5. Olivia G.
“Olivia was great with our 2 year old lab. He was in her care for 10 nights while we were on vacation and she did a fabulous job with him. She was sending daily updates and pictures proving that he was having a great time playing with their pup. He got an embedded tick and Olivia notified us immediately and took care of it. She even gave him a bath right before coming home. Highly recommend Olivia, we will definitely use her services again in the future!”

8. Pamela S.
“Pamela did a great job with our two dogs on very short notice, and our first time using Rover. She was incredibly prompt responding to all our messages starting with the initial request, then scheduled the meet and greet the next day, and throughout the 9 days she cared for them. She had us fill out a detailed questionnaire to learn about our dogs before the visit, which I appreciated. One of our dogs ran out of meds, and she volunteered to pick up a refill at our vet, some distance away. Photo updates every day, and it's clear the dogs were relaxed and having fun with her other 'guests.' Highly recommend.”
9. Brittany B.
“Lizzy had a great time and was well cared for. Brittany has a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run and play.”
10. Angela B.
“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”

14. Hannah H.
“Hannah took care of Mica very well and Mica had a wonderful time with her family and her dog Cooper. She’s also very accommodating and nice! Highly recommended!”
15. Devin H.
“We had just moved to Tennessee from Kansas in the beginning of December, and needed to find a sitter for our two dogs within a week. Devin responded quickly, and we set up a meeting with our dogs. They were instantly comfortable with Devin’s family and other dog - which is a tough feat with our pit-mix, as she is very attached to my fiancé. They had our dogs during two different trips this month, totaling over 10 days and we couldn’t have been happier with our pick! Devin sent us updates and pictures throughout the time we were gone, and it was nothing but positivity. Our dogs always come home as happy as when they left, and we couldn’t be more thankful that they were loved and cared for! Devin will definitely be our go-to for any future stays!”
16. Sydney P.
“My dog absolutely LOVED her stay with Sydney when I was traveling! Sydney is very communicative and super professional. She made sure to send updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was very easy to get ahold of for drop-off and pick-up. Sydney is now my go-to pet sitter here in Knoxville, and I’d recommend her services to all of my friends who are dog owners!”
17. Kirk & Nicole E.
“Kirk and Nicole were absolutely wonderful with our pup Kobe. They communicated so well with pics along the way. Kobe loved staying and we will rebook again soon!”
18. Isabel S.
“My pet family (two pups and two cats) always enjoy their visits with Isabel. She is very professional and conscientious, and she obviously is an animal lover. Isabel gets my highest recommendation - a 5-star sitter for our pet family!”
19. Candise J.
