“Crista was able to accommodate a last-minute booking due to a family emergency, and we really appreciated the quick communication/hosting. And per usual, Elsa loved her visit. The thanksgiving photoshoot was a really cute touch!”
“Brandi is awesome! She took great care of my pup and sent really nice updates and photos each day. My pup seemed to fit in really well with her and her family and I felt confident that his needs were taken care of. Will definitely book again. Thanks Brandi!”
“Pam took wonderful care of my dog, Loui! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a true dog lover, and Loui warmed up to her immediately. Throughout Loui’s stay, Pam kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. When I picked Loui up, he was happy, well-exercised, and clearly enjoyed his time with Pam. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Pam for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Giulia and her family were wonderful! We have a pretty high energy lab and when we picked him up he was exhausted from playing with her dogs and being loved! We will absolutely book with Giulia again. She is so responsive and would send updates and pictures and videos everyday.”
“Kayley and her family are amazing! My boy had such a nice time there and I felt totally comfortable leaving him for a few days knowing he was in good hands. She sent multiple photos over his stay and was in great communication through the whole process! Will definitely be sending him back for another fun stay in the future.”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“We have a geriatric dog who has a little trouble getting around. Tish was extremely patient and helpful with her, and our dog really seemed comfortable. We would be very comfortable having our dog stay with Tish any time”
“Avery took care of Mortimer. A dog that is stand offish… he took to Avery immediately!! I couldn’t be any happier and thrilled that we and Mo have a Rover friend we trust so much!!!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Megan and her husband did a wonderful job with Gracie! I would highly recommend them, especially if you have a dog who isn’t fond of other animals, like mine ? We will definitely be using thanks again!!!”
“My Bleu had a great time hanging with George and Ginger! He ran straight into their fenced in yard as soon as I let him out of the car and was exhausted when I got him home. He spent a long weekend with them while I went on a bike ride. I would definitely trust him to keep my boy anytime.”
“Karie was wonderful! Communicative via messages and sending photos, took my dog on multiple walks a day, and in general cared for him as one of her own. Highly recommend!”
“Cannot recommend them highly enough. They were so sweet with our pups and I could tell the dogs were right at home with Christina and Brent. Even though they aren't close to where we live I would absolutely board with them again.”
“We dropped our dogs off for boarding while my partner and I raced in IM Chattanooga and are so thankful that Jaxen was able to watch them! They got to play a bunch and tired themselves out — and got a bath before being picked up. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while we raced.”
“Joseph was absolutely amazing with our fur baby, Rosco! His communication was excellent, he made the entire process super easy, and put our minds at ease being away. We received pictures/videos throughout each day and it was easy to see that Rosco was happy and felt right at home. 10/10 I highly recommend booking with him!”
“Denita always does a great job with our doggo! He gets to play his little heart out with the other dogs and has a blast! He is always so exhausted from the fun he had which is an added bonus for us lol! We have used her for every vacation we go on and will continue to do so!”
About: I’ve taken care for animals since I was 9 years old from dogs to cats to even reptiles. My family, neighbors and past coworkers have relied on me for top notch pet care. I can care for your pet throughout the weekend for that extra time off. During the week day i am in school and can do only half the day from 3 pm or 4 pm to 11pm. I have a a big fenced in yard for dogs with a lot of energy to a personal cat palace for your cats run and jump around.
“Jonathan kept my dog really well. We went away for 20 days, and I always felt confident that Watson was well looked after. When I picked my dog up he couldn't believe I still existed. He'd completely adjusted to his new life;) We'll happily use Jonathan again, and I'd recommend him to anyone.”

“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
“Skylar was great! She helped me out last minute over the weekend taking care of my cat. I had no issues trusting her in my home and appreciated all the photos she sent of my Grayson! Would ask for her help in the future and recommend her to anyone :)! Thanks again!”
“JaNiya is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She had clear and daily communication, fulfilled all of my requests, and went above and beyond by being flexible with my arrival/departure times. My cats are extremely happy with their experience and so am I! :) Will 100% be booking with her again.”
“Terezie took great care of my two cats! She was thoughtful and asked good questions to ensure she understood everything they needed. She was very communicative about her check-ins. I will definitely book again!”
“Again Crista was doing a great job in taking care about our little cat. For good reason we are asked her now the 3rd or 4th time😉Thank you Crista, and a happy new year!”
“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, taking time to play, pet, and let him outside for little outings in the backyard. Really lovely - thank you!!”
“Great experience having Kristin cat sit again! She's attentive, sends pictures and goes that extra mile that makes you feel your pets are in excellent hands! Highly recommended.”
“Olivia was awesome! She made sure my cat got exercise, love, and companionship while I was out of town. She sent the best pictures and helped me enjoy my trip without worrying about my baby. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Appreciate how thorough Baylee was in her comments and photos. Put my mind at ease that my cat was being well cared for. Baylee was also consistent in when she dropped in everyday, which allowed me to not have to worry if/when she would show up. Look forward to using Baylee in the future!”
“Caroline did an amazing job with my two kitties! And was so sweet about me blowing her up with extra details about how to take care of them :) I’d recommend her to anyone and am definitely going to be hitting her up next time we’re out of town.”
“Lindsay was amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty (who gets very lonely when we are gone), sometimes hanging out with him for longer than the booked 30 minute visits. He immediately connected with her and was snuggling on the couch with her within days (he doesn’t do that for everyone). Lindsay was also super observant and attentive. I would definitely book her to watch our little guy again!”
“Eric did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties when I went out of town for the weekend for my niece's graduation. He sent me photos and video every time he checked on them. I really appreciate the care he gave them while I was gone.”
“Karie has been great this past week and I know she will continue that going forward. Since losing my wife last month, my life has been in shambles. I needed to go back to work and could not leave Maggie in the house all day, it wouldn’t be fair to her. And then I found Karie, she is doing a fantastic job making sure that my girl gets to go outside and take care of business and get some much needed exercise. I will continue to have Karie drop in to take care of my girls as long as she is available and I need the help. Hopefully Lucy will begin to come out of hiding and show herself more to Karie.”
“Kari does a great job taking care of our pets! She communicates any concerns while checking on the animals and sends daily updates and pictures. We trust Kari and we will continue to book her to take care of our pets!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridgeside
“Justin is absolutely fantastic! He took our very energetic lab on a hike where he got off leash time and was able to stream around in some creeks. He came back so tired and has slept the last two days!”
“Stephanie was very kind and attentive to Biscotti's food, drink, and activity needs. She monitored B's social activity with her dog and two other "guest Rovers" diligently. Biscotti was calm, joyful, and appropriately tired after a full day of socialization. I would highly recommend Stephanie.”

“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”

About: Dogs are life! Growing up, I have always had at least one dog that was part of the family. My love for these animals extended into college, where I began rescuing and fostering dogs with Circle of Friends Animal Society. I've been with them since 2010, and have personally rescued, trained, and adopted out 150+ dogs. Apart from my volunteer work with COFAS, I also worked for "Fetch the Leash" in Athens, GA. My time as an animal caretaker has allowed me to gain experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. The only thing greater than my knowledge of "mans best friend" is my PASSION for these animals. I currently have two dogs that I love dearly--I promise to love your furkids the same!
“Would definitely be a repeat customer of Tatiana’s! She menu was accommodating, friendly, great location, and better yet our dog loved her and her sweet dog, Kairo!”
“Mariah was so incredible from start to finish with our sweet girl. We will definitely recommend to all friends who come through town and return to her each time we come through. She was son accommodating to our strange travel schedule.”
“Sara is amazing with Leo! He is so happy when he gets to go to her house and I always know he is well taken care of and has a blast. Will definitely keep asking Sara to hang with my boy!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and dog trainers. I’ve had cats my entire life. I work from home and live alone with 3 rescue dogs and two rescue cats. I own two Shih Tzus and one service dog that is a Schnauzer. All of my pets are dog and cat friendly. I own my own home, extra crates of all sizes for those that need crates. I have extra fences for inside and outside the home if someone doesn’t like to mingle. My fur babies are family and I’ll treat yours the same. I work from home 100% of the time. I have breaks on the hour for potty breaks and to go walk and care for your fur babies locally. I live alone with my rescues and my fur babies are my life. I work as a Professional Counselor and have a secondary Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I was raised with a professional dog trainer and have a lifetime of experience. I have a fenced yard with extra barriers to keep everyone safe. My dogs are very friendly and playful and will keep your babies entertained. All of my animals are spayed or neutered with up to date full vaccinations and monthly plans with Banfield to keep them healthy. I have experience giving meds and giving subcutaneous fluids via IV if needed. Elderly and puppies always welcome. I can assist with potty training if needed.

Margo is great with instructions, my picky Doberman was very at ease with her which says a lot! Thank you SO much!!”

About: Growing up there was always a dog in our home! Now that I am a travel nurse, we don’t have a pet and I miss my furry friends! I would love to get to know your pet and care for them in between travel nursing contracts :) When I am not a travel nurse, I don’t work during the week- so I am making this and house projects my new full time job! I have a very flexible schedule and will be quick to respond to your messages! I would love to care for your dog as I would one of my own pets. As I said, with my traveling lifestyle I can’t have a pet right now. While I am home in Chattanooga, I would love to care for your dog however I can!

I have experience cleaning up after animals if something were to go wrong. I try to provide dogs plenty of time outdoors, or cats lots of enrichment!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and treat as a priority in my schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable about sticking to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my priority when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure pets are secure, supervised, and comfortable in their environment. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
