About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and friends of friends for 10 years. I love interacting with pets, outdoor adventures, and playing my guitar for the pets I watch! I can assure you that your pet will be well loved and have a blast while you are away! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for references or questions! Because I only work on the weekends, I have an extremely flexible schedule during the week. I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to spend it with your animals! When I care for pets, I treat them like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and any needs like medication.

About: I've been walking neighbors dogs since I was a small kid, volunteered at local animal shelters (walked their dogs), and also have cared for a senior dog (16 year-old poodle) before. I've learned to become patient with pets, especially when cleaning up accidents! I'm a college student at UTK, but I have open time in the mornings, afternoon, and night every weekday. On weekends, I have meetings in the afternoons, but I can still care for pets in the morning and night. I'm confident in my cleanliness, care to detail, and love for pets. I'll care for pets with my whole heart, love them as I would love my own pets, and ensure the pets have a nice experience with me.

About: I love all pets! I have two cats and a dog of my own that I love and cherish very much. I have also had and taken care of pets ever since I was five years old! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, gerbils, and fish; however, I am more than interested in learning how to take care of your pet if I do not have experience in taking care of that type yet. When I pet sit or walk your pet, I will make sure that I take care of them the same way that I take care of my own pets, with responsibility, safety, and love. I also have six years of house sitting experience. I am very good with plants and making sure that your house is taken care of while you are away. I cannot wait to be your sitter!

“As always, Hila treated my furbaby like family and was very attentive to her needs! My oddball, s op etimes-anxious doggy always does great and seems happy after Hila walks her when I can't make it home!!”


About: I have always been able to communicate and interact with animals much easier than i have with people, it comes more naturally to me. The first thing that my closest friends and family say when introducing me to anyone, especially if they have pets, is that i’m great with animals. it fits in perfectly, i work at part time job at a clothing store but my shifts are only typically four hours, and i get off work anytime between 4-6 so right around dinner time. i have an open yard that my dog can roam freely whenever we let her out, she tends to stay within 10 yards of our front doorstep so we do not keep her on a leash. however, should i be taking care of a dog and it does need to be on a leash when being let out, that is no problem at all.

About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.

About: I have had dogs around for most of my adult life. I raised a small cocker spaniel who had medical issues and required extra attention. Recently we have raised a bernadoodle puppy, with the help of our dog friends! I also share custody of a boxer and Boston terrier. I am a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I have a very flexible schedule and come throughout the day or evenings as needed! I’m very comfortable caring for pets and always make it a priority to follow any routines or instructions you have in place. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’m happy to stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special care your pet needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away.

About: Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, bunnies and pigs, I love them all! I’ve been a cat mom my entire life but have experience with dogs big and small, medication needs, and a variety of other furry critters. No matter what your fur baby needs, I’m ready to care for them. While I do work full-time, I’m an early riser and can do both early morning and afternoon/evening visits to make sure that your fur-babies are taken care of.

Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, fish, frogs, chickens, and even raised butterflies from eggs. This variety has given me a deep appreciation for the unique needs of each animal, and I tailor every visit to their comfort, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide the kind of care that lets you travel or work with total peace of mind. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, with overnight house-sitting available year-round, including busy holidays.

In your home, I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates—so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet's specific needs. I'm currently working a 9-5 job, but I'm available to care for your furry friends at anytime before or after working hours, in addition to anytime during the weekend. I live in a safe, family friendly apartment complex within walking distance to a park, so I can provide your pet with daily walks and lots of cuddles!

About: I have had animals in my home my entire life! I absolutely love animals and if I had all the money in the world I would open an animal rescue.

About: With 10 years of experience in caring for dogs, I’ve developed an unmatched understanding of canine behavior, health, and happiness. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing my life with some truly special dogs, each of whom has shaped my approach to pet care in unique ways. My journey began with my beloved Sparkles Jane, whose sweet and gentle nature taught me the true meaning of loyalty and companionship. She was more than just a pet; she was a friend, a teacher, and a source of endless love. While Sparkles Jane is no longer with me, the lessons I learned from her continue to guide my care for all dogs I encounter. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for Patches, whose playful spirit and affectionate personality brought joy to every moment. Through these years, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and the deep emotional bond that forms between a dog and their caregiver. Now, I’m lucky enough to spend time with my sweet Beau Beau and Chippy, two dogs who continue to hold a special place in my heart. I absolutely love house-sitting for Beau Beau and Chippy, providing them with comfort and companionship whenever I’m back home. Their personalities are a perfect reminder of why I’m so passionate about what I do—every dog is unique, and they all deserve love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. Having lived with dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of building trust and creating a safe, positive environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s providing extra care for a senior dog or engaging in playful activities with a younger dog, I know how to cater to their individual needs with kindness, expertise, and a lot of love. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for dogs and has a decade of hands-on experience, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members. With my background, I promise to provide them with the highest level of attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Hello!

About: Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈⬛ This is my full time job and I love it! Most of my bookings are location based and I love meeting my neighbors- animal and human! Build community where you can! I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their happy little quirks(loves to give kisses, favorite places to sleep, play and poop, territorial over food, etc.) I prefer to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.
