About: I am a recent UTK animal science graduate. I worked at a dog boarding and day care facility for a summer in 2023. I have dog sat all throughout my high school years and some in college. I worked with horses in the summer of 2024. I love animals and want to pursue a career in animal health! I am very passionate about animals! I am a very flexible person. I recently graduated from The University of Tennessee and am in the process of looking for jobs. Most of my days are pretty open. I am a very trustworthy and reliable person who will always have the animals best interest at heart! I love working with animals and I can’t wait to meet them! I have dog sat many times and am very good with watching over them.

About: Hello! I am Stephanie, a neuroscience/pre-med/psychology student at UTK! With my education, I apply it to my job as your caretaker. For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm animals, to big, playful dogs, to small, shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures, paralysis, partial blindness, and behavioral issues with other dogs. I care for animals of all ages and sizes! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! Besides occasional obligations from school, I have plenty of time every day to play, exercise, love on, and feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple hours throughout the day and can stay home full time around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.

“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”

“Thanks again, Allison, for taking such good care of our boy. He's never stressed out when we get home, but quite content. Such a comfort to know he's getting quality time with you!”

Claire P.

“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age, size, and personality since I was 10. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and families with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’ve also fostered dogs through local shelters. I’m attentive to medical needs and experienced with giving oral medications, topical treatments, and following detailed care instructions from vets and owners. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or a dog who just needs extra patience and reassurance, I love making every pup feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. I work Monday–Thursday from 10 am–3 pm, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and check‑ins throughout the day. I also get a lunch break in the middle of my shift, so I’m often able to stop by for midday visits. On weekends, I’m fully available and love helping out whenever families need extra support. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings, so I’m typically available for boarding or overnight stays any day of the week after 3 pm. My schedule makes it easy for me to give your pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes to ensure no one slips out or gets into anything unsafe. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions exactly as you leave them — feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training, potty breaks, and any special rules you have. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets have a calm, loving environment with lots of supervision and structure. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, including those who need extra patience, medical attention, or a slower pace. Whether I’m staying overnight, dropping in, or taking your pup for a walk, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and completely at ease.

“Taylor went above and beyond for my little fur baby! She was very communicative about everything going on during her drop in visits and seems to be very loved by my dog. Will definitely book again next time I go out of town.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.

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.

“Brooke was great. Came for an initial meet with me and my pet before booking, even on short notice. She took great care of my cat, cleaned his litter each visit and made sure to play with him for a while each visit. Will definitely book Brooke again next time I'm out of town.”
