“We loved having Ali take care of our cat! She did an amazing job with her and always communicated with me promptly on how she was doing or if she had any concerns. She also has a wealth of knowledge giving us more comfort in leaving our pet with her. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I do work during the week at Blaine Vet. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I will go home to check on the fur babies during lunch. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.

“Melissa was so great with our pets! She is very professional, prepared, and takes detailed notes on pets and requests. She had no problem with last minute instructions when we had to take our Kitty to vet right before leaving and kept us well informed. She even took extra time to play with the kitties sometimes and took portrait worthy pics! Will be rebooking!”


“Rachel always takes great care of Smoky! Smoky is energetic, playful and loves snuggles. Rachel is able to handle Smoky so well. We greatly appreciate Rachel taking care of Smoky when we’re out of town.”


“Mandy was an amazing sitter for my cat Scooter. Not only did she do check-ins/feedings twice daily, but she also spent the night a few times with him so he wouldn’t be alone too long. I could tell from the photos that he was comfortable with her and not too anxious about me being gone. He’s usually an anxious boy, so that was a huge win for him! Mandy was communicative, professional, friendly, and dependable. She even washed the bedding she used for me! I’m so thankful Mandy could be his sitter while I was out of town.”


“Alicia was great!! Responsive, came when she said she was going to and sent pictures everyday!! Our cats were happy, which makes us happy. Would definitely repeat book with Alicia!”


“Hayley was absolutely amazing with my cat Nadja. Typically Nadja is shy around new people but Hayley was able to get her to come out of her shell pretty fast, and I knew she would be well taken care of while I was gone.”


About: I've been walking neighbors dogs since I was a small kid, volunteered at local animal shelters (walked their dogs), and also have cared for a senior dog (16 year-old poodle) before. I've learned to become patient with pets, especially when cleaning up accidents! I'm a college student at UTK, but I have open time in the mornings, afternoon, and night every weekday. On weekends, I have meetings in the afternoons, but I can still care for pets in the morning and night. I'm confident in my cleanliness, care to detail, and love for pets. I'll care for pets with my whole heart, love them as I would love my own pets, and ensure the pets have a nice experience with me.

About: I have always had pets and made my pocket money by caring for various types of animals for others. I can help with most needs. My littles are both in school now so I will have time during the school day to spoil and play with your fur babies while you are away. Relax knowing I will be there to care for and spoil your fur babies while you are away whether for or travel. I will follow instructions to a tee and provide you updates.

About: I love all pets! I have two cats and a dog of my own that I love and cherish very much. I have also had and taken care of pets ever since I was five years old! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, gerbils, and fish; however, I am more than interested in learning how to take care of your pet if I do not have experience in taking care of that type yet. When I pet sit or walk your pet, I will make sure that I take care of them the same way that I take care of my own pets, with responsibility, safety, and love. I also have six years of house sitting experience. I am very good with plants and making sure that your house is taken care of while you are away. I cannot wait to be your sitter!

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, fish, frogs, chickens, and even raised butterflies from eggs. This variety has given me a deep appreciation for the unique needs of each animal, and I tailor every visit to their comfort, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide the kind of care that lets you travel or work with total peace of mind. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, with overnight house-sitting available year-round, including busy holidays. Because I know your pups deserve love while you're away at work, I may be available for morning/lunchtime visits within Knoxville. My flexible weekend availability allows me to spend focused, unrushed time with your pets while maintaining their normal routines. I make safety, comfort, and cleanliness my top priorities. In your home, I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates—so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

“Madeleine was fantastic! She checked in on our cat while we were out of town and was both reliable and caring. We returned to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. Highly recommend!”


“Jasmine was amazing, once again! The cats look happy and that’s the most I can ask for. She even brought in our mail and packages, which was super helpful due to all of the holiday mail. Will use her again in the future! I knew my cats were cared for the entire time we were gone for the holidays.”


About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student doing rover part time during the summer and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Monday every week for two hours and an animal shelter with kitties for two hours every Thursday evening. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

About: Hey y'all! I have a love for animals and I'm looking for pets to hang out with and care for while I'm in school and working a full time job. I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license with Penn Foster. Luckily, it's a strictly online school! I'm also a full-time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. Friends and family have always considered me very trustworthy with their pets since I was young! I can't remember a time when I didn't love animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years for my family and parents' coworkers, but I thought I would step it up and try Rover! I currently work at an animal hospital and I previously worked at a doggy daycare. All of this while also being in school to get my license! These experiences have helped me gain important skills and qualifications to take care of any pet! Some of the skills that make me qualified include: -Giving oral medication -Injectable medication -Senior dog experience -First Aid -Bathing -Walking -Providing boarding care (keeping up with food, water, and playtime) -and of course I'm experienced with providing a whole lotta love! I'm currently working around 32-36 hours a week at an animal hospital, which means I work long hours occasionally, but I will still make plenty of time to stay with your fur babies and watch over them before and after work. My pet is animal reactive so she has to be kept on a leash when taken out to go potty. She eats 1 cup in the AM and PM
