“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!”

“We just moved to GA and are in temp housing, so we were all stir crazy and needed a change. We found Kathy and even though it’s nerve wracking to leave our boys with someone new we dropped them off. Kathy sent lots of pics and msgd how they were doing-which definitely put our minds at ease as they looked happy and active (bonus for us she had 2 boxer pups visiting to keep them busy!). We found ourselves the next weekend still in temp housing, so we were off again-took the boys-they ran up to the house excited, tails wagging so we knew they liked it there!! Our boys came home 2 week ends in a row tired-which for anyone with a boxer and golden knows is a bonus!!! Thanks Kathy-see you next time we’re heading to Atlanta!!”

“Valerie was absolutely amazing with Ruby! 🐾 I was very hesitant about having a dog sitter watch my dog at first, but she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free. She kept me updated the entire time with how Ruby was doing, which meant so much to me and really put my mind at ease. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. Ruby had a wonderful stay, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she received. We have loved having Ruby stay with Valerie and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter! 💕🐶”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I worked at an animal shelter for a couple of years when I was in high school as well. I currently have two small dogs that I adore. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! Pet care seamlessly blends into my routine! While I work full-time Monday through Friday, my home is fully equipped to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and entertained. I have indoor cameras so I can check in on pets throughout the day, as well as a small doggie door leading to a secure yard, so pups can pop outside whenever they like. On weekends, I’m usually home full-time and love dedicating that quality time to play, relaxing, and giving extra attention to my furry guests! Whether at my house or yours, your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure every pet stays properly nourished with fresh food and clean water, and I am fully comfortable administering oral or topical medications as needed.

“While I was on a trip, she looked after my baby. I was terrified to leave him with someone. I felt bad that he believed I had abandoned him. When I was able to speak with her, she kept me informed, which is helpful because it gives me a basic notion of whether he's affected, leaving him with someone else so we can plan how to handle it going forward. Also it helped me cope leaving him. He was happy when I picked him up.”

About: As a dog mom to two pups, ages 9 and 3, caring for dogs is something that is already part of my everyday routine! I watch my parents' dog daily and occasionally I care for my sister's dog overnight, so I'm very comfortable having extra furry family members around. As a stay-at-home mom who homeschools, I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention, and plenty of love. Our home sits on nearly an acre with a fenced in backyard in our neighborhood, giving pups plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. I'll make sure to follow their usual routines, send photo updates, and do my best to make sure this is their home away from home while you're away! Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I also homeschool my oldest and my youngest attends half day pre-k. This gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks/walking, playtime, attention, and relaxation. I enjoy keeping a comfortable, predictable routine while also adjusting to each dog's individual needs. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they are used to. I want every dog who stay with us to feel like part of the family, and to feel at home. I know every pup has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I will do my best to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure to follow each owner's instructions for feeding, sleeping, and daily care. Our home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood where we can enjoy leisurely walks in addition to time playing and exploring in our fenced backyard. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand if that gives you extra peace of mind, but I also understand that last-minute plan happens! I enjoy sharing photos and updates throughout your pup's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

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.

About: Hello, My name is Alesia. I am very nice, friendly and outgoing person, and I love meeting new dogs and their parents. I have a precious little White Maltipoo Dog named Casper, and a little female Yorkshire Terrier named Chloe. Sometimes my Grand Dog, Cash, comes over to visit and play. He is a Labradoodle. I (and my husband -Ray) have raised a number of dogs throughout the years from, Toy Poodles, Miniature Pinchers, to Chows. We are partial to the smaller, lap dogs who love to be petted and cuddled so they will feel safe while their owners are away. My little fur guest can choose to go outside a few times a day or just stay inside if they like. I am flexible to the needs of my little fur guests. I will feed the pets according to their accustomed schedule and take them outside when needed. I have a very nice, secured fenced back yard for running and playing ball. And, by all means bring their favorite crate, bed, blanket or toys so they will feel right at home. Bring their favorite food and any treats that they are accustomed to eating. And of course, fresh water is always available. Please bring their collar and leash for their walk time. Some people even bring Mom or Dads piece of clothing (like at shirt) to sleep with so they will feel close to them, while they are away. I appreciate your business and I am here to serve your pet so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I am retired and stay at Home unless I need to run a short errand etc. My home is quiet and peaceful. I have a glass front door if your furbaby wants to lay or sit and look out the door. I have two small senior Furbabies. They cuddle on the sofa with us. Your Furbaby is welcome to cuddle with us if they want to. We always have bowls of fresh water available at all times. We have a nice clean fenced backyard for your Furbabies to walk around in or take care of their business.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including raising them from babies. All sizes of dogs from little Yorkies to large Great Pyrenees. My house is full of children who love animals! I’ve always had pets in my life and caring for them fits easily into my daily routine. As a full-time working mom, I’m up early every day and naturally build pet care into my schedule with morning walks, feeding times, and plenty of affection and play. I truly enjoy keeping animals on a consistent, loving routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, just like family. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home is clean and pet-friendly, with a fenced yard for play and fresh air. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and follow owner instructions carefully.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior pets, and happy to follow individual routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special care instructions. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Pets get plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine and give each pet the individual care and attention they need while their owners are away. Pets staying in my home become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special needs. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, happy, and at home while their family is away.

We also had a meet-and-greet prior to their stay, which was helpful to ensure it would be a good fit. She has a wonderful fenced yard for the dogs to run in that she keeps well maintained. Arnelia provides training and grooming during their stay and was able to quickly pick up on their training needs. The dogs seemed very happy while they were there. I look forward to working with Arnelia again!”

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.
