House Sitting in Arminda

“Joy was amazing! She took phenomenal care of three dogs. They were walked multiple times a day and given lots of snuggles. I’m so excited to find someone so trustworthy to love on my pups while I’m away. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.

“Angela is wonderful! My dog just loves her and I always know that Angela will take care of her. I have booked her several times and plan to continue whenever I have to travel. Angela is a great communicator and someone I trust.”

“Kaiden did a great job housesitting and looking after our sweet but rather particular (high maintenance) senior cat. Would absolutely use him again.”

About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently unemployed. So I am mostly available throughout the week. However, I will not be available for weekends. Mainly because that's when I will be spending time with family and friends. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.

About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

“She came at last minute request and made herself available for all week. My dog is finicky, so I'm not sure how much interaction they had besides throwing the ball a few times. I didn't get any photos thru the dtay, but she also knew I was at hospital with my mom. Overall , I would use her again in an emergency, but I'm trying to get my dog to be out of kennel completely”

“Alyssa did a fantastic job house sitting for us. We are so thankful that she was available for us last minute for a weekend trip. She checked in with us every day, sent photos, and kept us updated on our pets while we were gone. It was a great experience. 100% recommend!”

About: For as long as I can remember I’ve had pets. My family has always been big dog people (loveee a lab) but now I have 5 cats 🫣. I miss taking care of my dog back home so taking care of yours will have to suffice. Please reach out I’d love to love your fur babies! I am currently a PhD student at UT and my schedule is my own. You need me to walk your dog at 12:17 pm? I’m there. Your cat has a weird quirk where they need to be held at 3:45 pm before eating? I’m your gal! All this to say I’m flexible with times and am open to random hours! I will care for your pet as if they are my own. I love and respect all animals so I can guarantee yours will be well looked after. I am a great rule follower and will follow any rules you put in place!

“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of our furry children. Plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recomend her and will rebook her when needed. Thank you Caitlyn !”

“Nancy made it possible for our cats to enjoy their days just like usual during our two-week trip. Thanks to her, we were able to worry less about them while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and kindness. If we ever need someone to look after our cats again, we would definitely ask her. Thank you, Nancy!”

About: I have a golden doodle and have taken care of him since I was 10. Golden doodles are very high energy and require a lot of attention, so I have hands on experience to provide the best level care. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have cared for a variety of dogs whether that be walking, feeding, or playing. I’m currently a college student in Knoxville for the summer so I have plenty of time. I babysit in the mornings but am very flexible! I always make pet safety and comfort my top priority. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules the owner provides. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention, patience, and care while their owners are away.

“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
