“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”
“What a wonderful experience! Joan’s communicating was top notch from our initial conversation. Her calm and loving demeanor with my dogs and my family gave us a sense of comfort before we even left her doorstep. Joan had nothing but kind words and sweet insight for us. My pups had a lovey stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Joan!”

“Kaylee is an answer to my prayers for my collie, Lassie. In every way! Lassie stayed with Kaylee for a week, never having been away from me before. Kaylee devoted full attention to Lassie's every need, and took excellent care of her! The multiple pictures she sent every day were such a pleasure to receive and a great comfort to me! I couldn't have found anyone better than Kaylee. Her care of Lassie was perfect. I never have to search again! Thank you, Kaylee!”
“What a pleasant experience! This was our first time boarding our cat Clovis. Devin and Delisa were the best! Clovis got the best care and I got the best feedback while away! I super recommend them and will be booking with them next time for sure! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you, Meredith! We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Meredith was so accommodating as our travel plans kept changing. She kept us updated with frequent pictures and messages, as she understood we were nervous leaving our little dog with a stranger. We will use her again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
“Great experience! We left our 2 golden retrievers 10 days. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos while we were away. They went in walks, the dog park, and had the best time. We were 100% comfortable and our babies were, too!”

“This Wonder Woman coaxed our super-shy kitty out of hiding. She took the time to play with the laser (we are talking under the bed or buried in the closet hiding spots) to entice him - and created a love monster demanding pets. She is always on time, communicates wonderfully, and doesn't give up on the socially impaired pet. A wonderful sitter!”
About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs
“Sabrina was amazing with both our dogs and cat! We have an anxious lab who she gave extra love and attention to and worked with. We so appreciate her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Samantha, did a fantastic job of looking after our 10 month old Ragdoll kitten, and our home. She played with our kitten everyday and sent pictures and video of his exploits. He seemed very content while we were away. We will definitely book Samantha again.”
“Lauren was awesome! Did an amazing job taking care of our three cats, was responsive and on time, + our house was super clean when we got back and the cats were very happy. Highly recommend!”

“Emily was wonderful with Jux! Not only was she able to take on the request last minute, but was super responsive, wanted to know precise care instructions to ensure Jux was happy, and kept me updated while I was out of town with visit updates! I am sure I will be requesting Emily again for dog sitting Jux during any future business trips, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an above qualified and caring new friend for their dog or cat!!!”
“Elizabeth was great! I contacted her on really short notice and she was able to work with me on when I needed her to check in on my cats. She did everything I asked and was a great help! Thanks again!”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic! She really showed care while taking care of our cats! It was a huge relief knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town for so long.”
“Elle was absolutely amazing! Phenomenal communication the entire time and very detailed updates. Elle went above and beyond to take care of Kafka, and followed my detailed instructions to the letter.”

“Lauren watched our cat while we were out of town, and as always, our cat loved her! In fact, he rarely sits in anyone’s lap, and there were pictures that she sent us where he was sitting in her lap. It was so cute! She’s clearly a cat whisperer. Can’t wait to hire Lauren again! She’s the best!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have been a pet sitter since I was in high school! I have experience with puppies and adult dogs and I treat all animals like they are my own! I am on break from school and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits pretty much any time! I am able to give dogs and cats the attention they need during the day while their parents are away. I am flexible throughout the week, whatever you need!

“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”
“Our rescue was transporting a dog for adoption and had a gap between drivers. Raleigh was flexible and worked with us quickly to take care of Canela until the next transport leg was available a few hours later. She was great to us in making arrangements and very sweet to Canela. We appreciate her so much!”
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!
“Excellent communication about our dog's daycare stays. Having Lisa's dog there is a big plus for our dog's socialization. Drop offs and pick ups were smooth. Our dog must have enjoyed being there as on the second and remaining day drop offs, he got out of the car and ran to Lisa's front door! We will certainly have her watch our 105 lb. Black Lab in the near future, if only for him to have a change of pace!”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“We love when Brady comes to stay at Michael’s he seems so at home and happy. We can leave without worries knowing he’s loved and cared for as much as he is when he’s with us. Thanks Michael.”
About: Hi, I’m Denise! I’ve been caring for pets for 22 years, from energetic pups and curious cats to gentle seniors. I’m reliable, patient, and adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, medications, or quiet companionship, I make sure your furry family feels safe and loved — and you’ll always get updates for peace of mind! I am available full time to pet sit including visits, dog walk, overnight stays short or long. I am just starting with rover so schedule is open. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in both your home or mine. I follow feeding schedules, handle medications, maintain litter/cleanup, and provide playtime, cuddles, or quiet time depending on your pet’s personality. I also send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for.
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
About: I have lived with/cared for dogs my entire life, and though I would consider myself a “dog-person” - I love spending time with all animals! I work from home so I have tons of flexibility for daily drop-ins, walks, and boarding needs. I have an almost-3 year old dog at home that I take on multiple daily walks, as well as a fenced in backyard, and she loves hanging out with new friends! I have been fostering for the last year, so have welcomed many different temperaments into our home and have gained experience in administering medication and dealing with high stress/anxiety animals, and can read body language extremely well. I can accommodate many different needs for any pet - senior dogs and puppies are welcomed. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to meet and hang out with your beloved pets! I work from home, so pups staying with us are rarely left alone except for maybe an hour or so if I need to run errands or have plans. Would prefer all boarding animals to be crate trained, just in case of emergencies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves making new friends! I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of streets to walk and get energy out - and can also offer training, if interested, for mental stimulation as well.
“🥹🥹🥹 Lisa is incredibly sweet to my fur baby, she always gives tons of pics and feedback!! This was Ellie’s second stay with Lisa and won’t be her last either :) thank you Lisa for everything that you continue to do for us”
About: I've had dogs and cats of all sizes ever since I can remember. I currently have two dogs, a 90 pound lab and a 50 pound Weimaraner mix! Both love to be outside, go on walks, and cuddle up! I'd love to help you out in any way shape or form, including, but not limited to, watching your pets, walking your pets, and even letting them out on potty breaks! I work part-time, but my shifts are never longer than 6 hours. In those times, I live with my family- who is also available for our dogs. I love post-dinner walks with my doggies and spending as much time as possible outside with them. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard that's about half an acre, so plenty of space for the doggos to run around! I have two other dogs – a lab and a hound, that left to play but equally as much sleep. They love dogs of all sizes and ages and love to be with cats as well! They're not rough, but definitely high energy. My family has been missing our cat for about a year and we're dying to have another in the house!!
“Great place for my dog to spend the day, we will definitely utilize the services this family provides again. They treated us and our dog as family, very warm and welcoming atmosphere. And my dog loved it.”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”

“Excellent service. My dog was well taken care of, happy, fully exercised, and in great hands. Rebecca is quick to respond and an effective communicator. It is a relief to know that I never have to worry about my dog getting excellent treatment and care. Rebecca is great to work with and will use again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a gentle, caring nature and a deep respect for each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup who loves adventures or a shy dog who needs a little extra patience, I adapt to their needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m dependable, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, so you can relax knowing your furry child is in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with plenty of affection, belly rubs, and walks that leave tails wagging! 💕 I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with and love on your pups! I am happy to take care of your fur baby in your home or mine. I have a friendly cavapoo who can keep your fur baby company, and two kids that absolutely love to cuddle and play with your dog! Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in beds— and I will happily do whatever works best for your dog— if they prefer the crate or their dog bed.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with cats, a St. Bernard, as well as farm animals including cows and chickens, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities from an early age. Today, I’m a proud cat person with four cats of my own and a very loved granddog who keeps me active and reminds me how important daily walks and attention are for happy, healthy dogs. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re out of town, whether that means drop-in visits, staying with them, or making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always happy pets and peace of mind for their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide reliable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and giving each visit the time and care every animal deserves. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect your home, keeping spaces clean and secure while sending updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I am a lover of all things flora and fauna. I grew up with three dogs in the house, all different sizes. I cared for my 16 year old lab mix from her animal shelter adoption until her passing a couple years ago. Since then, a wonderful cat adopted me and I couldn't be more grateful to have another pet to love through this season of life. I've also owned and cared for a menagerie of exotic pets from gerbils and fish, to snakes and bearded dragons. I love animals more than most people and spending time with them always makes me a better person. I am comfortable with medication routines as well as any normal needs your pet may have. I am a 32 year old freelance writer and photographer, so you know I'll be sure to share pictures of your pet while you're away! I've also spent a significant amount of time volunteering at local shelters and was the organizer of an annual pet shelter donation drive for a few counties throughout West Virginia and Virginia. Animals and their welfare are one of my true passions in life. Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon! 🐱🐾🐶 I’m a freelance photographer and writer, looking to live a more active lifestyle. I’d love to take your dogs on a midday potty break, or provide your cat with some attention and a snack ☺️ I am also available after 6 p.m. most weekdays and from morning to evening on the weekends! Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding services at this time, but I am happy to visit your home to provide walks or food and water throughout the daytime and evenings.
“Hannah has been great since the first day she started! She loves the dogs and she gets them out for nice walks while I am unable to walk them. She shows up at the agreed upon time and is very reliable! Hannah is definitely a great dog walker.”
About: I have taken care of dogs that needed to take medicine and have dog-sat one hybrid dog for the past 9 years. Depending on the amount of time I am able to have with the pets, we often go for 3-4 hour long walks/runs a day. I do work full time away from home. I’m looking to make some extra money while in-between jobs so I can pay bills. But I am extremely passionate about animal care, and I’m hoping if this turns into something long-term then both you and I will be happy. I am unable to provide home services through my own place because my complex does not allow animals. But the environment I can provide is walks, jaunts to dog parks and—if permitted—hikes on fun trails.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have been a pet sitter since I was in high school! I have experience with puppies and adult dogs and I treat all animals like they are my own! I am on break from school and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits pretty much any time! I am able to give dogs and cats the attention they need during the day while their parents are away. I am flexible throughout the week, whatever you need!
About: Willing to feed, walk, play with your furry friends! Administer any medications as needed. Willing to take care of your pets as directed, will give lots of love and care! Send me a message to arrange days/times, can be flexible! Weekends are always good, as well as evenings. Let me know when and how I can help! Will provide safe and positive experience for pet and owner. Excited to meet and take care of your furry family. Will treat you’re pets and home as my own!
“Elle is so sweet and professional. She really helped me out with taking Bam on some walks for me after I sprained my ankle. Would ask for her help again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have had dogs, cats/kittens, rabbits, hamsters, rats, mice, fish, snails and hermit crabs. But I have pet sat all kinds of lizards, birds, ferrets, turtles and of course cats/dogs. I am comfortable administering medicine and have experience with fear reactive animals. If you’d like me to take your dog on a run/hike I would absolutely love to. I’m very active and love being outside. If your dog needs more mental stimulation I can play games with them/teach them some new tricks! I am a teacher so I can visit before and after work throughout the week, and since i’m off on the weekends, I can be more flexible then! Unfortunately I cannot bring cats/dogs to my home unless my dog gets along great with yours! I could potentially bring animals that live in a cage though. I’m very comfortable visiting animals in their own homes, as that is usually less stressful for them!
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a year with a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (two labs and a tabby cat!), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! 🐾🫶🏼 Between classes and work, Tuesdays, and weekends work best for me! Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I am pretty busy, but am able to do early mornings and evenings those days! I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.
About: Hello! My name is Kelsey! I am 26 years old and I am from Johnson City, Tennessee. I recently moved to Knoxville, TN for a job opportunity. I have had a love for animals since I was young. I have taken care of animals just about my whole life! I have shadowed in a veterinary clinic, volunteered at a doggy daycare/boarding business, dog sat, and have pets of my own! I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own and have had chickens and even goats so my animal experience is extremely vast! I offer pet sitting and walking. I am extremely flexible and will try my hardest to work around your schedule to make everything more convenient for you! I will love and take care of your pets like they are my own! :) I clinical rotation is currently Tuesday through Friday in Hoover from 8-4:30. Monday’s are very flexible for me, as I have class but hours tend to change. I lived in at the end of a quiet neighborhood that does not get much traffic other than neighbors that live at the end of the road. My two friendly dogs would love to keep your dog company!
About: I have been doing petcare in California for the past two years. I am independently insured for pet walking and sitting. Growing up in Tennessee, my family had a running total of 10 cats and 2 dogs. We had kittens, strays, and elderly pets. All of our cats were shorthaired, but my grandmother had a longhaired cat. I briefly took care of another longhaired cat that a friend found in his neighborhood. He couldn’t keep it and knew I had experience with cats, so he called me and I took it in until we found its owner. The dogs I grew up with were very different. We got Hook, our black labrador retriever, from a breeder. He came with a pedigree and everything. Years later, in his old age, a corgi mix showed up at our house. We weren’t able to find her owners and we ended up keeping her. I credit her with keeping Hook alive a little longer. I know how much of a difference our animals can make. I have done petsitting in the client’s home and in my own home with pets, often with multiple animals at one time. I even kept three guinea pigs for about a week in December 2023. In Tennessee, I worked as a volunteer at a local animal shelter, reading to cats and dogs through a program designed to help socialize the animals. I am unable to pet sit animals in my current apartment, and would treat it as a privilege to be let in your home in any capacity. My current job is a flexible, part time, remote job that I can do from anywhere. This leaves me with a lot of availability for your pet! I am patient with animals and I never take my emotions out on them. There are times where I have had to be firm with animals, of course, (can you imagine keeping 6 cats off the counters? Or keeping our corgi mix from nipping at our black lab while she tried to herd him outside?), but I’ve never been mean or lost my temper with an animal, and our corgi was a Mess™. I can clean traditional litterboxes and have familiarity with some higher-tech ones. I understand body language cues from both dogs and cats. As the daughter of a former landlord, I understand the frustration that comes with letting someone in your home just for them to take advantage of you. Therefore, you can be certain I will maintain the utmost respect for your belongings, your home, and your pet.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years through my mom’s pet sitting business, The Funky Monkey. During that time, I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, and following owners’ care instructions. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time as a server and just completed nursing school! I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on most weekdays and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take the time to build trust with every pet and ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before the first booking so both you and your pet can feel comfortable and we can make sure it’s a great fit. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”
“Lanelle was awesome she kept me constantly updated with my dog in terms of playfulness, walks, temperament and etc. I would definitely come back in the future, and I highly recommend!!!”
“Paul and his family were amazing with my dog. They made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing and went above and beyond to accommodate me. I would let them watch Onyx again in a heartbeat.”
“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“Kaylee is an answer to my prayers for my collie, Lassie. In every way! Lassie stayed with Kaylee for a week, never having been away from me before. Kaylee devoted full attention to Lassie's every need, and took excellent care of her! The multiple pictures she sent every day were such a pleasure to receive and a great comfort to me! I couldn't have found anyone better than Kaylee. Her care of Lassie was perfect. I never have to search again! Thank you, Kaylee!”
“Thank you, Meredith! We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Meredith was so accommodating as our travel plans kept changing. She kept us updated with frequent pictures and messages, as she understood we were nervous leaving our little dog with a stranger. We will use her again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
“Great experience! We left our 2 golden retrievers 10 days. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos while we were away. They went in walks, the dog park, and had the best time. We were 100% comfortable and our babies were, too!”
“My dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay with Jenny. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts of how they were doing. Very satisfied with the care they received.”
“Elizabeth was the most lovely dog-sitter for our 2 English Springer Spaniels!! It felt like we were leaving them with a family friend. She let us do a meet and greet to answer any questions beforehand, and she was attentive to their unique needs all throughout their stay. Drop off/pick up was easy, and bonus - her home is v close to the airport. Our dogs are our babies, so it feels so good to know they were safe and happy at Camp Elizabeth! They especially loved their walks with her along the greenway. Elizabeth is a true dog lover - her thoughtful care of our babies gave us peace of mind. Her partner also enjoyed lots of love from our silly noodle pups. Excited to book another stay with her for our next trip!”
“Viviana is fantastic! She really went above and beyond to provide special attention and care to my nervous pup. By the time I went to pick my pup up, it seemed like she didn’t even want to leave! They sent so many updates, photos, videos, etc that I barely even had to miss my pup while she was staying with them too!”
“Heather was great with our dog. She has two other dogs and they played well together. She has a nice fenced in yard which makes it convenient for the dogs to "run Wild". I would definitely use Heather again as a sitter for our dog.”
“Hanna watched our two corgis for five days while we were out of town and she was very prompt in giving us updates and did a great job taking care of them! Our dogs looked to be having a blast with her corgi as well, we would definitely recommend her to others for dog sitting!”
“Braleigh was great for my dog! She and her family gave her tons of attention and play time in the yard. She was responsive and made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos. Can’t recommend her enough!”
