11. Jasmin R.
“If I could give Jasmin 10 stars, I would, but Rover only allows five! She took the time to do a meet and greet with me and my 8-week old puppy. Jasmin is ALWAYS on time which is important to me because we are potty training. She provides recaps with photos and a note. She also came to my rescue on very short notice. I will use Jasmin’s services for as long as I can. ☺️”

18. Reese R.
About: Hello! I’m a University of Tennessee student who is dedicated in pursuing a veterinary career. I currently work as a veterinary assistant and grew up pet sitting around the neighborhood. I’m comfortable with all types of animals but especially love cats and dogs! During the summer, I’ll be working at a veterinary clinic in Knoxville, but I’ll have plenty of availability before and after work, as well as on weekends, to help with animal care. When I’m at a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any specific requests they may have. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for by keeping to their routines and giving them plenty of attention.
19. Reagan F.
“Reagan is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her stay with Lexi and Rupp again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for. My dogs love everybody, but they go nuts when Reagan walks through the door, probably because of her calm and kind manner with them.”
20. Gwenyth L.
“Gwen is a true animal lover! She is responsible and always gives our dogs the love and care they need when we are gone! I cannot recommend her enough!”
