“Once again, Thank you for taking good care of my boys, Axl and Eliot! I know that they are always in good hands and I don’t worry about them. Merry Christmas and Have a Hapoy New Year!”
About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.
About: I have over 5 years of experience house sitting and pet sitting . I have experience from puppies to seniors! I’m comfortable in giving meds I own my own business and work a part time job but they both allow so I’m able to make my own schedule . Day I care for pets in Clients home with all the respect of there home and follow all the guidelines the client sets for their pet
“Our cats love when Joanne comes over. She does a great job in feeding and cleaning up their chaotic litter habits. I also really enjoy the pictures and recap she sends of the visit.”
“Ximena is wonderful! She gave us plenty of support and advice as we transitioned to becoming dog owners in December 2025! Our dog Daisy loved Ximena from the very first time she met her! Ximena is very intuitive with a dog or pet’s needs. She always used positive reinforcement to guide Daisy in commands. She is always patient, gentle and kind with animals. She even gave Daisy a gift when she had moved farther away. Honestly we were so devastated that Ximena would not be able to walk Daisy anymore. We have had other dog walkers but no one as consistent and sweet as Ximena. She always sends lots of photos and detailed messages about the walks. We wish she could still be walking Daisy! We highly recommend Ximena if you need care for your pet!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lily as our dog sitter! She was punctual, attentive, and took excellent care of our dog. She was also very respectful of our home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care and will definitely be booking with Lily again. Highly recommend!”
“Laura is excellent! She came by for two meet and greets, for the visit was always on time, and the dogs were well taken care of. She's great at filling out the care card and keeping us informed of the visits. Highly recommend, I will use again!”
About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
“Laura was a wonderful sitter and gave her a above 5 stars! Neuro really liked her. He got ready for his dinner when she arrived at the door. She explained about how Neuro was doing. I highly recommend to use her service.”
About: I manage a busy, diverse household of my own, which means I am highly experienced, unfazed by complex routines, and comfortable handling a wide variety of personalities. My personal pack includes: Two Large Dogs & A Cat: I am fully accustomed to the distinct needs, energy levels, and feeding structures of both large dogs and cats. A Flock of 43 Chickens: Managing a large flock has given me a deep understanding of animal husbandry, strict feeding schedules, flock safety, and overall bird wellness. Hermit Crabs: I even have experience with the precise humidity, environmental, and dietary care required for exotic pocket pets! Because I handle such a diverse group of animals daily, I am incredibly observant, highly organized, and detail-oriented. I will precisely follow your feeding instructions, medication schedules, and specific care routines down to the letter. My days are structured but highly adaptive, meaning I can easily step away to accommodate last-minute, short-notice, or same-day drop-in requests for local pet parents. All pet care will be in your own home, allowing you more freedom in your day! Trustworthy, reliable, punctual, mature. I will treat your home and pets just like my own!
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. She was very prompt and efficient with communication. Dogs seemed immediately comfortable with her and she clearly has lots of experience. We look forward to using her again and would highly recommend.”
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”
“Celina was excellent! There was a miscommunication on my part, but Celina handled it with so much understanding and she did a wonderful job with our very hyper Aussie. She sent us photos and updates at every check-in. I would highly recommend her for drop in visits.”
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
“Sarah took great care of our 2 cats while we were away! She sent adorable pictures and a little summary each day, which was a great surprise! 100% would book with her again :)”
“When we arrived after our five day trip, we encountered our two furbabies freshly woken from a nap, without a care in the world, as if they also had taken a vacation! Wordda made sure our boys were looked after and satisfied. Thank you for everything! <3”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,613 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Knoxville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Knoxville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
