About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.

I have experience with administering medication, maintaining exercise routines, and understanding different pet behaviors. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in caring and capable hands! As someone who works from home and has my own dog, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a routine that meets their needs, whether it’s exercise, feeding schedules, or simply offering comfort and attention. Having my own dog has also given me firsthand experience in training, socialization, and understanding different pet personalities. Living in the heart of downtown, surrounded by many parks, I provide a stimulating and engaging environment for pets in my care. Whether in my apartment or a client’s home, I prioritize regular walks, playtime, and companionship to ensure pets feel happy and comfortable.

“Kristen was great with Murphy and helped out picking up a few additional visits when I was in a jam. I would highly recommend her and book her again in the future.”


About: As a proud pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your furry family. I know the little details, like sticking to feeding routines, giving meds when needed, and making sure every walk or cuddle time feels safe and happy. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I already care for my own dog and two cats, so pet care is woven into my daily life. From morning walks to evening cuddle time, I’m used to adjusting my schedule around pets and making sure they get the love and attention they need. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy, with updates sent to you along the way.

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.

I provide regular updates and plenty of photos so you can feel confident your pup is happy and safe. If your dog has special needs, just let me know — I’ll make sure they get the personalized care they deserve. Because here, every dog is family. I work a half remote job, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet sitting and dog walking into my daily routine. Most days, I’m able to arrange my work hours around your pet’s needs whether that means midday walks, morning potty breaks, or evening visits. This flexibility ensures your pet gets consistent, reliable care without long waits between visits. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I believe in creating a calm, happy, and reassuring environment for every dog in my care, whether we’re walking through the neighborhood or simply hanging out together at home. I’m attentive to their body language, pace, and needs, ensuring they always feel safe and understood. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own, with their safety and comfort at the heart of every interaction.

“Collin watched my 2 cats for a week while I was on vacation and couldn’t have done a better job. He’s kind, considerate, and cares immensely about animals! One of my cats has diabetes and requires nightly medication and he was able to give my cat the pill with no issues. Collin not only fed the cats twice a day, but also played with them and even cleaned the litter box. He’s truly a great pet sitter and even better person, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough for any of your pet needs!”

Kristian H.
“Don’t just leave your furry friends with just anyone! Pick Kristian. I personally did Rover for over 3 years and Kristian would still continue to have Kristian watch my two dogs. Kristian would always take the time to understand the needs of my animals, take pictures and provide me with a clear understanding of her responsibilities.”
Knoxville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Either our cats have gotten friendlier over the past year or Cindy is a cat whisperer! Either way, it was a pleasure to see all three cats while we were vacationing. We came home to a clean home and happy cats! I would book with Cindy again, and definitely recommend her to others.

Stellar cat sitter!!! Kieran was super communicative before and during our trip and his pictures clearly showed that he was playing with / spending time with our kitties. Before our trip, he was kind enough to come pick up the keys and do a meet and greet with our cats - we immediately knew our kitties and home would be in good hands. He was also flexible, and allowed us to extend our trip last minute. We returned to a perfectly tidy home and happy kitties. We've used many cat sitters before and this was one of our best experiences!!

Alexander had been a wonderful help! He took care of my two boys (max and Charlie) so well. My boys absolutely loved Alex! He took care of them for several weeks (twice a day). He was always so prompt, great at communication and extremely great with our boys! Thank you aoooo much for all your help!!

Abbie was incredible in caring for my kitties, she went above and beyond!!!!! During my trip away, she checked on my kitties and gave my one cat her inhaler every day. I not once was ever worried about my cats while I was away, which I could never say before! I was updated on every thing with much detail and that is something a cat owner like me loves when I can’t be with my babies myself 🥰 I would give Abbie 100 starts if I could!
