About: I am a reliable and responsible retired adult who loves dogs. I will care for yours as if they were my own whether it’s in our home or if you need drop in visits or walking. I prefer small dogs under 30 pounds. I am retired and will be there for your pet(s) whether it is to drop by your home, board in our home or just walk your dog(s). I love small dogs as they are our favorite. I prefer to book small dogs under 30 pounds. I have 2 Cavalier King Charles spaniels and a large home with a fenced backyard in a family neighborhood. I will walk your dogs and provide them with necessary potty breaks. My 2 dogs are friendly and get along with other dogs.

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. After losing my 15 year old beagle, I became a foster parent with various animal shelters. I have successfully rescued 15 dogs and placed them with their forever families. My last foster boy, I ended up falling in love and adopting him as my own. His name is Roland.. I have a fenced in backyard and a private room with a doggie door to allow access to the yard. I would prefer one dog at a time (plus mine) But can make exceptions after their first stay. I currently work full time in an office 5 mins away. So I can check on my fur babies during lunch hour. Please see my calendar for Availability. I always keep my dog, Roland, separated from my new Rover pets until they get acclimated to being somewhere new. I also have the ability to keep my dog separated if my Rover needs privacy. Safety first.

“Talk about “above and beyond” - Khasia was amazing to work with - and on very short notice! Goldie was very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to use Khasia again. She was polite, professional, and very kind.”


“We booked last minute & she still took our little Bentley! Was extremely understanding because we were running late. Sent pictures and videos all day letting us know how he was doing. She is amazing & the sweetest! We will definitely be bringing Bentley back to play with the other dogs❤️❤️ He had a great time.”


About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.

About: I have lived with dogs from a young age. I have trained dogs and loved dogs all my life. I frequently watch my friends dogs and I am always available for walk. Dogs seem to love me and the feeling is mutual. I am responsible and I have my own means of transportation. You can trust that your loved one will be taken well care of in my home. I know how important these best friends are I currently work from my apartment with no set schedule. I am very active and I walk my dog Luna about 4 miles a day, broken up into smaller walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I live adjacent to a fenced dog park. I can provide a crate,leashes and dog toys if needed.

About: Hello! I am new to this app, but I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 (3 years) in all forms: dropping in (x) times a day into owner’s home, bringing dog to my home (with my mom and dad that love dogs too!), staying in owner’s home, and dog walking. I am new to this app! I go to college at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have a flexible schedule and want to spend my free-time doing what I love- being with dogs! I live in a pet-friendly apartment right off the interstate- so I am an easy commute away from all directions in the Knoxville vicinity. I have a cavalier back at my home (Nashville), Scout, who is extremely gentle, quiet, and can’t get enough of being around other dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/animals since my early teen years. I started with my elderly American Bulldog, Deacon, when I was 14. After that, I began dog sitting/boarding for all of my neighbors and family. I am a full time college student (with classes only Tuesday and Thursday mornings with the rest online, so I’m always home). My household has ample space for any size breed and a fenced in yard. I always have dogs in my care, with excellent owner reviews. I have a fenced in yard so there’s no worries about slipping a leash, or how much your dog pulls. Since we have multiple dogs staying at any time, everyone is on a scheduled rotation to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I always send picture/video updates to the owners (if that’s okay!). I always do late night and early morning let outs to ensure everyone’s comfort through the night.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, geckos, I love them all! I have a blue heeler so I’m great even with the stubborn ones. During the summer I’m free to anyone that will let me watch their sweet babies. I’m also available on holidays! I am here to help! I am the one all the animals follow in my house. I have one male blue heeler who is the love of my life. We live close to Victor Ashe and frequently walk there. When boarding, I can take them to the park for walks or even the dog park!

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets, having looked after many for neighbors and family friends. This has given me the opportunity to build trust while providing loving, attentive care to animals of all kinds. I pride myself on treating every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my hands. I work part-time and from home, which allows me the flexibility and availability to provide your pet with the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for throughout the day. Caring for pets, whether it is in my home or your home, involves meeting their basic needs like feeding, long walks, making sure they have fresh water and relaxed.

“Kelcie was great and so kind to help me out last minute. She had no problem watching my Australian Shepherd for the day and evening. I will definitely use her again when I'm in the area. Thank you!”
