House Sitting South Knoxville

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.

“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.”

“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!”

Caitlin G.

“Highly recommend Joy as both an in-home pet and house sitter. She took the time to do a meet and greet with our two dogs which went a long way toward building our confidence in leaving them in her care. While we were away she treated our dogs as the center of the universe and went above and beyond to be sure they were very well loved and cared for. We know this because she is very communicative sending photos and videos of them throughout the day. It was like they were at doggie summer camp. Joy left our home cleaner than we did and is a delight to work with.”

Sharon M.

“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!”

Alexander H.

“Super sweet, reliable, and sent us lots of updates while we were away, which we really appreciated.”

Samantha A.

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I am in college and have lots of free time! I have a maximum of 3 classes a day with a mix of online! That leaves more than enough time for puppy time!! I am in an apartment. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs and cats. My experience includes daily husbandry, feeding, medication administration, exercise, cleaning, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and care needs and am committed to providing safe, attentive, and individualized care. I am a full time student but I am fully able to provide care overnight. I will be able to stay with a pet over multiple days and will provide long walks (if needed) when I finish school in the afternoon. I will care for each pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. I’ll follow all owner instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, exercise, feeding, and enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout my care. I’ll also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: 2+ years of experience in kennel and veterinary settings- working with both cats and dogs with a variety of temperaments and ensuring their best experience while boarding! Dog and cat sitting experience for 10+ friends and family members countless times- comfortable with talks and indoor enrichment activities regardless of species. I currently work part-time during weekends, meaning I'm usually free Monday-Friday to play with and walked pups and cats whenever they need it! With my years of experience working with vet clinics and adjacent boarding facilities, I am comfortable working with animals with a variety of sizes and temperaments. I am more than comfortable to play inside, take dogs (or cats, if you want) on long walks, play outside, and monitor behavior to ensure beloved pets remain safe and healthy in the heat of summer.

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!

“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!”

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.

“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.”
