“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Gloria was wonderful! We needed boarding for our 8 year old pup, Barclay, with only a few days notice. Gloria took the time to get to know Barc and treated him like a member of her family. She provided daily pictures and updates; knowing he was safe and truly cared for made it so much easier to focus on travel.”
“Our pet was treated like one of the family! I was sent photos daily and had absolutely no concerns about how my dog was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again!”
“Trina was amazing!! My pups had the best time and were well taken care of! Trina was very responsive and send updates throughout their stay! I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Katie was great! She kept in touch with pictures and text updates each day. She has a big backyard for plenty of playtime and running around, which I know my dog loved. Definitely will use Katie again!”
“Mary is absolutely a fantastic dog watcher! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dog Gia. She was very easy to contact and provided daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Cash had a great time and didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up! Gabrielle gave plenty of updates during his stay and her dogs kept him very busy with constant play.”
“My dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay with Jenny. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts of how they were doing. Very satisfied with the care they received.”
“Thanks for taking care of our boy while we were away! Champ loved staying and playing with your other dogs. All the pictures made us feel better about being away from our boy.”
“My dog loves this home and the people. The last time I dropped her off, she literally darted to the sitter jumping etc so she is definitely happy and taken care of well by Lanelle.”

“Stephanie is wonderful and went above and beyond with our cats! She vacuumed, swept the floor and even washed out the food bowls so that we got home to a clean house and happy kitties!”
“Such peace of mind to have Candace on pup duty. I know she pampers her own babies and we see she treats the clients the same. While we were away I did not need to give a moment’s thought as to our dogs’ well-being. Greatly appreciated all the detailed updates on the report cards and the added photos that let us know they were getting their personalized attention. Highly recommend Candice!”
“Kayla was so great with my cat, Boo. She came over a few days in advance to meet the kitty who is usually super shy. After only one day of cat sitting, Boo was comfortable enough to come out of hiding and get some petting. I’d highly recommend Kayla!”
“Madeline was wonderful! She was very attentive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and kept us updated with pictures every visit, which made us feel very comfortable being away from our boys. We’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her!”

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another. on 07/27/2026 my Daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson will be living with me. If on your profile it doesn't show friendly with kids, I will reach out and see if having a 3 year old in the house will be in issue. I love animals and look forward to watching your fur babies.
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
“My dog loves staying with Jessica. She treats him like part of the family and makes homemade dog treats. He never wants to leave her house when we go pick him up from daycare.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. ***new info** We now have an outdoor pool with a doggy dock to help with entry and exit. The pool is available for any of my swimming pups, weather permitting. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
“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!”

“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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

We had fostered a friends dog until he was able to get onto his feet. Depending on the weather we love to go for walks, car rides, and of course lowes. I'm currently working part time and now more than ever it slows down to 2 days of work for me. I do have a younger son and we would love to play with your dog. Any size is welcomed. We do have a dog of our own and plenty of space to run around and play inside. I have plenty of space and a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup entertained. We do not have much of a yard but we do enjoy going for walks. I am a CNA and love to help people and of course animals as well. Anything I can do to make your pet feel comfortable and at home while your away is what I will do.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.
“Nikki has been amazing with my pup! She asses and gives suggestions and I can tell she really has a passion for dogs!!! I have enjoyed working with her and trust my puppy Chino is in great hands!! Hope to continue to work with her!”
About: I am an experienced caregiver with an upbeat, patient, and kind attitude. I love all types of pets and have absolutely no problem with any breed, species, or size. I am trustworthy and willing to supply you with references that reflect my excellent work ethic. I do not shy away from cleaning up after your pet and I have no problem administering medicine if need be. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet to the best of my ability. I am an avid animal lover with many years of experience caring for animals. I have no issue making my schedule work to accommodate an animal friend. For as long as I can remember there has been at least one dog living in my house. I love them and have a wonderful relationship with mine and my wife's pets.
About: I had a Bichon Frise from age of 8 to 19. I have taken care of my friend’s bulldog and golden doodle for a year or so and I have also dog sat wheaten doodles and labradors. I also volunteered at the ARL! I am a college student looking to spend some time with doggos! I work part time and volunteer but I have a pretty flexible schedule! I feel comfortable putting leashes and harnesses on dogs as well as letting into crates if needed! I feel comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and understand that some dogs just don’t like to be around others & I can respect and control that!
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals for most of my life. Grew up on a farm, so no stranger to anything! Confident enough to take care of the little and the big pets! I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep. I am happy to come to your place and take care of or stay with your pet. Will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I am new to Rover, but have been working with dogs/cats both in the veterinary field as vet tech, and Sitting for 8 years. In addition, I have owned dogs my whole life. I am *Fear-Free Certified* with a special interest in animal mental health, and making sure they feel calm and secure. I am skilled in reading body language and acting accordingly. I am also skilled at medication administration, oral or injectable. I have worked with dogs both in critical and emergency situations, and would be able to take the correct steps if an emergency were to occur. Historically, I have mainly worked with dogs and cats, but I am open to Sitting any species of any size. Along with my years of experience handling and caring for animals, I am an honest, passionate, and down-to-earth person, making me an excellent and efficient employee. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all the furry babies! I just moved to Tennessee from South Carolina and have a completely open schedule! I am looking forward to meeting new clientele. I can take walks any time of day and am free to Sit every day of the week. I only offer services through my clients' homes as I stay in an apartment. Pets are more comfortable this way, and can keep in their normal routine. Whether that be multiple walks a day, going to the park, or just relaxing in the back yard.
About: Hello all! I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life including horses, turtles, hamsters, and especially dogs and cats!

“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Gloria was wonderful! We needed boarding for our 8 year old pup, Barclay, with only a few days notice. Gloria took the time to get to know Barc and treated him like a member of her family. She provided daily pictures and updates; knowing he was safe and truly cared for made it so much easier to focus on travel.”
“Trina was amazing!! My pups had the best time and were well taken care of! Trina was very responsive and send updates throughout their stay! I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Cash had a great time and didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up! Gabrielle gave plenty of updates during his stay and her dogs kept him very busy with constant play.”
“Thanks for taking care of our boy while we were away! Champ loved staying and playing with your other dogs. All the pictures made us feel better about being away from our boy.”
“My dog loves this home and the people. The last time I dropped her off, she literally darted to the sitter jumping etc so she is definitely happy and taken care of well by Lanelle.”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
“Allyson and Tyler treated my Maddie girl like a member of their family!! They sent updates on her days and pictures! I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“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!!”
“This family took excellent care of our pup Blu. Their own dogs are well mannered and lovable! I enjoyed getting to meet them! I felt our meet and greet process was smooth. Nicole was thorough in making sure her pets and ours were comfortable with each other prior to boarding. I loved that Blu had a beautiful fenced in yard to explore and roam. You can tell this family cares so much about animals. I can’t wait to visit them again. ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
About: I have been blessed to have had dogs in my life forever, from silly Boston Terriers to couch potato Labs to high energy Vizslas. I have trained puppies, cared for ailing senior dogs, and gone on countless walks with energetic adult dogs. We have a large home and fenced in yard. Because my husband works from home full time, and I’m a homeschool mom, we’re always here with our pets. We’ll treat your dog like our own—playing outside, going on walks, snuggling on the couch. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where your dog can relax while you’re away, and you can rest assured that they are being loved and cared for. My husband works from home full time, and I am a stay at home mom and homeschool our five kids. We are always here with our pets, they are rarely left alone. We have a fenced in yard for our doggy friends to run and play in. We can take your dog for walks in our neighborhood or on the greenway by our house. We can crate dogs if needed. Your dogs are welcome on the furniture—our couches are used more by the dogs than by the humans in the house! We have a 4 year old chocolate Lab, Benson, who is a couch potato but enjoys playing with other dogs. He is very friendly and chill. He is neutered. We have 2 outgoing orange cats. They are used to dogs and kids and are very friendly. We have 5 young children who love our animals and help care for them. Because our kids are still small, we want to make sure every dog we watch is comfortable with children.
