“Thank you so much Alexandra for the help with our fur babies. She took care of our 2 crazy frenchies and a grumpy ole cat while we visited our grandkids. She sent pictures to us and when we check in on the cameras they were happy to see her. I would highly recommend Alexandra for your pet needs. :)”
“Dani did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was very dependable and did everything we needed and more. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again if needed.”
“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Cassie was great! She was very positive and responsive and helpful and easy to work with. She came by a couple days before to meet my dog and see my house and I had no issues while I was gone. I felt like my dog was taken care of— she’s a senior dog, 14, and she did a great job. She took pictures. She updated me about her well-being. She took her for a walk each drop-in and she refilled her bowls.”
About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!
“Lauren did a fantastic job with my Chester! I looked forward to her updates everyday, as she left little notes about the kitty's demeanor. From the looks of, Lauren formed a nice bond with my Chester. I was completely at ease knowing that my cat was in the best of hands under her attentive care. Thank you again!”
About: Growing up I was always the person my neighbors, teachers, and aunts went to when they needed a dog sitter. I always enjoyed doing this and even at a young age I knew I was responsible for someone’s whole world! Now having my own puppy, a one year old Plotthound, I understand even more how important it is to be an attentive and caring pet sitter! I am currently beginning my first semester at law school at Lincoln Memorial! Even with I still have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to to stop by for a quick visit or walk, especially on the weekends! While I am unable to have dogs in my home, I will be very attentive to all pets while watching them whether that be in a clients home, yard, or on a walk. Being a pet sitter my service is providing as much care and attention to pets as possible during a visit.

“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️

Jumpy/Mouthy?✅ Undersocialized?✅ Bite History?✅ Resource Guarding?✅ Reactive?✅ Leash puller?✅ Handling Sensitivities?✅ Neds medication?(oral or shot)✅ Needs medicated baths?✅ I have a high passion for animals and have recently started pet sitting full time. Now I can provide your fur babies with all day love, cuddles, and exercise! My previous line of work helps me learn how to deal with behavioral and medical issues more adequately for pet sitting. I can take care of any special needs that your pet has. I will provide all of the love they want. If your dog is spoiled, I can continue that tradition. If you have specific rules for your dog, I will continue those as well. I will treat your dog as my own
“Always happy when Jill is available to check in on our girls. This time, we had some packages arrive early unexpectedly (including a huge Chewy box - sorry Jill!) and she brought them in for us. I always know my house and pets will be taken care of with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.
About: I have cared for dogs personally for the majority of my life. I also gained professional experience working at a doggie daycare where I got to play and cuddle with a variety of dogs! At the doggie daycare, I learned some helpful methods on how to handle and evaluate a dog’s temperament for a group setting. I’m currently working part-time and am available on the weekends from 12 pm till 11 pm! Due to having classes during the week, my best time to work is the weekends. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and live just down the hill from a dog park. My roommate also has a dog to keep yours company!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Heiskell
Alexandra was wonderful with Queen. She was communicative, punctual, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions. Giving fluids solo is not easy, and she handled it confidently while keeping me updated with photos. Queen seemed relaxed and well cared for. I would definitely book Alexandra again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Heiskell is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,195 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Heiskell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
