Kristy is simply the best. My boys get SO EXCITED when we make the turn to her house. I love that I don’t worry about my Doodles one bit when I’m gone and they are with her. She cares for them as if they were her own. She is also cautious of the older one and attentive to his needs. Thanks Kristy!

We contacted Melissa when we were looking for short notice care for our 3 dogs ranging from 4 months old to 12 years old. She was available to provide care for our dogs in her home. They had a blast while in her care! They appreciated her fenced in back yard and loved spending time outside. She gave us updates and send some photos during the day. We could not have picked a better person to care for our dogs! We highly recommend and would reach out to book again with her!

Angela was the best sitter I have ever used in Rover. She was very caring but prefessional. She slowly introduced my dog to her dog, Goldie by separating her at fist meet, because Angela considered that my dog is scared of some big dogs. She is very considering and ma

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. My dog Soka is 6 months old and she knows just about every trick imaginable. I’ll train your dogs, and i love to play fetch with them and run around. I also know how to take care of puppies and old dogs. I have all the time off in the world. There will be occasional days where I cannot work for my job and some school events, but other than that I am free until the end of February. That might change to May. I have an apartment that is about 1,200 sf. It is always spotless (So nothing that can cause damage to any animal if they were to come in). My complex is on the greenway next to the river which is great for walks and desensitizing dogs to humans birds and other dogs. I’m near downtown as well.

This was the first time Ginger had been boarded and I was worried about how she would do. Hannah sent pictures and updates during her stay which put my mind at easy. Hannah gave Ginger time to herself when she needed it and she had supervised time outside with Hannah’s dogs and the other dogs she was keeping. Ginger was well taken care of and had a good time. I will definitely use Hannah again.

Emily took care of our Khloe for ten days while we were on vacation. She was very prompt in responding any time we contacted her. She sent pictures to us every day. She has a fenced yard and a nice house. Khloe seemed to enjoy her stay but of course was happy to see us when we picked her up to go home. We highly recommend her to take care of your dog.

About: I have 5 years of dog training experience and took classes to recognize behavior and use a multitude of training tools. I also am comfortable working with senior or special needs animals, and have lots of experience administering anything from medication in pill form to subcutaneous fluids. I am currently unemployed, so your animal companion will have complete round the clock care, playtime and supervision. Most of my time consists of doing something with animals Potty breaks generally take place after meals or snack time, or upon request since my dogs often ask for outside time. Walks are usually 15 to 30 minutes, sometimes longer if everyone is having fun. Hazards are kept far out of the way or the area is supervised. I also have pet cams to monitor the wellbeing of the animals in my home.

About: I have owned a wide variety of animals throughout my entire life. While these have mainly been cats and dogs of many breeds, I also have extensive experience with salt and freshwater aquariums. I I am also comfortable with reptiles and taking care of your pets medication needs. My schedule is pretty open except for the necessary duties of having a school-age child in sports ha ha :-) Overall I am pretty flexible, and kindly request that if there is a change in plans that I am notified immediately. Thank you! I live in an apartment in the animal friendly, downtown Knoxville area with my 10-year-old son, and two male neutered kitties. My son has grown up with dogs and cats, knows to be respectful of animals needs and space.

Carly did a fantastic job with both my high-maintenance bulldog and me as a high anxiety owner. This was the first time that I’ve boarded her in the two years she’s been with us so I was cautious. Carly did great with all of Rain’s needs and keeping me up to date on how things were going. Definitely someone I’d look to again!
