“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.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Victoria and Charles were kind and welcoming as always and Buttercup always leaves their place so happy. They are lovely and treat my baby like their own. I can't thank them enough ❤️”
“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Maddie took very good care of our dog Cooper. She was very attentive and made sure Cooper’s needs were met. She also sent us photos of Cooper playing with other dogs. We will use her again next time we need to board him.”
“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.”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Viviana is amazing with my dogs. I’ve used her several times now. They get so excited when we pull in the driveway. I love getting pictures from her throughout their stay and she is always quick to communicate with me. I would highly recommend booking a stay!”
“Gabriella did an outstanding job watching my precious girls, she made sure they were safe from the fireworks and she made sure they got plenty of exercise while we were gone. I missed my gurls while were gone but I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would be loved on while we were gone. The pictures she sent we weren’t sure the gurls would want to come home they were having so much fun but they were definitely happy to see us. I highly recommend Gabriella and we plan on using her again on our non dog vacations. ( If she’ll have us 😊 )”
“Heather and her family were wonderful! Our two pitties can be a handful and Heather met all their challenges with understanding and great ideas to keep them safe and happy while we traveled. We would highly recommend Heather!!!”
“We prayed about our dogs safety, comfort and care while we were gone during spring break. Meghan has been God’s good gift to us and our pup! So happy to have found a great caregiver and home!”
“Cassandra and her family absolutely put my mind at ease over leaving my two tiny dogs for the weekend for the first time. She kept them on their schedule, the whole family gave them tons of attention, and I received an abundance of photos and videos. We will use her services again on our next trip.”
“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!”
“First time for my 7 yr old, 15 lb. pup to be boarded. Very clean home with two very friendly dogs. Large fenced yard. I used Alice twice and was thrilled when my pup couldn't wait to get back into the house. She also taught him to use the doggie door.”
“We were very apprehensive about leaving Doodle Boy with anyone so far from home. The photo's that Penny texted were very calming, He seemed to be relaxed. We were very satisfied. Thanks again for taking good care of hiim.”
“Jenny accepted a last minute booking and really helped us out of a bad situation. My mother in law fell and was in the hospital. We needed someone to take care of her dog. Jenny accepted the booking and took geeat care of Butter. She was accommodating and response. We really appreciate everything she did to help with Butter.”
“Our dog was very comfortable in the house within minutes. She sniffed everywhere, went outside then made herself at home on the couch. We forsure will use Mary again. Thanks Mary.”

“Kat was such a wonderful caregiver to our cats while we were gone! Our big cat Serial is a jerk, but Kat was patient and undaunted by his attitude -- he even warmed up by the end, which he never does. Our little cat Nebula is extremely shy, but Kat still sent pictures of him in his hiding spot and tried to make him feel comfortable. Took great care of our house and was very thoughtful and thorough -- I will 100% book with Kat again”
“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I recently lost my own dog after 8 wonderful years together, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, potty training, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love being around animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule can vary slightly week to week, but I do my best to stay flexible and communicate clearly with pet owners. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and check-ins throughout the week whenever my schedule allows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling puppies that may need extra patience or potty training support. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks and playtime. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own animals.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a long time, would love to spend time and also take care of yours and make sure they’re safe! Hi there! I definitely have tons of time throughout the day to love your baby! I spend time with them before & through out on breaks from work and when I get off! I do have a huge fenced in yard! My 2 year old LOVES playing with your doggies! We have no pets in our home now.
About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
“Shannon visited my boy cat Smokie at my house a few times. I couldnt be more thankful! (not to mention one day was Valentines) xoxo. I was unexpectedly delayed on my return home and Shannon is an angel to have stopped by to make sure he was safe <3 Thank you, R.”
About: I’ve cared for cats for family, friends, and neighbors and am comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of and raised many cat breeds since I was 5, including bottle-feeding abandoned babies and nursing care and meds if needed. I have good intuition about cat behavior and their own ways of communicating, and I have been able to tame many wild cats through consistent love, peace, and care.
About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.
“My experience proved that Cheyenne is a responsible woman that took care of my 3 cats. One would not eat much, and she therefore made an extra trip to attempt to feed her. She also texted me about the issue and suggested she could try to feed her again. Cheyenne is very considerate and I would not hesitate to hire her services in the future.”
“Neviah is truly a one of a kind. She not only took great care of my service dog while I was away, and did so on short notice, but she is incredibly thoughtful, goes above and beyond and has a tremendous attitude. Genuinely one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”
“Wendy is such a gem! She was reliable, thoughtful, and very responsive. The kitty she cared for earns his name "Spooky" because he is easily spooked. Within a few days, however, he was showing up for attention and petting. We got pictures every day and are so pleased that we could be away without worries.”
“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”

“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Maddie was fantastic with our dog as we were passing through town on our honeymoon! Communicated well the entire time and was amazing with our shy dog. Thank you maddie for everything!”
About: Hi there, I'm Tiffany! I loooove all fur babies..pups, kitties, ferets...you name it! My senior dog (Rambler) recently passed away, so it’s just me And on any given day, I have random furry guests over to keep me company. The more the merrier :) I have a pretty flexible work schedule, so I'm at home the majority of most days. I have a great space for animals at my home with the inside being tidied up and animal friendly. I’ve been dog sitting/house sitting for people for years and have many wonderful references upon request. I love all ages, sizes, and personalities! My boy that just passed away was paraplegic so I have a lot of experience with special needs babies.(doggie wheelchairs, bladder expression, medication, etc.) I am currently working from home part time so have plenty of free time to keep the animals company. May have to leave to run errands but would return very shortly if so. My main goal is to help your pups feel safe and comfortable while you are away whether that be at my home or at yours.
“Rachel was so helpful taking care of my sweet puppy even when he wasn’t feeling his greatest the day she had him! She gave regular updates and even offered son advice to help remedy his upset tummy! She is fantastic!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been an experienced vet tech for 6+ years and love nothing more than working with pets. I currently have 3 of my own that my world revolves around! They are great with dogs of all ages and energy styles. Whether your dog would love some playmates or is more relaxed and wants to be left alone, my dogs easily adjust to a doggie guest in our home. Needless to say, whether it’s in your home or mine, I will give your pet the time, care & attention they need! I have a large yard and love hiking or taking my dogs swimming, so if your dog is active and will enjoy outings please let me know and I would be glad to take them out of the house while you are enjoying your vacation. I am experienced with medical cases and can give medications including injections. I work from home and can give your pet the time and attention they need during the day. I have multiple rooms in my house so whether your dog wants to lounge around with the pack, or needs to be separated, we will make what needs to happen work for your pup! I have experience working with all types of dogs, whether they’re super outgoing, a little shy, or even maybe a little reactive, I have no problem adjusting to meet their needs. I have extensive experiences working with special needs/medical case animals as well!
“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Kristi for your babies needs. Being new to the area and having a new puppy is exciting and scary. Trusting someone with your baby is hard. She was so comforting to me and gave me regular updates. This was the first time I left Chandler with anyone. She has 2 dogs herself and Frankie is the same breed as Chandler. Dachshunds needs special care and she even had ramps to accommodate their backs. I will definitely use Kristi again.❤️💙🩷”

About: Caring for animals has been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of experience as both a pet owner and sitter. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support. What sets me apart is the home and environment I provide— Our little farm offers space to explore, a secure fenced yard for safe play, and the love of my entire family. With three children who adore animals, every pet gets an abundance of cuddles, companionship, and supervision. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 80% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are treated like part of our family. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, experienced in administering medications, and happy to accommodate special diets or crate training if preferred. Our home is filled with love, supervision, and plenty of cozy spots for relaxation so your pet feels secure and happy.
About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾
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. 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.
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”
“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”
“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 been dogsitting since I could drive at 16. I have worked at multiple kennels, one specializing in young, high-energy working dogs, and the other specializing in aggressive and fear-reactive dogs with bite histories. I have also dogsat for dogs with bite histories, high-energy breeds, low-energy breeds, dogs with health issues, dogs who have had no training, and dogs who have had lots of training. I will have a part-time internship near Maryville this summer, as well as an online summer class. I will have plenty of time to care for your pets around these activities! I can work half-shifts at my internship (~4 hours) and all I need for my class is Wi-Fi access and somewhere to sit. I am familiar with giving dogs medications, even the reluctant dogs. I am also well-versed in dog body language and behavior, and am comfortable dealing with pets who are fearful. I am not afraid of large dogs! I love the big dogs, and am comfortable with breeds up to and including Great Danes, Mastiffs, Wolfhounds, Newfies, etc. I am used to dog training as well, and am more than willing to maintain any training rules you may have for your dog. My personal dog is a certified therapy dog (she will not be accompanying while dogsitting). I love training, but have no certifications, just dog training kennel experience.

“Jay was absolutely amazing with my pup, always sent me detailed feedback and never missed a picture, which truly helps when you are away from your pup.

“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.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Maddie took very good care of our dog Cooper. She was very attentive and made sure Cooper’s needs were met. She also sent us photos of Cooper playing with other dogs. We will use her again next time we need to board him.”
“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.”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Viviana is amazing with my dogs. I’ve used her several times now. They get so excited when we pull in the driveway. I love getting pictures from her throughout their stay and she is always quick to communicate with me. I would highly recommend booking a stay!”
“Gabriella did an outstanding job watching my precious girls, she made sure they were safe from the fireworks and she made sure they got plenty of exercise while we were gone. I missed my gurls while were gone but I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would be loved on while we were gone. The pictures she sent we weren’t sure the gurls would want to come home they were having so much fun but they were definitely happy to see us. I highly recommend Gabriella and we plan on using her again on our non dog vacations. ( If she’ll have us 😊 )”
“Heather and her family were wonderful! Our two pitties can be a handful and Heather met all their challenges with understanding and great ideas to keep them safe and happy while we traveled. We would highly recommend Heather!!!”
“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!”
“First time for my 7 yr old, 15 lb. pup to be boarded. Very clean home with two very friendly dogs. Large fenced yard. I used Alice twice and was thrilled when my pup couldn't wait to get back into the house. She also taught him to use the doggie door.”
“Ashley was flexible with drop off/pickup time frames and communicated quickly. I’m always anxious leaving my pup behind but felt comfortable and confident leaving her in Ashley’s care. I would have preferred more pics during the stay but I understand sometimes it could be forgotten.”
“I highly recommend Lanelle to watch your puppy/dog! From the time I dropped my baby off, she was already updating me and letting me know how she was doing. She sent me pics the entire time Aurora was there. Also, they had plenty of other dogs there for her to play with. Plus, there was always someone there with her so she was never alone which is huge for me. I would love to bring her back the next time I go out of town. Very pleased with her level of service!”
