“Awesome sitter! They took great care of my two dogs for five days and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily messages and updates on how they were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy and well taken care of, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from them. No complaints at all, and I would absolutely book with them again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Jonathan is great he spoils my dog, takes Bruno to the dog part plays with him. My dog has ear problems, and Jonathan, makes sure that he keeps his ears cleaned and updates me if there’s any problems. This is the second time I used Jonathan and when me and Bruno up this time, Bruno was so excited to see Jonathan. That how I know Jonathan is taken care of Bruno as if he was his own dog and I just love that for Bruno. I would definitely recommend Jonathan.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities since childhood. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, and reinforcing training. I’m especially patient with anxious, senior, and rescue dogs and always prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time and structure my days around animal care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits during the week, with extra flexibility on weekends. I enjoy giving pets consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive to behavioral cues, leash safety, and home rules. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize secure spaces, supervision, and clear communication with pet parents so pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I have a large fenced backyard.

“Randi was excellent! I recently moved to Georgia and was very hesitant about leaving my 15 year old cat but she put me at ease and took the best care of him. I received daily pictures along with detailed updates. My cat looked fine and even snored when he slept so I knew he was doing well. Randi would definitely be a great sitter for your fur baby! 10/10!!!”

About: Hi, my name is Jada. I grew up with a childhood dog of 14 years before he passed the summer of 2025. I also own a dog named Kade and he is my whole world and is always looking for a new playmate. I would love to help make your life easier by taking care of your fur baby :) I’m a substitute teacher but I’m half the week so I can do school work for my college courses. My schedule is very flexible as I can pick up shifts as I please. I have one friendly pup who loves to play! My apartment has a lot of open space so your pup can move around. My apartment also has two fenced in dog parks so your dog can enjoy themself and get a little exercise.

About: Most of my experience comes from caring for my senior beagle, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He still has plenty of energy, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and keeping a steady routine. I study from home most days, so I’m around a lot and can give dogs regular breaks, attention, and a calm place to hang out. I’m a medical student who studies from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I already take my own dog out for daily walks and breaks, so adding another dog to that schedule works well. I can easily fit in regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and checkins throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly with plenty of open areas to walk. Inside, I keep a clean, supervised, and cozy home. I treat every dog gently and carefully, just like I treat my own.

About: I have cared for senior dogs multiple times, including administering medication according to their individual needs, sometimes once or twice a day. I’m experienced with dogs of various personalities, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to suit each animal\. I’m also comfortable caring for different types of dogs, cats, and other animals in general. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. I absolutely love animals and would treat your pet the same as I would treat my own! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I have a consistent college class schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have classes at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. On Tuesdays, I have classes from 12:00 to 4:45 p.m. On Thursdays, I have classes from 2:00 to 4:45 p.m., and on Fridays, I have class from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Outside of class, I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m dependable and willing to plan around my classes to meet each pet’s needs and maintain their normal routine. I provide attentive, reliable care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. A typical day includes feeding meals on schedule, refreshing water, giving medications if needed, taking pets outside for potty breaks and walks, and giving them plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean and comfortable and make sure they receive lots of companionship throughout the day.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Knoxville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Knoxville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

98% of sitters in Knoxville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Knoxville home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Knoxville.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Knoxville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
