I’m so glad that I found Lauren! She was amazing in taking care of my two fur babies. This was my first time using Rover, and I was somewhat nervous in leaving them with a stranger. That nervousness disappeared very quickly when Lauren communicated to me on a daily basis by sending pictures and/or videos as to how they were doing. They were exhausted when I brought them home so I know they had a great time. Knowing that they were being very well taken care of was such a relief. I will definitely be a return customer and highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!

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 just around the corner 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.

On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊

About: Hi there! I’m a proud Graduate Assistant for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team, and when I’m not on the court supporting our athletes, I’m loving on fur-babies of all kinds! I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, teammates, and coaches. And now I’m excited to open my schedule to new four-legged friends here on Rover. Growing up around animals and helping care for everything from playful puppies to older pets needing a little extra TLC, I’ve developed a true passion for making animals feel safe, happy, and loved, whether that means long walks, endless belly rubs, or a cozy cuddle session. Being part of a high-level athletics program has taught me the importance of routine, dependability, and high energy, all of which I bring to pet care, too. I’m organized, calm under pressure, and always ready to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. As a Graduate Assistant for the Lady Vols basketball team, I keep a structured but flexible schedule that makes it easy to include pet care throughout my week. I’m usually up early and active during the day, so I can fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets before practices, between team responsibilities, or in the evenings. Weekends are wide open for me right now — from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening (and even into Monday mornings), I’m completely free and available for overnight stays, extended visits, or anything extra your pet might need. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of the most relaxing and fun parts of my routine, and I love being able to give them my full attention when I’m not in basketball mode! I live in a clean, cozy condo in a pet-friendly area that’s perfect for regular strolls and bathroom breaks. Whether your pup enjoys short potty walks or long, sniff-filled adventures, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. Inside, your pet can expect a calm, safe, and welcoming space where they’ll never feel alone. I love creating a peaceful environment where animals can relax, snuggle up on the couch and feel totally at ease. I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to — feeding schedules, potty breaks, bedtime snuggles — to help them feel right at home. Whether we’re enjoying a walk around the block, playing with toys, or just relaxing together, your pet will be treated like family every step of the way.

Tia watched our dog Polly while we were exploring Knoxville from out of town. She sent photo updates and took her on plenty of walks and even got her a little toy! Our dog has some separation anxiety but we could tell from the photos that Polly made herself right at home with Tia! I would definitely reach out to Tia again if we came back to Knoxville :)

Kaylee is an answer to my prayers for my collie, Lassie. In every way! Lassie stayed with Kaylee for a week, never having been away from me before. Kaylee devoted full attention to Lassie's every need, and took excellent care of her! The multiple pictures she sent every day were such a pleasure to receive and a great comfort to me! I couldn't have found anyone better than Kaylee. Her care of Lassie was perfect. I never have to search again! Thank you, Kaylee!

We were a first timer with Rover and decided to select Becky W as our sitter who agreed to take care of them at our home. Becky did an outstanding job caring for our two sweet Lhasa Apsos! We are forever grateful for the communication, sending photos and providing updates including videos during her time with them. It gave us great relief feeling that they were being well cared for. Thank you Becky for making this experience a great one! It truly reduced the stress and helped us have even a better time knowing our babies were in great hands. We will be sure to reach out again when we need a sitter! Thank you so much and God bless.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Knoxville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 431 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Knoxville. About 95% 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
