“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!!”

“Somer did an amazing job looking after my 14-year-old beagle mix. It’s hard leaving a senior behind but Somer put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Penny was great! I definitely will be using her again! She made sure my pup was well cared for and happy! She sent lots of updates and pictures while I was on the road! Couldn't ask for a better sitter!!!!”

“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”

“Our second time leaving our pup with Miss Jenny! She is great! We receive lots of pics and videos to see our baby while we’re away. It definitely makes being away a little easier knowing he’s in good hands with her. He also gets a lot of good socialization with other dogs. He always has a blast!! Thanks Jenny! See you next time!! 🥰”

“Sallie was amazing! Penny was very happy staying with her. She got lots of walking and play time and snuggles at night. Sallie was very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos and videos. We definitely will plan on future stays with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Julie and I am a Fear Free certified caregiver! I love being outside, so I'll be happy to take your best friend wherever they want to go on walks! I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. Each confirmed booking comes with free photos of your fur baby while they are on their adventure!! I have three dogs of my own: Diesel, Callie and Benny. I have owned/been around animals my whole life, and have an extreme passion for animal care. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Thank you for trusting me with your fur-baby… I promise they are in good hands :) Currently available 24/7: Monday - Friday. 8:30am-6pm. Open to weekends! Holidays as well. Flexible schedule as of now: reach out! Open to all schedules & needs! I have a partially fenced in yard, as well as two dogs to keep your fur baby company! I also have two XL crates if needs for your baby!
“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”

“Emily had been watching my 2 senior dogs. In 2025, one unexpectedly passed away. I now have a new, younger one and my 1 senior. This was her first time keeping my new one, as well as having a lot of typical cocker spaniel habits. I appreciate her willing to step up to the challenge of my rowdy cs and his quirky way of dealing with the rain.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Deanna. She was flexible and communicative and took wonderful care of my older dog. Pearl can be a little shy and nervous but she had a wonderful time and was clearly so comfortable right away. Would absolutely stay with her again!”
“Joan took amazing care of our dog! She sent updates and pictures regularly. Especially with the July 4th holiday (fireworks) she let us know how he was feeling, which gave us peace of mind :)”

“We are so happy to have found Mary! Mary is very reliable and trustworthy. She took fantastic care of our pup for 12 days. She reported to us daily with pictures and comments. What a blessing to have Mary and her hubby as our pups caregivers. We will definitely contact 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.”

“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”

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.

Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

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.
