Doggy Day Care in Parkridge, Knoxville, TN

“Jenny was so great! She accepted a late request and helped me have a great first experience with Rover. I love taking my pup Perdita anywhere I go but she doesn’t do well around crowds and some places just don’t allow dogs so it is comforting to have a service like this for dog people who can’t stand boarding their pets for long periods of time. Anyway, Perdita had a good time and got to be in a safe place. it usually takes her a long time to warm up to new people and places, but I think she broke her record today for fastest friendship! Thank you Jenny! I will definitely contact you again if we’re in the area and Perdita needs a place to spend some time. I will also be using River again when I travel!”

“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”

“I was anxious to leave Sadie somewhere for the first time, but Melinda made the process so easy and really put me at ease. She sent pictures and a video throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. We’re using her again in June. Thank you Melinda for making this a great experience!”

“Avonlea was so awesome watching our pup while we attended to Pigeon Forge for the day. From the moment our pup first saw her, she was ready to play! Love the photos she took of her throughout the day! Thanks Avonlea!”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. After losing my 15 year old beagle, I became a foster parent with various animal shelters. I have successfully rescued 15 dogs and placed them with their forever families. My last foster boy, I ended up falling in love and adopting him as my own. His name is Roland.. I have a fenced in backyard and a private room with a doggie door to allow access to the yard. I would prefer one dog at a time (plus mine) But can make exceptions after their first stay. I currently work full time in an office 5 mins away. So I can check on my fur babies during lunch hour. Please see my calendar for Availability. I always keep my dog, Roland, separated from my new Rover pets until they get acclimated to being somewhere new. I also have the ability to keep my dog separated if my Rover needs privacy. Safety first.

“Talk about “above and beyond” - Khasia was amazing to work with - and on very short notice! Goldie was very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to use Khasia again. She was polite, professional, and very kind.”

About: As a former vet tech I have experience in animal care as well as building relationships with their owners. I believe it’s important to get to know you and your pets specific needs and focus on one-on-one care to dedicate my time to your pet to give them the attention they deserve. I have a senior greyhound named Pippa, and a ragdoll cat named Hemingway. I am currently a stay at home mom and would be bringing my child with me during visits.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.

“Kirk and Nicole took wonderful care of Tuck. He was so tired out after playing with his new friends! We felt comfortable that he was in a good place and well cared for. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”
