1. Kristy T.
“Absolutely amazing! I can't say enough good things about Kristy! She listened to all of our concerns and little quirks about our boys and made us feel completely welcomed. She sent us multiple pictures of our boys while they were with her, and our puppy had a great time playing with another dog she was watching! She has a fenced in backyard with a doggy door that allows constant outside access which my older boy especially liked. I will definitely be using her services in the future and highly recommend Kristy!”
2. Joseph B.
“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”
3. Emily W.
“Amazing as always! I don’t ever even consider using anyone else because Millie loves spending time with them and sometimes I’m convinced she doesn’t want to come home with me after visiting with them. Love love love using this family and trust them with Millie completely.”

“Our bernedoodle seemed to love her time with Melissa. She was happy to see her at the meet and great and then was a bundle of excitement when we went back for her stay and to pick her up after. Thank you!”
5. Avonlea K.
“Cooper seemed to enjoy his time at Avonlea's house. He immediately felt relaxed with her and her dogs. I'm glad that he got to run around the fenced-in yard with her dogs instead of being cooped up in a crate at the vet. I will definitely use Avonlea, again!”
6. Camryn S.
“My pup had a lot of fun with camryn and her family, he’s been sleeping since we brought him home. Camryn was very flexible with us as we traveled out of state and added an extra day last minute. We would use her again!”
7. Haley F.
“Haley was AWESOME with our child (pup). It was our first time ever leaving our dog and we were so nervous, but Haley was so attentive to our crazy girl. She sent us pictures every day, stayed on top of our pup’s needs, and just overall treated her like her own. You don’t know what to expect going into this, but I can promise you that Haley will love on your fur child like she did ours. Will 100% be using her again?”
8. Brittany B.
“We felt so comfortable leaving both of our dogs with Brittany! She sent pictures and communicated with us while we were gone about how our dogs were doing. When we picked up our babies they were very happy and very tired from playing! We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a boarder :)”

17. Erica K.
“Erica(Ricki) has watched my dog, Porter, multiple times, and she’s always my first choice. Her deep love for animals is obvious, and she’s incredibly reliable and attentive. Even when Porter was just a few months old and needed extra care as a puppy, Ricki handled everything perfectly. Since that first visit, I’ve felt completely at ease knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She’s truly a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
18. Courtney R.
“Courtney & her fiancee were absolutely wonderful with our corgi Lucy. She was very thorough & made sure that she knew Lucy’s routines and quirks which I really appreciated! We also received lots of pictures throughout our trip. The best part was that Lucy acted completely normal as soon as we brought her home, letting us know she was well looked after and loved. We are happy to have found another Rover in the Knoxville area & highly recommend her to anyone!”

I feel like she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of my dog and goes above and beyond for us. I wouldn't trust anyone else! Definitely recommend for anyone that needs a pet sitter in the area!”
