“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“Viviana is fantastic! She really went above and beyond to provide special attention and care to my nervous pup. By the time I went to pick my pup up, it seemed like she didn’t even want to leave! They sent so many updates, photos, videos, etc that I barely even had to miss my pup while she was staying with them too!”
“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous. Kristy sent us multiple updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to our shy girl. Star was skiddish at first, but by the end of the stay she bloomed into her playful, loving self! We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in 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!”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“We contacted Zach at the last minute for an urgent boarding request. He was immediately responsive and happy to help, we dropped the dogs off within an hour of contacting him. He took careful note of all the care instructions we gave him and was calm when we were frantic about our situation. He was flexible and was able to accommodate our need to adjust the pick up time. Our dogs were happy and calm when we picked them up. Our bigger dog loved playing with Zach’s dog while we were away, and as a picky eater we were pleased she ate both her meals while at Zach’s. Thank you so much Zach, our vacation savior!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”
“Sampson absolutely loves to go to Bethany's house. We are so thankful that we have somewhere for Sampson to go when we are out of town that we know is a safe place that he enjoys. Bethany is very flexible and easy to work with. She is truly the best dog sitter around.”
“Caitlin is an angel for taking care of my wild child. She was very communicative and super accommodating and I could not appreciate her more for taking my kiddo in last minute. Thank you!”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊”

“My pet has a terminal cancer and is an original smelly cat. Storm took good care of her and my two other cats. The house was in order on my return and my sick cat got dosed on schedule. I am thrilled with her service.”
“Zach was responsive, helpful, and laid back. It was great to be able to drop our cat off for a few hours so we could enjoy the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge and not have to worry.”
“I love how responsive Cara is. She always gets right back to me, is available and pleasant, and my shy kitty actually came out to see her! Looking forward to having her care for my kitties!”
“Janine was wonderful and super flexible to offer drop-in visits to our pups in our AirB&B while our family had a day exploring non dog-friendly trails. She sent plenty of pics and notes and the dogs were much happier when we returned.”
“Leslie agreed to meet the dogs before her first visit and is very understanding of their different needs. She gave them more time to play than I expected and was patient with my fearful dog. Thank you!”
“Jen is absolutely the BEST pet sitter ever!! She treated my kitties like royalty! She sent pictures every day and spoiled them rotten. Our cats barely noticed we were gone. We had great peace of mind knowing they were getting spoiled rotten by a person who genuinely loves pets. You can't go wrong with Jen!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
About: I adopted my cat, Pumpkin, from the animal shelter. She was very scared and timid at first, and it took a lot of patience waiting for her to get comfortable. Now, she’s traveled across the country with me and loves to cuddle! She isn’t declawed, so I can handle some playful, feisty kitties.
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our older kitty, Georgia Mae! She came to our home a bit early so that she could meet us and our Kitty. I was hesitant to have anyone watch our kitty, because yes, I’m an overprotective fur baby mama, and could not bring myself to put her in anyone’s care but my own. Let me tell you, letting go, and letting Kim take care of her was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Kim was so loving to Georgia Mae, she showed her caring and love of fur babies right away, and our Lil girl went right up to Kim in trust....great sign! I am already looking at other dates in the near future for Kim to again show her love for Georgia Mae, and sweet manner with myself and my husband. She is the best! Thank you Kim! Thank you Rover! We now have a wonderful new friend of our family!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for and grooming cats through my pet care background and business experience. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, grooming needs, medications if needed, and overall behavior changes, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“I was really worried when I had to find someone to care for my cat, Pippin, last minute but Ami was quick to respond and was an amazing help. And Pippin really seemed enjoyed the attention that she gave him.”
About: I have had cats since I was 8 but took my love of pets seriously at about 23 years old and have had at least two cats always since then! They are independent but need lots if love also!
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I love all animals and have experience with caring for multiple animals at once. I have a dog of my own and he loves other animals both cats and dogs and is very friendly. I can provide: • daily walks • dog park visits • playtime • meals • potty breaks I have trained my own dogs since puppy age. If training is needed please let me know. I have experience in giving medication if it is needed as well. I work full time in office. I do have decent flexibility with work and am able to come home for potty breaks. I usually can take a long lunch to at least walk my own dog for some time before returning, so there is no issue exercising the dog mid day. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park and plenty of neighborhoods to walk dogs around. There are many dog parks close by. The home is clean and we keep things out of reach of pets. If at any point I leave the apartment all doors to extra rooms are shut and I turn on some music or tv for some background noise while away.
About: When caring for cats, I pay close attention to their dietary needs, making sure each meal is served according to their specific preferences and any dietary restrictions. I am skilled at administering medications, including pills and liquid treatments, handling even the most finicky felines with gentleness and patience. Playtime is an essential part of my routine, using interactive toys and games to stimulate their minds and keep them active. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment by regularly scooping and refreshing litter boxes, ensuring a comfortable space for every cat in my care.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was little and I have volunteered with many animal shelters with walking dogs, feeding, and grooming for example. I do work full time so I can take your pet for walks on weekends and holidays from 6 am to 2 pm mostly on Saturdays and Sundays I will take your pet for potty breaks, walks, or just to stop in and love on them. If you have a cat I can always scoop the litter box or refill water

“Excellent dog sitter! Tracey watched Dexter while my family and I went to Gatlinburg for the day. She accommodated our schedule and was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Dexter was very cozy and enjoyed his stay!”
“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Tracy was AMAZING🌸🤍😊 great communication throughout the day and even a photo shoot of Ribby. Tracy was soo kind and even offered to feed Ribby chicken and rice for Ribby’s sensitive stomach. Tracy went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations! I wish we lived closer to her, so we could do more date days! Highly recommend!! Thank you Tracy! Love Ribby”

“Danita was so great with us and our dog Lady! It was the first time we were leaving her with a sitter at their house, and because of all the traumatic things Lady’s gone through in her past before being rehomed with us I am extra protective of her. I also have a lot of dog work experience so I was excited to see Danita’s profile and knew Lady would be in good hands. Danita sent us photos and updates during her daycare stay and made us feel so at ease. We will definitely be using her again for future daycare stays!!”
“I had a church event to attend, but my plans for my dog Gibbs didn't work out. I reached out to Ryan for last-minute daycare, and he responded within 15 minutes saying he could take care of him for the day. I dropped Gibbs off and felt very at ease knowing he was with Ryan. Throughout the day, I received seven updates and pictures showing how Gibbs was doing. When I picked him up, he seemed happy and had been well looked after. I'm planning to drop Gibbs off again in two days. This is the second occasion that Ryan and his family have taken care of my dog, Gibbs. When I got there to drop him off, Ryan came out to greet him, and Gibbs was thrilled to see him. Throughout the day, I received both pictures and a video showing the fun he was having with the family's dogs. I believe that Gibbs really enjoys his time with Ryan and his family. He always seems joyful when I come to pick him up. I can easily tell he has had an exciting day since he sleeps very soundly at night.”
“Sarah was AMAZING! She saved us on our trip to the smokies when we had nowhere to leave our 2 pups on the last day. She was super accommodating and best of all, our boys had the best time! If we’re in the area again, I would use Sarah again for sure knowing my babies are safe and happy too!”
“Gunner had the best time playing with his new friends! Michelle is an excellent communicator and very attentive to the various needs of dogs (and people). I loved the photos, captions, and video updates she sent throughout the day. Gunner was a happy, tired pup at pick-up! I definitely recommend Michelle and will use her service again when we return.”
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
“She’s awesome!! She provides you with pictures and videos all day! She accommodated my baby well because he had just gotten neutered. I’m definitely coming back to her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tabatha -- she was willing to watch our dog for the day on super short notice and was very accommodating for us. She has a fantastic yard that our dog loved playing in. Our 2 y/o Aussie came back to us tired out, which is not an easy feat -- he had such a great time. Highly recommended!”
“Stephanie was very accommodating to our needs, she is very friendly and personable. Her yard is fenced in and let’s your dog have plenty of room to run around. She will take great care of your furry kids.”
About: I’m a natural dog lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I’ve had four Great Danes as part of my family, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds and understanding their unique personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has always come naturally to me, and I have a strong nurturing instinct that makes caring for animals feel effortless and rewarding. I am very free this summer for June and July. My schedule is very flexible as I am a teacher and I'm not working right now. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I live in a large house with plenty of space and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, relax, and explore safely. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, and there’s no better way to enjoy that time than with a pet by my side. I’m attentive, nurturing, and committed to making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and part of the family while they’re with me.
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”
“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”

“Megan was amazing with Benji! She really cared and Benji warmed up to her right away. While we were gone, she kept us updated with check-ins and photos. It was clear that Benji had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and was well cared for by Megan and her family. She is reliable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs. I’d definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pup!”

“Cara did a great job taking care of our Buddy. She kept us updated on her arrival and departure. Pictures during the walks and quiet playtime. Buddy was happy to see her on both days. I would definitely use Cata again.”
About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old. Most of the family animals have had health issues that has taught me how to administer medication, give baths, clip nails, and more. Cat and dog friendly! I am available everyday of the week except Sunday 11am-11pm! I can also stay in home over nights upon request. Sundays reserved for sittings only. I currently have two cats who are very shy so I do not offer over night stays in my own home. However, I am more than happy to do over nights in the clients home. I have experience administering medicine by pill & injection. I also have experience in nail clipping & bathing of both dogs and cats. I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!
“We are so very pleased and thankful for Christina! She was available on such short notice for multiple random visits and very dependable. We have one dog who is apprehensive of new people and was a bit difficult. Christina handled our babies with the utmost care. We would certainly use her again!”
“Sydney did a great job of taking care of my pup, Mickey, while we were on vacation in Sevierville, May 8 -13, 2026. Sydney was good with Mickey and very reliable. She regularly drove Mickey to Patriot Park for walks. She even took care of Mickey on Mother's Day, which allowed my family and me to spend the day worry-free at Anakeesta Adventure Park. I hope Sydney's available again next year!”
“Jennifer “Grace” was amazing!! We had a last minute event pop up & requested her dog walking services and she was able to accommodate us on super short notice. She was extremely responsive, timely & sent us plenty of photos of our pup while he was in her care. We would definitely recommend!”
About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: I am older. I have lots of life experience with my furbabies and know how important they are. I want to love your babies just like you do! I would like to do this during the weekend as I work full time during the week. Some days during the week may be adjusted, but not often. We live on 10 acres and way off the road so they love roaming the countryside with us! It is a join to watch them play
About: I have taken care of dogs in many sizes. From having a 6lb Pomeranian to having a 130lb chocolate lab! I can walk, feed and entertain pets of all kinds. I am able to administer medication to dogs, and ensure they receive the treatment needed. I work during the week full time but I am available in the afternoons on Friday and all day on Saturdays/Sundays. My schedule follows the school system calendar therefore, I have many breaks in between. I have the months of June/July off and am available all day those days. I will make sure all requests are fulfilled and that all pets are happy and healthy. I understand how precious pets are and will ensure that they are well taken care of. I will send pictures and videos throughout my visit reassuring you that your pet is in good hands. My dogs are my family and I couldn’t imagine treating them as anything less.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs for a couple years and watch my friends pets when needed. Would love to help with everyone else and make sure that the animals are taken care of! I am available almost every day all day besides the job I work at night! I make sure everyday to give my dog some exercise and play with her before I head off to my job. She gets fed twice a day and I also work with my dog daily to train her. I have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe and still go out and have some playtime. I have one friendly small dog who loves to play and would keep the others company.

“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“Viviana is fantastic! She really went above and beyond to provide special attention and care to my nervous pup. By the time I went to pick my pup up, it seemed like she didn’t even want to leave! They sent so many updates, photos, videos, etc that I barely even had to miss my pup while she was staying with them too!”
“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous. Kristy sent us multiple updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to our shy girl. Star was skiddish at first, but by the end of the stay she bloomed into her playful, loving self! We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in 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!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“We contacted Zach at the last minute for an urgent boarding request. He was immediately responsive and happy to help, we dropped the dogs off within an hour of contacting him. He took careful note of all the care instructions we gave him and was calm when we were frantic about our situation. He was flexible and was able to accommodate our need to adjust the pick up time. Our dogs were happy and calm when we picked them up. Our bigger dog loved playing with Zach’s dog while we were away, and as a picky eater we were pleased she ate both her meals while at Zach’s. Thank you so much Zach, our vacation savior!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Sampson absolutely loves to go to Bethany's house. We are so thankful that we have somewhere for Sampson to go when we are out of town that we know is a safe place that he enjoys. Bethany is very flexible and easy to work with. She is truly the best dog sitter around.”
“Caitlin is an angel for taking care of my wild child. She was very communicative and super accommodating and I could not appreciate her more for taking my kiddo in last minute. Thank you!”
“On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊”
“We really appreciate Joseph taking care of Teddy. Teddy didn't want to leave when we picked him up. Its always hard to leave your pet but Joseph made us feel at ease instantly.”
“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!”
“Tami was amazing with Maple. She was so welcoming, sent us daily updates and was just more than we could have asked for. We actually ended up having car trouble on the way to pick up Maple and she kept her while we were at the mechanic get our van fixed. Would highly recommend”
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.
