“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”

“Tate was so wonderful and the animals adored him. Great with communicating and was very respectful and took great care of our home as well. We will definitely have Tate back again.”

“We loved getting all the pictures and videos. It was clear that our babies were being well loved in our absence. Joy was very respectful of our home and wishes. Jack and Callie can't wait to have Auntie Joy come back!”

“Wow! Jill is all kinds of fabulous. We have three dogs that require constant snuggles, pets and play! Jill delivered! I never worried about my fur babies the week we were away. She kept us up to date and didn’t mind when my daughter got sick and needed an extra update of her dog. Would and will book her again without hesitation!”
“Here’s a great review you can use for your dog sitter: Review: [Dog sitter’s name] was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, very communicative, and gave my dog lots of love and attention.

About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
“Angela was absolutely amazing. She exceeded our expectations. We are typically very skeptical of meeting new people on Rover. Our dog is just as picky. He took to her right away and couldn't leave her alone. She communicated with us every step of the way. She sent pictures and updated us as she came and went. She left our home in the same condition it was in when she left. We will most definitely be using her in the future! Thank you again so much Angela!”

“We have 3 senior dogs that do best staying in the environment and routine they are familiar with so an in-home sitter is a must. Jayne had stellar reviews and is also newer to Knoxville just like my husband and I. We knew instantly during the meet and greet that Jayne would be a great match for us and our pups. When our trip came closer, Jayne proactively reached out to nail down details. She sent updates when she arrived to the house as well as daily photos. We were over 2,500 miles away in Portland and were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our pups were in Jayne’s care! We look forward to using her again!”


About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

“She came at last minute request and made herself available for all week. My dog is finicky, so I'm not sure how much interaction they had besides throwing the ball a few times. I didn't get any photos thru the dtay, but she also knew I was at hospital with my mom. Overall , I would use her again in an emergency, but I'm trying to get my dog to be out of kennel completely”

About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently working part-time but am always looking to pet sit for extra income. I'm available throughout most of the week for drop-in visits and occasional overnight house sitting throughout summer breaks and holidays. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.
“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”

Crystal was absolutely amazing! She really made our dog feel relaxed and when we came home he wasn’t stressed or anxious. She followed all instructions and sent a ton of pictures and updates which we loved! House was spotless when she left and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She’s exactly what you want when booking a sitter. 10/10 recommend!

Crystal is the total package! She’s kind, sweet, respectful, and my animals love her! She sends me photo updates and is excellent at communication. I immediately felt comfortable with her when we met and knew she would be great for my animals. She truly loves them like they’re her own. I wish she could babysit them always! I have booked with her several times, and she’s always my first choice!
