House Sitting in Farragut

“Sure! Here’s a concise and positive review you can leave for your Rover dog sitter: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ysalys was fantastic! Super communicative throughout the entire stay—kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book again!”

“I almost do not want to post a review for selfish reasons. Emma has watched our dogs twice and is fantastic! She is great with the dogs. She is our go to for house sitting!”

“Emery did an amazing job looking after my 2 dogs and my house when I had to take a last-minute work trip. They each have very different needs/temperaments but Emery did a wonderful job attending to them both. She even left them custom-made REPORT CARDS that are now pinned to my fridge. 10/10, highly recommend, will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Kiersten is an accomplished young woman with a gift caring for animals. I have a skittish rescue cat who thrived under Kiersten's care. I would have her take care of Scooter again and highly recommend her to others”

MICHELE D.

“Without a doubt, Emma is an animal lover! Our dog and 2 cats were cared for as we instructed and beyond. We spent a week away without a worry about them or our house. She communicated regularly and was a pleasure to interact with….always positive and thinking in advance about our pets needs. We enthusiastically recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

“Alexa did an awesome job taking care of our pets while we were out of town. She came over ahead of time to make sure she was a good fit as a sitter and to get all of the care instructions. She communicated excellently morning and evening and sent pics too. 10 out of 10. Will definitely ask her to care for them again. Thank you Alexa!”

About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.

“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”

Jacklyn R.

“Absolutely loved having Caterina take care of our Teddy while we were away for the holiday weekend! From the start, she was super easy to communicate with—she made sure to touch base before, during, and after her stay, which really put us at ease. We especially appreciated that she stayed overnight with Teddy; knowing he had company made all the difference. The photos and updates she sent were the best part—it was so comforting to see him happy and well taken care of. He was clearly in great hands, being spoiled with love and attention in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Caterina again next time we’re away! Highly recommend!”

Sheila C.

“We are so happy to have finally found the perfect Rover to take care of our pups when we are out of town. Lilly did an amazing job- she not only treated our house like her own, she gave the love and attention to our fur babies that they deserve. She was very responsive, respectful, and loving to our pups while we were away. She sent constant pictures and videos which we greatly appreciated. We could tell immediately when we got home the pups had been in good hands. Thank you Lilly!”

Jessica S.

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”

Bridget S.

“April was really great. She took care of ritz like he was her own. She played with him, gave him treats and loved on him. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: With 6 years of experience caring for pets, I offer loving, responsible, and attentive care — always treating each animal with the affection and respect they deserve. I currently work as a house cleaner during the week, so I am available to care for your pets from Thursday at 5:30 PM until Monday at 8:00 AM. During this time, I can fully dedicate myself to providing your pets with loving, responsible, and attentive care — whether it’s for overnight stays, weekend sitting, or extended care. In-Home Pet Care: I care for your furry loved ones in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. By staying in their familiar environment, your pet can maintain their regular routine — which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Mary Catherine is the absolute BEST! She is intentional, punctual, trustworthy, kind, reliable, sweet, loving, I could go on and on! She kept me updated on our dogs, livestock and home as we were away for 7 days! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur babies and I recommend her x10! Thank you Mary Catherine for all you did for us!!”

Katie C.

About: I have cared for cats and dogs at all life stages and I have experience giving medication, giving lots of love and attention, scratchies and play time! I have a flexible schedule and have availability to do drop ins, walks, and feeding 7 days a week at scheduled times for dogs and cats. I am also open to day boarding your pup up to 50#. For Drop in visits I will make sure your fur baby has fresh water, potty break, loving, play time and treats if allowed. I will also bring in mail/packages if you would like. Daycare in my home I have 1 cat and 1 dog, a crate if needed and fenced back yard. Your pup must be up to date on all vaccinations, flea and tick, and heartworm and provide proof of records. Your pup must be house trained and well behaved in order to day board and a scheduled meet and greet in my home prior to care, for the safety of all of our fur babies. I will not accept dogs that display aggressive behavior towards people or other pets.

“Mary L did a wonderful job with house sitting all week for our dog Charlie, who is ten and 55 pounds. He also is missing a foot and she did great with walking him with his boot on. She is definitely responsible and accommodating for whatever your pet needs! The house is in great shape on our return.”

“Britany is amazing and loved on our little baby while we were away! Would definitely recommend using her to watch your babies!!”

About: I worked in the grooming department of PetSmart as a bather while getting my nursing prerequisites many many moons ago, and I loved that job. Prior to that I have had my own dogs, helped train my mom's dogs and animal/home sat for countless families beginning around age 10. I just love loving on just about all creatures. ( I am more of an admiring observer of snakes and spiders!) I love being a Nurse as well, but compassion fatigue and burnout are much higher risks in that field. So I swore, if I ever had the chance, to spend more energy and focus on being with animals, I would. My goal is to build more experience in this world and have that experience inform a pet care/boarding brick and mortar business, while meeting new people through their pets. I am skilled at blending fun with a high level of professionalism. I look forward to meeting you and in building a stellar reputation in the pet care space. Currently, I am flexible for daily care anytime and/or to care for your pet anytime you travel or go on vacation, as long as I get enough notice. I recently decided to step away from my administrative role in healthcare in order to ward off burnout and get back to caring for others in a different capacity after some rest and reset time. I love caring for animals large and small and this will give me a chance to re-connect with the things I love, allow me time and practice in getting back to simple pleasures, slower pace, and still meet my nursing heart needs; by having people and pets to pour my caring nature into. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, we do have a great neighborhood to walk in, with sidewalks, paths/trails into wooded areas that then open up to an open field and will take them on walks 4 to 5 times per day. My husband and I are newlyweds and since I am a newly recovering workaholic, we did not have time for a pet. This means now that I have time, I can prioritize your pet. Does your pup like to hike? So do I!. Happy to take him/her on a hike if that's a desire, often times my husband will join me so you'll have two human friends watching over your furry family. I don't typically like to socialize dogs (especially puppies) at dog parks (I like to socialize them with dogs I know until they get older and/or we have had enough time to build a trusting relationship with one another), but if your dog is used to dog parks I am happy to take them to your prefered dog park. I am active so my default is to do things that I can include them, i.e. anything from running to Home Depot to get something to taking them out to eat and enjoying some patio time. I was trained in human care as a nurse but do have experience providing first aid to pets. Because I was a bather and weirdly enjoy it, I am always willing to do more than just clean off visable dirt. I am game for hours of brushing and beautifying your pet. Do you have a dog that hates baths and makes it near impossible; we can work on that. I will treat your home with the care and attention to detail that I would want given to mine. In fact, for an additional fee if you need anything on your property organized, cleaned, gardened, etc.. while I am there and is within reason, I love to keep busy and would be happy to discuss what I can help you cross off your to-do list. Happy to do grocery or supply runs, pick-up laundry, make pet food from scratch, etc... I am here to make life easier and enjoy your animals in the process.

“Lydia did an outstanding job, taking care of our boys while we were gone! Our house and our boys were in excellent shape when we walked in. So excited to have met Lydia and now have someone we can trust to stay with the boys so we can travel! I definitely think we missed the boys more than they missed us because Lydia was here. Would hands-down recommend her to anyone I know and will ask her to come back and stay with the boys again soon!”
