About: I have owned dogs since I was about 14 years old. I have had different breeds from dachshund to now Australian Cattle dog. I currently own 3 ACDs, an English setter/Feist, and a senior long-haired Chihuahua.I have raised and sold two litters of puppies. I have good relationships with all my clients. It's been 3 years and I still have a group chat including most of my puppy owners. I enjoy communication with everyone I work with. I like to send daily pictures and updates. I have trained puppies successfully. I love dogs! I also have lots of experience with after spay/neuter care. If you need someone to care for your pet while they are recovering from surgery, I am happy to help! Most importantly, I am a Christian. I strive to do all things to the glory of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am currently helping my parents at home. I am hoping to grow this business to be my sole source of income. I am home the majority of the time. My schedule is very flexible. I can board any time. I have fifteen acres where I can exercise your dog at least 3 times a day. I have a small weather proof barn and 2 outdoor kennels for day time fun and crates and space indoors for sleeping your pets. My 5 dogs are friendly and obedient, but for safety , I will never leave your dog unattended with them. I also have multiple 30-50ft tie out leads so we can play fetch and explore safely.

“A fantastic experience. We ended up picking Bowie up late. Kristy was so flexible and understanding. Bowie seemed to enjoy the stay as well!”


“Kate was an absolute blessing to us! She was quick to respond to us on a last minute request! She sent us pictures and updates all day and took the very best care of our puppy, Axl! This was our first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better! Thank you so much Kate!”


“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”


“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”



“Dani is awesome, she send lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable with our dog being with her! Our 8 month old puppy has never been away from us so we wanted to try doggy day care to practice for our upcoming trip since we will have to board her. Would highly recommend Dani, her house is perfect for boarding/dog sitting :)”


“Avonlea was our first experience with Rover and we are SO happy! Kyle and Hank had so much fun! We are so thankful we had a safe and fun place for them to go while we went and explored Knoxville and surrounding areas.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.

“I was anxious to leave Sadie somewhere for the first time, but Melinda made the process so easy and really put me at ease. She sent pictures and a video throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. We’re using her again in June. Thank you Melinda for making this a great experience!”


About: Hi, I’m Grace! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was six years old, growing up on a farm where animals were part of the family. From high-energy puppies to slow-and-steady senior dogs, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding for dogs at every stage of life. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, overnight care, or a drop-in visit while you’re away, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m especially experienced with senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort, and with puppies still learning the ropes of the world (and potty training!). Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I make sure you’re always updated and at ease while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pup like family! I’m currently working from home, so I’m available to care for your sweet baby at any time. I’m happy to love on your pup as I do my own! I have a fenced in yard with three of my own pups. All three are laid back and easy going, but my lab and beagle mix are great playmates. I am also happy to care for your pups on their own turf as well if they’re not a fan of other dogs.

About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.

About: I’ve owned and have taken care of several different animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm makes me feel well equipped to take care of your furry friends! We currently have three dogs; Millie,Demi&Lady and they are our pride and joy. From morning to night they are always with me. Routines are key in our house! I can care for you pets any way you need me too. I’m completely comfortable and confident in my care towards a wide variety of animals!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, many different breeds. My life would not be complete without at least one dog in it! I currently have an Aussiedoodle named Macy. She is five and would love to have a playmate or two. I can only take dogs that get along well with other dogs! I have raised puppies, so I know the extra care required. I nurtured my Jack Russel for 16 years and did everything it took to get her to Rainbow Bridge in the most dignified manner. I can give meds and will do whatever your pet needs as far as special care. I work from home part time, so I have plenty of time to pay attention to your fur baby! My home has a large open family room for an indoor play area, and I have an enclosed porch and fenced in back yard. You can expect that your fur baby will be loved like my own, will get frequent potty breaks, and will get walks in the neighborhood or at the local dog park (with your permission). Your pet's safety is my top priority. I will take only one family's dogs (up to two) at a time so that there are no "top dog" issues. My Macy gets along with any dog and will be super excited to share her rather boring day with your fur baby. I will only take dogs that have ZERO issues with other dogs, as Macy must be safe as well!!

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to love on your fur baby. I love all animals. But dogs have a special place in my heart. I had my backyard fenced in last year so when my grand puppies come visit they have a nice space. But it is perfect for hosting other fur babies too. Since I am retired I am home most of the time. I currently don't have my own dog. But I do spoil all of my neighbor's dogs! I will love your furbaby as I would my own. I would love the opportunity to spend time with yours. I only host for one family at a time. If you have 2 dogs that's not a problem.


About: Take advantage of the fact that we love being home! As full-time parents & full-time college students, time spent away from home is limited to attending class and the occasional family outing. We spend most of our time as a family loving on our daughter & our 4 furbabies. Leaving your pets with us, would be like leaving your pets at home. Here we cuddle endlessly, and enjoy all animals big & small! I myself am a nurse, and also have experience with giving both cats & dogs medication (including insulin injections). We have 4 acres of fenced in yard for your pets to safely run and play! I work part time, two days per week, and my husband is home full time with the kids while he goes to school full time. I have 2 very well behaved dalmatians. We have 4 acres of fenced in yard for everyone to safely run and play. We have 2 goats as well who occasionally share the yard if everyone gets along, otherwise they stay in their pen.

My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
