“Bryan is a great dog sitter! He lets you see the environment your dog will stay in, which will make you feel even more comfortable with knowing your dog is safe. He also had about 18 other dogs there and he had them all very quiet when I got there! Couldn’t even tell he had that many there which let me know that he was in control and the dogs respected him. I definitely will use him again when needed!”
“Kyrie has been doing a great job with my Brandi girl. This is her first time away with someone other than family members and she settled in really well with him. He has been extremely helpful to ease our parental worries too, along with giving tips about her harness and walking so she doesn't pull as much. He is calm and soft spoken which I feel really is comforting to her as well.”
“Cooper had a great stay with Kathy! She was quick to respond to messages, very easy to work with when we had a change in our schedule, and sent pictures during his stay. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time, but he seemed to have such a fun time! 🙂”
“Ladonna did a great job communicating with us while we left our pup with her. She was very responsive, sent us regular updates and adorable pictures, and even sent us home with a sweet picture magnet of our dog, Chanel. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Chanel looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every photo, and that peace of mind was priceless. It felt like she treated our pup like her own. We will absolutely be booking with Ladonna again! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and thoughtful sitter. 5-Stars without hesitation!!”
“Leo is a regular at Rays for a reason! He’s my grand dog and my whole little world too. He feels right at home with Ray and comes home happy and refreshed every time. I get updates regularly and pictures and Leo too. He’s always having fun!”
“I would greatly recommend Seulgi services. She responded quickly and sent pictures of my dog every day. I’m very pleased with her service and in the future I will be using her services again.”
“Absolutely Outstanding!!! Thank you so much!! Our fur baby can be a handful and Shaniece was awesome!!! We have already booked our next visit!! Your fur babies are in excellent hands with Shaniece!!🩷🩷🥰🥰🩷🩷”
“Our two pups loved spending time with Savanna and her family! It was so nice to be able to get away and not have to worry if they were ok, Savannah sent daily updates and pics which made our day!! Also we appreciated her quick response time! 1000/10 would recommend Savanna to anyone!!!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’m experienced with cats (including neonatal kittens), dogs, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, lagomorphs, arthropods and freshwater fish. Whether your dog is high energy or a couch potato, I am happy and able to meet their unique needs! I’m a full time stay at home mom to two dogs, a hamster, a blue tongue skink and even a human child. I am always available to tend to your pets needs. I can accommodate any requests surrounding caring for your pet in your home. If you’d prefer to bring them to me, they will be given around the clock care and attention with frequent updates. If your pet is not dog-friendly, they will be kept in their own separate room away from my dogs. If they are dog friendly, they are welcome to play with the whole family!
“I am a thankful a friend told me about this app and I found Maggie! Her and her family were great with our CC! She kept me updated on how she was doing as well as sending pictures! We will definitely book again! Thank you Maggie!!”
About: I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Families, friends, and neighbors consistently trust me to provide dependable and attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining structured daily routines. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also comfortable caring for reptiles and other small animals. I understand the importance of proper habitat maintenance, feeding schedules, and careful handling to ensure their health and safety. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or reassurance. I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication, and I always provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with respect, attentiveness, and genuine love. I have open availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including boarding, drop-ins, and extended stays. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can adjust to your pet’s established routine to ensure consistency and comfort. My priority is providing dependable care and being accessible when my clients need support. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard as well as a secure outdoor fenced playpen area to allow for safe exercise and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, pets are monitored closely and kept in a clean, structured environment. I am able to crate if requested and will always follow your specific instructions regarding routines, feeding, and supervision. I focus on creating a calm, secure, and stress-free environment so your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times.
“Great sitter!!! Our boys were greatly taken care of and Jasmine did an amazing job of making me feel at ease and comfortable with them staying away with someone new for the first time ever! We will be 100% using these ladies again in the future! I’m super happy with their services:)”
“Valerie was amazing! Hunter stayed in her home and was cared for so well. She sent daily updates/photos, and she was reliable with giving Hunter his antibiotics exactly as instructed. I could tell Hunter was comfortable and getting lots of attention. Great communication, smooth pick-up/drop-off, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Alexander was the Best! Our dog hit it off with him right away! Alexander was great about sending us video clips as well as pictures. We could tell that our dog was well cared for. I would choose Alexander again in a heartbeat! I HIGHLY recommend him. Simply Wonderful!”
“Amazing such a sweetheart!!! She was able to administer my dog his medicine and she sent me pictures and videos to me every day and kept me updated with my pup! BOOK HER NOW!”
“Dana and Brandon were great. Clean and welcoming environment. Kinda felt like dropping our fur-kid off at a friends house for the weekend. They stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pics. We will definitely be calling on them in the future and recommending them to our friends.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Knoxville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 126 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Knoxville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Knoxville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Knoxville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
