“I can't say enough great things about Huri. We left our one-year-old baby with her for about 12 days, and she was so well taken care of. In fact, we weren't sure our pup would want to come home! Huri gave her so much love and fun. She was great about communicating, sent photos/videos daily, and followed our requests exactly. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend partnering with Huri.”
“Bailie took great care of our kitten, Shortbread! She sent us great picture updates everyday, and he seemed well taken care of when we picked him up. Thanks Bailie!”
“Christopher was Great!! I reached out last minute to see if he could keep my 2yo Catahoula, and he immediately responded and was available. He kept me updated with texts and pictures of how she was doing, and she was worn out and happy when I picked her back up! Would definitely book again!”
“Lorie is the best! Our dog loves her, gets so excited when we pull in. She gives him so much love, lives in a very dog friendly house and has many places for him to snuggle up. Lorie sends daily photos and updates and is very responsive.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Sarah and Kevin took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention given, it was clear our pet was in great hands. They followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our furry friend felt comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Sarah and Kevin for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”
“Abigail was so sweet with my puppy, trying to understand what the puppy needs and providing closely. Also thank you for taking last minute ask for the sitting request. Absolutely the best!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your furbaby and give them all the care and love you would, choose Christy!! My husband and I have a one year old mini aussie shepard (Zelda) with moderate separation anxiety. We went on our first trip without her and this was also our first time having someone that wasn't family watch Zelda. We were so nervous to be leaving her with someone we didn't know, but after the meet and greet we knew right away Christy was going to take excellent care of her. She sent us updates throughout our trip with pictures and we never once worried about Zelda's safety. This whole experience has been incredible and I would give 10 stars if I could! Zelda absolutely loves her and we will choose Christy from now on ❤”
About: I have experience caring for cats, including those with anxiety and overgrooming. I currently care for my own cat and focus on keeping a calm, consistent environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, and paying attention to behavior changes. I take time to build trust with each cat and always provide updates and photos. I also grew up with puppies. I have experienced walking, going potty, and playing! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I have a consistent schedule and am available Wednesday through Friday in the evenings and Saturdays during the day. I already care for my own cat daily, so feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with pets is something I’m used to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. In a client’s home, I follow your cat’s normal routine to keep things as stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat’s personality. I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I also monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“We had an unconventional request for Ute, and she responded with great flexibility and last minute acceptance. Very kind and communicative! Will use her again and certainly recommend.”
“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 :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 13 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for their pets while they were away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I currently have a miniature dachshund, so I have hands-on experience with puppy care, crate training, potty routines, feeding schedules, daily exercise, and reinforcing good behaviors. I know every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll provide attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before work, after work, and throughout the weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m also usually home on the weekends and days I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, exercise, and lots of love. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is pet-proofed to help provide a safe environment for visiting pets. My community is very dog friendly, with a fenced dog park and plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks, exercise, and enrichment. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, crate training, or favorite toys, I’ll follow your instructions closely to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is, and I’ll care for your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.
“Anita was great. I get nervous leaving Gracie when I travel and she put me at ease too. I loved seeing the video of Gracie exploring the yard and being so happy. Absolutely will reach back out when I travel again.”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
“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.”
“Angie is the best!!! I was a little nervous to leave my dogs with someone new because they usually stay with family. Angie sent so many pictures daily and it was great seeing that they were having fun and doing great. My dogs loved it there and will be staying with Angie in the future whenever I need to board.”
“She was great with my dog. Everything that was needed to maintain our schedule at home, she provided without any hesitation. I will definitely be booking a boarding stay with her again!”
“Lacey seems to have had the best time with Ritch and his family. She came home and went to bed without even finishing her dinner, which is rare. They sent a bunch of updates and pictures and were really flexible around drop off and pick up times which is always nice. The kids came by to say goodbye to Lacey on my way out when I picked her up, which was incredibly cute. Would happily drop lacey off with Ritch in the future!”
“Juniper had such a great time with Lisa. Her property is beautiful and spacious and so peaceful. You can tell that everyone is well loved and cared for. When I arrived to pick up Juniper she was running around and playing with all of the other dogs. Highly recommend!!”

“Lisa was a wonderful cat sitter - she made sure our girls were fed, watered, and loved whilst we were away! I would have no hesitation in booking with her again - thank you Lisa!”
“Clay was fantastic and very communicative. He sent pictures and updates of my cat every day and I felt very comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of while I was away. I would easily book Clay again.”
“Melissa was great! I felt completely assured that my cats were getting top notch care. Melissa was kind, professional and sent us plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions of each visit. She really put my mind at ease.”
About: Since I was young I’ve been raised around cats and dogs (12 to be exact), loving animals is a lifetime commitment to me! Whenever my parents would go out of town, I would be in charge of keeping the house safe and our pets. This includes the typical responsibilities as well as providing medical care to our older pets, diabetes shots daily, hip and joint treats with every dinner, even temporary medicines after small procedures. Since I was young, my mother and I were a part of a nonprofit organization run by her best friend called pawsitive difference in Las Vegas, this entailed, not only volunteering at adoption meets, but also even as far as picking up strays off the street taking them to get medical care and fostering until we found them homes. I’ve loved every pet I’ve had temporarily and long-term, along with all the ones I’ve yet to meet! As far as my experience goes, I’ve pet sit for my own as well as friends of the family and for other great dog sitters. I’m doing this until I get my own dog just because I miss having one in the house since moving and I would love nothing more to help your fur babies in any way I can!
“Once again just so grateful for Cheryl and the way she’s so patient and loving towards my cat, Luna. who generally does not play well with others and has had some really negative past sitter experiences. I could go on and on, but Cheryl truly is so attentive, communicative, and goes absolutely above and beyond to keep both Luna and I happy and I am so thankful!!”
“Wow! Thank you Kathy for taking such great care of Kingston! She went out of her way to check on him and gave him lots of love. Definitely will book again”
“Connie was terrific! Super timely, consistent, and descriptive communication.. which I thoroughly appreciated! And many photos which always just alleviates any stress. Highly recommend!”
“Sahara did a great job keeping my old kitty happy for a week while I was out of town. She is really good at communicating and kept me updated for the whole week. Thanks Sahara!”
About: I love dogs and have taken care of them all my life! I recently lost my companion of 12 years in April 2026, Finley, who passed onto the rainbow bridge due to old age. Finley was a 120lb gentle giant, so I am highly experienced with large breeds and dogs of all sizes. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Pomeranian, I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. Being a dog lover while no longer having one has been heartbreaking for me, but it also means that I now have the opportunity to hangout with your pup! :) I only ask for a week in advance notice and prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to see if we align. Take a look at my calendar and see what works for you! I work my day job Thursday through Sunday and am currently available for house sitting Sunday night through Thursday morning and drop-in visits M, T, W. I am available to come to your home or your dog is welcome to stay at mine! I live in a 900 Sq. Ft. apartment with plenty of space for a small or medium dog or a low activity older large breed. I have two orthopedic beds that are cleaned thoroughly after each stay and two dog bowls.
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
About: I specialize in cat care and have experience fostering kittens, including feeding, socializing, and helping them adjust to new environments. I’m comfortable with shy and anxious cats and take a calm, patient approach to build trust. I handle feeding, litter box care, playtime, and medications, while keeping a close eye on behavior. I treat every cat like my own and always provide updates and photos.
“Katherine was fantastic! She had a great personality and was so enthusiastic about meeting our pups right away- they were immediately happy and comfortable with her. We had an unexpected 6 hour flight delay, and she went above and beyond by accepting a last minute booking on a Sunday night to come back to our house to take care of them. The level of flexibility and reliability gave us a huge peace of mind while we were traveling. We are grateful for her help and will definitely be booking with Katherine again.”
About: I have had pets all my life. I have 2 dogs and 1 cats they get a long with all their pet friends. We have regulars that come over for the holidays and vacations. My home is open to all pets no restrictions. We like to make it feel like home when they are here. I work from home so there is lots of love thru out the day and play time outside. We have a dog door so they can go outside when they want and come in when wanting to hang out in the A/C. Also there is a pool for pups to swim and have fun if they want. I am so super flexible with times and making it easier on everyone.

“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”

About: I have been volunteering at a dog shelter for the past 4 years and it has been wonderful, I got to indulge myself in the love and care for dogs, cats and other animals and i got to understand the love and attention they need. It made me realize how amazing animals are to us. I also eventually dog sit for multiple people, and dog walk around my neighborhood. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 5-5:30. As I am in school and im on the bowling team for school. I have two precious Cavapoo and they are super playful and they love company, if there is another dog at my house I typically take them out on a leash just for safety purposes. If there is anything else people would like me to do i would be understanding. Kennel, puppy pee pad, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and horses most of my life and just generally enjoy their company. I am familiar w administering meds, adept at noticing issues and detail oriented. I am available full time during the week at my home and can do morning and evening drop-ins as well. Overnight stays are available as well. I have a fenced in yard, a pool for those that like to swim. A large area for running when weather permits. My home includes two kitty cats and one medium-sized gentle doodle who enjoys playing and snoozing depending on what your dog enjoys. :)
About: Hello! My name is Karen and I've been an avid and passionate animal lover my entire life. I have over 25 years of dog fostering experience with Big Fluffy Dog Rescue, and currently have two 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.
About: I’m a homeowner with a huge fenced in backyard. I WFH so potty breaks and play time is not a problem. I have a 70lb golden retriever who loves to play. I take my own dog for a minimum of two walks a day. Most days I get out three or four times. I have a huge fenced in backyard for in between walks. I have a very sweet 5 year old golden who loves other dogs. I have experimented caring for super young all the way to end of life care for senior dogs.
“WOW! Angie went above and beyond to make Honey's birthday at her house wonderful. She made homemade GF pumpkin cakes (after asking Honey's dietary needs), found party hats, and made it an absolute party. I was having a rough, stressful day, and the photos and updates Angie sent of Honey + Winnie celebrating made my whole day. We will continue trusting Angie with our fur babies!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and could not imagine life without them! Pets deserve all of the attention and love even when you’re gone. I understand the stress of having to leave your pup and can assure you they’ll be in great hands! We’ll go on walks, play throughout the day and snuggle at night. I work from home full time. I am here to hang with them and keep them busy while you are gone. I take my own pup on daily walks and Riley loves to have a friend around. I have lots of grass around my apartment and a big dog park for them to play. I also love going on walks with them and being active if that’s what they like!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. While serving on active duty, I consistently walked and cared for dogs for about six years. I’ve also house sat with pets for extended periods, with my longest stay being two weeks. I’m comfortable with animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep up with established routines, and give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I also take house sitting seriously and will treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m excited to get back into it and spend more time caring for animals again. I work from home, which makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with drop offs starting at 10 AM. I’m able to provide consistent supervision since I work from home. My community has two dog parks, a dog spa, and a great walking trail, so there are plenty of options for exercise and enrichment. Percy Warner Park is also about four miles away for longer walks and outdoor time. I have two cats at home, so I’m mindful about safe introductions and making sure every animal is comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I’ll even run your dogs if needed!
“Marcus was excellent and compassionate. I had a health emergency and he made an exception to care for Sebastián. He kept me informed and sent pictures. I was able to relax and concentrate on healing. He is most definitely a very respectful and responsible young man. I'm so glad to have met him.”
“Thank you so much Ashley for taking such amazing care of little Luigi! He genuinely gets so excited to come hangout with you and his fur friends. He can’t wait until next time!”
“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”
“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!”
“Karen was fantastic in taking care of Echo during a doggy day care visit. Plenty of photos and clearly a happy dog when I picked her up. I highly recommend Karen and will be using her again in the future. Thanks!”
About: Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I love animals and have been a pet sitter and dog walker for five years. I specialize in energetic walks, fun doggy-play during the day, and loving supervision until you return home. I work from home and will ensure your pet gets a lot of attention. I offer the following services: *Walks: I can come by while you are at work or away to take your pet for a walk. Walks range from 30-60 minutes. I can walk up to two dogs at a time, and I can accommodate the level of speed your pet needs. I am trying to expand my walking services on Rover, as I have primarily been boarding, but I also have a lot of walking experience. *Drop-in: If you pet isn't a walker, I can come by and play with them and let them out to the bathroom. *Doggy Day Care: This service is perfect if you need pet care for just the day. I can host your pet at my home. *Boarding: NOTE due to high demand for this service, I am not accepting new clients at the moment. I live in West Nashville, in a townhome with a small fenced in yard. If your pet needs more exercise, we can go for a walk around my neighborhood or I have several parks within miles from house. Feel free to bring their favorite toy or bed, and crates are also welcome. I only board one pet at a time. If there are any behavioral issues I should be aware of, I trust the parent will tell me. *Pet Sitting: I can come to your home and sit for your pet. Meet and greets are available upon request. Thank you, and I look forward to meeting your pet! I work from home so I will make sure your pet will get a lot of attention and exercise throughout the day. There is always time for walks. I treat my clients pets like they are my own. Whether I’m watching them for a few days or just taking them for a walk, I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.
“My girl, Maya had the best time at Amanda’s! You can tell she and her daughter truly care about the dogs as if they were their own. She was flexible with me because I have crazy work hours and kept me updated with pics throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lisa is GREAT! My dog loves her and is always happy to see her for a walk. She’s very flexible and accommodating to my needs and my dogs needs. Highly recommend her to take care of anyones animals!”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA), Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional, and Fear Free Certified. That word salad boils down to: animals are my life. I foster over 150 animals per year for local rescues, and I am comfortable with whatever you throw at me. I’ve cared for 50g neonates all the way up to 120lb seniors and everything in between. I can offer basic grooming such as baths, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleanings. I am comfortable with medical needs such as medication administration, injections, bandage changes, diapering, and mobility limitations. Your pet’s well-being and safety are my priority. I also have experience with exotics, including reptiles, rodents, and birds. I work from home and homeschool my three children, as well as care for my own menagerie of pets. Caring for animals all day every day is so second nature to me that it's a simple addition to extend that care to others. I cleaned homes professionally for many years, so I am very familiar with navigating the individual nature of people’s homes and respecting their space. I take seriously the trust that is extended to me when you allow me into your home. I will always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, leave things better than I found them, and make sure safety and security are a priority.

About: Hi there! I'm Kasey and I’m available for walking & sitting in the Nashville/Kingston Springs area and I would love to hang out with your fur babies!

I am comfortable accepting in-tact males, bully breeds, pets with behavioral issues, & pets with special needs. With over a decade of experience, I’ve seen it all and nothing can phase me! I am well equipped for any pet emergency situation, and am familiar with first-aid for both dogs and cats. I'm very experienced in administering medications, including insulin injections. Aside from dogs & cats, I also have plenty of experience caring for farmyard & exotic animals including rodents, reptiles, aquatic pets, birds, cows, pigs, goats, & horses! Big and small, I love them all!. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any and all questions! Rover is my full-time job, so my availability is very open & flexible! I'll always do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs, whether it's making last minute adjustments or extending your stay! I typically care for only one household at a time, so that I can provide your little angels with the most attentive care possible!

So I always like to get a thorough idea of their everyday life with you.

About: As a responsible, middle-aged professional with a lifelong love of animals, I bring maturity, trustworthiness, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether you’re heading out for a few hours or a full vacation, you can count on me to treat your pet like they’re my own—with affection, structure, and plenty of playtime. I work from home, which means I can often adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, or extended overnight care. I’m especially available on evenings and weekends, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate special requests. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their home environment and understand the importance of respecting your space. I’m confident with crate-trained pets, administering basic medications, and making sure everything is secure when I leave. Cleanliness, safety, and attention to detail are always my priorities.

About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 9 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
About: I’ve been an animal person all my life and have always cohabitated with cats and dogs—I’ve been told I have good and calming energy with animals that makes them feel comfortable and secure with me. I have direct experience working in the animal care field at a local shelter; I facilitated dog and cat intakes, run dog playgroups & performed behavioral assessments. While managing the kennel, feeding schedules, special care and enrichment activities are important to me! I have direct experience administering vaccines, medication, and completing health assessments from newborn dogs and cats to seniors/palliative care. Gentle hands, warmth and kindness are important to me when handling animals. I take care of my own cats, dogs and chickens each day—working in the shelter environment it was a full time job, caring for animals. I hope to move into a more flexible routine caring for animals that aligns with my lifestyle. I will care for your animals just like how I care for my own. Maintain feeding schedules, exercise needs and balanced play/relax time. I have no problem administering medications and special meals for your pets and meeting their standard of care!
“Jessica is great! Out of all the pet sitters we’ve had, our animals like her the most. She’s very patient with our anxious dog and elderly cat. She’s also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fish and aquatic creatures! Whenever she house sits for us I know we’ll be coming home to a very clean house as well. She is punctual, personable, great with communication, sends pictures and updates, and it’s obvious that she loves animals. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. While serving on active duty, I consistently walked and cared for dogs for about six years. I’ve also house sat with pets for extended periods, with my longest stay being two weeks. I’m comfortable with animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep up with established routines, and give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I also take house sitting seriously and will treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m excited to get back into it and spend more time caring for animals again. I work from home, which makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with drop offs starting at 10 AM. I’m able to provide consistent supervision since I work from home. My community has two dog parks, a dog spa, and a great walking trail, so there are plenty of options for exercise and enrichment. Percy Warner Park is also about four miles away for longer walks and outdoor time. I have two cats at home, so I’m mindful about safe introductions and making sure every animal is comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I’ll even run your dogs if needed!

“Kaylene was amazing! My original Rover Walker bailed the first day. I was frantic! Kaylene responded quickly and was able to start the next day! Piper loved having Kaylene for walks every day. Informative notes, many pictures, and genuine care for our pup. Awesome service and just friendly and kind!!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life, I couldn’t imagine a household without pets. I enjoy all the time I have with these critters, and love to spend time with them and people alike! I hope I get the chance to meet you and your furbabies! I am currently home from college on break, so I am mostly free! I have my own car and the ability to get wherever need be. I am very passionate about instilling trust in people and animals, I think that is the most important part about working with a pet. Trusting the animal and then trusting you is a great first step to a good bond :)

“Bailie took great care of our kitten, Shortbread! She sent us great picture updates everyday, and he seemed well taken care of when we picked him up. Thanks Bailie!”
“Christopher was Great!! I reached out last minute to see if he could keep my 2yo Catahoula, and he immediately responded and was available. He kept me updated with texts and pictures of how she was doing, and she was worn out and happy when I picked her back up! Would definitely book again!”
“Lorie is the best! Our dog loves her, gets so excited when we pull in. She gives him so much love, lives in a very dog friendly house and has many places for him to snuggle up. Lorie sends daily photos and updates and is very responsive.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Sarah and Kevin took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention given, it was clear our pet was in great hands. They followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our furry friend felt comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Sarah and Kevin for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”
“Abigail was so sweet with my puppy, trying to understand what the puppy needs and providing closely. Also thank you for taking last minute ask for the sitting request. Absolutely the best!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your furbaby and give them all the care and love you would, choose Christy!! My husband and I have a one year old mini aussie shepard (Zelda) with moderate separation anxiety. We went on our first trip without her and this was also our first time having someone that wasn't family watch Zelda. We were so nervous to be leaving her with someone we didn't know, but after the meet and greet we knew right away Christy was going to take excellent care of her. She sent us updates throughout our trip with pictures and we never once worried about Zelda's safety. This whole experience has been incredible and I would give 10 stars if I could! Zelda absolutely loves her and we will choose Christy from now on ❤”
“We had an unconventional request for Ute, and she responded with great flexibility and last minute acceptance. Very kind and communicative! Will use her again and certainly recommend.”
“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 :)”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
“Angie is the best!!! I was a little nervous to leave my dogs with someone new because they usually stay with family. Angie sent so many pictures daily and it was great seeing that they were having fun and doing great. My dogs loved it there and will be staying with Angie in the future whenever I need to board.”
“She was great with my dog. Everything that was needed to maintain our schedule at home, she provided without any hesitation. I will definitely be booking a boarding stay with her again!”
“Lacey seems to have had the best time with Ritch and his family. She came home and went to bed without even finishing her dinner, which is rare. They sent a bunch of updates and pictures and were really flexible around drop off and pick up times which is always nice. The kids came by to say goodbye to Lacey on my way out when I picked her up, which was incredibly cute. Would happily drop lacey off with Ritch in the future!”
“Juniper had such a great time with Lisa. Her property is beautiful and spacious and so peaceful. You can tell that everyone is well loved and cared for. When I arrived to pick up Juniper she was running around and playing with all of the other dogs. Highly recommend!!”
“We had a 10/10 Rover experience with Marissa! She was super easy to coordinate with and we could tell that she took the best care of Eddie. He was so sleepy when we brought him home from playing with her pup all weekend! We will definitely be calling her again.”

“Ashley is amazing with our dog Renzo. We are so grateful for her services and we know he’s in the best hands with her! We are especially appreciative of her communication and the pictures she sends.”
“Karen was incredible with my pup, Cash! She was very responsive to all of my questions & sent multiple updates with photos and videos throughout the day. This was comforting to me while I was away. She also worked with Cash on following commands and potting training. I am so thankful Karen took such great care of Cash. It eased my anxieties with boarding a pup. I will definitely be rebooking with Karen.”
