2. Bethany B.
“Bethany was fantastic. She was very attentive to my message while I was away and very understanding about assisting me with the inner workings of Rover. She arrived on time to take care of my kitties and reported how they were doing within minutes of leaving my place. I would highly recommend Bethany to anyone who is in need of a person to watch their pets. Great job Bethany!!”

About: I have housesat animals as big as 150 pound Great Pyrenees’s, to small kittens. I have also housesat many reptiles and macaws!! I have housesat for multiple animals with special needs from blind and deaf to special medications and food! I have had my own animals since I was a kid, including farm animals. I am a dental assistant in Knoxville and I work Monday-Friday. My normal schedule is 9-5, so normally I’m getting back around 6. I know many animals need potty breaks so I can always try to run back home on my lunch break! Will just depend on distance and gas! I have babysat for also 7 years, and when I am housesitting I always tend to your pets and house like I would your kids. Truly your pets are your kids, and I want to make each and every Dog Mom and Dad feel as comfortable as possible. I know how hard it is to trust people these days so I always text the home owners when I get there, leave, and I always take photos of your pets to send you throughout the time you are gone. I am never afraid to ask a question or shoot you a text. I would rather ask, than do something incorrect.

About: I’ve been an owner of 3 large breed dogs for almost 10 years now. We lost 2 of our fur babies last year. My dog Bentley is amazing with other dogs and he has been lonely since our other two have passed. I’m excited to take good care of your fur babies and give my baby some company. I work from home everyday except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So my days consists of lots of fetch in our yard, snuggles, and walks. My oldest daughter also loves to play fetch with him. I have 2 fenced yards, a dog run, and multiple crates if needed. We have plenty of space and baby gates to keep the pups downstairs or upstairs. My dog does sleep in bed with us and is not crated at all. He is an inside dog and he will keep your dogs company!

14. Karsyn D.
About: Personal and professional experiences with many animals! Growing up we had pets of all kinds like cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, snakes, birds & more. A few years back I worked at a canine daycare/boarding/training facility for about 2 years until the location sadly closed. I was responsible for up to 30 dogs at a time of all sizes. I did not get certified in training but I did get to practice & help enforce trained behaviors. After that, a client of the daycare hired me as a full-time nanny for two large-breed dogs. I was scheduled for anything from sitting, walking, & check-ins to short & long-term boarding in my home. When I moved from GA I had to say goodbye to the pups I loved as if they were my own. Today I have 2 dogs of my own but still make time for my favorite side gig! Iv recently became settled in Kingston and obtained many recurring clients. I look forward to meeting new people and their fur babies. Feel free to reach out with any questions to make sure I can meet your needs. Also, I do have local references that I can provide! :) Currently, I am enrolled in college full time. (7am-4pm weekdays) Making pet-sitting gigs my main income. I try to keep my schedule as up-to-date as possible. So feel free to ask about any times or days! I can easily follow a list of tasks or needs for your home and pets. I love to take pics & send them throughout my stay. I take pride in working hard and to the best of my ability. I can guarantee that I will give the best love, care, and safety I can provide.
15. Kati S.
About: I would love the opportunity to meet your fur family! I come from an animal-loving family and grew up around all sorts of pets, including dogs, chickens, goats, and birds. I've raised litters of high-energy Boxer puppies, dog-sit Golden Doodles regularly, and am absolutely obsessed with my brother's Frenchies and Chihuahua, as you can see from my pictures. Meeting new dogs and their lovely owners is a special privilege for me, as I am currently without a dog of my own. So help me curb my pet craving, by letting me help you! I am currently a Realtor looking for gig work to supplement my income. My schedule is very flexible, as I work mostly from home and have a varied schedule. I dog sit for friends and family around the holidays, leaving the rest of my schedule open for business! I realize it is difficult accepting new people into your home, and I am always respectful of a new client's space. I can't host at the moment because my apartment doesn't allow pets, but I am very comfortable pet-sitting in other's homes.

About: *I am currently only offering services that are under 10 miles away from Midtown* I have always had my own pets and have been caring for other peoples pets for over 6 years. I am a dog groomer in Lenoir City and have worked in the industry for almost 2 years. My experience includes handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, cats, horses, goats, and a variety of small critters. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, 2 guinea pigs, and a hamster. Due to my current work schedule, I am only available on Thursdays and Fridays, or before/after work the rest of the week. I am a dog groomer so care for more pets fits well with my day to day. Due to having 3 dogs of my own, I am not offering any boarding. I can do drop in visits, walks, or overnight care in your home. I’ll do my best to help keep your pets on a routine and make them comfortable.

“Jennifer has been an invaluable part of our lives for many years. Her unwavering dedication to our beloved fur babies has left an indelible mark on our hearts. Compassion and Kindness: Jennifer’s kindness knows no bounds. She treats our dogs and cats with genuine love and tenderness. Whether it’s a comforting pat or a playful game, she understands their needs and emotions. Safety-First Approach: When it comes to our dog’s well-being, Jennifer is meticulous. She knows how to safely walk our furry friend, ensuring he gets the exercise he needs while prioritizing his safety. We trust her implicitly with our pet’s welfare. Home Away from Home: Jennifer has stayed at our house during our travels, providing a nurturing environment for our fur babies. Her presence brings comfort to them, and we return to happy, well-cared-for pets. House and Pet Care: Not only does Jennifer look after our pets, but she also takes care of our home. It’s a relief knowing that everything is in capable hands when we’re away. In summary, Jennifer’s love, expertise, and commitment make her an exceptional pet sitter. We are forever grateful for her role in our fur family’s lives.”

About: Before the rest, on Fridays and Saturdays I work at 5pm(so anything before 4:30pm) and on Sundays and Mondays I work at 4pm(so anything before 3:30pm). Growing up we had a tank of 10+ fish, 7 chickens, and 4 dogs. Now as an adult I have 3 cats, a dog, and a ferret (Eros, Alala, Bean, Sif and Trixie are their names). They’re all my babies, and I treat them as if they were my actual children. My female cat Bean was a stray I took in when I was pregnant, she ended up having a uterine infection and had to have a kitty hysterectomy. I watched her and cared for her 24/7 till she healed up, giving her medicine, checking her incision, etc. I also had to do the same when my boy cats were fixed(their fixings were a tad easier to care for). I currently work part time, I’m a mom of one. I work “weekends” (Friday - Monday) so anytime before 3-4pm on the days i work and anytime the days I’m off. I like to make sure animals that aren’t mine are comfortable with me and I like to slowly introduce myself to not scare them if they seem uncomfortable/scared. I try to play with them often and even have them do tricks if they know them and even if they don’t just for mental stimulation.
20. Brylee Anna C.
About: I have definitely been able to take care of any kind of dog along with cleaning up after isn’t a problem for me, so if the dog is either too young or too old to be using the bathroom I can take care of that! I love dogs but I do have two cats and I take care of them daily, so I would love to help others not have to worry about their fur babies when they are at work, vacation and etc. I have a crate for dogs, and a fenced in area with a gate for bigger dogs! I also have a dog of my own to play with!
