“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“Mary is absolutely a fantastic dog watcher! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dog Gia. She was very easy to contact and provided daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy again!”
“We could not have asked for a more perfect sitter for Axel. Shawna was very responsive to all communications. She took extra care to ensure his safety and we had no concerns with knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. Thank you!”
“Hannah is very sweet and communicative and her dogs are just as nice. I’m sure my dog and his puppy energy was a pain in the butt but if he was they didn’t let on and the photos they sent showed them getting along perfectly. I would highly recommend Hannah.”
“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
“Allyson and Tyler treated my Maddie girl like a member of their family!! They sent updates on her days and pictures! I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time leaving Maverick and Dixie with someone who wasn’t friends or family so we were super nervous. But we had to leave town last minute and could not take them with us. Caillyn got back to us quickly letting us know she could take them in and assured us our dogs would be okay while we were gone. She texted us that first night letting us know the dogs were adjusting well and just exploring. That small update helped me relax immensely. Caillyn reassured us each day our dogs were doing great and sent us pictures of them enjoying outside. We are so grateful we could leave our pups with her and know they were well loved. She made our first Rover experience a good one and we will definitely be using Caillyn again when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Copper loved his stay with Keturah & Tyler! Communication was great before and during his first overnighter. We definitely would recommend Keturah and Tyler and we will be back!”

About: We’ve both had cats in the past and are comfortable with the basics of cat care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them plenty of space when they want it. It has been a few years since we’ve personally had cats, so dogs are definitely where most of our recent experience is. That said, we’re happy to follow your cat’s normal routine and instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Always happy when Jill is available to check in on our girls. This time, we had some packages arrive early unexpectedly (including a huge Chewy box - sorry Jill!) and she brought them in for us. I always know my house and pets will be taken care of with her.”
“Stephanie is wonderful and went above and beyond with our cats! She vacuumed, swept the floor and even washed out the food bowls so that we got home to a clean house and happy kitties!”
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Haley was fantastic! She took such great care of our kitties and we loved the pictures she sent us. It gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring her again ?”
“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and animals have always been one of the biggest passions in my life. For the past five years, I’ve been rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m especially comfortable caring for medically complex pets and understand the importance of strict medication schedules, feeding times, and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs extra patience, routine, or medical attention, you can trust that I’ll treat them with the same level of care and dedication that I would my own. I also love taking dogs on walks, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Professionally, I work in hospice and memory care, where compassion, patience, and reliability are essential every day. While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to rescue and foster as much as I used to, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to continue doing what I love caring for animals and giving pet owners peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide them with loving, dependable care while you’re away. I am currently working night shift 7pm-7am but have Tuesday's Thursday's Saturday's and every other Sunday off! I would love to be able to come by and hangout with your furry friend during the day when needed and discussions on boarding on weekends are always welcome! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. With five years of experience rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and specialized diets. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care while you’re away.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
“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.”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
About: Your pets deserve more than just a sitter. I will love and care for them as if they was my own child bc pets aren’t just animals they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety, exercise, and affection for every pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, while providing a safe, clean environment and plenty of attention and affection.
“Absolutely amazing! They both were so welcoming with our dogs and I felt they were very happy and content right from getting there! Communication was great and the photos/videos really helped put me at ease. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.
About: I am an absolute dog lover and have taken care of dogs for over 15 years! I can handle puppies and adult dogs with ease. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability to be able to care for your baby. My schedule is pretty open for the most part. I have a big front and backyard and a friendly dog that can play with your baby. Unfortunately it is unfenced, however I make sure to keep close supervision. We can play inside or outside, whichever is preferred.
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️

He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
About: I’ve had a pup my entire life, at one point my wife and I had 4 doggies! I have experience with dogs of all stages of life! We live an active lifestyle, but also love to cuddle at night! In the Summer I only work a few hours a day. My wife works from home a couple days a week as well! Your pup would only be alone a couple hours max. I have a large fenced back yard! We try to keep to your pups normal routine. They can either be crated or free roaming depending on your preference when I go run errands. I have a doggie door for my pup to go in and out throughout the day.

I am available full time to pet sit including visits, dog walk, overnight stays short or long. I am just starting with rover so schedule is open. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in both your home or mine. I follow feeding schedules, handle medications, maintain litter/cleanup, and provide playtime, cuddles, or quiet time depending on your pet’s personality. I also send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!

I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals.

I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

About: Hi! My name is Whitney, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and animals through pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, and daily care. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet I meet. I have experience working with pets who have special needs and am comfortable administering medications and providing medical assistance when needed. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m always willing to adapt to your pet’s specific needs to help them feel safe and happy. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby and provide dependable, compassionate care. I’m also pretty flexible with scheduling and notice whenever possible! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently flexible with my schedule at this time! Currently working remotely. With notice available for drop ins, walks and sitting for your fur babies! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! Though we do not have a fenced in yard, they go for daily walks and have fun enrichment activities inside. I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday. I have a pretty set routine with my dogs, as I wake up early (6am) to let them both out, and again around 9. I am very attentive with my dogs, as I would be with yours! I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it! I imagine how my dogs would feel if my dogs were going to a new place, and want to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible, as new environments can be scary.
About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!

“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy again!”
“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. Thank you!”
“Hannah is very sweet and communicative and her dogs are just as nice. I’m sure my dog and his puppy energy was a pain in the butt but if he was they didn’t let on and the photos they sent showed them getting along perfectly. I would highly recommend Hannah.”
“Allyson and Tyler treated my Maddie girl like a member of their family!! They sent updates on her days and pictures! I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time leaving Maverick and Dixie with someone who wasn’t friends or family so we were super nervous. But we had to leave town last minute and could not take them with us. Caillyn got back to us quickly letting us know she could take them in and assured us our dogs would be okay while we were gone. She texted us that first night letting us know the dogs were adjusting well and just exploring. That small update helped me relax immensely. Caillyn reassured us each day our dogs were doing great and sent us pictures of them enjoying outside. We are so grateful we could leave our pups with her and know they were well loved. She made our first Rover experience a good one and we will definitely be using Caillyn again when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“Nicole was great! Super friendly, has a great home with a wonderful backyard. Our Frenchie had a great time with Nicole & her family. Our Frenchie takes special meds & Nicole was able to administer with no problem. We were out of the country & Nicole was still able to communicate via WhatsApp & still send us daily updates & pictures. She provides great care & we will definitely use her again. Very much recommend Nicole!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“My dog loves this home and the people. The last time I dropped her off, she literally darted to the sitter jumping etc so she is definitely happy and taken care of well by Lanelle.”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
