“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”


About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”
“Angela was absolutely amazing. She exceeded our expectations. We are typically very skeptical of meeting new people on Rover. Our dog is just as picky. He took to her right away and couldn't leave her alone. She communicated with us every step of the way. She sent pictures and updated us as she came and went. She left our home in the same condition it was in when she left. We will most definitely be using her in the future! Thank you again so much Angela!”


About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
About: Lifelong pet owner trusted by coworkers, neighbors, and family for pet sitting. I treat every pet like family and am glad to send regular updates and photos . I work full-time but am completely available to pet sit Monday thru Friday after 4 pm. I am also available weekends for the full day and overnight. I want you and your pet to be at ease , so I am willing to care for them in their own home surrounded by their own things.
About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
“Hayley was so amazing! Fantastic communication, very responsible and respectful, and so great with my fur kid! I truly did not worry at all about how things were going while I was away. Hayley is so thoughtful and caring. Love love love Hayley!!!!”

“Naomi was fantastic and took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were traveling. Kept everything very clean and neat highly recommend her for any time you need to travel and want to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gina was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Sirius! Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated the whole time with messages and pictures. Sirius was clearly well cared for, and he absolutely loved her! We highly recommend Gina and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

About: I sit for most of my friends and families animals. I have had two Senor dogs with cancer that I have cared for. I love my animals and I know I would want someone to care for mine like I would and I’d like to provide that for someone! It’s hard to trust someone with your fur babies. I know that from personal experience experience. I treat others animals like my own. I work out of office sales. I’m constantly on the road all of the Knoxville area. My schedule can be very flexible which allows me time for pet care. I can come do stay in visits at your home for your fur babies. I know it can be hard to take them out of their homes and having a new person take care of them. Keeping them happy and healthy is the main priority!
“Stephanie is kind and considerate, she made sure we felt comfortable with her and was willing to go out of her way for a meet and greet! She left our home cleaner than it was when we left, and sent updates during stay! Definitely recommend!”

About: I have taken care of many different animals growing up with my main focus being on dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I currently have a senior cat and have previously taken care of ill/injured dogs. I have also worked at a vet! I’m currently working full time at 3 nights a week but am available all day and any night that aren’t those three. I attempt to travel often if I am not busy :) I have a fenced in yard, two hyper but friendly dogs and two cats who stay to their selves. I always keep a leash in my car rather it’s if I find a baby walking down the road of if I need to walk someone else’s baby!
“MaShon is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and thoughtful you can really tell she cares about your pets! She is also a great communicator before, during and after your reservation. We couldn't be happier with her services and would absolutely hire her again.”
