About: I love animals of all kinds but I especially love dogs. I have been caring for dogs for 11 years. I've raised two dogs from puppies to senior citizens and they have since passed on. Three years ago I adopted a high energy boxer mix. I enjoy training dogs and doing activities like hikes, playing ball and swimming with them. I make sure my animals have adequate exercise, healthy food and lots of love. I am home most of the time and am able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2 ours if needed or whenever they signal. I take dogs out for a short walk in the morning and then a longer walk once it cools off in the afternoon/evening. I continue the feeding schedule that the owner specifies and only feed dogs the food their owners bring with them. I keep dogs and cats and they can sit or sleep wherever they are most comfortable. I have dogs beds but they are welcome to sleep on the couch if they want. If the dog is fearful, I give them their only little area until they warm up to the situation.
“Helena took great care of my dog and gave her lots of love! She went above and beyond giving her walks and playing with her while we were gone, and took good care of the house too. Would book her again!”


About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently unemployed. So I am mostly available throughout the week. However, I will not be available for weekends. Mainly because that's when I will be spending time with family and friends. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.
“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!”


“Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.”

“Bella is amazing! I will definitely be asking her to watch my pup again. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and cute pics. I can tell she really loves animals and is on top of it and professional. Highly recommend!”

“She came at last minute request and made herself available for all week. My dog is finicky, so I'm not sure how much interaction they had besides throwing the ball a few times. I didn't get any photos thru the dtay, but she also knew I was at hospital with my mom. Overall , I would use her again in an emergency, but I'm trying to get my dog to be out of kennel completely”
About: I have a golden doodle and have taken care of him since I was 10. Golden doodles are very high energy and require a lot of attention, so I have hands on experience to provide the best level care. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have cared for a variety of dogs whether that be walking, feeding, or playing. I’m currently a college student in Knoxville for the summer so I have plenty of time. I babysit in the mornings but am very flexible! I always make pet safety and comfort my top priority. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules the owner provides. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention, patience, and care while their owners are away.

Mechanicsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ethan was a great communicator. I adopted a rescue earlier this year who's very skittish with strangers. Ethan communicated behaviors and what he did, which was appropriate. Poor pups didn't get a walk because he wouldn't let Ethan put a leash on him. This dog has decided I'm his person and he's not taking chances! But he wasn't traumatized upon my return so I know Ethan's energy was a good match. My house is also under contract and Ethan was able to adapt to changing demands to accommodate.

Reagan was phenomenal. This was my first time using Rover and I was so lucky to connect with Raegan. She took wonderful care of my clingy pets, loved on them, and spoiled my dog rotten with play time. She kept me up to date on what was going on with the pets and cleaned up the house. If you want peace of mind that your pets and home will be well taken care of, I could not recommend Raegan enough.

Stephanie was great taking care of pets while she was housesitting. She followed our instructions well and went above and beyond with pet care. She was even able make additional last minute visit to take care of our pets due to our flight getting delayed for 6 hours. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who may need her service.

Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!

Abby watched our 11 year old dog, Oliver, while we travelled internationally. She was very conscientious and respectful of our home and took wonderful care of Oliver. It is so nice to be able to travel and not worry about leaving your pet and home. We will definitely use Abby again and recommend her highly.

Helena J. was very knowledgeable and friendly sitter! She has a lot of experience and sent lots of pictures and feedback during her stay while we were awaay. We did not ask her to clean-up afterwards but she even did a load of laundry for the linens used. Above and Beyond! Our house was just as we left it when we returned after a long day of travel...AND Our menagerie (2) basset's and (1) cat seemed very happy, like they didn't even miss us. That is all a fur baby parent can ask for!
