Dog Boarding In South Knoxville, TN

“Lauryn was great! This was our first time actually using Rover and it went very well. Lauryn was very responsive and took Sunny for a weekend on short notice which was really helpful for our family to take a last minute trip. Lauryn sent pictures and updates to let us know how it was going. We didn't have to worry at all. Highly recommend.”

“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

“Kristy was a god send to our situation. She is so kind and cares deeply about you and your pet. I was a little stressed having a baby on the way and no one nearby to watch our Pepper. I reached out to Kristy about it, because you never know when baby will be coming so it is hard to plan but she was willing to work with us and be open. We even had a trial run prior and she sent pictures and updates to makes us feel at ease with the process. She herself has an adorable dog who seems to get along with all the others. Kristy even told me about all of her regulars, their personalities, etc. She has a big couch that I know Pepper loved to be on and a high fenced in yard that I didn't need to worry she would escape from. When it came to the big day, Kristy dropped what she was doing (I say this bc of the unknown date of it all) to come pick up Pepper and even brought her back when we got home. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants your dog to feel loved and taken care of while you are away. We will definitely be using her again when needed in the future. Thank you for everything ❤️”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for cats, dogs, and even chickens! Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter what, pet care is always a priority in my routine! My days naturally revolve around caring for my own two dogs, and I intentionally plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My current schedule gives me extra flexibility and free time, which means more walks, playtime, cuddles, and one on one attention for your pet. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. If boarding at my house, I live with my boyfriend who also has a relatively flexible schedule and can provide care during any hours that I may be away. In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a large yard for playtime, two friendly dogs who love having company, and plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained. I always make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and love while they’re with me. I’m comfortable accommodating different needs and routines, whether that means crating your dog, sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, or giving them extra one on one attention. If your dog is used to snuggling up at night, they’re more than welcome to sleep in bed with us and our pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I will follow any house rules, schedules, or care instructions you have to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I love going on walks and am always happy to take dogs on adventures, get in plenty of playtime, or simply provide companionship and cuddles based on their personality and needs.

“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.

“Rachel was wonderful!! Communication was so quick and efficient with her. She sent lots of videos of my dog playing with her dogs, which put my mind at ease so much since this was the first time I have left him with a sitter I didn’t know personally. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, including seniors and puppies/kittens. I’ve been a foster with Young-Williams Animal Center since 2019 and love providing a safe, happy home for animals who make our lives richer and more loving. I currently work an 8:30 AM–5:00 PM job with a one-hour lunch break and live just five minutes from the office. I also work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility. I have a spare bedroom in my condo, and the space I provide depends on the animal’s size. For kittens, I often use the spare bathroom, keeping them warm with food, water, and a litter box nearby. For dogs, I set up their pen in the spare room with all their supplies. I also have a large fenced-in back patio where dogs can go outside, play, and run safely.
