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.

About: Animals have always been a part of my heart and my home. I cared for my Malti-Poo for 19 wonderful years, through every stage of life — from playful puppy days to providing gentle medical care in his senior years. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and how every pet deserves love and comfort, no matter their age or needs. When I care for your pet, I treat them with the same tenderness and respect I gave my own. Caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life — it’s something I love, not just something I do. I naturally build my day around the pets I care for, whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles. I plan my schedule so each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. Feeding, walks, and check-ins are done on their routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always make sure to leave space in my day for extra snuggles or a longer walk if a pet needs it. Being around animals brings me joy, and fitting pet care into my daily routine feels like the most natural part of my day. 🐾 Your pet’s safety (and your home’s!) is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are securely closed after every walk or potty break. I keep food, medications, and cleaning supplies safely out of reach, and I’m extra careful so pets can’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I always respect your home — cleaning up after meals, wiping paws, and leaving everything just as I found it. I follow any security instructions you provide, like alarm systems, locks, or key handling. You can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved — and your home is cared for, too.

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!

Hailey was a wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of my babies while I was on vacation. My house was tidy when I came home and the animals seemed very content. I appreciated her daily updates and checking in regarding her final day at the house. Will definitely request to book again during my next trip!

About: I have had dogs since childhood and have taken care of neighborhood pets since middle school. I can perform check-ins, take them on walks, administer medications, and monitor health issues. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and especially love seniors. I am a full time student and a part time vet assistant, but I always make time for your pets. I am available for check-ins throughout the week and overnights on the weekends I always triple check the house before leaving, monitor food and water intake, and ensure overall health. I love keeping pet parents updated, especially photos of their pets having fun.

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!

I had such a great Rover experience booking with Kelli and by the looks of it, my dog had an even better time! Banks was so happy being able to stay in his house where he is most comfortable and it was a huge weight off my shoulders knowing he was in good hands and not anxious from being in a new place. I will definitely be rebooking and using Kelli again in the future :)

About: I love all animals, especially meeting new dogs! I am willing to travel around the Knoxville area as needed by the job. I'm very flexible and I love long walks at any speed your dog feels comfortable going at. I like exploring areas and love parks, especially finding new areas around the city. I am very patient with all ages of dogs and would love to get to know the personality and habits better. I prefer weekends or evenings for all visits due to my regular work schedule. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I prefer mornings or weekend, but have some flexibility if needed and I am willing to work with you and your pet to make sure your pets gets all the attention it needs! I have a four year old cat who lives with me and therefore cannot have your pets over. I am willing to spend as much time as needed in your neighborhood ensuring your pet gets proper exercise.

Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!

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.

Emma watched our dog while we were visiting my family for the holidays in Seattle and was great. She stayed at our home for four nights and constantly updated us on how he was doing and was a great communicator. When she left she even washed the sheets from our guest room and made sure all our mail and packages were left neatly on our dining room table. I would highly recommend Emma to watch your pets, and we will definitely be using her to watch our dog next time we’re out of town!
