“Ysalys was great with all 3 of my animals and communicates very well. We will definitely book her again!”
“Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!”
“Melissa was the PERFECT sitter for my baby! She was so thorough on her meet and greet that I was instantly put at ease about using rover for the first time. She sent me so many pictures and updates even though it was only one night because I told her there is no such thing as too many updates 😅 She is so quick with communication and I already have her booked for a second time for a last minute work trip! You will be so pleased if you trust Melissa with your fur babies!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life, all who I’ve had since being a puppy to when they cross the rainbow bridge. Comfortable with all life stages. I’m available for sitting on weekends starting at 5 on Friday. Also many times I am available during the week for a pop in or walk! I can promise your pups are in good hands. I’m prompt and know how to be professional (that doesn’t mean I don’t love to play)!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently own sweet Zola, a two year old Dalmatian rescue! My family and I run a non-profit animal rescue in East Tennessee in our free time that provides animal care, education, TNR, and a free community pet pantry. Additionally, I have experience with house sitting in the past for family friends. With this being said, I am experienced in day-to-day animal care for dogs and cats of all sizes, needs, and personalities. I also have experience in turtle and prairie dog care and am open to caring for all animals. I’m finishing up my last year of college and am joining rover to add additional income during this time! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me, I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members :) I’m currently working my primary job and attending classes Tuesday through Friday. My primary job’s shifts are 4-6 hours, so I can still house sit these days as long as your pet is okay home alone for a few hours at a time. I am completely free for scheduling of any of my services Saturday through Sunday unless otherwise posted. I am pretty flexible and am willing to work with you on dates to provide you the best flexibility and care for your pet! When caring for your pet, I always treat them like family—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. In your home, I aim to maintain the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications. Please provide me these details as well as anything I should know prior to the service. I’ll ensure the environment remains clean, secure, and stress-free. Additionally, I always take time to bond with the pet to help them feel as comfortable as possible without you! I will send updates and adorable pictures of your pet for peace of mind as often as you like!
About: I really enjoy caring for pets. I'm a teacher by trade, and I have a lot of patience and thoughtfulness in caring for others' children just as I would your pet(s). I've had my dog since she was a puppy. I've been patient with her, and it shows in her calm demeanor. I am entirely free during the summer months, so I can make my schedule work with yours. Just tell me when you need me, and I'll be reliable in your pet care needs. I have a fenced yard with one dog and one cat in my home. I'll be home for the majority of any day that I am taking care of your pet.
“Sijal was fantastic! She picked up & dropped off, and I can tell that my dog got plenty of attention. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve dog sat for the past 5 years. I have a wide range of experience from small dogs to big dogs. I ensure your peace of mind on vacation, knowing your furry friends are enjoying their own getaway. I’m currently home from college. I am free until August 19th but will still be open for jobs in Knoxville and Nashville (when I come home occasionally). I have two of my own dogs that are very friendly and love company. In addition, I have a crate and a play pin if your dog needs a nap time. I love taking the dogs for walks on the trails near my house. I also have a huge backyard for the dogs to run around.

Downtown Knoxville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hope was awesome with my dog, Amelia! I got pictures and updates and funny anecdotes about their time together while I was on vacation. I can tell that Amelia was loved well. I absolutely plan on using her again in the future!!
Hailey is amazing! We trust her to care for our pup and she is so communicative and responsive. She sends lots of photos and updates and I can’t recommend her enough!
We had a great experience with Jasmin. She was very professional from the beginning with the meet and greet and responding to messages promptly. She sent daily updates and lots of photos. I would use her again and recommend to friends/family.
Chelcie did a great job with our dog, Dolly. Very patient and attentive to her.
Katherine did an awesome job with my 3 fur babies. I have one the late is very hesitant with new people and is also terrified of storms. Katherine dealt with her wonderfully and it didn’t take long for the pup to warm up to Katherine
Michael was very professional, took great care of my pups and of the house! Our little skittish Kristen warmed up to him relatively quickly. We hope Michael will be able to visit Warren and Kristen again sometime!
Heather took good care of our dog and house during a long weekend. Appreciate the communication before and during our visit.
Great! Communication great. All pets happy! No issues or problems.
Katie watched our dog for us for an entire week when we were away on our honeymoon. She took our dog for walks, on car rides, and gave him so much love and attention. She was awesome, we highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets as their own! We couldn’t be happier!
