“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.”


“Sure! Here’s a concise and positive review you can leave for your Rover dog sitter: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ysalys was fantastic! Super communicative throughout the entire stay—kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book again!”


“Melissa was an absolute dream cat sitter for me. My sweet Louie struggles with strangers and socialization. He is very anxious and doesn’t do well with new people, but I didn’t want him to be lonely on my trip. Melissa spent so much time and effort making Louie feel comfortable with her during her visits. She kept me updated the whole time with photos and updates on his behavior. She was neat and tidy, brought my mail in for me, and made sure he had everything he needed. I would give her 100 stars on this review if the app would let me. Melissa was phenomenal. I’m using her again in two weeks. I was so worried that I would find a sitter who didn’t understand Louie and who wouldn’t try to bond with him, but with Melissa that couldn’t be further from the truth. She was absolutely amazing and I am so glad Louie has someone like her to care for him now!”


“Angela was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job caring for our three pups — you can tell she truly loves animals. She was super sweet and showed so much love and attention to each of them. Communication was excellent throughout, and we had zero issues. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her care. Highly recommend! 🐾”


“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.”


“I felt at ease with Katherine looking after my pup. She was willing to take the time to understand and accommodate her quirks. She understands the nuance of dog behavior and brings lots of relevant experience. She’s communicative and very competent!”


“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!”


“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!”


“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!”


“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!”


“Angela was so wonderful with both my dogs while I was out of town. She was great with communication and sent daily updates and pictures. She was also very respectful and I can wait to book with her again!”

“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!!”


About: I started taking care of dogs my sophomore year of college. I learned quickly that it was very important to take the best care of other peoples pets. It has taught me a lot of responsibility. I I work for an afterschool program in the area, I go to work either at 9:30 or 10:30 and get off after 6. If taking care of a pet then I make sure they are let out before I leave and also come back to the house at lunch to let them out and give treats! I make sure that dogs are loved and cared for when their owner is away. I want to make sure dog and owner trust me.

About: My family has fostered dogs for the past few years, and we’ve had at least one family dog since I was born. I pet sit for my neighbors and family friends often, both cats and dogs alike, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities! On the daily I take care of my family dogs. I take them on morning walks, make sure they don’t eat each other’s food, and give them PLENTY of play time, pets, and loves! I’m also well-versed in caring for anxious dogs, as our medium-size dog is very nervous at most hours of the day. I don’t believe in using fear tactics to punish dogs, such as time-outs or spraying them with water. Instead, I promote positive behaviors by engaging with them happily and giving them treats (if permitted) when they do something they’re supposed to do! With my clients, I take pets on walks or do a scheduled play time for as long as is requested, and I make sure they’re comfortable and fed every time I visit! If overnight or all-day stay is needed for particularly clingy pets, I’m completely open to discussing hours for that, and will never leave a pet alone or push it away if it needs a person there!

“Brooke saved the day by being available last minute to help us while our dog was unable to be in daycare. She communicates very well and I love how sweet she has been about our puppy! We are super happy with her help.”



“Hope was awesome with my dog, Amelia! I got pictures and updates and funny anecdotes about their time together while I was on vacation. I can tell that Amelia was loved well. I absolutely plan on using her again in the future!!”


“Haley was very accommodating and so good to my babies. She was sure to send pictures and make sure they had the best care possible. I appreciated her and will book her again ?”

My dogs (all three of them!) absolutely adore her and are always so excited to see her because they know it means nothing but snuggles, walks, and loads of attention.”
