About: I grew up with animals, so I learned how to care for them at a young age. My sister worked with a dog training company and often employed my help. Whatever your furball needs, I am the girl! I am a college student who is going to be home for summer break, and I’m looking for a fun way to earn some cash. I will have a lot of free time this summer, so I am excited to get to spend it with animals! I have cared animals of all types (horses, chickens,etc) so there’s nothing new under the sun for me. If you prefer your animal to be crated or in the backyard while I’m away, I have no problem with that. I pride myself on being flexible and adaptable.

“Stephanie walked our black lab Hank without any issues. Great communication and knew when he did not like the rain and wanted to go back inside. She stayed with him in the house for a few minutes as well. Will definitely let her walk him again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with pets, I learned early on the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family members by pet sitting and caring for their dogs and cats. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, sick animals requiring extra attention, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges or aggression. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient, attentive, and committed to giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I work a flexible and non demanding remote job, giving me plenty of time throughout the day to provide attentive pet care. I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and lots of companionship to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs, including senior pets, sick animals, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I always take the time to build trust with each pet and monitor them closely to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away.

“Anna was fantastic with my puppy Lucille! She was very communicative, always on time, and provided the best updates to keep me at ease while she was in walking Lucille. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone and would gladly rebook her!”

About: I have owned pets of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. I grew up helping family friends care for shelter dogs prior to adoption including feeding, walking and playing with them.

Aside from school and work, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to accommodate for whatever hours are needed.

About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours volunteering in the community (Knoxville), which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs.

I typically work during the day for about 7 hours, usually from 6 AM–1 PM or 8 AM–3 PM, but I’m happy to stop by before and after work to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they need. I’m respectful of your home, your instructions, and your pet’s boundaries. My experience has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant, and prepared, especially in situations where someone is depending on me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. P.s - MY dog is a RUNNER so don’t worry I know how to make sure they stay inside.
About: Been pet sitting since I was in high school for all sorts of dogs and cats, and currently working in a clinic as a vet assistant. Currently a university student and working part time, most of my availability is on weekends or on evenings but I am able to make time! I love to keep animals company and love on them, play with them, whatever they need! I am comfortable with large and small dogs, old or young, and cats as well!!
“Liza was an absolute gem during our first encounter! Despite the pouring rain and dreadful weather, she took my dog Luna on a two-hour walk through Greenwich Village. Liza's commitment and care for Luna was so evident. When Luna returned, she was clearly well-exercised and content, albeit very wet. I can't thank Liza enough for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly be booking her again for future walks. Five stars for Liza - a fantastic dog walker and caregiver!”

About: Since I was a boy, I have lived and grown up with Mastiffs, a German Shepherd, Doberman, a Boxer, and Rottweilers. At 15 I began dog and cat sitting for people in my hometown, Soddy Daisy. Not only can I handle the physical demands of pet sitting, I enjoy it! Dogs and cats with special needs and have to be carried are no problem. I've cared for my neighbor's dog, Bandit, who suffers from trauma and anxiety, for several years. I'm a college student in my senior year, and as such I have classes through the week. I need to be on campus by 9am (8am on Wednesdays) and am typically done after 5pm. Nights and weekends are ideal! If you have an overnight obligation and need a pet sitter, then you're in the right place. I've lived with dogs since I was born. My mother is a certified pet trainer, and I learned to take the time and energy training our dogs with a compassionate hand. Each of the pets I've had possessed unique personalities, so I know some adaptation is needed at all times. In your home, my job as a pet sitter is to stand by your established rules, making sure your pet knows I follow the same rules they do.
About: Hey there! I’m Zen, and I have been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. Not to mention I’ve had several pets over the years, cats and dogs. I would be honored to have to the pleasure of looking after your fur babies! I’m currently doing a cross country road trip in my mini RV, and services like Rover help me stay on the road! My availability is very accommodating and I can be there for your pet any time, day or night. I will always strive to ensure that your pet is the most comfortable they can be. Whether it’s offering them treats, playing with them, or simply spending time in their presence to so they don’t feel lonely. Whatever is necessary, I can surely make happen.
About: I've always been dedicated to my pets growing up, and loved to meet with other's pets. While I'm relatively new to professional pet care, I've watched my family and friends' pets since my youth! I'm dedicated to communicating with pet parents while I care for their pets to make sure they have the best experience possible. I have experience administering oral (dogs) and transdermal/ear medications (cats). My schedule is currently open and flexible! I am a recent UTK grad, and although I have completed my studies as a college student, I am continuing work on one of my projects, and most of my work is from the computer, and am also partaking in a field internship a couple days out of the week. I am taking a break from other forms of work, so I'm very available to help you with your petsitting needs. I am a morning person and would work well with 'early bird' pets, but can be flexible if a pet needs a late night let out, medication, or other attention during late night hours. I share my house with roommates and their pets, so I'd prefer to watch your pet in your home unless I've gotten to know and built trust with your pet over several visits. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including time together on the couch watching a show, napping together, or going out for strolls or to the park to relax outside.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown Knoxville
Lyla was great, took care of everything and followed pet care instructions to the letter. Charlie seems happy, healthy and well rested when I got home, didn't seem stressed at all and looked like he was enjoying his walks. Fish look perfect, not overfed! On the minute updates of Charlie's actions and potty break info, pictures with each update. 10/10 will hire again

Courtney did amazing with my young puppy. I was very grateful that she walked him over a mile!! That is really hard to do with a puppy but made me feel better being away. She had great communication and she loved on him. Highly recommend booking with Courtney.
