“Wonderful pet (cat) sitter! Olive was very comfortable with Olivia. Maybe too comfortable bossing her around begging for treats and scratches. 😹 Great communication and pics/videos sent to us too! Will book again. 👍🏻”
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals for most of my life. Grew up on a farm, so no stranger to anything! Confident enough to take care of the little and the big pets! I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep. I am happy to come to your place and take care of or stay with your pet. Will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I've taken care of, and/or owned an inordinate number of animals across the years! All breeds, sizes, temperments as well as health and their age! I work 8-4 M-F, but can often flex my time around if needed. I'm open to discuss it all! Let's talk about it very soon! I have 3 dogs, and a tortoise of my own! I've a bearded dragon as well. I always will work hard to make it work!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love spending time with them and caring for them. Have cared for pets throughout their lifespan and will show your pet the same love and attention we do our own. I am currently a stay at home parent to a toddler. So I am home and available everyday to care for your furry best friend. We have an unfenced yard, but have a run/tie out that can be hooked up from our back door. Dogs are never let out without being on a lead. Also our furry best friend, River, is here to play with any new friends.
“Michaela does a great job. She’s very communicative and does a great job of taking pictures and making us feel confident our dog is safe and card for.”
About: I offer experienced, loving care tailored to each dog's needs. I specialize in dog walking and being sure your dog gets plenty of love. Daily updates with photos included! I am a college student and working part time. On Fridays I have plenty of time to play and walk your dogs any time after 3. And I am available all day on the weekends! I follow your instructions precisely for feeding and exercise. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I keep the home clean and provide lots of love and attention to keep your pets happy!
“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! Your pet will be my best friend. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to befriend yours!
About: In 2020 me and my family started fostering dogs. In that time we fostered over 10 and made sure they got to go to good homes! In that time we also ended up adopting one of the dogs as well. Since then I have always loved being around them. I am an active person and like to be outside and go on walks/runs. I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee. I would be able to fit in a pet care schedule well with my time. I currently only have one class on Monday and Wednesday and I have 3 on Tuesday and Thursday leaving my fridays wide open. Even without a pet right now I go on 2 walks/runs a day so bringing along a buddy to do so would be no problem! I know for pets especially being around a new person can be very stressful so I always think it is a good idea to meet the dog before actually agreeing to pet sit or talk it on walks to make sure that we are familiar with each other.
“Olivia has been great with my new puppy! She arrived on time, cleans up his messed, gives him outdoor time and is great about communicating what Mango has done while in her care (water, food, pee, poo, etc). She leaves everything in good order in the house. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”
About: A little about me: I used to work for the elderly doing skilled nursing, assisted living, and in home care for 5+ years because I always knew I wanted to care for people in life. I love everyone & every thing. It’s in my nature, I am patient, attentive, responsible, organized, and thoughtful. All things which are important in choosing the right fit for your fur babies. I have cared for countless of dogs and cats over the years and have references on hand. I do have a fur baby and a beautiful baby girl of my own so the only thing I would turn down is if your fur baby doesn’t get along with children. Other than that, I love dogs of all ages, sizes, & breeds! I am an open book so feel free to message me and ask me anything! I send daily pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind when you are away. (: Thank you for checking out my profile! Here is a discount link for $20 off your first booking with Rover! *Only valid for new customers https://www.rover.com/sit/kaylad87301 Greetings, my name is Kayla. I am available to board most days of the week. I don’t leave the house often so I can give my endless attention. I am usually open on Holidays as well. I will be open as much as I can as I know how stressful it is to find someone you trust! I have a large fenced in back yard for hours of play pup fun, depending on the weather of course. The house is just as fun if it’s too cold out. I also have a dog kennel for sleep time if needed as well as baby gates on my stair way to keep everyone safe. I have a large automatic water fountain for dogs & cats so you never have to worry about them running out of water! They are plenty of toys & treats to share around (: Depending on the weather and how your dog likes water I have a dog pool and a water sprinkler for some water fun in the sun! 🌞 If they are cuddle bugs, I will cuddle up with them on the couch or on the rug and give them lots of pets (: Your pets will get spoiled here!
About: I began pet sitting while in college and have enjoyed caring for dogs and cats ever since. My experience includes caring for senior dogs, accommodating allergies and food sensitivities, and following specific dietary needs and routines. I provide attentive daily care, including walks, exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and companionship. I’m also available to stay in your home while you’re away to help keep your pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m committed to treating your furry family members with the same care and affection I would give my own! I currently work from home full-time with flexibility to re-arrange my schedule as needed in addition to being able to stay in your home if needed for those who need more structure and comfort. I strive to make every dog and cat feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I respect all household rules, routines, and boundaries while providing attentive care, exercise, affection, and companionship. I’m available for overnight house-sitting to help maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide comfort in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment for your furry family members while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands.
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”
“Another great experience with Veronica! This time she came early to learn how to give my cat his meds and then was able to add on an extra day of drop-in visits on really short notice over the holiday season!”
About: I've got a passion for taking care of animals. They make our daily lives brighter. I've had my own cat and dog since age 8 and have pet sat others as well. I've got a part-time job in childcare from 3-6 during weekdays. As well as a part-time life-guarding job in the mornings some days during the weekdays, and midday some weekends. My holidays tend to be more open because I don't have work for my childcare job. Beings away from your pet is stressful for both the owner and the pet. I want to disrupt your pets daily schedule as little as possible. Keeping your pet as happy as possible is my main priority.
“I was trying to find the best sitter for my 2 cats while I was on vacation. After scrolling thru Rover's listing, I came across Angela and I knew she was the perfect person for the job. She sent me updates and photos each time she checked in on them so I knew they were doing well. She also interacted with me the entire time so if I had a question or concern outside of her checking on my cats, she promptly replied. She was on top of everything, making the entire experience seamless. Angela, thanks again for taking SUCH care of my cats. As soon as I book my next vacation, you'll be the first person I contact.”
“Adeline checked in on our 2 dogs and cat while I had a last minute overnight night trip and needed someone to let the dogs out for a potty break and feed and water for the night. Adeline was so kind in agreeing to care for them last minute and sent updates at each check in. She even brought in packages that were delivered without me having to ask so it wasn’t sitting in the front porch all day.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Skaggston is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,191 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Skaggston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Skaggston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
