“Shawna went above and beyond to make our 3 girls feel safe and loved for the week she cared for them. She came a few days before to meet them and to understand how we take care of them so that she could continue that at home she sent daily pictures of them and was willing to check in and let us know how they were settling in and what they had done that day. She even purchased a set of stairs, so our smallest girl could get up on the couch with the rest of the dogs we would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future. Her young sons really helped. Our girls settle in and made a hard week on them a little easier”
“Gloria was wonderful! Great communication and sent lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were gone. He was well taken care of at her home. Her place is easy to find too.”
“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Absolutely great stay for my Labrador retriever Jake. Stephanie was very easy to work with and I can tell Jake had a good time and was very well taken care of. I will definitely be letting Jake stay there again anytime we’re out of town.”
“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!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.
“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“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.”
“Sarah was fantastic. Murphy had an amazing time, and I know she was treated very well. Sarah loves dogs and that was evident by the way she immediately took to Murphy.”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Billie Jo is very sweet & accommodating! Charlie Boy loved being with her & settled right in instead of being anxious. She has a large fenced-in yard that's easy for senior dogs or those with health challenges. Would recommend without hesitation for your fur baby!”
“She was very responsive and sent the cutest pictures of my pug while I was gone! Nala had a great time and looked so excited in all of her photos. Nala even gave her some trouble on the first day, but she was still very understanding and sweet. Definitely recommend her!”
“Our dog was very comfortable in the house within minutes. She sniffed everywhere, went outside then made herself at home on the couch. We forsure will use Mary again. Thanks Mary.”
“Gabrielle was pleasant to meet and took amazing care of our dog Stanley while we were traveling. Gabrielle sent pictures and made sure Stanley was given love! We would definitely recommend having Gabrielle take care of your pet also!”
“Keturah was so great with my overly excited pug, her family and fur babies welcomed him like he was one of their own, I was nervous leaving him for nearly a week, and I have never used rover before, but being last minute, they were very helpful and accommodating, I even had to leave him for one extra night, and Keturah assured me it was no problem to watch him, what a life saver! Bruno had so much fun and got the love he needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future to take loving care of my Bruno.”

“Candice did amazing with our fur-babies! Delilah is usually very anxious around new people, and she was comfortable enough to lay on the couch and accept some scratches after just a few minutes with Candice. That has never happened before with anyone else. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”

About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.
“Stephanie did an amazing job at taking care of my cat. She was a great communicator throughout the process and super sweet. She went above and beyond what I expected, I would highly recommend her!”
About: Since I’ve been a kid I’ve been around animals of all kinds. I have owned dachshunds, poodles, labs, and other animals. I love to take care of them. I work full time but I will be phasing more into pet care. Once I can get my facility built and inspected I will be able to board quite a few animals. I will make sure the animals are fed and watered. Depending on how long the watch is I’ll take them out however many times needed. I will also follow all instructions given by the owners.
“Thank you for watching our 3 cats. One had to get medication administered last minute and Catherine did a great job with that. All of our cats were well taken care of and we got the best photos! Will book again!”
About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.
“Karen is a great pet sitter. She took care of my complicated senior kitty and now is just as caring, conscientious, and communicative with my two kittens. Totally reliable, recommend without hesitation!”
“Kaley was amazing with my dogs! Paisley is normally a very scared/anxious little dog and Kaley put her right at ease. I received many pictures and the dogs looked very happy and content in them. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Ellen was fantastic. Olive, a senior cat, hides under the bed if she's afraid, and sometimes has taken a whole day to come out. With Ellen, she was out and comfortable within the hour. I so appreciate knowing she is happy when I'm gone - thank you Ellen”

“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”
About: I have had a dog in my life since age 6. I have always had rescue dogs and as many as 8 on a large property. I have lost all 11 now and don't know if I can take the heartbreak again. To provide boarding or daycare options, my 'dog fix' will be fulfilled and serve your needs also. I have never met a dog that didn't like me, all dogs I have met engage with me quickly. I am a RN and have performed CPR on one of my dogs before bringing him back to life. I can give oral meds and have given injections to my dogs in the past. I walk daily and if your dog wants to join me, perfect! I work from home and an empty nester. I am home most afternoons and evenings and will adjust my schedule to be here with your fur kid without large gaps in time. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door to the backyard if your dog knows how to use one. My neighbor is small with sidewalks for safety. I have a large and medium crate if your dog requires one no need to bring it. They can be on the couch or even sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a covered patio to protect from the weather elements so your dog can lay outside and enjoy fresh air. Water will be available outside also.
“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾

“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great place for my dog to spend the day, we will definitely utilize the services this family provides again. They treated us and our dog as family, very warm and welcoming atmosphere. And my dog loved it.”
“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”

About: Hi! My name is Beth! I absolutely love animals! My husband and I have four dogs and four cats that we care for. They are our babies! So, I know how important getting the best care for your fur babies is! I can walk, feed, play or just check in for a potty break if need be. I had an older dog that had to take medicine every day for cancer, sadly he has passed on. So I am also able to give medicine if that's what your baby needs. I am also available to check on cats. I work as a school photographer, so if you need pictures of your babies while I am caring for them I will be more than happy to provide that! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work a Monday through Friday job, usually until about 5pm. So I am available for drop-ins and walks, I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday through Friday in the evenings or really early mornings.

I will do exactly as directed to the very best of my ability.

“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”

“Shawna went above and beyond to make our 3 girls feel safe and loved for the week she cared for them. She came a few days before to meet them and to understand how we take care of them so that she could continue that at home she sent daily pictures of them and was willing to check in and let us know how they were settling in and what they had done that day. She even purchased a set of stairs, so our smallest girl could get up on the couch with the rest of the dogs we would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future. Her young sons really helped. Our girls settle in and made a hard week on them a little easier”
“Gloria was wonderful! Great communication and sent lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were gone. He was well taken care of at her home. Her place is easy to find too.”
“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Absolutely great stay for my Labrador retriever Jake. Stephanie was very easy to work with and I can tell Jake had a good time and was very well taken care of. I will definitely be letting Jake stay there again anytime we’re out of town.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“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.”
“Sarah was fantastic. Murphy had an amazing time, and I know she was treated very well. Sarah loves dogs and that was evident by the way she immediately took to Murphy.”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Billie Jo is very sweet & accommodating! Charlie Boy loved being with her & settled right in instead of being anxious. She has a large fenced-in yard that's easy for senior dogs or those with health challenges. Would recommend without hesitation for your fur baby!”
“She was very responsive and sent the cutest pictures of my pug while I was gone! Nala had a great time and looked so excited in all of her photos. Nala even gave her some trouble on the first day, but she was still very understanding and sweet. Definitely recommend her!”
“Gabrielle was pleasant to meet and took amazing care of our dog Stanley while we were traveling. Gabrielle sent pictures and made sure Stanley was given love! We would definitely recommend having Gabrielle take care of your pet also!”
“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”
“Paul and his family were amazing with my dog. They made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing and went above and beyond to accommodate me. I would let them watch Onyx again in a heartbeat.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our two large, high-energy labs had the best time with her. She kept them active, happy, and well cared for, and she sent us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in her care. Heather was also very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. We would gladly trust her with our pups again!”

“10/10 recommend Jenny and her family! They were able to make last minute accommodations for my pit mix. She had a great time at her house full of play time and cuddles. Jenny sent me pictures and was great at communicating with me. Can’t wait to book with her again.”
