“Shawna, does an excellent job with my two little girls. Today is one of their birthdays. She celebrated her birthday with her rounded by her wonderful family. It meant everything to me. I’ve been in the hospital and the fact that Shawna steps up to the plate for every special need, just proves to me that they’re in the right place and I will never take them anywhere else. Thank you, Shawna, for all you do.”
“Brooke and her family are excellent caregivers for our dog. They love him and treat him as their own. He’s very anxious and it is so nice knowing he will be well loved when we are away!”
“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! I had a cross-country move during which everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. Krystal was compassionate and flexible, and the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether Max was safe and well cared for. He is a city cat, so he gained a new appreciation for chicken watching, and her kiddos kept him snuggled and loved. They are a good distance from my new home, but I will make the trip for Krystal to keep him when I go out of town. She and her family were a true blessing when I needed help caring for Max. I will always be grateful.”
“Kristy was amazing with my 2 poodles. They are 4 years old and have never stayed somewhere else or been without us overnight. Kristy sent many pictures and updated us often. I will feel comfortable now leaving them with Kristy.”
“Wonderful experience for Scout and for us. Lots of green space, great indoor accommodations and lots of TLC. Sitter sent pics everyday. Would highly recommend. Only only negative was location..,narrow one-lane road and a little distance from destinations… but not a big deal.”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Angie took great care of Finn! She provided daily pictures, belly rubs and responsible care for my boy! She was easy to work with and she had a young dog of her own that kept my boy busy constantly! Just what he needs! She also provided monitored time outdoors to keep him happy! Thank you!”
“Always a pleasure leaving Jake with Lauryn and Kadabra. They really get along and I constantly get updates on him throughout his stay. I will most certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you!!”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician so I am professionally trained to know how to take care of your animals especially if there is an emergency! I currently work full time at Lincoln Memorial University. I can only do weekends because of my schedule, but I can also see what I can do to help during the week! I do not have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been trained to stay in the yard. I have 3 dogs, they are younger and very playful. I also have 3 cats. Even though I do not have a fence, I can offer walks in the yard or walking up and down the road and put them on the leash while they use the bathroom. I have a whole room dedicated for the animals where they can stay unless they are kept uncaged then they can have free roam of the house.
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
“Cassy was absolutely awesome. Very efficient and quick to respond. Kept in touch with us the entire stay sending videos and pics of our baby. She will be my go to every time we visit.”
“Our second time leaving our pup with Miss Jenny! She is great! We receive lots of pics and videos to see our baby while we’re away. It definitely makes being away a little easier knowing he’s in good hands with her. He also gets a lot of good socialization with other dogs. He always has a blast!! Thanks Jenny! See you next time!! 🥰”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
“Emily is the best! She takes such great care of my pup and is so flexible! I truly appreciate how much time and energy she gives to making sure my bulldog has the best experience possible when she is with him. Highly recommend!”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Actually the best dog sitter i've had. She kept me updated on my dog's and sent pictures so i could see them . Definitely Recommend her if you easily stress about your fur babies.”

“Makayla was FANTASTIC!! Our boys did GREAT!! My older dog had been struggling at the kennel level regardless of what we tried. He fell in LOVE with her, which never happens as he isnt much for people anymore. I actually feel like I can enjoy some time away and not be so concerned about my fur babies. I will be booking again soon!!!!! Makayla, you are AMAZING!!!!”
“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and to be honest I was a little nervous, but Vanessa made the process so easy! She was attentive, responsive, and sent lots of photos of my cat while I was away. I would strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind sitter!”
“Abi was terrific! Very quick in responses and great with all her communications. She did a fantastic job and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I am definitely going to be using her services again!”
“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”
“Jataelynn is an awesome pet sitter! She went above and beyond to watch my cat Alfred while I was away for a week. She was quick to respond to messages and sent frequent updates. I would highly recommend her!”
“I cannot recommend Anna enough to anyone needing a pet sitter! She’s friendly, professional, prompt, and exceeded our expectations. I can be over the top when it comes to updates on my Persian kitty, and she knew just the right times to check in with pics to set my mind at ease. It was such a breath of fresh air to come home to a clean house and happy baby girl. Anna kept our little timid scaredy cat over the 4th of July- I honestly didn’t expect to come home to our cat relaxing as if we never left. We came crashing through the door with our luggage and commotion and our cat was just sitting calmly like- “oh, you’re back 🙄” It was a nice change from arrangements we had made for her in the past where she seemed somewhat traumatized from our being away. I highly suggest Anna and her adorable family for your pet sitting needs and will be referring her to my friends and family as well.”
About: Worked for a vet in Boca Raton for 5 years. Started my own pet sitting job after that. My husband recently passed and could use the extra income. I am working part time but not making enough money. I will quit my part time job to take care of the pets fulltime. Thanks I won't be taking care of pets in my home. I have a older pug and 3 cats. I have a very small apartment also.
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”
“Oh my goodness Megan C. Is the best! She took wonderful care of our cats and respected our home over our week long vacation. She communicated with us about the important and not important details of her visits. We came home to 2 very happy cats, clean litter boxes, a beautiful note and pictures of our babies while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again whether it’s for just a day or another 8 day getaway!”
“Cy Cy, my cat, is a bit skittish and this was the first time we left her with a sitter. We had only been in Gatlinburg for a few hours when Frances sent a couple of pics of Cy Cy. She was on her back sleeping, just like she does at home, so she evidently felt safe. I really appreciate her care and anytime I need a sitter she will be my first call.”
“Ravynne was so sweet and kind, she communicated very well and took great care of our babies while we were gone! She kept us informed of any and every change or concern with the pets and even cleaned up some messes! 10/10 recommend!!”
About: I’ve devoted my life to animals, caring for many friends' and family members’ pets through house sitting, walking, and feeding them.

About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours of experience volunteering in the community, which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Elsa loved staying with Brooke and I felt so much at ease having her there while I was away. I appreciate Brooke working with my schedule during my long day shifts.”
“Megan was amazing with Benji! She really cared and Benji warmed up to her right away. While we were gone, she kept us updated with check-ins and photos. It was clear that Benji had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and was well cared for by Megan and her family. She is reliable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs. I’d definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pup!”
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

About: My name is Stephanie, I'm a mom of 3 and work as a Fire Direction Specialist in the Army!

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I knew early on that working with them was where I belonged. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing general care to keep animals happy, healthy, and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that’s been a natural part of my life since childhood. ⭐ Special Skills • Medication trained and comfortable administering oral and topical treatments • Experienced with bathing, feeding, and maintaining consistent care routines • Skilled in cleaning, sanitation, and keeping pet areas safe and tidy • Strong leash‑handling experience with dogs of all sizes • Familiar with animal behavior, body language, and stress signals • Comfortable caring for high‑energy, large‑breed, and small‑breed pets • Kennel‑experienced with structured routines and caring for multiple animals at once I’m an online full‑time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. Because I study remotely, I’m able to build my day around pet care — feeding, walks, drop‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable. Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free. Even though pets won’t be staying here, the same level of structure, cleanliness, and attention carries over into the care I provide for your pets in their own home. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow your routines closely to keep everything familiar and comfortable. I handle feeding, litter or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any cleaning needed to keep their space tidy. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior. I also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.

I have cared for neighbors' and family members' newborn puppies and senior dogs. I can give medication, feed, and transport your pets to your specifications, and most of all I love animals! I am a student at UT Knoxville! Typically I have class from around 8am-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri, and 2-4pm Tuesday/Thursday. My schedule is very flexible, so I can check on or care for pets during that time! I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and various pets for years, and can't wait to care for yours too! I can give doses of medication if necessary, feed 3+ times a day, and I know the importance of staying hydrated, so I will always keep the water bowl full! Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm able to follow your instructions and routine to keep your beloved companions safe, comfortable and secure. I believe the familiar environment of their home is the best place while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
“Lucy was great! She came over to meet my dogs before the day she would be coming to pet sit. One of my dogs has been known to be afraid of strangers when we're not home. She was able to give both of my dogs potty breaks and she updated me when she was finished at my house. 5 stars!!”

“Brooke and her family are excellent caregivers for our dog. They love him and treat him as their own. He’s very anxious and it is so nice knowing he will be well loved when we are away!”
“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”
“Kristy was amazing with my 2 poodles. They are 4 years old and have never stayed somewhere else or been without us overnight. Kristy sent many pictures and updated us often. I will feel comfortable now leaving them with Kristy.”
“Wonderful experience for Scout and for us. Lots of green space, great indoor accommodations and lots of TLC. Sitter sent pics everyday. Would highly recommend. Only only negative was location..,narrow one-lane road and a little distance from destinations… but not a big deal.”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Angie took great care of Finn! She provided daily pictures, belly rubs and responsible care for my boy! She was easy to work with and she had a young dog of her own that kept my boy busy constantly! Just what he needs! She also provided monitored time outdoors to keep him happy! Thank you!”
“Always a pleasure leaving Jake with Lauryn and Kadabra. They really get along and I constantly get updates on him throughout his stay. I will most certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you!!”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
“Cassy was absolutely awesome. Very efficient and quick to respond. Kept in touch with us the entire stay sending videos and pics of our baby. She will be my go to every time we visit.”
“Our second time leaving our pup with Miss Jenny! She is great! We receive lots of pics and videos to see our baby while we’re away. It definitely makes being away a little easier knowing he’s in good hands with her. He also gets a lot of good socialization with other dogs. He always has a blast!! Thanks Jenny! See you next time!! 🥰”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
“Emily is the best! She takes such great care of my pup and is so flexible! I truly appreciate how much time and energy she gives to making sure my bulldog has the best experience possible when she is with him. Highly recommend!”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Actually the best dog sitter i've had. She kept me updated on my dog's and sent pictures so i could see them . Definitely Recommend her if you easily stress about your fur babies.”
“These were the perfect people for our dog. Our pup is only 9 months old and has separation anxiety. They were so patient with her and sent us pictures every day. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Trey and his fiancé are amazing! Super responsive and flexible. My dog is a pretty anxious guy, but he fit right in and clearly had a great time—he was worn out when we got home and just went right back to his normal routine. I’d absolutely bring my dog back if needed!”
“Elexis was amazing!! From the get go they communicated well and eased my mind when it came to knowing my pup was in good hands!! At the end of his boarding I could tell that he had an amazing stay!! So much love for this sitter!!”
