About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.

“Jasmin took such great care of our home and Millie! She gave us updates and photos throughout the trip and our home was in great shape upon our return! Millie loves playing with and going on walks with Jasmin!!”

“Super pleased with how well Chelcie took care of my 14-year old dog. My dog requires different meds at different times of the day. Chelcie kept track of everything with no worries. She provided daily reports to me on how well all was going - much appreciated. Sweet. Thoughtful. And very Trustworthy. I'll be using Chelcie again for sure!”


About: Being a pet-sitter isn't just a way for me to make money. It's a way of life that aligns with who I am. I've always felt most at peace around animals. Growing up with pets they were more than just companions. They were part of the family. So the idea that I can combine that love for animals with something I do for work is truly fulfilling. I spent 10 beautiful, years with my partner in crime, a Great Dane named Padmé. Being a bigger dog, I feel confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Other than volunteering at the Young-Williams Animal Shelter where I've been trained in canine handling, this is my primary job. I am currently available Monday through Sunday starting as early as 6am until 8 pm. I am flexible and can work within your schedule. I provide a calm and quiet introduction to allow your pet to become acclimated to my presence. On walks, I allow pups ample time to sniff and explore their environment on the walk.

About: I love animals! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens. You name it, we probably had it! I’ve fostered a senior dog and babysat my sister’s puppy, but I’m just not ready to commit to getting a pup of my own. I’m currently studying for a professional exam for my career. I have the opportunity to go over and let your pets out at any time :) I can easily crate your pet! I’m relative strong and can move your pet around when needed although I prefer for them to move themselves of course! It’s not a problem if you have a stubborn pet though!

“Haley was great! She took wonderful care of our four-legged children and kept me updated throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Haley!!”


About: Ever since I was born we have had a dog in the house, I have also been pet sitting for neighbors and friends since I was probably 10. Moving to Knoxville for school, I had to leave both of my puppies at home and miss them so much everyday! I did a lot of pet sitting my senior year of high school and found it a good way for me to make money. I had a job at a doggy daycare in town but unfortunately my schedule this year would not allow for the time! I am an active person but definitely enjoy it a lot more with a furry friend to walk with whether that’s at the park or just in a neighborhood! I am currently a 3rd year student at UTK studying nursing, and will be here for the next few years taking classes and hopefully eventually working at UT med, I would love to help out as my schedule allows! I have a lot of knowledge about dogs since i spend a lot of time around them and just enjoy making a dogs life better! I am a student with my classes currently 1 day a week, over the summer, in the fall I will have 3 days of classes per week. If my schedule allows I would LOVE to help out! Please always reach out with any questions! I can pretty much do anything with an explanation, once I get a feel for the home and the dog it will be easier but I constantly try to love and spoil them because I know that’s the best part of their day! Wanting to be a nurse I just love to care for others which is why I enjoy taking care of dogs and just giving them the best life possible. I have a truck as well so very reliable transportation however they’re safety is my top priority and making sure they don’t feel uncomfortable especially in their own home.

“Lucy is so sweet, great at communication, and she was wonderful with our 7 mo old pup!”


About: I am a veterinary student at UTCVM. I got my first dog at the age of 10, so I have been actively caring for pets for more than half of my life. I have worked with dogs and cats in a clinic setting the last 4 years. I have actively pet sat since I was 12 for local people in my neighborhood. I love puppies and I have a lot of experience caring for geriatric patients who need that extra care at home! I am currently in the middle of vet school so I am busy mostly during the week, but I am available on weekends! I am also available on Fridays usually and I am willing to work with you to see if your pet needs any additional care or time! During winter, summer and other week long breaks I am 100% available! I can easily crate your dog if needed and make sure that they have everything they need while their owner is away. It’s important to make sure both the environment and the animal is safe when no one is around and to make the area as pet friendly as possible.

“Madison did a great job! She took care of my fur babies like they were her own and sent pictures and videos when they did something cute. She kept things clean and tidy and everyone seemed very happy when I got home! Definitely will use again!”
