House Sitting Riceville

“Wow is all I can say! We have only lived in Tennessee 2 years and work so much we haven’t met anyone we trusted with our boys so thought we’d try Rover for a trip to Florida to help my parents move. We were gone a full 7 days. Michael came to meet us and our boys a couple weeks prior to our trip and was very pleasant and professional. We have a pit and a frenchie that are a bit high maintenance. Every day he sent us pics and a note on how everyone was doing. Our home was spotless when we got back he even picked up the back yard and ran our vacuum. Our boys seemed happy and we couldn’t be happier owners! Michael really took a ton of stress off our shoulders and made it easy for us to be productive and have a good week away. Thank you so much!!!!!”

“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter. She kept me updated on my dogs wellbeing which was really appreciated and made my trip more enjoyable. The house was in perfect order when we returned home and Sydney gave her and her husband a thumbs up. I have already booked her for our next trip. I highly recommend Stephanie.”

“So grateful to Jay for making our vacation worry free!! Especially with our senior dog, who we were reluctant to board due to a heart condition that worsens when she gets excited/nervous. Jay was very responsive to my request for a home stay, and offered a meet and greet in our home at our convenience. He and his wife were just lovely and they asked all the right questions - so we knew off the bat that our girls would be just fine while we were away! We got regular updates and pictures while we were gone and when we came home our two dogs and cat were just as happy and healthy as reported :) I think they might have even been a little disappointed to see us instead of Jay! Lol, until next time girls. And thanks again Jay!”

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else. Throughout the day, between classes and assignments, I'm there to ensure your pets feel loved and attended to. From morning cuddles to evening adventures, I'm dedicated to creating memorable experiences and building a strong bond with your pets. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.

“Katherine was great. She took very good care of Jax and definitely went the extra mile for him. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”

Kristen K.

“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”

About: I am was previously a volunteer at the Alameda Animal Shelter which I have been for about a year. I have dog sat many friends dogs while away on trips and walk my dog every day rain or shine. Many of my friends and family often rely on me to watch their dogs while they're away on vacation and I am always eager to accept! I enjoy taking 1-2 hour walks/jogs everyday and love to take dogs along with me. I will always send you photos of how your pup is doing while you're away and give you a full report on our day! I currently own a Shiba Inu named Thor which you might have met at the dog park or when I walk him around. I have grown up around animals all my life and believe that they are truly part of the family.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where my parents bred Boxers, so caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels became second nature to me from a young age. Throughout my life, I’ve always had pets of my own, and I’m also the person my family turns to when they need someone they trust to care for their animals while they’re away. I currently have three English Springer Spaniels of my own, so I’m VERY familiar with energetic, playful, affectionate—and sometimes very needy!—dogs. 😂 I understand that some pets need much more than a quick potty break. Whether yours needs a good walk to burn off some energy, lots of playtime, extra cuddles and attention, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My experience goes beyond dogs, too. I’ve cared for cats and currently have a snake of my own, so I’m comfortable around a variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I also have firsthand experience caring for pets who need a little extra attention. One of my own dogs is prone to recurring skin issues, so I’m very familiar with the additional care that can come along with that. I’m comfortable following established care instructions, including medicated baths and other routine at-home care, when provided by an owner or veterinarian. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual. If an emergency were ever to occur while your pet was in my care, I would never hesitate to contact you and seek appropriate veterinary care. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals with someone else, so I want to give you the same peace of mind I would want when leaving my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and all their little quirks rather than treating every animal the same. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I’ll care for your animals the way I would want someone to care for mine. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, later evenings, unusual work schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. Whether you need a consistent weekly routine or occasional care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule rather than making them adjust to mine. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always do my best to keep their feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and medication routines as close to normal as possible. 💕 My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as much like home as possible. I truly believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their normal routines don’t have to change just because their owners are away. Tell me how things work at home, and I’ll do my best to keep it that way! If your pup sleeps in bed with you, they’re welcome to snuggle up with us. If they’re happiest sleeping in their crate, I’m more than happy to maintain that routine as well. Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and other daily habits will all be tailored to your pet. We live in a quiet area away from busy roads and have a fully fenced yard with an additional guard along our iron fencing to help prevent even smaller dogs from slipping through. There are no children in our home, and our own animals are friendly, well-trained, and accustomed to being part of an active, pet-loving household. I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so everyone can get acquainted and we can make sure your pup feels comfortable. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, we frequently visit the Greenway for leashed walks, and I’m happy to provide other outings when appropriate for your individual dog and with your permission. I drive a roomy Kia Telluride, so I have plenty of space for comfortable transportation—and dog hair definitely doesn’t scare me! 😂 Playtime can get messy, and that’s perfectly okay! If your pup loves water, mud, or somehow manages to find every dirty spot possible, I’m happy to provide a bath upon request. I’m also comfortable following established care instructions for medicated baths when needed. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions regarding leashes, crates, feeding, medications, interactions with other animals, and anything else specific to your pet. I want to know their quirks, likes, dislikes, house rules, and the little things that make them feel secure. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see that they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Just tell me how you care for them at home, and I’ll do everything I can to make my home feel like theirs. 🦮✨

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time college student going to class late on Tuesday and Thursday . I work from 9-5 on Wednesday and Friday and 9-3 on Saturday at a furniture store in Madisonville. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.

“Sommer was amazing! Well, it was a last-minute decision to go out of town for the holidays and leave our puppy. We are so happy and lucky we found her. She did multiple overnight stays for us and worked around her schedule and was very diligent and making sure that our puppy was taken care of. I definitely look forward to having her as a part of our family as needed! Thank you, Sommer for all your help and I was not worried about my dog at all!”
