“Chloe took care of our 3 dogs and she was wonderful! She was reliable and kept us updated with texts and photos. Our dogs loved her. She went above and beyond to take care of our pups and we would highly recommend her!”
“Ashley went above and beyond for us and our dogs! She came over the day before watching them to meet them and know their routines. She took them out on nice, long walks and was dedicated in her care! She took pictures and videos of her outings with them and communicated regularly with us. She was so sweet with them!”
“Katie was incredible!!! Bella loved hanging out with her. I would definitely call on her again if she’s available next time we have a need. I can’t say enough just how great she was and took such great care of Bella!”
“Emery did an amazing job looking after my 2 dogs and my house when I had to take a last-minute work trip. They each have very different needs/temperaments but Emery did a wonderful job attending to them both. She even left them custom-made REPORT CARDS that are now pinned to my fridge. 10/10, highly recommend, will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We’re so glad we found Meredith to help us take care of our 4-month-old puppy and senior cat. They’re both a handful but Meredith is so loving and professional with them. My fur babies can’t wait to see her again!”
“Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!”
About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.
About: I have had dogs since I was a little kid (36 now!), and I have been the main caretaker of all of them. I've had several different breeds and sizes and get along with all kinds of dogs. My wife and I currently work from home and are home bodies in the evening. We would love to watch your dog and give our Cooper some new friends! We are available any day of the week to board or sit. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly 1 and 1/2 year old pup that loves to play with other dogs. We have a crate if your pet needs it for sleeping or comfort.
About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.
“We are so happy to have finally found the perfect Rover to take care of our pups when we are out of town. Lilly did an amazing job- she not only treated our house like her own, she gave the love and attention to our fur babies that they deserve. She was very responsive, respectful, and loving to our pups while we were away. She sent constant pictures and videos which we greatly appreciated. We could tell immediately when we got home the pups had been in good hands. Thank you Lilly!”
“I am a helicopter-pup mom and honestly a little much when it comes to my two babies! My normal pet sitter is no longer able to pet sit and I was so nervous going through an app and choosing a complete stranger to take care of my babies while I was out of town. From the moment I met her, I felt safe. Alexa has a sweet and calming demeanor. She sent me photos and updated me on how they were doing. She even brought her dog over to visit (with my permission)! I will definitely utilize her services again and recommend her!”
“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.
About: With 6 years of experience caring for pets, I offer loving, responsible, and attentive care — always treating each animal with the affection and respect they deserve. I currently work as a house cleaner during the week, so I am available to care for your pets from Thursday at 5:30 PM until Monday at 8:00 AM. During this time, I can fully dedicate myself to providing your pets with loving, responsible, and attentive care — whether it’s for overnight stays, weekend sitting, or extended care. In-Home Pet Care: I care for your furry loved ones in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. By staying in their familiar environment, your pet can maintain their regular routine — which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Monica! I live in Oak Ridge and absolutely love meeting new pets of all breeds and personalities. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at once and have experience with a variety of breeds including Chows, Boxers, Labradors, Great Danes, and Labradoodles. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime in the yard, or little adventures, I make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved. I’m also experienced with medication schedules and special care needs—one dog I watched had thyroid issues and needed medication at the same time every day, so I know how important consistency is for their health and comfort. I work from home, which means I’m super flexible and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home so I can be super flexible, especially if your dog needs medication at a certain time of the day or week. I care for pets in their home by following their regular routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and keeping their space clean and safe. I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my own home.
“Annabelle took amazing care of Brandy and Phoebe, as always!-I’ve had experiences with sitters in the past that left me with some concerns, but she has no trouble making me feel like my pups are safe and well cared for. Thanks again Annabelle!!!”
“Jasmine was amazing, once again! The cats look happy and that’s the most I can ask for. She even brought in our mail and packages, which was super helpful due to all of the holiday mail. Will use her again in the future! I knew my cats were cared for the entire time we were gone for the holidays.”

Jessica U.
“Jessica has looked after my cat multiple times in the last few years. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure that their needs are met and they get quality time with her. When I was away she would regularly send me videos of them playing and pictures of them cuddling on the couch. She was more than willing to accommodate her schedule as well to ensure that my cat was not left alone for extensive periods of time. I never once felt uneasy or nervous leaving because Jessica was the best pet sitter and always attentive. I cannot recommend her enough, she will always be top on my list of people to call when I am going out of town.”
Taylor B.
“2 months after I’d adopted my 1 year old Labrador mix (Nova), I had to leave her to go to a family event out of state. I was dreading leaving her, and the thought of leaving her at one of those big chain Pet Hotels made me even more reluctant to leave. However, in a stroke of major luck, I was spared from the big chain experience when I found out Taylor and his wife (my coworker) were not only available to watch Nova, but were thrilled to watch her. I was gone from Thursday to Sunday evening, and every day I received multiple updates from Taylor, including videos, pictures, and progress reports. When I picked Nova up, she was not only thoroughly exhausted from all the playtime she had, but she’d been taught some new skills, like catching a ball on its first bounce (something she’d struggled with when I was working with her). One big point to note—Nova had a fairly big potty accident on the first night she was staying there (new environment, she was acclimating to the new schedule). Taylor just rolled with it—cleaned it up, took her outside so she could potty in the correct area, and that was the end of it. The fact that she only had the one accident tells me that she swiftly felt at home there—if she’d have been reprimanded too harshly, or punished, there’s no doubt in my mind she would’ve had more accidents. I’d let Taylor watch Nova any day of the week, and would recommend him to anyone!”

“Emma has been a lifesaver for our pets! She’s watched our two cats multiple times while we were out of town, and they absolutely adore her — even our shy one comes out to snuggle with her! She’s also been a huge part of our dog’s life since he was a puppy. From potty training to leash walking to playtime and snuggles, she’s been patient, reliable, and so loving. We trust her completely with our pets and our home. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Emma is the one.”
Maracely C.
“I strong recommend Mara’s service to take care of pets. I left my two dogs Owain and Lana on her care for almost a week. She took care them in my own place, which helped in not stressing Owain and Lana while we are out. She was easy to communicate and followed my recommendations with their food and go out times. In addition, she also loves dogs, which is a big plus. If you need someone to help with your pet, I would not hesitate to contact her.”
