“Highly recommend Victoria and Charles. They sent us pictures of Rex showing he was very calm and relaxed and enjoying his time at their house. We loved being able to visit before we chose them to watch our little guy to see how well they all got along. Perfect! House and fenced backyard add to the safe, warm experience.”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Wren and Gracie loved their stay with Gabrielle and her husband! We were so glad to know they were safe and happy for the week we were gone. Will definitely board with them again!”
“Ashley kept on constant contact with us during our vacation and sent pics of Disco throughout ! We are so thankful for her care and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her services !”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”
“Jenny accepted a last minute booking and really helped us out of a bad situation. My mother in law fell and was in the hospital. We needed someone to take care of her dog. Jenny accepted the booking and took geeat care of Butter. She was accommodating and response. We really appreciate everything she did to help with Butter.”
“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”
“Gloria was wonderful! She went above and beyond to care our puppy in every way. She was great about sending updates with photos, and I’m certain our pup had the best time while with her!”

“Lauren has taken care of Savanna's needs as a senior cat well. Trying to make sure she was loved while we were gone! Thank you Lauren! Savanna will see you again in September!”
About: I've been caring for my own cats for over 8 years and have had three of them. I enjoy visiting cat cafés and getting to know cats with different personalities, which has helped me become patient and attentive to their individual needs. While I'm new to professional pet sitting, I'm responsible, dependable, and committed to following your pet's routine carefully. Whether it's feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, or giving them affection and companionship, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own.
“Emily once again did an incredible job watching my two cats! She always goes above and beyond, even helping me with a house issue and going out of her way to ensure things were in order, plus picking up an additional day when my trip was delayed. Thank you Emily!”
“Madeline was wonderful! She was very attentive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and kept us updated with pictures every visit, which made us feel very comfortable being away from our boys. We’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her!”
“Cristal dropped in on our cats for a week while we went on vacation. We got several pictures, detailed notes and she even set up a video for the cats to watch everyday. She was here for their breakfast every morning like clockwork and we knew Jet and Olive were in great hands. It's hard to find responsible people nowadays to do a job but Cristal did not disappoint! We will definitely use her again in the future. Our cats have a sitter for life! Thank you so much Rover for a great experience. And thank you Cristal for being Jet and Olive's new friend.❤️”
“Very responsible and personable. Will work with you on schedule and special requests. You can tell she loves animals. Would let her watch my cats anytime! Highly recommend!”
About: We provide a second family while you’re away. We take ONE furfamily at a time. Two or three families if all pups are familiar before their stay. Meet and greet preferred. Copy of up to date shots required. We’re happy to provide ours upon request. I am home all day minus taking my son to and from school and activities, never gone more than a few hours. I work from home as a registered nurse. My shifts are 2-4 hrs at a time so there is plenty of time to spoil and provide one on one time to make it feel like home. Dogs are NOT crated unless necessary or preferred by you. I have a few crates, depending on size. Preference is one the dog is already familiar with. Homemade frozen treats, fruits, and vegetables provided, please specify if you prefer no treats. You’re welcome to bring your own. We have a huge back yard (.5acre) and inside space available for those rainy days. When booking your stay please be aware paws get dirty, depending on your pets energy level we play and run hard! We rinse paws but do not provide baths. Drop off on first day before noon and pick up on the last day after noon will accrue half day charge. Plenty of long term, local references! Daily photo updates between 4-8pm, a visual day of the fur vacation. Check out our pictures to see our sleepover friends and fun! We've been lucky enough to have 5-6 frequent clients. Sadly some have passed or are in their elderly years where they're parents aren't traveling as much. Hoping to create some new clientele. If you've read this far, wow, you're awesome! Thank you ❤️😉 We love dogs and treat them like family. My boys can be loud and have little to no manners when it comes to barking so please excuse them when you arrive (even if they know you). They are my children and your dogs will be too. Their stay will be “just like home” to include going in and out 25 times a day 😉. To avoid accidents, I will not feed our animals together. My dogs are not aggressive in any way but being animals I believe it best to always be cautious. We live on a half acre with fenced in yard. All dogs are free roaming all day, they have their own gated off space when we leave. We have lots of space for play inside and out and plenty of places to rest in between.
About: I have a cat of my own that I have been taking care of since I was a child. I am a passionate cat person and have experience with administering medications. I also understand how to work with more difficult cats as I am a volunteer at the Humane Society and have worked with my fair share of cats that require extra love and attention.
“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.”
“Gracen was such a blessing. She had to deal with a medical situation for my pet and handled it calmly and professionally. She lelt the house as clean as when she got there. She communicated regularly. She sent pictures through out the time she was there.She was a delight!”
About: I enjoy caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll take the time to earn their trust and care for them at their own pace. I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, play with them, or simply keep them company. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Dolly and Dumplin’ look well nourished and happy! Thanks for cleaning up so well and collecting the mail and papers! I had cancelled the newspaper, so I don’t know why they delivered them??? Thanks again so much!”
“Emma did a dynamite job of handling our crew (a mild-mannered kitty, a standoffish Pom-Chi and a loveably dopy Boston Terrier). Her check-ins were prompt and like clockwork, which was nice and I appreciated the little things she just did out of kindness like closing our windows when it was raining and rolling our trashcan back up the driveway. She was able to score some pets from the Pom who makes you work for his approval and she was very kind despite knowing our home reeked from a recent skunk attack! She is very easy to work with and exudes kindness. I could tell upon first meeting her that she has a genuine love for animals, so she made me feel at ease during my first-ever use of this app.”
About: I have less experience caring for cats, I'm confident and comfortable with them. I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, spend time playing with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I'd want for my own.
About: I grew up with cats and have also had them for my entire adult life. I have experience with all types- everything from friendly, to skittish, to crazy ones! I also have experience with a broad age range- newborn kittens all the way to 20 year old senior cats.

“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: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another. on 07/27/2026 my Daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson will be living with me. If on your profile it doesn't show friendly with kids, I will reach out and see if having a 3 year old in the house will be in issue. I love animals and look forward to watching your fur babies.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. ***new info** We now have an outdoor pool with a doggy dock to help with entry and exit. The pool is available for any of my swimming pups, weather permitting. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
“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!”
“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.”
“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”
“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Pretty Girl had a wonderful time with Reah and her dogs. There was a large yard with high fencing, so I felt very comfortable that Pretty Girl was secure.

I would highly recommend Reah to anyone looking for a great place for your dog to stay.”

“Gabrielle is awesome! She met with us and met all of our dogs before accepting the job so she could understand their routine and get to know their personalities. She is extremely detailed. She walked and checked on our 11 week puppy Franklin and let him have play time with our other dogs. She took pictures and updated me on their walk. She really cares about your animals!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience raising and caring for two small dogs. During this time, I’ve taken primary responsibility for their daily walk routine, grooming, and overall well-being. • Daily Walkies & Leash Training: I led regular daily walks and practiced basic walk/leash training with one of my pups to build good walking habits and focus. • Home Grooming & Baths: I handle home grooming and bathing by myself. Because of my calm and patient approach, my dogs remain relaxed and cooperative during the process. • Health & Happiness Focus: I understand small dog behaviors, energy levels, and safety needs, ensuring every walk is fun, engaging, and safe.

Here is what makes me special: • Gentle & Calming Energy: Dogs naturally trust and relax around me. In fact, pups are so comfortable with me that I even groom my own dogs at home with ease! • Small & Medium Dog Specialist: I know how to cater to the unique energy, pace, and personality of smaller breeds. • Building Long-Term Trust: Rather than rushing between too many dogs, I prefer building deep, lasting relationships with a few furry friends so they feel completely safe and happy with me every time. Whether it's a brisk walk or lots of belly rubs, I promise to treat your dog like my very own. I'd love to meet you and your pup—feel free to reach out anytime! 🐶✨
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 look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me.

It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week.

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.

So I have no problem dealing with large dogs
“Caitlyn has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Xyena and has went above and beyond what we have asked! Xyena is super particular about who she is comfortable being around but she LOVES Caitlyn and never wants her to leave! I feel totally comfortable leaving our doggo with her. Thank you so much.”
About: 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 had multiple dogs in the past including one currently and have a lot of experience caring for them. I’ve cared for dogs for multiple years. If I am not home I have another household members that is able to take care of your pet as needed. Other than that I am able to be with the pets as much as possible. I am currently on summer vacation until I start college in the fall so, I will have tubs of free time. I have a fenced yard with one friendly pet to keep your pet company. I can crate your pet if needed, including my own if they do not get along. I’m currently in college and working part-time so when I am not home there are other household members there to make your pet is taken care of. I have a fenced hard in my home that I will usually let the dogs run around a play for a little bit through out the day.
“We had a great experience with Chelsea. She’s very reliable and sent us cute pics and videos of her walks with our German shepherd mix. While we were out of town, my elderly parents were home. They can let our dog out for potty breaks and feed her but they wouldn’t be able to handle a good, long walk. Not only did Chelsea take our dog for walks, she brought in packages and mail my parents had delivered and even dragged the garbage can back in after collection day. Above and beyond!!! If we ever need a dog walker or sitter we hope Chelsea will be available.”

“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Wren and Gracie loved their stay with Gabrielle and her husband! We were so glad to know they were safe and happy for the week we were gone. Will definitely board with them again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”
“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”
“Gloria was wonderful! She went above and beyond to care our puppy in every way. She was great about sending updates with photos, and I’m certain our pup had the best time while with her!”
“Viviana and her family have been so wonderful for our Boxer, Sierra! We truly feel like we are doing something special for our dog/sending her to dog camp when she stays there! We feel like she really loves Sierra and gives her so much love while we are gone! We could not recommend enough!! ❤️”
“My dog loves going to the “babysitter’s” house! She’s always well taken care of. Caleb has a great set up in his house and yard. His experience with animals is obvious.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our Harley with Jordyn and Marcus! They were so kind and welcoming, and our pup had a great time with them. Their home was nice, and the whole experience was convenient and stress-free. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be calling them again the next time we’re in Knoxville! Highly recommend!”
“We have an 18-week old lab puppy named Sully who just returned from his 4-night sleepover with Jessica and her family. Being new puppy parents we are very protective of our little guy, and did quite a bit of research on Rover for a care giver, which is what led us to Jessica. Jessica let us have a meet and greet with her and her boxer Tucker before Sully’s stay which really gave confidence to our decision. During Sully’s stay we got tons of pictures and videos of our little man playing in the yard with Tucker and the kids. Jessica and her family made Sully a part of their ‘pack’ during his stay. He had such a great time, and was shown so much love and attention that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us. We are so happy Sully found these new friends, and have already booked his stay for our next trip. It is so comforting knowing our Little Man is cared for with as much love and attention as we give him. Thank you Jessica and family!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Had such a great experience! Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and was so sweet. She treated our babies like her own and sent photo updates often. Would definitely recommend!”
