“We left Harley with Penny and she sent constant updates which was very comforting! Harley can be a pain so it was nice to feel good about her stay!”

Patty H.

“Mary and her husband Bob were the best folks in Knoxville to care for our pups during our 8-day vacation. Mary regularly sent photos and I feel quite certain the pups had even more fun on their own vacation than we did! So long as Mary would have us again, we wouldn’t ever use anyone else!!! Her fenced in yard is perfect, she gave them carrots to snack on just like they get at home, and I don’t think they missed out on a single cuddle session. Thank you, Mary, for everything!”

Ashlee C.

“Joan is fantastic! We’re so happy to have found someone to watch our Lucy and care for her as we would. Our dog also has anxiety issues and Joan was wonderful with her!”

Ty N.

“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”

Linda M.

“I was able to secure a boarding with these folks last minute over a holiday weekend. They were very good.”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud Graduate Assistant for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team, and when I’m not on the court supporting our athletes, I’m loving on fur-babies of all kinds! I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, teammates, and coaches. And now I’m excited to open my schedule to new four-legged friends here on Rover. Growing up around animals and helping care for everything from playful puppies to older pets needing a little extra TLC, I’ve developed a true passion for making animals feel safe, happy, and loved, whether that means long walks, endless belly rubs, or a cozy cuddle session. Being part of a high-level athletics program has taught me the importance of routine, dependability, and high energy, all of which I bring to pet care, too. I’m organized, calm under pressure, and always ready to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. As a Graduate Assistant for the Lady Vols basketball team, I keep a structured but flexible schedule that makes it easy to include pet care throughout my week. I’m usually up early and active during the day, so I can fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets before practices, between team responsibilities, or in the evenings. Weekends are wide open for me right now — from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening (and even into Monday mornings), I’m completely free and available for overnight stays, extended visits, or anything extra your pet might need. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of the most relaxing and fun parts of my routine, and I love being able to give them my full attention when I’m not in basketball mode! I live in a clean, cozy condo in a pet-friendly area that’s perfect for regular strolls and bathroom breaks. Whether your pup enjoys short potty walks or long, sniff-filled adventures, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. Inside, your pet can expect a calm, safe, and welcoming space where they’ll never feel alone. I love creating a peaceful environment where animals can relax, snuggle up on the couch and feel totally at ease. I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to — feeding schedules, potty breaks, bedtime snuggles — to help them feel right at home. Whether we’re enjoying a walk around the block, playing with toys, or just relaxing together, your pet will be treated like family every step of the way.

“Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!”
