About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of The Smoky Mountains, about 30-40 minutes from the main attractions, for ex; Dollywood and The Island of Pigeon Forge. 17 minutes from the FootHills Parkway. 22 minutes from Townsend. My home is the perfect home away from home for your pet while you enjoy your vacation. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence not completely closed off, but We are working on getting that done soon. I added a free standing fence in the meantime to prevent any escapes. I do not leave dogs outside by themselves. I will always be out there with them. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“Danita was amazing, she help me out at the last moment when my scheduled dog walker did not show up. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby. She even offered to dog sit so my vacation was not stressful due to the other dog walker being a no show.”
“I just want to say that Amy went above and beyond to take my girl on a lovely walk after the rain had fallen. Thank you for making our day you are definitely my top walker this far. I’ll see you soon”

I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions.

My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for- and that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about them.

About: My experience with dogs has gone on since a very young age. Growing up, my favorite job was always pet sitting. I've been surrounded by many types and sizes and have learned about many of them. I've trained my 100-pound lab and now have to provide her with certain medications. My family, friends, neighbors, and others have trusted me to take care of their pets and know they will easily become comfortable. I take my dog on daily walks, as well as feeding her in the morning and at night. We take her on drives since she loves the car, and play many different games with her to keep her smart. We make sure our pets are always comfortable. Meaning getting many walks, as well as being fed food and water. We make sure they get plenty of playtime, as well as taking their little naps.
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

Brita was so nice and sweet with my dog. She was able to come for a meet and greet and walk her a few days later with less than a week notice. If your camping in Townsend or Walland, TN and want to adventure without your pups, I highly recommend Brita to come walk them without worry.
Brita took great care of both of our dogs and made sure they got a walk on both Saturday and Sunday. We also really appreciated the photos and updates! It gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Brita again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Melrose. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
