“My dogs, Masha and Mindy, love coming for an overnight at the home of James and Amy. The dogs are excited about their new adventure when we leave them. And the dogs seem very happy and well taken care of when we pick them up. James keeps us posted via text during our absence.”


“Rosie and James communicate throughout the stay with pictures of our pet, and they are always ready when I pick up and drop off, which is nice. Would definitely recommend and use them again!”


“Excellent care! Lisa and her husband were fabulous with Buffalo. They kept me updated throughout my trip and provided lots of photos. Will use these two next time I go out of town!”



“From the reports and photo that Lisa sent, evidently J.J. made her little self right at home. This was our 1st time to use Rover and J.J.'s second time to stay away from home. Huge success and we will never board her in a kennel. We love having someone to take care of her in their home and give her the attention (maybe more) that we would give her. She was happy to see us but not overly so, not shaky/trembling and clingy. Just very tired! LOL Thanks for loving on our little one!!! We will definitely use Lisa again whenever we are in the Sevierville area.”


“Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.”



“Pamela is so great and so sweet with my Henry! We feel at ease knowing he’s comfortable and happy staying with her. Her home is clean and in a beautiful area, great for his walks. This was his second visit with her and I’m sure there will be more.”


“Mary was the absolute best! My poor pup got 2 front paw injuries during our hike at the Appalachian trail. She came last minute to pick him up and care for him. She did such a great job that my pup came back very improved! I know he had a great time and is recommend for anyone and everyone to use Mary. She was so caring and sweet that I gave her hugs before leaving. Thank you Mary! You brought so much peace for me to complete my section hike of the trail!”



“My experience with Amanda was outstanding! I was nervous about leaving my small older dog with someone new but the entire experience went very well. Amanda asked a lot of questions about him beforehand and kept in touch with pictures or information about how he was each day. I will definitely feel comfortable using Amanda each time we go away and hope she will be available.”


“Brandi is amazing! She did great with our fur babies and making sure they had a great time. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent and all the updates! Definitely will be booking with her again! ?”


“Carrie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and was great with communication! We received photos everyday. She and her family treated our pup like part of their family and she came home happy & healthy! We highly recommend Carrie and will definitely book with her again!”


“Michelle was awesome! We had a reservation that was not pet friendly and needed a pet sitter for our miniature poodle Tripp. Michelle was able to work it out with us and keep him a few hours for us. She updated us with pictures and messages of our sweet boy being completely spoiled by her and her husband. This was our first time using this service and we had a great experience. Thank you for treating Tripp like he was one of yours.”


About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

“Kristel is the best! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a puppy sitter. She sent plenty of photo updates and made our pup so comfortable at her place. I could tell she genuinely cared about juniper and it made me feel at ease leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely book again!! Thanks again Kristel! You are the best!!”


“Autumn was awesome with our puppy chase. She kept us updated with pictures, what he ate and if he went potty. He came home totally happy and tired. Will use her again when we come up to North Carolina. ♥️”


“Sampson absolutely loves to go to Bethany's house. We are so thankful that we have somewhere for Sampson to go when we are out of town that we know is a safe place that he enjoys. Bethany is very flexible and easy to work with. She is truly the best dog sitter around.”


“This was our first time using Rover! Danita was absolutely awesome with Bandit. We can’t say enough good things about her! She sent us daily updates and pictures! She took Bandit on walks and he got plenty of exercise and fresh air. We will definitely use her again!”


About: I have a decade of experience with animal care, both in pet sitting and animal rescue. Please reach out for dog day camp or boarding needs. I am available from early morning until 10 PM, allowing me to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. For pups that come to day camp or board with us, we start our mornings going for walks, followed by breakfast and a little relaxation time out doors. Then we head out for a hike in the woods to burn off energy and get plenty of time to explore and socialize with the pack. I arrange a meet and greet with the pet and owner to understand the pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I am Pet CPR and Safety certifiied and make your pet's safety and security a top priority.
