About: I have owed dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout my life; and have taken care of many of friends and families dogs. All dogs that I have owned I have trained well and treated well. I love going on walks with dogs and you can be assured they will be well fed and groomed. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can plan pet care around my family’s routine. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as the occasional night time visit. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to find a time that works best for everyone. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding, walking, or care instructions to help your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“My walker has been fantastic with Olive. She’s reliable, communicates well, sends great updates and photos, and I really appreciate knowing Olive gets a good walk, some attention, and a midday break while I’m at work. Olive clearly enjoys her time with her, which is probably the best review I can give. Also, the detailed poop reporting has become unexpectedly important to me. 😂 Highly recommend.”

“Stephanie has always been awesome with Jake. Every time I've needed her to come and take care of our Jake with little notice. She's been there to feed him, take him out for a walk, and take a bunch of pics of my boy playing. I always felt great knowing that Stephanie was there to take care of Jake when I couldn't be there. She's the best!”

“Madeline took great care of our dogs while we were out of town!! We loved getting photo updates. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”

“Lauren is fantastic with my little poodle girl who absolutely adores her! Lauren has proven over and over to be reliable, kind, and goes above and beyond when my animals are in her care. So thankful to have found her.”

About: Hi! I'm Jessica, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. As a teacher and mom of four, I'm dependable, patient, and responsible. I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that pets are cherished members of the family. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've volunteered at animal shelters and have experience fostering animals, helping them feel safe, loved, and cared for while they waited for their forever homes. Those experiences have taught me how to work with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk while you're at work, drop-in visits, or loving care while you're away, you can count on me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable communication. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and care I would give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a full-time teacher, I have a dependable schedule that allows me to provide pet care before and after the school day. I’m also available on weekends, school holidays, and throughout the summer, giving me extra flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet sitting. My career has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and responsibility, so you can trust that your pets will receive consistent, loving care whenever you need it. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, well-being, and individual needs. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and compassionate every step of the way.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a deep love for pets and wild animals, alike. I have ample experience caring for a wide range of dog sizes, and I have experience fostering cats for Young Williams. I am patient and loving with even the timid pets. I am a graduate student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of pets during normal working hours for most people. I also have a car so I can drive different places, and I love being outdoors so I don’t mind spending a lot of time outside with your pet. I am very vigilant with my own pet as well as other people’s pets. I always make sure that they don’t eat any plants or objects that could potentially harm them. I also always make sure they stay hydrated and pay attention to their body language.

About: Hi, I'm Nicole! With over 10 years of dog care experience and three rescue pups of my own (two Great Pyrenees and a Beagle/Lab mix). I provide your pets with the utmost love, safety, and attention. ​Your pup will enjoy a fully fenced, 300+ ft yard with plenty of room to run and play. Plus, I'll send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. While I work Mondays through Thursdays, my schedule opens up every Thursday night through Sunday evening. I’d love to take care of your pups for weekend stays and walks! Your pup becomes part of the family! They’ll have access to a fully fenced, 300+ foot yard with endless room to run, play, and explore alongside my friendly dogs. From Thursday evening through Sunday evening, I’m dedicated entirely to their care, ensuring plenty of playtimes, cozy spots to relax, and constant supervision.

About: I am an experienced veterinary assistant with experience handling all breeds and temperaments of dogs! I have experience with both behavioral and medical needs, and I am happy to do whatever is necessary to keep you and your babies happy! I currently work full time, however, I work at a doggy daycare so many times the dogs can come with me as long as they are up to date on shots! I also get an hour long lunch break, where I am able to go home and give them love! I am avid about keeping a clean and neat home whether mine or yours! I am happy to clean up after myself whether that means laundry or baths for your babies!

About: I’ve always LOVED animals of any kind. (Used to want to be a vet but realized it was too hard to see animals in distress). We’ve had dogs and cats in our home since I was a little girl. I’ve had over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small pets for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a sweet spot for animals and would do my upmost best to ensure your baby is taken care of to the best of my abilities. I will treat your pet with the same care I would my own. My personality is this: patient, calm, gentle, and detail oriented. I also believe heavily in communication and will always appreciate a pet owner who also likes communication. Communication is very important to me because I want to make sure I can do my job to the best of my abilities. I currently have my own 1 year old terrier and have done everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training. I want all of my customers to rest assured their fur babies will get the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible so I can make the time to take care of your pets! I work throughout the week including some weekends and can take your pet out as frequently as they need. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for. I have a fenced in yard outside, suited for small to medium dogs. I also live in a house in a neighborhood that is suitable for walking your pet if you would like. I also make sure that my home is free of any dangers or anything toxic to any pets. I raised both puppies and kittens and know how to properly ensure animals are taken care of appropriately.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I care for since my daughter is young. I feel each individual person cares for their pets in the way that is best for them. I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!

“Leia seemed so happy when I finally got home from work! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her. Made it much easier to do what I had to do knowing my doggy was okay...and loved the updates!”

About: Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to care after their dogs, cats, turtles, birds, and chinchillas! I have a huge heart for all animals, but dogs and cats will always hold a special place ♥️ I have a flexible schedule since I am beginning my journey to obtain a health coaching certification online. I can provide drop-ins, walks, and house sitting services! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and happy! I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I take time to learn their personality, favorite activities, and any special needs they may have.

About: I am 31 and I have worked in retail at a pet store and doggy daycare for the past two years. I previously worked at another dog kennel, where I would take care of dogs in the best way possible! I walk, exercise, feed, medicate, clean, and occasionally bathe dogs! I love my job and I have experienced different breeds and all personality types. I have dealt with senior dogs who must be medicate at certain times, to the smallest puppy who must eat at certain times. I am reliable, responsible, and will care for your fur baby like my very own! I will say I am NOT good with plants, sadly. Not sure why. I water them and let them get sun but they still die. I killed my cactus in about 3 days 😐 If you have plants to care for I will water them and make sure they get enough sunlight, but that hasn't worked so far, but I will do my best! I have certian availability and reliable transportation, as well as a love and passion for animal care. I am willing to travel to meet you and your fur baby. I follow your exact instructions when it comes to the care and needs of your pets. When it comes to your pet's safety, I work diligently to protect your fur baby and keep you at piece of mind!

About: I am a 24 year old professional singer who grew up with 14 cats and 3 dogs. It would bring me immense joy to take care of your fur baby whether it be a tiny dog/ cat to the largest dogs out there! All animals are welcome and I will treat them with kindness, gentility, love, and respect of your caretaking wishes. I am a professional actress and singer who has ton of free time outside of contracts! I am extremely available to walk, house sit, and care for your animals! I can administer medicine ( growing up with 14 cats ensured that I understand the delicacy pet care requires), give lots of cuddles, and follow any care taking regime you prefer for your babies!

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!
