“Our dog took to Joan immediately and we picked up a happy fur baby. The regular updates with pics (including holiday-themed) were much appreciated. Everything was cleaned and ready to go when we arrived. Jasper will be back to enjoy time with Joan. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Maggie was so comfortable staying with Paul and his family. Highly recommend! We appreciate them loving on her so much, communicating regularly, and being attentive. Will definitely utilize them again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“Ashley was amazing! Our dog loved her and her pups. She did a great job sending pictures and we knew our dog was in great hands! Highly recommend Ashley! This was our first experience with Rover and she was wonderful!”
“Caillynn was fantastic! She took amazing care of Maggie for me while I was gone for the holidays. She sent lots of updates and pictures to let me know how Maggie was doing her stay. Will definitely be rebooking with her again.”
“What a pleasant experience! This was our first time boarding our cat Clovis. Devin and Delisa were the best! Clovis got the best care and I got the best feedback while away! I super recommend them and will be booking with them next time for sure! Thank you so much!”
“Kaylee was amazing! Constantly kept me updated and sent so many pics! I felt so comfortable and felt like my pet was taken such great care of. Definitely will be rebooking!”
“Lucas was great! He was accommodating, kind, and Mia seemed super happy to have Lucas’s dog as a friend ❤️Also had a backyard where the dogs could run in and out of the house. Thanks!”
“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic! She really showed care while taking care of our cats! It was a huge relief knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town for so long.”

I was also very pleased and surprised that Melissa had cleaned the cat food dishes and spoons! Very nice!”
About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! Our cat loves attention and she seems to have a great time when Ashely comes by for a visit while we are away. She does a great job updating us with pictures and keeping us updated on how Luna is doing. We highly recommend booking Ashley for any and all pet care needs!”
“The two cats greatly appreciate the clean litter boxes and the food bowls filled up. They appreciate the treats as well. They are taken well care of while we are out of town.”
About: I understand that every cat has a unique personality and different needs. Some cats are affectionate and love attention, playtime, and cuddles, while others prefer their space and can be a little more independent- or even a bit sassy! No matter their personality, my goal is always to make your cat feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats and know the importance of respecting their routines, boundaries, and preferences. I will adapt my care, behavior, and schedule to meet your cat’s specific needs, whether that means providing lots of companionship or simply giving them the space they prefer. I treat every cat with patience, kindness, and understanding so they can feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in their own home.
About: Over the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to the lifelong care of my two dogs, gaining an intimate understanding of canine development from puppyhood through their senior years. This journey has fostered a deep-seated passion for pet advocacy and specialized care. Whether meticulously managing Cookie’s daily medical regimen for allergies or providing a steady, reassuring presence for Snowball’s anxiety, I approach every unique need with unwavering patience and heart. I am committed to bringing this same level of attentive, high-standard care to your pets, ensuring their health and emotional well-being are always the top priority. I work full-time remote so I can care for your pets almost on a 24/7 basis guaranteeing that they are looked after. I can take breaks whenever as needed, so I can fully tailor to your pets' potty schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for your pets to freely roam outside. While inside, we don't restrict any area from pets. We have two dogs to keep your pets company.
About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶
“Lisa was a great sitter for our girl!!! She took the time to understand all food, litter, and personality needs. Plus she was easy to work with, prompt, and communicative. We could tell when we got home our cat had been well taken care of. She came in clutch for the holiday season. I would highly recommend Lisa and would love to have her drop-in again in the future!!”
“We’re so pleased with Stephanie’s reliable and attentive care of our kitties. We have a senior lady who needs medication morning and night, and Stephanie did a great job with all the details, keeping us updated with messages and photos after each visit. It was great to know our girls were in good hands, and we would definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“I'm more than happy with Kelli! Despite the weather and holiday she showed up early every morning to take care of my cat. I definitely recommend her and hope she's available the next time I need a sitter!”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
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. :)
“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. 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.”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing care for my fur baby!! Lisa sent me daily updates on her long stay, kept Ellie entertained and seemed to never be bored!! Thank you Lisa for watching my baby and taking care of her perfectly!! We will be returning ☺️”
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.
“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.”
“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Denise! I’ve been caring for pets for 22 years, from energetic pups and curious cats to gentle seniors. I’m reliable, patient, and adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, medications, or quiet companionship, I make sure your furry family feels safe and loved — and you’ll always get updates for peace of mind! 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 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
“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”
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 frequent potty breaks, walks, 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, 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.

“Hannah has been great since the first day she started! She loves the dogs and she gets them out for nice walks while I am unable to walk them. She shows up at the agreed upon time and is very reliable! Hannah is definitely a great dog walker.”
About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.
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.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with cats, a St. Bernard, as well as farm animals including cows and chickens, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities from an early age. Today, I’m a proud cat person with four cats of my own and a very loved granddog who keeps me active and reminds me how important daily walks and attention are for happy, healthy dogs. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re out of town, whether that means drop-in visits, staying with them, or making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always happy pets and peace of mind for their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide reliable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and giving each visit the time and care every animal deserves. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect your home, keeping spaces clean and secure while sending updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Elle is the very best! Conscientious and loving towards our cranky old dog, she won him over and we all are so sad to see her go onto bigger and better things! (Especially Woody!) Thanks Elle! You rock and deserve only the highest of praise! I give you SIX stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I love all dogs and genuinely care about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. In addition to caring for my family’s and friends’ pets, I previously worked for a professional pet care company that was fully insured and highly rated by clients. In that role, I was trusted with clients’ home keys, cared for pets in their homes, and maintained the high standards expected of a professional pet sitter. This experience taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every pet and home with respect. I love going on walks, playing in the yard, and giving plenty of cuddles and attention. I have a toy Cavapoo puppy of my own, so I am also comfortable caring for puppies and understand that they often require extra patience, supervision, and specialized care. I also have two large dog “nephews and nieces” that I regularly spend time with, so I am comfortable handling and genuinely enjoy dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds. While dogs are my specialty, I also have experience with cats and previously lived with one, making me comfortable caring for feline friends as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space. I make every effort to leave your home exactly as I found it by keeping things clean and tidy, turning off lights, locking doors, and following any household instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved furry family member! I am currently in a doctorate program, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the entire week. Because my schedule varies, I am often available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and other pet care needs at different times of the day. I am a naturally spontaneous and adaptable person, so working with changing schedules is something I genuinely enjoy. I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs and will work with you to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care whenever it is needed. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience. While caring for your pet, I will treat your home with the same care and consideration that I would my own. I make an effort to maintain a clean environment, clean up after myself and your pet, secure doors and windows, and follow any household instructions you provide. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks just as you left it, or exactly as you would expect it to be.
About: I have owned four dogs and five cats growing up and love animals! I find joy in caring for animals and I’m a happy hard worker! I recently moved and would love to work in my new area:) I currently work a flexible part-time job, so my hours are changing often. However, I respond quickly to confirm my availability to assist you and your fur babies! I will treat any animal like my own and will always be vigilant and knowledgeable about their safety while they are under my personal care!
About: Hi, I’m David, a dog lover based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I believe every dog deserves more than just a quick walk around the block. Whether we’re exploring a local trail, enjoying a neighborhood walk, or spending time playing and relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I enjoy volunteering with dog outing programs and have discovered that working with dogs is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra affection, I’ll provide the care and companionship they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and working with animals. I schedule my day to ensure each pet receives individualized attention, exercise, companionship, and consistent care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended stay, I make reliability and punctuality a priority so pets can maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. In a client’s home, I strive to maintain a calm, familiar environment and follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to the pet’s behavior and surroundings, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Stephanie is awesome with our pooch Maya. Maya gets so excited to see her and now starts waiting by the gate when she knows it's time for her walk. Would recommend Stephanie time and time again.”
About: I have helped care for friends and family animals for the last several years. I adopted a fur baby of my own early January 2020. I work from home and can provide walks throughout the day. The flexibility of working from home allows time to care and engage with your fur baby. My neighborhood is dog friendly with a fenced in dog park and walking path. It’s a wonderful place to let out energy. I have a 5 year old cockapoo, Maggie, who gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy keeping your fur baby company. I love all animals and will treat yours as my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to help care for their beloved four-legged friends for years, so I know I can care for yours with as much love as I'd give my own. I've had my own little girl live with me even while at college and I know how important they can be to us. I’m comfortable with all size furry friends! I am currently a medical student, so I have early morning, sometimes lunch, or evening availability to take care of your loved ones. I am also available on most weekends. I have an electric fence at my home, but my dogs are trained well enough that they can often be let out without worry. If I am watching your fur baby, I will provide one-on-one attention and treat them as my own.
About: My dogs are my family. With so many years of experience, you can feel comfortable that your dog is well taken care of and loved while you focus on other important priorities like work, kids, vacation, etc! I am a stay at home mom who needs to get out of the house and make extra cash. What better way to do that then by spending time with your dog?! I have two pups (English setter and lab) who I am home with all day. One is crate trained and the other is free to roam the house (I don’t quite trust the ES puppy yet lol). I am able to provide care specific to your dogs needs.
About: Hello! I have taken care of 3 dogs of my own and have worked with all ages and types of breeds. I live in a two floor home with a small yard area. I am a full time teacher but have most availability on the weekends, after school and in the summer! I am flexible with days and times as well as having a car to drive anywhere needed! The house is always kept clean and I allow dogs on the furniture. I am more than happy to text and call updates whenever you need to hear! I have trails for taking the dogs on walks. I have had amazing clients that I still work with who can share more about my trustworthiness with pets! I would love to host your dog and give them a fun and relaxing vacation with me! I am currently a full time teacher but I make time to dog sit when I am home from work or on the weekend. I make it a priority if I have a client who needs me services! I am currently on summer break and have more time to devote to dog watching! In my current home I have space for the dog to roam. I have a water bowl if needed for the dog as well. I allow the dogs on the couch’s if that is a preference! If I am in a clients home, I am very respectful and devote my attention to the dogs needs. I will leave the place as I have found it and I will make sure to check in with the owner if there are any issues.
“If your dog craves exercise, then Alex is the dog walker for you. She is easy to work with and always on time picking up and dropping off my dog. No issues. Tired dog makes for a very relaxed evening.”
About: I have worked with over 100 dogs in the past year and have great experience dealing with different personalities. I'm very motivated, experienced, proactive, and I enjoy working around all kinds of animals. I currently own two dogs, a cat, and a few other small animals. I can provide walks, baths, play time, feeding, and love while you're away on vacation. I hope to hear from you soon so we can set something up for you! Although I don’t work in animal rescue anymore, I do work from home which means I can check on your babies whenever you need me to! I have lots of experience working with dogs in a house sitting and can easily crate your dog and will go slow with them if need be.
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I understand the need for help when caring for your pets, and I would love to offer my help to make your lives a little easier and to ensure your pets are treated like family even when you're not around. I personally have my own dog and cat, and I know how it is leaving them when you are not around. I hope to bring comfort and ease of mind for you, knowing your fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I have occasionally helped neighbors and friends with their own. I am not scared to clean up messes and I have experience with administering oral and topical medications. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! In your own home, I will respect any rules you have for your pets and take care of your pet and your home as if it was my own. My schedule is very open and I am very flexible in working around your needs and schedule! I am in school but everything can be done remotely so I can stay home and hang with your pups! I make sure to keep a good eye on the pets, making sure they are safe and well taken care of. I want to bring comfort for your pets while you are away, loving them as my own! I will play with them if that’s what they like and also make sure to keep their routines as close to normal while you are away. I will also make sure to clean as we go and make sure when you return, you are returning to your home as you left it. I am more than willing to do chores around the house and also clean up after animals.

“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!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Maggie was so comfortable staying with Paul and his family. Highly recommend! We appreciate them loving on her so much, communicating regularly, and being attentive. Will definitely utilize them again.”
“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.”
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“Caillynn was fantastic! She took amazing care of Maggie for me while I was gone for the holidays. She sent lots of updates and pictures to let me know how Maggie was doing her stay. Will definitely be rebooking with her again.”
“Kaylee was amazing! Constantly kept me updated and sent so many pics! I felt so comfortable and felt like my pet was taken such great care of. Definitely will be rebooking!”
“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”
“This was our second time using Jordyn as a sitter. She has been super easy to work with and I can tell that my dog is in great hands! Ginger was so excited when we pulled in the driveway and could not get in the door fast enough which says a lot!!! Thank you!!!”
“Oso loves staying at Calebs! He had a great yard and other pups to play with which is Oso’s ideal situation. He always comes back tired and happy :) highly recommend!”
“Yu very responsive to emails Daily pics, and/or videos Harley enjoyed his stay with Yu. There is a big fenced in backyard for Halrey, and Yu's 2 dogs to play in. My dog has been in the shelter several times, and I like that Harley was able to roam freely, and not spend a lot of time locked up in a kennel. Yu's home provides that, along with the benefit of only boarding one dog at a time. Yu was very responsive to any messages I sent, and sent daily messages, pics, and/or videos. When Harley needs a place to stay in the future, Yu will be my first choice.”
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. :)
“Kos took my pups in on short notice over Easter weekend. I appreciate his willingness to help me out. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and that’s all I could ask for”
“Hanna was a great sitter! And, I feel lucky because I got into town where a dog-friendly hotel wouldn’t allow us to crate Jackpot if not present, on Memorial Day weekend! Jackpot had lots of fun playing with Hanna’s daughter in the backyard. I don’t think my pup wanted to leave!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog Mazie! She sent photos and videos which brought us comfort knowing she was in good hands while we were away. She was professional and accommodating.”
“Dani was awesome! Our pup Nimmy seemed to have a great time. I so appreciated Dani's constant communication -- we loved getting pics of our pup during her stay! Would definitely recommend and will book again!!”
