“This is the third time we boarded our lovely Coco at Lauryn’s place. I am writing this review because Lauryn did a great job caring for Coco, a picky eater and attention seeker. We tried multiple places to board Coco in the last 6 years, but every time, Coco gets sick because they cannot feed Coco. We will use Lauryn’s service every time we need to board Coco.”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds through my work at a busy doggy daycare. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I understand dog behavior and safety, and I make sure every pet I care for feels happy, comfortable, and secure. From playtime and exercise to cuddles and companionship, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I’m an animal science major at UTK and a doggy daycare worker. I always have time for pups! I will make sure my availability is always up to date for you! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure apartment with a cozy space for indoor play and rest, and while my yard isn’t fenced, there’s a safe, dog-friendly park on property for walks and exercise. I provide a supervised, clean, and loving environment at all times, ensuring your dog feels happy, secure, and part of the family while in my care.
“We are so glad we found Nicole and Dexter! We were out of the country for three weeks and a bit anxious to leave our dog behind but we had a very good feeling during the meet and greet and the boarding experience with them was perfect! We got daily updates and pictures, they took great care of her during those three weeks and Yuki seemed really comfortable at their lovely and welcoming home. We definitely will be booking with them again!”

I recommend Viviana & Brian R. for your pet without reservation.”

Joseph was wonderful! Very welcoming and friendly. After the meet and greet, I knew Sioux would be in good hands. Joseph made sure to send pictures and videos everyday and Sioux was tuckered out when I picked her up. I'm glad that I found a great local sitter and will be reaching out to Joseph for future vacations!
Here’s a warmer and more polished version: Sallie was the best sitter we’ve ever had on Rover! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and thoughtful messages about how Yumi was doing, how she was eating, and even shared her favorite spots around her place. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Yumi was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Sallie to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our baby!
Jenny was amazing with Synna. She made the whole experience completely stress-free by sending regular updates and pictures, and I could tell Synna was having a great time. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your dog. I will absolutely book with Jenny again. Thank you for loving on my sweet girl while I was away! 🐾🤎
Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.
Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.
Kasra is the best Rover I have ever had. By far! He was kind, communicative, and went above and beyond for our dog throughout the stay. Our dog fell ill during the stay, and he handled the situation with positivity and willingness to help our dog feel better. He will definitely be our go-to Rover from now on. Thank you Kasra!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Knoxville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 421 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Knoxville. About 94% of Knoxville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
