“Jenny is perfect with our little puppy. She takes such great care of the dogs that she has in her care. She treats them like her own. She updates me on everything. She sends pictures and even videos. We constantly have rebooked with Jenny. We love her!”
“Flexible and friendly. Lola had a great time and came home tired and clearly had fun. I could tell she was digging and running around with the other dogs having a great time.”
About: We had pets since I was born: dogs, cats, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, rabbits… Currently we have 2 dogs(corgis) mom and her son. Mom had 9 puppies and I wish we keep all of them if we could, that’s how I love dogs and pets in general! My dogs helped me to go through the worst time of my life and they give love for free, happy everyday and caring for them is the smallest thing we can do! In our home your pets can play inside or outside on large fenced backyard, sleep in a crate or just on their bed. I work from home and stay at home 7 days per week. I get up early to feed the dogs and then spend some time with them on backyard. I have fenced backyard where dogs can play how they want with our dogs. If I notice some unfriendliness I can separate them and always keep an eye on them throughout the day.

“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Kristy was wonderful with our girl! She sent pictures throughout the day letting us know how she was doing and what she was up to. We had total peace of mind and know that our dog had a great day with great care.”
“Danita took such good care of our girl on the 4th of July. She was wonderful. If we’re ever back in the area, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her. Thank you Danita!”

“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”

“Our boy's stay with Tabatha was just what the doctor ordered. Brinkley needed a play date and some serious socialization. He had three friends to play with, a couple of small kids and a lot if acreage to do it in. We got a much needed day off free from worry or stress about our boy. Tabatha even offered to give him food from her private stores when we decided to stay out later than we had originally planned. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!
About: I worked in a day care for 6 years. I couldn't how much love my heart can hold. I also take care of my parents and a close friend with dementia. We go to a senior center to dance, listen to music and socialize. I love all the animals that I have taken care of through the years. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits and fish. I love them all like they are my own. I don't have a full or part time job due to of taking care of my parents. I take them to their appointment, grocery shop, pay bills and help in the yard. So I have time to have fun with fur babies when I'm finished with their needs. I have transport dogs and have seat belts for them. I have a fenced in yard and I also let the dogs sleep in my bed or on the couch or in a crate what ever their parents want.
