“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.”

“We loved getting all the pictures and videos. It was clear that our babies were being well loved in our absence. Joy was very respectful of our home and wishes. Jack and Callie can't wait to have Auntie Joy come back!”


“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: Hey! I'm Darby, I have 6 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Pet sitting was the fist way I discovered I could make money when I was in middle school, and I still love it to this day! I have about 1.5 years of experience working as a trained veterinary technician. This means that I am comfortable working with special needs animals, providing special diets, and administering medication. I am also familiar working with animals that may be anxious. Right now, I'm studying animal biology at The University of Tennessee, working at an exotic animal clinic, and am starting to apply for veterinary school. Relevant Classes: Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Small Animal Veterinary Medicine I'm currently working part-time and taking college courses online. My best availability is all-day Friday-Sunday, but I can be flexible if I have a heads up! I like to make sure I have everything I need to know from a client before they leave so I don't have to bother them too much while they're away! This includes medication, feeding schedule, behavioral problems, and any space that may be off limits to myself and/or the pet. I'm no stranger to a mess, so no worries if your pet is prone to accidents.
“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.”

“Allison did a great job sitting with our dog while we were on vacation. She asked questions and sent pictures to let us know our pup was ok. We will definitely use Allison again.”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs/cats for family and friends ever since I was 10. I adopted the sweetest pitty 6 years ago, she is great with all other animals and loves to have playdates! I am very reliable when it comes to going on walks or making a trip to the bark park! I am currently a full time graduate student. I have plenty of time in the afternoons on weekdays, and all day on the weekends to spend time with your furry friends! I am available to take care of your furry friends at home, and will maintain a healthy and safe environment for you and your pets!
“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!”

“Ian was SO incredibly kind. I have a Great Dane that is very needy & also very emotional. Ian made him feel like nothing changed when we left. Also the house looked like we never left when we returned. I cannot recommend him enough!!”

“Erin was great again; this was a rebook, and I’ll be booking her again. She was reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of my cats. I especially appreciated coming back to a clean house just as I left it, and the peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“She was absolutely wonderful with our slightly difficult dog and our cat loved her as well . We felt at ease on our trip knowing that our pets and home were well taken care of. I highly recommend and we will definitely be using Elaina again for any future house pet/ house sitting.”

About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours volunteering in the community (Knoxville), which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and a few hours of companionship, and I’m also open to overnight stays in a clean and comfortable home. I typically work during the day for about 7 hours, usually from 6 AM–1 PM or 8 AM–3 PM, but I’m happy to stop by before and after work to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they need. I’m respectful of your home, your instructions, and your pet’s boundaries. My experience has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant, and prepared, especially in situations where someone is depending on me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. P.s - MY dog is a RUNNER so don’t worry I know how to make sure they stay inside.

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.

“Campbell, was right on time and he was wonderful. We could not have ever asked for anyone better for out Louie. Campbell left us worry free to attend the wedding. We would recommend him for anyone that needs a sitter. We would love to give him more stars than we had to give”

“Angela was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job caring for our three pups — you can tell she truly loves animals. She was super sweet and showed so much love and attention to each of them. Communication was excellent throughout, and we had zero issues. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her care. Highly recommend! 🐾”

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!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our two high-energy dogs received! They require a lot of exercise, attention, and patience, and it was clear they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and pleasantly tired—a true sign they got plenty of playtime and love. It’s such a relief to have someone we can completely trust with our pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!

Literally the best! I recently moved to Knoxville and brought a very anxious pup with me. I was really worried about leaving him while I had to travel for a weekend (especially on 4th of July weekend, he’s terrified of fireworks). Anna went above and beyond to reassure me of his wellbeing and sent a plethora of pictures! She also watched my cat too (she is pretty self sufficient hehe) and Anna even made sure to send pictures of her as well! Will definitely be booking again very soon!

Helena is just the best! This was the first time leaving my little fellow since moving and I could not have asked for a better experience! Receiving updates, pictures, and videos daily helped so much! When I got home, he was doing good and the house was clean, sheets washed, and straightened. I will definitely be using Helena!
