About: I provide personalized care for every pet experienced with puppy training routines and gentle senior care, including medications and extra attention. As well as my overall love for animals. Between my two dogs, part-time gym work, and online training clients, I live an active, structured lifestyle that fits perfectly with flexible and reliable pet care. I’m based in Pittsburgh with access to great dog parks and walking trails, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air, playtime, and attention while they’re with me
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I have a 1-year-old cat of my own, help care for my boyfriend’s two pitbulls, and my family has two shih tzus, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also regularly pet sit for neighborhood furry friends, and even while attending boarding school in Boston, I cared for local pets there as well. I am committed to your furry family members’ happiness, comfort, and well-being. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention. My genuine love for animals and strong attention to detail show in everything I do—from keeping routines consistent to sending regular updates and photos—so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a recent graduate currently working part-time (4-6 hour shifts) while studying for my personal training certification, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of free time. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I can consistently handle feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning tasks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take care of feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, and playtime based on the owner’s instructions. I also keep the home clean and provide updates so clients know their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Ella is AMAZING. my dog is extremely anxious and skittish around new people and Ella made a HUGE effort to come over and spend time with Mellie to get her comfortable. She made an extra effort and it meant so much to me. If you have an anxious pet you know how important it is for people to be patient with them and Ella definitely was. 10/10 would recommend 🩷”
“Madison was so sweet and caring with my fur baby. He really enjoyed their walks together and it made him feel better to have that gentle care while I was away. I will be booking more walking sessions with Madison again in the near future. Thanks again!!”
About: I have taken care of animals in my hometown area since I was 10 and am very happy when interacting with pets. I started by walking dogs and eventually started taking care of pets overnight. I am taking college classes, so I have free time when I am not in class. Every day I have a break big enough between classes that would allow me to care for a pet. I am happy to learn how to care for a pet in its own home and to hear about the pet's preferences and needs in their home.
“Ashley is absolutely incredible! She brings her own poop bags and treats and is very attentive to Finn’s needs. She sends me picture and video updates which soothes my separation anxiety! I am going to continue to use her services, as Finn already is attached to her.”
“Kristin is so great! She sends us lots of updates when she takes Jets on walks, she has been so helpful with us getting Jet adjusted to his new house. We will continue to use Kristin for walks! :)”
“Meghan is exceptional! She is great with my bulldog Maisie and treats her as if she was her own. Meghan is also so knowledgeable, patient and professional. I know when she walks Maisie, Maisie is in the best hands!”
“Lindsey was wonderful! I appreciate her taking the time to walk with Ella. Ella was comfortable and happy. This is great practice for her to learn to walk with other people.”
About: Hi, I’m Kyna! I’m the proud human of Maple, my Bernese Mountain Dog, which means I’m very familiar with dog hair, muddy paws, dramatic sighs, and dogs who occasionally refuse to walk because a leaf looked suspicious. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By day, I work in education and behavior support, so patience, consistency, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after the pets of family and friends, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff walks, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping routines consistent. You’ll receive updates and photos because I know I’d want them too. I have experience with large dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re lap dogs. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!🐶 I’m currently enjoying summer break from work, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sniffaris, and pet care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and consistent. Whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, taking a leisurely sniffari, playing their favorite game, or simply existing in the same room while your cat judges me from a safe distance, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages because I know I’d want the same if I were leaving my own pet in someone else’s care. Fair warning: I may become emotionally invested in your pet 🐶🐱🐾.
Knoxville dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’m incredibly pleased with Matthew’s help with our dogs as a regular customer (three times per week). He’s always on time and he’s very attentive as he follows our instructions exactly as we’ve asked. He does great with our very anxious and sometimes reactive dog. I cannot recommend him enough.
Michaela is very professional and great at communicating. She was in touch promptly and very accommodating. She took such good care of Crispy. She’s willing to do extra long walks which my puppy needs. She’s a natural with dogs as well and very gentle and affectionate. Crispy and I can’t wait to book her again!
I booked Jessicah to walk Ivory my 5 year old high energy husky mix while I recovered from knee surgery. Her reviews were excellent but the deciding factor was her location, near to my home. She has been walking Ivory now for 2 months and she has won both Ivory’s and my heart. I trust her completely with Ivory. Not only is she a caring animal person she also has an upbeat happy attitude. I know she walks several dogs a day but she greets Ivory as if she is the only dog she walks. Ivory loves their time together and watches at the window for her. If you are looking for a person to take care of your much loved pet when you can’t I would highly recommend Nicole & Jessicah.
