About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.
“Anna is a great dog walker. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and comfortable. She is kind, a true animal lover and is comfortable taking initiative when needed.”

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. 🐈 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.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and treat every animal as if they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats with a wide range of personalities. I’m comfortable administering medication, handling anxious or senior pets, and following detailed feeding or training routines. I’ve volunteered with local shelters, so I understand how to build trust with animals who need extra patience and compassion. Reliability, empathy, and safety always come first. I’m currently a law student in downtown Knoxville, with classes Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I’m available for pet care afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My mornings before class and nights are also flexible for quick drop-ins or feeding visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm and secure environment where cats feel at ease and cared for. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine to build consistency and trust. I carefully follow all instructions, including medication, feeding times, and favorite toys, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make every visit safe, stress free, and filled with love
About: I've grown up with Labs and have been around dogs my whole life. I've cared for all kinds of pups and kitties—young, old, playful, shy! Friends and family have trusted me for years to look after their dogs, and I treat every one like my own. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'm here to help! I’m a PT student at LMU, so I keep a pretty full but adaptable schedule. That said, I’m usually available most afternoons after 5 and have lots of flexibility on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I love winding down with walks, playtime, or just hanging out with a furry friend! Wherever I’m caring for pets, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions appropriately—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, meds, or cuddle preferences! I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Lyla was great, took care of everything and followed pet care instructions to the letter. Charlie seems happy, healthy and well rested when I got home, didn't seem stressed at all and looked like he was enjoying his walks. Fish look perfect, not overfed! On the minute updates of Charlie's actions and potty break info, pictures with each update. 10/10 will hire again”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every age since 14 years old. I have experience working for professional boarding services as well as for friends and family. I love dogs and would love to help care for yours! I'm currently a remote, online university student so my schedule is very flexible and open to any needed care arrangements. I can be there whenever your dog needs. I live in a house with my girlfriend who also works remotely and loves animals. I care about providing a healthy, safe, and enjoyable environment for your pet to stay in. They'll always be treated like family.
About: I've always been dedicated to my pets growing up, and loved to meet with other's pets. While I'm relatively new to professional pet care, I've watched my family and friends' pets since my youth! I'm dedicated to communicating with pet parents while I care for their pets to make sure they have the best experience possible. I have experience administering oral (dogs) and transdermal/ear medications (cats). My schedule is currently open and flexible! I am a recent UTK grad, and although I have completed my studies as a college student, I am continuing work on one of my projects, and most of my work is from the computer, and am also partaking in a field internship a couple days out of the week. I am taking a break from other forms of work, so I'm very available to help you with your petsitting needs. I am a morning person and would work well with 'early bird' pets, but can be flexible if a pet needs a late night let out, medication, or other attention during late night hours. I share my house with roommates and their pets, so I'd prefer to watch your pet in your home unless I've gotten to know and built trust with your pet over several visits. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including time together on the couch watching a show, napping together, or going out for strolls or to the park to relax outside.
About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!

Courtney did amazing with my young puppy. I was very grateful that she walked him over a mile!! That is really hard to do with a puppy but made me feel better being away. She had great communication and she loved on him. Highly recommend booking with Courtney.
