“Lauryn provides excellent care for Charli! I especially appreciate the updates and pictures she sends, which always give me peace of mind while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and truly treats Charli like family. Lauryn also goes above and beyond to accommodate travel plans and scheduling needs, which I greatly appreciate. I always know Charli is safe, happy, and well cared for when she’s with Lauryn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
“Shawna, has done an excellent job with my two Shih Tzu poodles. She has had them longer than expected and accommodated me through a major surgery that had some hiccups. Her attention to detail with your dog is outstanding. She is an hour and a half for me and his well worth the drive for me to leave them there because I know they’re taking care of. She sends plenty of pictures so you’ll know how much fun your dog is actually really having with her.”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Ann was great, she has excellent accommodations for my furbabies. Ann is exceptionally great at communicating updates throughout the stay while our two children were in her care.”
“Lola came home happy and tired! I know she enjoyed having a yard to roam since she does not have one at home! Mary was attentive to her needs and monitored for when she needed her meds.”
“Daniella was great. She took Gigi last minute as we were traveling to NC to TN. She communicated the entire time and send picture/video updates. She also gave tips on how we could train her when we picked her up. She was extremely informative and communicative.”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“Ryan’s availability and quick response time was so helpful. He loved on our babies just like we would and gave great updates. Through the wonderful pictures I knew our babies were having a good time and were well looked after.”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had cats my entire life, including now! I am experienced in kitten, senior cat care and everything in between. I have fostered and adopted out multiple litters (including bottle fed babies) and I would love to help you take care of your babies!
“Caitlin is absolutely wonderful. I can not say enough good things about her and her services. So easy to work with, polite and punctual, a true blessing to our 2 month old Dalmatian. She gives him all the cuddles and attention he could ever want, and sends the best pictures of our little boy. I cant thank you enough Caitlin, you are a true blessing to our family!”
“Grace is very sweet. Our furbabies loved having her visit them. She is very respectful of our property and sent us pictures at every visit so we wouldn't miss them. I will definitely reach for her again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
About: I've worked at an animal hospital for 5 years and I have always had pets of my own. I have worked with newborn animals all the way to senior animals. I need a days notice at the very least but I'm pretty available all week. If I'm needed after 1:30pm my daughter would most likely be with me though. I have a fenced in yard so currently my dogs free roam the yard when they are not inside but I also know how to leash walk dogs as well
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t thank Claire enough for the amazing care she gave my three cats over the past 8 weeks! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she truly love animals. Each of my cats has their own personality, and Claire took the time to connect with all of them — even my shy one came out for cuddles every visit! Her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell the cats were happy, well-fed, and totally spoiled with attention. The litter boxes were completely changed many times and everything done exactly as I asked. It’s not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pets, but Claire is that person. I came home to three relaxed, happy kitties — the best sign of all. I’m so grateful for the care and love she put into every visit and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend! 🐾💜🐾”
“Isabella did a lovely job taking care of our kitties! The highlight of our evening was getting the photos and videos when we were away. Will definitely rebook her again:)”
“She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“This is my second time having Vanessa look after my cat while I was away, and just like before, she did a great job. She always sends me updates with pictures of him, and let’s me know his litter has been scooped and that he’s been fed. My cat, while affectionate, is a shy guy who’s slow to warm up to people, and I can tell she does a great job respecting his boundaries and giving him attention on his terms. Thanks, Vanessa! 🙏🏻”
About: I am considering specializing in feline medicine and I am finishing my veterinary student degree, so you can trust me. I also have the most spoiled Carribean cat named Mooshak that I have trained. He is 7 years old and converted me from the dog to the cat side.

“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Great communication during the booking process and during the daycare stay. Lauryn sent several pictures and videos and Moose had fun and was happy when we picked him up. I would book again!”
“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Daniella is probably the most responsive, compassionate, and attentive Dog sitter. She sends so many updates and communicates constantly Our dog is SUPER high energy and she is absolutely dead when we pick her up after a day at Daniella’s.”
“I had a church event to attend, but my plans for my dog Gibbs didn't work out. I reached out to Ryan for last-minute daycare, and he responded within 15 minutes saying he could take care of him for the day. I dropped Gibbs off and felt very at ease knowing he was with Ryan. Throughout the day, I received seven updates and pictures showing how Gibbs was doing. When I picked him up, he seemed happy and had been well looked after. I'm planning to drop Gibbs off again in two days. This is the second occasion that Ryan and his family have taken care of my dog, Gibbs. When I got there to drop him off, Ryan came out to greet him, and Gibbs was thrilled to see him. Throughout the day, I received both pictures and a video showing the fun he was having with the family's dogs. I believe that Gibbs really enjoys his time with Ryan and his family. He always seems joyful when I come to pick him up. I can easily tell he has had an exciting day since he sleeps very soundly at night.”
“took great care of my dog and was easy to communicate with, even when I didn't have service often in the national park. Provided photo updates and was willing to meet me to drop off my dog along my route. 100% reccomend”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.

About: Hi! I’m Anna! I am willing to take care of everything your pet/s may need from exercise, to controlling a situation the best way possible if your pet/s have anxiety or medical issues.

I realize this is a big responsibility and I will make sure you feel safe with me caring for your animal/s.I have experience with bunnies too! I’ll treat your animals the same way I treat mine, thanks for reading.

I am respectful of clients homes and leave them in better condition than when I initially enter them. I’ll vacuum or sweep if you’d like, I don’t mind at all.

About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.
About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Harlie has been a godsend! She came over to meet Rocket the day before his first walk to meet him and learn his little routine. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have lived with and cared for 1 to 3 dogs my entire life! I have cared for dogs of varying breeds ranging from puppies and small dogs all the way to a 150+ pound Great Dane. I have two pups: an extremely friendly almost 3 year old re-homed golden doodle and a rambunctious 10 month old mixed breed rescue. I have lived with and/or cared for a Great Dane, husky/malamute, boxer, pitbull mixes, chow chow mix, among many others. I’ve dealt with resource guarding, have experience with senior care, and am excellent with basic command training. I would love to meet your pups and help make their lives even more enriching! I am currently doing freelance work from home as well as working at a restaurant. My schedule varies a bit week to week, but I usually have plenty of time for drop in visits and walks! I am happy to come to your home and follow whatever routine works for your furry friend. I can take dogs on walks in nearby parks or drive them somewhere if they’re comfortable in cars!
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: I run a horse farm so I am very used to medicating, excercising, and caring for animals. My hours are very flexible so I can provide many drop in visits and house sitting nights. I have owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I love walking in the park, taking dogs to dinner, and ensuring that all of the dogs and cats I care for are healthy and happy. I am self employed so it is pretty easy to plan my dog sitting schedule to work with my work schedule. I’m around animals so often I know that my schedule is truly dictated by their schedule. I have a fenced yard that is 4 board fencing with no climb on the inside so should work for all sizes of dogs. My dog is extremely friendly either way all dogs as well.

If you're looking for someone with lots of experience look no further!! I guarantee you're fur baby will be in safe hands. :) I model my entire schedule off of my animals! And yours too! As of right now this will be my full time job, so I can be anywhere at anytime!

About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember. These loving, sweet members of our families deserve only the best care. I have been pet sitting and walking for a few years off and on. I also volunteer at Young Williams Animal Shelter so I interact with all kinds of different sweet animals often. I have 1 cat and 1 dog right now, both are my babies that I love dearly. I also am working through the process of getting my dog training certification so I can further my training and education on these sweet animals! I hope you will consider me to be your pet sitter and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student so I do have classes, but I have no classes Tuesday and Thursdays and I have lots of free time during the day! I love animals so I thought this would be a fantastic way to spend my time on the side! Your pets safety is the upmost priority when considering pet sitting. I only do in home sitting because I want to ensure it is the care is to your standards. I also do have means of travel if dog parks were an interest, and I have a seat attachment for all sized dogs to keep them from moving all around the car!
About: I'm a veterinarian out due to an injury. Missing the interactions with fur babies! I'm slowly getting back to work but until I'm full time again I'd like to help people out by caring for their beloved pets! I will treat them as my own and communicate with the owners as often as they want! No animal is off limits! They will be in great hands. I'm home most of the time aside from occasional doctors appointments and occasionally work shifts (currently very part time) I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself. Other than working with animals as a veterinarian, my own pets are a full time job. They bring me such joy and entertainment. Even as an adult, if I pass someone with a pet I will always stop to ask to pet it. I'm extremely detail oriented. I'm always observing behavior and their regular routine. If something seems off I will address it and communicate it immediately. My love for animals is my life's work.
About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.
“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”

“Lauryn provides excellent care for Charli! I especially appreciate the updates and pictures she sends, which always give me peace of mind while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and truly treats Charli like family. Lauryn also goes above and beyond to accommodate travel plans and scheduling needs, which I greatly appreciate. I always know Charli is safe, happy, and well cared for when she’s with Lauryn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”

“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

“Daniella was great. She took Gigi last minute as we were traveling to NC to TN. She communicated the entire time and send picture/video updates. She also gave tips on how we could train her when we picked her up. She was extremely informative and communicative.”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“We were very happy with our experience leaving our girl with Viviana and Brian. We received numerous pictures of her daily and it was obvious she was a happy, well cared for girl. Viviana is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We have already booked Brooklyn’s next stay with them!”
“Rachel was the best while I away for almost over a week! She was so accommodating and communicative about Willow's stay and was even willing to go the extra mile for her care and well being. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is communicative and thoughtful! She sent my pictures throughout the day which was greatly appreciated. My dog has some separation anxiety but was comfortable staying with Emily and her family!”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.
“Very responsive and proactive with sending pictures/walking Stanley to give us peace of mind. Very thankful and appreciative of Joseph’s help. Our dog seemed very comfortable and happy with his care!”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Trey was AWESOME! Presley left his house looking super happy as she got to hang out with dogs all week! Trey also shared updates with us daily and some fun photos for us to enjoy. We will definitely be using Trey for any future trips :)”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
