“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy again!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.
“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“Somer did an amazing job looking after my 14-year-old beagle mix. It’s hard leaving a senior behind but Somer put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mary is absolutely a fantastic dog watcher! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dog Gia. She was very easy to contact and provided daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with my Maltese dog Maddy, She was attentive, kind, and really took the time to make sure my dog felt safe and settled. I loved how communicative she was throughout the stay—sending updates and little notes that helped me relax knowing Maddy was in good hands. It’s clear Katie genuinely cares about animals, and Maddy picked up on that immediately. She came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katie again, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone warm, reliable, and truly attuned to pets’ needs. Thank you, Katie—you were amazing”

“Super satisfied with my booking with Ashley. It was my first time using Rover for my senior doggie out of the country, and Ashley made it such a smooth and worry-free process. She was very flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, and she sent picture updates throughout the week. I was nervous about being away from my dog for the first time in the 15 years I've had her, but Ashley's quick responses and communication eased my worries very quickly. Definitely recommend!”
“Actually the best dog sitter i've had. She kept me updated on my dog's and sent pictures so i could see them . Definitely Recommend her if you easily stress about your fur babies.”

“Addison is a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly responsive from the start and arrived at our home exactly as planned. She followed all of my feeding instructions perfectly and took the extra time to play with my cat, which gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely be hiring her again. Highly recommended!”
“Darby was a treasure! She took great care of my cat, playing & giving her affection, as well as going above and beyond keeping things nice in my home. Would definitely book again!”
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“I never have to worry when leaving our cat with Brooke. She always provides great updates and the cutest pictures. Our cat is skittish and does not come out for anyone except Brooke - I swear she’s a kitty whisperer. Highly recommend!”
“Elaina was great with my cats! She sent updates and pictures and the both came out to visit, which one of them is a tad shy and takes a bit to warm up to people. Will definitely be trying to use her again in the future!”
“Rachel was a delight; friendly, responsive and punctual. She took care of our three kitties very well, including one who has some health issues and requires a bit of special handling. She sent pictures and a video while we were gone, which we really appreciated since we missed them very much. This was the first time I had used Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect, but was more than pleased. I will DEFINITELY be contacting Rachel in the future the next time that we need pet sitting.”
“Wow! Anna was such a pleasure to watch our cats while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very thorough and gave them great attention. She included awesome photos of my 3 cats with every visit, we looked forward to every update! Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Crystal is the 3rd sitter I’ve used and the only one I have felt comfortable with. I am not usually one to leave reviews; however, Crystal deserves her flowers! I have 8 cats (insane, I know) which can be overwhelming for me, let alone someone unfamiliar with their routine, medical issues, and the overall volume of duties. Despite this, Crystal took excellent care of my babies (and home), followed instructions, and was very communicative. I would utilize Crystal’s services again and believe others ought to as well.”
“Allison was amazing! She stopped by to check in on my cat, Nuts, while I was out of town and did a great job. She was very communicative, sending me plenty of updates and photos so I knew Nuts was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m away.”
“I hadn't taken a vacation in a long time, and I was worried about my two baby cats. Taylor set my mind and heart at ease by sending me daily reports and pictures. She is VERY reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking for her services again. My cats are usually not sociable, but they loved her! Highly recommend! It's easy to give her 5 stars!”
“Lucia always takes such good care of our cats. She keeps their space clean. She’s attentive to their needs especially our diabetic cat who needs injections twice daily. The litter box’s are always clean when we get home. Lucia is also very communicative about each visit and sends lots of sweet pictures that makes it feel easier to be away from home. I know they’re in good hands with her.”
“Helena was amazing with our cats while we were away. She managed to get adorable pictures and was so responsive. We can't recommend her enough and will definitely use her again next time we leave town.”
“Kathleen took great care of our three cats for a long weekend, including our elderly kitty who needs pills and specially mixed wet food twice a day. She was communicative, sent plenty of photos, and took extra care cleaning up a few barfs. Really appreciate her!”
“Stephanie was great, all my animals loved her- even my pit-bull mastiff who can be weird with people took to her right away. And I have a very shy cat who hides and comes out for no one, but she came out of hiding for Stephanie, which says a lot. I was able to enjoy my trip out of town and not worry about them. She sent updates and pictures and I hope to have her drop in again when I need it. She's very likable, has good energy, is trustworthy, and was on time every time. Highly recommend.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.

“Kenzie is a very kind person and super accommodating. While my anxious dog may not have been the biggest fan of their German shepherd puppy, Kenzie did everything she could to help my dog feel safe and calm; even putting up her own dog in another room during my dog's short daycare stay. She definitely put my dog's needs first, and for that I am grateful.”

“Somer did an amazing job looking after my 14-year-old beagle mix. It’s hard leaving a senior behind but Somer put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with my Maltese dog Maddy, She was attentive, kind, and really took the time to make sure my dog felt safe and settled. I loved how communicative she was throughout the stay—sending updates and little notes that helped me relax knowing Maddy was in good hands. It’s clear Katie genuinely cares about animals, and Maddy picked up on that immediately. She came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katie again, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone warm, reliable, and truly attuned to pets’ needs. Thank you, Katie—you were amazing”
“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Actually the best dog sitter i've had. She kept me updated on my dog's and sent pictures so i could see them . Definitely Recommend her if you easily stress about your fur babies.”
“Jenny is amazing!! Not only she took such a good care of Matilda, but she kept me posted about how she was doing by sending videos and pictures of Matilda having a blast. That allowed us to enjoy our vacations knowing Matilda was in great hands. When we picked her up I could see how confortable Matilda was at her house and Jenny gave her a shower and she was looking sparkling clean. Thank you for absolutely everything!!”
About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday . I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it!
“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“Communication throughout boarding was excellent! We had a meet and greet prior to boarding that helped me feel more at ease with my doggo's well-being. There were several walks, photo updates, and time with other dogs playing. I'd book with Nicole and Dexter again, if their schedule allows during future trips!”
“Lucia was a perfect sitter for Tymber! She sent updates and pictures several times a day, and her sweet doggy Milo treated Tymber as if they had been friends forever. Tymber had lots of exercise and play time in her fenced in yard. Lucia’s husband was very loving and attentive as well. I know that my best friend was very safe and cared for during her stay, and I highly recommend Lucia as a sitter!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Drop off and pick up went very smoothly. I could tell my pup had a great time with Kane and his dogs. Highly recommend working with Kane for any future Pet stays/needs. Kane was also very accommodating due to Rufus staying with him over the Christmas/Holiday break. Thank you, Kane!”
