House Sitting in Acuff

About: Hello! Im Bev and taking care of animals has always been my purpose. Your pet's comfort is always my #1 priority ❤️. I've been a veterinary assistant for over 3 years and have a bachelor's in Animal Science. I have experience giving medications and recognizing illness & emergency! Young and old, I will love and care as if they are my own. ❤️🐾 At this time, I'm working to pay off my tuition. Veterinary nurse in progress 🩺🐾 As an aspiring veterinary nurse, my schedule is designed around animal care. My self-paced studies allow me the flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs while applying my clinical knowledge to their daily well-being. Between my veterinary nursing studies and managing my own 'zoo' at home—a 75lb puppy and two cats—I’ve mastered the art of a peaceful household! I’m an expert at juggling different personalities, whether that means supervised meal times or keeping everyone safely separated. I’ll treat your fur-babies with the same care and clinical eye I give my own.

About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little tot! Not only do I have experience with dogs and cats, I also have experience with bunnies, and other exotics as well. I’m a full-time college student at UTC, but in between my classes and my days off I’m fully prepared to care for your furry companion! I will feed and water your pets as needed as well as medication if needed. I will make sure that they have plenty of potty breaks (as well as litter box cleaning). I’ll make sure to keep them active and all sorts of entertainment during my visit! And of course give them all sorts of love!

“Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.”

“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”

About: When I was babysitting, I would also dog sit or cat sit for families that needed it. I am able to feed, walk, etc for your pet/pets! I am in grad school right now, so doing this will definitely help! I am currently in grad school for Occupational Therapy and work as a part time lifeguard. I am in clinicals from 8am-5pm Monday-Thursday and will work some weekend. If you can just get in touch with me I can work around my schedule as best as possible! I would only take care of pets in clients home because I have 2 cats and a dog right now that live with me and my 2 roommates. I can do just about anything you ask of me.

About: I have taken care of many different animals growing up with my main focus being on dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I currently have a senior cat and have previously taken care of ill/injured dogs. I have also worked at a vet! I’m currently working full time at 3 nights a week but am available all day and any night that aren’t those three. I attempt to travel often if I am not busy :) I have a fenced in yard, two hyper but friendly dogs and two cats who stay to their selves. I always keep a leash in my car rather it’s if I find a baby walking down the road of if I need to walk someone else’s baby!

“Claire did a great job. Our pets were happy and healthy and well loved upon our return. The house might have even looked better than when we left. We'll definitely be using Claire again in the future!”

“Naomi took care of two emotional dogs. She came early to meet them and communicated when arriving and leaving our house. She also ran the dishwasher and stripped her bedding before leaving! Thanks, Naomi of taking care of them!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Not just loving them, but paying attention to them. How they settle into a space. How they react when something feels off. How much of their behavior is tied to routine. My first experience working with animals started when I was 11, helping in a pet shop. Cleaning kennels. Bathing puppies. Learning quickly that care is not just about showing up. It is about understanding what makes an animal feel safe. That has stayed with me. What I’ve learned over time is that most dogs do not struggle because they are “difficult.” They struggle when their environment changes too quickly, or when their routine disappears. That is usually what happens with boarding. A new place. New smells. New dogs. Different energy. Even the best facilities cannot recreate what your dog already knows. And that is where in-home care changes everything. Your dog stays in their space. Their routine stays intact. Their stress stays low. You are not asking them to adjust to everything all at once. You are just making sure they are taken care of. For clients who travel, that means leaving without wondering how their dog is adjusting somewhere unfamiliar. For clients who work long hours, it means coming home to a dog that has already been walked, fed, and paid attention to. Not one that has been waiting all day. ⸻ What I actually do I offer both drop-in visits and walks, depending on what your dog needs. Walks are available in 30 and 60 minute options. Some dogs need a quick reset. Others need time to actually burn energy and settle. I structure walks based on that, not just the clock. I also work with multiple dog households, making sure each dog is handled safely and gets the attention they need. For puppies, walks are not just about getting energy out. They are about exposure. New smells. New environments. Getting comfortable on a leash. Learning how to move through the world without being overwhelmed. That foundation matters more than most people realize. Drop-in visits cover the day-to-day needs. Feeding. Water. Bathroom breaks. Playtime. A reset in the middle of the day. If your schedule keeps you out for long stretches, this becomes the difference between a stressed dog and a regulated one. ⸻ The work itself is simple on paper. But the impact is not. You are giving your dog consistency. You are removing unnecessary stress from their day. You are making sure they still feel like themselves, even when your schedule shifts. I pay attention to the small things. Energy levels. Behavior changes. What they need that day, not just what is on the checklist. Because good care is not about doing more. It is about noticing more. If that is the kind of care you are looking for, I would love to take care of your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I have a flexible schedule and run my own business. I build my days around visits and walks so I am not rushing in and out. Each stop has space for the dog to settle, get what they need, and not feel like part of a tight rotation. Most of my availability falls during standard work hours, which works well for midday walks and drop-in visits. That is usually when dogs need the reset the most. I also keep my schedule intentionally manageable. I am not trying to stack as many bookings as possible. I am making sure each dog gets the time and attention they actually need. Consistency matters here too. Once we establish a routine, I aim to keep it steady so your dog knows what to expect each day. I approach care in your home with one goal in mind. Keep things as consistent and familiar as possible for your dog. I follow the routine you already have in place. Feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and downtime all happen in a way that feels normal to them. I am not trying to introduce a new system. I am stepping into yours. I pay attention to how your dog responds during each visit. Energy levels, behavior, appetite, and overall comfort. If something feels off, I notice it early. Walks are structured based on what your dog needs that day. Some need a quick reset. Others need more time to move and settle. I adjust accordingly. In between, I make sure they are not just “checked on,” but actually engaged. Whether that is play, reinforcement of good leash habits, or just giving them space to relax if that is what they need. Respecting your home is part of the job as well. Everything is left the way I found it, clean and secure. The goal is simple. Your dog feels comfortable, your routine stays intact, and you can step away without wondering how things are going at home. You will also get a full Rover report from me beyond what you normally get in the app that I have designed to give you a full overview of what’s been going on while you’re away.

“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my two boys! She communicated well and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs since 2016 at different times. I have taken care of great Danes to small dogs such as a chihuahua mix. This includes being comfortable with pitbull breeds. I also had a dog that was a senior dog, so I have extensive care caring for elderly dogs as well. I am currently enrolled in online schooling and work part time downtown as a ghost tour guide. Thus, I work some nights, but come home around 1am. I am generally home all day. If I am not home, I enjoy going to outdoor places where I would love to take your fur baby with me to enjoy. I am able to walk your dog on a leash and can crate them if a crate is provided. I also have a runner that your dog can be put on as well.

About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.

“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”

“Amanda was great. She went out of her way to ensure our pups were comfortable and happy. We hope to use her again in the future!”

“Gina was fantastic with my dog and cat, fed my pond fish and house sat. She is mature and responsible, came by the day before we left to meet the animals and get instructions. She texted me photos daily and the animals were happy when we returned after two nights away. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again in the future.”

Anne S.

“Sydney is awesome and exceeded expectations during her first-time pet sitting for my dog with separation anxiety, who was extremely comfortable with her from the moment she walked in. Sydney provided picture updates and kept great company with my dog in my absence. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. If you're on the hunt for a someone who genuinely cares, Sydney's your person. Can't wait to book her again!”
