“Mecca had a great stay with Hayley. She worked with us when we had to make adjustments to the drop off and pick up time. Very patient and professional. Will definitely book again”
“Brandon and his wife Miranda took great care of my 8-year-old rescue, Maria! Maria gets nervous around new people and places and Brandon was able to ensure she was comfortable by suggesting I bring Maria's bed since she is familiar with it, having his wife hand feed her since Maria seemed a little apprehensive around men, and giving her space and treats. Brandom also sent me photo updates of Maria and communicated very effectively through text messages whenever I wanted updates on Maria. I would definitely use his services again, as I feel he truly cares about animals, understands that they all have their quirks, and is willing to work with them. Thanks Brandon!”
“Pamela was great! Very responsive, accommodating, and took excellent care of Frankie for the entire week he was with her. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Roxy loved her stay with Troy and his cat Stubbz! Troy took great care of her, send lots of great pictures and videos, and made us feel totally comfortable leaving her with him! Would definitely book with Troy again.”
“Leah is incredible! I had to book a last minute stay for my dog and I felt so comfortable knowing she was snuggled and cared for just like she would be at home. I have an anxious older dog and she did great. We even got pictures of her lounging just like she would at home! I definitely will be back when I travel through Nashville.”
“Erid & Cheryl were so sweet to our girls. They sent pictures and videos to us while we were gone and were very respectful hoping not to bother us. We were hoping to find someone to watch them where they would feel loved and at home and Erid & Cheryl made the perfect environment. The girls already can’t wait to go back and visit!”
“Cyndie was great! Her home is super accommodating and setup perfectly for sitting. Our pup couldn’t have had a better experience. If Cyndie will have him, he will be back!”
“Michelle and Bryce are THE BEST. We had very unusual circumstances of needing longer term care for our dog and cat and Michelle and Bryce have truly truly taken them in as their own. They have lavished them with love and affection, as well as taken care of all their specific needs and quirks. They are communicative, honest, encouraging and so so effusive about their love of our pets. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for them in this season of our lives. And I deeply respect how they walk through the world with care - for one another, for the animals, for us. Thank you Michelle and Bryce!”
“Jodi and her pups are phenomenal hosts! They have a beautiful backyard to play in and I loved all of the photos and great communication. I will be calling Jodi again if she is available!”
“Scott is awesome! He sends daily updates on your dog which is very much appreciated. My dog Kodak came back super happy and I’m really satisfied, I will only be using Scott on this app. He’s got a big yard that my dog absolutely loved and a family that gives the dogs plenty of attention. 5 stars from me and Kodak thank you Scott”
“Molly was the most amazing sitter! She was so attentive to my old baby boy and a great communicator! Being an older dog mom, I’m always apprehensive about leaving Trooper for long periods of time because he’s very attached to me and needs more TLC than most dogs. Molly was very accommodating and patient with him until he adjusted. I highly recommend her!!!”
“I can’t sing Michelle’s praises enough. She was wonderful with my 13 week old puppy. We did a meet and greet first and made me feel confident that she would provide my fur baby with love and keep her safe. She kept me updated and sent pictures. She even helped with some training behaviors while boarding. Thank you Michelle!!”
“She took great care of my dog and was very kind and reliable. It’s our 2nd time with her!! I really appreciated the updates and the love she showed my pet. Highly recommend”
“Niyired took great care of my dog Emi. When I first met her she was very patient with the other dogs staying with her who were dying to meet my dog. I knew then she loves dogs and understands their world. I will definitely have my dog stay with her in the future.”
About: Feel comfortable and have peace of mind with daily updates. I have taken care of dozens of cats and dogs for their loving families while their parents travel for work or pleasure. I work remotely so I spend most of the day at home with the animals and like to take them on walks when I have a break :) I work remotely so I spend most of the day at home with the animals and like to take them on walks when I have a break :) I do prefer longer sits, 5+ days Feel comfortable and have peace of mind with daily updates. I can accommodate any request to make sure the temporary transition is as smooth as possible for the pets :) I do prefer longer sits, 5+ days
About: I have professional experience caring for dogs through Wag, PetSmart, and Petco. I worked with Wag for two years providing dog walking and pet care services similar to Rover, and I also worked as a professional bather at both PetSmart and Petco. In addition, I have experience training German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in Schutzhund-style training, which gave me hands-on experience working with strong, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, exercise, training, and care routines, and I take safety and each dog’s individual temperament seriously. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, structure, or simply a comfortable place to stay, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I would expect for my own pet. I’m available throughout the week and can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and experience handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I follow feeding, medication, exercise, and crate instructions carefully, and I’m comfortable maintaining structure for dogs that thrive on a routine.

“We have been requesting Carmen every time we go out of town. She has always provided great care for our cat Ron, and goes above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable and happy while we are gone!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Elizabeth! She was dependable, kind, and patient with our cat. It gave us great comfort as we traveled and we loved getting her pictures. She was very adept at giving our cat medication which is not easy! We would not hesitate to recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“We’ve been really happy with her! She takes such good care of my dog while I’m at work and always makes sure she gets plenty of time outside to play. I especially appreciate that she takes the time to work on some training and play games with her rather than just letting her out and watching the clock. It really feels like she makes the most of their time together. I also love getting the pictures and the little notes in the Rover Card each day about how my dog was doing and what they did together. Those updates mean a lot and are so reassuring when I’m away. She seems genuinely caring and attentive, and I feel really good knowing my dog is in her care! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Rebecca is fantastic! She sends great updates and cute pictures of our cats each time she visits which is very reassuring while we are away! Rebecca goes above and beyond including cleaning up hairballs and even checking our mail/bringing in packages for us. We will definitely continue booking with Rebecca in the future!”
“Jade was awesome with my boy! He is very picky, but he approved of Jade. She sent pictures daily with updates and I had no worries about his safety. This is the most comfortable I have been being away from him. Would definitely hire again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since i was 16! Whether it be going on walks, bathing them or just watching them! I’ve always had a love for animals, caring for them brings me joy! I’m working a full time! This is something I like to do any time I can on the side! I’m willing to work with anyone if they will work with me with my crazy work schedule. I’ll make room for taking care of anyone’s furry babies! I have a fenced in yard with a puppy, I make sure there isn’t anything harmful on the floor or in reach, there’s plenty of space and toys!
“Allison was the best sitter for our three kitties! We were out of town for an extended trip overseas and getting her updates always made our day. She always sent great photos and truly took the time to understand each of their personalities and approach them on their terms! Knowing she was caring for our cats so well truly gave us such peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her for future trips if she’s available!”
“We are repeat clients of Steve. He is always professional and a prompt communicator. Our kitty Asher is always excited when he stops by to feed him and give him attention when we are out of town.”
“My little guy has really bad anxiety 😥 So do I leaving him for a extended period of time Angela helped him so much. She went the extra mile to keep him calm. He looked so happy in the report cards. I definitely made the right choice hiring her. You could see he was very glad to see her every time she came to care for him and hang out with him. I will definitely hire her again for future trips.”
“Dominic is awesome! He’s a great communicator which is huge for pet parents who worry. You can tell he really loves animals and does a great job taking care of them. We’ll definitely book again!!”
“Amber did a great job. Video update every day of how our kitties were doing. We hope to be able to have her look after our kitty boys again soon. Would not hesitate to have her look after your pets. She is kind and responsible.”
About: I've been pet sitting for as many as 3 animals at a time since I was 12, I specialize in making pets feel cared for and following even complex instructions to the letter! I love cats and dogs of all sizes and energies. I really value putting in that extra effort to make a pet feel cared for and keeping a house tidy and safe. I can send updates every visit and value clear communication above all else. I work part-time as a stagehand with very flexible hours, often late nights, so my days are largely open for looking after whatever creatures come my way! I try to foster an environment of calm in any home I visit and am happy to work with a rowdier pup! I'm vigilant about potential hazards and have no problem keeping track of things like medicines, allergies or any other extras to consider.
About: I’m a proud cat parent to two cats, Ralph and Raspberry, who I absolutely adore! I also volunteer weekly with Nashville Cat Rescue at my local PetSmart, giving me even more hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I have reliable transportation, so I’m flexible and dependable when it comes to pet sitting. I’d love the opportunity to give your cats lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away! 🐾❤️
“Kristin has been doing an amazing job at sitting my little furry friends. I was nervous to have someone from Rover check on them because this is my first time using the app, but Kristin has gone above and beyond to not only check in but also to play with them and make them feel not so lonely when I’m away.”

“So thankful for Michelle! Needed help last minute and she took my dog in for daycare, and my dog had a wonderful time. Michelle had a very nice set up for watching the fur babies: in house space, fenced backyard and a doggie door. She is home and can be there for them which is fabulous! My baby will be coming back to Michelle!”
“I really love the whole Rover thing! Hayley was wonderful! She took pictures and let me know how my puppy was doing. She went above and beyond with everything I ask of her. I am super grateful for her care and love for animals! I will definitely use her again!”
“Mariah and Sierra were so kind, easy going, and accommodating. Benny seemed to be really comfortable there and had fun playing with their pups. I can’t recommend them enough and would gladly book with them again any time!”
“Both dogs came home tired and content after a full day of play! Brook was amazing and very responsive, quick to solidify our booking and sending photos and videos throughout the day of our dogs. Jules can be a wildcard because of her anxious GSD energy, but even she relaxed and appeared to have a good time.”
“Troy really helped us with some much needed reprieve and help with our pups! He was very responsive, easy going and understanding. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of our special pups for the day 💞”
About: I will love your pets as if they were my own! I’d love to help you feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pets whenever needed. Lover of both dogs and cats (I currently have both myself). Will provide all the love and cuddles to keep your little friend happy until you come home, and you stress-free from worrying about your kiddos. I am a freelancer and work from home so my schedule is very flexible! Happy to help with any early morning or later evening requests too. I live on a quiet cul de sac with plenty of walkable area around. Comfortable with crating dogs if needed. Whatever rules you keep for furniture or sleeping arrangements, I am happy to oblige by to keep your furry friend feeling as at home as possible while you’re away! For drop-ins at your home/apartment, if there is a dog park in the vicinity, I’d be happy to play with them there! For cats, I can feed, play, and change/scoop their litter if it applies.
About: A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of many breeds. I’ve owned more than 10 dogs throughout my life, so I understand how much our furry family members mean to us! I work from home, which means your pup gets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Our 5-member family are all dog lovers, so your dog will have lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. Our home has a fully fenced-in 0.25 acre backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and exercise. We also have a dog doorbell, so pups can let us know when they want to go outside or come back in. When your dog stays with us, they aren't just being watched—they're becoming part of our family! Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily let them outside for potty breaks, with our doggy doorbell. I care for pets in my home, where they can enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe play and outdoor time. I also have a friendly dog who loves having new furry friends to keep her company! I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day.
“Great communication and extremely accommodating. Our pup got sick before day care and she was more than willing to do drop ins instead to prevent other dogs from getting sick. He also clearly had a great time with Bethany!”
“My pup is missing her new pack leaders! Had a great week away, so mom could enjoy hers too! Thanks to these guys helping me enjoy my first vacation in over a year! We will going back to hang out most definitely! If I ever need a stay away will be leaving her with the Brandon pack! Thanks again!!!!!”
“We love Ashlee and Nash! Nash is so patient with our energetic puppy and I love seeing videos of them playing throughout the day. I feel comfortable knowing that our puppy is in good hands during the day!”

“Landy and Tim are great! Chewie’s first daycare with them went so well! He got two walks, lap sitting, and enjoyed being a part of their pack. Thanks guys! We’d love to book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 6. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve been relied on by multiple people to watch their dogs over the years. Since my mom is a full-time nanny a lot of her customers have dogs. So she would take care of the children and I took care of the pets. I’m currently training and caring for a grey pyrenees puppy at least a few times a week. I’m currently working as a full-time freelancer so any day at any time I’m free. Looking to earn some money on the side while still being able to control my hours until my business takes off :) I have a pet friendly apartment with a fenced dog park, two cats to keep your fur babies company (they are very friendly) and on occasion I have a great pyrenees puppy with me as well.
“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”
“Carolyn is very conscientious and caring, making sure she knows everything about how to take care of your fur baby. The boys had a blast with her and I got lots of pictures and videos. Thank you!”
“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”
“Loved all the photos. Cyndie was super responsive. My pup had a great time. It was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous but Cyndie and her family were terrific. I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals always in or around the house and treated like they are one of the family. Your pup would be no exception. I work from home, Monday-Friday along side the reigning employee of the month Butter bean, my terrier mix. Who truly gets along with any pup. I have a fenced in yard, doggy door and baby gate on the front porch. I’m experienced with crate trained pups but if you’re alright with it they could have free range in the house. I’m also experienced with pups needing meds or special care.
About: As a dedicated dog owner to three wonderful pups, I understand that pets are family. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My dogs are fed healthy, high-quality food, enjoy nutritious treats, receive plenty of exercise and affection, and are groomed by me with care. When your dog is with me, you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll be loved, well cared for, and treated like one of the family. I work full-time remotely as a tax auditor, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and love. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine with my own three dogs, so welcoming your pet into my home feels natural. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise, as well as several dog gates throughout my home to safely separate pets when needed for feeding, rest, or introductions. My three friendly, well-socialized dogs love having visitors, but I always take the time to ensure every pet feels comfortable at their own pace. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a safe, caring environment.

“We enjoyed meeting Carmen today! Milo liked her instantly and enjoyed his walk.💛☀️ Also Thankful to find someone who lives nearby, and can ck on Milo when we are away for the day.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Brooke through Rover. She was incredibly responsive and even accommodated a same-day booking, which was a huge help. She bonded quickly with my dogs and made us feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and clear communication stood out from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
“Elizabeth saved the day and went above and beyond for us! My dog ended up needing special care and medication after we booked with her, and she loved on my girl and helped me out during a very busy work week. She is kind, patient and trustworthy and an asset for anyone needing assistance with their baby.”
About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love taking care of these awesome little buds! I’ve taken care of and been around all sorts of dog breeds, including a few years of fostering dogs that needed some special love to make them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part time from home, mostly doing video editing on my computer. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to make time for watching over furry friends when they need it the most. I also live with my cousin, who is around a lot of the time and loves it when friends come to visit! Dogs are welcome to roam the house, and I am happy to crate your pets, if that is desired. Any pets I look after will get an enormous amount of attention, because I just won’t be able to help myself!
“Thank you Ashley!! You were always there and Emmett was excited to go for his walk. I appreciate you for doing this while I was unable to do so because of surgery. I’m sure we will be seeing you again in the future!”
“Steve is one of the few people that can get my stubborn dog to walk further than just down the street. He has been very professional and detailed since I’ve been using his services. I would highly recommend using Steve if you’re looking for someone to look after your pet.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️

“Jennifer was wonderful! Pixel sometimes takes a little while to warm up to new people and he took to her like she was a long lost friend! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve helped family members take care of dogs by walking and bathing when needed. I’ve always loved being around dogs all my life as I grew up around them and worked in pet stores since 2022. I am currently working full time but the earliest i can stop by is 8 am and the latest being 9:30 at night if needed. I am comfortable with working with any restrictions required by owner, even if it means crating the animal, or any dieting the animal may have. I am also CPR certified through the American Red Cross, i can also provide proof of certification.
About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays. I have trained all of my furry friends and even helped my Boston Terrier Mix have puppies. I have also cared for elderly pets and so I understand what it takes to give them the love and treatment they need in their more frail years. I currently have very flexible hours and can take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. I had a career in Nursing, but I am currently not practicing so I am free to help you out with your needs. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have always had pets in my home, but take great pride in my home being well cared for and clean. I would ensure your home would be taken care of in the same way while looking after your pets. Whether it is my home or yours, or taking your pets for a walk, I will be respectful and ensure your pet and your home is well looked after.
About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was little, but have offered services to other folks and their pets since I’ve been able to drive. I’m the owner of two dogs myself and I’m very familiar with breeds like chihuahuas, pit bulls, and coonhounds. I have cared for dogs of all ages and degrees of care (medicine, specific diets). I work for myself at a salon, so I have complete freedom of my schedule. This allows me to have more flexibility with clients during the day and on weekends/holidays. I think all animals thrive more in their own environments, which is why I don’t offer services in my own home. My dogs have their own boundaries that I want to respect.. I will take the time to get to know your animal and gain their trust in order to provide the best care for them while you’re away.
About: Hey I’m Sarah. I love animals and what their presence brings. In the past I worked at a dog daycare with several breeds of dogs, all shapes and sizes. I’m also on Wag with over 400 pet care services to date. I have a 2 cats at home, Pepper and Cookie Monster so for owners who have cats, no need to worry! I am a fulltime traveling music professional, but I also enjoy spending time with animals to help me be more physically active, and I believe that the way animals view the world can be beneficial and healing. I'm hoping I can apply their perspective to my writing. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I like to go on walks with dogs throughout various hours of the day from early morning to early evening when I’m not touring. I also can do drop ins and check on them for potty breaks and play! Overnights and sittings are also an option for those who are out of town. My schedule tends to be more free during the week, but sometimes I also do sittings. Open to holidays in normal days of fun with the fur babies! I try to approach new fur friends with a low calm tone of voice, a friendly demeanor, with mutual respect as I would treat any human. I see them as any other living thing on the planet that deserves equal kind treatment.

“Mecca had a great stay with Hayley. She worked with us when we had to make adjustments to the drop off and pick up time. Very patient and professional. Will definitely book again”
“Brandon and his wife Miranda took great care of my 8-year-old rescue, Maria! Maria gets nervous around new people and places and Brandon was able to ensure she was comfortable by suggesting I bring Maria's bed since she is familiar with it, having his wife hand feed her since Maria seemed a little apprehensive around men, and giving her space and treats. Brandom also sent me photo updates of Maria and communicated very effectively through text messages whenever I wanted updates on Maria. I would definitely use his services again, as I feel he truly cares about animals, understands that they all have their quirks, and is willing to work with them. Thanks Brandon!”
“Roxy loved her stay with Troy and his cat Stubbz! Troy took great care of her, send lots of great pictures and videos, and made us feel totally comfortable leaving her with him! Would definitely book with Troy again.”
“Leah is incredible! I had to book a last minute stay for my dog and I felt so comfortable knowing she was snuggled and cared for just like she would be at home. I have an anxious older dog and she did great. We even got pictures of her lounging just like she would at home! I definitely will be back when I travel through Nashville.”
“Cyndie was great! Her home is super accommodating and setup perfectly for sitting. Our pup couldn’t have had a better experience. If Cyndie will have him, he will be back!”
“Michelle and Bryce are THE BEST. We had very unusual circumstances of needing longer term care for our dog and cat and Michelle and Bryce have truly truly taken them in as their own. They have lavished them with love and affection, as well as taken care of all their specific needs and quirks. They are communicative, honest, encouraging and so so effusive about their love of our pets. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for them in this season of our lives. And I deeply respect how they walk through the world with care - for one another, for the animals, for us. Thank you Michelle and Bryce!”
“Jodi and her pups are phenomenal hosts! They have a beautiful backyard to play in and I loved all of the photos and great communication. I will be calling Jodi again if she is available!”
“Niyired took great care of my dog Emi. When I first met her she was very patient with the other dogs staying with her who were dying to meet my dog. I knew then she loves dogs and understands their world. I will definitely have my dog stay with her in the future.”
“Nathan and his family were incredible. We were so relieved knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were out of the country for over a week. Nathan sent pictures and updates daily. They were so kind to help with some medication delivery and also extra generous to feed our elderly pup some special meals when she didn’t want to eat much. We appreciated their flexibility with pick up times after our flight was delayed. Can’t express our gratitude enough! Would highly recommend Nathan to anyone!! Thanks so much again!”
“Jen did a great job, she was very accommodating and sent me updates with pictures. I could see my baby was relaxed around her. I appreciated that she had my kitty in her crate with everything ready to go when I picked her up.”
“After unfortunately, needing a sitter for my dog exactly one week before I left town for Christmas and everywhere else as full. I had the pleasure of booking with Kayahja over Christmas week. Honestly, she was a godsend and the best sitter I’ve ever had for my pup Bentley. From the start, he was so comfortable with her and her three adorable dogs. She listened to every need that Bentley has and he had the best time with her. She was very communicative and sent me daily updates, photos and videos of Bentley reassuring that he was having the best time. Kayahja treated Bentley like he was one of her own pups. Even sending him off with a big hug and his fave ball from her home. Needless to say, we have found our permanent sitter for Bentley. I highly recommend Kayahja to care for your dog!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Sean take care of my dog, Indie, while I was away in Maine. This was the first time I had left Indie for such an extended period, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care and attention provided. From the moment I met Sean, I felt at ease and confident that Indie was in capable hands. He went above and beyond to ensure Indie's well-being, providing regular updates, engaging in stimulating activities, and maintaining Indie's routine. It was evident that Sean genuinely cared for Indie and treated him as if he were their own. The peace of mind I had knowing that Indie was so well taken care of allowed me to enjoy my trip fully. I highly recommend Sean and would not hesitate to entrust Indie's care to them in the future. Thank you for providing such an exceptional dogsitting experience!”
“My 3-month-old puppy received such loving care from Patti and her family. Any future out-of-town trips will be completely worry free since I know Charlie is in the best of hands.”
“Emily was great! She responded to my last-minute request after another sitter canceled on me. She runs a doggy daycare and knows exactly what she’s doing! Wilson was well cared for.”
“I’ve used Jamie multiple times and never have had an issue. Very accommodating and my pup always seems to have enjoyed her stay there. Highly recommend as I’ll continue to use her for my Rover needs.”
“Mallory and her family took wonderful care of my little guy while we were away on vacation! The amount of love they showed my pup and the care taken to ensure he was comfortable throughout his stay was so refreshing. We received updates and pictures and videos as well, which made us feel good while we were away. I’d recommend Mallory to everyone! She cares deeply for doggies and it clearly shows!”
