“Haley was fantastic! She took such great care of our kitties and we loved the pictures she sent us. It gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring her again ?”


“Stephanie did an amazing job at taking care of my cat. She was a great communicator throughout the process and super sweet. She went above and beyond what I expected, I would highly recommend her!”


“Alicia was fantastic! She treated my cats like they were her own, she provided detailed info on her daily visits, and she made sure my cat got his meds when he needed them. Alicia was incredible and I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“I knew Karen would be fast to respond one way or another when I asked her to visit my cats same-day because of a family emergency. She went above and beyond, even taking in a package I needed refrigerated and putting the box where the kittens couldn't get to the ice packs. 100% recommend.”


About: My family had dogs throughout my childhood, and I was helping take care of them as early as 10 years old. I have had many dogs throughout my adult life as well, including raising and training puppies (of some notoriously stubborn breeds I might add!). I raised my last dog from the time he was 6 weeks old. I also have plenty experience administering medicine, including giving insulin shots. Dogs and other animals can generally sense my loving vibe and feel comfortable around me right away. I work remote from home, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I also have very few commitments outside of work, besides some volunteering and yoga once a week. I will treat your pet with love and respect as if it were my own. I'm happy to accommodate any of your pets' needs and personality types. Energetic young buck? Let's play fetch or go for a run. Nervous Nellie? I'm here to comfort and soothe you with belly rubs for days. Attention craver? I'm all yours, show me that awesome toy again.

“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”


“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”


About: Hey y'all! I have a love for animals and I'm looking for pets to hang out with and care for while I'm in school and working a full time job. I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license with Penn Foster. Luckily, it's a strictly online school! I'm also a full-time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. Friends and family have always considered me very trustworthy with their pets since I was young! I can't remember a time when I didn't love animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years for my family and parents' coworkers, but I thought I would step it up and try Rover! I currently work at an animal hospital and I previously worked at a doggy daycare. All of this while also being in school to get my license! These experiences have helped me gain important skills and qualifications to take care of any pet! Some of the skills that make me qualified include: -Giving oral medication -Injectable medication -Senior dog experience -First Aid -Bathing -Walking -Providing boarding care (keeping up with food, water, and playtime) -and of course I'm experienced with providing a whole lotta love! I'm currently working around 32-36 hours a week at an animal hospital, which means I work long hours occasionally, but I will still make plenty of time to stay with your fur babies and watch over them before and after work. My pet is animal reactive so she has to be kept on a leash when taken out to go potty. She eats 1 cup in the AM and PM

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with all size dogs and I am comfortable with them. Happy to feed, walk, bathe, work on training, you name it, I’m down! I do not currently have a job. I watch pets full time! I do have a Yorkie and a Maltese. I live in LaFollette with my husband. I have a big yard and a very walkable neighborhood. Animals I take care of get treated like my own family. I am happy to make specific accommodations for any pet I watch.

About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student doing rover part time during the summer and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Monday every week for two hours and an animal shelter with kitties for two hours every Thursday evening. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

“So happy that I chose Jolie to watch our cats while we were away for the holidays. I didn’t worry about them at all because she would always send me photos and detailed updates about them. I would love to book her again! You can really tell how much she loves and respects animals.”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I enjoy training commands and just spending time and playing with all animals in general. Each animal has their own personality and quirks and I love to discover that makes each animal unique. I currently work full time and am a dog mama of 2(11 years old and 6 years old) I have free time on evenings and weekends to care for your pals. I care for pets with the upmost care and respect towards the animals and their owners. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as the same.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

“Storm has been great watching my 3 kitties while I have been away. She is caring and attentive. I trust her with them, including with my two special needs cats to administer medication twice daily. I would recommend her for your pets!”
