week so I can make it out to walk your pups on my breaks or morning and evening. I can also pet sit in your home in the evenings and on weekends. My wife and I work as a team. She is a pet groomer and loves animals of all kinds. Walks, playing, feeding, giving them all them loves they could ask for. Need a bath or nail trim? We can also discuss things like that.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have three dogs of my own, a dachshund and two golden retrievers. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.

About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.
About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
“Michelle and her daughter were awesome! Our Scout came home thoroughly exhausted in a GOOD way. He’s an almost 60lb Choc Lab 9 mo old puppy and had soooo much fun playing with the pups at Michelle’s House. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 4 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 3 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12. They are only crated if I go out for an extended period of time. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs get on very well with other dogs, and are accustomed to other dogs coming into the house. Over the last couple of years I have hosted numerous dogs of different breeds, ages and sizes. I have numerous repeat customers. I also have other apps that I use for sitting, and do privately. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care of my older "puppy" Grover who spent the day being cared for. I always know that he's in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook when needed.”
“We are new to the area and I'm glad we found Jackie. She was a great help with our dogs and I could tell they had a great time with Jackie and family. Jackie was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures during stay. I particularly liked that Jackie has a fenced in yard where the dogs can roam free outside. I'd definitely recommend Jackie and plan to book again in the future.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and giving cats both oral medications and injections (insulin). I work a hybrid schedule so my days are super flexible! I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.
“Bruno had his rabies booster, and he needed to be taking care and rest. Kaitlyn was so kind and let him sleep on her bed! I got pictures (good quality photos) and she answer my questions when I texted her.”
“We are moving and needed a last minute sitter for our English Bulldog puppy. Ashley was able to help us last minute, kept us updated with pictures and how Chunk was doing. Chunk came back to us happy and healthy, we definitely recommend Ashley!”

About: I looked after and cared for my family’s two dogs as a teen and am 1 year into being a work from home dog dad for our English Golden, Archie. I can walk, feed, play and otherwise entertain your pets as I do my own. I work from home doing an 8am-4pm office job fully remote. I have many breaks throughout the day as the job is on call/as needed. I use this spare time to enrich our puppies life with exercise, playtime, and training. Weekends are usually free unless I am out of town. I have a fenced in back yard for easy outside time and a small neighborhood for walks. I have a 1 year old English Golden Retriever named Archie who loves to play and make new friends. I can kennel dogs at night if needed. Archie’s night time routine involves his crate which he prefers to go to at night for sleeping. On an average day we alternate between lounging by the hearth, playing frisbee/ball outside to get laps in, naps, and of course walks around lunch time and shortly after work. I can come to your house for check ins or walks and if needed can pick up/drop off your pet for boarding at my place.
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
About: I have always been so in love with animals! Growing up we had two Himalayan cats and 6 chihuahuas. Needless to say, we had a full house! I treat all the animals that I care for as one of my very own. I absolutely love all animals!! I am the oldest of my siblings and I have always been a nurturer. Being a nurturer really comes easy to me and helps with this as I appreciate the importance of the well being of your lovely pet. I have done dog sitting for many dogs that have been on a special diet and very sick. I have an open schedule right now and love to take your pets out for some fun! Dog owners have always been very pleased with my skills and such special care for dogs. I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I am very flexible and would love to discuss some arrangements for dog sitting for your fur babies! I live in a house with lots of room for play! It is a very safe neighborhood with lots of areas to go on a nice walk!
About: I treat every pet like family whether it's training a playful puppy or giving extra care to a senior pet. I'm experienced, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. From medication to playtime, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and spend most days at home which means your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and companionship. I love having animals around and build my day around their needs, whether that’s walks, feeding, or just being a calm presence. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do it’s part of my everyday life. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, and a calm environment tailored to their needs. I follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual schedule including feeding, walks, and medications.I will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands, no matter where they are.
About: I currently work full time but from the comfort of my own home. I always stress about finding a reliable sitter when I am away and thought why not help relieve that stress for other pet parents. I worked at a boarding facility as an operational manager for 2 years and have experience with all types of pups, including providing medications, special diets, etc. I also have two pups of my own and one has liver complications and the other one has entered old age, so fully understand the importance of care. They are my world. I value creating an environment that suites all fur babies. If yours needs a space of their own, I can make that happen in my home. I have tons of space and am happy to make sure your fur babies are comfortable. I have two dedicated adult bedrooms I use for boarding. Pets well have a warm bed and area that is all theirs. Of course they well have full access to the entire house but I all pups need their own space. I have a fenced yard with a tall privacy fence so potty breaks are secure and will be fully supervised. I want all pups comfortable. I can offer walks throughout the day for additional charge. My time is very flexible. I create my own schedule at my job so I can make anything happen with proper notice. I’m open to help whenever and wherever. I have two friendly pups who love other dogs. I have been trained in dog behavior and feel confident to know when a dog needs a break, uncomfortable, etc.. I’m quick to react and pay attention at all times.
“Kolten did a great job communicating, updating me and sending pictures while I was out of town and my husband was at work! We would definitely use him again. I can tell he loves animals!”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!
“We thank Alivia for taking loving care of our Adelmo. She is a reliable, scrupulous and competent person. We will ask for her help again and will recommend her to our friends.”
“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”
About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
“Had a last-minute family emergency come up Jenna was very responsive and easy to talk to. I wasn’t able to meet her first but Rex was very well taken care of. She was very thoughtful about his food and water 100 out of 10 rating! She had great updates throughout the walk and throughout the day!”
About: What sets me apart is that, for me, it really is all about the animals. I don’t just stop by, check the boxes, and leave; I pay attention to what your pet actually needs. Whether that’s a longer walk, extra playtime, belly rubs, or simply some companionship, I want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve even stayed longer or taken dogs on extra walks simply because they needed the exercise and attention. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate most visit times and routine. Pet care also fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with a variety of animals and have raised several dogs from puppies. I’ve adopted difficult dogs that were set to be put down and worked with them to become amazing family members. Big dogs are my specialty. I work from home most of the week so I can make it out to walk your pups on my breaks or morning and evening. I can also pet sit in your home in the evenings and on weekends. My wife and I work as a team. She is a pet groomer and loves animals of all kinds. Walks, playing, feeding, giving them all them loves they could ask for. Need a bath or nail trim? We can also discuss things like that.
“Lindsey is the best! She truly cares about your pet as if it was her own! I will keep rebooking Lindsey every week. She takes the time to play ball with my dog, which happens to be my dog's favorite thing!”
About: Hello! I’m Beckah, and I’m so excited to meet you and your best friend(s)! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for them through every stage, with a particularly soft spot for senior dogs and the extra patience, compassion, and care they deserve. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe and at ease while they’re in my care. I’m happy to tailor their care to whatever makes them happiest; whether that’s checking in throughout the day, spending time playing and giving plenty of pets, or taking long walks (leisurely or otherwise!) where we can stop to smell every flower along the way. “Going out for sniffs” is what we called it with my best friend and soul dog, Rylee, who was by my side for 17 years. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the kindness and love they deserve. Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family member. I promise to care for them like they’re my own. I have plenty of flexibility and am happy to work around yours and your pets schedule! For walks, I prefer to get an earlier start so as to protect them and their paws from the heat, but with temperatures finally starting to come down, we can hopefully start to do mid-day walks again soon! I believe every pet deserves to be cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. When caring for your pet I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of keeping things clean and tidy, following your instructions, and making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as much as possible. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I adopted my first dog in 2015 and he’s been with me ever since! I also recently adopted a rescue Beagle who came from a testing lab in east tennessee! I’ve been a dog groomer for a little over year so I have experience with all types of breeds and ages! I currently work full time as a dog groomer with Thursday and Friday off so I’m fully available all day on those 2 days! I’m also available everything afternoon after work! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled! As a full-time dog groomer, I’m experienced reading dog body language and making pets feel comfortable. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and send lots of photo updates so you know they’re having a great time!

“I am very appreciative of Emmet. He went above and beyond and took care of Bella. We were updated with Bella pictures while we were in trip. Definitely a great experience. I would recommend Emmet to all needing a wonderful place to board their dog…”
“We absolutely loved Carrie and all her pups. Our baby, Tiffany had a blast. She was always doing something. Carrie made her homemade healthy treats. Fed her well. Loved her and treated as if she was her own. We will definitely be using Carrie again and Tiffany can’t wait!”
“My Labradoodle Bubbie was booked with Michelle over Memorial Day holiday. I was worried how Bubbie would act at first because he has some anxiety issues and wary of new people. Michelle let him get used to her at his own pace and within a few days he was lovingly laying in her lap and socializing with the other dogs. Bubbie came home happy and healthy just like his old self, which is the biggest compliment. I would definitely use Michelle again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Erika & Erik were great! Super friendly, they took care of our pups well cause they were tired when they got home! It was nice to be able to have the day worry/ stress free and know they were in great hands. We will not hesitate to use them again!”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Alexa welcomed our two corgis into her home while we were out of town, this was the first time they have stayed with someone other than family. Her communication was great, and her and her husband certainly spoiled our dogs and loved on them just as if they were home with us. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!”
“Tifaney was available at the last minute when our other options fell through. She was communicative, sent lots of pictures and did a great job caring for our girl!”
“Matt and Candice give Coco so much care and attention, she seems hesitant to leave when I pick her up. I'm so pleased to have them keep her on my trips.”
“Austie was the best host to our dog Lady! She was extremely communicative, kind, and timely. She gave constant updates and photos to go along with the updates. She was transparent about other dogs staying and was very detailed about their routine! We felt so much peace of mind knowing our hyper-girl was in good hands!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“This was our first time using Serenity and she was amazing with her dog Bambi. She contacted us often with pictures and updates on Bambi‘s day. We will definitely rebook with Serenity”

“We were hesitant to use Rover for our mini-trip but Jamie was wonderful. We were able to schedule a meet and greet first. She had a few dogs over when we came to drop him off and Cash got to meet all of them and had a blast with them. He was pooped by the time he came home. She sent us a few updates and we loved getting them while on our trip to keep our mind at ease. We will definitely be using Jamie again. Thanks again!”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
