“Lauren has been the biggest help to me this week!! I had to double my hours at work and she was SO GREAT with my two big GSDs!! They totally adore her and she loves them and I never worried a minute while I was gone. 3 thumbs up and 11 /10 stars!!!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets from hamsters to great danes! neighbors, family, & friends have relied on me to take care of their pets by walking, feeding, cuddling, & playing with them! I've always had a pet in my life to love and take care of. I currently work as a nanny so my schedule is pretty flexible! I also go on daily walks so adding a friend would be nothing but extra fun! I am happy to cater to any needs or schedule & help however I can! I am comfortable around all pets & am super excited!
“Jane was a great fur baby sitter. She was at our house as planned consistently. We had daily updates on our babies along with pictures. I would recommend Jane to anyone. Thank you! Cindy”
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience of taking care of dogs, but I also started volunteering at a local animal shelter when I was about 10 years old, where I gained experience interacting with dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have provided daily care with dogs ranging from 15 pounds to 110 pounds and am comfortable providing attentive and loving care to dogs of any breed. I’m currently working a summer job that allows me to be flexible and change my scheduling around a little bit. In the fall, I am starting classes for college and plan on working as a CNA part-time, mostly on my days off from class which is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is undecided, but i will fit your dog into my routine more than once daily and can even stay the night at the house if it’s more convenient for the owners. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I will provide attentive care through feeding, walks around their neighborhood, playtime, and most importantly making sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
“I cannot say enough good things about Ava as our dog walker. She walks my pitbull, Giovanni, and my Frenchie, Jerry, and is so gentle, patient, and calm with them, which means everything to me. Ava is incredibly reliable, always on time, and treats Giovanni and Jerry like her own. I love the updates I get after walks, and I always feel like they are safe and well cared for when they’re with her. Both dogs are happier, calmer, and get so excited every time Ava shows up. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs—especially strong breeds—Ava is the best!”
“Thank you so much for lovingly watching my cat, it was great to read all the updates and know he was being taken care of. Veronica really went above and beyond with sharing pictures and spending quality time with my cat!!”
About: I’ve been dogsitting since I graduated college about a decade ago. I love spending time with dogs and getting to spoil and love on them! I’m currently working part time and have good open availability to meet your needs for a home stay or dog walk. I do best later in the week and over weekends. I don’t have the ability to host in my home, and therefore prefer home stays or dog walks. I love to spend time playing and walking dogs, I feel like I get to see their personalities.
“We have no worries when we leave our beloved cat, Maggie, in Natalie's care. She is completely dependable and cares for our kitty like Maggie was her own. And Maggie knows she's in good hands as well. She doesn't sit on just anyone's lap. Natalie even helped us with some packages delivered despite a mail hold going beyond what was expected. I have no difficulty recommending her without reservation.”
“Angela took amazing care of our cats while we were away! She was timely, very communicative, and overall went above and beyond for us. I’m looking forward to using her again in the future!”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“Reah took care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was friendly, loved animals and made sure our fur babies were feed, had water and cleaned their litter box. We will be in contact with her next time we need a sitter for our cats or dog.”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all ages! Puppies, older dogs, dogs that need assistance, energetic dogs, and all kinds of cats! I love them all! I currently work part time fully remote! This means I can give your pets all the attention they need! I am currently in school and have classes during the day on Tuesdays/Thursdays. My number one goal is to have your pets feel as safe with me as they are with you. Keeping their same routine is essential in keeping them safe. I always follow a routine any any other steps to guarantee a safe pet!
“We had great experience with Emma. She is very reliable and communicative. The cats quickly warmed up to her, she was very caring and attentive towards them. Very grateful to have her care for our cats!”
“Brandi was amazing!!! She was very professional and she did a great job communicating. Brandi was extremely kind and flexible with my schedule. I really appreciated how caring she was with Scout. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would be delighted to have her be Scouts sitter again!”
About: As a former teacher, I’m used to creating routines, following specific instructions, and making sure each individual feels safe and supported. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning a routine, a senior pet needing extra patience, or a shy animal who needs time to warm up, I take the time to build trust and provide calm, dependable care. I am currently between jobs, so I have a completely open schedule! I’m happy to drop in while you’re at work, on vacation, or any time you need I provide dependable, loving care while following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds & fish my whole life. I worked in a vet’s office for 2 years. I am skilled in taking proper care of animals! I am a recent masters graduate of Milligan University, and I am free most days during the day. I also have availability on the weekends. I am able to take your dogs on walks throughout the day and give them proper exercise while you are not home!! I love making sure your pet is happy!!
About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including horses, cats, dogs, goats, chickens, reptiles, and birds. Currently, I own two cats and a bearded dragon. Throughout my life, I have worked in veterinary clinics and on horse farms, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Additionally, I have interned and volunteered at Zoo Knoxville. My passion for both animals and people motivates me in my work. I work three 12-hour shifts, so I'm available four days a week. I can make exceptions for seven days if the owner is okay with their fur child being alone for 12 hours. I can administer medications, feed, water, play with, and clean the litter box for cats. I love cats and assure each client that I will take great care of their furry child.

Absolutely wonderful experience! I was a little nervous leaving Wally, but she quickly put my mind at ease. Wally can be a little unsure of new people, and he warmed up to her so quickly—I knew he was in great hands and getting plenty of love and attention. She took wonderful care of everything and even went above and beyond by bringing our trash bins up for us. It’s those little extras that mean so much! We came home to a happy, well-loved Wally and Grumpy Kat. Everything was perfectly taken care of. I would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Cassandra is great with communicating, very prompt and professional. She accommodated a last minute request and left me feeling at ease with my pets. She sent updated photos throughout her drop in and was even willing to do a meet and greet prior to her drop in, so my dogs would know what to expect. Will 100% be booking with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alcoa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alcoa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alcoa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
