Top rated Knoxville house sitters

“Heidi was great. We had a few changes to our travel plans and she just went right with the flow. We were impressed when we met her with her thorough questions and enjoyed the updates she sent. When we got home our dogs were happy and didn’t seem stressed at all and Heidi left us a note with details of medication that had been given, etc.”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”


“Lauren was friendly and even came a little early! I left for work knowing Diego was a happy pup in good hands. He greeted her with lots of kisses and even took the initiative to find out where cleaning supplies were after I mentioned Diego happy pees and cleaned up after him without needing to be asked. We will definitely be repeat customers! Thanks Lauren :)”


“Christine always takes wonderful care of our home & dogs. She also keeps in touch and let’s us know how things are going while we’re gone. In addition she has been really flexible and understanding when our plans have changed here and there. We really appreciate her!”


“Lydia has been such a joy to work with. She truly loves animals and cares about your pet. She was eager to learn our boy Oscar’s personality and made sure he felt special. She frequently updated us and sent lots of great pics. She was also very respectful of our home. Lydia is kind enthusiastic and very professional. Your fur baby will be in good hands.”


“Miranda is very professional, responsible, and communicative! She visited us before the job to meet us and our pups, and we could tell right away that she was warm and friendly and asked all the right questions to prepare for the job. We needed someone to spend a lot of time at our home since our youngest dog could not yet be trusted alone for a long time, and she was completely up for that. We got regular updates and pictures throughout her stay without any prompting and we returned to a clean home and two relaxed and happy pups. I highly recommend Miranda! She is the best dog/home sitter we've ever had.”


“Laurie was great with my dogs and cat for the weekend. She sent many pictures that I loved seeing while away from my fur babies. On time and very respectful of my house. I came home to no messes and happy pets”


“Jessica helped care for my pack over an extended weekend & took amazing care of the whole crew and the house too! I can't say enough wonderful things, I felt easy being away and knew the animals were getting the best care! Thank you again Jessica for everything!!”


About: I've taken care of friends, family and neighbors animals since I was about 12. Feeding, water, play. I'm more familiar with dogs and cats but I can also take care of other pets you might have including fish, hamsters and even chickens! Whether you have 1 pet or 3, need overnight care or just a walk, your pets are in great hands! I'm currently home from college for the summer, so I have flexible hours and many free days. I can spend lots of time with your pets! I will follow the rules you have set for your household. I can crate dogs and keep them off furniture. And for those silly routines they have, I'm more than happy to give them a treat when they come back inside, say a release word for meals or stop to sniff every single tree on their walk.

“Our dogs had a great stay with Stacey! She took wonderful care of our two dogs, including one who has epilepsy and requires medication twice a day. She was responsive to our messages and provided picture updates, and spent tons of time with them to ensure they were happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Stacey!”


“Tara was very quick to respond and help us work out every detail for our first trip away from our 11 month old puppy, Bella. Tara’s daughter Emily had taken care of her on several occasions before, but we were still worried about our first longer trip away as she is very attached to us. Emily was extremely thoughtful about that, sending pictures and updates several times a day to put our minds at ease. She stayed in our home with Bella and not only took great care of her, following every detail of the lengthy list of care instructions I had provided, but also took great care of our home. Bella was in great spirits when we returned and our home was so neat and clean you would never have known anyone had been there while we were gone. I am so grateful for the very thoughtful care and professionalism from Tara and Emily and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for trustworthy, reliable, genuine care for their furry family members!”


About: Hi! I’m Andrea, proud pet parent to two pups—Joey, my sweet mixed mutt, and Lacy, my loyal (and a little sassy!) Boxer. They’re my world, and I care for every animal like they’re my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medications—whether it’s pills, drops, or injections. I’m also a cat lover and would be happy to care for your feline friends too! Whether you need someone for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule for walks, feedings, and lots of belly rubs. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays in your home. I don’t currently offer pet stays at my place—Lacy’s a little too sassy with other dogs and likes to keep her kingdom to herself. I’ve got experience with senior pets, giving medications, and caring for cats too! Whether your pet is full of zoomies or prefers a cozy nap buddy, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to get to know their personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly—and tailor my care to fit their needs. I stick closely to their routine, whether that means scheduled walks, playtime, feedings, or quiet companionship. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with senior pets or those who need medications. Your pet will get plenty of love, snuggles, and attention while you’re away—just like they would at home.

I’ve cared for all them of them since there baby days. I’ve grown to learn that every single animal has their own personality. I love animals and I hope you can trust me to take care of your furbabies just the way you would want. I can fit taking care of your furbabies into my schedule because it’s something I’d like to do. To take a dog on a 20 min walk can make my day knowing they went potty and are safe and sound at home and of course happy. Seeing their cute tail ways always brings a smile to my face. I’ll make sure to set my schedule to your needs. I walk my dog three times a day so walking is already a huge part of my life lol. I would respect your home of course. I’ll care for ur furbaby the way you’d want me too, either to give them three treats or none I’ll listen to any directions as long as there happy.
