“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
“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 is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
“My dog loves going to the “babysitter’s” house! She’s always well taken care of. Caleb has a great set up in his house and yard. His experience with animals is obvious.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our Harley with Jordyn and Marcus! They were so kind and welcoming, and our pup had a great time with them. Their home was nice, and the whole experience was convenient and stress-free. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be calling them again the next time we’re in Knoxville! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley kept on constant contact with us during our vacation and sent pics of Disco throughout ! We are so thankful for her care and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her services !”
“Colt (my dog) stayed with Joseph and his family for two nights. Joseph was great at communicating with me and very understanding regarding my dog’s separation anxiety issues. It was Colt’s very first board at a home. Needless to say, my husband and I ourselves were a little anxious! But Joseph was quick to reply and provided plenty of updates with photos. Joseph also asked plenty of questions regarding Colt’s care, which I feel is a shining example of his strive towards excellent care. 10/10 would book again! 😊”
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
“Highly recommend Victoria and Charles. They sent us pictures of Rex showing he was very calm and relaxed and enjoying his time at their house. We loved being able to visit before we chose them to watch our little guy to see how well they all got along. Perfect! House and fenced backyard add to the safe, warm experience.”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”

“My cat, Ruby, was very well taken care of while I had to be out of town! She gets super anxious while I'm gone, but I could tell by the pictures Melissa sent that she was getting lots of love. I was also very pleased and surprised that Melissa had cleaned the cat food dishes and spoons! Very nice!”
“Elle was absolutely amazing! Phenomenal communication the entire time and very detailed updates. Elle went above and beyond to take care of Kafka, and followed my detailed instructions to the letter.”
“Kristen took excellent care of my cats. She has a calm, friendly presence, and my cats responded very well to her. All three, especially the two Ragdolls, are very attached and tend to follow people around like little puppies, and they were clearly comfortable with her.”
“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Elizabeth was great! I contacted her on really short notice and she was able to work with me on when I needed her to check in on my cats. She did everything I asked and was a great help! Thanks again!”
About: Hello, my name is Savanna. I have just moved to the area for school. I am a doctoral student in Physical Therapy at LMU. I have owned several dogs throughout my life, including Miniature Schnauzers, Old English Bulldogs, and multiple Labrador Retrievers. Unfortunately, I had to leave my family dogs behind for school. My passion for dogs extends beyond my own pets; I have also taken care of other people's dogs and worked as a Veterinary Technician. With a few years of experience in pet care, I've helped several families by looking after one to three dogs at a time. I typically offered house visits or stayed overnight to ensure the dogs felt as comfortable as possible in their own spaces. Due to school, I am currently not working, and I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever you need me. I'm currently a student, and I do not work. Since I am a full-time student, I have time around my classes to check in on your fur babies. Usually, I am free for the day around 3pm. I stay in an apartment complex, which is gated. We have plenty of yard space, as well as a trail within the courtyard. The complex is pet friendly with doggy bags available and a fenced dog park. I do not own my own pets, nor do I have kids. I am open to house visits at the client's home as well, which I believe might be easier for the pet.
“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!”
“1st time using Haley and rover. My boys are everything and leaving them always scares me esp bc 1 of then is diabetic and need insulin and the recommended feeding regime. Haley did great with them and sent me pics of the boys and was available to chat when I got home for my check in. Will be using her on a permanent basis.”
“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.”
About: I have grown up with cats and have been around them for as long as I can remember. Caring for them has always been second nature to me, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I'm happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats, and I'm comfortable administering oral medications and following any special care instructions. I'll treat your cat as if they were my own, keep their routine consistent, and send daily updates with plenty of photos so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your cat with the personalized, compassionate care they deserve.
“Ashley was amazing! She stopped by before the visits to meet and to get information about the cats and process. She is very nice and she took a great care of our two cats. I highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for checking on Wren!! We had a family emergency and had to travel asap! Julia was very understanding and down to earth. Wren was so happy to see us when we got back and I had peace of mind that she was looked after while we were gone.”
“Stephanie is super professional and responsive. I was able to relax on our first trip away from our newly adopted cat after seeing how attentive she was during our intro call (took notes!) and first meeting. It’s a relief knowing she’s in the neighborhood.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”
About: 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. :)
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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: I have had Chihuahuas, med-poodle mix, and Maltese dogs, so I prefer small to medium size dogs. I am very careful with dogs, so I will make sure they are happy and safe. I am at home all day with my papillon-poodle mix, so I have extra time to care for your "baby". He or she can play in my fenced in back yard, and we can take walks around our very calm neighborhood. My dog is almost 1 yr old, so very friendly and playful. I have a fenced in back yard and covered patio, so if they prefer playing outside, there is a safe area. My home is mostly carpet. I have a large portable pen if needed for extra supervision. My neighborhood is great for taking walks.
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
“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!”
“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”

“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: 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.
“She saved me yesterday I was called into work and she went to walk glide. Now glide is not easy to be walked he gets scared, he pulls and tugs, etc and she was patient with glide. She will be walking him again this morning I think I found my new favorite person for glide.”
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.
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’m more than happy to accommodate my services to your pet’s individual needs! If they need extra cuddles or more space, that’s what they’ll get!
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.

I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention so pet parents can feel confident while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care.

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: Hi there! My boyfriend and I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and we’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and to me, pets are family—no exceptions. Caring for animals is my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or training sessions, I love spending quality time making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I also understand how to build trust with new pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Their well-being is my top priority, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love and attention as my own. I have two dogs who I adore taking on walks, and I honestly feel like it’s almost a crime to go to the park or beach without them! They get multiple walks throughout the day, and on weekends, we love going for hikes. During the weekdays, we visit local parks or dog parks for some fresh air and exercise. When caring for pets, I prioritize attention, activity, and comfort. For example, I recently boarded an energetic young dog overnight. After feeding him the food his owner provided, my boyfriend and I took him to the dog park, where he had a blast running around and socializing for an hour. Afterward, we walked him alongside my dog to help him settle in. At home, I made him a cozy bed in our room, played with him, and showered him with pets and attention to ease any anxiety about being away from his owners. By the end of the night, he insisted on sleeping in bed with us—exception granted! What You Can Expect: ✔️ Daily Walks & Exercise – All dogs go on multiple walks, and weekend stays include a dog park or hiking trip. ✔️ Plenty of Play & Attention – Whether your pet loves to play or just cuddle, I make sure they feel at home. ✔️ Feeding & Special Care – Pets are fed in the morning and around dinner time (or as per your instructions). ✔️ Safe & Comfortable Stay – Dogs are welcome to sleep in my room, but they’re free to find their own cozy spot. ✔️ Cat-Friendly Care – Cats can roam freely, receive fresh litter changes every 1-2 days, and even get a warm cloth bath if needed. I open my home to your pets as if it were their own—it’s always a joy to have them around! I’d love to learn more about your pet’s needs and personality. Let’s chat! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. My beagle gets regular walks throughout the day, ensuring plenty of exercise and fresh air. On weekends, we love going on hikes or visiting the park for extra adventure and playtime. With my flexible routine, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means scheduled walks, play sessions, or extra cuddle time! Pets in my home are treated like family. My dog, Knox, spends his days napping in his favorite spot, chewing on a bone, or playing hide-and-seek with me. Our apartment is calm and quiet, making it a comfortable space for pets to relax. When Knox isn’t resting, we’re out on walks or enjoying some playtime. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention, ensuring they feel safe and at home!
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.

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 is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
“My dog loves going to the “babysitter’s” house! She’s always well taken care of. Caleb has a great set up in his house and yard. His experience with animals is obvious.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our Harley with Jordyn and Marcus! They were so kind and welcoming, and our pup had a great time with them. Their home was nice, and the whole experience was convenient and stress-free. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be calling them again the next time we’re in Knoxville! Highly recommend!”
“Colt (my dog) stayed with Joseph and his family for two nights. Joseph was great at communicating with me and very understanding regarding my dog’s separation anxiety issues. It was Colt’s very first board at a home. Needless to say, my husband and I ourselves were a little anxious! But Joseph was quick to reply and provided plenty of updates with photos. Joseph also asked plenty of questions regarding Colt’s care, which I feel is a shining example of his strive towards excellent care. 10/10 would book again! 😊”
“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!”
“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.”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Caillyn had great communication and her house and land is perfect for a hyper puppy like mine! She was so sweet and went above and beyond to keep Harley safe and happy.”
“Really nice and caring sitter. Our flight got delayed and had to extend Bubble’s stay for an extra day. Hanna was really considerate about all this and took great care of Bubble.”
“Jessica was incredibly responsive throughout our dogs stay. She sent multiple photos and messages while taking excellent care of our dog! Our dog had to take some medication that Jessica was familiar with and that she was able to give to our dog with ease. Will be booking again!!”
“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.”
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. :)
“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”
“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.”
“Meredith and her partner are absolutely AMAZING. We are so glad we found them. We haven't left our dogs in over 2 years and decided to finally take a trip without the dogs, and I didn't worry at all. After our meet and greet, my husband and I said...."they speak dog" and they really do! They understand dog communication and their needs and are very attentive. They went above and beyond for our dogs, sent updates with photos, are very kind and reliable. We will absolutely hire them again over and over.”
