“Denita always does a great job. She watched our dog Barnabas and he was worn out from playing with her other dog. He had a blast. She does a great job at making you feel comfortable leaving your dog with her. She keeps you updated and sends cute pictures. Her and her husband and very friendly. We will definitely keep booking her for our trips in the future.”
“Sharon took great care of our cat! She stayed in touch with us throughout our vacation and sent pictures each day. We could tell our cat was enjoying her vacation, as well. Thank you for everything, Sharon!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place to board our dog! DeRee and her husband took great care of Apollo and sent us updates daily. On top of all that they took him in on very short notice, so we’re extremely grateful for that as well. Will use again!”
“Kallie was very sweet and used good judgement when exposing my old girl to her pups. Pippa was very content and happy at pickup. I would recommend Kallie to watch your pup 🐶”
“This was a second time Lindsay watched our pup Flash. Lindsey is amazing! She sends pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day and even makes special peanut butter doggy treats for the dogs. Flash got Christmas cookies to go yesterday and he loves them! How cool is that?? Thank you Lindsey for taking such a great care of Flash! We will definitely be booking with Lindsey in the future :)”
“Tatum was great! If we need someone to watch Leroy again in this area, we will certainly take him to Tatum again. We recommend her highly: great communication, flexibile, and our fur baby was safe and happy there.”
“After seeing all of the positive reviews about Crystal, I felt so at ease leaving my fur babies with her. She boarded my cat and dog for an extended weekend while my husband and I were away. I know they were in good hands.”
“WE had them care for our 2 dogs for 9 nights due to us traveling to Chicago for a medical procedure for my husband. We received text and pic updates that made us feel good about knowing that our dogs are in good care. Thank you for everything that you did to make our boys feel at ease and comfortable during their stay. Marty & Olga”
“My first time away from Babie🐕 (my dog) for more than a couple days and I was anxious, but Brianna took wonderful care of Babie and I knew she was comfortable right away and their dog Zeus was very playful with her, I don't think she wanted to come back! Brianna also kept me updated the entire time. Reliable and attentive. I’ll book again with them.”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and regularly care for the pets of family and friends. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and give them the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own pets. After all, pets are family. My schedule is very flexible as a part time server and college student. I’m generally available every day before 4 PM, and I often have evening availability depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can accommodate most requests with advance notice. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress free environment. I have a very friendly dog who loves other animals and can provide a crate if needed. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while their family is away.
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”
“Brandy was so sweet to my pup and sent daily updates! She was very responsive as well. He came back to me in awesome spirits and seemed to have a great time! I would definitely re-book with her!”
“Trina was amazing with Kane! He got a nose bleed, while I was on vacation, and he was in her care. She immediately notified me that night and promptly took him 40 minutes away to his vet; which actually saved his life! The vet said he probably wouldn't have made it until his appointment that next Monday! Honestly,I thought it was probably like a human and no big deal. I was wrong. He was recovering from a few things(which she and the vet knew all about the situation) I'm glad I did talk to the vet prior since she had to take him in. I would trust Trina with any of my fur babies! She was amazing and honestly did save my dogs life. She had to make that 40-60 minute drive twice for us! She was a great choice and a God send. I almost left him with my 19 year old who didn't go. I'm SOOOO glad I didn't! Thank you Trina! You will Alessia be my dog sitter!”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.
“Absolutely love Cherish! She was so attentive to our pups they were missing her when we got home! She went way above and beyond! Highly recommend you reach out to her if you need someone to care for your pets while you are away! You just can’t have her when I need her! 😀”
About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey and I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, but have been dog sitting full time for the past 3+ years. I also have my own licensed dog boarding business, and do Rover on the side when I have availability! My husband and I live in Athens,TN. We have about 5 acres of land fenced in. We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with. I hope to watch your fur baby real soon! ❤️ So I’m available any weekend or weekday to dog sit your sweet fur babies! I will make sure they are in great hands! Look forward to meeting new clients! I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands. So your dog wouldn’t ever need to be crated unless you have them sleep in one at night. I can also admin meds if they require to have any during the day. I have a fenced in yard that wraps around my whole house, and also send pics throughout the day how they are doing. They have plenty of room to play as well.

About: Cats are some of my favorite creatures on earth, and I have owned two of my own for seven years. One of my cats has separation anxiety, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your cats while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes.

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I spent 15½ years at PetsHotel caring for cats every single day - seniors, kittens, shy rescues, and bold orange boys who rule the house. I've done it all: meds, special diets, litter box scooping, and learning each cat's unique "love language." I also share my home with several cats of my own, so I get it - coming home to a calm, cared-for kitty is everything. I'll make sure your cat gets the exact balance of attention and alone time they prefer.

“Lyndsey and her kids were wonderfully sweet to my dog while I visited a tourist attraction. She was very prompt in all of our communications and understanding when I mistook a time zone difference! Lyndsey has a lot of experience and I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”
“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”
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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.

About: Hi, I'm Brandy! When you're away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support.

I look forward to becoming one of your pet's favorite people! Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide care throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly. As someone with veterinary clinic experience and pet CPR training, I understand the importance of safety and preparedness. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those requiring extra patience or specialized care. I also have experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, and small homestead animals. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I will provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands.

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress.

We’re in a process of putting a fence up to help them have more exercise!
About: One of my cats has separation anxiety and chronic health issues, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have owned pets since I was a kid, and have also spent over a decade riding and caring for horses. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes. My husband and I own our own company, and I work from home full-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible. This also allows me to bring my work to your house and spend extra quality time with your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind while you travel. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, and I monitor pets closely for any behavioral changes. I also want your pet to have an enjoyable, stress-free experience - wether they need cuddles or play (and hopefully both!) I am happy to cater to their individual needs.

About: I am new to Rover, but have been working with dogs/cats both in the veterinary field as vet tech, and Sitting for 8 years. In addition, I have owned dogs my whole life. I am *Fear-Free Certified* with a special interest in animal mental health, and making sure they feel calm and secure. I am skilled in reading body language and acting accordingly. I am also skilled at medication administration, oral or injectable. I have worked with dogs both in critical and emergency situations, and would be able to take the correct steps if an emergency were to occur. Historically, I have mainly worked with dogs and cats, but I am open to Sitting any species of any size. Along with my years of experience handling and caring for animals, I am an honest, passionate, and down-to-earth person, making me an excellent and efficient employee. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all the furry babies! I just moved to Tennessee from South Carolina and have a completely open schedule! I am looking forward to meeting new clientele. I can take walks any time of day and am free to Sit every day of the week. I only offer services through my clients' homes as I stay in an apartment. Pets are more comfortable this way, and can keep in their normal routine. Whether that be multiple walks a day, going to the park, or just relaxing in the back yard.
About: I've taken care of animals for many years, and am in the animal field. I have advanced animal training and have worked with a wide variety of animals.I can also do farm sitting but will discuss rates separately I am currently working full time in the animal field. I get over an hour lunch and have the weekends available. I can also spend time with them in the evenings and mornings. I will stay in your home to make sure the animal is in a comfortable environment. I will feed and water them as instructed. If they have any medical needs I will be able to help tend to that as well.
About: I have 15½ years of professional animal care experience from PetsHotel, plus 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I'm very familiar with all the different personalities and needs that come with pets - from shy seniors to high-energy pups - and I love letting dogs be dogs so they can live their best life! I offer baths, nail trims/grinding, and I have plenty of experience administering medication. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I bring lots of love, patience, and understanding to every visit. I recently moved to this beautiful rural area from a big city, and I service a large surrounding area. *For visits over 10 miles* from my home, rates will need to be adjusted to reflect a travel fee to cover gas/time, but I'm happy to work with you to figure out what's fair. I'm also very flexible with dates and times, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when I can. My children may be with me sometimes, but they're very good with animals. I've worked hard to teach them dog body language and how to safely approach pets they don't know. I look forward to loving your pet like my own! I just left my pet care related job of 15 1/2 years. I am now a stay at home mom and I homeschool my children. I’m always ready for a new client 🙂 We are very much animal people. Our pets are allowed on our furniture and my pets have their own space. Two of my dogs are in their senior years and can be a bit cranky at times but they are used to new pets coming into the home as we have had lots of rescues and fosters throughout their lives. I currently do not have a fenced yard, but live in a lovely rural area and can offer outdoor time on leash. You are welcome to bring bedding and toys to help your pet feel at home 💞 but it is not required. I would recommend bringing a crate if your pet is accustomed to using one, as it can often serve as a comfy safe place. Please do provide food from home 🙂

“Sharon took great care of our cat! She stayed in touch with us throughout our vacation and sent pictures each day. We could tell our cat was enjoying her vacation, as well. Thank you for everything, Sharon!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place to board our dog! DeRee and her husband took great care of Apollo and sent us updates daily. On top of all that they took him in on very short notice, so we’re extremely grateful for that as well. Will use again!”
“Kallie was very sweet and used good judgement when exposing my old girl to her pups. Pippa was very content and happy at pickup. I would recommend Kallie to watch your pup 🐶”
“This was a second time Lindsay watched our pup Flash. Lindsey is amazing! She sends pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day and even makes special peanut butter doggy treats for the dogs. Flash got Christmas cookies to go yesterday and he loves them! How cool is that?? Thank you Lindsey for taking such a great care of Flash! We will definitely be booking with Lindsey in the future :)”
“Tatum was great! If we need someone to watch Leroy again in this area, we will certainly take him to Tatum again. We recommend her highly: great communication, flexibile, and our fur baby was safe and happy there.”
“WE had them care for our 2 dogs for 9 nights due to us traveling to Chicago for a medical procedure for my husband. We received text and pic updates that made us feel good about knowing that our dogs are in good care. Thank you for everything that you did to make our boys feel at ease and comfortable during their stay. Marty & Olga”
“My first time away from Babie🐕 (my dog) for more than a couple days and I was anxious, but Brianna took wonderful care of Babie and I knew she was comfortable right away and their dog Zeus was very playful with her, I don't think she wanted to come back! Brianna also kept me updated the entire time. Reliable and attentive. I’ll book again with them.”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
“Brandy was so sweet to my pup and sent daily updates! She was very responsive as well. He came back to me in awesome spirits and seemed to have a great time! I would definitely re-book with her!”
“Trina was amazing with Kane! He got a nose bleed, while I was on vacation, and he was in her care. She immediately notified me that night and promptly took him 40 minutes away to his vet; which actually saved his life! The vet said he probably wouldn't have made it until his appointment that next Monday! Honestly,I thought it was probably like a human and no big deal. I was wrong. He was recovering from a few things(which she and the vet knew all about the situation) I'm glad I did talk to the vet prior since she had to take him in. I would trust Trina with any of my fur babies! She was amazing and honestly did save my dogs life. She had to make that 40-60 minute drive twice for us! She was a great choice and a God send. I almost left him with my 19 year old who didn't go. I'm SOOOO glad I didn't! Thank you Trina! You will Alessia be my dog sitter!”

“Absolutely love Cherish! She was so attentive to our pups they were missing her when we got home! She went way above and beyond! Highly recommend you reach out to her if you need someone to care for your pets while you are away! You just can’t have her when I need her! 😀”
“Cynthia and her husband was amazing! They were able to take care of pur dog and ferrets last minute (with only a 5 minute warning if that 😅) and made them feel right at home. Our dog Molly and our ferrets get super stressed when we leave them home so we took them on vacation with us but we needed someone to take care of them while we did activities and Cynthia did not hesitate taking them- even on a Saturday. Molly went right to them with no problem and no hesitation- she fit right in and didn't seem stressed or sad at all when we got her back. Cynthia communicated very well and even sent pictures of Molly and our ferrets and they looked like they were right at home and happy as can be!!! Way better than the daycares that have at least 10 other dogs and usually stick the dogs in a concrete kennel most of the day. You can tell Cynthia and her husband loves animals and cares for them and the animals can sense that. I counld not thank them enough for making their schedule work last minute and for caring for my babies as their own!!!! 🩷”

For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
“Shannon was loving and caring towards our pups. She sent daily pictures and even gathered the babies a bath before we picked them up. So happy with her service and care.”
“Smokeybear did well. Christina took very good care of him. I could tell she loves all animals and treated Smokey as one of her own pets. He seemed very happy after his stay there Thank you Christina.”
