Personalized care for your dog or cat - Newbern

“Axel had a great time with Cheryl! He was so chilled and happy when I brought him home. He clearly had lots of exercise and loving attention. Cheryl is really friendly, responsive and obviously loves dogs! The care your pet will get with Cheryl far exceeds what you'll get in a typical kennel. Thanks Cheryl!”

“The doggos had a great time and Amy took such good care of them!”

“Cheryl was responsive and efficient and seems very good with animals. She dropped in on my two kitties and they seemed so happy when I got home. I’d definitely rebook with Cheryl and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail and a happy pup! 🐕 From tiny puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a special care routine, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. ❤️ I’m currently attending Union University for nurse anesthesia. Being a graduate student gives me the perfect balance of structure and flexibility, which means I can easily make time for your furry friend. My schedule allows for breaks throughout the day, so I can stop by for walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — it’s the highlight of my day — and I love incorporating their care into my routine as a fun and rewarding part of my week. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first. I will always follow your care instructions closely. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine love for animals — so you can feel confident your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I spent last summer working at a kennel with over 60 hunting dogs. We prepared dogs for AKC/UKC hunt tests and field trials in competitions across the nation. I work with Doordash part-time which means my schedule is extremely flexible. The busy times for doordash are during lunch and dinner, but I'm able to schedule deliveries around pet care. All pets are different and require a unique approach and handling. There is no one-size-fits-all method even amongst a single breed. It won't take long for me to understand your pet and develop a routine around their needs.

“Michele makes it super easy and I appreciate her!”

About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.

About: I have taken care of many dogs & cats (and more!) in my lifetime, whether it was for family, friends, babies I have adopted, you name it! I will be available every weekday from 2pm-9pm and all weekend! I am very reliable and passionate about pets and animals. I can't wait to sit them! I can lovingly treat your pets with kindness and feed, crate, take on walks, give attention to and do what you think is best! ♡

About: Hi there! My name is Kylee, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve raised and cared for dogs since I was about 6 years old, and I currently have three pups of my own who I absolutely adore. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I know how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I’ve also had experience dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and experience housesitting over the years — from puppies to senior dogs — so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I’m responsible, gentle, and super in tune with animals, and I treat every pet like my own. If you’re looking for someone dependable, patient, and pet-obsessed, I’d love to help care for your furry family member! I am currently a student pilot and have decided to take some time to travel and build experience before furthering to a bigger academy. I’m looking for house/pet sitting with accommodation, but am willing to go anywhere and give as much time to take care of your fur babies! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I always follow care instructions closely, keep the environment safe, and treat every animal like my own. You’ll get regular updates, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“We had Dana come stay at our house and babysit our cat, Bella, for 5 days while we took a work-cation. I really like Dana, and we will definitely request her again. Here are a few reason why: 1) Our AC broke a few days before we were to leave but that did not bother Dana, she took it all in stride (thankfully, we did end up getting it fixed before we left). 2) Bella is not an easy cat to feed. She's a picky eater and can be somewhat of a pain when it comes to finishing her food. Dana was willing to work with Bella's "bad eating habits," which can honestly be a pain in the butt! 3) Bella knows how to do tricks so Dana took pictures of her tricks and sent them to me. This made me feel good, and let me know Bella likes Dana (Bella is skeptical of strangers). 4) We have bird feeders, bird baths, and even a bee bath that she kept full. 5) She watered our outdoor potted flowers/plants and they looked great when we came home. 6) Dana got our mail. 7) Dana left the house neat and tidy.”

“Sheryl was phenomenal with our cat. Consistently updated with photos and messages on how he was doing. This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family and we could not have been happier and more secure with our decision.”

About: I have takin care of animals since i was 5 from friends to family to strangers i love animals and they usually love my personality.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog, Manny, since I got him when I was 9. I also worked at a doggy day care/boarding/spa place for about 2 years and I loved everything about it! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and it’s my passion. I just moved back to Dyersburg, my hometown, from a year in Washington state so I don’t have a 9-5 job currently, I just really want to do something with dogs so here I am! I’ll be available pretty much any time. I’ve been trained to take care of dogs before because at the doggy day care it was just me in charge of a room of like 50+ dogs and that can get crazy. I’ve learned the tells a dog gives about how they are feeling, how to break up fights and how to prevent them.

“Cheryl was wonderful with our little Theodore. Very responsive and sent pictures and updates. She was able to help us out last minute and Theodore had a blast playing with her dogs and apparently her cat too lol. We will be using her from now on.”

“Daycare with Steve was great! He has a large backyard where my puppies could hang out and socialize with other dogs and they came home happy and tired. He was also very flexible and good with communication! Let me set up a meet and greet beforehand so I knew where my puppies would be staying! I already have my next daycare days scheduled!”

I have a yard that is currently not fenced but that can be fixed, I will be home all day so I can attend to your pet, I have space for a kennel when necessary and live on a dead end which makes is easier for walks up and down the road.

About: I am a dog lover and love all breeds of dogs! I consider dogs as members of the family, and will love and treat yours like my own fur babies! I have dog sat all different kinds of breeds (my biggest two were a St. Bernard and English Mastiff). I have also recently gained experience in keeping cats. Feed, water, and played with daily. My fur babies get to roam the yard while we are home and sometimes get to go for a run with the four wheeler around the farm. I will do my best to keep your fur babies on their regular feeding and play schedule. I know having a stranger in their home can be hard, but they will get the same love and attention.

About: I've had pets since I was a child! I've volunteered at shelters and rescues my entire life..

I usually do drop ins before and after work, and before bed time (7-7:30/4:15-4:45/8:30-9). I thoroughly enjoy working with animals! I'm here for emergencies and last minute trips as well! I have a pretty good sized yard. Fenced in with lots to explore. Im located 1 block away from the intermediate school, where I walk my dogs often. I have 1 crate (XL) that can be used. I tend to let them on the furniture and bed. If that's not something you want I can crate your baby when need be.

About: I’m calm, nurturing and energetic . My three Yorkies were the loves of my life for 18 years! I’m an available to help as needed.

About: While I don’t have any pets of my own, I have experience in taking care of family and friends pets, keeping them happy and healthy and having the owner satisfied with my work. I have fed, bathed, and walked pets all while keeping them safe. I work and volunteer part time so that leaves plenty of time to visit your pets! I can visit on tuesdays Wednesdays, and thursdays and some weekends! Unfortunately due to the apartment life I have no room to bring your pets to my home, which is also why I have no pets of my own, but at your home I will ensure that all your pet is safe and things will not harm him/her!
