“Denise was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover, and she not only made the experience so seamless but loved our babies so well! We will for sure be regular and repeat clients of hers!”

About: Honest & trustworthy, dependable and loving care for your pet family members. Retired from a 22 year career in law enforcement, and spent the last several years dealing with my own senior pets and their healthcare needs (cancer, seizures, meds, etc), so I know the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your animals, whether they have special needs or not. I have a safe home with a 6’ fenced back yard, for potty breaks and playtime. I believe pets are part of the family! I am currently retired/not working, so I am flexible to meet your pet care needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, playtime, doggy day care & boarding. I have a 6’ fenced back yard, and don’t currently have any pets of my own. I am happy to adapt to whatever care your pets needs, and will try to do whatever you think would make them most comfortable. I require a meet and greet prior to boarding and doggy day care.
About: I've been walking neighbors dogs since I was a small kid, volunteered at local animal shelters (walked their dogs), and also have cared for a senior dog (16 year-old poodle) before. I've learned to become patient with pets, especially when cleaning up accidents! I'm a college student at UTK, but I have open time in the mornings, afternoon, and night every weekday. On weekends, I have meetings in the afternoons, but I can still care for pets in the morning and night. I'm confident in my cleanliness, care to detail, and love for pets. I'll care for pets with my whole heart, love them as I would love my own pets, and ensure the pets have a nice experience with me.
“Both the humans and the kitties at our house love having Ivey as our pet sitter. She is reliable, gracious, and provides excellent care for our kitties several times a year. Thank you, Ivey!”
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.
“Mandy takes great care of my pups. They are high energy and she does a nice drop-in visit that includes great details about what they do each time. She's an excellent sitter!”
About: I've raised, nurtured & loved long-lived dogs & cats my entire adult life. I've fostered dogs & cats for Humane Society affiliate in Kentucky, performed dog rescue transport & cared for my friends' pets. I am retired and home most of the time to pamper, love on & protect your fur baby in my home, drop-in at your pet's happy place and to take your fur ball for walks. I have a large, fenced & level back yard. 24/7 access is through a doggie door off the sunroom. I am a recent pet widow so your pet will have my full attention in my home.
“Emma did great and Champ loved her. She was super reliable and took time out of her Thanksgiving to come visit and take care of Champ. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will book her in the future if I need a sitter.”
“Jessica and her daughter did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie of animals while we were away. She met with me before and thoroughly took the time to learn what all I would like taken care of. She had GREAT communication throughout so that I could actually relax and not worry about everything at home. I would definitely recommend her and will be requesting her again in the future.”
“Karen is the best! Not only does she take great care of Hobie with lots of pictures but she also was kind enough to take pictures of my chickens even though I didn’t ask her to take care of them. It just proves that she cares a lot about all animals!”
About: I have always had pets and made my pocket money by caring for various types of animals for others. I can help with most needs. My littles are both in school now so I will have time during the school day to spoil and play with your fur babies while you are away. Relax knowing I will be there to care for and spoil your fur babies while you are away whether for or travel. I will follow instructions to a tee and provide you updates.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, fish, frogs, chickens, and even raised butterflies from eggs. This variety has given me a deep appreciation for the unique needs of each animal, and I tailor every visit to their comfort, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide the kind of care that lets you travel or work with total peace of mind. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, with overnight house-sitting available year-round, including busy holidays. Because I know your pups deserve love while you're away at work, I may be available for morning/lunchtime visits within Knoxville. My flexible weekend availability allows me to spend focused, unrushed time with your pets while maintaining their normal routines. I make safety, comfort, and cleanliness my top priorities. In your home, I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates—so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.
