“Joy was amazing! She took phenomenal care of three dogs. They were walked multiple times a day and given lots of snuggles. I’m so excited to find someone so trustworthy to love on my pups while I’m away. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Olivia did a great job caring for our dog over the weekend while we went out of town. She came by for a meet and greet the weekend before, and stayed in touch before and during our trip. Olivia arrived on time and kept us updated with texts and pictures while we were away. We will definitely trust our fur baby to her care again in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi ! Thank you for checking me out! I have been taking care of fur babies for 30+ years. I have experience in handling all manner of babies and things like special meal plans and giving medications are not an issue. From socializing puppies and kittens to snuggling senior dogs and cats; I can accommodate all. While I primarily handle dogs and cats, I have also loved on rabbits, fresh water fish, and birds. I work from home, so it makes it easy and convenient for me to care for your pet. Pick up and drop off times arranged on an individual basis. As a general rule nothing before 7:00 am and nothing after 7 pm. I live in a 1 story 1000 sq foot home. My yard is partially closed in with a fence; however, I would always have your pet leased when outside. I live on a dead end street which is quaint and quiet for a nice walk.
About: Hi everyone! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15, and walking dogs since I was 10 years old. I have pet-sat a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I also have experience with any age or health status- senior dogs, kittens, medicated pets, etc. In general, I’ve experienced many different circumstances, so I can adjust easily. Animals have been a lifelong interest for me. I was the girl begging my parents for a dog, and I take care of my current roommate’s cat frequently while she’s away. I promise to nourish, entertain, and take care of your pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college senior, though I only have on-campus classes twice a week. This means I can be present quite often for your pet. 4-6 hours or more between feeding/potty breaks is ideal for me. Besides that, I'm quite flexible. In my college house, we already have a cat, and my family back home has a dog; needless to say, I'm used to caring for pets in my free time. I can only pet-sit at the client's house. Due to my roommates and the cat we have, I'm unable to board a pet. I always keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and ensure they're fed on time every day. If they get into something, I'll clean them up no problem. I also have a list of emergency vets I'm prepared to go to if the client doesn't have a preferred vet of their own. However, my specific care of the pet(s) depends on the client's instructions and preferences.
“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”

“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.
About: I'm KJ and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your pets! I have been an animal lover all my life. I grew up with dogs and became a first time cat mama in 2019, then added two more to the bunch soon after. We adopted a senior dog this year. I was lucky enough to end up with a partner and friends who work with professional dog and cat entertainers, and I have experience caring for, playing with, and cuddling those animals, as well as friends and family’s pets. While I cannot board your pet since I have my own, I'd love to do drop in visits or overnight stays to ensure they are comfortable and have fun while you're away! I often tag team my pet sitting with my partner, Rachel, who is also a certified Rover sitter. If I'm not available or if I already have a booking for your proposed days, Rachel can help you out! Check out her profile at https://www.rover.com/sit/rachej43290. 🏳️🌈 queer cat and dog owner and would love to offer my services to other queer/trans pet parents I work as a baker during the day, but am off three days a week, so I can spend all day with your babies on those days! I try to make your pet as comfortable as possible, and always respect their boundaries. If they love cuddles, my lap is open! If they’d rather not be pet except when approached, I’ll ensure they have their space and are comfortable.
About: I have had years of experience working with all kinds of cats, dogs, and guniea pigs, including regular and one-time customers. I have also lived with animals my whole life and regularly walked my large german shepherd growing up, so I’m extremely comfortable working with larger dogs and breeds deemed “aggressive.” In addition, I have cared for countless other animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, quail, and rabbits and I am more than happy to assist with more exotic or unique animals! I am a graduate from the University of Tennessee who works full-time selling plants at local markets and festivals! Because of my varying work times, I value flexibility and communication when it comes to scheduling. I’m usually available in mornings or evenings, with limited weekend availability. Just let me know what you need and we can see if it’ll be a good fit!! I am well-trained in understanding an animal’s behavior and responding properly to it, whether thats general anxiety or a requesting needs to be fulfilled. I have taken multiple animal science classes, including one dedicated to small animals such as dogs and cats. I also have over five years of experience in the plant industry so I am more than capable of caring for any houseplants or gardens while you are gone!!
“Gabriella was fantastic with our dogs — great communication throughout and she left the house exactly as she found it. Highly recommend her if you need someone reliable and attentive!”
“Melissa is the BEST doggy sitter! She goes above and beyond for both me and my baby and I am so at ease having her stay at my home with him while I’m gone. You’re in for a real treat when you choose Melissa as your sitter!”

“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

“We loved Jessica. She was prompt and very professional. She did a home visit before she stayed over. The dogs loved her. We didn't have to worry about them while we were gone because we knew that they were in good hands. She also sent us photos of the dogs while we were out of town. When we got home, everything was in order. We would definitely book Jessica again.”
“Tate was so wonderful and the animals adored him. Great with communicating and was very respectful and took great care of our home as well. We will definitely have Tate back again.”

“My dog loved Pam, and so did I, during her time house sitting. She was communicative and transparent about everything and helped give me confidence with my first time using Rover. She went above and beyond, keeping my space clean and taking my dog to the vet when there was an eye injury. I can definitely say I will book again.”


“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”

“Sydney was amazing with all of my fur babies. The dogs and cats loved her! Even my antisocial cat! She never goes around new people but she showed her face just after a day! They were all taken very good care of and I would definitely use her again!”

“This was the second time we got to work with Rebecca! Both times she was great! This latest time our oldest dog decided to be challenging with some accidents and she had to deal with that. She just cared for our fragile German Shepard. She took great care of our home and sent regular updates! Rebecca is great and we hope we can work with her more in the future. Thank you!”

“Teresa was very good with our Yorkies. She took good care of them, we felt confident about her abilities concerning our fir kids. Very neat and responsive to all of our requests, she took excellent care of them, we will use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Knoxville
Katherine watched our pup when we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier! She was very flexible and accommodating around her schedule to spend as much time with Obi as she could. She sent updates letting us know everything was okay and going well. The house also looked spectacular upon arriving home too!

Elaina was absolutely wonderful with our boys! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsive throughout her stay, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated. She put our minds at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip without any worries, knowing our boys were in great hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her!

Susan was great! She stopped at our house multiple times a day to let our pups out, and stayed with them for multiple hours each day to play and take them for walks. She was very attentive when receiving instructions on how to take care of them, and went so far as taking notes. She updated me each day with how our dogs were doing and what they did for the day, and even included pictures of them. We will definitely be hiring Susan again for our future travels.

Lauren did a great job giving them plenty of attention and made sure they stayed within their normal routines. Both of our dogs can get anxious when there is change and we can confidently say Lauren made sure that was not an issue for them. We would highly recommend her.

This was the second time Hailey has stayed with our dogs, and this time she saved the day when we had to find a sitter on super short notice — SO thankful. She's a great communicator, and she sent us thoughtful daily updates that made us feel at ease while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dogs' needs (and our spicy beagle's many... quirks), and she left our house in great shape. Highly recommended!

A diligent sitter who did an excellent job caring for our dog and our home. We appreciated her taking the time to complete a meet and greet before her stay, where she asked great questions to learn how best to care for our dog. During the stay she provided regular updates and photos.
