Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dogs and have a fenced yard.
I've kept dogs at my house for 30 years. I have a fenced in yard and your dogs can sleep in my bed if they want to. I'm over protective rather than under protective, which I think is a good thing. I prefer keeping dogs that weigh no more than 25 pounds, and that are 3 years old or older. I prefer not keeping senior dogs that I would have to carry down my porch steps. I'm too old for that now. I prefer to not sit special needs elderly dogs. By special needs I mean diapers and having to carry them up and down my steps going into my yard. I'm getting too old for that. Also I prefer keeping dogs below 25lbs. That wasn't an option in the settings for Rover.

Ratings and reviews
We absolutely in love with Mrs Dee! She is so nice and communicative throughout the day. She has been able to accommodate us anytime we need her and she absolutely loves our dog and she loves her back!
Dee was fabulous. It was a last minute request from us. She gave our dog lots of love and attention.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dee. She took exceptional care of our severely anxious dog and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she care for him with so much patience and love, but she also kept us constantly informed, sending updates and pictures throughout the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. What impressed me most is her energy. My dog does not accept just anyone, yet from the very first moment he met Dee, he instantly trusted her. He even walked right into her home without hesitation, something he has never done before. That alone speaks volumes about her calm, loving, and genuine dog-friendly energy. I wholeheartedly recommend Dee to anyone in the Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg area. She’s only about 20 minutes away, and it is absolutely worth it knowing your dog will be in the best hands possible. When we return to TN I will definitely look for Ms. Dee again. She’s officially our TN doggy sitter! Thank you, Dee—we love you.
Dee was very accommodating when we needed a last minute sitter. Duncan was calm and enjoyed his stay which is saying alot because he has severe separation anxiety. The next time we are down in the Gatlinburg area we will most definitely reach out to Dee!
Dee was the absolute best. She was able to take care of our dog in a tough situation besides being the sweetest lady. My dog loved her and seems to be exhausted to be back home. I would definitely recommend Dee for taking the best care of them. She gave us so many updates throughout the day while was there. We would definitely try her again if we are in the area!
Dee was GREAT!!! We are from out of the area and needed a sitter for 2 special events we were attending. We wanted the same person for both weekends. She communicated with us immediately and helped us plan the schedule. She was very accommodating. Our dog is a Maltese with the typical Maltese personality. Dee gave her lots of loving attention. Her little dog, Luna is wonderful and as welcoming as Dee. If we are in the Knoxville/Gatlinburg area we will use Dee again. WOW, Dee is wonderful. You cannot go wrong with Dee.

I have a fenced in yard and a 10 # Chihuahua. She is 12 1/2 years old. Your dog can sleep in my bed if they want, or I can crate them if you prefer. I will lavish attention on your pup. ❤️
Pets
A typical day
If it's nice weather we will play outside and maybe go for a walk, if allowed by owner if the dog doesn't pull too much. I have lots of dog toys for inside.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to know about. My preference is for dogs that aren't aggressive and will get along with other dogs. I prefer keeping dogs 25 #'s and under.
