“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“We are so thankful we found Deborah. Our pup had the best time and came home so happy. Deborah sent regular pictures and updates and made us feel at ease that our girl was being taken care of :)”
“Alexander was amazing! He gave frequent updates, lots of pictures and my golden, Scout had a blast with his golden, Archie! Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“I had to get a Rover for the weekend last minute. Amanda accommodated me and gave my boys somewhere to be loved on and cared for, and for that, I am forever thankful!”
“It's always a pleasure booking with Emmett! Emmett has set the bar so unreasonably high for all other boarding experiences, that no one else quite compares. We are incredibly satisfied repeat customers. Our dog gets excited the second we pull in the driveway to drop him off - which makes saying "see you later" so much easier. Emmett's equal excitement, politeness, professionalism, and overall kind demeanor are just icing on the cake!”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing! Her babies got along so well with mine and she was very communicative and sent pictures consistently throughout the time he was there. We even left with a goody bag of homemade dog treats! Carrie and her family were 100000/10 and my boy will be back! Repeat customer for sure.”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“Melissa is the best! This is the second time she’s taken care of our senior Chihuahua. I feel very at ease knowing he’s with her. Highly recommend! Thank you Melissa.”
“Carla went above and beyond what was expected! She was the best choice while on vacation! The whole 8 days she sent pictures of my baby playing with other babies, she took her to the park with her new friends she made, even let them have sleepovers, and helped her bake! My baby was active the whole time I was away! She made her fit right in and treated my baby as her own! She made my family have a ease of peace while on our trip and didn’t have to worry about our baby! Carla is everything you would want in a pet sitter! I will forever use Carla and I’m so thankful I found her!!! Truly Blessed for her!”
About: I grew up with a variety of animals and have raised several dogs from puppies. I’ve adopted difficult dogs that were set to be put down and worked with them to become amazing family members. Big dogs are my specialty. I work from home most of the week so I can make it out to walk your pups on my breaks or morning and evening. I can also pet sit in your home in the evenings and on weekends. My wife and I work as a team. She is a pet groomer and loves animals of all kinds. Walks, playing, feeding, giving them all them loves they could ask for. Need a bath or nail trim? We can also discuss things like that.
“Season was wonderful! Excellent communication, very flexible, and a loving environment for our babies. We are very happy we found her and look forward to booking with her again very soon!”
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“Austie gives a high level of care, communication and our dog came home calm and happy. Very clean and nice home and I received daily updates which was so re assuring. Highly recommend Austie.”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
“Our 10 year old lab enjoyed her time with Erika and Eric! She is a very anxious old girl so we appreciate them making her feel so comfortable that she actually ate each day we were gone - very unusual for her. Erika communicated well with us through the whole process and we appreciate the meet and greet as well…. We will for sure send our pup back to them.”

About: In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience watching cats for family and friends. I am comfortable providing feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I will follow their routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away.
“I recently used Brooke to keep my cat, Lupin! She was incredibly attentive and sent me multiple updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She went above and beyond and I genuinely feel like she treated my cat as her own!”
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
“Thank you so much for stepping in on short notice! I felt confident after talking with you that everything was going to be alright since we were out of state with very little time to vet our dog sitter! Thank you!”
About: As a cat parent, I know how important your babies are. My cats are eight (and still babies, of course!). I've sat for cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. It can be scary when their usual beloved human servant isn't around, and I know how to connect with them in ways they can understand and appreciate to make those times feel more like home.
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Jamal is a neighbor, right across the street. He's a great guy, and did well letting my dog, Shuri, out into the yard on a tether. But, he somehow got the alarm triggered by not following my instructions, and the alarm company called me while I was in a conference doing videography in front of about 60 people. All in all, he did what I needed for the dog visit.”

About: I have been practicing the fine art of cat whispering since 2018. Currently, I live with two adorable kitties.

I match your exact daily routine down to the minute so your cat feels like nothing changed. ** I specialize in extended stays! I provide consistent, loving companionship so your kitty never feels lonely while you explore the world. ** If your cat needs daily medications or supplements, I administer them with zero stress and maximum patience. From energetic kitten zoomies to senior cats who just want to nap in a sunbeam, I read feline body language instantly and always respect their boundaries.Every visit includes meticulously scooped litter boxes, fresh food/water potions, and a magical photoshoot of your kitty sent directly to your phone. 🔮 Whether you need me for a quick daily drop in, a weekend or a month, your familiar is safe in my hands!

“I travelled from Colorado to Tennessee with my dog, Zephyr. Carrie took care of Zephyr while I attended Adult Drum Camp. At first, I was very nervous about leaving “my girl” with a “stranger.” Carrie was absolutely WONDERFUL, understanding and kind. She sent a bunch of photos the first couple days until I was feeling better. Zephyr adored her. Wagging her nubbins of a tail when I dropped her off each day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

About: I have 4 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 3 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. Over the last couple of years I have hosted numerous dogs of different breeds, ages and sizes. I have numerous repeat customers. I also have other apps that I use for sitting, and do privately. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.

About: I've had a familiarity with animals since a child. I enjoy speaking( even though they dont speak back) and giving attention to pets to build a loving, trusting, bond I Am not very busy in general so am able to take care of companions at almost any time of the day or night as needed. I do not offer services pertaining to bringing the pet to my home, however, on our first meet, I will learn and cater to the best interest you have for your pet's care in your absence
About: I have always been so in love with animals! Growing up we had two Himalayan cats and 6 chihuahuas. Needless to say, we had a full house! I treat all the animals that I care for as one of my very own. I absolutely love all animals!! I am the oldest of my siblings and I have always been a nurturer. Being a nurturer really comes easy to me and helps with this as I appreciate the importance of the well being of your lovely pet. I have done dog sitting for many dogs that have been on a special diet and very sick. I have an open schedule right now and love to take your pets out for some fun! Dog owners have always been very pleased with my skills and such special care for dogs. I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I am very flexible and would love to discuss some arrangements for dog sitting for your fur babies! I live in a house with lots of room for play! It is a very safe neighborhood with lots of areas to go on a nice walk!

Whether it’s a cuddly cat, or energetic dog, I tailor the approach to suit their unique needs, providing you with peace of mind while you’re away.

After all, your pets aren’t just animals – they’re cherished family members, and their happiness and well-being are my top priority. I’m currently working full time, however I have every Saturday,Sunday, and Monday off. I have open availability all 3 days. I could also possibly be available week nights if a drop in is needed. I also have open availability for house sitting including week nights upon request. As a pet owner myself to a goldendoodle and 3 cats I prefer to watch clients pets in their own home. I find that pets tend to tolerate a familiar setting, especially in possible stressful situations like their owner being away.

Loved my job, and have cared for many animals since. Currently do not have a job, so I have a free schedule and nothing but love to give to the fur babies, including cats of course. I am very respectful to others homes and belongings. I only want to care for the animals, very trustworthy.

They have their free roam, I also have a pretty decent sized screen in back porch that they can run around a little in.

“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“Alexander was amazing! He gave frequent updates, lots of pictures and my golden, Scout had a blast with his golden, Archie! Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“I had to get a Rover for the weekend last minute. Amanda accommodated me and gave my boys somewhere to be loved on and cared for, and for that, I am forever thankful!”
“It's always a pleasure booking with Emmett! Emmett has set the bar so unreasonably high for all other boarding experiences, that no one else quite compares. We are incredibly satisfied repeat customers. Our dog gets excited the second we pull in the driveway to drop him off - which makes saying "see you later" so much easier. Emmett's equal excitement, politeness, professionalism, and overall kind demeanor are just icing on the cake!”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing! Her babies got along so well with mine and she was very communicative and sent pictures consistently throughout the time he was there. We even left with a goody bag of homemade dog treats! Carrie and her family were 100000/10 and my boy will be back! Repeat customer for sure.”
About: I grew up with a variety of animals and have raised several dogs from puppies. I’ve adopted difficult dogs that were set to be put down and worked with them to become amazing family members. Big dogs are my specialty. I work from home most of the week so I can make it out to walk your pups on my breaks or morning and evening. I can also pet sit in your home in the evenings and on weekends. My wife and I work as a team. She is a pet groomer and loves animals of all kinds. Walks, playing, feeding, giving them all them loves they could ask for. Need a bath or nail trim? We can also discuss things like that.
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“Austie gives a high level of care, communication and our dog came home calm and happy. Very clean and nice home and I received daily updates which was so re assuring. Highly recommend Austie.”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
“Our 10 year old lab enjoyed her time with Erika and Eric! She is a very anxious old girl so we appreciate them making her feel so comfortable that she actually ate each day we were gone - very unusual for her. Erika communicated well with us through the whole process and we appreciate the meet and greet as well…. We will for sure send our pup back to them.”
“Tifaney was great to work with. She took great care of our little senior yorkie for a week, and sent me pictures of her every day, and also provided numerous updates on how she was doing.”
“We were so fortunate to find Pam and utilize her dog-sitting services (our first time to use Rover as well). It had been a while since we had boarded our two "girls", and we had a lengthy vacation in Europe planned. We connected with Pam through Rover and conducted a site visit. Great property and set-up for dog-sitting, and it was comforting to meet Pam, learn of her experience keeping pets, and were assured by her confidence and comfort level in keeping pets. While on our trip, Pam provided timely updates and photos of the girls, and even alerted us to a potential health issue with one of them. We had a great experience using Pam and highly recommend her!”
“First time doing rover and was not disappointed. Michelle was very informative, helpful and loving with our 3 month old baby. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to all our friends with fur babies ?”
“As always Nicole took great care of our pups. She goes out of her way to insure they feel comfortable, secure and loved. You can tell because even though they are excited to see us, they always go back to tell Nicole goodbye before we leave.”
“Trish is a very kind host and did great with our 1 year old Australian Shepherd. She has a great space downstairs where she's able to watch dogs, and I felt great leaving our dog with her. Our dog, Willow, loved her too! Highly recommend booking Trish!”
“This was our first time boarding our pup and Jessica made this super easy! She updated with frequent pictures! Super happy and will be using them again in the near future”
