About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: My partner and I both work from home, have a fenced yard and have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds! Having no other pets in the home allow us to provide full attention to your furry friend, provide potty breaks as much as needed and give them all the love! Let us watch your pup today! Pet care fits into my daily routine easily as a WFH employee. I take a walk before and during lunch breaks daily and can provide as many potty breaks as needed. I care for pets by following instructions and information provided by their owners. I think it is beneficial to make their environment as close to home as possible when boarding with me. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to let your pet get familiar with my home and me.

Buddy hasn't been here at all this year because of our own travels but he got excited as soon as we turned on the street. He knew where he was! As soon as I opened my door he jumped over the seat and out the door and ran to the gate, eager to meet new dog friends! We always feel good leaving Buddy with Michael and family because he is well loved there and he loves playing with all the other dogs!!

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!

Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.

Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Over the past five years, I’ve trained two puppies for my family and regularly help care for the pets of friends and relatives. At home, I have two friendly dogs and two older children who are wonderful with animals. We live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks, with a nearby park for extra playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dogs and relaxing with them at home. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule with long breaks that allow me to give plenty of attention and care to the pets I watch. I truly look forward to meeting your furry family members and treating them like my own! I'm a teacher that has long breaks to be available for pet sitting during typical vacation times. We usually are up early for breakfast and morning playtime. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love other dogs. We enjoy playing out in the yard but also snuggling on the couch.

About: I’ve always had and loved dogs! I have a soft spot in my heart for doggies. I would keep my friends and family’s dogs when they would go out of town. These dogs have been all shapes and sizes! Golden retriever, Rottweiler, Pit mix, Pug, Yellow Lab, Jack Russell, and more! I also have volunteered at Young Williams Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs. I am a teacher so I have my summers off and will be readily available to care for your fur baby. I am currently raising a 5 month old Golden Retriever of my own! I am a teacher currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to play and love on dogs! I am available any day of the week for boarding as well as walks! My whole summer is revolving around taking care of my teenaged golden! We have been spending our days going to the pool, going on walks, training, playing fetch, and cuddling! I have a fenced in yard with a playful teenage golden who is ready to make friends. He is super friendly. I also have crates and a play pen inside for dogs to play in without having to free roam the house. I sometimes will take the dogs to our boat on the lake or my in-law’s pool if they enjoy water!

All I can say is Kenzie is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover.com and prior to Kenzie watching my boy Rudy, I had lots of questions. Kenzie answered all of them (very quickly I might add), and really put my mind at ease. On the day when I brought him to her, they instantly connected! It was like old friends getting back together. She was very kind, welcoming, and loving to him and it was easily seen that she has a heart for animals. At that moment any reservations I had, disappeared! I felt completely comfortable knowing that he was in great and caring hands. It was a great experience and all I know is that if I ever need someone to watch Rudy again; Kenzie is the (only) one!

About: I have had experience with puppies to seniors, all sizes, breeds and special needs. I know your pet is your baby and I care for them as if they were my own and how I’d want my baby cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from home, off all weekends and holidays. My home is pet friendly and I have a large yard to walk and play in! I want them to feel at home when they’re with me. If they’re used to sleeping in a bed, they may. Car rides, favorite snacks and toys. Crates are welcome as well.

About: **Flexible with negotiating rate through the app for stays longer than 4 days** I'm a passionate pet sitter with a profound love for animals. As a seasoned pet owner with over 12 years of pet sitting experience, I take joy in the companionship that our furry friends bring. I understand the significance of having a reliable, caring, and responsible caregiver for your furry family members while you're away, and that's exactly what I strive to be! Working from home 100% of the time allows me to offer undivided attention to your pets, ensuring they receive all the affection and care they deserve. As a pet sitter, I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and understanding of each animal's unique needs and personalities. Whether it's a playful pup or any other adorable critter, I make it my mission to create a stress-free and joyful experience for them. Your pet's well-being and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have no pets of my own so your furry babies would be my primary focus. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your beloved furry babies to feel right at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or taking them for walks around your residence, I go above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. I live on an acre of land and although it is not fenced-in I do have a 25 and 50 foot lead that can accommodate to getting out to stretch their legs on occasions throughout the day and play. When staying in my home, your pets become a part of my family and I will treat them with the same safety measures I would take if they were my own. I offer a warm and welcoming space where they can relax, play, and enjoy a stress-free stay. My home is pet-friendly, with designated areas for rest and play, and I provide all the necessary amenities to make them feel at ease. If needed, I am able to make regular visits to your residence, ensuring your pets maintain their daily routines, familiarity with their surroundings, and feel secure in their own environment. During these visits, I engage in interactive playtime, provide nourishing meals, administer any required medications with precision, and handle any other specific needs your pets may have.

Lauren was so great with our two dogs! We just needed someone to watch them for part of the day and she went the extra mile to make sure they were taken care of. They played at the local park, relaxed, and went for a great walk. We appreciated Lauren’s willingness to ask questions and make sure the experience was what we needed for the dogs. Thanks Lauren! We will definitely look you up again if we’re ever in the area!
