“Carla and her dog Pepper were the absolute best! She was able to accommodate us last minute for a one night stay and I’m so happy it worked out. I normally like to do a meet and greet first but time just didn’t allow for one. When I dropped him off though I felt super comfortable seeing as how happy her dog Pepper was. I knew my Bentley would be in good hands. She sent picture updates throughout his visit - my favorite thing. I would recommend and would definitely feel comfortable bringing my dog back here.”
“Matt, Candice & family cared for Sam & Roxy like they were their own. A blessing to be able to enjoy our time away and know that our doggos got TLC in a loving home.”
“This was our puppies first time staying overnight withMelissa. She was there three nights. Everything went well. Melissa was great as usual and sent us pictures and video of Maya while we were away. So grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“My family planned a last minute trip and we were scrambling to find somewhere safe for our dog Ellie to stay. Victoria and her kiddos made us feel completely comfortable leaving her with them. We were welcomed with open arms and Ellie was well taken care of. She played so hard that she slept for two days solid after we picked her up.”
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
“The best decision I ever made was finding Bailie to give care to my service dog Marley. She is truly the best dog sitter and such a genuinely kind person. Her place is incredible and she sends the most comforting updates. Marley got to go on many adventures and she has the coolest little house off to the side for the dogs and it is like a spa. She even gave Marley a little haircut and bath before I picked her up. I would never have been able to leave my Marley girl for a month if it were not for Bailie's amazing care giving and comfort. You will not regret booking with her. I will always be booking with Bailie anytime I need someone to watch Marley.”
“As always Mrs Karri was so wonderful!!! Tank loves staying with Mrs Karri and playing with the other puppies. As long as she will continue to let him stay we will always book her ”
“Our pup Lucky had a blast. We had complete peace of mind while Lucky was with Carrie, her family, and pack. The yard is fenced, he made a friend, and is allowed to lay on the couch when relaxing. He also got great healthy food as a bonus, which I can only imagine how much he loved. I strongly recommend considering Carrie for sitting and plan to let Lucky return to see his new friends again.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“Miss Birdie loves staying with Christy and we can always rest easy knowing she’s being well cared for while enjoying the extra touches Christy provides… the bougie doggie room and the fenced in yard. The pictures and videos Christy sends daily are just icing on the cake!”
“Michelle and her family took such great care of my nervous pup. They made him feel really comfortable and sent great updates. I would feel confident leaving Chance in their care in the future!”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“Huri has been the best with my Addie Mae! She has been great at updating me and sending me photo updates! And she helped me out and gave her a bath! I’m so thankful I found someone that Addie and I love and I feel so much better having to leave her when I know how happy and well taken care of she is!”

About: I’v taken care of dogs since I was old enough to be responsible for them, around age 12. I was in charge of feeding our family dogs, walking them, and exercising them through intentional playtime. We had 3 dogs then, and now we own two. I enjoy going on long walks and hikes, and often take my dogs on hikes. I also enjoy a casual run, and I am happy to take dogs on runs as well! I just graduated from college, and I have a couple weeks available until I begin my job. I will start working as a Firefighter for the Franklin fire department on June 8. Once that starts, I will be available on most weekends and evenings to care for your pet! I am happy to walk or run your pet! I also offer pet-sitting. As a responsible student, with several years of families trusting me with babysitting, I can give you confidence that your home and pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
About: Having worked in a vets office, I am very comfortable with cats who need some extra care. I love taking care of cats who need medication, special diets, extra attention, are shy, etc. And, of course, I love all the Garfield’s too who are just plain old happy kitties!!
“Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.
“Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)”
“We had an emergency situation a messaged Austin. He dropped everything Christmas Day and went to our house to feed, water and check on our fur babies. He sent updates and pictures every day and was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend Austin with the highest rating.”
“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”
“Riley was great! She responded very quickly, and our cat Thomas loved her immediately. This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Would book again!”
About: As a cat parent, I know how important your babies are. My cats are eight (and still babies, of course!). I've sat for cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. It can be scary when their usual beloved human servant isn't around, and I know how to connect with them in ways they can understand and appreciate to make those times feel more like home.
About: I have worked with newborn to senior pets since I was five years old, and I am a very active person that enjoys playing with furry friends. I plan on working in healthcare in the future so I prioritize caretaking. I am taking one online college course during the summer and I am a part-time tutor so I will have a lot of free time this summer for pet sitting! In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, and lots of love and attention. I keep routines consistent and follow any instructions you provide. In your home, I will respect your space, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they feel secure in their own environment. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!
About: We grew up with cats and pet sitting. We have rescued, fostered and cared for many cats throughout the years. Currently, our cat just turned 17 and requires multiple medications twice a day. My husband and I are able to provide any care your cat may need, including administering medications.
About: I've had the opportunity to get to know and care for pets since I was fifteen! Throughout the years, I've cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and myself, gaining experience with furry friends of all shapes and sizes—from Maltipoms and Great Pyrenees to cats with very different personalities and needs. As a cat mom to two young Russian Blue mixes, I've learned that every pet is unique. I have direct experience with kittens, puppies, medication administration, and specialized feeding routines. I've also learned that while some pets welcome new friends right away, others prefer to keep their distance and build trust more slowly—and I will always respect their boundaries and comfort levels. Whether your pet is big or small, shy or social, low-maintenance or in need of a little extra care, I'd love the opportunity to provide them with safe, reliable, and loving care while you're away! I'm currently working 30 hours per week at my daytime job, but will have plenty of time to check in on your pets outside of those hours. For check-ins, I'm available between 6:00 am - 8:00 am & 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm on all weekdays. Saturdays, I am available at any time. Sundays, I am available from 12:00 pm - 11:00 pm. Safety is always my top priority. When entering and exiting a home, I make sure doors, gates, and entryways are secure to prevent pets from accidentally getting outside. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I pay close attention to their body language and boundaries. Whether they want lots of attention or prefer their space, I will always respect what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all feeding and medication instructions, double-check amounts and dosages, ensure fresh water is available, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hi, I'm Abby! I'm a veterinary technician with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs medication, extra attention, or just lots of love and playtime, they're in great hands with me. I treat every pet like my own and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away!
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for over 20 years and worked professionally as a pet sitter before I started my family. I believe our pets deserve our absolute best and its my pleasure to help you give your doggie the time and attention you want them to have. I have a huge backyard that’s perfect for safely exploring and playing fetch. I’m home full time so there is never any worry of your dog being left alone for more than an hour a day. I approach animals with the same love and respect I do my own friends and family. I look forward to meeting you and you fur baby and become fast friends! I’m a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. We spend most of our days at home, and if we are out of the house it’s very easy to accommodate pet clients and make sure they are getting plenty of exercise and attention. All of my clients receive the same love and care that I give to my own pets. Our home is a peaceful environment, free of clutter so there is plenty of space to accommodate all dog breeds. Our large yard is perfect for romping around or playing fetch. We are home most of the time so your dog has company for most, if not all, of the day.
“Lonie took great care of my three cats, even the feral one and the black one who hid under the bed the whole time. Its not a small house and she traversed all floors,sometimes without knowing where to turn on the lights. She took out the garbage, visited twice everyday, and was willing to put my grocery delivery in the fridge. All without a single complaint. She's amazing and she will be my everytime pet sitter!”

“Such a really nice couple who cared so well for our German Shepard!!! Maverick came home super happy and exhausted! We will definitely be using them in the future!!!”
About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
About: Dogs have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my experience extends beyond Rover through years of caring for family and friends pets. I have experience with puppies, seniors, dogs with medical needs and a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have two dogs of my own who are complete opposites, one is a high energy working breed and the other is happiest relaxing on the couch. Caring for both has taught me that every dog has different needs and deserves an individualized approach. High energy dogs are absolutely welcome here and will have plenty of opportunities for both physical exercise and mental stimulation throughout their stay. Pet care is already built into my daily routine. I work from home from 8-4, which allows me to be available all throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, exercise, and attention as needed. I believe it’s far more important to adapt to a dog’s lifestyle rather than to force them to adapt to mine. If your dog has a specific routine, I am happy to maintain it during their stay. Safety is my highest priority when caring for each dog. I introduce dogs carefully if they have not already met, I monitor their interactions closely, and never leave dogs together unsupervised. If for some reason dogs are not a good match, I am comfortable keeping them separated and rotating them as needed so everyone gets the exercise, individual attention, and comfort they need. All dogs are fed separately in different rooms, and I intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept at one time so I can provide appropriate supervision. My home has a fenced in yard, baby gates, crates, and multiple areas where dogs can safely relax or decompress. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions.
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”

About: Hi I I'm Lexi and I’m completely OBSESSED with animals. I personally own a dog, 2 cats, a python and a bearded dragon. If I could convince my husband to allow me to have 2 to 7 more animals, I’d be the happiest girl in the world :) Rover allows me to have hundreds of fur babies, even if it’s temporary and that’s why I offer boarding, drop in visits and doggy day camp! I've worked at a pet grooming/boarding facility called Pet Plaza so I have experience with many different breeds and many different breed personalities. I also managed a dog boarding/daycare/grooming facility for the past 2 years. I’ve been a part-time Rover sitter for almost 10 years but I’ve recently made a career change and decided to prioritize Rover as my full-time job.

About: I am a passionate animals lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals, boarding facilities and animald ERs. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments and am comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats when needed. I currently work from home with the flexibility to do other things through out my day. I choose to fill that or my free time taking care of animals! I have a fenced yard and a clean safe home for your pets to play, roam, feel safe and comfortable. I no longer have pets of my own.
About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.
“Angie always takes such good care of Lulu. She sends pictures and is extremely communicative and accommodating with last minute requests when able and with things like flight delays affecting pick-ups.”
“Megan is a gem, from the moment I contacted her to care for my dog she was nothing but kind and professional. She provided great updates throughout his stay and I felt my fur baby was in good hands. Its clear she cares for animals. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Bruno had his rabies booster, and he needed to be taking care and rest. Kaitlyn was so kind and let him sleep on her bed! I got pictures (good quality photos) and she answer my questions when I texted her.”
“Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and giving cats both oral medications and injections (insulin). I work a hybrid schedule so my days are super flexible! I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care of my older "puppy" Grover who spent the day being cared for. I always know that he's in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook when needed.”

About: I’ve worked in a vet's office and taken care of pretty much all animals over the years. I grew up showing horses competitively on a small farm with chickens, ducks, cattle, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and cats. Since then I’ve owned and cared for miniature donkeys, standard poodles, Weimeraners, Dalmatians, cats, and chickens. As long as it’s not a reptile, I’m game. I love those who need something extra that your normal pet sitter may not be comfortable with - and I also love all the others who don’t need anything special! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can work around pretty much whatever you need. One thing’s for sure - I will be honest with you. If I can’t do it, I will tell you. I will come to your home and care for your pets just as you do! I don’t need a pre-visit (unless you would like that) - you can show me by FaceTime or you can leave me a note. I am also more than happy to have a pre-visit! I like to communicate with you while you’re away so you know how things are going at home.
About: I currently work full time but from the comfort of my own home. I always stress about finding a reliable sitter when I am away and thought why not help relieve that stress for other pet parents. I worked at a boarding facility as an operational manager for 2 years and have experience with all types of pups, including providing medications, special diets, etc. I also have two pups of my own and one has liver complications and the other one has entered old age, so fully understand the importance of care. They are my world. I value creating an environment that suites all fur babies. If yours needs a space of their own, I can make that happen in my home. I have tons of space and am happy to make sure your fur babies are comfortable. I have two dedicated adult bedrooms I use for boarding. Pets well have a warm bed and area that is all theirs. Of course they well have full access to the entire house but I all pups need their own space. I have a fenced yard with a tall privacy fence so potty breaks are secure and will be fully supervised. I want all pups comfortable. I can offer walks throughout the day for additional charge. My time is very flexible. I create my own schedule at my job so I can make anything happen with proper notice. I’m open to help whenever and wherever. I have two friendly pups who love other dogs. I have been trained in dog behavior and feel confident to know when a dog needs a break, uncomfortable, etc.. I’m quick to react and pay attention at all times.
About: I have been a lifelong dog owner, caring for multiple breeds including dachshunds, chocolate lab, beagle mixes, Doberman, Rhodesian ridgeback mix, and mini schnauzer. I have hands-on experience providing end-of-life care for a senior dog with osteosarcoma, demonstrating compassion and patience in difficult situations. Currently, I care for a 5-year-old neutered Doberman and an 8-year-old spayed Mini Schnauzer. My work-from-home schedule allows me a flexible schedule for your pet’s supervision. This deep personal experience, combined with my flexible availability ensures professional and cozy care tailored to each dog's needs. Since I work from home, taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my day. I’m able to check in on them frequently and give them plenty of breaks and playtime. I make sure they get regular exercise and lots of affection between work tasks. Because I’m home almost 24/7, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit each dog’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. I ensure that all dogs are treated with love and respect. Letting them know they’re safe and that everything is okay while their humans are away is of utmost importance to me.
About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.

About: I have worked with newborn to senior pets since I was five years old, and I am a very active person that enjoys playing with furry friends. I plan on working in healthcare in the future so I prioritize caretaking. I am taking one online college course during the summer and I am a part-time tutor so I will have a lot of free time this summer for pet sitting! In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, and lots of love and attention. I keep routines consistent and follow any instructions you provide. In your home, I will respect your space, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they feel secure in their own environment. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!
“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary medical technician who has worked in the field for 7+ years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and always have the pet’s best interest at heart. I will treat yours like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom and available anytime most days (babies stay at grandparents while I sit). I am not available at the following times: Tuesdays from 9:30-11/Wednesdays from 11:30-3:00. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home as this typically aids in minimizing the discomfort an animal feels without their owner. I provide up to 4 visits per day.
“Shannon is great, responsive, timely and kind. She made time to meet my baby and was patient with her. If they had more time together they would have been besties. Unfortunately our schedules didn’t out for weekly walks. However she still took time out of her day when I needed her to come and walk her. I was very grateful for that. I highly recommend Shannon, she will take great care of your babies.”
About: I understand how important it is to find the best pet sitter; someone who will love your pets like their own and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. I would love the opportunity to be that sitter for you! I have been pet sitting for 20 years. I’ve volunteered with multiple dog rescues and have rescues of my own. Currently, we have a senior pup, Princess, a senior cat, Winnie, a little hedgehog, Mr Nibbles, and tons of fish. I am a mom to an 8 year old daughter, who has shared the same love for animals of all kinds since she was little. I am experienced in working with animals of all breeds and ages; specializing in dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, horses and more. I am able to provide daily walks / hikes, administer medications and provide personalized care based on your pet’s specific needs. Whatever your sweet pets may need, I am happy to accommodate that and can assure you that they will be very well taken care of, safe and loved while you are away! References and letters of recommendation available upon request. My job is providing the best childcare and pet care. My schedule is often flexible and allows me plenty of time to provide excellent care for all clients. We live in a safe home and neighborhood in TN.

Whether it’s a cuddly cat, or energetic dog, I tailor the approach to suit their unique needs, providing you with peace of mind while you’re away. As the owner of a 3 year old rambunctious goldendoodle and a kitty myself I make sure to treat your furry friends as my own. After all, your pets aren’t just animals – they’re cherished family members, and their happiness and well-being are my top priority. I’m currently working full time, however I have every Saturday,Sunday, and Monday off. I have open availability all 3 days. I could also possibly be available week nights if a drop in is needed. I also have open availability for house sitting including week nights upon request. As a pet owner myself to a goldendoodle and 3 cats I prefer to watch clients pets in their own home. I find that pets tend to tolerate a familiar setting, especially in possible stressful situations like their owner being away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds since I was 11. I have worked with senior dogs, puppies, and all the ages in between. I have 3 dogs of my own, as well as a gecko and fish. I have also worked with ducks/birds. I have worked with cats as well and love all of them!! I will be going into my freshman year of college at Lipscomb University, so I will have a lot of free time to see any and all animals! I always follow every rule provided about your animal. I know the importance of routine, comfort, and stability. I will ensure each pet gets the adequate exercise, food, and love desired by the owner.
About: I love animals, I have since as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in an animal household so understanding animals, communicating with them, and tending to them has become second nature. I have pet sat and helped handle animals at the Nashville Zoo as a volunteer during my high school years and have watched over friends, family, and neighbors animals for around a decade now. I know how important family is and how pets are family that just so happens to walk on four legs for all of their lives instead of just their infant years. I am currently on staff at my church right now as outreach and ministry team so my times I am unavailable are Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's after 5:00pm. I go to church on Sunday mornings but I can always watch virtually so I can tend to pets overnight. I care for animals as I would care for myself I believe in all life is precious and that any life created is family to me which most certainly includes pets. My approach comes from being gentle, reacting/reading body language, minding my emotions and actions because animals are sensitive to those, and just showering them with love the way THEY want to receive it not how I want to give it. It is their comfort and wellbeing over mine and I will do everything in my power to ensure a healthy environment for everybody's animals.

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.

“Matt, Candice & family cared for Sam & Roxy like they were their own. A blessing to be able to enjoy our time away and know that our doggos got TLC in a loving home.”
“My family planned a last minute trip and we were scrambling to find somewhere safe for our dog Ellie to stay. Victoria and her kiddos made us feel completely comfortable leaving her with them. We were welcomed with open arms and Ellie was well taken care of. She played so hard that she slept for two days solid after we picked her up.”
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
“The best decision I ever made was finding Bailie to give care to my service dog Marley. She is truly the best dog sitter and such a genuinely kind person. Her place is incredible and she sends the most comforting updates. Marley got to go on many adventures and she has the coolest little house off to the side for the dogs and it is like a spa. She even gave Marley a little haircut and bath before I picked her up. I would never have been able to leave my Marley girl for a month if it were not for Bailie's amazing care giving and comfort. You will not regret booking with her. I will always be booking with Bailie anytime I need someone to watch Marley.”
“Our pup Lucky had a blast. We had complete peace of mind while Lucky was with Carrie, her family, and pack. The yard is fenced, he made a friend, and is allowed to lay on the couch when relaxing. He also got great healthy food as a bonus, which I can only imagine how much he loved. I strongly recommend considering Carrie for sitting and plan to let Lucky return to see his new friends again.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Miss Birdie loves staying with Christy and we can always rest easy knowing she’s being well cared for while enjoying the extra touches Christy provides… the bougie doggie room and the fenced in yard. The pictures and videos Christy sends daily are just icing on the cake!”
“Michelle and her family took such great care of my nervous pup. They made him feel really comfortable and sent great updates. I would feel confident leaving Chance in their care in the future!”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“I am very thankful for Christopher. He was available last minute to dogsit my baby Bruno. He also had a dog himself that my dog could play with and when I picked him up I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and had a good time. He also was very communicative during the stay and provided updates with pictures. Thank you very much for taking care of my baby and providing him a good experience. I Would definitely use him again and I 100% recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thank you again Christopher!!”
“We have had the same sitter for our girls for 3 years, when she told us she would no longer be dog sitting we starting looking for another one. We did meet and greets with several and then our girls met Lexi and we knew she was the one. She kept them the holiday weekend and we can’t be happier with her. She kept us up to date with photos and videos throughout the stay. We will definitely be using her again and again!”
About: Hello! My name is Karen and I've been an avid and passionate animal lover my entire life. I have over 20 years of dog fostering experience with Big Fluffy Fog Rescue, and currently have two of my own dogs and three horses at home. I would love to let your pup join our little pack! I offer a private climate controlled area for your dog(s) to feel safe and relaxed. Crating is available, but some of my more mature canine friends prefer a nice dog bed and cot if they so choose. The space includes direct access to a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunity for outside! I am a full time remote employee, so I am here all the time. We have potty breaks as needed, with tons of supervised outside time! I offer a private inclusive area for friends, as well as lots of outside time with or without canine friends! There are cats and horses so if your friend has a high prey drive this wouldn't be the best place.
“Angie has a pure love of dogs and cared for my Champ like he was her own. Champ had ample time to play and be free in the huge fenced-in yard and I received lots of updates and photos from his stay with Angie. Thanks Angie for taking care of my Champ.”
“Emmett was wonderful to our big boy, Kane! Kane came back happy and healthy. I really appreciated the updates and pictures that Emmett sent through out the week. We will definitely use him again. Thank you!”
“Amanda was amazing! She took care of our dogs as if they were her own. Lots of play time, walks, and trips to the park! We loved our daily updates of photos so we knew they were doing well. Our dogs got along great with her dogs!”
