Dog Boarding in Powell Valley, TN

“We could not have asked for a more perfect sitter for Axel. Shawna was very responsive to all communications. She took extra care to ensure his safety and we had no concerns with knowing he was well taken care of.”

Kelly M.

“Skylar & Trey were very warm & reassuring when I had to leave my 14 year old Bichon, who’s never been boarded, for almost 2 weeks. They responded promptly to texts & sent lots of pictures of my pet while I was vacationing.”

Joyce B.

“Hannah is very sweet and communicative and her dogs are just as nice. I’m sure my dog and his puppy energy was a pain in the butt but if he was they didn’t let on and the photos they sent showed them getting along perfectly. I would highly recommend Hannah.”

Cher B.

“Shaney took really great care of our doggies while we were out of time. We would get daily updates and photos! Would highly recommend her and use her again! ❤️”

Megan H.

“Deb was absolutely amazing! We got updates daily and our Zola was so happy playing with her new furry friends! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby!”

Margie H.

“Fantastic Guy! Really nice, excellent communication, and there were no worries with him watching Luna. It took a load off my shoulders knowing she was in such great hands! Will 100% rebook, and highly recommend!”

Shane K.

“Andrew was terrific! We will definitely use him again. We received photos and updates each day, he answered tons of questions and was so patient with us. I have total trust in him and are so happy to have a place for our fur baby to go when we can’t be with her.”

Vickie K.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my precious pup with. Angelica was amazing and Winnie seemed to really enjoy her time with her. She was available with only a 2 week notice and she was very responsive. Without asking, she sent me loads of updates. You could tell Winnie was well taken care of and she enjoyed playing with Angelica’s pups as well. I will definitely use Angelica for any future needs we have!!”

Heather L.

“Kayla took excellent care of our Lily! She made her feel at home and sent us lots of pictures throughout her stay. We would definitely book with her again.”

Janet R.

“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”

Katie D.

“Heather is great. Tucker loved being with her and her family so much that he whined on his way home because he was missing them already. I highly recommend Heather!”

About: My full time job is working in pediatric and geriatric occupational therapy! Not only am I passionate about caring for my 2 legged clients, but I also love caring for my 4 legged ones 😁 Message me for specific details regarding the care of your pup! I work a 9-5 job Monday-Thursday and come home at lunch. Monday my husband is home and Friday I am home. Weekends the whole family is there along with my step daughter. I have a 4 year old hound who I typically either let off leash or on a lead in our back yard. We go on daily walks in the evenings after work, but have frequent potty breaks and play time out in the back yard.

“I wish I could give a 10 star! I am a helicopter dog parent. I will. Happily admit, I've left my dog with another lady who used to work with Rover who was excellent but I can say this without a doubt. My dog has never came home. So happy and energized realizing he had fun. He was exercised. He was spoiled with Amanda just like he is with me and that does my heart good. Amanda is my go-to regardless of the need. Thank you, Amanda!”

Constance G.

“Tammy was great to work with ! Sent pictures throughout Coco’s stay. Long walks everyday and lots of cuddles. Maintained crating & Coco’s normal routine as much as possible. Will definitely use again in the future.”

Rebecca H.

“We had our 8 month old puppy stay overnight for the fort time with Ruth. We were nervous leaving her for the first time, but Ruth set us at ease. She was great with our dog, kept her same schedule, went on walks and lots of playing, with plenty of rest also. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our pup to stay! We will definitely have our dog stay with Ruth again!”

Brea M.

“Sarah was wonderful with my little Waylon,I will definitely be using her again, and I would remend her to anyone. She kept me updated ,sent videos and pictures every day.”

About: PROMO CODE: $20 off for first-time Rover users!!! EMILYH23876 Hey there! My name is Emily, and I’m a veterinary student at LMU. I graduated from Auburn University as an Honors Scholar in Animal Sciences, and I have a variety of animal experience that I put toward both my pet-sitting business and veterinary career. As an experienced dog-walker and sitter, I understand that everyone's needs are different, and I am ready to tailor an experience for you and your pets! I offer dog walking, sitting/home drop-ins, boarding*, and additional services such as basic grooming and house-care. Although my availability has become more variable week-to-week since starting veterinary school, I always have a clear view of my schedule for the entire semester and will make every effort to fit your fur baby into it. (See the last paragraph in this section!) I am doing this job for a small source of income and also just because I enjoy being around animals! Animal care and intuition are skills I have always been able to rely on. From large animal practice to small animal practice, raptors and more, I have accumulated roughly 1000 hours of volunteer work in different areas before applying to veterinary school. Furthermore, I was employed in some of the best boarding and daycare kennels in Huntsville and strive to provide their level of excellence and precision in care PLUS the comfort of home at an affordable price. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I grew up with several pets in my own home. Home was the first place where I learned to love and understand animals. My family has two dogs and two cats back home. Waldo, an Irish Wolfhound mix and my best friend, lives with me in Kentucky while I continue school. I also recently rescued two ball pythons that are as docile as can be! About an hour away, my horse lives at my boyfriend’s “misfits” farm along with several other spoiled-rotten rescues. Whenever possible, I participate as much as I can with their care. With so many animals to take care of, we are always coming up with creative ways to suit everybody’s needs in an efficient and effective way. I feel that boarding in a high-volume facility prepared me for this! It's a whole zoo over here. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My life will always revolve around animals, (despite my allergies!) With the experience and intuition I have gained so far from immersing myself in these activities, I can assure you that I will take good care of your fur-babies, whatever the task may be. I will go above and beyond expectations, to the best of my ability, in order to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable and that you come back to a home as good or even better than it was when you left it. Hire me and you won’t be disappointed! Tips are appreciated but never expected. I can be decently flexible and will try to work around classes! Please feel free to contact me and I will try my best to work something out! IMPORTANT: I am generally in class from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Harrogate, TN). We do normally have a (~hour) lunch break-- I intend on making daily (~10 min drive) trips home (Middlesboro, KY) to eat lunch and let my dog out daily (mid-day, varies by week/day, with the exception of occasional required sit-in lunches at the CVM) so, if your dog needs a mid-day potty break, this can best be achieved with boarding!! I also aim to make boarding my most cost-effective option (in most cases) because it requires the fewest trips! *See additional details about boarding requirements.

I also aim to make boarding my most cost-effective option (in most cases) because it requires the fewest trips! When we meet to discuss procedures, I take thorough notes just like I do for class! When I enter your home for petsitting, rest assured that I will pay close attention to detail and take care of every task you ask of me to the best of my ability. I am not afraid to clean when I think it is necessary or beneficial, and strive to leave your home and anything I use in the same or better condition than it was when I encountered it. I will let dogs out to potty as directed and clean any litter boxes or crates at least daily or as directed. I will feed your pets with extra care and be mindful of their behavior and intake. Water is the most important substance for the body, so it is of top priority for me to provide plenty of fresh water and monitor water intake as well. I like to provide extra containers in case one becomes empty or gets spilled. Perhaps the best part about home pet sitting is your pets comfort and one-on-one enrichment. While I have had the privilege to work in some excellent facilities, I have also seen some pretty awful boarding kennels! I strive to make your pet feel as secure, comfortable, and happy as possible during my stay and will take the time to understand each one’s individual needs in order to tailor my care to them! From a run around the block to a nap on the couch, I aim to provide whatever will make your pet happy while you are away.

“Brittany was great! She did very well with our dogs, also sent us pictures. We have had bad experiences in the past with Rover so we were skeptical, but the experience with her was amazing!”
