“Our pup loves Skylar and all her scratchies and floor time! She took such great care of him and even did more walks than we typically do- so he was in heaven! The house was also in great shape when we got home! Would definitely book her again if she was staying in the Knoxville area!”
“We loved getting all the pictures and videos. It was clear that our babies were being well loved in our absence. Joy was very respectful of our home and wishes. Jack and Callie can't wait to have Auntie Joy come back!”


“Stephanie was just what we needed for a quick get away. She have consistent updates and not too much or not too little communication. Professional and courteous! Thank you!”


“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.”

“Tate was great with our dogs - and our dogs can be a handful! He was also communicative and shared photos frequently. We would definitely rebook in the future.”

“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!”


About: I have always had a deep love for all animals but especially dogs and cats! I’ve had a dog (beagle mix) for 12 years and a cat for 5. I often pet sit for friends and family when they’re out of town which includes feeding, walking, playing, and making sure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away from home. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is active or naps all day, I will treat them like my own and make sure they get all the love and care they need! Additionally- I understand how important communication is (I’m a Communication major!) and will keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos! I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and sitting throughout the week. I’m reliable and will always shows up on time. I’m more than happy to accommodate to your pets schedule and needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I will ensure your pet is always in a clean, secure, and calm environment along with following any and all instructions provided. I will never leave pets unattended in any unsafe situation. Additionally, I will treat your home with the upmost respect and leave everything as I found it. I also make sure to provide consistent updates (pictures and videos) of your pet while your away to ensure your loved one is well taken care of!
“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!”


About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently working part-time but am always looking to pet sit for extra income. I'm available throughout most of the week for drop-in visits and occasional overnight house sitting throughout summer breaks and holidays. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.
“Taylor did an amazing job watching all our animals! I got a lot of updates and when we came back, our animals were happy and the house was immaculate! We will definitely be using him again to house sit for us!”

“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”


About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
“Helena took great care of my dog and gave her lots of love! She went above and beyond giving her walks and playing with her while we were gone, and took good care of the house too. Would book her again!”

“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”

“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!”

About: Hi there! I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover who connects easily with pets of all kinds. I’ve always had a soft spot for shy or nervous animals and love earning their trust through patience and kindness. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I regularly pet sit for friends and family. I once had a dog of my own, and even though she’s passed, she taught me how to understand and communicate with animals on a deeper level. Whether your pet needs playtime, long walks, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved until you’re back home. I do have a day job that keeps me busy from 8am - 5:30pm Monday - Friday. I also have a community commitment on Thursday nights. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep everything as comfortable and familiar as possible for them. I take time to learn their routines, favorite spots, and any special quirks so they feel secure and understood. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure your home stays tidy and that your pet is never left feeling lonely or anxious. You can expect regular photo updates, honest communication, and a respectful presence in your space. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Old City is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old City
Literally the best! I recently moved to Knoxville and brought a very anxious pup with me. I was really worried about leaving him while I had to travel for a weekend (especially on 4th of July weekend, he’s terrified of fireworks). Anna went above and beyond to reassure me of his wellbeing and sent a plethora of pictures! She also watched my cat too (she is pretty self sufficient hehe) and Anna even made sure to send pictures of her as well! Will definitely be booking again very soon!

Helena is just the best! This was the first time leaving my little fellow since moving and I could not have asked for a better experience! Receiving updates, pictures, and videos daily helped so much! When I got home, he was doing good and the house was clean, sheets washed, and straightened. I will definitely be using Helena!

Ethan was a great communicator. I adopted a rescue earlier this year who's very skittish with strangers. Ethan communicated behaviors and what he did, which was appropriate. Poor pups didn't get a walk because he wouldn't let Ethan put a leash on him. This dog has decided I'm his person and he's not taking chances! But he wasn't traumatized upon my return so I know Ethan's energy was a good match. My house is also under contract and Ethan was able to adapt to changing demands to accommodate.

My little man Max is not an easy job. Megan rose to the challenge and did what was necessary to calm him. He is not one to easily take meds. Megan was able to get it done. We will use Megan again. Thank you Megan for taking the extra time to take care of him. Inky the cat is happy too.

We just recently moved to Knoxville and had been a little anxious about finding a new dog sitter. Courtney was such a great sitter to our two sweet pups while we were on vacation. We got a lot of picture and message updates throughout our trip. She also made sure the girls were cared for up until we got home when we were running behind due to traffic! We will definitely be hiring again in the future ☺️

Stephanie was great taking care of pets while she was housesitting. She followed our instructions well and went above and beyond with pet care. She was even able make additional last minute visit to take care of our pets due to our flight getting delayed for 6 hours. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who may need her service.

Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!
