House Sitting Melrose

“Teresa consistently goes above and beyond and it shows. She treats Wrigley like her own, buying him treats, even giving him a bath and cleaning out his ear bc he was itchy. My house was spotless and my laundry folded on my return. She always keeps me updated and has such a great attitude about things. I highly recommend.”

“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”

“Leigh was amazing! Was very detailed oriented and made our pup feel loved and cared for. I felt comfortable with Leigh staying a few nights because they were always so responsive and responsible. Besides long walks and food they gave our Keira lots of quality time and snuggles. Would highly recommend.”

“Bethany watched my 3 dogs while I was away for a long weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures, followed all instructions, and gave my pups so much love and attention. So thankful to have a peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter!”

About: I’m a college student at UTK who loves animals and wants to spend more time around them! I’ve pet sit mostly for my family, friends, or coworkers and love meeting new pets! I’m a full time college student so I’ll be primarily open on weekends! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’m available after 4pm, Tuesday 12:30, and Thursday 6pm! I can follow a list of directions easily and feel comfortable communicating any issues or questions I have! All furbabies will be extra loved on and treated with the utmost respect and care in their homes! :)

“Emilie was a great house sitter for me! I trusted my dog and cat were being well taken care of. Will for sure be using her again!”

About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. 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. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

“Adeline was so amazing! She watched my cat after he had surgery and was still recovering, and she updated me regularly and took such great care of him!”

“MaShon did a great job watching our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. She took great care of them, sent us photos and was quick to respond anytime we checked in. She also took great care of the house and we will always check her availability first when we need someone in the future.”

“Jessica was amazing with our two boys! They just loved her. I just moved to the area and am relieved to have someone dependable to watch our dogs when needed.”

Katie F.

“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. Some breeds that I’ve worked with include Great Danes, Pit Bulls, Border Collies, a Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and more! I have experience in dog training, positive reinforcement, aggressive or reactive dogs, and senior care, more specifically canine cognitive dysfunction (dementia), incontinence, and paralysis. Rest assured, I am prepared and honored to take on any task to ensure your fur baby is comfortable and safe. Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

About: I have been boarding dogs in my home and providing in-home dog sitting for several years. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, love, and one-on-one care. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s routine and preferences to make their dog’s stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾💕 I’m a Gatlinburg Events Manager, so my schedule is busiest during daytime event hours. I’m typically available any day after 5:00 PM, making me a great fit for evening drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and last-minute dinner or evening plans.

I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and keep you updated while you’re away. My home is in White Pine although I do travel to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Mon-Fri and can Every pet is different, so I always do my best to follow their owner's routine and preferences. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection while maintaining the routines they're familiar with.

About: I've had cats all my life, dogs most of my adult life. Have bottle fed newborns and have had many pass away after long lives. When in High School I was a dog sitter and trainer for my neighbors. I'm retired so I'd expect to fed, walk, play with them through the day. While visiting your town I will want to go to the gym and probably try some places to eat, but don't have other obligations. I'm not planning on hosting. I'm not planning on hosting.

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve owned English Bulldogs for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with the breed and all of their funny little personalities.🤣 I also have experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and absolutely love caring for pets beyond just cats and dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a mom of two, a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I work from home and run my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually available throughout the day and into the evening for drop-ins, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but if you’re looking for someone who can stop by your home frequently throughout the day and evening while you’re away, I’d love to help! 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. I care for your pets in their home where they feel most safe and comfortable, rather than in an unfamiliar area as I feel it makes it easier on them.

“McKenzie was fantastic. She took great care of our fur babies while we were away on vacation. Would totally recommend her and will also be using her services again in the future!”
