“Meredith was a fantastic dog sitter while I was away! She sent frequent updates and photos. I knew my dog was in good hands. Definitely would book with her again.”
“Caillynn is so sweet & kind. We were visiting the Knoxville Area & right as we arrive the rover sitter we had cancelled on us. We contacted Caillynn and she took our babies in early the next day. She played with them, made sure they were clean and happy. This is all we can ask for! As a anxious dog mom, i have never left my babies with anyone other then my mom and 1 other sitter and when we come back to the area we definitely plan to use her services again, Thank you Caillynn!!”
“Penny was great! Henry had a great stay. We received text and photo updates and Penny was super flexible with us with pickup and drop off times. Would definitely leave our baby with Penny again!”
“Stacey took great care of Buddy while I was on vacation. She sent me the most adorable pictures of him playing and sleeping at her house. She asked a lot of questions about Buddy before watching him to help her understand him. 10/10 highly recommend Stacey!”
“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”
“Mary was very professional and kind! She checked in with me everyday with photos and updates on how my dog was doing. She was easy to get into contact and fast to respond. Great dog sitter!”

“Sierra and Jack were great! Arlo seemed to have a great time based on all the pictures and videos that were sent during his stay with them. Arlo will definitely be staying with them again when I go on my next trip!”

About: I have lived with dogs from a young age. I have trained dogs and loved dogs all my life. I frequently watch my friends dogs and I am always available for walk. Dogs seem to love me and the feeling is mutual. I am responsible and I have my own means of transportation. You can trust that your loved one will be taken well care of in my home. I know how important these best friends are I currently work from my apartment with no set schedule. I am very active and I walk my dog Luna about 4 miles a day, broken up into smaller walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I live adjacent to a fenced dog park. I can provide a crate,leashes and dog toys if needed.
“Lauren is great with Bobby! Hes always excited to visit and has a great time playing with Beau! She’s also super responsive and great at communicating - which is so very much appreciated!”
“Jaimee and Taylor took the best care of our pups! They have such a great yard/space for the dogs and kept us updated on all the fun activities they got to do. They treated our pets like their own and I was so comfortable knowing they were having the best time. We will definitely use them again! Thank you guys so much!”
“Becca was fantastic with Milly and has a great setup for dogs. She has a fenced in yard and cameras set up so she can check on your baby during the day. I highly recommend Becca!!”
