About: I've been around all types of dogs and pets since I was a little girl! My parents have put me in charge of my dogs countless times and I believe our fur children deserve the best care! When I take care of others pets I not only care for them but also for the adults that are putting them into my care, taking care of their home and their belongings! I am currently a stay-at-home wife so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets at any time! I am starting a social media business so I wanted to help out some pet parents while I have the freetime! I will be with your pet anywhere they go and make sure they are safe and friendly with other pets if we encounter them! I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!

About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine! I am currently only working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!

Sawyer was wonderful!! This was the first time we left Walter for this long. We were away 8 days. Sawyer contacted us every day and sent photos of Walter every day. It was so reassuring to see that Walter was doing great and really helped our whole family relax on our vacation. Thank You so much Sawyer!!!

I originally booked Olivia for the wrong month and messaged her in a slight panic when I realized the day after leaving town that my cat had no care set up. She very kindly agreed to change the days and visited that same day after work. I can't say how much I appreciated her kind flexibility, and I will certainly ask her to look after my cat again.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past few eyes and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have been in your shoes trying to find the right person, too! I regularly pet sit for friends & family and genuinely love spending time with animals. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can easily swing by to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and company while you’re away! I currently work from home so I can swing by early in the mornings or late afternoon to hang out with your pet or go on walks. Or, swing by mid afternoon. I am usually open most weekends. When caring for pets in a clients home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will also make to keep the home tidy and provide as many updates/pictures as you would like!

About: Love seeing photos of your fur baby on walks, relaxing, snuggling, and playing while on your vacation? I’m the sitter for you! My name is Grace, and I’ve been providing intentional, high-quality overnight pet care to Knoxville pet owners for the past four years off-app. I am excited to expand to dog-walking and other pet care services on Rover! I can provide a comprehensive list of references upon request and have experience with large and small breeds of dogs, as well as indoor cats. I work full-time 4 days a week but can provide lunch time walks if requested. Early mornings, evenings, and weekends can be totally dedicated to your pet! One work from home day a week also provides more flexibility with your pet’s care. I’m experienced with crate-trained and free house roaming dogs and happily follow any rules required in your home. With cats, I am diligent with litter, and with all pets I always ensure adequate food and water to your specifications. I typically leave clients’ homes better than I found them and always clean up after myself as I care for your pet.

About: Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.” I currently am only working 3 days out of the week, so Friday through Monday I am mostly free to take care of any pets that need looked after in your absence. I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.

Sara was wonderful with my boys! I was worried about having to leave my senior pup. She took great care of him, administering his medications, cleaning up his accidents, and spending extra time with him to make sure he ate his meals and was comfortable. She was there on time and sent great photos, which helped me rest a little easier knowing he was in good hands! I would highly recommend her and definitely will use her in the future!

Elle provided excellent care to my two year old cat, Storm, while I was on vacation. I especially appreciate her attention to detail, making sure Storm's food and water bowls were filled. Elle paid special attention to Storm even though my cat is very shy. I recommend Elle for any future cat sitting needs. Thanks Elle!!🤍

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and livestock. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past 26 years, I have worked as a special education teacher, which has taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and the importance of creating a calm and supportive environment. I am looking for a fun and rewarding summer part-time opportunity doing something I truly love — spending time with animals. I currently volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines and have also volunteered with local animal shelters over the years. In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family. I’m a teacher currently looking for a fun summer part-time opportunity, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, I truly enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to help them feel calm, secure, and cared for in their own environment. I’m experienced caring for cats, dogs, and foster animals, including shy and senior pets. I’m reliable, patient, attentive to routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.

Absolute lifesaver! Sawyer is officially our new sitter for Kitty. Great communication & care. Upon first meeting sawyer he was easy to relay needs and was receptive to each one. I made a point to come back on Rover to make sure to leave him a review, but to also let anyone seeking a new sitter know to look no further. Thanks again Sawyer!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two girls while I was away overseas! From the start, Hayley was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with cats. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped me relax knowing my girls were happy, well-fed, and getting plenty of love. When I came home, everything was spotless—food bowls clean, litter boxes fresh, and two very content kitties waiting to greet me. It was clear they’d been well cared for and comfortable the entire time. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again the next time I travel. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving cat sitter!
