“We left our dog with Viviana for 21 days without a shorter "trial" stay because she projected such a good feeling of caring, trustworthiness and responsibility. While we were gone she sent us pictures of our dog daily...playing, interacting with other dogs, etc. She also gave us "reports" along the way. She has a good method of introducing a new dog to her dog, and whatever other dogs she is caring for at the moment....this insures that everybody gets along, no dominance issues, no fighting etc. Viviana home and yard is an excellent, safe and concerned place to leave your dog. We will be trusting her with our dog again on a multi-week trip in 2022.”
“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!”
“Joan took amazing care of our dog! She sent updates and pictures regularly. Especially with the July 4th holiday (fireworks) she let us know how he was feeling, which gave us peace of mind :)”
“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.”
“Cassandra and her family absolutely put my mind at ease over leaving my two tiny dogs for the weekend for the first time. She kept them on their schedule, the whole family gave them tons of attention, and I received an abundance of photos and videos. We will use her services again on our next trip.”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy again!”
“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“Ashley was amazing! Our dog loved her and her pups. She did a great job sending pictures and we knew our dog was in great hands! Highly recommend Ashley! This was our first experience with Rover and she was wonderful!”
“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Stephanie was the perfect Rover for our senior dog. She has a very calming environment and is very flexible on accomidations for your pet. We were very pleased with her care and so was our dog Nickoli. He was happy and healthy when we picket him up and Stephanie will give you any updates you feel comfortable with during your pets stay including pictures. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and can highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Ashley was flexible with drop off/pickup time frames and communicated quickly. I’m always anxious leaving my pup behind but felt comfortable and confident leaving her in Ashley’s care. I would have preferred more pics during the stay but I understand sometimes it could be forgotten.”
“Thank you Ann for taking such good care of our girl Bailey. She looked so relaxed and contented in all the pics you sent. Will definitely remember you for future trips.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“Our pet was treated like one of the family! I was sent photos daily and had absolutely no concerns about how my dog was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again!”
“We brought our girls on a Tennessee road trip from Texas, and April watched them while we spent a few days in the Pigeon Forge area. She has an amazing setup for dog-sitting. Your pups will be safe and loved while you are away.”
“Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!”
“Mary is absolutely a fantastic dog watcher! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dog Gia. She was very easy to contact and provided daily updates. Highly recommend!”

“Gidget was great about being on time every visit. Reggie became very friendly very quickly with her after I went on a work trip. She openly communicated with me about questions regarding his care and even brought in some packages for me.”
About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“Sarah is truly a lover of animals who is LOVED by animals. She is also a gifted photographer. I saw my cats flourish in her care through her photos that she sent me as often as I wanted!!! My two shy boys really came out of their shell with Sarah. And the two affectionate cats sought for her attention every chance they could! It was a gift to receive photos of my pets during her stay & their experiences together. Sarah is a wonderful communicator too. She is just a text away. If you are worried about your pets getting quality care, Sarah is the one for you!! She ensures they get all the love, food, meds they need.”
About: I’ve cared for cats for family, friends, and neighbors and am comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection.

I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”
“Gretchen is the BEST!!! I know that when I leave, she will always take excellent care of my cat! He absolutely loves her and he doesn’t love just anyone. 10/10. Will always book with Gretchen!!”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask!

I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
About: As a former teacher, I’m used to creating routines, following specific instructions, and making sure each individual feels safe and supported.

I’m happy to drop in while you’re at work, on vacation, or any time you need I provide dependable, loving care while following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.

I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention.

Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.
“Great, super easy to work with sitter! She accepted my booking even though drop off was only 12 hours away which was so helpful after another sitter last minute canceled. She also let me change the pickup time last minute which was so appreciated! She sent pics and played with Mo and was just a super easy and great experience! 10/10 recommend for sure! Very nice home and nice neighborhood and just overall great experience!”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”
“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.”
“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”

I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.

About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old.

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 love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for all types of pets combined with a highly personalized and attentive approach to care. I treat every pet as if they were my own — learning their unique personality, preferences, and routine so they feel comfortable and happy right away. Above all, I’m deeply committed to building trust with both the owner and the pet. Previous clients often mention how relaxed and joyful their pets are when they return home — that kind of feedback means everything to me. Pet care is something I look forward to and easily weave into my daily life. I’m usually up early and start the day with some morning outside time and porch lounging. Being home during the day allows for me to provide regular potty breaks, play sessions, and companionship. Evenings are relaxed with dinner, ample outside time, and plenty of snuggle or training time. Combined with my own pets and also sitting for friends and family for years now, I have gained experience in many pet types and also experience caring for all stages of life-energetic pups to older dogs with special needs. This has taught me how to stay flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual routine, needs, and personality. I genuinely enjoy the responsibility and rhythm of pet care and would communicate regularly with you to make sure your see that your pet feels right at home. My goal is to keep you pet happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine while you are away- no matter the type of pet or they’re stage in life. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets in my home. I start by learning their normal routine from the owner and do my best to keep it consistent. This means pity breaks matching your normal, fresh water always available, and meals served on their regular schedule with any needed medications. During the day I make sure they get plenty of playtime — whether that’s friend fun in my backyard with my two pups, play with their favorite toys, or gentle training sessions. I also give lots of affection and quiet companionship so they don’t feel lonely. At night, I provide a comfortable sleeping area (crate if preferred) or free range indoors to pick their own comfy place and I always do a final potty break before bed. My home is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of hazards. I’ve cared for several friends’ and family dogs overnight and for extended stays, including high-energy young dogs to calmer senior pups and even stage in between. I send regular updates and photos if desired so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

The other four days I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings. The three days I work, I am available after 7 pm. Every cat that I have had, I strictly keep indoors for safety purposes. Water and food is always available along with clean cat litter and cozy spaces for my cat to snuggle. My dogs, are inside and crated when I am not home. They have comfy beds, water and food. They are active with swimming, running and tagging along when I am outdoors.
“We’re so happy we found Emma! She and Walter connected easily and he is so excited when she picks him up for a walk! Emma was familiar with the Doggy Dan strategies we have in place and does a great job using them with Walter. She also sends the best pics!”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life and have been a go-to pet sitter for friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues for several years. I have two sweet cats of my own (Ben & Jerry) and one lovable pup (Maggie), so I truly understand how much your furry family members mean to you. Whether it's boarding, drop in visits, or simply taking your fur babies for a walk, I treat every pet like they're my own - with lots of love, attention, and care. I’m experienced with a variety of temperaments and routines, and I know how important consistency and comfort are for pets, especially while you're away. I’m also happy to provide myriad updates and photos, so you can feel totally at ease knowing your pet is safe and happy. Let me know what your pet needs to feel at home - I’ve got you covered! I work Monday through Thursday from 3pm to 11 pm and 9am to 3pm on Fridays and alternating Saturdays and Sundays. I may need to stay over at work on rare occasions, but I always ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve before and after my work day. I am happy to follow any and all instructions provided whether it be walking, feeding, or simply visiting with your pets. I have experience caring for multiple dogs and cats at a time or both dogs and cats in the same household. I have one large dog and two cats of my own and am very accustomed to the routines of any and all pets.

“We left our dog with Viviana for 21 days without a shorter "trial" stay because she projected such a good feeling of caring, trustworthiness and responsibility. While we were gone she sent us pictures of our dog daily...playing, interacting with other dogs, etc. She also gave us "reports" along the way. She has a good method of introducing a new dog to her dog, and whatever other dogs she is caring for at the moment....this insures that everybody gets along, no dominance issues, no fighting etc. Viviana home and yard is an excellent, safe and concerned place to leave your dog. We will be trusting her with our dog again on a multi-week trip in 2022.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy again!”
“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Stephanie was the perfect Rover for our senior dog. She has a very calming environment and is very flexible on accomidations for your pet. We were very pleased with her care and so was our dog Nickoli. He was happy and healthy when we picket him up and Stephanie will give you any updates you feel comfortable with during your pets stay including pictures. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and can highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Ashley was flexible with drop off/pickup time frames and communicated quickly. I’m always anxious leaving my pup behind but felt comfortable and confident leaving her in Ashley’s care. I would have preferred more pics during the stay but I understand sometimes it could be forgotten.”
“Thank you Ann for taking such good care of our girl Bailey. She looked so relaxed and contented in all the pics you sent. Will definitely remember you for future trips.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“We brought our girls on a Tennessee road trip from Texas, and April watched them while we spent a few days in the Pigeon Forge area. She has an amazing setup for dog-sitting. Your pups will be safe and loved while you are away.”
“Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
“Erin was very kind and amazing with our high energy dog, Kora. She was super accommodating with a quick meet and greet, and sent lots of pictures while she watched Kora. Definitely booking with her in the future!”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“Tabatha (& her whole family, of course) was great; Gracious to me when I dropped Dooley off and picked him up, Responsive to Dooley, Engaging with me as well as with Dooley, Attentive to Dooley’s feeding, water & play time, and Timely in communicating with me when I texted or called. G.R.E.A.T! I’d definitely use her again. This was my first experience with Rover. I’ll be back.”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
