“Skylar was very responsive and communicated well. She sent me photos during our time away and answered anytime I had a question about how my dogs were doing.”


“Shawna was great with my two very energetic Boston Terriors. Her family was also wonderful as they included the pups in their everyday routine. Shawna is very personable and put my mind at ease from the first time I met her. I love the fact that she lives in the same town as me. I used the Rover services for four days. I received updates daily including photos…sometimes twice a day. As a pet mom I graciously appreciate that. My dogs seemed very content when we picked them up. My husband and I will definitely use Shawna as a pet sitter in the future. I feel like I made a new friend as well. Five out of five stars from me and my husband. 🐾”

“Mr. Darcy really enjoyed himself with Bill and his crew of pups he was watching. He came home exhausted so I am sure the play was non-stop. There were plenty of toys and a kiddie pool and the dogs had freedom to move from inside to outside. We will definitely try to stay here again.”


About: While I have cared for a number of my own pets over the years, I also held down a career as a veterinary technician. With this experience, I not only gained medical knowledge, but also gained experience in pet handling, behavior management, and responsive training. I currently work a full time position with open remote capabilities. I work five minutes from my home and can easily make regular trips to the house to provide extra outdoor breaks to any pet. I also am very active with my own lovable hound dog. We take regular evening walks and spend every morning basking in the sun in our fenced in backyard. I care for every pet like they are my own. I respect every pet parents wishes on the care and safety of their pet but will also allow them to have the freedom and comfort that they would have in their own homes. We live in a child free home with a fully fenced in back yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood that offers a peaceful and safe place to live and play.

“They did a great job. I was worried at first because it was my first time, but keturah did a really good job on keeping me updated and sending me pictures of my babies.”


“Lillian was amazing! Excellent communication, warm and caring home, I'm pretty sure my cat didn't want to come back home with me :D Highly recommended and I'll be using Lillian's services again very soon!”


“Janet was incredible!! She loved our dog, let her play in her backyard, sent us lots of pictures and a video, cuddled with our dog on her couch and let her sleep on her bed with her. Our dog loved Janet. We will definitely be booking with Janet again when we are in Knoxville.”


“Shannon was a terrific caregiver for my dog Dexter. She has kept him several times now and I'm very happy. Dexter is also happy. He gets to play outside and gets to come inside and lounge on the couch. Who could want more?”
