About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I can do just about anything with fur and four legs. I often pet sit for my parents who have 9 pets. I was also a dog groomer at Petsmart. I work part-time in Oak Ridge, but live in the Powell/Karns area. My hours very from just under 40 to one or two days a week, mostly on the lower end. Other than that, I’m all yours! I have a fenced in front and back yard with a very social poodle and a big strong boyfriend to help if needed. I’ve got a couple of crates that’ll fit up to about a 60 lb dog. We’re crawling with toys and treats, which can be filtered through to find what’s best for you pup while they’re here. Two king sized beds for wind down time, too. Our poodle, Bing Bong, goes on a mile-long walk everyday that your pup can be included on. We can lengthen or shorten the walk depending on size and energy needs. I LOVE pet sitting and having visitors, especially of the fluffy variety!

“Thank you so much for taking care of our girl.”


“Sadie is my little Pomeranian. And I cannot leave her for hours on end as I work in healthcare. Storm is dedicated to showing Sadie attention when I am not there. Storm helps Sadie with anxiety adjustment while I am away by spending quality time walking her to her favorite places. I could not ask for any other person to help me show My dog such love and dedication! I appreciate all she does for Sadie, and recommend her services very highly!”


About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and everything in between—so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I currently have a 4-year-old chocolate lab named Stokely Mae, and she's truly my best friend. I’ve raised her since she was just 7 weeks old and trained her every step of the way—from basic commands to leash manners and socializing with other animals. Every day, I manage a household with four large dogs (three Labs and one Husky), each with their own personalities and needs. I handle their feeding schedules (three times a day), including different portions and diets, with consistency and care. Whether it's high-energy playtime, calm walks, or gentle attention for older dogs, I adapt to meet each pet’s unique needs. I treat every animal like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and happy. I'm a teacher, so my summer schedule is wide open—perfect for giving your pets the attention they deserve! During the school year, I’m available for weekend care and occasional evenings. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to spend my free time with animals. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I can be flexible and reliable when you need a helping hand. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and needs—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, managing medications, or providing a calm, secure environment. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust with patience, gentle handling, and lots of positive reinforcement. In your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while keeping their surroundings tidy and stress-free. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Thank you, Jordan, for taking great care of Kojack!”


“We reached out to Karoline for reoccurring dog walks and they are simply wonderful. They are responsive, personable, kind, flexible and trustworthy. Our pup was immediately comfortable with Karoline the moment they walked through the door. They are working with Zoe to be less distracted by squirrels and critters on their walks and we also receive updates and adorable photos after their adventures. They are one of the most patience and punctual humans you will meet ... I highly recommend Karoline, and trust her completely with our fur baby.”


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 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: (PSA - I’m getting married! 😅 In December, I’ll be closing my account here to focus on being a wife and pursuing my writing/marketing career. If you already have my number and don’t mind a married couple watching your pets, we will be more than happy to serve you if our schedule allows! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 30 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer, freelance marketer, and conscious marketing coach, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a t. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list help a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful to our little Pomeranians and kitty!! She was on time for all walks and even fed them before walking in AM and PM! She is sooo good with them, they were so happy when my husband and I returned home :) We will definitely be using her again soon!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!!!”


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.

About: Hello all! I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life including horses, turtles, hamsters, and especially dogs and cats! I currently have 2 Australian cattle dogs adopted from Oak Ridge and Knoxville. They have both passed advanced training at PetSmart! I can come in for home visits to check in on your pets and/or take them for long walks! If they need any other types of care such as feeding, changing litter, administering medicine, that can be done as well. I am dedicated to providing quality service to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and safe. Nothing is more important then making sure your animals are comfortable and well taken care of. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss the care you require! I am available anytime of the week. Multiples visits per day if needed! Regularly scheduled weekly visits are available as well, typically for clients that need their dog walked. I will care for your pets the same way I would care for mine. I am dedicated to earning your trust so you can be at ease while you are away. Your pets will be safe and happy ❤️

About: While I have cared for a number of my own pets over the years, I also held down a career as a veterinary technician. With this experience, I not only gained medical knowledge, but also gained experience in pet handling, behavior management, and responsive training. I currently work a full time position with open remote capabilities. I work five minutes from my home and can easily make regular trips to the house to provide extra outdoor breaks to any pet. I also am very active with my own lovable hound dog. We take regular evening walks and spend every morning basking in the sun in our fenced in backyard. I care for every pet like they are my own. I respect every pet parents wishes on the care and safety of their pet but will also allow them to have the freedom and comfort that they would have in their own homes. We live in a child free home with a fully fenced in back yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood that offers a peaceful and safe place to live and play.

About: I have taken care of all types of fur babies for as long as i can remember of mine and others. I will always take care of yours as if they are my own. I do my own dog walking business “wiggle wag walking” I’m on here for additional clients!! I am currently working part time M-F but that doesn’t interfere with my dog walking. However, i do prefer drop in visits as it is easier to work around but not against overnight stays! I will always take care of your babies as if they were my own. As a dog mom, i understand the worry of trusting someone new with your fur baby! With that in mind i can assure you that i will do everything i can to keep them safe and happy.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. We’ve had big dogs and little dogs and I have loved every single one of them so much! I’m currently only working three days a week and have had a lot of time on my hands, I would love to fill my free time by caring for fur babies! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks! I also enjoy bringing them to a dog park or to a nature trail and having a walk in nature! I personally treat dogs like they’re one of us, making sure they have enough water and frequent bathroom trips and plenty of outdoor time!
