“Our family loves Dorothy and Chuck!! They love our babies like we do. She’s great about sending us pictures and texts about how they’re doing while in their care. Highly recommend!”
About: I was a dog mom for 16 years to my beautiful baby girl. We went everywhere together. Literally everywhere. In that time I was also the vet tech, groomer, trainer, personal Vizsla chef, bone delivery girl and I became a professional tennis ball and flippy flop launcher. I have significant experience in puppy/baby dinosaur stages all the way to senior care. I have experience with rambunctious pups that may have a minor injury, allergies and medication administration. I sadly lost my girl a few years ago and have been keeping friends and family's pets since and I've loved getting some puppy snuggles! I am currently working as a nurse and I work one week on and one week off. In my weeks off, I have plenty of time to go walking at the park or hang out at home. My home is very dog friendly and allowed on all couches, chairs and beds. I have an orthopedic dog bed also available and lots of toys! My yard is partially fenced in with no gate on either end. All pups will be leashed when outside the home. No exceptions.
“Ms. April and family are awesome! She took very good care of my fur baby and communicated with me how she was doing the entire stay. Thank you again, and I look forward to working with her again!”

About: I have one dog, Zeus, he is 7 years old. I’m patient, attentive, dependable to routines. I understand how important it is for you to feel safe that you have well cared for babies. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for daytime, evenings, weekends, and overnight care depending on your needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I’ve had animals all my life, and would watch my friends pets growing up too. I’ve had everything from giant breads to little dogs and love them all. We have cats and dogs of our own.

We have a fenced in backyard, and our dogs are friendly. We also have the space to make sure they feel at home and welcomed.
“Parker was amazing! She was so kind and so sweet with my doggie! No one has ever gotten her to feel comfortable enough to eat after just meeting, but Parker somehow got her to not only taste her food but to eat all of it! I am so so thankful! If she is willing to watch her again I'd be more than grateful! Thank you so much!”
“I’ve used Karina to take care of my big dog (Max) and little dog (Daisy) during Memorial Day weekend. Karina was good about keeping me updated with photos and messages letting me know how they were doing. I felt so relieved that my 2 dogs were in capable hands while I was away. I highly recommend Karina, I know I’ll use her again, soon. Diana C.”
“Alina & her mom were wonderful. Our 2 babies were very well taken care of. Alina sent us pictures every day while we were away. They got to play and go on walks and enjoyed being outside. It’s so great to find people that love on them as much as we do!”

“Savannah was awesome. We have 3 cats, one still a baby. The baby got on the counter and shredded paper towels while we were gone, Savannah cleaned it up! She didn't have to do that, but she went above and beyond the call of duty. If you are looking for a cat sitter, SHE IS THE ONE TO CALL! Thanks for being awesome Savannah!!!!❤️”
“Cheryl was responsive and efficient and seems very good with animals. She dropped in on my two kitties and they seemed so happy when I got home. I’d definitely rebook with Cheryl and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.

“Erica is so great with my dogs! They love getting to go for walks with her, and I love that she sends me pictures and updates about how they’re doing. Definitely will use her again in the future!”
About: I've grown up having pets since I was young, so I feel extremely comfortable with pets of all kinds and all sizes. I began house-sitting and pet-sitting in college, and since then, friends and neighbors have continued to trust me with their fur babies. Occasionally, I have needed to administer flea and tick medicines (pills and creams) or allergy ointments. I work part time currently, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on pets regularly during the day, go on walks as needed, and hang out with them at night, if necessary. I have a large grassy area in front of my apartment where your dog can potty as needed and run as much as they want. I am also available to overnight stays at a client's home.
“Tyler has been a life saver. He's so helpful, timely and response to my girls needs. He's been so great to work with and has spent time getting to know my girls and I appreciate his help. Very professional, good communicator and I trust him. I highly recommend him for walks, visits, boarding or any need you may have for your pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail and a happy pup! 🐕 From tiny puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a special care routine, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. ❤️ I’m currently attending Union University for nurse anesthesia. Being a graduate student gives me the perfect balance of structure and flexibility, which means I can easily make time for your furry friend. My schedule allows for breaks throughout the day, so I can stop by for walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — it’s the highlight of my day — and I love incorporating their care into my routine as a fun and rewarding part of my week. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first. I will always follow your care instructions closely. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine love for animals — so you can feel confident your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
