“Here’s a great review you can use for your dog sitter: Review: [Dog sitter’s name] was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, very communicative, and gave my dog lots of love and attention. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Skylar did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and our house while we were gone for almost two weeks! She came for a meet and greet a few weeks before the trip so that our dogs would recognize her. She also sent a few updates with photos while we were gone and I could tell that the dogs were super relaxed. She left our house in great shape and our dogs appear to be happy/healthy. Unfortunately we’re about to move, but if we were staying in Knoxville we would 100% hire her again.”
“We’re so glad we found Meredith to help us take care of our 4-month-old puppy and senior cat. They’re both a handful but Meredith is so loving and professional with them. My fur babies can’t wait to see her again!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing. She exceeded our expectations. We are typically very skeptical of meeting new people on Rover. Our dog is just as picky. He took to her right away and couldn't leave her alone. She communicated with us every step of the way. She sent pictures and updated us as she came and went. She left our home in the same condition it was in when she left. We will most definitely be using her in the future! Thank you again so much Angela!”
“Melissa was the PERFECT sitter for my baby! She was so thorough on her meet and greet that I was instantly put at ease about using rover for the first time. She sent me so many pictures and updates even though it was only one night because I told her there is no such thing as too many updates 😅 She is so quick with communication and I already have her booked for a second time for a last minute work trip! You will be so pleased if you trust Melissa with your fur babies!”
“Taylor did an amazing job with my big babies. He was very responsible and kept me informed daily. I felt like he loved my pups so well, they barely missed me. lol I will definitely use him again.”
“Nancy made it possible for our cats to enjoy their days just like usual during our two-week trip. Thanks to her, we were able to worry less about them while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and kindness. If we ever need someone to look after our cats again, we would definitely ask her. Thank you, Nancy!”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our girls, and the house looked great when coming home! She made the time away from them a little less stressful as we knew they were being well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Katie did a great job looking after my kittens and dog. I came home to my house being exactly as I left it, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I would recommend her and will book her again to house sit.”
“Jayne was excellent! She was professional, was patient with my skittish pup, took great care of my senior dog recovering from TPLO surgery, and was considerate of our house and my requests. I hope she’ll be able to come stay with Warren and Kristen again! Thanks, Jayne!”
About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.
“Jasmin took such great care of our home and Millie! She gave us updates and photos throughout the trip and our home was in great shape upon our return! Millie loves playing with and going on walks with Jasmin!!”
“Knowing that our dogs were able to stay in their home and Kelli being with them gave us comfort while being out of town. She took great care of them and even sent pictures while we were away! If you’re looking for someone to help you with your fur baby, Kelli’s your girl!”
About: I have had animals in my home my entire life! I absolutely love animals and my dream is to own an animal rescue. I have 2 cats of my own and they are spoiled beyond measure. I’m very well experienced with large dogs and cats. I do work a full time job Monday - Friday 8:00-5:00. I am available during my lunch break between 12:00-1:00 daily and every evening. My weekends tend to be pretty busy but during times when I’m free, I can make myself available as needed. Unfortunately, my dog does not do well with other dogs so overnight boarding in my home isn’t an option. However, I’m happy to house sit in your home if needed. I am very attentive to animals and a clean freak so you will never have to worry about coming home to a mess.
“Ruth Ann was amazing and so easy to work with! Remi certainly enjoyed their time together. I will certainly use her again!”
“Super pleased with how well Chelcie took care of my 14-year old dog. My dog requires different meds at different times of the day. Chelcie kept track of everything with no worries. She provided daily reports to me on how well all was going - much appreciated. Sweet. Thoughtful. And very Trustworthy. I'll be using Chelcie again for sure!”
“She did a wonderful job. Even gave my difficult cat medicine. Highly recommend”
About: Being a pet-sitter isn't just a way for me to make money. It's a way of life that aligns with who I am. I've always felt most at peace around animals. Growing up with pets they were more than just companions. They were part of the family. So the idea that I can combine that love for animals with something I do for work is truly fulfilling. I spent 10 beautiful, years with my partner in crime, a Great Dane named Padmé. Being a bigger dog, I feel confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Other than volunteering at the Young-Williams Animal Shelter where I've been trained in canine handling, this is my primary job. I am currently available Monday through Sunday starting as early as 6am until 8 pm. I am flexible and can work within your schedule. I provide a calm and quiet introduction to allow your pet to become acclimated to my presence. On walks, I allow pups ample time to sniff and explore their environment on the walk.
About: Ever since I was born we have had a dog in the house, I have also been pet sitting for neighbors and friends since I was probably 10. Moving to Knoxville for school, I had to leave both of my puppies at home and miss them so much everyday! I did a lot of pet sitting my senior year of high school and found it a good way for me to make money. I had a job at a doggy daycare in town but unfortunately my schedule this year would not allow for the time! I am an active person but definitely enjoy it a lot more with a furry friend to walk with whether that’s at the park or just in a neighborhood! I am currently a 3rd year student at UTK studying nursing, and will be here for the next few years taking classes and hopefully eventually working at UT med, I would love to help out as my schedule allows! I have a lot of knowledge about dogs since i spend a lot of time around them and just enjoy making a dogs life better! I am a student with my classes currently 1 day a week, over the summer, in the fall I will have 3 days of classes per week. If my schedule allows I would LOVE to help out! Please always reach out with any questions! I can pretty much do anything with an explanation, once I get a feel for the home and the dog it will be easier but I constantly try to love and spoil them because I know that’s the best part of their day! Wanting to be a nurse I just love to care for others which is why I enjoy taking care of dogs and just giving them the best life possible. I have a truck as well so very reliable transportation however they’re safety is my top priority and making sure they don’t feel uncomfortable especially in their own home.

Mechanicsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Reagan was amazing with our special rescue doggies! She made them feel loved while we were away on vacation, and we will definitely book with her again. Our house was clean and the dogs were in great moods. She even helped with my sons’ fish that I always seem to forget about 😅
Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!
Ruth Ann was amazing and so easy to work with! Remi certainly enjoyed their time together. I will certainly use her again!
If you want a petsitter that makes your pets not realize you are gone... Hope is it!! She was amazing with our 2 dogs and home for a week. Won't hire anyone else as long as she is available!!
Dani was amazing! She communicated very well and I could tell she cared for my dog like she was her own. Highly recommend!
Nancy made it possible for our cats to enjoy their days just like usual during our two-week trip. Thanks to her, we were able to worry less about them while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and kindness. If we ever need someone to look after our cats again, we would definitely ask her. Thank you, Nancy!
Jacklynn was wonderful with our pets. She’s kind, confident, easygoing and engaging with the pets. Jacklynn sent pics during the day and even took some instant ones for us to keep. We will absolutely have Jacklynn again and highly recommend her!
Sarah was super communicative when she stayed with 3 of our babies. She did good with the daily supplements and great with our asthmatic cat! She provided pictures daily and kept us well informed on how things were going!
Left my silly dog with her for a weekend and came back and he was still silly. All in all, a great dog sitter. Would book again.
We had a great experience with Jasmin. She was very professional from the beginning with the meet and greet and responding to messages promptly. She sent daily updates and lots of photos. I would use her again and recommend to friends/family.
Mary-Claire was awesome. We had a last minute change of plans and she was able to help us by dog sitting in our time of need. Our dog can be a bit protective, but because she’s so kind and caring he warmed up to her quickly. I really appreciate her professionalism and communication. They had a great weekend and I will definitely book again.
Katherine did an awesome job with my 3 fur babies. I have one the late is very hesitant with new people and is also terrified of storms. Katherine dealt with her wonderfully and it didn’t take long for the pup to warm up to Katherine
Michael was very professional, took great care of my pups and of the house! Our little skittish Kristen warmed up to him relatively quickly. We hope Michael will be able to visit Warren and Kristen again sometime!
Heather took good care of our dog and house during a long weekend. Appreciate the communication before and during our visit.
Katie watched our dog for us for an entire week when we were away on our honeymoon. She took our dog for walks, on car rides, and gave him so much love and attention. She was awesome, we highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets as their own! We couldn’t be happier!
Mallory was fantastic. She took great care of Zeke and communicated to make sure he was getting what he was used to and needed! Will definitely use her again.
Raegan was such a pleasure to work with and she took wonderful are of our pets! I would definitely recommend.
Taylor watched my three cats and did a great job! He provided updates and didn't hesitate to reach out while we were away. He even made great progress with my shy cat. Overall, 5 stars and will definitely be using him again.
