“Jenny was great! Our dog was able to play with others during her stay and run around in Jenny’s nice yard. Jenny sent pictures every day and we felt very comfortable with her watching our dog.”

“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, including seniors and puppies/kittens. I’ve been a foster with Young-Williams Animal Center since 2019 and love providing a safe, happy home for animals who make our lives richer and more loving. I currently work an 8:30 AM–5:00 PM job with a one-hour lunch break and live just five minutes from the office. I also work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility. I have a spare bedroom in my condo, and the space I provide depends on the animal’s size. For kittens, I often use the spare bathroom, keeping them warm with food, water, and a litter box nearby. For dogs, I set up their pen in the spare room with all their supplies. I also have a large fenced-in back patio where dogs can go outside, play, and run safely.
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”

“Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.”

“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”


About: Hilarious pun because I just got a wagon and desperately want to fill it with dogs. Hi! I'm Marlee, I've been fostering and training dogs for about 5 years. Since I moved here I've just been solo with my Goob, and I'm ready to start taking care of dogs again!! While fostering I took care of every make, model, shape, and year of dog, so I can handle any furry friend you send me! I'm working from home at the moment and if im leaving the house I'm going somewhere dog friendly and in nature! I'll always have time to care for your dog! I have completely open availability and im incredibly active, so your pup will always be doing something with me. I go on hikes several times a week, and would be more than happy to pile your pups in my (wag)on -sorry- and take them for a day time adventure!! Im also able to pet sit/board any days of the week. As I mentioned I'm home all the time so you can trust your dog will always be monitored, cared for, and entertained!!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown Knoxville
We cannot say enough good things about Joseph! He watched our dog, Shyanne, for several days and was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly communicative throughout her stay and sent us photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and being well cared for. We recently moved to Knoxville, and this was our very first time using Rover, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We feel incredibly lucky that we found Joseph! He took amazing care of Shyanne, kept us updated, and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. We’re already looking at our calendar to figure out when we can book with him again. We would absolutely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with their pets. Shyanne will definitely be back!

Somer was great with Millie. She responded very quickly when I put out a request for a sitter. We toured the house and yard and met her dog Luke before I left Millie. She even gave some updates on how my dog was doing, as well as a nice note from her mother about how she was appreciated. I will definitely used Somer again the next time I need a pet sitter.

Here’s a warmer and more polished version: Sallie was the best sitter we’ve ever had on Rover! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and thoughtful messages about how Yumi was doing, how she was eating, and even shared her favorite spots around her place. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Yumi was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Sallie to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our baby!

Jenny was amazing with Synna. She made the whole experience completely stress-free by sending regular updates and pictures, and I could tell Synna was having a great time. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your dog. I will absolutely book with Jenny again. Thank you for loving on my sweet girl while I was away! 🐾🤎

Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.

Kasra is the best Rover I have ever had. By far! He was kind, communicative, and went above and beyond for our dog throughout the stay. Our dog fell ill during the stay, and he handled the situation with positivity and willingness to help our dog feel better. He will definitely be our go-to Rover from now on. Thank you Kasra!

I was in need of a dog sitter extremely last minute, and Christa came through! She had great, timely communication and made me feel completely at ease. My dog absolutely enjoyed his time with her — she sent me pictures and cared for my fur baby as if he were her own. I really appreciate her kindness and reliability. I wish I lived in the area because she would definitely be my go-to sitter every time!

Caroline was a fantastic sitter! She was thoughtful and very thorough in accommodating all preferences and needs. She provided a sufficient frequency of communication during Clementine's stay. Caroline provided a welcoming and comfortable environment, and Clementine loved staying with her.
