“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
About: I've been the go-to for pet sitting since I was 9. Working alongside my Nanny mom and taking my own jobs with dogs as big as mastiffs and as small as chihuahua's. I love all pets, no matter how moody or sweet. I'm currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to play with your babies! I'm available for drop-ins before and after school and completely open on the weekend. I am very accommodating to any space, providing love and care for your baby wherever you may be at. I love playing outside with them or just cuddling up on the couch.
“Austin was so prompt and attentive to Milo and Merlin. He was able to accommodate last minute arrangements even during the busy holidays. I was very grateful to have the peace of mind knowing my boys were being loved and taken care of while I was away! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Anna took such great care of my cat Doug. She was always quick to reply to messages in the app, easy to work with, and best of all I could tell Doug (who is normally shy) was loving having her around. The pics she sent showed just how comfortable he was around her. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.
About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of giving medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.
About: Hi, I recently moved to Knoxville and am looking for new clients! I love hanging out with dogs and would be happy to give them love while you are away. I am detail-oriented and will follow your directions to a tee. I also love snapping cute pics of your pet to keep you updated! I am a big animal lover! I have helped care for family members and neighbors pets my whole life. I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. During undergrad, I fostered dogs and volunteered through the Lexington Humane Society. This work was so fulfilling and allowed me to provide shelter dogs with socialization and get them adopted! I would love to hang out with your furry friend(s) while you are away! I recently moved to Knoxville to start my Masters program at the University of Tennessee in August. I have classes at night Monday-Thursday and will be working 4 hours a day Monday-Friday, so I have flexibility to care for your pet(s)! My weekly schedule is as follows (with some variations as required.) Monday: work 9am-1pm, class 5:45-8:30pm Tuesday: work 1pm-5pm, class 5:45-8:30pm Wednesday: work 9am-1pm, class 5:45-8:30pm Thursday: work 1pm-5pm, class 5:45-8:30pm Friday: work 9am-1pm Saturday/Sunday: no set time commitments Through my time with the Lexington Humane Society, I completed trainings that covered dog behavior, body language, socialization, some basic training, and basic health info. This knowledge helps me provide the best support while I am working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and behaviors.
About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.
“Jessica dropped in on our dogs for a week while we were out of state, and I couldn't have been happier with choosing her! She was prompt, played lots with the dogs, made sure they were happy, and let me know when there were any unexpected things that happened! We got lots of pictures and updates! We will be coming back to her first in the future! Couldn't recommend enough!”
“I absolutely love Veronica! She’s always the one to watch my kitty while I’m gone. No task is too small or too big for her! If you tell her that your animal really appreciates something special she will always do it!”
“Wonderful pet (cat) sitter! Olive was very comfortable with Olivia. Maybe too comfortable bossing her around begging for treats and scratches. 😹 Great communication and pics/videos sent to us too! Will book again. 👍🏻”
“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Powell
She takes a ton of pictures and follows instructions exactly. She takes care of our dogs plus the added benefit of seeing our dogs have fun and be relaxed with her. It was a last minute request which she eagerly honored and we are so grateful that someone could check on our pups while we were away. It was such a last minute need (we stayed at the aquarium too long and needed someone to check on them the same day) and she fulfilled all our needs as well as went over the top to make sure we were informed of the care. I will be booking again if needed!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Powell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
