“Jennifer and her pup, Maddie, were great sitters. Apparently Bullitt and Maddie are best buds now. I think Bullit was torn between wanting to play with Maddie and coming home with me when I picked him up! Jennifer is promptly communicative, caring, courteous, flexible and a sweet dog mom. We will use her again!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ken loves on my pups when I’m out of town and they are so happy! I get the cutest pics from him showing their fun walks, hikes, playtime in the creek. I never know what they’ll do, I just know they’re being loved on, played with and worn out and I can’t be there to handle, I’m so glad Ken does!”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“Jessica & Bryan were absolutely amazing in taking care of my German Shepard while I was away for work. Communication and pictures were excellent, putting my mind at ease. She fit in perfectly with their wonderful family which speaks volumes of them and they definitely have a repeat customer in me.”
“Mallory was great with all the details. Meet and greet went well and Lizzie loved her right away. I appreciated all the communication she provided about pickup and drop-off as well as Lizzie's behavior while I was gone. Will def use Mallory and her family again.”
“Very loving home for house-sitting puppies. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and this was so far superior to having them kenneled. Jennifer gave us frequent updates along with pictures. I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs, and we will use her again.”
“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“Sheryl is absolutely wonderful. She cared for our puppy like it was her own. Great communication, highly recommend. Would travel back just for her to take care of our dog! Thank you Sheryl!!”
“Carly is such a sweet person. She kept us up to date on how our dogs were doing. She also sent pictures. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Jacades was wonderful to choose for Cody. He literally slept from the time he got back in the car. (That tells me he played all day) … That’s amazing! She was very tactful and communicative. I definitely will be using her for Cody’s future sitter!”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“This was the first time Koda was being boarded with someone and there couldn’t have been a better person to leave him with than Natalie. She was absolutely fantastic taking care of him and giving updates as well as sending pictures and videos, I could tell he he was enjoying his time with her and her family and I can certainly see she loves doing what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back to her for boarding again”

“Sam did a great job with our babies. She is very prompt, dependable, and communicated very well, including pictures, to update us while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their precious pets 😁.”
About: I grew up with several different dogs and animals of all kinds. I love any type of critter and in the past I have taken care of senior, young, and special needs animals, and love them all dearly. I just graduated and am looking for some good work over the summer! I currently have a fully open schedule and need to fill up some time I always make sure that any animal I take care of is always safe and sound. I make sure to never let dogs out without a leash, and am always careful to make sure a cat never sneaks out the front door when going in and out. And I always make sure to remember things easily forgotten, such and changing out their water!
“I'm new to the area and no longer have my best friend to cat sit. I wanted to travel to spend Christmas with family so turned to Rover. I felt confident leaving them in Ken's care even before I left. He lives up to his rating!”
“Absolutely Excellent. She took good care of my cats. I would let her be with my cats and come in my house anytime. I felt safe knowing she was there. She is good people. She is at the top of my list of drop-in cat sitters moving forward. My happy cats are retracting their claws and sending her gentle purrs. I trust her.”
“Amanda was amazing from the first meeting to the end of my vacation. Communication (pics included) was great. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and share concerns. My boy Lotus is a scaredy-cat and quite shy but he took to Amanda day one. I felt very confident my babies were very well cared for while I was away. Great relief knowing I didn’t have to worry about them and could focus on fun.”
“Alyson is an attentive and caring sitter going above and beyond. During her stay my cat had an emergency medical issue that Alyson was able to not only take her to the emergency vet for but then made sure she received her medications as prescribed. I was initially worried but I knew Alyson was taking such good care of her and she kept me up to date on how she was doing. Thank you Alyson for going above and beyond and keeping my cat safe and cared for.”
“I’ve used Sara multiple times now to keep an eye out for my cat Reedy, and she has been fabulous every time! Reedy can be a little shy but she has really warmed up to her. Excellent communication while I’m away and extremely professional!”
About: I adore my cat, Maple! I have made it my #1 priority to give her the best life possible. I would want my girl to have the best care available while I’m away, you should too! I have experience taking care of kittens and adult cats. Both deserve to be played with and loved!
“First time using Rover. VERY happy with Megan! Daily contact, photos and videos. Made sure my “special needs” kitty was taken care of and received her meds. Will definitely request her for future pet sitting needs! Highly recommend!!”

“As always, Krystal loved on our cats like we do! She is very responsible and entertains them for the length of time that she spends with them. Unfortunately we will be moving out of the area and we are sad to leave her because our cats loved having her come by!”
“Kristen was great! Unfortunately my little Lilly didn’t want to make an appearance and hid the whole time, but I was thankful to have Kristen check in on her to make sure she was ok!”

“Ken took great care of my puppy when I needed to come in from out of town to attend a memorial service. He gave her lots of exercise which is what she needed between 2 long road trips.”
“Hello, meeting Jennifer and family (including dogs Maddie and Wendell) was nothing short of amazing and comforting! As we are very new to the Bristol area, we were hoping to find someone as nurturing, caring and experienced to provide the level care we were looking for. During the ‘meet and greet’ in her beautiful and pristine home, Jennifer took the time to tell us about herself, family and the love of dogs, as it was important to her immediately bond with Leo, asks questions and answered any questions we might have had to ensure we were leaving Leo in great hands!! The updates and photos is just an extra level of care, we so appreciate. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Rover for pointing Us Jennifer’s way!😁👏🏾🙏🏼”
“Alyson is very accommodating. She responded immediately on my first message. After dropping our dog to her she updates me from time to time. She’s also very understanding coz we picked our dog late. I might use her again in the future in case we need someone to look after our baby. Thank you so much Alyson. ?”

“Alexa was wonderful! She was great to communicate with and answered all of m questions! She took wonderful care of Rae and we love her and would definitely book again!”
“Carols was the perfect sitter for my little dog. He tends to be anxious, especially around other dogs. Carols helped him feel comfortable & he got a chance to socialize with her dog which was very good for him. I hope to leave him with her again.”
“I recently moved to the area and need a lot of help with my 2 boys given my hectic work schedule. Monica has gone above and beyond caring for my dogs and it is the biggest relief. She keeps me updated throughout the day and has even spent some time training my younger dog on her own accord. She is honestly a life saver for our little family! I would recommend her to anyone for walks!”
“Brutus had a day of doggy daycare with Sheryl today and had a ball! She was so attentive to him- playing with him and taking him on walks. Sheryl sent pictures, videos and updates.

About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender. I've also spent the last five years working with kids, in a childcare setting at a local church \ pre school. As I move through this next chapter I just recently received my degree for holistic health and am furthering my educations for specifications in holistic health care. I recently moved back to Bristol so I am ultimately looking for a second income while I get everything established. I am available for almost anything and look forward to being able to love and play with all of your fur babies!

I always treat my animals with the same love and care I treat any person or child in my care. I have a lot of compassion and love for all living beings!
About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have three Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
“Cynthia was so good to my sweet coon hound. Ellie loved her big yard and Cynthia even had her family’s coon hound come over to play with her. We got pictures and updates. Ellie will be visiting again for sure.”
About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.
About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.
About: With the proper instructions, I can and will do anything to give your pet the care he/she needs. I have no problem administering medications of any kind. My wife and I have a yard with sections fenced and not fenced, so I can take dogs out on a leash to relieve themselves, or let them out to run and play. There is also a picnic area near my house with a paved walking trail for walks. I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. Growing up we mainly had large dogs, but I have also cared for small and medium dogs through family. I am comfortable caring for any size dog with any set of needs! I am currently a stay-at-home husband, so I am home all day, every day. My wife works during the day and is home in the evenings and on weekends. Whatever I do during the day will revolve around the care i am currently giving. My wife and I have a home with a fenced backyard. We also have parts of the yard that aren't fenced. We have about 1.5 acres, so I can walk your pet around the yard on a leash or let him/her roam around the fenced in area. I can play with your pet however he/she likes. We can also go to the paved walking path about 5 minutes away. We have 2 medium sized herding dogs that love to play with other dogs. If your dog isn't able or doesnt want to play, no problem! They have experience with small, large, young, and elderly dogs and know how to interact with any needs and temperament. We also have 2 cats that may sniff your dog, but will otherwise do their own things. They have also interacted with different types of dogs and know what to do. Both of our families also love animals so if anyone comes by, it'll just be more love for the fur babies! There is also a veterinarian about 15 minutes away just in case. We are super flexible. I am a stay at home dad and my wife will be working from home in October. We can be accommodating to your needs! We have a fenced in yard which includes a deck and quite a bit of running space. Our dogs love to run up and down the hill, but also like to sun bathe on the porch.

“Ken is awesome! My two pups love him. They whine when we pull up to be dropped off. They are exhausted and miss Ken and his dogs when they leave! So grateful to have him walk the pups, welcome them into his home and show them love when I cant!”

Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.
About: I use my experience as an RN to better care for dogs and cats. I have great assessment skills that help me understand your pets better. I have years of experience caring for geriatric people and animals. I have developed an empathy for pets and pet parents that only comes from years of working to provide the best possible care I can. Whatever your pet needs, from feeding to end of life care, I would be honored to have that responsibility. I am available any day of the week. I do have other obligations occasionally. The sooner you call, the better I will be able to accomodate you and your pet. When we decide that I will care for your pet, I prefer to meet both (or all) of you in your home so that we can discuss your pets needs. I like to spend some time getting to know all involved better, At that time you can show me whatever I might need to know. I look forward to meeting you!
About: I have had animals my whole life and currently have 2 dogs and a cat! I can walk, bathe, feed or anything that is needed for your animal! I am currently a full time Pre-K teacher. Looking for some sweet fur babies to care for during breaks! I love all animals and can’t wait to share my love with your animal. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep yours company! Kennels can be provided if necessary. I can give medicine, feed, bathe, brush, walk, or whatever is needed to accommodate you and your pets needs.
About: I work as a veterinarian technician, and I am certified in animal medicine. I have been walking dogs, boarding dogs, and doing in home visits for many years. I love all animals and care for each as if they were my own. All pets have free roam of my home inside and out. They truly will live as they do in their own home. No pet is kenneled! (unless deemed necessary by owner) Although I work in a Veterinarian Clinic, your pets will not ever be alone. Someone is always home with them, even when I personally can not be. You won’t be disappointed with the care they receive here. I also have a Facebook page you dedicated to the pets I board, and walk. I currently work part time at a Vet Clinic in Kingsport. I only work 20 hours a week. So most of my time is spent here. Even when I’m Not here someone always will be home. Hopefully I can soon have pet sitting as a full time gig and I’ll be home and with the pets ALL THE TIME!! Our house is in a very quiet neighborhood, we have 3 dogs a cat who has 3 legs we have an acre of land they can run around on, but it’s not fenced in yet. We have to walk one of ours out on a leash and can accommodate this with your pet as well.
“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals my entire life. I have helped watch my families pets for as long as I can remember. I have watched Dogs from all ages puppies to seniors. I work as a server Wednesday-Sunday nights. I would be able to do Check ins any morning I was needed to because I don't usually work until 4 or 5. I have a spare bedroom in my house that could be used for boarding purposes if needed but would also be open to letting them sleep on the couch or bed. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a decent sized back yard and I live across the street from a walking trail. I do have one pet cat, she is almost a year old and has been around multiple cats and dogs with no problem and would be excited to have a play mate.
About: I have had a bunch of pets since I was a kid! I enjoy bathing pets, playing and walking them! I love making them feel loved and special! I work part time and am a full time student but I always have down time that will allow for breaks, walks in the park and play time! Pets deserve the same respect as their owner and I intend to treat them as if they were! I want to make sure not only the animals feel safe but so do the owners!

“Jennifer and her pup, Maddie, were great sitters. Apparently Bullitt and Maddie are best buds now. I think Bullit was torn between wanting to play with Maddie and coming home with me when I picked him up! Jennifer is promptly communicative, caring, courteous, flexible and a sweet dog mom. We will use her again!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ken loves on my pups when I’m out of town and they are so happy! I get the cutest pics from him showing their fun walks, hikes, playtime in the creek. I never know what they’ll do, I just know they’re being loved on, played with and worn out and I can’t be there to handle, I’m so glad Ken does!”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“Jessica & Bryan were absolutely amazing in taking care of my German Shepard while I was away for work. Communication and pictures were excellent, putting my mind at ease. She fit in perfectly with their wonderful family which speaks volumes of them and they definitely have a repeat customer in me.”
“Mallory was great with all the details. Meet and greet went well and Lizzie loved her right away. I appreciated all the communication she provided about pickup and drop-off as well as Lizzie's behavior while I was gone. Will def use Mallory and her family again.”
“Very loving home for house-sitting puppies. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and this was so far superior to having them kenneled. Jennifer gave us frequent updates along with pictures. I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs, and we will use her again.”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“Carly is such a sweet person. She kept us up to date on how our dogs were doing. She also sent pictures. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Jacades was wonderful to choose for Cody. He literally slept from the time he got back in the car. (That tells me he played all day) … That’s amazing! She was very tactful and communicative. I definitely will be using her for Cody’s future sitter!”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Eric is absolutely fantastic! I reached out for a last minute booking, and he responded so quickly, which was a huge relief. From the moment I booked him, he was responsive and honest, making me feel totally at ease leaving my dog in his care. I received a picture and update every day, which I really appreciated. It's clear he loves animals, and my dog was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Aaric was a scared little dog when we took him but he appeared to have a great time during the stay. We thought there was only going to be a cat when we originally booked but it worked out very well. He was able to interact with other dogs which was a positive for his development. Brionna did well and had more cleanup to do than she or we expected as Aaric had accidents several times. Over all very positive.”
“This was the first time Koda was being boarded with someone and there couldn’t have been a better person to leave him with than Natalie. She was absolutely fantastic taking care of him and giving updates as well as sending pictures and videos, I could tell he he was enjoying his time with her and her family and I can certainly see she loves doing what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back to her for boarding again”
“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”
