“Wow- we will absolutely be requesting Joy’s help again! One of our dogs can be a little difficult but it didn’t phase Joy at all. She sent a ton a photos and videos, and clearly took spending time with the seriously.”

“Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!”

“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”


“Alli did a wonderful job sitting for Koda while I was out of town for a night. She sent lots of pictures, walked him and made sure his meds were given, not to mention my house was spotless when I came home. Would highly her recommend especially for people with senior dogs!”

About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others throughout my life. I am familiar with dogs, cats and small animals! I will make sure that your companion has everything they need as well as lots of affection and play time. Capable of providing senior care, but no experience administering medication. I am currently working part-time Wednesday through Friday. I am completely unavailable those days except a morning/night check-in. Saturday-Tuesday I have an open schedule and can be on property as long as needed. Not only will I take care of your fuzzy friend exactly how they need, I am also a great house guest and will ensure your home is in the same condition when you arrive back. I will alert you to anything that may seem wrong on the property and will take care of any pet related messes.
“Abby was excellent with my two rescue dogs! They are each 50 lbs with two different personalities and she handled them perfectly. She was easy-going with them and made them feel comfortable in the house while I was away. She kept up on their medicine schedule and even swept up all their hair! I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”

“Taylor did an amazing job with my big babies. He was very responsible and kept me informed daily. I felt like he loved my pups so well, they barely missed me. lol I will definitely use him again.”


“Stephanie was just what we needed for a quick get away. She have consistent updates and not too much or not too little communication. Professional and courteous! Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m new to Rover and I’d love to be your dog or cats new best friend! I’ve grown up with Norwegian Elkhounds & Akita’s, so I am very familiar with large snow breeds. I have always pet sat for my neighbors, family friends, and coworkers. I’m comfortable caring for animals of many sizes and personalities - for real. I’ve watched dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, bunnies, and even birds. I am a pre-vet junior at UTK, and currently work at a large animal hospital - mainly with equines! I’m a part time college student with a part time job. Dog/cat sitting is a fun side job for me! I am able to do drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I am not able to have animals stay at my apartment, but I am very happy to stay with them at their house. I also feel it’s more comfortable and convenient for them!
“This is the second time we have booked with Collette for dog sitting. They were well taken care of. It gave us piece of mind to know she was with them. We have already booked with her again for a future trip.”


About: Hi! With 7 years of experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I provide a safe and fun environment for your furry friends during your get away. Please reach out with your questions As a current dental student, I wake up early and can get your furry friends outside for a walk. I come home for lunch everyday at 12 and let them get some steps in. I’m back home for the night around 5pm and spend the rest of the night with them I have an accessible, pet-friendly apartment with no other animals. I can walk them around for all the sniffs and secure them back in my unit.
“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!”

“Hannah took good care of our dogs and left the house clean and tidy. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home, which is what matters most! Everything went smoothly, and we appreciate her taking care of our pups.”

“Helena took great care of my dog and gave her lots of love! She went above and beyond giving her walks and playing with her while we were gone, and took good care of the house too. Would book her again!”

“Overall, a nice house-sitting experience. The house was clean when I returned, the litter boxes were well maintained, and the cats were safe. We discussed a few care details that are important to me and clarified expectations going forward.”

About: Hi! I’m Susan. I’m a graduate student at UT hoping to make a little extra money on the side. I love love doggos, treating them like humans. I've had a dog the majority of my life, starting with a Visla, mixed breed bulldog, and a black labrador retriever in our house when I was a child. I have owned two mixed american staffordshire terriers and a golden retriever myself. I've cared for them as puppies, through life, surgeries, and health, and at the end of life. I am gentle and let dogs interact with me on their terms. I am open to caring for all types of dogs. I would love to take care of your pups. I am a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my schedule is very flexible. I also don't get a lot of vacation time, so I'm usually in Knoxville. I can care for pets throughout the day, doing my lab work intermittently. I treat my client's home and pets with the utmost respect. I am there to do the job for which you hired me and nothing else, and you can count on me for it.

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.

Alli did a wonderful job sitting for Koda while I was out of town for a night. She sent lots of pictures, walked him and made sure his meds were given, not to mention my house was spotless when I came home. Would highly her recommend especially for people with senior dogs!

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.

Bridget watched our pup for a weekend and our pup was content the entire time! We got lots of updates and pictures checking in to let us know how our pup was doing which was great. Our house also looked wonderful upon arriving home too which is a plus! Great sitter!
